Exodus 40
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Le Seigneur parla ensuite à Moïse et lui dit:
2 “On the first day of the first month next year, [tell the people to] set up the Sacred Tent.
Le premier jour de la première lune, le jour de la nouvelle lune, tu dresseras le tabernacle du témoignage.
3 Put inside it the sacred chest [that contains the stone slabs on which are engraved] the Ten Commandments, and hang the curtain in front of it.
Tu placeras l'arche du témoignage, et tu la couvriras du voile.
4 Bring the table into the Sacred Tent, and place on it all the things that are to be used with it. Bring in the lampstand and fasten the lamps to it.
Tu introduiras la table sur laquelle tu poseras les pains de proposition; tu introduiras aussi le chandelier, et tu placeras ses lampes.
5 Put the gold altar for [burning] incense in front of the sacred chest, and set up the curtain at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Tu placeras l'autel d'or, pour brûler l'encens devant l'arche, et tu placeras le voile de l'entrée du tabernacle du témoignage.
6 Put the altar for burning sacrifices in front of the Sacred Tent.
Tu placeras l'autel des holocaustes, devant la porte du tabernacle du témoignage.
7 Put the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
8 Hang the curtains that will surround the courtyard, and hang the curtain at its entrance.
Et tu couvriras le tabernacle, tout alentour, et tu sanctifieras tout ce qui lui appartient.
9 Then take the oil for anointing, and anoint the Sacred Tent and everything that is in it, to (set it apart/dedicate it) to me. Then it will be holy/sacred.
Tu prendras de l'huile de l'onction, et tu oindras le tabernacle avec tous ses vases, et ils seront saints.
10 Also anoint the altar for offering sacrifices that will be completely burned, and all the things that will be used with it, and set it apart. Then it also will be holy/sacred.
Tu oindras l'autel des holocaustes et tous ses accessoires; tu sanctifieras l'autel; et l'autel sera très-saint.
11 Also anoint the washbasin and its base, to set it apart.
12 Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually] with water.
Ensuite, tu conduiras Aaron et ses fils sur la porte, du tabernacle du témoignage, et tu le laveras avec de l'eau.
13 Then put on Aaron his sacred clothes to (set him apart/dedicate him), in order that he can serve me as a priest.
Tu revêtiras Aaron de ses vêtements saints, tu l'oindras, tu le sanctifieras, et il exercera mon sacerdoce.
14 Also bring his sons there. Put their sacred tunics/gowns on them
Tu conduiras aussi ses fils, et tu les revêtiras de leurs tuniques,
15 and anoint them just as you anointed their father, in order that they also may serve me by working as priests. By anointing them [and their descendants], you will cause them and their descendants to be priests throughout all coming generations.”
Tu les oindras comme tu auras oint leur père, et ils seront tous mes prêtres. Le chrême sera conservé pour leur onction sacerdotale à toujours, en toutes les générations.
16 Moses/I did all these things exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
Et Moïse fit tout ce que lui avait prescrit le Seigneur.
17 On the first day of the first month of the next year (OR, second year [after they/we left Egypt]), the people set up the Sacred Tent.
Et dans la première lune de la seconde année depuis la sortie d'Égypte, le jour de la nouvelle lune, le tabernacle fut dressé.
18 Following Moses’/my instructions, they set up the Sacred Tent and its bases, set up the frames, attached the crossbars, and put up the posts [for the curtains].
Moïse dressa le tabernacle; il plaça les chapiteaux, il plaça les leviers, il érigea les colonnes.
19 Then they spread out the coverings over the Sacred Tent, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
Il tendit les courtines sur le tabernacle; il plaça la couverture supérieure sur le tabernacle, comme le Seigneur le lui avait prescrit.
20 Then he/I took the two stone slabs [on which the commandments were written] and put them in the sacred chest. He/I put the carrying poles [in the rings] on the chest and put the lid on top of the chest.
Et ayant pris les témoignages, il les mit dans l'arche, et il passa les leviers sous l'arche.
21 Then he/I took the chest into [the Very Holy Place inside] the Sacred Tent and hung the curtain. In that way, he/I prevented the people who were outside from seeing the chest. He/I did all this exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
Ensuite il transporta l'arche dans le tabernacle, et il la couvrit avec le voile, comme le Seigneur l'avait prescrit à Moïse.
22 He/I set the table inside the Sacred Tent, on the north side, outside the curtain.
Il plaça la table dans le tabernacle du témoignage, du côté du septentrion, en dehors du voile.
23 He/I placed on the table the bread that was offered to Yahweh, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
Il posa sur la table les pains de proposition devant le Seigneur, comme le Seigneur le lui avait prescrit.
24 He/I set the lampstand inside the Sacred Tent, on the south side, opposite the table.
Il plaça, le chandelier dans le tabernacle du témoignage, du côté du midi,
25 Then he/I fastened the lamps to the lampstand in Yahweh’s presence, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
Il plaça les lampes devant le Seigneur, comme le Seigneur le lui avait prescrit.
26 He/I set the golden altar for burning incense inside the Sacred Tent, in front of the curtain [that separated the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place],
Il plaça l'autel d'or dans le tabernacle du témoignage, devant le voile.
27 and he/I burned some sweet-smelling incense on it, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
Et il brûla sur l'autel l'encens composé, comme le Seigneur le lui avait prescrit.
28 He/I hung the curtain at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
29 At the entrance to the Sacred Tent, he/I set the altar for offering sacrifices that were to be burned completely. Then he/I offered on it the meat that was to be burned completely and the grain offering, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
Il plaça l'autel des holocaustes devant la porte du tabernacle,
30 He/I set the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the [bronze] altar, and he/I filled the washbasin with water.
31 Every time Moses/I and Aaron and his sons went into the Sacred Tent or went to the altar, they/we washed their/our hands and feet [ritually], exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
33 Following Moses’/my instructions, they hung the curtains that surrounded the courtyard and the altar, and they hung the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. So Moses/I finished that work.
Puis, il dressa le parvis autour du tabernacle et de l'autel. Moïse accomplit tous ses travaux.
34 Then the [tall bright] cloud covered the Sacred Tent, and Yahweh’s (glory/brilliant light) filled the Sacred Tent.
Et une nuée enveloppa le tabernacle du témoignage; le tabernacle fut rempli de la gloire du Seigneur
35 Because that light was very bright, Moses/I was not able to enter the Sacred Tent.
Et Moïse ne put entrer dans le tabernacle du témoignage, parce que la nuée l'enveloppait d'ombre, et que le tabernacle était rempli de la gloire du Seigneur.
36 From that day, whenever the Israeli people wanted to move to another place, they went only when the bright cloud rose from above the Sacred Tent.
Or, lorsque la nuée s'élevant découvrait le tabernacle du témoignage, les fils d'Israël devaient lever leur camp et emmener tous leurs bagages.
37 If the cloud did not rise, they stayed where they were and did not go on until the cloud rose.
Si elle ne s'élevait pas, ils ne préparaient point leur départ, jusqu'à ce qu'elle s'élevât.
38 Wherever they traveled, the bright cloud that [indicated] Yahweh’s [presence] was above the Sacred Tent during the day, and a [bright] fire was inside the cloud at night, with the result that all the Israeli people [MTY] could see it [at any time].
Car la nuée se tenait le jour sur le tabernacle, et le feu se tenait la nuit, à la vue des fils d'Israël dans leurs campements.
