Nombres 6
1 Et l’Éternel parla à Moïse, disant:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
2 Parle aux fils d’Israël, et dis-leur: Si un homme ou une femme se consacre en faisant vœu de nazaréat, pour se séparer [afin d’être] à l’Éternel,
“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 il s’abstiendra de vin et de boisson forte, il ne boira ni vinaigre de vin, ni vinaigre de boisson forte, et il ne boira d’aucune liqueur de raisins, et ne mangera point de raisins, frais ou secs.
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 Pendant tous les jours de son nazaréat, il ne mangera rien de ce qui est fait de la vigne, depuis les pépins jusqu’à la peau.
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 Pendant tous les jours du vœu de son nazaréat, le rasoir ne passera pas sur sa tête; jusqu’à l’accomplissement des jours pour lesquels il s’est séparé [pour être] à l’Éternel, il sera saint; il laissera croître les boucles des cheveux de sa tête.
‘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 Pendant tous les jours de sa consécration à l’Éternel, il ne s’approchera d’aucune personne morte.
And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
7 Il ne se rendra pas impur pour son père, ni pour sa mère, [ni] pour son frère, ni pour sa sœur, quand ils mourront; car le nazaréat de son Dieu est sur sa tête.
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 Pendant tous les jours de son nazaréat, il est consacré à l’Éternel.
You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
9 Et si quelqu’un vient à mourir subitement auprès de lui, d’une manière imprévue, et qu’il ait rendu impure la tête de son nazaréat, il rasera sa tête au jour de sa purification; il la rasera le septième jour.
‘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 Et le huitième jour il apportera au sacrificateur deux tourterelles ou deux jeunes pigeons, à l’entrée de la tente d’assignation.
The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
11 Et le sacrificateur offrira l’un en sacrifice pour le péché, et l’autre en holocauste, et fera propitiation pour lui de ce qu’il a péché à l’occasion du mort; et il sanctifiera sa tête ce jour-là.
‘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 Et il consacrera à l’Éternel les jours de son nazaréat, et il amènera un agneau, âgé d’un an, en sacrifice pour le délit; et les premiers jours seront comptés pour rien, car il a rendu impur son nazaréat.
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 Et c’est ici la loi du nazaréen: au jour où les jours de son nazaréat seront accomplis, on le fera venir à l’entrée de la tente d’assignation;
‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
14 et il présentera son offrande à l’Éternel, un agneau mâle, âgé d’un an, sans défaut, pour holocauste, et un agneau femelle, âgé d’un an, sans défaut, en sacrifice pour le péché, et un bélier sans défaut, pour sacrifice de prospérités;
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 et une corbeille de pains sans levain, des gâteaux de fleur de farine pétris à l’huile, et des galettes sans levain ointes d’huile, et leur offrande de gâteau et leurs libations.
‘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 Et le sacrificateur les présentera devant l’Éternel, et il offrira son sacrifice pour le péché, et son holocauste;
‘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 et il offrira le bélier en sacrifice de prospérités à l’Éternel, avec la corbeille des pains sans levain; et le sacrificateur offrira son offrande de gâteau et sa libation.
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 Et le nazaréen rasera, à l’entrée de la tente d’assignation, la tête de son nazaréat, et il prendra les cheveux de la tête de son nazaréat et les mettra sur le feu qui est sous le sacrifice de prospérités.
‘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 Et le sacrificateur prendra l’épaule cuite du bélier, et un gâteau sans levain de la corbeille, et une galette sans levain, et il les mettra sur les paumes des mains du nazaréen, après qu’il aura fait raser [les cheveux de] son nazaréat.
‘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 Et le sacrificateur les tournoiera en offrande tournoyée devant l’Éternel: c’est une chose sainte qui appartient au sacrificateur, avec la poitrine tournoyée, et avec l’épaule élevée. Et après cela le nazaréen boira du vin.
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 Telle est la loi du nazaréen qui se sera voué, [telle] son offrande à l’Éternel pour son nazaréat, outre ce que sa main aura pu atteindre; selon son vœu qu’il aura fait, ainsi il fera, suivant la loi de son nazaréat.
‘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 Et l’Éternel parla à Moïse, disant:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 Parle à Aaron et à ses fils, disant: Vous bénirez ainsi les fils d’Israël, en leur disant:
“Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
24 L’Éternel te bénisse, et te garde!
‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
25 L’Éternel fasse lever la lumière de sa face sur toi et use de grâce envers toi!
and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
26 L’Éternel lève sa face sur toi et te donne la paix!
and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
27 Et ils mettront mon nom sur les fils d’Israël; et moi, je les bénirai.
Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
