¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

²“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to Yahweh,

²Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Når en Mand eller Kvinde vil aflægge et Nasiræerløfte for således at indvie sig til HERREN,

³he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of fermented drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.

³skal han afholde sig fra Vin og stærk Drik; Vineddike og stærk Drik må han ikke drikke, ej heller nogen som helst drik af Druer; han må hverken spise friske eller tørrede Druer;

⁴All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins.

⁴så længe hans Indvielse varer, må han intet som helst nyde, der kommer af Vinstokken, hverken umodne Druer eller friske Skud.

⁵“‘All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself to Yahweh. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.

⁵Så længe hans Indvielsesløfte gælder, må ingen Ragekniv komme på hans Hoved; indtil Udløbet af den Tid han indvier sig til HERREN, skal han være hellig og lade sit Hovedhår vokse frit.

⁶“‘All the days that he separates himself to Yahweh he shall not go near a dead body.

⁶Hele den Tid han har indviet sig til HERREN, må han ikke komme Lig nær;

⁷He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because his separation to God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” is on his head.

⁷selv når hans Fader eller Moder, hans Broder eller Søster dør, må han ikke pådrage sig Urenhed ved dem, thi han bærer sin Guds indvielse på sit Hoved.

⁸All the days of his separation he is holy to Yahweh.

⁸Så længe hans Indvielse varer, er han helliget HERREN.

⁹“‘If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it.

⁹Men når nogen uventet og pludselig dør i hans Nærhed, og han således bringer Urenhed over sit indviede Hoved, skal han rage sit Hoved, den Dag han atter bliver ren; den syvende Dag skal han rage det;

¹⁰On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.

¹⁰og den ottende Dag skal han bringe to Turtelduer eller Dueunger til Præsten ved Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang.

¹¹The priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall make his head holy that same day.

¹¹Og Præsten skal ofre den ene som Syndoffer og den anden som Brændoffer og skaffe ham Soning, fordi han har syndet ved at røre ved Lig. Derpå skal han samme Dag atter hellige sit Hoved

¹²He shall separate to Yahweh the days of his separation, and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.

¹²og atter indvie sig til HERREN for lige så lang Tid, som han før havde indviet sig, og bringe et årgammelt Lam som Skyldoffer; den forløbne Tid regnes ikke med, da han har bragt Urenhed over sit indviede Hoved.

¹³“‘This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the Tent of Meeting,

¹³Dette er Loven om Nasiræeren: Når hans indvielsestid er til Ende, skal han begive sig til Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang

¹⁴and he shall offer his offering to Yahweh, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,

¹⁴og som Offergave bringe HERREN et årgammelt, lydefrit Væderlam til Brændoffer, et årgammelt, lydefrit Hunlam til Syndoffer og en lydefri Væder til Takoffer,

¹⁵and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings.

¹⁵en Kurv med usyret Bagværk, Kager af fint Hvedemel, rørte i Olie, og usyrede Fladbrød, smurte med Olie, desuden det tilhørende Afgrødeoffer og de tilhørende Drikofre.

¹⁶The priest shall present them before Yahweh, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering.

¹⁶Så skal Præsten bringe det for HERRENs Åsyn og ofre hans Syndoffer og Brændoffer,

¹⁷He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer also its meal offering, and its drink offering.

¹⁷og Væderen skal han ofre som Takoffer til HERREN tillige med de usyrede Brød i Kurven; derpå skal Præsten ofre hans Afgrødeoffer og Drikofer.

¹⁸The Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace offerings.

¹⁸Så skal Nasiræeren ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet rage sit indviede Hoved og tage sit indviede Hovedhår og kaste det i Ilden under Takofferet.

¹⁹The 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 on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the head of his separation;

¹⁹Og Præsten skal tage den kogte Bov af Væderen og een usyret Kage og eet usyret Fladbrød af Kurven og lægge dem på Nasiræerens Hænder, efter at han har afraget sit indviede Hovedhår.

²⁰and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh. This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite may drink wine.

²⁰Og Præsten skal udføre Svingningen dermed for HERRENs Åsyn; det tilfalder Præsten som Helliggave foruden Svingningsbrystet og Offerydelseskøllen. Derefter må Nasiræeren atter drikke Vin.

²¹“‘This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his offering to Yahweh for his separation, besides that which he is able to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law of his separation.’”

²¹Det er Loven om Nasiræeren, der aflægger Løfte, om hans Offergave til HERREN i Anledning af Indvielsen, foruden hvad han ellers evner at give; overensstemmende med Løftet, han aflægger, skal han forholde sig efter den for hans Indvielse gældende Lov.

²²Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²²HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

²³“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is how you shall bless the children of Israel.’ You shall tell them,

²³Tal til Aron og hans Sønner og sig: Når I velsigner Israeliterne, skal I sige til dem:

²⁴HERREN velsigne dig og bevare dig,

²⁵Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you.

²⁵HERREN lade sit Ansigt lyse over dig og være dig nådig,

²⁶Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.’

²⁶HERREN løfte sit Åsyn på dig og give dig Fred!

²⁷“So they shall put my name on the children of Israel; and I will bless them.”

²⁷Således skal de lægge mit Navn på Israeliterne, og jeg vil velsigne dem.
