Números 6

1 Y él Señor dijo a Moisés:

Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:

2 Di a los hijos de Israel: Si un hombre o una mujer hace un juramento para mantenerse separado, voto de nazareo; y entregarse 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 Debe mantenerse alejado del vino y las bebidas fuertes, y no debe tomar vino mezclado o bebida fuerte o cualquier bebida hecha de uvas, u otras uvas, verdes 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 Siempre que esté separado, no puede tomar nada hecho de la vid, desde sus semillas hasta su piel.

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 que esté bajo su juramento no permita que ninguna navaja sea sobre su cabeza; hasta que los días mientras él está separado terminen, él es santo y su cabello no puede ser cortado.

‘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 Mientras esté separado, no podrá acercarse a ningún cadáver.

And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.

7 No puede ser inmundo por su padre o su madre, su hermana o su hermano, si les llega la muerte; porque está bajo un juramento de mantenerse separado para Dios.

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 que él está separado, él es santo para el Señor.

You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.

9 Si la muerte llega repentinamente a un hombre a su lado, su cabeza es contaminada, deje que se le corte el pelo el día en que se limpie, el séptimo día.

‘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 al octavo día, que se dirija al sacerdote, a la puerta de la tienda de la reunión, con dos palomas o dos tórtolas;

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 dará uno por la ofrenda por el pecado y el otro por la ofrenda quemada para quitar el pecado que vino sobre él a causa de los muertos, y santificara la 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 Y le dará al Señor sus días de estar separados, ofreciendo un cordero del primer año como ofrenda por la culpa del pecado: pero los días anteriores serán anulados, porque se volvió impuro 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 Y esta es la ley para el que está separado, cuando se terminan los días necesarios: debe venir a la puerta de la tienda de la reunión,

‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent

14 Ofrecerá su ofrenda al Señor; un cordero del primer año, sin defecto, para una ofrenda quemada, y un cordero hembra del primer año, sin defecto, para la ofrenda por el pecado, y un macho oveja, 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 Y una canasta de pan sin levadura, panes de la mejor harina mezclada con aceite, y panes delgados sin levadura cubiertos de aceite, con su ofrenda de comida y ofrendas de bebidas.

‘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 los llevará ante el Señor, y hará 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 Dando las ovejas de las ofrendas de paz, con la canasta de pan sin levadura; y al mismo tiempo, el sacerdote hará su ofrenda de comida y su ofrenda de bebida.

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 Dejen que su cabello largo, la señal de su juramento, se corte en la puerta de la Tienda de la reunión, y que lo ponga en el fuego donde arden las ofrendas 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 Y el sacerdote sacará de la canasta la pata cocida de la oveja y una torta sin levadura y una torta fina, y las pondrá en las manos del nazareo después de que se haya cortado su cabello.

‘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 Meciéndose como una ofrenda mecida ante el Señor; esto es santo para el sacerdote, junto con el pecho y la pierna levantada; Después de eso, el hombre puede tomar 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 para el que hace un juramento de mantenerse separado, y por su ofrenda al Señor por ese motivo, además de lo que puede obtener; esta es la ley de su juramento, que tendrá que cumplir.

‘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 él Señor dijo a Moisés:

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

23 Diles a Aarón y a sus hijos: Estas son las palabras de bendición que ustedes deben usar para bendecir a los hijos de Israel; diles a ellos,

“Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,

24 Que el Señor te envíe su bendición y te guarde:

‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,

25 Que la luz del rostro del Señor brille sobre ti y tenga de ti misericordia;

and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,

26 Que él favor del Señor descanse sobre ti y que te dé 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 les daré mi bendición.

Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
