Hebrews 9
1 [To continue]: In the first [covenant, God] regulated how people [should perform] rituals, and [he told them to make] [MTY] a sanctuary.
Le premier tabernacle avait donc des ordonnances touchant le culte divin, et un Sanctuaire terrestre.
2 [That sanctuary] was a tent that [the Israelites] set up. In its outer room there was the lampstand and the table [on which they put] the bread that [the priests] presented [to God. That room] was called ‘the holy place’.
Car il fut construit un premier tabernacle, appelé le Lieu saint, dans lequel étaient le chandelier, et la table, et les pains de proposition.
3 Behind the curtain inside [the holy place] there was [another] room. That was called ‘the very holy place’.
Et après le second voile [était] le Tabernacle, [qui était] appelé le lieu Très-saint.
4 It had an altar, [made from] gold, [for burning] incense. [It also had the chest which they called] the chest of the covenant. All its sides were covered with gold. In it was the golden pot which contained [pieces of the food they called] manna. [That was the food with which God miraculously fed the people before they entered the promised land]. In the chest there was also Aaron’s walking stick that budded [to prove that he was God’s true priest]. In the chest were also the stone tablets [on which God had written] the Ten Commandments.
Ayant un encensoir d'or, et l'Arche de l'alliance, entièrement couverte d'or tout autour, dans laquelle était la cruche d'or où était la manne; et la verge d'Aaron qui avait fleuri, et les tables de l'alliance.
5 On top of [the chest] were [figures of] winged creatures [that symbolized God’s] glory. Their [wings] overshadowed the chest’s lid where [the high priest sprinkled the blood] (to [atone for/to forgive]) [those who had sinned. I] do not [need] to write about these things in detail now.
Et au-dessus de l'Arche étaient les Chérubins de gLoire, faisant ombre sur le Propitiatoire, desquelles choses il n'est pas besoin maintenant de parler en détail.
6 After all those things were prepared {After they had prepared all those things like that} [in the two rooms of the tent], the [Jewish] priests habitually went into the outer [room of the] tent to perform their rituals.
Or ces choses étant ainsi disposées, les Sacrificateurs entrent bien toujours dans le premier Tabernacle pour accomplir le service;
7 But into the inner room, only the Supreme Priest [went], once a year. He always took [LIT] the blood [of animals that they had slaughtered]. He offered them [to God] for his own [sins] and for the sins that other people had committed. They included sins that they did not realize [were sinful].
Mais le seul souverain Sacrificateur entre dans le second une fois l'an, [mais] non sans [y porter] du sang, lequel il offre pour lui-même, et pour les fautes du peuple;
8 By those things the Holy Spirit indicated that [just like God] did not reveal the way [for ordinary people] to enter into the inner room while the outer room still existed [MET], [similarly he did not reveal the way for ordinary people to enter the presence of God while the Jewish system of offering sacrifices was in effect].
Le Saint-Esprit faisant connaître par là, que le chemin des lieux Saints n'était pas encore manifesté, tandis que le premier Tabernacle était encore debout, lequel était une figure destinée pour le temps d'alors;
9 [The things that the priests did inside the outer room] [MTY] symbolized [what was true] during the time [when the first covenant was in effect]. According to [the first covenant] (OR, [In that outer room]), [priests] offered gifts and other sacrifices to God. But [by offering them], the people who brought them were unable to make themselves feel that they were no longer guilty for having sinned.
Durant lequel étaient offerts des dons et des sacrifices; qui ne pouvaient point sanctifier la conscience de celui qui faisait le service,
10 [They brought those gifts and made those sacrifices] according to [regulations concerning] things to eat and drink, and [according to rules that required people to] wash various things. [God] declared that those regulations about our bodies were to be in effect until [he put into effect the new covenant]; that was a better system.
Ordonnés seulement en viandes, en breuvages, en diverses ablutions, et en des cérémonies charnelles, jusqu'au temps que cela serait redressé.
11 But when Christ came as our Supreme Priest, [he brought] the good things that are now available. When he appeared, [he went into God’s presence in heaven. That is like a] [MET] very great and perfect tent not made by humans {which no human made} [SYN]; that is, it is not part of the world [God] created. It was better [than the tent Moses set up here on earth].
Mais Christ étant venu [pour être] le souverain Sacrificateur des biens à venir, par un plus excellent et plus parfait tabernacle, qui n'est pas un [tabernacle] fait de main, c'est-à-dire, qui soit de cette structure,
12 [When a Supreme Priest goes into the inner room in the tent each year, he takes] goats’ blood and calves’ blood [to offer as a sacrifice]. But Christ did not [do that. It was as though] he went into that very holy place only once, taking his own blood with him. By doing that, he eternally redeemed us. (aiōnios g166)
Il est entré une fois dans les lieux Saints avec son propre sang, et non avec le sang des veaux ou des boucs, après avoir obtenu une rédemption éternelle. (aiōnios g166)
13 The priests sprinkle on people goats’ blood and bulls’ blood and [the water that has been filtered through] the ashes of a [red] heifer that has been [completely burned. By performing that ritual, they can ritually] cleanse the bodies of those who are [ceremonially] unclean. Furthermore, performing those rituals enabled people to have fellowship with God again.
