Leviticus 14
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Le Seigneur parla encore à Moïse, disant:
2 “This is a law of the leper, in the day of his cleansing, that he has been brought to the priest,
Voici le rite du lépreux, quand il doit être purifié: il sera amené au prêtre;
3 and the priest has gone out to the outside of the camp, and the priest has seen, and behold, the plague of leprosy has ceased from the leper,
Qui, étant sorti du camp, lorsqu’il trouvera que la lèpre est guérie,
4 and the priest has commanded, and he has taken for him who is to be cleansed, two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
Ordonnera à celui qui est purifié qu’il offre pour lui deux passereaux vivants, dont il est permis de manger, du bois de cèdre, de l’écarlate et de l’hysope.
5 And the priest has commanded, and he has slaughtered one bird on an earthen vessel, over running water;
Il commandera aussi que l’un des passereaux soit immolé dans un vase de terre sur des eaux vives;
6 [as for] the living bird, he takes it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and has dipped them and the living bird in the blood of the slaughtered bird, over the running water,
Mais l’autre vivant, il le trempera avec le bois de cèdre, l’écarlate et l’hysope dans le sang du passereau immolé,
7 and he has sprinkled on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and has pronounced him clean, and has sent out the living bird over the face of the field.
Dont il aspergera sept fois celui qui doit être purifié, afin qu’il soit légitimement purifié; puis il lâchera le passereau vivant, pour qu’il s’envole dans la campagne.
8 And he who is to be cleansed has washed his garments, and has shaved all his hair, and has bathed with water, and has been clean, and afterward he comes into the camp, and has dwelt at the outside of his tent [for] seven days.
Et lorsque l’homme aura lavé ses vêtements, il rasera tous les poils de son corps et il sera lavé dans l’eau; et étant purifié, il entrera dans le camp, de telle sorte seulement qu’il demeurera hors de sa tente pendant sept jours;
9 And it has been, on the seventh day—he shaves all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shaves, and he has washed his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and has been clean.
Et au septième jour il rasera les cheveux de sa tête, sa barbe, ses sourcils et les poils de tout le corps. Ensuite, les vêtements et le corps lavés une seconde fois;
10 And on the eighth day he takes two lambs, perfect ones, and one ewe-lamb, daughter of a year, a perfect one, and three-tenth parts of flour [for] a present, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.
Au huitième jour, il prendra deux agneaux sans tache, et une brebis d’un an sans tache, et trois décimes de fleur de farine qui soit arrosée d’huile pour un sacrifice, et séparément un setier d’huile.
11 And the priest who is cleansing has caused the man who is to be cleansed to stand with them before YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting,
Et lorsque le prêtre, purifiant l’homme, l’aura présenté, ainsi que toutes ces choses devant le Seigneur à la porte du tabernacle de témoignage,
12 and the priest has taken one male lamb, and has brought it near for a guilt-offering, also the log of oil, and has waved them [as] a wave-offering before YHWH.
Il prendra un agneau et l’offrira pour le défit, et un setier d’huile; et toutes ces choses offertes devant le Seigneur,
13 And he has slaughtered the lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the holy place; for like the sin-offering, the guilt-offering is for the priest; it [is] most holy.
Il immolera l’agneau où a coutume d’être immolée l’hostie pour le péché ainsi que l’holocauste, c’est-à-dire dans le lieu saint. Car comme dans le sacrifice pour le péché, de même aussi dans le sacrifice pour l’offense, c’est au prêtre qu’appartient l’hostie: elle est très sainte.
14 And the priest has taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest has put [it] on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot;
Or le prêtre prenant du sang de l’hostie qui a été immolée pour le délit, le mettra sur l’extrémité de l’oreille droite de celui qui est purifié, et sur les pouces de la main droite et du pied;
15 and the priest has taken of the log of oil, and has poured [it] on the left palm of the priest,
Ensuite il versera du setier d’huile dans sa main gauche,
16 and the priest has dipped his right finger in the oil which [is] on his left palm, and has sprinkled of the oil with his finger seven times before YHWH.
Trempera son doigt droit dans cette huile, et fera l’aspersion devant le Seigneur sept fois.
