Números 6
1 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
2 Habla a los hijos de Israel, y diles: El hombre, o la mujer, cuando se apartare haciendo voto de Nazareo ( apartado ), para dedicarse al SEÑOR,
“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 abstendrá de vino y de sidra; vinagre de vino, ni vinagre de sidra no beberá, ni beberá algún licor de uvas, ni tampoco comerá uvas frescas ni 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 Todo el tiempo de su nazareato, de todo lo que se hace de vid de vino, desde los granillos hasta el hollejo, no comerá.
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 Todo el tiempo del voto de su nazareato no pasará navaja sobre su cabeza, hasta que sean cumplidos los días de su apartamiento al SEÑOR, santo será; dejará crecer las guedejas del cabello 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 Todo el tiempo que se apartare al SEÑOR, no entrará a persona muerta.
And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
7 Por su padre, ni por su madre, por su hermano, ni por su hermana, no se contaminará con ellos cuando murieren; porque consagración de su Dios tiene 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 Todo el tiempo de su nazareato, será santo al SEÑOR.
You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
9 Y si alguno muriere muy de repente junto a él, contaminará la cabeza de su nazareato; por tanto el día de su purificación raerá su cabeza; al séptimo día la raerá.
‘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 Y el día octavo traerá dos tórtolas o dos palominos al sacerdote, a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio;
The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
11 y el sacerdote hará el uno en expiación, y el otro en holocausto; y lo expiará de lo que pecó sobre el muerto, y santificará su cabeza en aquel 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 Y consagrará al SEÑOR los días de su nazareato, y traerá un cordero de un año en expiación por la culpa; y los días primeros serán anulados, por cuanto fue contaminado su nazareato.
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, pues, la ley del Nazareo; el día que se cumpliere el tiempo de su nazareato: Vendrá a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio;
‘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 al SEÑOR, un cordero de un año sin tacha en holocausto, y una cordera de un año sin tacha en expiación, y un carnero sin tacha en sacrificio 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 además un canastillo de panes cenceños, tortas de flor de harina amasadas con aceite, y hojaldres cenceñas untadas con aceite, y su presente, 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 Y el sacerdote lo ofrecerá delante del SEÑOR, y hará su expiación 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 y ofrecerá el carnero en sacrificio de paz al SEÑOR, con el canastillo de los panes cenceños; ofrecerá asimismo el sacerdote su presente, y sus libaciones.
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 Entonces el Nazareo raerá a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio la cabeza de su nazareato, y tomará los cabellos de la cabeza de su nazareato, y los pondrá sobre el fuego que está debajo del sacrificio de la 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 Después tomará el sacerdote la espaldilla cocida del carnero, y una torta sin levadura del canastillo, y una hojaldre sin levadura, y las pondrá sobre las manos del Nazareo, después que fuere raído su nazareato;
‘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 mecerá aquello, ofrenda mecida delante del SEÑOR; lo cual será cosa santa del sacerdote, a más del pecho mecido y de la espaldilla de la apartada; y después beberá vino el Nazareo.
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 hiciere voto de su ofrenda al SEÑOR por su nazareato, a más de lo que sus recursos le permitieren; según el voto que hiciere, así hará, conforme a la ley de su nazareato.
‘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 Y el SEÑOR habló a Moisés, diciendo:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 Habla a Aarón y a sus hijos, y diles: Así bendeciréis a los hijos de Israel, diciéndoles:
“Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
24 el SEÑOR te bendiga, y te guarde;
‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
25 el SEÑOR haga resplandecer su rostro sobre ti, y tenga de ti misericordia;
and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
26 el SEÑOR alce a ti su rostro, y ponga en ti paz.
and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
27 Y pondrán mi nombre sobre los hijos de Israel, y yo los bendeciré.
Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
