1 Ankò, SENYÈ a te pale avè Moïse. Li te di:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
2 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo e di yo: ‘Lè yon nonm oswa yon fanm fè yon ve, ve a yon Nazareyen, pou dedye tèt li bay SENYÈ a,
“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 li va refize diven avèk bwason fò. Li pa pou bwè vinèg, kit li fèt avèk diven kit bwason fò, ni li p ap bwè ji rezen, ni manje rezen, ni fre, ni sèch.
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 Tout jou apa sa yo, li pa pou manje anyen ki pwodwi pa pye rezen, soti nan grenn li yo, jis rive nan po li.
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 “‘Tout jou yo, pandan ve apa li a, okenn razwa p ap pase sou tèt li. Li va sen jiskaske jou li yo vin akonpli pou sa li te separe tèt li bay SENYÈ a. Li va kite cheve tèt li vin long.
‘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 “‘Tout jou a separasyon li yo, li pa pou pwoche yon mò.
And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
7 Li pa pou fè tèt li pa pwòp ni pou papa li, ni manman li, pou frè li, oswa pou sè li, lè yo ta mouri, akoz separasyon li pou Bondye poze sou tèt li.
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 Tout jou a separasyon li yo, li va sen a SENYÈ a.
You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
9 “‘Men si yon nonm mouri sibitman bò kote li, e li konwonpi tèt cheve ki se apa li a, alò, li va pase razwa sou tèt li nan jou ke li vin pwòp la. Li va pase razwa sou li nan setyèm jou a.
‘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 Konsa, nan dizyèm jou a, li va pote de toutrèl oswa de jenn pijon vè prèt la, nan pòtay tant asanble a.
The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
11 Prèt la va ofri youn kòm yon ofrann peche a, e lòt la kòm yon ofrann brile, epi fè ekspiyasyon pou li konsènan peche li, akoz mò a. Epi nan menm jou sa a, li va konsakre tèt li,
‘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 epi li va dedye a SENYÈ a jou li yo kòm yon Nazareyen, e li va mennen yon mal mouton nan laj 1 nan oswa plis kòm yon ofrann koupab. Men jou tan pase yo va vin anile akoz tan separasyon li an te vin konwonpi.
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 “‘Alò, sa se lalwa a yon Nazareyen. Lè jou separasyon yo vin fini, li va mennen ofrann nan nan pòtay a tant asanble a.
‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
14 Li va prezante ofrann li an bay SENYÈ a: yon mal mouton laj 1 nan san defo kòm yon ofrann brile a, yon mouton femèl laj 1 nan san defo kòm yon ofrann peche, ak yon belye san defo kòm yon ofrann lapè,
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 epi yon panye gato san ledven fèt avèk farin fen, mele avèk lwil, ofrann sereyal, ak galèt san ledven kouvri avèk lwil, ansanm avèk ofrann pa yo, ak ofrann bwason pa yo.
‘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 “‘Alò, prèt la va prezante yo devan SENYÈ a. Li va ofri ofrann peche pa li a avèk ofrann brile pa li a.
‘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 Li va osi ofri belye a kòm yon ofrann sakrifis lapè bay SENYÈ a, ansanm avèk yon panye gato san ledven. Prèt la va osi ofri ofrann sereyal li avèk ofrann bwason li.
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 “‘Alò, apre sa, Nazareyen an va pase razwa sou tèt cheve dedye pa li nan pòtay a tant asanble a. Li va pran cheve dedye a tèt li a, e mete li sou dife ki anba ofrann sakrifis lapè yo.
‘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 “‘Prèt la va pran zepòl belye a lè li fin bouyi, ak yon gato san ledven sòti nan panye a, yon galèt san ledven, e li va mete yo sou men a Nazareyen an lè l fin pase razwa a sou cheve dedye li a.
‘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 Konsa, prèt la va balanse yo kòm yon ofrann balanse vè lotèl la devan SENYÈ a. Li sen pou prèt la, ansanm avèk pwatrin ki ofri pa balanse a e kwis ki ofri pa leve anlè a. Apre Nazareyen an kapab bwè diven an.
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 “‘Sa se lalwa a Nazareyen ki fè ve ofrann li bay SENYÈ a, an akò avèk separasyon li, anplis tout lòt bagay ke li gen posibilite fè, selon ve ke li te fè a. Konsa, li va fè selon lalwa separasyon li an.’”
‘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 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 Pale avèk Aaron ak fis li yo pou di: ‘Konsa, nou va beni fis Israël yo. Nou va di yo:
“Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
24 SENYÈ a beni nou e kenbe nou;
‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
25 SENYÈ a fè limyè figi li limen sou nou; epi fè gras anvè nou;
and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
26 SENYÈ a fè vizaj li vin gade nou, e bannou lapè.’
and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
27 Se konsa yo va rele non Mwen pou fis Israël yo, e se konsa Mwen va beni yo.
Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
