The Nazirite
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man or woman wants to make a special vow, a vow of dedication to the Lord as a Nazirite, 3they must abstain from wine and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar made from wine or other fermented drink. They must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins. 4As long as they remain under their Nazirite vow, they must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.
5“ ‘During the entire period of their Nazirite vow, no razor may be used on their head. They must be holy until the period of their dedication to the Lord is over; they must let their hair grow long.
6“ ‘Throughout the period of their dedication to the Lord, the Nazirite must not go near a dead body. 7Even if their own father or mother or brother or sister dies, they must not make themselves ceremonially unclean on account of them, because the symbol of their dedication to God is on their head. 8Throughout the period of their dedication, they are consecrated to the Lord.
9“ ‘If someone dies suddenly in the Nazirite’s presence, thus defiling the hair that symbolizes their dedication, they must shave their head on the seventh day—the day of their cleansing. 10Then on the eighth day they must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 11The priest is to offer one as a sin offering6:11 Or purification offering; also in verses 14 and 16 and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for the Nazirite because they sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. That same day they are to consecrate their head again. 12They must rededicate themselves to the Lord for the same period of dedication and must bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days do not count, because they became defiled during their period of dedication.
13“ ‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite when the period of their dedication is over. They are to be brought to the entrance to the tent of meeting. 14There they are to present their offerings to the Lord: a year-old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering, a year-old ewe lamb without defect for a sin offering, a ram without defect for a fellowship offering, 15together with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and a basket of bread made with the finest flour and without yeast—thick loaves with olive oil mixed in, and thin loaves brushed with olive oil.
16“ ‘The priest is to present all these before the Lord and make the sin offering and the burnt offering. 17He is to present the basket of unleavened bread and is to sacrifice the ram as a fellowship offering to the Lord, together with its grain offering and drink offering.
18“ ‘Then at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the Nazirite must shave off the hair that symbolizes their dedication. They are to take the hair and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering.
19“ ‘After the Nazirite has shaved off the hair that symbolizes their dedication, the priest is to place in their hands a boiled shoulder of the ram, and one thick loaf and one thin loaf from the basket, both made without yeast. 20The priest shall then wave these before the Lord as a wave offering; they are holy and belong to the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.
21“ ‘This is the law of the Nazirite who vows offerings to the Lord in accordance with their dedication, in addition to whatever else they can afford. They must fulfill the vows they have made, according to the law of the Nazirite.’ ”
The Priestly Blessing
22The Lord said to Moses, 23“Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:
24“ ‘ “The Lord bless you
and keep you;
25the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
26the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” ’
27“So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
Etteeka ery’Obweyamo obw’Omunnazaalayiti
1Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, 26:2 a Lub 28:20; Bik 21:23 b Bal 13:5; 16:17; Am 2:11, 12“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, Omusajja oba omukazi bw’anaabanga ayagala okukola obweyamo obw’enjawulo obutali bwa bulijjo ne yeetukuza ne yeeyawula eri Mukama ng’Omunazaalayiti6:2 Omunazaalayiti Omuntu yasobolanga okuba Omunazaalayiti okumala ennaku amakumi asatu oba obulamu bwe bwonna. Kyalinga kya kyenneyagalire, kyokka oluusi abazadde b’omwana bebeeyamanga ku lw’abaana baabwe abato, abaana ne bafuuka Abanazaalayiti obulamu bwabwe bwonna. Obweyamo bwalimu ebintu bisatu: obutakomba ku nvinnyo wadde ekintu kyonna ekitamiiza; enviiri ze tezaasalibwangako, wadde ekirevu kye okumwebwa; teyakwatanga ku mulambo, 36:3 a Luk 1:15 b Lus 2:14; Zab 69:21; Nge 10:26anaateekwanga obutanywa nvinnyo n’ekyokunywa ekirala kyonna ekitamiiza, era taanywenga nvinnyo wadde ekitamiiza ekirala kyonna ekikaatuuse. Era taalyenga ku bibala bya mizabbibu wadde ensigo zaabyo. 4Ebbanga lyonna ly’anaamalanga nga Munnazaalayiti taalyenga ku kintu kyonna ekiva mu mizabbibu newaakubadde ensigo wadde ebikuta.

Ku lunaku olwo lwe lumu, kw’anaatukulizangako omutwe gwe. 12Aneewangayo eri Mukama Katonda okumala ebbanga lyonna ery’obweyamo bwe obw’okweyawula, era anaaleetanga omwana gw’endiga omulume n’aguwaayo ng’ekiweebwayo olw’okusingibwa omusango. Ennaku ezaasooka teziibalibwenga kubanga yafuuka atali mulongoofu mu bbanga ery’obweyamo bwe obw’okweyawula.
136:13 Bik 21:26“Lino ly’etteeka erinaakwatanga ku Munnazaalayiti ebbanga lye ery’obweyamo obw’okweyawula bwe linaggwangako.

16“Kabona anaabireetanga awali Mukama Katonda, n’awaayo ekiweebwayo kye olw’ekibi n’ekiweebwayo kye ekyokebwa. 17Anaawangayo endiga ennume nga ssaddaaka ey’ekiweebwayo olw’emirembe eri Mukama Katonda awamu n’ekibbo ky’emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse; era kabona anaawangayo ekiweebwayo eky’emmere y’empeke n’ekiweebwayo eky’ebyokunywa.

21“Eryo lye tteeka ery’Omunnazaalayiti aneeyamanga okwewaayo eri Mukama Katonda ng’obweyamo bwe obw’okweyawula bwe bunaabanga, ng’agasseeko n’ebirala nga bw’anaasobolanga. Anaateekwanga okutuukiriza obweyamo bwe bwanaabanga akoze, ng’etteeka ly’Omunnazaalayiti bwe liragira.”
Omukisa gwa Kabona
22Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, 236:23 Ma 21:5; 1By 23:13“Tegeeza Alooni ne batabani be nti, Bwe muti bwe munaasabiranga abaana ba Isirayiri omukisa: munaabagambanga nti:
