< Numbers 6 >
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate [themselves] to the LORD.
“Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe alo nyɔnu aɖe di be yeaɖe adzɔgbe tɔxɛ aɖe hekɔ eɖokui ŋu na Yehowa abe Nazaritɔ ene la,
3 He shall separate [himself] from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
mele nɛ be wòano wain alo nu muame aɖeke alo aha sesẽ si wowɔ tso wain me alo aha si wotsɔ ɖo ƒãe o. Mano waintsetse me tsi alo aɖu waintsetse o.
4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine-tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
Ŋkeke ale si wònye Nazaritɔ ko la, maɖu naneke si do tso waintsetse me o; maɖu kuawo alo tsroa gɔ̃ hã o.
5 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days shall be fulfilled, in which he separateth [himself] to the LORD, he shall be holy, [and] shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
“‘Le ɣeyiɣi mawo katã me la, mele be wòako ta alo alũ ge gɔ̃ hã o, elabena enye ame kɔkɔe, eye wokɔ eŋuti na Yehowa. Eya ta ele nɛ be wòagblẽ eƒe ɖa ɖi wòato ʋluyaa.
6 All the days that he separateth [himself] to the LORD, he shall come at no dead body.
“‘Le ɣeyiɣi si me wòɖe eɖokui ɖe aga na Yehowa la, mate ɖe ame kuku ŋu o.
7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God [is] upon his head.
Ne eya ŋutɔ fofoa alo dadaa alo nɔvia ŋutsu alo nɔvia nyɔnu gɔ̃ hã ku la, magblẽ kɔ ɖo na eɖokui le wo ta o, elabena eƒe ɖokuitsɔtsɔ na Mawu ƒe dzesi le ta dzi nɛ,
8 All the days of his separation he [is] holy to the LORD.
eye wokɔ eŋuti na Yehowa to ɣeyiɣi la katã me.
9 And if any man shall die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
“‘Ne ame aɖe ku le exa la, ame kuku la gblẽ kɔ ɖo nɛ, ekema ako ta le ŋkeke adre megbe. Ekema eŋuti akɔ tso ale si amea nɔ egbɔ hafi ku la ta.
10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
Le ŋkeke enyilia gbe la, ele be wòatsɔ akpakpa eve alo ahɔnɛvi eve ayi na nunɔla le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
11 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
Nunɔla la atsɔ xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye wòatsɔ evelia asa numevɔe. Ale wòalé avu le ale si wògblẽ kɔ ɖoe la ta. Agbugbɔ eƒe adzɔgbe la aɖe gbe ma gbe, eye wòana eƒe ɖa nagade asi toto me.
12 And he shall consecrate to the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass-offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
Ŋkeke siwo wòwɔ eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe dzi hafi gblẽ kɔ ɖo la, megale eme o. Ele nɛ be wòagadze eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi wɔwɔ gɔme kple eƒe adzɔgbe yeye la, eye wòana alẽ si xɔ ƒe ɖeka hena eƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa.
13 And this [is] the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
“‘Ne adzɔgbe si wòɖe be yeaɖe ye ɖokui ɖe aga na Yehowa ƒe ɣeyiɣi wu enu la, ele be wòayi agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,
14 And he shall offer his offering to the LORD, one he-lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for peace-offerings,
eye wòasa numevɔ na Yehowa kple alẽ si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòde blibo. Ele be wòagana alẽnɔ si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòde blibo hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa kple agbo ɖeka si de blibo la na ŋutifafavɔsa.
15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat-offering and their drink-offerings.
Kpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, agana abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã kusi ɖeka, akpɔnɔ siwo wowɔ kple wɔ memee si dzi wokɔ ami ɖo, aboŋgo si wowɔ kple wɔ maʋamaʋã si dzi wokɔ ami ɖo, eye wòagatsɔ nuɖuvɔsa kple nunovɔsa akpe ɖe nu siawo ŋu.
16 And the priest shall bring [them] before the LORD, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering:
“‘Nunɔla la atsɔ nunana siawo ada ɖe Yehowa ŋkume. Atsɔ nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa la ana gbã, emegbe la, wòana numevɔsa la.
17 And he shall offer the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace-offerings to the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat-offering, and his drink-offering.
Le esiawo megbe la, atsɔ agbo la hena ŋutifafavɔsa na Yehowa kple abolo maʋamaʋã la ƒe kusi, eye wòawu enu kple nuɖuvɔsa la kple nunovɔsa la.
18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put [it] in the fire which [is] under the sacrifice of the peace-offerings.
“‘Azɔ la, adzɔgbeɖela la ako eƒe ɖa ʋluya la, si nye eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe ƒe dzesi. Awɔ nu sia le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Le esia megbe la, woatsɔ ɖa si wòko la ade dzo me le ŋutifafavɔsa la te.
19 And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put [them] upon the hands of the Nazarite, after [the hair of] his separation is shaven:
“‘Le takoko na adzɔgbeɖela la megbe la, nunɔla la atsɔ agbo la ƒe abɔ memee, abolo maʋamaʋãwo kple aboŋgo maʋamaʋãwo dometɔ ɖeka, eye wòatsɔ wo katã ade asi na adzɔgbeɖela la.
20 And the priest shall wave them [for] a wave-offering before the LORD: this [is] holy for the priest, with the wave-breast, and heave-shoulder: and after that, the Nazarite may drink wine.
Nunɔla la anye wo katã le yame, tso afii yi afi mɛ le Yehowa ŋkume abe vɔsa ene. Wonye nunana kɔkɔe na nunɔla la kpe ɖe eƒe axa kple abɔ siwo wònye le yame le Yehowa ŋkume la ŋuti. Le esia megbe la, adzɔgbeɖela la ate ŋu ano wain azɔ, elabena evo tso eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe me.
21 This [is] the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, [and of] his offering to the LORD for his separation, besides [that] which his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.
“‘Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe ame si ɖe adzɔgbe be yeaɖe ye ɖokui ɖe aga ɣeyiɣi aɖe na Yehowa kple eƒe vɔsawo ne ɣeyiɣi la wu enu la ŋu. Hekpe ɖe vɔsa siawo ŋu la, ele be adzɔgbeɖela la nagana nu bubu siwo ŋugbe wòdo le eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɣi.’”
22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Eye Yehowa ƒo nu kple Mose be,
23 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying to them,
“Gblɔ na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo be: ‘Ale miayra Israelviwo, agblɔe nye esi:
24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
“‘“Yehowa ayra wò, eye wòakpɔ dziwò!
25 The LORD make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious to thee:
Yehowa akɔ ŋkume ɖe wò, eye wòave nuwò!
26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Yehowa atrɔ mo ɖe gbɔwò, eye wòana ŋutifafa wò.”’
27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
“Ale woayɔ nye ŋkɔ atɔ ɖe Israelviwo ŋu, eye mayra wo.”
