Deuteronomy 25
1 “If [two] Israelis have a dispute and they go to a court, the judge will [probably] decide/declare that one of them (is innocent/did not do any wrong) and the other one is guilty.
Quand il y aura eu un différend entre quelques-uns, et qu'ils viendront en jugement afin qu'on les juge, on justifiera le juste, et on condamnera le méchant.
2 If the judge says that the guilty person must be punished, he shall command him to lie [with his face] on the ground and be whipped. The number of times he is struck with a whip will depend on [what kind of] crime he committed.
Si le méchant a mérité d'être battu, le juge le fera jeter par terre, et battre devant soi par un certain nombre de coups, selon l'exigence de son crime.
3 It is permitted that he be struck as many as 40 times, but no more than that. If he is struck more than 40 times, he would be humiliated publicly.
Il le fera donc battre de quarante coups, et non de davantage, de peur que s'il continue à le battre au delà de ces coups, la plaie ne soit excessive, et que ton frère ne soit traité trop indignement devant tes yeux.
4 When your ox is treading/walking on the grain [to separate the chaff from the grain], do not (muzzle it/put a covering on its mouth) [to prevent it from eating some of the grain].
Tu n'emmuselleras point ton bœuf, lorsqu'il foule le grain.
5 If two brothers live on the same property, and one of them who has no son dies, the man’s widow should not marry someone who is not a member of his family. The dead man’s brother must marry her and have sex [EUP] with her. It is his duty to do that.
Quand il y aura des frères demeurant ensemble, et que l'un d'entr'eux viendra à mourir sans enfants, alors la femme du mort ne se mariera point dehors à un étranger; mais son beau-frère viendra vers elle, et la prendra pour femme, et l'épousera comme étant son beau-frère.
6 If she later gives birth to a son, that son is to be considered [MTY] the son of the man who died, in order that the dead man’s name will not disappear from Israel.
Et le premier-né qu'elle enfantera succédera en la place du frère mort, et portera son nom, afin que son nom ne soit point effacé d'Israël.
7 “But if the dead man’s brother does not want to marry that woman, she must stand at the (gate/central meeting place) of the town and say to the [town] elders, ‘My husband’s brother will not do (his duty/what he is supposed to do). He refuses to [marry me in order that I may give birth to a son who will] prevent my dead husband’s name from disappearing in Israel.’
Que s'il ne plaît pas à cet homme-là de prendre sa belle-sœur, alors sa belle-sœur montera à la porte vers les Anciens, et dira: Mon beau-frère refuse de relever le nom de son frère en Israël, et ne veut point m'épouser par droit de beau-frère.
8 Then the elders must summon that man and talk to him. If he still refuses to marry that widow,
Alors les Anciens de sa ville l'appelleront, et lui parleront; et s'il demeure ferme, et qu'il dise: Je ne veux point la prendre;
9 she must go up to him while the elders are watching, and take off one of his sandals [to symbolize/show that he would not receive any of her property], and spit in his face, and say to him, ‘This is what happens to the man who refuses to do what is needed [to allow his dead brother to have a son] in order that our family name does not disappear.’
Alors sa belle-sœur s'approchera de lui devant les Anciens, et lui ôtera son soulier du pied, et lui crachera au visage, et prenant la parole, elle dira: C'est ainsi qu'on fera à l'homme qui n'édifiera point la maison de son frère.
10 After that happens, that man’s family will be known as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’.
Et son nom sera appelé en Israël, la maison de celui à qui on a déchaussé le soulier.
11 When [two] men are fighting with each other, and the one man’s wife comes near to help her husband by grabbing hold of the other man’s genitals,
Quand quelques-uns auront querelle ensemble l'un contre l'autre, si la femme de l'un s'approche pour délivrer son mari de celui qui le bat, et qu'avançant sa main elle l'empoigne par ses parties honteuses;
12 do not act mercifully toward her; cut off her hand.
Alors tu lui couperas la main; et ton œil ne l'épargnera point.
13 “[When you are buying or selling things], do not try to cheat people by having two kinds of weights, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something], and two kinds of measuring baskets, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something].
Tu n'auras point en ton sachet deux sortes de pierres [à peser], une grande et une petite.
Il n'y aura point aussi dans ta maison deux sortes d'Epha, un grand et un petit;
15 Always use correct weights and correct measuring baskets, in order that Yahweh our God will allow you to live a long time in the land that he is giving to you.
Mais tu auras les pierres [à peser] exactes et justes; tu auras aussi un Epha exact et juste, afin que tes jours soient prolongés sur la terre que l'Eternel ton Dieu te donne.
16 Yahweh hates all those who act dishonestly, [and he will punish them].
Car quiconque fait ces choses-là, quiconque mit une injustice, est en abomination à l'Eternel ton Dieu.
17 Continue to remember what the Amalek people-group did to your ancestors when they were coming out of Egypt.
Qu'il te souvienne de ce qu'Hamalec t'a fait en chemin, quand vous sortiez d'Egypte;
18 They attacked your ancestors as your ancestors were traveling, when they were weak and exhausted. Those people were not afraid of God at all, so they attacked your ancestors from the rear and killed all those who were unable to walk as fast as the others.
Comment il est venu te rencontrer en chemin, [et] a chargé en queue tous les faibles qui te suivaient, quand tu étais las et harassé, et n'a point eu de crainte de Dieu.
19 Therefore, when Yahweh our God has given you the land [that he promised to give you], and when he has enabled you to rest from [fighting] all your enemies around you, kill all the Amalek people-group, with the result that no one will remember them any more. Do not forget [to do this]!”
Quand donc l'Eternel ton Dieu t'aura donné du repos de tous tes ennemis tout à l'entour, dans le pays que l'Eternel ton Dieu te donne en héritage pour le posséder, alors tu effaceras la mémoire d'Hamalec de dessous les cieux; ne l'oublie point.
