Numbers 6
1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
2 “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, ‘Bí ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin kan bá jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ pàtàkì, ẹ̀jẹ́ ìyara-ẹni-sọ́tọ̀ sí Olúwa nípa àìgé irun orí (Nasiri),
“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 irú ẹni bẹ́ẹ̀ gbọdọ̀ yàgò fún wáìnì tàbí ọtí líle, ọtí wáìnì kíkan àti àwọn ohun mímu mìíràn tó bá kan. Kò gbọdọ̀ mu èso àjàrà tàbí kí ó jẹ èso àjàrà tútù tàbí gbígbẹ.
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 Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ó sì jẹ́ Nasiri, ní kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ohunkóhun tí a fi èso àjàrà ṣe, ìbá à ṣe kóró tàbí èèpo rẹ̀.
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 “‘Ní gbogbo ìgbà ẹ̀jẹ́ ìyàsọ́tọ̀ rẹ̀ yìí, kí abẹ kankan má ṣe kàn án ní orí. Ó gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ mímọ́ títí tí àkókò ìyàsọ́tọ̀ rẹ̀ sí Olúwa yóò fi pé; ó gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ kí irun orí rẹ̀ gùn.
‘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 “‘Ní gbogbo àkókò ìyàsọ́tọ̀ rẹ̀ sí Olúwa kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ òkú ènìyàn.
And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
7 Ìbá à ṣe òkú baba, àti ìyá rẹ̀, ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin tàbí àbúrò rẹ̀, kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́ nítorí wọn, nítorí pé àmì ìyàsọ́tọ̀ rẹ̀ sí Ọlọ́run wà ní orí rẹ̀.
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 Ní gbogbo àsìkò ìyàsọ́tọ̀ rẹ̀ yìí, ó jẹ́ mímọ́ sí Olúwa.
You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
9 “‘Bí ẹnìkan bá kú ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní òjijì, tí ó sì ba irun rẹ̀ tó yà sọ́tọ̀ jẹ́; ó gbọdọ̀ gé irun rẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ rẹ̀ èyí tí í ṣe ọjọ́ keje.
‘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 Ní ọjọ́ kẹjọ, yóò mú àdàbà méjì àti ọmọ ẹyẹlé méjì wá sọ́dọ̀ àlùfáà ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé.
The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
11 Àlùfáà yóò fi ọ̀kan rú ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti èkejì fún ẹbọ sísun láti fi ṣe ètùtù fún un nítorí pé ó ti ṣẹ̀ nípa wíwà níbi tí òkú ènìyàn wà. Yóò sì ya orí rẹ̀ sí mímọ́ ní ọjọ́ náà gan an.
‘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 Ó gbọdọ̀ ya ara rẹ̀ sọ́tọ̀ sí Olúwa fún àkókò ìyàsọ́tọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì gbọdọ̀ mú akọ ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn ọlọ́dún kan wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ ẹ̀bi. Kò sì ní í ka àwọn ọjọ́ ìyàsọ́tọ̀ rẹ̀ ti tẹ́lẹ̀ nítorí pé ó tí ba ara rẹ̀ jẹ́ ní àkókò ìyàsọ́tọ̀ rẹ̀.
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 “‘Èyí ni òfin fún Nasiri nígbà tí àkókò ìyàsọ́tọ̀ rẹ̀ bá pé. Wọn ó mu wá sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé.
‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
14 Níbẹ̀ ni yóò ti mú ọrẹ wá fún Olúwa, akọ ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn ọlọ́dún kan tí kò ní àbùkù fún ẹbọ sísun àti ẹgbọrọ-àgùntàn ọlọ́dún kan, tí kò ní àbùkù fún ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, àgbò kan tí kò ní àbùkù fún ọrẹ àlàáfíà,
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 pẹ̀lú ọrẹ ohun jíjẹ àti ọrẹ ohun mímu, apẹ̀rẹ̀ àkàrà tí a kò fi ìwúkàrà ṣe, àkàrà tí a fi ìyẹ̀fun dáradára pò mọ́ òróró àti àkàrà fẹ́lẹ́fẹ́lẹ́ tí a fi òróró sọjọ̀ lé lórí.
‘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 “‘Àlùfáà yóò gbé gbogbo rẹ̀ wá síwájú Olúwa, yóò sì rú ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti ẹbọ sísun.
‘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 Àlùfáà yóò fi àgbò náà rú ẹbọ àlàáfíà sí Olúwa, pẹ̀lú apẹ̀rẹ̀ àkàrà tí kò ní ìwúkàrà; yóò rú ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ àti ọrẹ ohun mímu.
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 “‘Nígbà náà ni Nasiri náà yóò fá irun ìyàsọ́tọ̀ rẹ̀ ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé. Yóò fi irun náà sínú iná tó wà lábẹ́ ẹbọ àlàáfíà.
‘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 “‘Lẹ́yìn tí Nasiri bá ti fá irun ìyàsọ́tọ̀ rẹ̀ tan, àlùfáà yóò mú apá àgbò bíbọ̀, àkàrà aláìwú kan àti àkàrà fẹ́lẹ́fẹ́lẹ́ tí kò ní ìwúkàrà láti inú apẹ̀rẹ̀ yóò sì kó gbogbo rẹ̀ lé e lọ́wọ́.
‘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 Àlùfáà yóò fi gbogbo rẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ fífì, wọ́n jẹ́ mímọ́, wọ́n sì jẹ́ ti àlùfáà pẹ̀lú igẹ̀ tí a fì àti itan tí wọ́n mú wá. Lẹ́yìn èyí, Nasiri náà lè mu wáìnì.
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 “‘Èyí ni òfin Nasiri tó jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́, ọrẹ rẹ̀ sí Olúwa, yóò wà ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ìyàsọ́tọ̀ rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Nasiri, ní àfikún sí àwọn ohun mìíràn tó lágbára láti mú wá. Ó gbọdọ̀ mú ẹ̀jẹ́ tó jẹ́ ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin Nasiri.’”
‘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 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 “Sọ fún Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Báyìí ni kí ẹ ṣe máa súre fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Ẹ sọ fún wọn pé,
“Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
24 “‘“Kí Olúwa bùkún un yín, kí ó sì pa yín mọ́.
‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
25 Kí Olúwa kí o mú ojú rẹ̀ kí ó mọ́lẹ̀ sí i yín lára. Kí ó sì ṣàánú fún un yín.
and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
26 Kí Olúwa bojú wò yín, kí ó sì fún un yín ní àlàáfíà.”’
and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
27 “Báyìí ni wọn ó ṣe fi orúkọ mi sára àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, Èmi ó sì bùkún wọn.”
Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
