Numbers 6
1 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
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”].
Misaontsia amo ana’Israeleo le ano ty hoe: Naho mitangèñe, manao ty fanta’ o Nazireo, ndra ty lahilahy ndra ampela, hiambake ho am’ Iehovà,
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.
le hifoneña’e ty divay naho ze rano mahery; tsy hikama vinegran-divay ndra vinegran-toake, vaho tsy ho kamae’e ty ranom-baloboke, ndra ty voam-baloboke ke te mandrano he maike.
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.
Tsy ho kamae’e ndra inoñe boak’ ami’ty vahem-baloboke ndra o àta’eo ndra o holi’eo amo hene andro maha Nazire azeo.
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.
Amo hene andro maha Nazire azeo, tsy hiozam-piharatse i añambone’ey; ampara’ te heneke o andro niambaha’e ho a Iehovào; hiavake re; le henga’e hitombo avao o ori-maroin’añambone’eo.
6 And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
Tsy hiharine lolo re amy ze hene andro hiambaha’e ho a’ Iehovà.
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.
Tsy handeo-batan-dre ndra aman-drae’e ndra rene’e, ndra aman-drahalahi’e ndra rahavave’e t’ie mihomake, amy te añambone’e eo ty fiambaha’e ho aman’ Añahare.
8 You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
Hiavake am’ Iehovà re amo hene andro fiambaha’eo.
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.
Ie mitojeha te mihomake marine aze t’indaty, naho leore’e i añambone’e norizañey, le ho harate’e i añambone’ey ami’ty andro fañeferañe aze; hiharata’e ami’ty andro fahafito’e.
10 The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Amy andro fahavaloy re ro handay deho roe ndra ana-boromahilala roe mb’amy mpisoroñe an-dalan-kibohom-pamantañañey mb’eo,
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 ho hentseñe’ i mpisoroñey ty raike ho engan-kakeo, le hisoroña’e ty raike hijebañañe i nandilatse amy fateiy, vaho havahe’e amy àndroy ty añambone’e.
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.
Havì’e am’ Iehovà o andro fiambaha’eo vaho ho banabanae’e ty vik’ añondrilahy engan-dilatse; fe ho modo o andro taoloo kanao nileoreñe i fiambaha’ey.
13 ‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
Inao ty fetse’ o Nazireo: Ie heneke o andro fiambaha’eo le hasese mb’an-dalan-kibohom-pamantañam-beo,
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.
le ho banabanae’e am’ Iehovà o enga’eo: ty vik’ añondrilahy tsy aman-kandra hisoroñañe naho ty vik’ añondri-vave tsy aman-kila ho engan-kakeo, naho ty añondrilahy tsy aman-kandra ho engan-kanintsiñe,
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.
naho mofo po-dalivay an-karoñe, mofo vonga’e ami’ty mona linaro menake, naho mofo pisake nihosorañe menake, naho o enga-mahakama’eo vaho o enga-rano’eo.
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 hasese’ i mpisoroñey añatrefa’ Iehovà izay vaho hengae’e i engan-kakeoy naho i enga hisoroñañey,
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.
le hengae’e ho engam-pañanintsiñe am’ Iehovà i añondrilahiy miharo amy haro-mofo po-dalivaiy; hengae’ i mpisoroñey ka i enga-mahakama’ey naho i enga-rano’ey.
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 ho harate’ i Nazirey an-dalan-kibohom-pamantañañ’ ao i añambone’e norizañey le ho rambese’e o maroi’eo vaho hapo’e amy afo ambane’ i soron-kanintsiñeiy.
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 ho rambese’ i mpisoroñey ty soro’ i añondrilahy nahandroeñey naho ty vonga mofo po-dalivay raike naho ty mofo pisake po-dalivay boak’ amy haroñey vaho hatolo’e am-pità’ i Nazirey, ie fa niharate’e i añambone’e norizañey,
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.
le hahelahela’ i mpisoroñey irezay ho enga-kelahela añatrefa’ Iehovà; ie avaheñe ho a i mpisoroñey, mitraok’ ami’ty tratra’ i engan-kelahelay naho ty tso’ i engan-kavoañey. Heneke izay le mete mikama divay i Nazirey.
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.’”
Izay ty fetse’ ty Nazire mifanta, ie mañenga am’ Iehovào amy ha-Nazire’ey, ambone’ ze satrie’e amy hanaña’ey; i nifanta’ey ro hanoe’e i lilim-piambaha’ey.
22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
23 “Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
Misaontsia amy Aharone naho o ana’eo le ano ty hoe: Zao ty fitatà’ areo o ana’ Israeleo. Ano ty hoe am’ iereo:
24 ‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
Hitahy azo t’Iehovà, naho hañaro azo;
25 and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
Hampireandreàñe’ Iehovà ama’o ty vinta’e, naho hatarik’ ama’o;
26 and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
Hampiandrà’ Iehovà ama’o ty lahara’e vaho hampanintsiñe azo.
27 Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
Izay ty hampipetaha’e amo ana’ Israeleo ty añarako hitahiako iareo.
