Números, 6

1. Habló Yahveh a Moisés y le dijo:

1. And the LORD said to Moses,

2. Diles esto a los israelitas: «Si un hombre o mujer se decide a hacer voto de nazir, consagrándose a Yahveh,

2. "Say to the people of Israel, When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD,

3. se abstendrá de vino y de bebidas embriagantes. No beberá vinagre de vino ni de bebida embriagante; tampoco beberá ningún zumo de uvas, ni comerá uvas, frescas o pasas.

3. he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink, and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried.

4. En todo el tiempo de su nazireato no tomará nada de lo que se obtiene de la vid, desde el agraz hasta el orujo.

4. All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins.

5. En todos los días de su voto de nazireato no pasará navaja por su cabeza: hasta cumplirse los días por los que se consagró a Yahveh, será sagrado y se dejará crecer la cabellera.

5. "All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall come upon his head; until the time is completed for which he separates himself to the LORD, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of hair of his head grow long.

6. No se acercará, en todos los días de su nazireato en honor de Yahveh, a ningún cadáver.

6. "All the days that he separates himself to the LORD he shall not go near a dead body.

7. Ni por su padre, ni por su madre, ni por su hermano, ni por su hermana se manchará, en el caso de que murieran, pues lleva sobre su cabeza el nazireato de su Dios.

7. Neither for his father nor for his mother, nor for brother or sister, if they die, shall he make himself unclean; because his separation to God is upon his head.

8. Todos los días de su nazireato es un consagrado a Yahveh.

8. All the days of his separation he is holy to the LORD.

9. Si alguien muere de repente junto a él y mancha así su cabellera de nazir, se rapará la cabeza el día de su purificación, se la rapará el día séptimo.

9. "And if any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it.

10. El día octavo llevará un par de tórtolas o un par de pichones al sacerdote, a la entrada de la Tienda del Encuentro.

10. On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest to the door of the tent of meeting,

11. El sacerdote ofrecerá uno en sacrificio por el pecado y el otro en holocausto; y expiará por aquel hombre la falta contraída a causa del muerto. Aquel día consagrará su cabeza:

11. and the priest shall offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead body. And he shall consecrate his head that same day,

12. se consagrará a Yahveh por todo el tiempo de su nazireato y ofrecerá un cordero de un año como sacrificio de reparación. Los días anteriores son nulos, por haberse manchado su cabellera.

12. and separate himself to the LORD for the days of his separation, and bring a male lamb a year old for a guilt offering; but the former time shall be void, because his separation was defiled.

13. Este es el rito del nazir, para cuando se cumplan los días de su nazireato. Llevado hasta la entrada de la Tienda del Encuentro,

13. "And this is the law for the Nazirite, when the time of his separation has been completed: he shall be brought to the door of the tent of meeting,

14. presentará su ofrenda a Yahveh: un cordero de un año, sin defecto, en holocausto; una cordera de un año, sin defecto, en sacrificio por el pecado; un carnero sin defecto como sacrificio de comunión;

14. and he shall offer his gift to the LORD, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish as a sin offering, and one ram without blemish as a peace offering,

15. un canastillo de panes ázimos de flor de harina amasada con aceite y tortas sin levadura untadas en aceite, con sus correspondientes oblaciones y libaciones.

15. and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil, and their cereal offering and their drink offerings.

16. El sacerdote lo presentará delante de Yahveh y ofrecerá el sacrificio por el pecado y el holocausto del nazir.

16. And the priest shall present them before the LORD and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering,

17. Hará con el carnero un sacrificio de comunión a Yahveh, junto con el canastillo de ázimos, ofrecerá luego el sacerdote la correspondiente oblación y libación.

17. and he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall offer also its cereal offering and its drink offering.

18. Entonces el nazir se rapará su cabellera de nazir, a la entrada de la Tienda del Encuentro; tomara la cabellera de su nazireato y la echará al fuego que arde debajo del sacrificio de comunión.

18. And the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offering.

19. El sacerdote tomará un brazuelo, ya cocido, del carnero, un pan ázimo del canastillo y una torta sin levadura, y lo pondrá todo en manos del nazir, una vez que se haya rapado su cabellera de nazir.

19. And the priest shall take the shoulder of the ram, when it is boiled, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaven the hair of his consecration,

20. El sacerdote presentará todo ello como ofrenda mecida delante de Yahveh. Es cosa santa, pertenece al sacerdote, además del pecho mecido y de la pierna reservada. Luego el nazir beberá vino.

20. and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD; they are a holy portion for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is offered; and after that the Nazirite may drink wine.

21. Ese es el rito del nazir que, además de su nazireato, ha prometido una ofrenda a Yahveh (aparte de lo que sus posibilidades le permitan): a tenor del voto que prometió lo cumplirá además de lo prescrito para su nazireato.»

21. "This is the law for the Nazirite who takes a vow. His offering to the LORD shall be according to his vow as a Nazirite, apart from what else he can afford; in accordance with the vow which he takes, so shall he do according to the law for his separation as a Nazirite."

22. Habló Yahveh a Moisés y le dijo:

22. The LORD said to Moses,

23. Habla a Aarón y a sus hijos y diles: «Así habéis de bendecir a los israelitas. Les diréis:

23. "Say to Aaron and his sons, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them,

24. Yahveh te bendiga y te guarde;

24. The LORD bless you and keep you:

25. ilumine Yahveh su rostro sobre ti y te sea propicio;

25. The LORD make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you:

26. Yahveh te muestre su rostro y te conceda la paz.»

26. The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

27. Que invoquen así mi nombre sobre los israelitas y yo los bendeciré.»

27. "So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them."