Car si le sang des taureaux et des boucs, et la cendre de la génisse, de laquelle on fait aspersion, sanctifie quant à la pureté de la chair, ceux qui sont souillés;
14 [So, because we know what] Christ [accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died for us] [PRS, MTY], we will be very certain that we are not guilty [of having] done those things [that those who are spiritually] dead do. [As a result], we can serve God, who is all-powerful. [The priests always offer to God animals] with no defects. Similarly, when Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] to God, he was sinless [MET]. He did that as a result of [God’s] eternal Spirit [helping him]. (aiōnios g166)
Combien plus le sang de Christ, qui par l'Esprit éternel s'est offert lui-même à Dieu sans nulle tache, purifiera-t-il votre conscience des œuvres mortes, pour servir le Dieu vivant? (aiōnios g166)
15 [By] dying [for us], [Christ] ([redeemed/] free from the penalty for their sins) even those who disobeyed the [conditions of] (OR, [during the time of]) the first covenant. So, [because] no [one could be made perfect by obeying the old covenant], now Christ establishes [between God and people] a new covenant. He does that in order that those whom God has chosen may eternally have [the blessings that God] has promised them. (aiōnios g166)
C'est pourquoi il est Médiateur du Nouveau Testament, afin que la mort intervenant pour la rançon des transgressions qui étaient sous le premier Testament, ceux qui sont appelés reçoivent [l'accomplissement] de la promesse [qui leur a été faite] de l'héritage éternel. (aiōnios g166)
16 A covenant [is like a will. In the case of a will], [in order to put its provisions into effect], someone must prove that the one who made it has died.
Car où il y a un testament, il est nécessaire que la mort du testateur intervienne.
17 A will goes into effect [only when the one who makes the will] has died. It is not in effect when the one who made it is still alive.
Parce que c'est par la mort du [testateur] qu'un testament est rendu ferme, vu qu'il n'a point encore de vertu durant que le testateur est en vie.
18 And so [God] put the first covenant into effect only [LIT] by means of [animals’] blood that was shed [when they were slaughtered].
C'est pourquoi le premier [testament] lui-même n'a point été confirmé sans du sang.
19 After Moses had declared to all the Israelites everything that God commanded in the laws [that God gave him], he took calves’ and goats’ blood [mixed] with water. He [dipped into it] scarlet wool [that he tied around] a sprig of hyssop. Then he sprinkled [with some of the blood] the scroll itself containing God’s laws. Then he sprinkled [more of that blood on all the] people,
Car après que Moïse eut récité à tout le peuple tous les commandements selon la Loi, ayant pris le sang des veaux et des boucs, avec de l'eau et de la laine teinte en pourpre, et de l'hysope, il en fit aspersion sur le Livre, et sur tout le peuple;
20 saying to them, “This is the blood [which brings into effect] the covenant that God commanded that you [obey].”
En disant: c'est ici le sang du Testament, lequel Dieu vous a ordonné [d'observer].
21 Likewise, he sprinkled with that blood the tent and every object that they used in performing rituals.
Il fit aussi aspersion du sang sur le Tabernacle, et sur tous les vaisseaux du service.
22 It was by [sprinkling] blood that they [ritually] cleansed almost everything. That was what [was stated in] God’s laws. If blood is not shed [when people offer a sacrifice, God] cannot forgive [the person who is making the sacrifice].
Et presque toutes choses selon la Loi sont purifiées par le sang; et sans effusion de sang il ne se fait point de rémission.
23 So, by rituals like that, it was necessary for [the priests] to cleanse the things that symbolized what Christ does [MTY] in heaven. But God has to [consecrate] the [people who will enter] [MTY] heaven [by means of] better sacrifices than those.
Il a donc fallu que les choses qui représentaient celles qui sont aux cieux, fussent purifiées par de telles choses, mais que les célestes le [soient] par des sacrifices plus excellents que ceux-là.
24 Christ did not enter a sanctuary that humans made. That one only represented the true [sanctuary]. Instead, he entered heaven itself, in order to now be in God’s presence [to plead with] God for us.
Car Christ n'est point entré dans les lieux Saints faits de main, qui étaient des figures correspondantes aux vrais, mais il [est entré] au Ciel même, afin de comparaître maintenant pour nous devant la face de Dieu.
25 The [Jewish] Supreme Priest enters the very holy place once every year, taking blood that is not his own, [to offer it as a sacrifice]. But when Christ entered heaven, it was not in order to offer himself repeatedly like that.
Non qu'il s'offre plusieurs fois lui-même, ainsi que le souverain Sacrificateur entre dans les lieux Saints chaque année avec un autre sang;
26 [If that were so], he would have needed to suffer [and shed his blood] repeatedly since [the time when God] created the world. But instead, in this final age, [Christ] has appeared once in order that by sacrificing himself he could cause [that people] no longer will be [punished for their] sins. (aiōn g165)
(Autrement il aurait fallu qu'il eût souffert plusieurs fois depuis la fondation du monde) mais maintenant en la consommation des siècles il a paru une seule fois pour l'abolition du péché, par le sacrifice de soi-même. (aiōn g165)
27 All people must die once, and after that [God] will judge them [for their sins].
Et comme il est ordonné aux hommes de mourir une seule fois, et qu'après cela [suit] le jugement.
28 Likewise, when Christ [died], [God] offered him once to be a sacrifice, to punish him instead of the many [people who had] sinned. He will come [to earth] a second time, not [in order to sacrifice himself again for those who] have sinned, but in order to [complete] his saving those who expectantly wait for him.
De même aussi Christ ayant été offert une seule fois pour ôter les péchés de plusieurs, apparaîtra une seconde fois sans péché à ceux qui l'attendent à salut.
