Numbers 6

1 The Lord told Moses,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

2 “Tell the Israelites: If a man or a woman makes a special promise to become a Nazirite, to dedicate themselves to the Lord,

Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOka fakamāvae ia ʻe ha tangata pe ʻe ha fefine ke fuakava ʻi he fuakava ʻae fakamavahe, ke fakamāvae ʻakinautolu kia Sihova:

3 they must not drink any wine or other alcoholic drink. They must not even drink vinegar made from wine or other alcoholic drink, or any grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.

‌ʻE mahuʻi ia mei he uaine mo e inu mālohi, ʻe ʻikai te ne inu ʻae uaine mahi, pe ko e inu mālohi kuo mahi, ʻe ʻikai inu ʻe ia ʻae huhuʻa ʻoe kālepi, pe kai ʻae kālepi mata, pe mōmoa.

4 The whole time they are dedicated to the Lord they must not eat anything from a grapevine, not even grape seeds or skins.

‌ʻI he ʻaho kotoa pē kuo mavahe ai ia, ʻe ʻikai te ne kai ha meʻa ʻe taha kuo ngaohi mei he ʻakau ko e vaine, mei he tenga ʻo aʻu ki hono kafukafu.

5 They must not use a razor on their heads during the whole time of this promise of dedication. They must remain holy until their time of dedication to the Lord is finished. They must let their hair grow long.

Ko e ʻaho kotoa pē ʻoe fuakava ʻo ʻene mahuʻi ʻe ʻikai hoko ʻae tele ki hono ʻulu: kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia kuo mavahe ai ia kia Sihova, pea ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia, pea te ne tuku ke lōloa ʻa hono louʻulu.

6 During this time of dedication to the Lord they must not go near a dead body.

Ko e ʻaho kotoa pē kuo mavahe ai ia kia Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ofi ange ia ki ha sino kuo mate.

7 Even if it's their father, mother, brother or sister who has died, they are not to make themselves unclean, because their uncut hair announces their dedication to God.

‌ʻE ʻikai te ne fakaʻuliʻi ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene tamai, pe ko ʻene faʻē, pe ko hono tokoua, pe ko hono tuofefine, ʻoka nau ka mate: koeʻuhi ko e fakatapui ia ʻi hono ʻulu ʻe hono ʻOtua.

8 Through the whole time of their dedication they are to be holy to the Lord.

Ko e ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene mavahe ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ai ia kia Sihova.

9 However, if someone dies suddenly close to them, making them unclean, they must wait seven days, and on the seventh day when they are made clean again they are to shave their heads.

Pea kapau ʻe mate fakafokifā ha tangata ʻoku ofi kiate ia, pea kapau kuo ne fakaʻuliʻi ʻae fakatapu ʻo hono ʻulu; pehē te ne toki tele hono ʻulu, ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hono fakamaʻa te ne tele ia, ʻi hono ʻaho fitu.

10 On the eighth day they shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

Pea ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho te ne ʻomi ʻae ongo kulukulu, pe ha ongo lupe mui ki he taulaʻeiki, ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai:

11 The priest will offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make them right, because they became guilty by being near the dead body. On that day they must re-dedicate themselves and let their hair grow again.

Pea ʻe feilaulau ʻaki ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae taha ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala, ka ko e taha ko e feilaulau tutu, pea ʻe fai ʻae fakalelei maʻana, he kuo angahala ia ʻi he mate, pea te ne fakatapui ʻa hono ʻulu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.

12 They must re-dedicate themselves to the Lord for the full time they originally promised and bring a one-year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days don't count towards the time of dedication because they became unclean.

Pea te ne fakatapui kia Sihova ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene mavahe, pea te ne ʻomi ʻae lami ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu ko e feilaulau fakalelei, ka kuo mole ʻae ngaahi muʻaki ʻaho koeʻuhi kuo fakaʻuliʻi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene mavahe.

13 These are the rules to be observed when the Nazirite's time of dedication is finished. They are to be taken to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

Pea ko eni ʻae fono ʻo ia kuo fakamavahe, ʻoka hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene mahuʻi: ʻe ʻomi ia ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai:

14 There they are to present an offering to the Lord of a one-year-old male lamb without defects as a burnt offering, a one-year-old female lamb without defects as a sin offering, and ram without defects as a peace offering.

