Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Tuntunin sa Pagtatalaga Bilang Nazareo
6 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, 2 “Sabihin mo sa bayang Israel: Kung ang sinuman, babae o lalaki, ay gagawa ng panata at ilalaan niya ang sarili kay Yahweh bilang Nazareo, 3 huwag(A) siyang iinom ng alak o anumang inuming nakakalasing. Huwag din siyang iinom ng anumang inuming galing sa katas ng ubas, at huwag kakain ng ubas, o pasas. 4 Sa buong panahon ng kanyang panata ay huwag din siyang titikim ng anumang galing sa punong ubas kahit balat o buto ng ubas.
5 “Ang isang may panata ay huwag magpaputol ng buhok sa buong panahon ng kanyang panata; hahayaan niya itong humaba. Siya'y nakalaan para kay Yahweh. 6 Sa buong panahon na inilaan niya ang kanyang sarili kay Yahweh ay hindi siya dapat lumapit sa patay, 7 kahit ito'y kanyang ama, ina o kapatid. Hindi siya dapat gumawa ng anumang makapagpaparumi ayon sa Kautusan, sapagkat ipinapakita ng kanyang buhok na siya'y isang Nazareo. 8 Pananatilihin niyang malinis ang kanyang sarili sa buong panahon ng kanyang panata.
9 “Kung may biglang mamatay sa kanyang tabi at mahawakan niya ito, pagkalipas ng pitong araw ay aahitin niya ang kanyang buhok sapagkat nadungisan siya ayon sa Kautusan. 10 Sa ikawalong araw, magbibigay siya sa pari ng dalawang inakay ng kalapati o batu-bato sa pintuan ng Toldang Tipanan. 11 Ang isa nito ay handog ukol sa kasalanan at ang isa'y handog na susunugin, bilang katubusan sa naging kasalanan niya sa pagkakahawak sa bangkay. Sa araw ring iyon, muli niyang ilalaan sa Diyos ang kanyang buhok. 12 Ito ang pasimula na siya'y muling inilaan kay Yahweh bilang Nazareo. Ang mga araw na nagdaan sa panahon ng panatang iyon ay hindi ibibilang sapagkat nadungisan siya nang makahawak sa patay at mag-aalay siya ng isang kordero na isang taóng gulang bilang handog na pambayad sa kasalanan.
13 “Ito(B) naman ang gagawin pagkatapos ng kanyang panata bilang Nazareo. Haharap siya sa pintuan ng Toldang Tipanan 14 at maghahandog ng tatlong tupa: isang lalaking tupa na isang taóng gulang at walang kapintasan bilang handog na susunugin; isang babaing tupa na isa ring taóng gulang at walang kapintasan bilang handog para sa kapatawaran ng kasalanan; at isang barakong tupa na walang kapintasan bilang handog na pangkapayapaan. 15 Bukod dito, maghahandog siya ng isang basket na tinapay na walang pampaalsa at hinaluan ng langis, at manipis na tinapay na wala ring pampaalsa at may pahid na langis. Magdadala rin siya ng mga handog na pagkaing butil at inumin.
16 “Ang lahat ng ito'y dadalhin naman ng pari sa harapan ni Yahweh at iaalay ang handog para sa kapatawaran ng kasalanan at handog na susunugin. 17 Ang handog pangkapayapaan ay ihahandog niyang kasama ng basket ng tinapay na walang pampaalsa, saka isusunod ang handog na pagkaing butil at inumin. 18 Pagkatapos, aahitin ng Nazareo ang kanyang buhok at susunugin sa apoy na pinagsusunugan ng handog pangkapayapaan.
19 “Kukunin naman ng pari ang nilagang balikat ng handog pangkapayapaan, sasamahan ng isang tinapay na walang pampaalsa at isang manipis na tinapay at ilalagay sa kamay ng Nazareo. 20 Kukunin niyang muli ang mga ito at iaalay kay Yahweh. Mapupunta ang mga ito sa pari, pati ang pitso at ang hita ng handog pangkapayapaan. Pagkatapos nito, ang Nazareo ay maaari nang uminom ng alak.
21 “Ito ang tuntunin tungkol sa panata ng Nazareo. Ngunit kung nangako siya ng iba pang bagay bukod rito, kailangang tuparin din niya iyon.”
Ang Pagbebendisyon ng mga Pari
22 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, 23 “Sabihin mo kay Aaron at sa kanyang mga anak na ang mga salitang ito ang bibigkasin nila sa pagbabasbas nila sa mga Israelita:
24 Pagpalain ka nawa at ingatan ni Yahweh;
25 kahabagan ka nawa at subaybayan ni Yahweh;
26 lingapin ka nawa at bigyan ng kapayapaan ni Yahweh.
27 “Ganito nila babanggitin ang pangalan ko sa pagbabasbas sa mga Israelita at tiyak ngang pagpapalain ko sila.”
