4 Mosebok 6
1 Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
2 Tala till Israels barn, och säg till dem: Om en man eller qvinna gör Herranom ett besynnerligt löfte till återhåll;
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If any of you [wants to] make a solemn promise to dedicate himself to belong to me in a special way, [after you obey these instructions], you will be called a Nazir-man, [which means “dedicated man”].
3 Han skall hålla sig ifrå vin och starka drycker; vinättiko och starka dryckers ättiko skall han ock icke dricka, ej heller det af vinbär gjordt varder; han skall hvarken färsk eller torr vinbär äta.
You must not drink any wine or other alcoholic/fermented drink. You must not drink any vinegar made from wine or from any other alcoholic/fermented drink. You must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.
4 Så länge som hans löfte varar, skall han icke äta det af vinträ gjordt är, hvarken vinbärskärnarna eller skalena.
You must not eat anything that comes from grapevines, not even the skins or seeds of grapes, during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
5 Så länge hans löftes tid varar, skall icke rakoknif komma på hans hufvud, tilldess tiden är ute, den han Herranom lofvat hafver; ty han är helig, och skall låta fri växa håret på sitt hufvud.
‘Even your hair will be dedicated to me during the time that you area Nazir-man, so you must never allow anyone to cut your hair. Until the time that your solemn promise to dedicate yourself to me is ended, you must allow your hair to grow long.
6 I hela tidenom, den han Herranom lofvat hafver, skall han till ingen dödan gå.
And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
7 Han skall ej heller orena sig på sins faders död, sine moders, sins broders, eller sine systers; förty hans Guds löfte är öfver hans hufvud.
Even if the person who died is your father or your mother or your brother or your sister, you must not cause yourself to become unacceptable to me [by coming close to the corpse]. Your long hair [MTY] shows that you belong to me in a special way, so you must not cut your hair.
8 Och i hela hans löftes tid skall han vara Herranom helig.
You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
9 Och om någor oförvarandes bråddör när honom, då varder hans löftes hufvud orent. Derföre skall han raka sitt hufvud på hans renselsedag, det är, på sjunde dagen.
‘If anyone dies very suddenly when he is near you, then your hair that you have dedicated to me is no longer sacred. So you must wait seven days and then shave it all off. Then you must perform a special ritual to cause yourself to become acceptable to me again.
10 Och på åttonde dagen skall han bära fram två turturdufvor, eller två unga dufvor, till Presten inför dörrena af vittnesbördsens tabernakel.
The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
11 Och Presten skall göra den ena till ett syndoffer, den andra till ett bränneoffer, och försona honom, derföre att han syndade öfver en dödan; och alltså på samma dagenom helga hans hufvud;
‘The priest must [kill the birds and] offer them as sacrifices. One of them will be an offering to enable me to forgive you for the sins you have committed, and the other will be an offering that is burned completely to please me. [After the priest burns them on the altar], I will forgive you for having come close to a corpse, and [when] your hair [grows again it] will be dedicated to me again.
12 Att han skall uthålla Herranom tiden till sitt löfte; och skall bära fram ett årsgammalt lamb till ett skuldoffer. Dock skola de förra dagarna vara förgäfves, derföre att hans löfte vardt orenadt.
The amount of time that you were set apart for me the previous time does not count, because you had become unacceptable to me [by coming close to a corpse] during the time that you were a Nazir-man. So you must again make a solemn promise to dedicate yourself to me for the entire amount of time that you indicated the previous time. And you must also sacrifice a one-year-old lamb for not doing what you were required to do.
13 Detta är hans lag, som sig förlofvat hafver: När hans löftes tid ute är, skall man hafva honom fram för dörrena af vittnesbördsens tabernakel.
‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
14 Och han skall bära fram sitt offer Herranom, ett årsgammalt lamb utan vank till bränneoffer, och ett årsgammalt får utan vank till syndoffer; och en vädur utan vank till tackoffer;
and offer as sacrifices to me three animals that have no defects: Offer a one-year-old ram that will be burned completely, a one-year-old female lamb as a sacrifice to enable me to forgive your sins, and one full-grown ram as a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
15 Och en korg med osyrade kakor af semlomjöl, blandadt med oljo, och osyrade tunnkakor, smorda med oljo, och deras spisoffer och drickoffer.
‘When you bring those animals, you must also bring some wine to offer as a sacrifice. And you must also bring a basket of bread that you have made with very good flour and [olive] oil. But you must not put any yeast in the bread. Also brush/spread some [olive] oil on some thin wafers and bring them to the priest.
16 Och Presten skall bära det in för Herran, och skall göra hans syndoffer, och hans bränneoffer.
‘The priest will put the young lamb and the young ram on the altar and completely burn them, in order that I will be pleased and will forgive you for your sins.
17 Och väduren skall han göra till ett tackoffer Herranom till den osyrade brödkorgen; och skall desslikes göra hans spisoffer, och hans drickoffer;
Then he will kill the full-grown ram as an offering to restore fellowship with me, and he will also burn on the altar some of the bread and the grain and wine.
18 Och skall raka dens förlofvades löftes hufvud inför dörrene af vittnesbördsens tabernakel; och skall taga hans löftes hufvudhår, och kasta det på elden, som under tackoffrena är;
‘After that, you must [stand at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent and shave off your hair. Then you must put that hair in the fire that is under the [animal that has been sacrificed] on the altar to maintain fellowship with me.
19 Och skall taga bogen af väduren sudnan, och en osyrad kako utu korgenom, och en osyrad tunnkako; och skall läggat dem förlofvade på hans händer, sedan han hans löfte afrakat hafver;
‘The meat from the ram’s shoulder must be boiled. After it is cooked, the priest will take it along with one of the loaves of bread and one wafer which has been brushed with [olive] oil, and he will put them in your hands.
20 Och skall veftoffra det för Herranom. Det är heligt Prestenom, samt med veftoffersbröstena, och häfoffersbogenom. Sedan må den förlofvade dricka vin.
Then the priest will [take them back and] lift them up high to dedicate them to me. They now belong to the priest, and he is permitted to eat some of the meat from the ram’s shoulder and from its ribs and from one of its thighs, because that meat is his share of the sacrifice. After that, you will no longer be a Nazir-man, and you will again be permitted to drink wine.
21 Detta är dens förlofvades lag, som sitt offer lofvar Herranom för sitt löfte, förutan det han eljest förmår. Såsom han lofvat hafver, så skall han ock göra, efter hans löftes lag.
‘Those are the regulations about the offerings that Nazir-men solemnly promise to bring to me to end their time of being dedicated to me. They must bring these offerings, but if they want to, they may bring additional offerings. And they must do everything that they solemnly promised to do when they dedicated themselves to me.’”
22 Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 Tala till Aaron och hans söner, och säg: Så skolen I säga till Israels barn, när I välsignen dem:
“Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
24 Herren välsigne dig, och bevare dig.
‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
25 Herren låte sitt ansigte lysa öfver dig, och vare dig nådelig.
and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
26 Herren upplyfte sitt ansigte öfver dig, och gifve dig frid.
and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
27 Ty I skolen sätta mitt Namn uppå Israels barn, att jag skall välsigna dem.
Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
