Números 6
1 Yahvé habló a Moisés, diciendo:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
2 “Habla a los hijos de Israel y diles: ‘Cuando un hombre o una mujer haga un voto especial, el voto de nazareo, para consagrarse a Yahvé,
“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 se separará del vino y de la bebida fuerte. No beberá vinagre de vino, ni vinagre de bebida fermentada, ni beberá jugo de uva, ni comerá uvas frescas o secas.
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 Durante todos los días de su consagración, no comerá nada que esté hecho de la vid, desde las semillas hasta los hollejos.
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 “‘Durante todos los días de su voto de separación, ninguna navaja se acercará a su cabeza, hasta que se cumplan los días en que se separa de Yahvé. Será santo. Dejará crecer los mechones de su cabeza.
‘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 “‘Todos los días que se consagre de Yahvé no se acercará a un cadáver.
And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
7 No se contaminará por su padre, ni por su madre, ni por su hermano, ni por su hermana, cuando mueran, porque su separación a Dios está sobre su cabeza.
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 Todos los días de su consagración es santo para Yahvé.
You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
9 “‘Si alguno muere muy repentinamente junto a él, y contamina la cabeza de su consagración, entonces se afeitará la cabeza en el día de su purificación. Al séptimo día se la afeitará.
‘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 Al octavo día traerá dos tórtolas o dos pichones al sacerdote, a la puerta de la Tienda de reunión.
The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
11 El sacerdote ofrecerá uno como ofrenda por el pecado y el otro como holocausto, y hará expiación por él, porque pecó por causa de la muerte, y santificará su cabeza ese mismo día.
‘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 Separará para Yahvé los días de su consagración, y traerá un cordero macho de un año como ofrenda por la culpa; pero los días anteriores serán anulados, porque su consagración fue contaminada.
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 “‘Esta es la ley del nazireo: cuando se cumplan los días de su separación, será llevado a la puerta de la Tienda del Encuentro,
‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
14 y ofrecerá su ofrenda a Yahvé: un cordero macho de un año sin defecto para el holocausto, una oveja de un año sin defecto para la ofrenda por el pecado, un carnero sin defecto para las ofrendas de paz,
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 una cesta de panes sin levadura, tortas de harina fina mezcladas con aceite, y obleas sin levadura untadas con aceite con su ofrenda y sus libaciones.
‘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 El sacerdote los presentará ante Yahvé, y ofrecerá su ofrenda por el pecado y su holocausto.
‘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 Ofrecerá el carnero como sacrificio de paz a Yahvé, con el cesto de los panes sin levadura. El sacerdote ofrecerá también su ofrenda y su libación.
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 El nazareo se afeitará la cabeza de su consagración a la puerta de la Tienda del Encuentro, tomará el pelo de la cabeza de su separación y lo pondrá sobre el fuego que está debajo del sacrificio de paz.
‘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 El sacerdote tomará la espaldilla cocida del carnero, una torta sin levadura del canasto y una oblea sin levadura, y las pondrá sobre las manos del nazareo después de que haya afeitado la cabeza de su consagración;
‘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 y el sacerdote las agitará como ofrenda mecida ante Yahvé. Son sagrados para el sacerdote, junto con el pecho que se agita y el muslo que se ofrece. Después, el nazareo podrá beber vino.
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 “‘Esta es la ley del nazareo que hace voto y de su ofrenda a Yahvé por su consagración, además de lo que pueda pagar. Según su voto que hace, así debe hacer según la ley de su consagración’”.
‘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 Yahvé habló a Moisés diciendo:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 “Habla a Aarón y a sus hijos, diciendo: ‘Así bendecirás a los hijos de Israel’. Les dirás,
“Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
24 ‘Que el Señor te bendiga y te guarde.
‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
25 Yahvé hace brillar su rostro sobre ti, y ser amable contigo.
and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
26 Yahvé levanta su rostro hacia ti, y te dará la paz”.
and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
27 “Así pondrán mi nombre sobre los hijos de Israel, y los bendeciré”.
Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
