Leviticus 14
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
L’Éternel parla à Moïse en ces termes:
2 “These are the regulations for anyone who has been healed of a contagious skin disease.
"Voici quelle sera la règle imposée au lépreux lorsqu’il redeviendra pur: il sera présenté au pontife.
3 The person must be brought to a priest. The priest will take him outside the camp [to where that person has been staying], and examine him. If the skin disease has been healed,
Le pontife se transportera hors du camp, et constatera que la plaie de lèpre a quitté le lépreux.
4 the priest will say that someone must bring two living birds that are acceptable to Yahweh, along with some cedar wood, some scarlet/red yarn, and some sprigs of (hyssop/a very leafy plant).
Sur l’ordre du pontife, on apportera, pour l’homme à purifier, deux oiseaux vivants, purs; du bois de cèdre, de l’écarlate et de l’hysope.
5 Then the priest will command that one of the birds be killed while [it is being held] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
Le pontife ordonnera qu’on égorge l’un des oiseaux, au-dessus d’un vaisseau d’argile, sur de l’eau vive.
6 Then the priest will dip the other bird, along with the cedar wood, the scarlet/red yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed.
Pour l’oiseau vivant, il le prendra ainsi que le bois de cèdre, l’écarlate et l’hysope; il plongera ces objets, avec l’oiseau vivant, dans le sang de l’oiseau égorgé, qui s’est mêlé à l’eau vive;
7 Then he must sprinkle some of the blood on the person who was healed; he must sprinkle it on him seven times. Then he will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again. And the priest will release the other bird and allow it to fly away.
en fera sept aspersions sur celui qui se purifie de la lèpre, et, l’ayant purifié, lâchera l’oiseau vivant dans la campagne.
8 “Then the person who was healed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe. Then he is allowed to return to the camp, but he must stay outside his tent for seven days.
Celui qui se purifie lavera ses vêtements, se rasera tout le poil, se baignera et deviendra pur. II pourra alors rentrer dans le camp, mais il restera sept jours hors de sa tente.
9 On the seventh day, he must again shave off all his hair, including his beard and his eyebrows. Then he must again wash his clothes and bathe, and then he will be allowed to be with other people again.
Puis, le septième jour, il se rasera tout le poil: sa chevelure, sa barbe, ses sourcils, tout son poil; il lavera ses vêtements, baignera son corps dans l’eau, et deviendra pur.
10 “The next day that person must bring two male lambs and one female lamb that is one year old, all of them with no defects. He must also bring six quarts/liters of fine flour, mixed with olive oil, to be an offering, and (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil.
Le huitième jour, il prendra deux agneaux sans défaut, et une brebis âgée d’un an, sans défaut; plus, trois dixièmes de fleur de farine pétrie à l’huile, comme oblation, et un log d’huile.
11 The priest who declares that the person’s skin disease is ended must bring that person, and his offerings, to me, Yahweh, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Le pontife purificateur présentera l’homme qui se purifie, ainsi que ces objets, devant le Seigneur, à l’entrée de la Tente d’assignation;
12 “Then the priest must take one of the male lambs and lift it up, along with the olive oil, in front of me, to be a guilt offering—[an offering for his being guilty for not giving to me the things that he was required to give me].
et le pontife prendra l’un des agneaux (qu’il doit offrir comme délictif), puis le log d’huile, et il en opérera le balancement devant le Seigneur.
13 Then the priest must slaughter the lamb in the sacred place where the other sacrifices are offered. Like the offering to enable people to be forgiven, this guilt offering is holy, and belongs to the priest.
II immolera cet agneau à l’endroit où on immole l’expiatoire et l’holocauste: dans le saint lieu. Car le délictif doit être, pour le pontife, comme l’expiatoire: c’est une sainteté de premier ordre.
14 The priest must take some of the blood of that animal and pour it on the lobe/tip of the right ear and on the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who has been healed of the skin disease.
Le pontife prendra du sang de ce délictif, et il en mettra sur le lobe de l’oreille droite de celui qui se purifie, sur le pouce de sa main droite et sur l’orteil de son pied droit.
15 Then the priest must take some of the olive oil and pour it in the palm of his own left hand.
Puis le pontife prendra le log d’huile et en fera couler dans la main gauche du pontife.
16 Then he must dip the forefinger of his right hand into the oil in his palm, and sprinkle it in front of me seven times.
Le pontife trempera son index droit dans l’huile qui est dans sa main gauche, et de cette huile il fera, avec l’index, sept aspersions devant le Seigneur.
17 Then he must put some of the oil that is still in the palm of his hand on the lobe/tip of the right ear and the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the person who has been healed of the skin disease. He must put it on top of the blood that he has already put on those places.
Du surplus de l’huile qui est dans sa main, le pontife mettra une partie sur le lobe de l’oreille droite de celui qui se purifie, sur le pouce de sa main droite et sur l’orteil de son pied droit, par-dessus le sang du délictif.
18 The remaining oil in his palm must be put on the person’s head, [to indicate that I declare that] the person has been forgiven for having sinned.
