Good News Translation
9 If your consecrated hair is defiled because you are right beside someone who suddenly dies, you must wait seven days and then shave your head; and so you become ritually clean. 10 On the eighth day you shall bring two doves or two pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence. 11 The priest shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, to perform the ritual of purification for you because of your contact with a corpse. On the same day you shall reconsecrate your hair

New International Version
9 “‘If someone dies suddenly in the Nazirite’s presence, thus defiling the hair that symbolizes their dedication,(A) they must shave their head on the seventh day—the day of their cleansing.(B) 10 Then on the eighth day(C) they must bring two doves or two young pigeons(D) to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting.(E) 11 The priest is to offer one as a sin offering[a](F) and the other as a burnt offering(G) to make atonement(H) 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.
