Numbers 6
1 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Et l'Éternel parla à Moïse en ces termes:
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 leur dis: Si un homme ou une femme par dévotion se lie par le vœu du Naziréen pour se donner à l'Éternel,
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 s'abstiendra de vin et de cervoise, et ne boira ni vinaigre de vin, ni vinaigre de cervoise, et il ne boira d'aucun suc exprimé du raisin, et ne mangera ni raisins frais, ni raisins 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 son Naziréat il ne mangera d'aucun produit de la vigne depuis les pépins jusqu'à la peau.
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 Naziréat le rasoir ne passera point sur sa tête; jusqu'à l'expiration du temps qu'il aura voué à l'Éternel il sera consacré, il laissera croître dans toute leur longueur les cheveux de sa tête.
6 And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
Pendant tout le temps qu'il aura voué à l'Éternel, il ne s'approchera du cadavre d'aucun mort.
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.
Pour son père et pour sa mère, pour son frère et pour sa sœur, il ne contractera aucune souillure à leur sujet après leur mort, car il porte sur sa tête la consécration de son Dieu.
8 You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
Pendant toute la durée de son Naziréat il est consacré à l'Éternel.
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.
Et si quelqu'un meurt près de lui subitement, à l'improviste, ce qui souillerait sa tête consacrée, il se rasera la tête au 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.
Et le huitième jour il apportera deux tourterelles ou deux jeunes pigeons au Prêtre, à la porte de la Tente du Rendez-vous.
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.
Et le Prêtre en sacrifiera un comme victime expiatoire et un en holocauste, et fera pour lui la propitiation, parce que le mort l'a mis en état de péché; que donc il remette ce jour-là sa tête en état de sainteté.
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 vouera de nouveau à l'Éternel ses jours de Naziréat et offrira un agneau d'un an en sacrifice pour délit, car les jours précédents ne comptent plus, son Naziréat ayant été souillé.
13 ‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
Et voici la loi pour le Naziréen. A l'expiration du temps de son Naziréat on l'amènera à la Porte de la Tente du Rendez-vous.
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 oblation à l'Éternel, un agneau d'un an et sans défaut pour l'holocauste, et une brebis d'un an sans défaut pour le sacrifice expiatoire, et un bélier sans défaut pour le sacrifice pacifique,
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.
et une corbeille d'azymes, de galettes de fleur de farine trempées dans l'huile et d'oublies azymes ointes d'huile, et en sus l'offrande et les libations qui accompagnent.
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.
Et le Prêtre présentera ces choses devant l'Éternel et offrira son sacrifice expiatoire 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.
Et il sacrifiera le bélier comme victime pacifique à l'Éternel avec la corbeille d'azymes, et le Prêtre fera son offrande 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.
Et à la porte de la Tente du Rendez-vous le Naziréen rasera sa tête consacrée, et prendra sa chevelure consacrée et la mettra sur le feu allumé sous la victime pacifique.
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.
Et le Prêtre prendra l'épaule cuite de bélier, et une galette azyme dans la corbeille et une oublie azyme, qu'il placera dans les mains du Naziréen après que celui-ci aura coupé sa chevelure consacrée.
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 agitera ces choses en oblation offerte par agitation devant l'Éternel; elles sont sacrées et pour le Prêtre, outre la poitrine offerte par agitation, et outre l'éclanche offerte par élévation. 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.’”
Telle est la loi pour le Naziréen qui voue son oblation à l'Éternel en suite de sa consécration nonobstant ce qu'il a le moyen d'offrir: aux termes du vœu qu'il a fait, en sus de la loi de son Naziréat, ainsi s'acquittera-t-il.
22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Et l'Éternel parla à Moïse en ces termes:
23 “Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
Parle en ces termes à Aaron et à ses fils: Voici comment vous bénirez les enfants d'Israël: vous leur direz:
24 ‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
Que l'Éternel te bénisse et te garde!
25 and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
Que l'Éternel tourne vers toi un visage serein, et te soit propice!
26 and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
Que l'Éternel ait sa face levée vers toi, et te donne la paix!
27 Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
Qu'ainsi ils fassent l'imposition de mon nom sur les enfants d'Israël, et je les bénirai.