17 And of the remainder of the oil which [is] on his palm, the priest puts [it] on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the blood of the guilt-offering;
Quant à ce qui sera de reste de l’huile en sa main gauche, il le répandra sur l’extrémité de l’oreille droite de celui qui est purifié, sur les pouces de la main et du pied droits, et sur le sang qui a été répandu pour le délit,
18 and the remnant of the oil which [is] on the palm of the priest, he puts [it] on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest has made atonement for him before YHWH.
Et sur la tête de l’homme,
19 And the priest has made the sin-offering, and has made atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness, and afterward he slaughters the burnt-offering;
Et il priera pour lui devant le Seigneur, et il offrira le sacrifice pour le péché: alors il immolera l’holocauste,
20 and the priest has caused the burnt-offering to ascend, also the present, on the altar, and the priest has made atonement for him, and he has been clean.
Et il le mettra sur l’autel avec ses libations, et l’homme sera purifié selon les rites.
21 And if he [is] poor, and his hand is not reaching [these things], then he has taken one lamb [for] a guilt-offering, for a wave-offering, to make atonement for him, and one-tenth part of flour mixed with oil for a present, and a log of oil,
Que s’il est pauvre et que sa main ne puisse trouver ce qui a été dit, il prendra un agneau en oblation pour le délit, afin que le prêtre prie pour lui, une dixième partie de fleur de farine arrosée d’huile pour un sacrifice, et un setier d’huile,
22 and two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, which his hand reaches to, and one has been a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering;
Et deux tourterelles ou bien deux petits de colombe, dont l’un soit pour le péché et l’autre pour un holocauste;
23 and he has brought them in on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, before YHWH.
Et au huitième jour de sa purification, il les présentera au prêtre à la porte du tabernacle de témoignage devant le Seigneur;
24 And the priest has taken the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest has waved them [as] a wave-offering before YHWH;
Alors le prêtre, recevant l’agneau pour le délit et le setier d’huile, les élèvera ensemble;
25 and he has slaughtered the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the priest has taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and has put [it] on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot;
Puis, l’agneau immolé, il mettra de son sang sur l’extrémité de l’oreille droite de celui qui est purifié, et sur les pouces de sa main et de son pied droits;
26 and the priest pours of the oil on the left palm of the priest;
Il versera aussi une partie de l’huile dans sa main gauche,
27 and the priest has sprinkled with his right finger of the oil which [is] on his left palm, seven times before YHWH.
Et, y trempant le doigt de la main droite, il fera l’aspersion sept fois devant le Seigneur:
28 And the priest has put of the oil which [is] on his palm, on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt-offering;
Et il touchera l’extrémité de l’oreille droite de celui qui est purifié, et les pouces de la main et du pied droits, à l’endroit qui avait été arrosé au sang répandu pour le délit.
29 and he puts the remnant of the oil which [is] on the palm of the priest on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him, before YHWH.
Mais le reste de l’huile, qui est dans sa main gauche, il le mettra sur la tête du purifié, afin qu’il fléchisse pour lui le Seigneur.
30 And he has made one of the turtle-doves or of the young pigeons (from that which his hand reaches to,
Il offrira aussi une tourterelle ou un petit de colombe;
31 [even] that which his hand reaches to), one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering, besides the present, and the priest has made atonement for him who is to be cleansed before YHWH.
L’un pour l’offense, et l’autre pour un holocauste avec ses libations.
32 This [is] a law of him in whom [is] a plague of leprosy, whose hand does not reach to his cleansing.”
Tel est le sacrifice du lépreux qui ne peut pas avoir toutes les choses pour sa purification.
33 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Le Seigneur parla encore à Moïse et à Aaron, disant:
34 “When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving to you for a possession, and I have put a plague of leprosy in a house [in] the land of your possession,
Lorsque vous serez entrés dans la terre de Chanaan que je vous donnerai moi-même en possession, s’il se trouve une plaie de lèpre dans quelque maison,
35 then he whose the house [is] has come in and declared [it] to the priest, saying, Some plague has appeared to me in the house;
Celui à qui appartient la maison ira, l’annonçant au prêtre, et il dira: Il me semble qu’il y a comme une plaie de lèpre dans ma maison.
