אֲבָל הַסְּכָכוֹת, וְהַפְּרָעוֹת, וּבֵית הַפְּרָס, וְאֶרֶץ הָעַמִּים, וְהַגּוֹלֵל, וְהַדּוֹפֵק, וּרְבִיעִית דָּם, וְאֹהֶל, וְרֹבַע עֲצָמוֹת, וְכֵלִים הַנּוֹגְעִים בְּמֵת, וִימֵי סָפְרוֹ, וִימֵי גָמְרוֹ, עַל אֵלּוּ אֵין הַנָּזִיר מְגַלֵּחַ, וּמַזֶּה בַּשְּׁלִישִׁי וּבַשְּׁבִיעִי, וְאֵינוֹ סוֹתֵר אֶת הַקּוֹדְמִין, וּמַתְחִיל וּמוֹנֶה מִיָּד, וְקָרְבָּן אֵין לוֹ. בֶּאֱמֶת אָמְרוּ, יְמֵי הַזָּב וְהַזָּבָה וִימֵי הֶסְגֵּרוֹ שֶׁל מְצֹרָע, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ עוֹלִין לוֹ:

But sechachoth [(a tree with separate boughs) — If there were an olive-size of the dead under one of them, and a Nazirite passed by, it not being known whether he passed under the bough "tending" the dead], protrusions, [stones or (pieces of) wood protruding from a wall, and uncleanliness (lying) under one of them], beth hapras, [A field in which a grave was plowed up makes a beth hapras of a hundred cubits, this being estimated to be the distance that the plow carries a bone], "the land of the peoples," [the sages having decreed uncleanliness on "the lands of the peoples"], the golel [the cover of the casket], the dofek [the casket itself, on which the covering "knocks" (dofek)], a quarter (of a log) of blood, [(Even for carrying or for touching it, the Nazirite does not shave)], "tenting" over a quarter of bones [(If he tented over a quarter of a kav of bones from the dead, he does not shave — until he "tents" over half a kav. But for touching and carrying a quarter of bones, he does shave, even if they were crushed and not one of them were the size of a barley-corn)], and vessels which touched the dead, [which cause uncleanliness as the dead body itself; and one who touches them becomes unclean for seven days], and the days of his [a leper's] counting [after having been cleansed of his leprosy, viz. (Leviticus 14:8): "And he shall sit outside his tent for seven days"], and the days of his [the leper's] confirmation — For these [all of these mentioned in our Mishnah], the Nazirite does not shave. He sprinkles on the third and seventh days [(This does not refer to "the days of his counting" and "the days of his confirmation," sprinkling on the third and seventh not being applicable to these)], and he does not offset the previous days, and he begins counting immediately [All of these (days of uncleanliness) mentioned above are not counted with the days of his Naziritism, and do not offset it, but he cleanses himself after the sprinkling of the third and the seventh if he became unclean by the dead, or after completing the days of his confirmation and of his counting if he became leprous. He completes his Naziritism of the days already counted before he became unclean ], and he does not bring an offering [of uncleanliness.] In truth, it was said: The days of a zav and a zavah, [all the days of their uncleanliness, and the days of their counting seven clean days] and the days of the closeting of a (suspected) leper [viz. (Leviticus 13:4): "And the Cohein shall quarantine the plague-spot seven days"] are counted for him [towards the days of his Naziritism. And it goes without saying that they do not offset the previous days.]
