| 1 El Señor habló a Moisés: | 1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: |
| 2 «Di esto a los hijos de Israel: “Si un hombre o una mujer se decide a hacer voto de nazir, consagrándose 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 se abstendrá de vino y de licores. No beberá vinagre de vino ni de licor; ni beberá zumo de uvas, ni comerá uvas, ni frescas ni pasas. | 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 Mientras dure su nazireato no probará nada de lo que se obtiene de la vid, ni el grano ni el pellejo. | 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 dure su voto de nazireato no pasará navaja por su cabeza: hasta que se cumpla el tiempo por el que se consagró al Señor está consagrado y se dejará crecer el pelo. | 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 En todo el tiempo de su nazireato en honor del Señor, no se acercará a ningún cadáver: | 6 During all the time of his consecration, he shall not enter because of a death, |
| 7 ni al de su padre, ni al de su madre, ni al de su hermano, ni al de su hermana; si mueren, no se contaminará con ellos, pues lleva sobre su cabeza el nazireato 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 Mientras dura su nazireato es un consagrado al Señor. | 8 During all the days of his separation, he shall be holy to the Lord. |
| 9 Si alguien muere de repente junto a él y se contamina así su cabeza de nazir, se afeitará la cabeza el día séptimo, que es el día de su purificación. | 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 El día octavo llevará al sacerdote, a la entrada de la Tienda del Encuentro, un par de tórtolas o un par de pichones. | 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 El sacerdote ofrecerá uno en sacrificio expiatorio y el otro en holocausto; y expiará por la falta que contrajo aquel hombre a causa del cadáver. Aquel día consagrará 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 y se consagrará al Señor por todo el tiempo de su nazireato. Ofrecerá un cordero de un año como sacrificio de reparación. Los días anteriores son nulos, porque había contaminado su nazireato. | 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 rito del nazir, para cuando se cumpla el tiempo de su nazireato. Irá a la entrada de la Tienda 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 presentará como ofrenda al Señor un cordero de un año, sin defecto, para el holocausto; una cordera de un año, sin defecto, para el sacrificio expiatorio; y un carnero sin defecto para el sacrificio 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 Además, un canastillo de panes ácimos de flor de harina amasada con aceite y tortas sin levadura untadas en aceite, con sus correspondientes oblaciones y libaciones. | 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 lo presentará al Señor y ofrecerá el sacrificio expiatorio y el holocausto del nazir. | 16 And the priest shall offer them before the Lord, and he shall perform both the sin offering and the holocaust. |
| 17 Ofrecerá al Señor el carnero como sacrificio de comunión, junto con el canastillo de panes ácimos. El sacerdote ofrecerá luego la oblación y la libación correspondientes. | 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 nazir se afeitará su cabeza de nazir, a la entrada de la Tienda del Encuentro; tomará la cabellera de su nazireato y la echará al 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 un brazuelo, ya cocido, del carnero, un pan ácimo del canastillo y una torta sin levadura, y lo pondrá todo en manos del nazir, una vez que este se haya afeitado su cabeza de nazir. | 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 El sacerdote balanceará todo ello ritualmente delante del Señor. Es cosa santa, que pertenece al sacerdote, además del pecho balanceado ritualmente y de la pierna reservada. Luego el nazir beberá 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 del nazir que, además del nazireato, ha prometido con voto una ofrenda al Señor, dentro de sus posibilidades: cumplirá exactamente el voto que prometió además del 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 habló a Moisés: | 22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: |
| 23 «Di a Aarón y a sus hijos, esta es la fórmula con la que bendeciréis a los hijos de Israel: | 23 “Say to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: |
| 24 “El Señor te bendiga y te proteja, | 24 ‘May the Lord bless you and keep you. |
| 25 ilumine su rostro sobre ti y te conceda su favor. | 25 May the Lord reveal his face to you and take pity on you. |
| 26 El Señor te muestre su rostro y te conceda la paz”. | 26 May the Lord turn his countenance toward you and grant peace to you.’ |
| 27 Así invocarán mi nombre sobre los hijos de Israel y yo los bendeciré». | 27 And they shall invoke my name over the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.” |
