Liber Numeri 6

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

2 Loquere ad filios Israël, et dices ad eos: Vir, sive mulier, cum fecerint votum ut sanctificentur, et se voluerint Domino consecrare:

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —When any man or woman, would make the special vow of One Separate, by separating himself unto Yahweh,

3 a vino, et omni quod inebriare potest, abstinebunt. Acetum ex vino, et ex qualibet alia potione, et quidquid de uva exprimitur, non bibent: uvas recentes siccasque non comedent

from wine and strong drink, shall he separate himself, neither vinegar of wine nor vinegar of strong drink, shall he drink, —and no liquor of grapes, shall he drink, no grapes fresh or dried, shall he eat.

4 cunctis diebus quibus ex voto Domino consecrantur: quidquid ex vinea esse potest, ab uva passa usque ad acinum non comedent.

All the days of his separation, of nothing that is made from the grapevine from the seeds even to the skin, shall he eat.

5 Omni tempore separationis suæ novacula non transibit per caput ejus usque ad completum diem, quo Domino consecratur. Sanctus erit, crescente cæsarie capitis ejus.

All the days of his vow of separation, no razor, shall pass over his head, —until the days are fulfilled for which he shall separate himself to Yahweh hallowed, shall he be, letting the locks of the hair of his head grow long.

6 Omni tempore consecrationis suæ, super mortuum non ingredietur,

All the days for which he hath separated himself unto Yahweh to no dead person, shall he go in.

7 nec super patris quidem et matris et fratris sororisque funere contaminabitur, quia consecratio Dei sui super caput ejus est.

Neither for his father nor for his mother nor for his brother nor for his sister, shall he make himself unclean-not even for them, should they die, —because, his separation unto God, is upon his head,

8 Omnibus diebus separationis suæ sanctus erit Domino.

All his days of separation hallowed, is he unto Yahweh.

9 Sin autem mortuus fuerit subito quispiam coram eo, polluetur caput consecrationis ejus: quod radet illico in eadem die purgationis suæ, et rursum septima.

But if one that is dying should die by him in a moment suddenly, then shall he count unclean his head of separation, —and shall shave his head, on the day he cleanseth himself, on the seventh day, shall he shave it.

10 In octava autem die offeret duos turtures, vel duos pullos columbæ sacerdoti in introitu fœderis testimonii.

And on the eighth day, shall he bring in. two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, —unto the priest, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting;

11 Facietque sacerdos unum pro peccato, et alterum in holocaustum, et deprecabitur pro eo, quia peccavit super mortuo: sanctificabitque caput ejus in die illo:

and the priest shall make, of one a sin—bearer and of one an ascending-sacrifice, and so put a propitiatory-covering over him, for that he sinned in respect of the dead person, —thus shall he hallow his head on that day.

12 et consecrabit Domino dies separationis illius, offerens agnum anniculum pro peccato: ita tamen ut dies priores irriti fiant, quoniam polluta est sanctificatio ejus.

Then shall he separate unto Yahweh his days of separation, and shall bring in a he-lamb a year old as a guilt-bearer, —and, the first days, shall be lost because his separation, was made unclean.

13 Ista est lex consecrationis. Cum dies, quos ex voto decreverat, complebuntur, adducet eum ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis,

And, this, is the law of the Separate One, on the day when he fulfilleth his days of separation, he shall be brought in unto the entrance of the tent of meeting:

14 et offeret oblationes ejus Domino, agnum anniculum immaculatum in holocaustum, et ovem anniculam immaculatam pro peccato, et arietem immaculatum, hostiam pacificam,

then shall he bring near as his offering unto Yahweh.—one he-lamb a year old, without defect for an ascending-sacrifice, and one ewe-lamb a year old without defect for a sin-bearer, —and one ram, without defect for a peace-offering;

15 canistrum quoque panum azymorum qui conspersi sint oleo, et lagana absque fermento uncta oleo, ac libamina singulorum:

and a basket of unleavened cakes—fine meal in round cakes overflowed with oil, and thin cakes of unleavened bread, anointed with oil, —with their meal-offering and their drink-offerings.

16 quæ offeret sacerdos coram Domino, et faciet tam pro peccato, quam in holocaustum.

Then shall the priest bring [them] near before Yahweh, —and offer his sin-bearer and his ascending-sacrifice;

17 Arietem vero immolabit hostiam pacificam Domino, offerens simul canistrum azymorum, et libamenta quæ ex more debentur.

and the ram, shall he offer as a peace-offering unto Yahweh, besides the basket of unleavened cakes, —and the priest shall offer the meal-offering thereof and the drink-offering thereof,

18 Tunc radetur nazaræus ante ostium tabernaculi fœderis cæsarie consecrationis suæ: tolletque capillos ejus, et ponet super ignem, qui est suppositus sacrificio pacificorum:

Then shall the Separate One shave, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, his head of separation, —and take the hair of his head of separation, and put upon the fire, which is under the peace-offering.

19 et armum coctum arietis, tortamque absque fermento unam de canistro, et laganum azymum unum, et tradet in manus nazaræi, postquam rasum fuerit caput ejus.

Then shall the priest take the shoulder for boiling from the ram, and one unleavened round cake from the basket, and one unleavened thin cake, —and place them on the hands, of the Separate One after he hath shaven off his [hair of] separation;

20 Susceptaque rursum ab eo, elevabit in conspectu Domini: et sanctificata sacerdotis erunt, sicut pectusculum, quod separari jussum est, et femur. Post hæc, potest bibere nazaræus vinum.

and the priest shall wave them as a wave-offering before Yahweh, hallowed, it is for the priest, besides the wave breast, and besides the heave leg, —and, afterwards, may the Separate One drink wine.

21 Ista est lex nazaræi, cum voverit oblationem suam Domino tempore consecrationis suæ, exceptis his, quæ invenerit manus ejus: juxta quod mente devoverat, ita faciet ad perfectionem sanctificationis suæ.

This is the law of One Separate what he shall vow, his offering unto Yahweh with respect to his separation, besides what his hand may obtain: as required by the vow that he shall vow, so, must he do, with respect to the law of his separation.

22 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

23 Loquere Aaron et filiis ejus: Sic benedicetis filiis Israël, et dicetis eis:

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons saying Thus, shall ye bless the sons of Israel, —saying unto them:

24 Benedicat tibi Dominus, et custodiat te.

Yahweh bless thee, and keep thee:

25 Ostendat Dominus faciem suam tibi, et misereatur tui.

Yahweh cause his face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee:

26 Convertat Dominus vultum suum ad te, et det tibi pacem.

Yahweh lift up his face unto thee, and appoint unto thee peace.

27 Invocabuntque nomen meum super filios Israël, et ego benedicam eis.

Thus shall they put my name upon the sons of Israel, —and, I, myself, will bless them.
