Números 6

EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 El Señor dijo a Moisés:	1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Habla en estos términos a los israelitas: Si alguien, sea hombre o mujer, hace un voto especial –el voto de nazireo– con el fin de consagrarse al Señor,	2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: A man or a woman, when they have made a vow so that they may be sanctified, and when they are willing to consecrate themselves to the Lord,
3 deberá abstenerse del vino y de cualquier otra bebida embriagante. Tampoco beberá vinagre de vino o de bebida embriagante, ni beberá jugo de uvas, ni comerá uvas maduras o secas.	3 shall abstain from wine and from anything which is able to inebriate. They shall not drink vinegar made from wine or from any other drink, nor anything pressed from the grape. They shall not eat grapes, neither fresh nor dried.
4 Durante todo el tiempo de su nazireato, no comerá ningún producto de la cepa de la vid, ni siquiera las semillas o la cáscara.	4 During all the days that they are consecrated to the Lord by vow, they shall not eat whatever may be from the vineyard, from raisins, even to grape seeds.
5 Mientras esté consagrado por el voto, ninguna navaja tocará su cabeza. Hasta que se cumpla el plazo de su voto al Señor, estará consagrado y se dejará crecer el cabello.	5 During all the time of his separation, no razor shall pass over his head, even until the completion of the day when he is consecrated to the Lord. He shall be holy, letting the hair of his head grow long.
6 Durante todo el tiempo de su consagración al Señor, no se acercará a ningún muerto.	6 During all the time of his consecration, he shall not enter because of a death,
7 Aunque mueran su padre, su madre, su hermano o su hermana, no incurrirá en impureza a causa de ellos, porque él lleva sobre su cabeza la consagración de su Dios.	7 nor shall he contaminate himself, even over the funeral of his father, or his mother, or his brother, or his sister. For the consecration of his God is upon his head.
8 Durante todo el tiempo de su nazireato, es un consagrado al Señor.	8 During all the days of his separation, he shall be holy to the Lord.
9 Si una persona muere repentinamente cerca de él, haciendo impuro su cabello consagrado, se cortará el cabello el día de su purificación, es decir, el séptimo día.	9 But if anyone will have died unexpectedly before him, the head of his consecration shall be polluted, and he shall shave it in that very place, on the same day of his purification, and again on the seventh day.
10 Al octavo día, presentará al sacerdote, la entrada de la Carpa del Encuentro, dos torcazas o dos pichones de paloma.	10 Then, on the eighth day, he shall offer two turtledoves or two young pigeons, to the priest at the entrance to the covenant of the testimony.
11 Entonces el sacerdote los ofrecerá, uno como sacrificio por el pecado y el otro como holocausto, y practicará el rito de expiación en favor de ese hombre, por la falta en que incurrió a causa del cadáver. Ese mismo día volverá a consagrar su cabeza:	11 And the priest shall effect one for sin, and the other as a holocaust, and he shall pray for him, because he has sinned on account of the dead. And he shall sanctify his head on that day.
12 se consagrará al Señor por el tiempo de su nazireato y presentará un cordero de un año como sacrificio de reparación. El tiempo anterior no se tomará en cuenta, porque su cabello consagrado se había vuelto impuro.	12 And he shall consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation, offering a one-year-old lamb for sin, yet in such a manner that the former days will be made null and void, because his sanctification was polluted.
13 Este es el ritual para el nazireo: una vez cumplido el tiempo de nazireato, será conducido a la entrada de la Carpa del Encuentro,	13 This is the law of consecration. When the days that he had decreed by vow have been completed, he shall bring him to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant,
14 y allí presentará, como ofrenda al Señor, dos corderos –uno macho y una hembra– de un año y sin defecto, el primero para un holocausto y el segundo para un sacrificio por el pecado; un carnero sin defecto para un sacrifico de comunión;	14 and he shall offer his oblation to the Lord: an immaculate one-year-old male lamb as a holocaust, and an immaculate one-year-old female lamb for sin, and an immaculate ram, a peace-offering victim,
15 una cesta con tortas de harina de la mejor calidad, sin levadura y amasadas con aceite, y galletas sin levadura untadas con aceite, con las oblaciones y libaciones correspondientes.	15 also, a basket of unleavened bread, which has been sprinkled with oil, and cakes without leaven, anointed with oil, as well as the libations of each one.
16 El sacerdote presentará todo esto delante del Señor, y ofrecerá el sacrificio por el pecado y el holocausto.	16 And the priest shall offer them before the Lord, and he shall perform both the sin offering and the holocaust.
17 Luego ofrecerá el carnero al Señor como sacrificio de comunión, junto con la cesta de los ácimos, y también ofrecerá las oblaciones y las libaciones.	17 Yet truly, the ram he shall immolate as a peace-offering victim to the Lord, offering at the same time the basket of unleavened bread, and the libations which are required by custom.
18 Entonces el nazireo se cortará el cabello consagrado, a la entregada de la Carpa del Encuentro, y lo echará en el fuego que arde debajo del sacrificio de comunión.	18 Then the Nazarite shall be shaved of the long hair of his consecration, before the door of the tabernacle of the covenant. And he shall take his hair, and he shall place it upon the fire, which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
19 El sacerdote tomará la espalda ya cocida del carnero, una torta sin levadura de la cesta y una galleta sin levadura, y las pondrá en las manos del nazireo, después que este se haya cortado el cabello.	19 And he shall take the cooked shoulder of the ram, and one twist of bread without leaven from the basket, and one unleavened cake, and he shall deliver them into the hands of the Nazarite, after his head has been shaven.
20 Luego hará el gesto de presentación delante del Señor, y todo esto será una cosa sagrada, destinada al sacerdote, además del pecho y la pata. Después, el nazireo podrá vino.	20 And receiving them again from him, he shall elevate them in the sight of the Lord. And having been sanctified, these shall be for the priest, as also the breast, which was ordered to be separated, and the leg. After this, the Nazarite is able to drink wine.
21 Esta es la ley concerniente al nazireo. Si además de su nazireato, promete con voto al Señor una ofrenda personal –según se lo permitan sus medios– cumplirá el voto que hizo, además de lo que establece la ley sobre nazireato.	21 This is the law of the Nazarite, when he has vowed his oblation to the Lord in the time of his consecration, aside from those things which his hand shall find. According to what he had vowed in his mind, so shall he do, to the perfection of his sanctification.”
22 El Señor dijo a Moisés:	22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23 Habla en estos términos a Aarón y a sus hijos: Así bendecirán a los israelitas. Ustedes les dirán:	23 “Say to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them:
24 Que el Señor te bendiga y te proteja.	24 ‘May the Lord bless you and keep you.
25 Que el Señor haga brillar su rostro sobre ti y muestre su gracia.	25 May the Lord reveal his face to you and take pity on you.
26 Que el Señor te descubra su rostro y te conceda la paz.	26 May the Lord turn his countenance toward you and grant peace to you.’
27 Que ellos invoquen mi Nombre sobre los israelitas, y yo los bendeciré.	27 And they shall invoke my name over the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.”
