< Numbers 6 >

1 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 “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”].
-Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo: Lè yon gason osinon yon fanm fè yon ve espesyal, ve nazareyen yo, pou li viv apa nèt pou Seyè a,
3 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.
se pou l' rete san li pa bwè diven ni okenn bweson ki gen alkòl ladan l'. Ni li p'ap bwè vinèg ki fèt ak diven ni okenn lòt bweson fèmante, ni li p'ap bwè ji rezen. Ata rezen fre osinon rezen chèch li p'ap ka manje.
4 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.
Pandan tout tan l'ap viv apa pou Bondye tankou yon nazareyen an, li pa gen dwa manje anyen ki soti nan pye rezen, pa menm grenn rezen an ak po a.
5 ‘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.
Pandan tout tan li fè ve pou l' viv apa pou Bondye tankou yon nazareyen an, li pa gen dwa koupe cheve nan tèt li, ni fè labab. Se pou l' kenbe ve a pandan tout tan l'ap viv apa nèt pou Bondye a, jouk lè tan ve a bout. Se pou l' kite cheve nan tèt li pouse byen long san li pa janm koupe yo.
6 And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
Pandan tout tan l'ap viv apa pou Bondye a, piga li janm pwoche bò yon kadav moun mouri,
7 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.
pa menm kadav papa l', osinon kadav manman l', kadav frè l', osinon kadav sè li. Li pa fèt pou li pwoche bò kadav moun mouri pou li pa mete tèt li nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka sèvi Bondye, paske avèk cheve ki nan tèt l' a, sa vle di l'ap viv apa nèt pou Bondye.
8 You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
Pandan tout tan l'ap viv apa pou Bondye a, se pou l' rete apa nèt pou Bondye.
9 ‘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.
Si yon moun rete konsa, li tonbe li mouri devan yon nazareyen, devan yon moun ki t'ap viv apa nèt pou Seyè a san koupe cheve nan tèt li, nazareyen an ap twouve l' nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka sèvi Bondye ankò. Se pou l' tann sèt jou anvan l'a nan kondisyon pou l' ka fè sèvis Bondye ankò. Jou sa a, l'a koupe tout cheve nan tèt li.
10 The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Sou wityèm jou a, l'a pran de toutrèl osinon de pijon, l'a pote yo bay prèt la devan pòt Tant Randevou a.
11 ‘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.
Prèt la va ofri yo bay Seyè a, yonn pou repare sa li te fè ki mal la, lòt la pou yo boule sou lotèl la. Se konsa l'a ofri bèt pou yo touye pou peche moun lan fè a akòz kontak li te gen avèk kadav moun mouri a.
12 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.
Nonm lan va refè ve li te fè pou l' viv apa nèt pou Bondye a. Tou sa li te fè anvan an pa vo anyen ankò, paske ve li te fè a gate. Epi l'a pote yon ti mouton ki poko gen ennan pou yo ofri pou repare sa li te fè ki mal la.
13 ‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
Men sèvis yon nazareyen va fè lè tan pou l' kenbe ve l' te fè a bout. Y'a mennen l' devan pòt Tant Randevou a.
14 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.
L'a ofri twa bèt ki san okenn enfimite bay Seyè a: yon ti belye mouton ki poko gen ennan, yon ti fenmèl mouton ki poko gen ennan ak yon gwo belye mouton. Ti belye mouton an va sèvi ofrann pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, ti fenmèl mouton va sèvi ofrann pou wete peche, ak gwo belye mouton an va sèvi ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi.
15 ‘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.
L'a ofri tou yon panyen pen san ledven: pen gwo mit fèt avèk farin frans melanje ak lwil oliv ak ti pen plat ak lwil pase sou yo, ansanm ak ofrann grenn jaden ak ofrann diven ki mache ak yo.
16 ‘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.
Prèt la va ofri yo pou li devan lotèl Seyè a. L'a fè sèvis pou repare sa moun lan te fè ki mal la, epi l'a boule ofrann l' a nan dife.
17 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.
L'a touye belye mouton an, l'a ofri l' pou di Bondye mèsi ansanm ak panyen pen san ledven an. Lèfini, l'a fè ofrann grenn jaden ak ofrann diven ki mache ak yo a.
18 ‘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.
Lè sa a, nazareyen an va koupe tout cheve nan tèt li devan pòt Tant Randevou a, l'a pran cheve yo, l'a mete yo nan dife kote ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi a ap boule.
19 ‘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.
Apre nazareyen an fin fè sa, prèt la va pran jigo mouton yo te kwit la, yon pen gwo mit ak yon ti pen plat nan panyen an, l'a mete tou sa nan pla men nazareyen an.
20 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.
Lèfini, prèt la va balanse yo tankou yon ofrann devan Seyè a: pòsyon sa yo va yon bagay yo mete apa pou Bondye, y'a rete pou prèt la anplis vyann pwatrin lan ak jigo ki te pou li deja a. Apre sa, nazareyen an gen dwa bwè diven.
21 ‘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.’”
Se tout regleman yo sa pou moun ki fè ve nazareyen yo swiv. Y'a fè ofrann yo bay Seyè a dapre ve yo te fè pou yo viv apa nèt pou Seyè a. Men, si yon moun pwomèt pou li ofri lòt bagay anplis sa yo mande l' la a, se pou l' fè tou sa li te pwomèt pou l' fè a.
22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa:
23 “Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
-Pale ak Arawon ansanm ak pitit gason l' yo. W'a di yo men sa pou nou di lè n'ap beni pèp Izrayèl la:
24 ‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
Se pou Seyè a beni nou, se pou l' pran swen nou.
25 and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
Se pou Seyè a fè nou santi li la avèk nou, se pou l' gen pitye pou nou.
26 and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
Se pou Seyè a fè nou wè jan li renmen nou, se pou l' ban nou kè poze.
27 Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
Se konsa y'a nonmen non m', y'a lapriyè nan pye m' pou pèp Izrayèl la, epi m'a beni yo.