Pea te ne ʻatu ʻa ʻene feilaulau kia Sihova, ko e lami tangata ʻe taha taʻehanomele ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu, ko e feilaulau tutu, pea mo e lami fefine ʻe taha taʻehanomele ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu, ko e feilaulau ia maʻae angahala, pea mo e sipitangata ʻe taha taʻehanomele ko e feilaulau fakalelei ia.

15 In addition they are to bring a basket of bread without yeast made from the best flour mixed with olive oil and wafers without yeast coated with olive oil as well as their grain offerings and drink offerings.

Pea mo e kato mā taʻefakalēvani, ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā ʻoe mahoaʻa lelei kuo fefiofi mo e lolo, pea mo e ngaahi mā manifinifi taʻefakalēvani kuo pani ʻaki ʻae lolo, mo ʻenau feilaulau meʻakai, mo ʻenau feilaulau inu.

16 The priest will present all these before the Lord as well as sacrificing the sin offering and the burnt offering.

Pea ʻe ʻomi ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea te ne ʻatu ʻa ʻene feilaulau maʻae angahala, mo ʻene feilaulau tutu:

17 He will also sacrifice a ram as a peace offering to the Lord, together with the basket of bread made without yeast. In addition the priest will present the grain offering and drink offering.

Pea te ne ʻange ʻae sipitangata, ko e feilaulau fakalelei kia Sihova, mo e kato mā taʻefakalēvani, pea ʻe ʻatu foki ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻa ʻene feilaulau meʻakai, mo ʻene feilaulau inu.

18 Then the Nazirites are to shave their heads at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They shall take the hair from their heads that were dedicated, and place it on the fire under the peace offering.

Pea ko ia kuo fakamavahe ʻe tele ʻe ia ʻa hono ʻulu ʻi heʻene mavahe ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea ʻe ʻave ʻe ia ʻae tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo ʻene mavahe, ʻo tuku ia ki he afi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he lalo feilaulau fakalelei.

19 Once the Nazirites have shaved, the priest will take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one bread without yeast from the basket, and one wafer without yeast, and place them in their hands.

Pea ʻe ʻave ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae alanga ʻoe sipitangata kuo haka, pea mo e foʻi mā ʻe taha taʻefakalēvani mei he kato, mo e mā manifinifi ʻe taha taʻefakalēvani, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he nima ʻo ia kuo fakamavahe, ʻoka hili ʻae tele ʻoe louʻulu ʻo ʻene mahuʻi koe.

20 The priest will wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. These items are holy and belong to the priest, as well as the breast of the wave offering and the thigh that was offered. Once this is finished, Nazirites may drink wine.

Pea ʻe lieliaki ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki, ko e feilaulau lieliaki ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia ki he taulaʻeiki, fakataha mo e fatafata lieliaki, mo e alanga nima hiki hake; pea ka hili ia ʻe inu ʻae uaine ʻe ia naʻe fakamanavahē.

21 These are the rules to be observed when a Nazirite promises to give offerings to the Lord regarding their dedication. They can also bring additional offerings if they can afford it. Every Nazirite must fulfill whatever promises they have made when they dedicated themselves.”

“‘Pea ko eni ʻae fono ʻo ia kuo fakamavahe ʻaia kuo fuakava, pea mo ʻene feilaulau kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene mavahe, pea mo ia te ne ʻomi ʻi hono nima: ʻo fakatatau ki he fuakava naʻa ne fuakava ʻaki, ʻe pehē ʻene fai ʻo hangē ko e fono ʻo ʻene mavahe.’”

22 The Lord told Moses,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

23 “Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. This is what they are to say:

“Ke ke lea kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha, ʻo ke pehē, ‘ʻE pehē hoʻomou tāpuaki ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli,’ pea te mou pehē kiate kinautolu:

24 ‘May the Lord bless you and take care of you.

‘Ke fakamonūʻia ko e ʻe Sihova, ʻo tauhi koe:

25 May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.

Ke tuku ʻe Sihova ke ulo hono fofonga kiate koe, ʻo ne ʻaloʻofa kiate koe:

26 May the Lord watch over you and give you peace.’

Ke hiki hake ʻe Sihova ʻa hono fofonga kiate koe, ʻo tuku ʻae fiemālie kiate koe.’

27 Whenever the priests bless the Israelites in my name, I will bless them.”

“Pea tenau tuku hoku hingoa ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea te u fakamonūʻia ʻakinautolu.”
