Liber Numeri 6

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

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

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If a man or a woman have vowed the special vow of a Nazarite, to consecrate themselves to Jehovah;

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

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

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 shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine, from the seed-stones, even to the skin.

5 Omni tempore separationis suae novacula non transibit per caput eius usque ad completum diem, quo Domino consecratur. Sanctus erit, crescente caesarie capitis eius.

All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head; until the days be fulfilled, that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.

6 Omni tempore consecrationis suae super mortuum non ingredietur,

All the days that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he shall come near no dead body.

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

He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister when they die; for the consecration of his God is upon his head.

8 Omnibus diebus separationis suae sanctus erit Domino.

All the days of his separation he is holy to Jehovah.

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

And if any one die unexpectedly by him suddenly, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day shall he shave it.

10 in octava autem die offeret duos turtures, vel duos pullos columbae sacerdoti in introitu foederis testimonii.

And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, at 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 eius in die illo:

And the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead person; and he shall hallow his head that same day.

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

And he shall [again] consecrate to Jehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a yearling lamb for a trespass-offering. But the first days are forfeited, for his consecration hath been defiled.

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

And this is the law of the Nazarite on the day when the days of his consecration are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting.

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

And he shall present his offering to Jehovah, one yearling he-lamb without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one yearling ewe-lamb without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish 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 with unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their oblation, and their drink-offerings.

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

And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering and his burnt-offering:

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

and he shall offer the ram, a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall offer also his oblation and his drink-offering.

18 Tunc radetur nazaraeus ante ostium tabernaculi foederis caesarie consecrationis suae: tolletque capillos eius, et ponet super ignem, qui est suppositus sacrificio pacificorum.

And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his consecration at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his consecration, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace-offering.

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

And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after he hath shaven [the hair of] his consecration.

20 Susceptaque rursum ab eo, elevabit in conspectu Domini: et sanctificata sacerdotis erunt, sicut pectusculum, quod separari iussum est, et femur. post haec, potest bibere nazaraeus vinum.

And the priest shall wave them as wave-offering before Jehovah; it is holy for the priest, with the breast of the wave-offering and with the shoulder of the heave-offering; and afterwards the Nazarite may drink wine.

21 Ista est lex nazaraei, cum voverit oblationem suam Domino tempore consecrationis suae, exceptis his, quae invenerit manus eius. iuxta quod mente devoverat, ita faciet ad perfectionem sanctificationis suae.

This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed: his offering to Jehovah for his consecration, beside what his hand is able to get; according to the vow which he vowed, so shall he do, according to the law of his consecration.

22 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

23 Loquere Aaron et filiis eius: Sic benedicetis filiis Israel, et dicetis eis:

Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: saying unto them,

24 Benedicat tibi Dominus, et custodiat te.

Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee;

25 Ostendat Dominus faciem suam tibi, et misereatur tui.

Jehovah make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee;

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

Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

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

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
