Nombres 6
1 L'Eternel parla aussi a Moïse, en disant:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
2 Parle aux enfants d'Israël, et leur dis: Quand un homme ou une femme aura fait le vœu de Nazarien, pour se faire Nazarien à l'Eternel;
“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”].
3 Il s'abstiendra de vin et de cervoise, il ne boira d'aucun vinaigre fait de vin ou de cervoise, ni d'aucune liqueur de raisins, et il ne mangera point de raisins frais, ni de [raisins] secs.
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.
4 Durant tous les jours de son Nazaréat il ne mangera d'aucun fruit de vigne, depuis les pépins jusqu'à la peau [du raisin].
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.
5 Le rasoir ne passera point sur sa tête durant tous les jours de son Nazaréat. Il sera saint jusqu'à ce que les jours pour lesquels il s'est fait Nazarien à l'Eternel soient accomplis, et il laissera croître les cheveux de sa tête.
‘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.
6 Durant tous les jours pour lesquels il s'est fait Nazarien à l'Eternel il ne s'approchera d'aucune personne morte.
And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
7 Il ne se souillera point pour son père, ni pour sa mère, ni pour son frère, ni pour sa sœur, quand ils seront morts; car le Nazaréat de son Dieu est sur sa tête.
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.
8 Durant tous les jours de son Nazaréat il est saint à l'Eternel.
You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
9 Que si quelqu'un vient à mourir subitement auprès de lui, la tête de son Nazaréat sera souillée, et il rasera sa tête au jour de sa purification, il la rasera le septième jour.
‘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.
10 Et le huitième jour il apportera au Sacrificateur deux tourterelles, ou deux pigeonneaux, à l'entrée du Tabernacle d'assignation.
The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
11 Et le Sacrificateur en sacrifiera l'un pour le péché, et l'autre en holocauste, et il fera propitiation pour lui de ce qu'il a péché à l'occasion du mort; il sanctifiera donc ainsi sa tête en ce jour-là.
‘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.
12 Et il séparera à l'Eternel les jours de son Nazaréat, offrant un agneau d'un an pour le délit, et les premiers jours seront comptés pour rien; car son Nazaréat a été souillé.
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.
13 Or c'est ici la loi du Nazarien; lorsque les jours de son Nazaréat seront accomplis, on le fera venir à la porte du Tabernacle d'assignation.
‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
14 Et il fera son offrande l'Eternel d'un agneau d'un an sans tare, en holocauste, et d'une brebis d'un an sans tare, pour le péché, et d'un bélier sans tare, pour le sacrifice de prospérités;
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.
15 Et d'une corbeille de pains sans levain de gâteaux de fine farine, pétrie à l'huile, et de beignets sans levain, oints d'huile, avec leur gâteau, et leurs aspersions;
‘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.
16 Lesquels le Sacrificateur offrira devant l'Eternel; il sacrifiera aussi sa victime pour le péché, et son holocauste.
‘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.
17 Et il offrira le bélier en sacrifice de prospérités à l'Eternel, avec la corbeille des pains sans levain; le Sacrificateur offrira aussi son gâteau, et son aspersion.
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.
18 Et le Nazarien rasera la tête de son Nazaréat à l'entrée du Tabernacle d'assignation, et prendra les cheveux de la tête de son Nazaréat, et les mettra sur le feu qui est sous le sacrifice de prospérités.
‘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.
19 Et le Sacrificateur prendra l'épaule bouillie du bélier, et un gâteau sans levain de la corbeille, et un beignet sans levain, et les mettra sur les paumes des mains du Nazarien, après qu'il se sera fait raser son Nazaréat.
‘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.
20 Et le Sacrificateur tournoiera ces choses en offrande tournoyée devant l'Eternel; c'est une chose sainte qui appartient au Sacrificateur, avec la poitrine de tournoiement, et l'épaule d'élévation, après quoi le Nazarien pourra boire du vin.
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.
21 Telle est la loi du Nazarien qui aura voué à l'Eternel son offrande pour son Nazaréat, outre ce qu'il aura [encore] moyen d'offrir; il fera selon son vœu qu'il aura voué, suivant la loi de son Nazaréat.
‘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.’”
22 L'Eternel parla aussi à Moïse, en disant:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 Parle à Aaron et à ses fils, et leur dis: Vous bénirez ainsi les enfants d'Israël, en leur disant:
“Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
24 L'Eternel te bénisse, et te garde.
‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
25 L'Eternel fasse luire sa face sur toi, et te fasse grâce.
and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
26 L'Eternel tourne sa face vers toi, et te donne la paix.
and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
27 Ils mettront donc mon Nom sur les enfants d'Israël, et je les bénirai.
Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