36 and the priest has commanded, and they have prepared the house before the priest comes in to see the plague (that all which [is] in the house is not unclean), and afterward the priest comes in to see the house;
Or, le prêtre ordonnera que l’on emporte tout de la maison, avant qu’il y entre et qu’il voie si elle est lépreuse, de peur que ne devienne impur tout ce qui est dans la maison. Mais il entrera après, pour qu’il considère la lèpre de la maison;
37 and he has seen the plague, and behold, the plague [is] in the walls of the house, hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and their appearance [is] lower than the wall,
Et lorsqu’il verra sur ces murs comme de petites cavités, hideuses par des taches pâles ou rougeâtres, et plus enfoncées que la superficie du mur,
38 and the priest has gone out of the house to the opening of the house, and has shut up the house [for] seven days.
Il sortira hors de la porte de la maison, et aussitôt il la fermera pour sept jours.
39 And the priest has turned back on the seventh day, and has seen, and behold, the plague has spread in the walls of the house,
Et, revenu au septième jour, il la considérera: s’il trouve que la lèpre ait crû,
40 and the priest has commanded, and they have drawn out the stones in which the plague [is], and have cast them to the outside of the city, to an unclean place;
Il commandera d’arracher les pierres dans lesquelles est la lèpre, et de les jeter hors de la ville dans un lieu immonde;
41 and he causes the house to be scraped all around inside, and they have poured out the clay which they have scraped off, at the outside of the city, at an unclean place;
Mais de racler la maison elle-même en dedans tout autour, et de jeter çà et là la poussière de la raclure hors de la ville dans un lieu immonde;
42 and they have taken other stones, and brought [them] to the place of the stones, and he takes other clay and has coated the house.
Puis de remettre d’autres pierres au lieu de celles qui auront été ôtées, et d’enduire la maison d’une autre terre.
43 And if the plague returns, and has broken out in the house, after he has drawn out the stones, and after the scraping of the house, and after the coating,
Mais si, après qu’on aura arraché les pierres, raclé la poussière, enduit avec une autre terre,
44 then the priest has come in and seen, and behold, the plague has spread in the house; it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house; it [is] unclean.
Le prêtre, étant entré, voit la lèpre revenue, et les murs couverts de taches, c’est une lèpre persévérante, et la maison est impure;
45 And he has broken down the house, its stones, and its wood, and all the clay of the house, and he has brought [them] forth to the outside of the city, to an unclean place.
Et aussitôt on la détruira, et on en jettera les pierres, les bois et toute la poussière hors de la ville dans un lieu immonde.
46 And he who is going into the house all the days he has shut it up, is unclean until the evening;
Celui qui entrera dans la maison, lorsqu’elle sera fermée, sera impur jusqu’au soir;
47 and he who is lying in the house washes his garments; and he who is eating in the house washes his garments.
Et celui qui y dormira et y mangera quelque chose, lavera ses vêtements.
48 And if the priest certainly comes in, and has seen, and behold, the plague has not spread in the house after the coating of the house, then the priest has pronounced the house clean, for the plague has been healed.
Que, si le prêtre entrant, voit que la lèpre n’a pas crû dans la maison, après qu’elle aura été enduite de nouveau, il la purifiera, étant redevenue saine;
49 And he has taken two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop for the cleansing of the house;
Et pour sa purification, il prendra deux passereaux, du bois de cèdre, de l’écarlate et de l’hysope;
50 and he has slaughtered one bird on an earthen vessel, over running water;
Et, un passereau immolé dans un vase de terre sur des eaux vives,
51 and he has taken the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and has dipped them in the blood of the slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and has sprinkled against the house seven times.
Il prendra le bois de cèdre, l’hysope, l’écarlate et le passereau vivant et trempera le tout dans le sang du passereau immolé et dans les eaux vives, et il aspergera la maison sept fois,
52 And he has cleansed the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;
Et il la purifiera tant avec le sang du passereau immolé, qu’avec les eaux vives, le passereau vivant, le bois de cèdre, l’hysope et l’écarlate.
53 and he has sent the living bird away to the outside of the city to the face of the field, and has made atonement for the house, and it has been clean.
Et lorsqu’il aura laissé le passereau s’envoler librement dans la campagne, il priera pour la maison, et elle sera légitimement purifiée.
54 This [is] the law for every plague of the leprosy and for scale,
Telle est la loi de toute lèpre et plaie;
55 and for leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
De la lèpre des vêtements et des maisons;
56 and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot—
De la cicatrice et des pustules qui sortent, de la tache luisante et des couleurs changées de diverses manières;
57 to direct in the day of being unclean, and in the day of being clean; this [is] the law of the leprosy.”
Afin qu’on puisse savoir quand une chose est pure ou impure.