Numbers 6
New King James Version
The Law of the Nazirite
6 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When either a man or woman [a]consecrates an offering to take the vow of a Nazirite, (A)to separate himself to the Lord, 3 (B)he shall separate himself from wine and similar drink; he shall drink neither vinegar made from wine nor vinegar made from similar drink; neither shall he drink any grape juice, nor eat fresh grapes or raisins. 4 All the days of his [b]separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, from seed to skin.
5 ‘All the days of the vow of his separation no (C)razor shall come upon his head; until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the Lord, he shall be holy. Then he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. 6 All the days that he separates himself to the Lord (D)he shall not go near a dead body. 7 (E)He shall not [c]make himself unclean even for his father or his mother, for his brother or his sister, when they die, because his separation to God is on his head. 8 (F)All the days of his separation he shall be holy to the Lord.
9 ‘And if anyone dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall (G)shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it. 10 Then (H)on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting; 11 and the priest shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned in regard to the corpse; and he shall sanctify his head that same day. 12 He shall consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation, and bring a male lamb in its first year (I)as a trespass offering; but the former days shall be [d]lost, because his separation was defiled.
13 ‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite: (J)When the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 14 And he shall present his offering to the Lord: one male lamb in its first year without blemish as a burnt offering, one ewe lamb in its first year without blemish (K)as a sin offering, one ram without blemish (L)as a peace offering, 15 a basket of unleavened bread, (M)cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, unleavened wafers (N)anointed with oil, and their grain offering with their (O)drink offerings.
16 ‘Then the priest shall bring them before the Lord and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering; 17 and he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall also offer its grain offering and its drink offering. 18 (P)Then the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and shall take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offering.
19 ‘And the priest shall take the (Q)boiled shoulder of the ram, one (R)unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and (S)put them upon the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated hair, 20 and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord; (T)they are holy for the priest, together with the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering. After that the Nazirite may drink wine.’
21 “This is the law of the Nazirite who vows to the Lord the offering for his separation, and besides that, whatever else his hand is able to provide; according to the vow which he takes, so he must do according to the law of his separation.”
The Priestly Blessing
22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:
24 “The Lord (U)bless you and (V)keep you;
25 The Lord (W)make His face shine upon you,
And (X)be gracious to you;
26 (Y)The Lord [e]lift up His countenance upon you,
And (Z)give you peace.” ’
27 (AA)“So they shall [f]put My name on the children of Israel, and (AB)I will bless them.”

The Nazirite Vow
6 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of (A)a Nazirite,[a] (B)to separate himself to the Lord, 3 he (C)shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried. 4 All the days of his separation[b] he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins.
5 “All the days of his vow of separation, no (D)razor shall touch his head. Until the time is completed for which he separates himself to the Lord, he shall be holy. (E)He shall let the locks of hair of his head grow long.
6 “All the days that he separates himself to the Lord (F)he shall not go near a dead body. 7 (G)Not even for his father or for his mother, for brother or sister, if they die, shall he make himself unclean, because his separation to God is on his head. 8 All the days of his separation he is holy to the Lord.
9 “And if any man dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his consecrated head, then (H)he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it. 10 (I)On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two pigeons to the priest to the entrance of the tent of meeting, 11 and the 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 body. And he shall consecrate his head that same day 12 and separate himself to the Lord for the days of his separation and bring a male lamb a year old (J)for a guilt offering. But the previous period shall be void, because his separation was defiled.
13 “And this is the law for the Nazirite, (K)when the time of his separation has been completed: he shall be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting, 14 and he shall bring his gift to the Lord, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish (L)as a sin offering, and one ram without blemish (M)as a peace offering, 15 and a basket of unleavened bread, (N)loaves of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers smeared with oil, and their (O)grain offering and their (P)drink offerings. 16 And the priest shall bring them before the Lord and offer (Q)his sin offering and his burnt offering, 17 and he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of peace offering to the Lord, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer also its grain offering and its drink offering. 18 And the Nazirite (R)shall shave his consecrated head at the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire that is under the sacrifice of the peace offering. 19 And the priest shall take the (S)shoulder of the ram, when it is boiled, and one unleavened loaf out of the basket and one unleavened wafer, and (T)shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the hair of his consecration, 20 and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord. (U)They are a holy portion for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is contributed. And after that the Nazirite may drink wine.
21 “This is the law of the Nazirite. But if he vows an offering to the Lord above his Nazirite vow, as he can afford, in exact accordance with the vow that he takes, then he shall do in addition to the law of the Nazirite.”
Aaron's Blessing
22 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus (V)you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them,
24 The Lord (W)bless you and (X)keep you;
25 the Lord (Y)make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord (Z)lift up his countenance[c] upon you and give you peace.
27 (AA)“So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.”
