< Numbers 6 >

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto the LORD:
“Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe alo nyɔnu aɖe di be yeaɖe adzɔgbe tɔxɛ aɖe hekɔ eɖokui ŋu na Yehowa abe Nazaritɔ ene la,
3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.
mele nɛ be wòano wain alo nu muame aɖeke alo aha sesẽ si wowɔ tso wain me alo aha si wotsɔ ɖo ƒãe o. Mano waintsetse me tsi alo aɖu waintsetse o.
4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk.
Ŋkeke ale si wònye Nazaritɔ ko la, maɖu naneke si do tso waintsetse me o; maɖu kuawo alo tsroa gɔ̃ hã o.
5 All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.
“‘Le ɣeyiɣi mawo katã me la, mele be wòako ta alo alũ ge gɔ̃ hã o, elabena enye ame kɔkɔe, eye wokɔ eŋuti na Yehowa. Eya ta ele nɛ be wòagblẽ eƒe ɖa ɖi wòato ʋluyaa.
6 All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall not come near to a dead body.
“‘Le ɣeyiɣi si me wòɖe eɖokui ɖe aga na Yehowa la, mate ɖe ame kuku ŋu o.
7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because his separation unto God is upon his head.
Ne eya ŋutɔ fofoa alo dadaa alo nɔvia ŋutsu alo nɔvia nyɔnu gɔ̃ hã ku la, magblẽ kɔ ɖo na eɖokui le wo ta o, elabena eƒe ɖokuitsɔtsɔ na Mawu ƒe dzesi le ta dzi nɛ,
8 All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.
eye wokɔ eŋuti na Yehowa to ɣeyiɣi la katã me.
9 And if any man die very suddenly beside him, and he defile the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
“‘Ne ame aɖe ku le exa la, ame kuku la gblẽ kɔ ɖo nɛ, ekema ako ta le ŋkeke adre megbe. Ekema eŋuti akɔ tso ale si amea nɔ egbɔ hafi ku la ta.
10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting:
Le ŋkeke enyilia gbe la, ele be wòatsɔ akpakpa eve alo ahɔnɛvi eve ayi na nunɔla le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
11 and the priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
Nunɔla la atsɔ xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye wòatsɔ evelia asa numevɔe. Ale wòalé avu le ale si wògblẽ kɔ ɖoe la ta. Agbugbɔ eƒe adzɔgbe la aɖe gbe ma gbe, eye wòana eƒe ɖa nagade asi toto me.
12 And he shall separate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a he-lamb of the first year for a guilt offering: but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.
Ŋkeke siwo wòwɔ eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe dzi hafi gblẽ kɔ ɖo la, megale eme o. Ele nɛ be wòagadze eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi wɔwɔ gɔme kple eƒe adzɔgbe yeye la, eye wòana alẽ si xɔ ƒe ɖeka hena eƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa.
13 And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tent of meeting:
“‘Ne adzɔgbe si wòɖe be yeaɖe ye ɖokui ɖe aga na Yehowa ƒe ɣeyiɣi wu enu la, ele be wòayi agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,
14 and he shall offer his oblation unto the LORD, one he-lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
eye wòasa numevɔ na Yehowa kple alẽ si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòde blibo. Ele be wòagana alẽnɔ si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòde blibo hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa kple agbo ɖeka si de blibo la na ŋutifafavɔsa.
15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings.
Kpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, agana abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã kusi ɖeka, akpɔnɔ siwo wowɔ kple wɔ memee si dzi wokɔ ami ɖo, aboŋgo si wowɔ kple wɔ maʋamaʋã si dzi wokɔ ami ɖo, eye wòagatsɔ nuɖuvɔsa kple nunovɔsa akpe ɖe nu siawo ŋu.
16 And the priest shall present them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
“‘Nunɔla la atsɔ nunana siawo ada ɖe Yehowa ŋkume. Atsɔ nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa la ana gbã, emegbe la, wòana numevɔsa la.
17 and he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also the meal offering thereof, and the drink offering thereof.
Le esiawo megbe la, atsɔ agbo la hena ŋutifafavɔsa na Yehowa kple abolo maʋamaʋã la ƒe kusi, eye wòawu enu kple nuɖuvɔsa la kple nunovɔsa la.
18 And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace offerings.
“‘Azɔ la, adzɔgbeɖela la ako eƒe ɖa ʋluya la, si nye eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe ƒe dzesi. Awɔ nu sia le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Le esia megbe la, woatsɔ ɖa si wòko la ade dzo me le ŋutifafavɔsa la te.
19 And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he hath shaven [the head of] his separation:
“‘Le takoko na adzɔgbeɖela la megbe la, nunɔla la atsɔ agbo la ƒe abɔ memee, abolo maʋamaʋãwo kple aboŋgo maʋamaʋãwo dometɔ ɖeka, eye wòatsɔ wo katã ade asi na adzɔgbeɖela la.
20 and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD; this is holy for the priest, together with the wave breast and heave thigh: and after that the Nazirite may drink wine.
Nunɔla la anye wo katã le yame, tso afii yi afi mɛ le Yehowa ŋkume abe vɔsa ene. Wonye nunana kɔkɔe na nunɔla la kpe ɖe eƒe axa kple abɔ siwo wònye le yame le Yehowa ŋkume la ŋuti. Le esia megbe la, adzɔgbeɖela la ate ŋu ano wain azɔ, elabena evo tso eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe me.
21 This is the law of the Nazirite who voweth, [and of] his oblation unto the LORD for his separation, beside that which he is able to get: according to his vow which he voweth, so he must do after the law of his separation.
“‘Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe ame si ɖe adzɔgbe be yeaɖe ye ɖokui ɖe aga ɣeyiɣi aɖe na Yehowa kple eƒe vɔsawo ne ɣeyiɣi la wu enu la ŋu. Hekpe ɖe vɔsa siawo ŋu la, ele be adzɔgbeɖela la nagana nu bubu siwo ŋugbe wòdo le eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɣi.’”
22 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Eye Yehowa ƒo nu kple Mose be,
23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel; ye shall say unto them,
“Gblɔ na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo be: ‘Ale miayra Israelviwo, agblɔe nye esi:
24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
“‘“Yehowa ayra wò, eye wòakpɔ dziwò!
25 The LORD make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
Yehowa akɔ ŋkume ɖe wò, eye wòave nuwò!
26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Yehowa atrɔ mo ɖe gbɔwò, eye wòana ŋutifafa wò.”’
27 So shall they put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
“Ale woayɔ nye ŋkɔ atɔ ɖe Israelviwo ŋu, eye mayra wo.”