Et ce qui sera resté de l’huile contenue dans la main du pontife, il l’appliquera sur la tète de celui qui se purifie, et fera expiation pour lui devant le Seigneur.
19 “Then the priest must slaughter one of the other two animals, to show that the one who has been healed of the skin disease has been forgiven for having sinned, and that he has become acceptable to Yahweh. Then the priest will slaughter the animal that will be completely burned [on the altar].
Alors le pontife s’occupera de l’expiatoire, et fera expier son impureté à celui qui se purifie; puis il immolera l’holocauste.
20 He will also put on the altar the offering of grain, to indicate that the person has been forgiven for having sinned. Then that person will be allowed to be with other people again.
Le pontife offrira cet holocauste, ainsi que l’oblation, sur l’autel, fera ainsi expiation pour lui, et il sera pur.
21 “But if the person who has been healed of a skin disease is poor and cannot afford to bring all those animals, he must take to the priest one male lamb to be lifted up to be an offering for his not giving to me the things that he was required to give me. He must also take two quarts/liters of fine flour mixed with olive oil to be an offering made from grain, (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil,
Si cet homme est pauvre et que ses moyens soient insuffisants, il prendra un agneau comme délictif destiné à être balancé, pour obtenir son expiation; plus, un dixième de fleur de farine pétrie à l’huile, pour oblation, et un log d’huile;
22 and two doves or two young pigeons, one for him to be forgiven for the sins he has committed, and one to be completely burned [on the altar].
puis deux tourterelles ou deux jeunes colombes, selon que le permettront ses moyens; l’une sera un expiatoire, l’autre un holocauste.
23 “On that same day, that person must take those things to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, to offer them to Yahweh.
Il les apportera, le huitième jour de sa purification, au pontife, à l’entrée de la Tente d’assignation, devant le Seigneur.
24 The priest will take the lamb for the offering for that person not giving to me the things that he was required to give me, along with the olive oil, and lift them up in front of me.
Le pontife prendra l’agneau délictif et le log d’huile, et en opérera le balancement devant le Seigneur.
25 Then the priest will slaughter that lamb [and drain some of the blood in a bowl], and take some of that blood and put it on the lobe/tip of the person’s right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
Après avoir immolé l’agneau délictif, le pontife prendra du sang de la victime, et l’appliquera sur le lobe de l’oreille droite de celui qui se purifie, sur le pouce de sa main droite et sur l’orteil de son pied droit.
26 Then the priest will pour some of the oil into the palm of his left hand,
Puis le pontife versera une partie de l’huile dans la main gauche du pontife;
27 and with his right forefinger he must sprinkle some of the oil from his palm there in my presence.
fera avec l’index droit, de cette huile qui est dans sa main gauche, sept aspersions devant le Seigneur,
28 He must put some of the oil in his palm on the same places where he put the blood.
et mettra un peu de l’huile, contenue dans sa main, sur le lobe de l’oreille droite de celui qui se purifie, sur le pouce de sa main droite et sur l’orteil de son pied droit, au même endroit que le sang du délictif.
29 He must put the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the head of the person who has been healed of a skin disease, to indicate that I have forgiven him for having sinned.
Quant au restant de l’huile qui est dans la main du pontife, il l’appliquera sur la tête de celui qui se purifie, pour lui obtenir expiation devant le Seigneur.
30 Then the priest must sacrifice the doves or the pigeons, whichever that person has brought.
Puis il traitera l’une des tourterelles ou des jeunes colombes, des victimes qu’on aura pu fournir;
31 One will be an offering for sin and the other will be completely burned on the altar, along with the offering of grain. By doing that, the priest will declare that the person is no longer guilty for having sinned.
offrira ce qu’on aura pu fournir, un oiseau comme expiatoire, l’autre comme holocauste, en outre de l’oblation; et ainsi le pontife procurera, à celui qui se purifie, son expiation devant l’Éternel.
32 “Those are the regulations for anyone who has a contagious skin disease and who is poor and cannot afford the usual offerings, in order that he can be with people again.”
Telle est la règle pour la purification de celui qui a eu une plaie de lèpre, quand ses moyens sont insuffisants."
33 Yahweh also said to Aaron and Moses/me,
L’Éternel parla à Moïse et à Aaron en ces termes:
34 “I am about to give you Canaan land to belong to your people permanently. When you enter that land, there will be times when I cause/allow mildew to appear inside one of your houses.
"Quand vous serez arrivés au pays de Canaan, dont je vous donne la possession, et que je ferai naître une altération lépreuse dans une maison du pays que vous posséderez,
35 If that happens, the owner of that house must go to the priest and tell him, ‘There is something in my house that looks like mildew.’
celui a qui sera la maison ira le déclarer au pontife, en disant: "J’Ai observé quelque altération à ma maison."
36 “Then the priest will say to him, ‘Take everything out of the house before I enter the house to examine the mildew. If you do not do that, I will declare that everything in the house is contaminated.’
