Numbers 6
1 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Habló Yahvé a Moisés, diciendo:
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”].
“Habla a los hijos de Israel y diles: Si un hombre o una mujer hace un voto especial, el voto de nazareo, consagrándose a 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.
se abstendrá de vino y de bebida embriagante, no beberá vinagre de vino ni de (otra) bebida embriagante; no tomará zumo de uvas, ni comerá uvas frescas ni secas.
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.
En todos los días de su nazareato no comerá producto alguno de la vid, desde los granos hasta el hollejo.
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.
Durante todo el tiempo de su voto de nazareato, no pasará navaja sobre su cabeza. Hasta cumplirse los días por los que se consagró a Yahvé, quedará santo, y dejará crecer libremente su cabellera.
6 And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
En todos los días de su consagración a Yahvé no entrará donde haya un muerto.
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.
No ha de contaminarse (haciendo luto) por la muerte de su padre, ni de su madre, ni de su hermano, ni de su hermana; porque la consagración de su Dios está sobre su cabeza.
8 You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
Durante todo el tiempo de su nazareato está consagrado a 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 junto a él muriere uno de repente, contaminándose así la cabeza de su nazareato, raerá su cabeza el día de su purificación; el día séptimo la raerá.
10 The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Y al día octavo presentará al sacerdote dos tórtolas o dos palominos a la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión.
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.
El sacerdote ofrecerá el uno por el pecado, y el otro como holocausto, haciendo por él la expiación a causa del pecado en el caso del muerto; y en ese mismo día consagrará (de nuevo) su cabeza.
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.
Renovará ante Yahvé los días de su nazareato, y presentará un cordero primal por la culpa. Los días precedentes serán nulos, porque fue contaminado su nazareato.
13 ‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
Esta es la ley del nazareo. Al cumplirse los días de su nazareato, será conducido a la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión;
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.
y presentará como oblación suya a Yahvé un cordero primal sin tacha, en holocausto, una cordera primal sin tacha, para el sacrificio por el pecado, y un carnero sin tacha, para el sacrificio pacífico,
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.
un canasto de panes ácimos, tortas de flor de harina amasadas con aceite, y galletas sin levadura untadas de aceite, juntamente con la oblación y las libaciones respectivas.
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.
El sacerdote lo presentará delante de Yahvé, y ofrecerá su sacrificio por el pecado y su holocausto.
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.
Ofrecerá también a Yahvé el carnero como sacrificio pacífico, junto con el canasto de los panes ácimos; después presentará el sacerdote la ofrenda y la libación.
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.
El nazareo raerá la cabeza de su nazareato a la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión; y tomando su cabellera consagrada, la echara al fuego que arde debajo del sacrificio pacífico.
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.
El sacerdote tomará entonces la espaldilla, ya cocida, del carnero, una torta ácima del canasto y una galleta sin levadura, y los pondrá en las manos del nazareo, después que este se haya raído la cabeza consagrada.
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.
Y los mecerá el sacerdote como ofrenda mecida ante Yahvé —es cosa santa que pertenece al sacerdote, a más del pecho mecido y de la espaldilla alzada— y después podrá el nazareo beber vino.
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.’”
Esta es la ley del nazareo que ha hecho voto, y de su oblación a Yahvé con motivo de su nazareato, fuera de lo que agregue según sus recursos. Conforme al voto que haya hecho, así ha de hacer, además de lo ordenado por la ley del nazareato.”
22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Habló Yahvé a Moisés, diciendo:
23 “Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
“Habla a Aarón y a sus hijos, y diles: De esta manera bendeciréis a los hijos de Israel; les diréis:
24 ‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
¡Yahvé te bendiga y te guarde!
25 and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
¡Haga Yahvé brillar sobre ti su Rostro y tenga misericordia de ti!
26 and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
¡Vuelva Yahvé su Rostro hacia ti y te conceda la paz!
27 Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
Así pondrán mi Nombre sobre los hijos de Israel, y Yo los bendeciré.”
