Numbers 6
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
L’Éternel parla à Moïse, et dit:
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: A man or a woman, when they have made a vow so that they may be sanctified, and when they are willing to consecrate themselves to the Lord,
Parle aux enfants d’Israël, et tu leur diras: Lorsqu’un homme ou une femme se séparera des autres en faisant vœu de naziréat, pour se consacrer à l’Éternel,
3 shall abstain from wine and from anything which is able to inebriate. They shall not drink vinegar made from wine or from any other drink, nor anything pressed from the grape. They shall not eat grapes, neither fresh nor dried.
il s’abstiendra de vin et de boisson enivrante; il ne boira ni vinaigre fait avec du vin, ni vinaigre fait avec une boisson enivrante; il ne boira d’aucune liqueur tirée des raisins, et il ne mangera point de raisins frais ni de raisins secs.
4 During all the days that they are consecrated to the Lord by vow, they shall not eat whatever may be from the vineyard, from raisins, even to grape seeds.
Pendant tout le temps de son naziréat, il ne mangera rien de ce qui provient de la vigne, depuis les pépins jusqu’à la peau du raisin.
5 During all the time of his separation, no razor shall pass over his head, even until the completion of the day when he is consecrated to the Lord. He shall be holy, letting the hair of his head grow long.
Pendant tout le temps de son naziréat, le rasoir ne passera point sur sa tête; jusqu’à l’accomplissement des jours pour lesquels il s’est consacré à l’Éternel, il sera saint, il laissera croître librement ses cheveux.
6 During all the time of his consecration, he shall not enter because of a death,
Pendant tout le temps qu’il a voué à l’Éternel, il ne s’approchera point d’une personne morte;
7 nor shall he contaminate himself, even over the funeral of his father, or his mother, or his brother, or his sister. For the consecration of his God is upon his head.
il ne se souillera point à la mort de son père, de sa mère, de son frère ou de sa sœur, car il porte sur sa tête la consécration de son Dieu.
8 During all the days of his separation, he shall be holy to the Lord.
Pendant tout le temps de son naziréat, il sera consacré à l’Éternel.
9 But if anyone will have died unexpectedly before him, the head of his consecration shall be polluted, and he shall shave it in that very place, on the same day of his purification, and again on the seventh day.
Si quelqu’un meurt subitement près de lui, et que sa tête consacrée devienne ainsi souillée, il se rasera la tête le jour de sa purification, il se la rasera le septième jour.
10 Then, on the eighth day, he shall offer two turtledoves or two young pigeons, to the priest at the entrance to the covenant of the testimony.
Le huitième jour, il apportera au sacrificateur deux tourterelles ou deux jeunes pigeons, à l’entrée de la tente d’assignation.
11 And the priest shall effect one for sin, and the other as a holocaust, and he shall pray for him, because he has sinned on account of the dead. And he shall sanctify his head on that day.
Le sacrificateur sacrifiera l’un comme victime expiatoire, et l’autre comme holocauste, et il fera pour lui l’expiation de son péché à l’occasion du mort. Le naziréen sanctifiera ainsi sa tête ce jour-là
12 And he shall consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation, offering a one-year-old lamb for sin, yet in such a manner that the former days will be made null and void, because his sanctification was polluted.
Il consacrera de nouveau à l’Éternel les jours de son naziréat, et il offrira un agneau d’un an en sacrifice de culpabilité; les jours précédents ne seront point comptés, parce que son naziréat a été souillé.
13 This is the law of consecration. When the days that he had decreed by vow have been completed, he shall bring him to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant,
Voici la loi du naziréen. Le jour où il aura accompli le temps de son naziréat, on le fera venir à l’entrée de la tente d’assignation.
14 and he shall offer his oblation to the Lord: an immaculate one-year-old male lamb as a holocaust, and an immaculate one-year-old female lamb for sin, and an immaculate ram, a peace-offering victim,
Il présentera son offrande à l’Éternel: un agneau d’un an et sans défaut pour l’holocauste, une brebis d’un an et sans défaut pour le sacrifice d’expiation, et un bélier sans défaut pour le sacrifice d’actions de grâces;
15 also, a basket of unleavened bread, which has been sprinkled with oil, and cakes without leaven, anointed with oil, as well as the libations of each one.
une corbeille de pains sans levain, de gâteaux de fleur de farine pétris à l’huile, et de galettes sans levain arrosées d’huile, avec l’offrande et la libation ordinaires.
16 And the priest shall offer them before the Lord, and he shall perform both the sin offering and the holocaust.
Le sacrificateur présentera ces choses devant l’Éternel, et il offrira sa victime expiatoire et son holocauste;
17 Yet truly, the ram he shall immolate as a peace-offering victim to the Lord, offering at the same time the basket of unleavened bread, and the libations which are required by custom.
il offrira le bélier en sacrifice d’actions de grâces à l’Éternel, outre la corbeille de pains sans levain, avec l’offrande et la libation.
18 Then the Nazarite shall be shaved of the long hair of his consecration, before the door of the tabernacle of the covenant. And he shall take his hair, and he shall place it upon the fire, which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
Le naziréen rasera, à l’entrée de la tente d’assignation, sa tête consacrée; il prendra les cheveux de sa tête consacrée, et il les mettra sur le feu qui est sous le sacrifice d’actions de grâces.
19 And he shall take the cooked shoulder of the ram, and one twist of bread without leaven from the basket, and one unleavened cake, and he shall deliver them into the hands of the Nazarite, after his head has been shaven.
Le sacrificateur prendra l’épaule cuite du bélier, un gâteau sans levain de la corbeille, et une galette sans levain; et il les posera sur les mains du naziréen, après qu’il aura rasé sa tête consacrée.
20 And receiving them again from him, he shall elevate them in the sight of the Lord. And having been sanctified, these shall be for the priest, as also the breast, which was ordered to be separated, and the leg. After this, the Nazarite is able to drink wine.
Le sacrificateur les agitera de côté et d’autre devant l’Éternel: c’est une chose sainte, qui appartient au sacrificateur, avec la poitrine agitée et l’épaule offerte par élévation. Ensuite, le naziréen pourra boire du vin.
21 This is the law of the Nazarite, when he has vowed his oblation to the Lord in the time of his consecration, aside from those things which his hand shall find. According to what he had vowed in his mind, so shall he do, to the perfection of his sanctification.”
Telle est la loi pour celui qui fait vœu de naziréat; telle est son offrande à l’Éternel pour son naziréat, outre ce que lui permettront ses ressources. Il accomplira ce qui est ordonné pour le vœu qu’il a fait, selon la loi de son naziréat.
22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
L’Éternel parla à Moïse, et dit:
23 “Say to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them:
Parle à Aaron et à ses fils, et dis: Vous bénirez ainsi les enfants d’Israël, vous leur direz:
24 ‘May the Lord bless you and keep you.
Que l’Éternel te bénisse, et qu’il te garde!
25 May the Lord reveal his face to you and take pity on you.
Que l’Éternel fasse luire sa face sur toi, et qu’il t’accorde sa grâce!
26 May the Lord turn his countenance toward you and grant peace to you.’
Que l’Éternel tourne sa face vers toi, et qu’il te donne la paix!
27 And they shall invoke my name over the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.”
C’est ainsi qu’ils mettront mon nom sur les enfants d’Israël, et je les bénirai.
