Numbers 6
1 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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”].
“Akkana jedhii saba Israaʼelitti dubbadhu: ‘Dhiirri yookaan dubartiin tokko yoo Waaqayyoof addaan of baasuuf wareega addaa yookaan wareega Naazirummaa wareegan,
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.
daadhii wayinii fi dhugaatii nama macheessu irraa of haa eeggatan; namni sun dhangaggaaʼaa daadhii wayinii irraa hojjetame yookaan dhangaggaaʼaa dhugaatii nama macheessuu biraa hin dhugin. Inni cuunfaa gumaa wayinii dhuguu yookaan ija wayinii asheetii yookaan goggogaa isaa nyaachuu hin qabu.
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.
Innis bara Naazirummaa isaa hunda keessa waan gumaa wayinii irraa argamu kam iyyuu sanyii isaas taʼu qola isaa nyaachuu hin qabu.
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.
“‘Bara wareega addaan baafamuu isaa hunda keessa qarabaan tokko iyyuu mataa isaa hin tuqin. Hamma yeroon inni itti Waaqayyoof addaan baafame sun xumuramutti inni qulqulluu haa taʼu; akka rifeensi mataa isaa guddatuufis gad haa dhiisu.
6 And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
“‘Naazirichi bara Waaqayyoof addaan of baase hunda keessa reeffatti dhiʼaachuu hin qabu.
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.
Sababii mallattoon inni ittiin Waaqayyoof addaan baafame mataa isaa irra jiruuf yoo abbaan isaa yookaan haati isaa, obboleessi isaa yookaan obboleettiin isaa duʼan illee isaaniif jedhee akka seeraatti of hin xureessin.
8 You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
Inni bara itti addaan baafame sana hunda keessa kan Waaqayyoof qulqulleeffamee dha.
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.
“‘Yoo namni tokko iddoo Naazirichi jirutti akka tasaa duʼee akkasiin rifeensa inni addaan baase sana xureesse, inni guyyaa itti qulqulleeffamutti jechuunis guyyaa torbaffaatti mataa isaa haa haaddatu.
10 The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Ergasiis inni guyyaa saddeettaffaatti gugee lama yookaan gugee sosookkee lama balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii irratti lubatti haa fidu.
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.
Sababii inni iddoo reeffi jirutti argamuudhaan cubbuu hojjeteef lubichi isa tokko aarsaa cubbuu, isa kaan immoo aarsaa gubamu godhee araara buusuuf haa dhiʼeessuuf. Guyyuma sanas rifeensa mataa isaa addaan haa baasu.
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.
Inni yeroo itti addaan baafame keessa ammas Waaqayyoof addaan of haa baasu; xobbaallaa hoolaa kan umuriin isaa waggaa tokko taʼes aarsaa yakkaa godhee haa fidu. Garuu sababii inni yeroo addaan baʼiisa isaa keessa xureeffameef guyyoonni darban hin lakkaaʼaman.
13 ‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
“‘Egaa yeroo addaan baʼumsi isaa xumuramutti seerri Naazirichaa kanaa dha: Inni gara karra dunkaana wal gaʼiitti haa fidamu.
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.
Achitti aarsaa isaa Waaqayyoof haa dhiʼeessu; kunis xobbaallaa korbeessa hoolaa hirʼina hin qabnee kan umuriin isaa waggaa tokko taʼe aarsaa gubamuuf, xobbaallaa hoolaa dhaltuu hirʼina hin qabne kan umuriin ishee waggaa tokko taʼe aarsaa cubbuutiif, korbeessa hoolaa hirʼina hin qabne aarsaa nagaatiif,
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.
kana wajjinis Maxinoo gundoo tokko, Maxinoo daakuu bullaaʼaa irraa tolfame kan zayitiidhaan sukkuumame, bixxillee zayitiin irra dibame akkasumas kennaa midhaanii fi dhibaayyuu isaanii haa dhiʼeessu.
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.
“‘Lubichis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan fidee aarsaa cubbuutii fi aarsaa gubamu haa dhiʼeessu.
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.
Innis korbeessa hoolaa sana Maxinoo gundoo irra jiru sana wajjin aarsaa nagaa godhee Waaqayyoof haa dhiʼeessu; akkasumas lubichi kennaa midhaaniitii fi dhibaayyuu isaa haa dhiʼeessu.
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.
“‘Ergasii Naazirichi balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti rifeensa addaan baase sana haa haaddatu. Rifeensa sanas fuudhee ibidda aarsaa nagaa jalaan jiru sana keessa haa buusu.
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.
“‘Erga Naazirichi rifeensa ittiin addaan baafame sana haaddatee booddee lubni sun foon gatiittii korbeessa hoolaa kan affeelamee fi Maxinoo fi bixxillee hin bukaaʼin gundoo sana irraa fuudhee harka namichaa irra haa kaaʼu.
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.
Ergasiis lubichi aarsaa sochoofamu godhee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan haa sochoosu; isaanis handaraafa sochoofamee fi tafa dhiʼeeffame sana wajjin lubichaaf kan qulqulleeffamanii dha. Ergasii Naazirichi daadhii wayinii dhuguu ni dandaʼa.
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.’”
“‘Seerri Naaziricha waan kennuu dandaʼu kaan dabalatee akkuma addaan baʼumsa isaatti kennaa isaa Waaqayyoof wareegu tokkoo kanaa dha. Innis akkuma seera Naazirichaatti waan wareege sana raawwachuu qaba.’”
22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
23 “Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
“Aroonii fi ilmaan isaatti akkana jedhii himi; ‘Akki isin itti Israaʼeloota eebbiftan kanaa dha. Akkana jedhaanii:
24 ‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
“‘“Waaqayyo si haa eebbisu; si haa eegus;
25 and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
Waaqayyo fuula isaa siif haa ibsu; garaa siif haa laafu.
26 and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
Waaqayyo fuula isaa gara keetti haa deebisu; nagaas siif haa kennu.”’
27 Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
“Akkasitti isaan maqaa koo saba Israaʼel irra kaaʼu; anis isaan nan eebbisa.”
