Numbers 6
1 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Yahvé parla à Moïse, et dit:
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If any of you [wants to] make a solemn promise to dedicate himself to belong to me in a special way, [after you obey these instructions], you will be called a Nazir-man, [which means “dedicated man”].
Parle aux enfants d'Israël, et dis-leur: Quand un homme ou une femme fera un vœu spécial, le vœu de naziréat, pour se séparer de Yahvé,
3 You must not drink any wine or other alcoholic/fermented drink. You must not drink any vinegar made from wine or from any other alcoholic/fermented drink. You must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.
il se séparera du vin et des boissons fortes. Il ne boira pas de vinaigre de vin ni de vinaigre de boisson fermentée, il ne boira pas de jus de raisin et ne mangera pas de raisins frais ou secs.
4 You must not eat anything that comes from grapevines, not even the skins or seeds of grapes, during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
Pendant toute la durée de sa séparation, il ne mangera rien de ce qui provient de la vigne, depuis les pépins jusqu'aux peaux.
5 ‘Even your hair will be dedicated to me during the time that you area Nazir-man, so you must never allow anyone to cut your hair. Until the time that your solemn promise to dedicate yourself to me is ended, you must allow your hair to grow long.
"'Pendant toute la durée de son vœu de séparation, aucun rasoir ne viendra sur sa tête, jusqu'à l'accomplissement des jours où il se séparera de Yahvé. Il sera saint. Il laissera croître les mèches des cheveux de sa tête.
6 And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
"'Tous les jours où il se séparera de Yahvé, il ne s'approchera pas d'un cadavre.
7 Even if the person who died is your father or your mother or your brother or your sister, you must not cause yourself to become unacceptable to me [by coming close to the corpse]. Your long hair [MTY] shows that you belong to me in a special way, so you must not cut your hair.
Il ne se rendra pas impur pour son père, pour sa mère, pour son frère ou pour sa sœur, lorsqu'ils mourront, car sa séparation d'avec Dieu est sur sa tête.
8 You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
Tous les jours de sa séparation, il est saint pour Yahvé.
9 ‘If anyone dies very suddenly when he is near you, then your hair that you have dedicated to me is no longer sacred. So you must wait seven days and then shave it all off. Then you must perform a special ritual to cause yourself to become acceptable to me again.
"'Si un homme meurt subitement à côté de lui et qu'il souille la tête de sa séparation, il se rasera la tête le jour de sa purification. Le septième jour, il la rasera.
10 The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Le huitième jour, il apportera au prêtre, à l'entrée de la tente de la Rencontre, deux tourterelles ou deux jeunes pigeons.
11 ‘The priest must [kill the birds and] offer them as sacrifices. One of them will be an offering to enable me to forgive you for the sins you have committed, and the other will be an offering that is burned completely to please me. [After the priest burns them on the altar], I will forgive you for having come close to a corpse, and [when] your hair [grows again it] will be dedicated to me again.
Le prêtre offrira l'une en sacrifice pour le péché et l'autre en holocauste; il fera l'expiation pour lui, parce qu'il a péché à cause d'un mort, et il sanctifiera sa tête ce même jour.
12 The amount of time that you were set apart for me the previous time does not count, because you had become unacceptable to me [by coming close to a corpse] during the time that you were a Nazir-man. So you must again make a solemn promise to dedicate yourself to me for the entire amount of time that you indicated the previous time. And you must also sacrifice a one-year-old lamb for not doing what you were required to do.
Il séparera pour Yahvé les jours de sa séparation, et il apportera un agneau mâle d'un an en sacrifice de culpabilité; mais les jours précédents seront annulés, car sa séparation a été souillée.
13 ‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
« Voici la loi du naziréen: lorsque les jours de sa séparation seront accomplis, il sera amené à l'entrée de la tente d'assignation,
14 and offer as sacrifices to me three animals that have no defects: Offer a one-year-old ram that will be burned completely, a one-year-old female lamb as a sacrifice to enable me to forgive your sins, and one full-grown ram as a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
et il présentera son offrande à l'Éternel: un agneau mâle d'un an sans défaut pour l'holocauste, une brebis d'un an sans défaut pour le sacrifice pour le péché, un bélier sans défaut pour le sacrifice d'actions de grâces,
15 ‘When you bring those animals, you must also bring some wine to offer as a sacrifice. And you must also bring a basket of bread that you have made with very good flour and [olive] oil. But you must not put any yeast in the bread. Also brush/spread some [olive] oil on some thin wafers and bring them to the priest.
une corbeille de pains sans levain, des gâteaux de fleur de farine pétrie à l'huile, et des galettes sans levain ointes d'huile, avec leur offrande et leur libation.
16 ‘The priest will put the young lamb and the young ram on the altar and completely burn them, in order that I will be pleased and will forgive you for your sins.
Le prêtre les présentera devant l'Éternel, et il offrira son sacrifice pour le péché et son holocauste.
17 Then he will kill the full-grown ram as an offering to restore fellowship with me, and he will also burn on the altar some of the bread and the grain and wine.
Il offrira le bélier en sacrifice d'actions de grâces à l'Éternel, avec la corbeille de pains sans levain. Le prêtre offrira également son offrande de repas et sa libation.
18 ‘After that, you must [stand at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent and shave off your hair. Then you must put that hair in the fire that is under the [animal that has been sacrificed] on the altar to maintain fellowship with me.
Le naziréen rasera sa tête de séparation à l'entrée de la Tente d'assignation, prendra les cheveux de sa tête de séparation et les mettra sur le feu qui est sous le sacrifice d'actions de grâces.
19 ‘The meat from the ram’s shoulder must be boiled. After it is cooked, the priest will take it along with one of the loaves of bread and one wafer which has been brushed with [olive] oil, and he will put them in your hands.
Le prêtre prendra l'épaule bouillie 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 de séparation;
20 Then the priest will [take them back and] lift them up high to dedicate them to me. They now belong to the priest, and he is permitted to eat some of the meat from the ram’s shoulder and from its ribs and from one of its thighs, because that meat is his share of the sacrifice. After that, you will no longer be a Nazir-man, and you will again be permitted to drink wine.
et le prêtre les agitera en sacrifice d'agitation devant Yahvé. Elles sont saintes pour le prêtre, avec la poitrine qu'on agite et la cuisse qu'on offre. Après cela, le naziréen pourra boire du vin.
21 ‘Those are the regulations about the offerings that Nazir-men solemnly promise to bring to me to end their time of being dedicated to me. They must bring these offerings, but if they want to, they may bring additional offerings. And they must do everything that they solemnly promised to do when they dedicated themselves to me.’”
"'Voici la loi du naziréen qui fait un vœu et de son offrande à Yahvé pour sa séparation, en plus de ce qu'il peut se permettre. Selon le vœu qu'il prononce, il doit agir de la même manière, selon la loi de sa séparation. »"
22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Yahvé parla à Moïse et dit:
23 “Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
« Parle à Aaron et à ses fils, et dis: « Voici comment vous bénirez les enfants d'Israël. Vous leur direz,
24 ‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
Yahvé te bénit et te garde.
25 and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
Yahvé fait briller sa face sur vous, et être gracieux envers vous.
26 and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
Yahvé lève sa face vers vous, et te donner la paix.
27 Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
« Ils mettront mon nom sur les enfants d'Israël, et je les bénirai. »