Le pontife ordonnera qu’on vide la maison avant qu’il y entre pour examiner l’altération, de peur que tout ce qui est dans la maison ne se trouve impur; après quoi, le pontife viendra visiter cette maison.
37 [After the owner takes everything outside of his house], the priest will go in and inspect the house. If the mildew has caused greenish or reddish spots/depressions on the walls that seem to be deeper than only on the surface of the walls,
S’Il constate, en examinant la plaie, que cette plaie est dans les murs de la maison, en dépressions d’un vert ou d’un rouge foncé, plus basses en apparence que le niveau du mur,
38 the priest will go outside the house and lock it up for seven days.
le pontife se dirigera de la maison vers l’entrée de la maison, et la fera fermer pour sept jours.
39 On the seventh day, he must go into the house and inspect it again. If the mildew on the walls has spread,
Le pontife y retournera le septième jour. S’Il observe que la plaie a grandi sur les murs de la maison,
40 the priest will tell someone to tear out and throw in the dump outside the town all the stones in the walls that have mildew on them.
il ordonnera qu’on détache les pierres atteintes par la plaie et qu’on les jette hors de la ville, dans un lieu impur.
41 Then the owner must scrape all the walls inside the house, and everything that is scraped off must be thrown into a dump outside the town.
Puis il fera gratter la maison intérieurement, autour de la plaie, et l’on jettera la poussière qu’on aura raclée hors de la ville, dans un lieu impur.
42 Then the owner must get new/other stones to replace the ones that had mildew on them, and take new clay and plaster [to cover the stones in the walls of] the house.
On prendra d’autres pierres, que l’on posera à la place des premières; on prendra d’autre mortier, et l’on recrépira la maison.
43 “If the mildew appears again in the house after that is done,
Et si la plaie recommence à se développer dans la maison après qu’on a gratté et recrépi la maison,
44 the priest must go and examine the house again. If the mildew has spread inside the house, it will be clear that the mildew is the kind that destroys [houses], and no one will be allowed to live in it.
le pontife viendra, et constatera que la plaie s’est accrue dans cette maison; c’est une lèpre corrosive qui règne dans cette maison: elle est impure.
45 It must be completely torn down—the stones, the timber and the plaster—and all those things must be thrown into a dump outside the town.
On démolira la maison, les pierres, la charpente et tout l’enduit de la maison, qu’on transportera hors de la ville, dans un lieu impur.
46 “Anyone who goes into that house while it is locked up will not be allowed to be with other people until sunset of that day.
Celui qui entrera dans la maison tout le temps qu’on l’a déclarée close, sera souillé jusqu’au soir.
47 Anyone who sleeps in that house or eats in that house [during that time] must wash his clothes.
Celui qui couchera dans cette maison, lavera ses vêtements, et celui qui y mangera doit les laver de même.
48 “But when the priest comes to examine the house after it has been plastered, if the mildew has not spread, he shall declare that people may live in it, because the mildew is gone.
Mais si le pontife, lorsqu’il vient, observe que la plaie n’a pas fait de progrès dans la maison après que celle-ci a été recrépie, le pontife déclarera cette maison pure, car la plaie est guérie.
49 But before people are allowed to live in it, the priest must take two small birds and some cedar wood and some red/scarlet yarn and some hyssop.
Il prendra, pour purifier la maison, deux oiseaux, ainsi que du bois de cèdre, de l’écarlate et de l’hysope.
50 He must kill one of the birds while [holding it] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
Il égorgera l’un des oiseaux, au-dessus d’un vase d’argile, sur de l’eau vive;
51 Then he must take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the red/scarlet yarn, and the other/living bird, and dip them into the blood of the dead bird, and sprinkle some of that blood on the house seven times.
prendra le bois de cèdre, l’hysope et l’écarlate avec l’oiseau vivant, les trempera dans le sang de l’oiseau égorgé et dans l’eau vive, et en aspergera la maison sept fois.
52 By doing all those things he will cause the house to be acceptable to be lived in again.
Il purifiera ainsi la maison par le sang de l’oiseau, par l’eau vive, par l’oiseau vivant, le bois de cèdre, l’hysope et l’écarlate.
53 Then he must release the other bird and allow it to fly away. By doing that, he will [finish the ritual for] causing the house to be acceptable for people to live in it again.
Il lâchera l’oiseau vivant hors de la ville, dans la campagne, et fera ainsi propitiation pour la maison, qui deviendra pure.
54 “Those are the regulations for contagious diseases, for itching sores,
Telle est l’instruction relative à toute affection de lèpre et à la teigne;
55 for mildew [DOU] on clothes or in a house,
à la lèpre des étoffes, à celle des maisons;
56 and for swellings, rashes, or bright spots [on sores],
à la tumeur, à la dartre et à la tache,
57 to find out whether a person has a contagious disease or not, and whether people will still be permitted to touch their clothing or their house, or not.”
pour enseigner l’époque où l’on est impur et celle où l’on est pur. Telle est la règle de la lèpre."
