Leviticus 5
1 “And when a person sins, and has heard the voice of an oath, and he [is] witness, or has seen, or has known—if he does not declare [it], then he has borne his iniquity.
"Si une personne commet un péché, en ce qu’adjurée par la voix d’un serment, quoique témoin d’un fait qu’elle a vu ou qu’elle connaît, elle ne le déclare point et se trouve ainsi chargée d’une faute;
2 Or when a person comes against anything unclean, or against a carcass of an unclean beast, or against a carcass of unclean livestock, or against a carcass of an unclean teeming creature, and it has been hidden from him, then he [is] unclean and guilty;
ou si quelqu’un touche à quelque objet impur, soit au cadavre d’une bête sauvage immonde, soit à celui d’un animal domestique immonde, ou à celui d’un reptile immonde, et que, sans s’en apercevoir, il se trouve ainsi souillé et coupable;
3 or when he comes against [the] uncleanness of man, even any of his uncleanness whereby he is unclean, and it has been hidden from him, and he has known, then he has been guilty.
ou s’il touche à une impureté humaine (quel que soit le degré de souillure qu’elle occasionne), et que, ne l’ayant pas su, il l’ait ensuite appris et soit devenu coupable;
4 Or when a person swears, speaking wrongfully with the lips to do evil, or to do good, even anything which man speaks wrongfully with an oath, and it has been hid from him—when he has known then he has been guilty of one of these;
ou si quelqu’un, par un serment échappé à ses lèvres, s’est imposé un acte pénible ou agréable, selon le serment que peut proférer un homme, mais qu’il l’ait oublié, et se soit ensuite reconnu coupable sur l’un de ces points,
5 and it has been when he is guilty of one of these, that he has confessed concerning that which he has sinned,
dès qu’il sera ainsi en faute à cet égard, il devra confesser son péché.
6 and has brought in his guilt-offering to YHWH for his sin which he has sinned, a female out of the flock, a lamb, or a kid of the goats, for a sin-offering, and the priest has made atonement for him because of his sin.
Il offrira pour son délit au Seigneur, à cause du péché qu’il a commis, une femelle du menu bétail, brebis ou chèvre, comme expiatoire; et le pontife lui procurera l’expiation de son péché.
7 And if his hand does not reach to the sufficiency of a lamb, then he has brought in his guilt-offering—he who has sinned—two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to YHWH, one for a sin-offering and one for a burnt-offering;
Que si ses moyens ne suffisent pas pour l’achat d’une menue bête, il offrira, pour la faute qu’il a commise, deux tourterelles ou deux jeunes colombes au Seigneur: l’une comme expiatoire, l’autre comme holocauste.
8 and he has brought them to the priest, and has brought near that which [is] for a sin-offering first, and has wrung off its head from its neck, and does not separate [it],
II les présentera au pontife, qui offrira en premier lieu l’expiatoire: il lui rompra la tête à l’endroit de la nuque, mais sans la détacher,
9 and he has sprinkled of the blood of the sin-offering on the side of the altar, and that which is left of the blood is wrung out at the foundation of the altar; it [is] a sin-offering.
puis fera jaillir du sang de l’expiatoire sur la paroi de l’autel; le reste du sang sera exprimé dans le réceptacle de l’autel. Ceci est un expiatoire.
10 And he makes the second a burnt-offering, according to the ordinance, and the priest has made atonement for him because of his sin which he has sinned, and it has been forgiven him.
Le second oiseau, il en fera un holocauste selon le rite. Ainsi le pontife lui obtiendra propitiation pour le péché qu’il a commis, et il lui sera pardonné.
11 And if his hand does not reach to two turtle-doves, or to two young pigeons, then he has brought in his offering—he who has sinned—a tenth of an ephah of flour for a sin-offering; he puts no oil on it, nor does he put frankincense on it, for it [is] a sin-offering,
Si ses moyens ne vont pas jusqu’à deux tourterelles ou deux jeunes colombes, il apportera comme offrande, pour son péché, un dixième d’êpha de fleur de farine à titre d’expiatoire; il n’y emploiera point d’huile et n’y mettra point d’encens, car c’est un expiatoire.
12 and he has brought it to the priest, and the priest has taken a handful from it of the fullness of his hand—its memorial—and has made incense on the altar, according to the fire-offerings of YHWH; it [is] a sin-offering.
Il le présentera au pontife; le pontife en prendra une pleine poignée comme mémorial, et la fera fumer sur l’autel parmi les combustions du Seigneur: c’est un expiatoire.
13 And the priest has made atonement for him, for his sin which he has sinned against one of these, and it has been forgiven him, and [the remnant] has been for the priest, like the present.”
Le pontife lui obtiendra propitiation du péché qu’il a commis sur l’un de ces chefs, et il lui sera pardonné. Le reste appartiendra au pontife, comme pour l’oblation."
14 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
L’Éternel parla ainsi à Moïse:
15 “When a person commits a trespass, and has sinned through ignorance against the holy things of YHWH, then he has brought in his guilt-offering to YHWH, a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at your valuation [in] silver—shekels by the shekel of the holy place—for a guilt-offering.
"Si quelqu’un commet une faute grave en détournant, par mégarde, un des objets consacrés au Seigneur, il offrira pour ce délit, au Seigneur, un bélier sans défaut, choisi dans le bétail, valant en argent deux sicles, au poids du sanctuaire, comme offrande délictive.
16 And that which he has sinned against the holy thing he repays, and is adding to it its fifth, and has given it to the priest, and the priest makes atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering, and it has been forgiven him.
Quant au tort qu’il a fait au sanctuaire, il le réparera, ajoutera un cinquième en sus et le remettra au pontife; puis le pontife fera propitiation pour lui par le bélier délictif, et il lui sera pardonné.
17 And when any person sins, and has done [something against] one of all the commands of YHWH [regarding things] which are not to be done, and has not known, then he has been guilty, and has borne his iniquity.
Si un individu, commettant un péché, contrevient à une des défenses de l’Éternel, et que, incertain du délit, il soit sous le poids d’une faute,
18 Then he has brought in a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at your valuation, for a guilt-offering, to the priest; and the priest has made atonement for him, for his ignorance in which he has erred and he has not known, and it has been forgiven him;
il apportera au pontife un bélier sans défaut, choisi dans le bétail, selon l’évaluation de l’offrande délictive; le pontife lui obtiendra grâce pour l’erreur qu’il a commise et qu’il ignore, et il lui sera pardonné.
19 it [is] a guilt-offering; he has certainly been guilty before YHWH.”
C’Est une offrande délictive, l’homme étant coupable d’un délit envers l’Éternel."
