Leviticus 23
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
L’Éternel parla ainsi à Moïse:
2 “Tell the Israeli people about the festivals that I have chosen, the days when you all must gather together [to worship me].”
"Parle aux enfants d’Israël et dis-leur les solennités de l’Éternel, que vous devez célébrer comme convocations saintes. Les voici, mes solennités:
3 “You may work for six days [each week], but on the seventh day you must not do any work. You must rest. It is a sacred/holy day when you must gather together [to worship me]. Wherever you live, you must rest on that day.”
pendant six jours on se livrera au travail, mais le septième jour il y aura repos, repos solennel pour une sainte convocation: vous ne ferez aucun travail. Ce sera le Sabbat de l’Éternel, dans toutes vos habitations.
4 “There are festivals that I have established for you. Those will also be sacred/holy days when you must gather together [to worship me].
Voici les solennités de l’Éternel, convocations saintes, que vous célébrerez en leur saison.
5 [The first festival is] (the Passover/when you remember that I spared your ancestors when I killed all the firstborn Egyptian sons). That festival will begin at twilight/dusk/sunset on the chosen day (each spring/in March or April each year), [and end on the following day].
Au premier mois, le quatorze du mois, vers le soir, la Pâque sera offerte au Seigneur;
6 The next day, the Festival of Eating Bread That Has No Yeast will begin. That festival will continue for seven days. During that time, the bread that you eat must be made without yeast.
et au quinzième jour de ce mois, ce sera la fête des Azymes pour le Seigneur: durant sept jours vous mangerez des azymes.
7 On the first day of that festival, you all must stop your regular work and you must gather together [to worship me].
Le premier jour, il y aura pour vous convocation sainte: vous ne ferez aucune œuvre servile.
8 On each of the seven days, you must present to me [several animals to be] an offering/sacrifice to be completely burned [on the altar]. On the seventh day, you all must again stop your regular work and gather to worship me.”
Vous offrirez un sacrifice au Seigneur sept jours de suite. Le septième jour, il y aura convocation sainte: vous ne ferez aucune œuvre servile."
9 Yahweh also told Moses/me
L’Éternel parla ainsi à Moïse:
10 to tell the Israeli people [about other festivals]. He said, “When you arrive in the land which I am giving to you, and you harvest your crops [for the first time] there, bring to the priest some of the first grain that you harvest.
"Parle aux enfants d’Israël et dis-leur: quand vous serez arrivés dans le pays que je vous accorde, et que vous y ferez la moisson, vous apporterez un ômer des prémices de votre moisson au pontife,
11 On the day after the [next] Sabbath/rest day, the priest will lift it up [high to dedicate it] to me, in order that I will accept it as your [gift].
lequel balancera cet ômer devant le Seigneur, pour vous le rendre propice; c’est le lendemain de la fête que le pontife le balancera.
12 That same day, you must sacrifice to me a one-year-old male lamb that has no defects. You must burn it [on the altar].
Vous offrirez, le jour du balancement de l’ômer, un agneau sans défaut, âgé d’un an, en holocauste à l’Éternel.
13 You must also burn an offering of grain. That offering must consist of (three quarts/3.5 liters) of good flour mixed with [olive] oil. The smell [of those things burning] will be very pleasing to me. Along with that, you must also offer one quart/liter of wine, which will be a liquid offering.
Son oblation: deux dixièmes de fleur de farine pétrie à l’huile, à brûler en l’honneur de l’Éternel comme odeur agréable; et sa libation: un quart de hîn de vin.
14 Do not eat any bread or any roasted grain or unroasted grain on that day until after you have brought those offerings to me, your God. You must always obey [LIT] those commands, wherever you live.”
Vous ne mangerez ni pain, ni grains torréfiés, ni gruau, jusqu’à ce jour même, jusqu’à ce que vous ayez apporté l’offrande de votre Dieu; statut perpétuel pour vos générations, dans toutes vos demeures.
15 “Seven weeks after the priest offers that grain to me,
Puis, vous compterez chacun, depuis le lendemain de la fête, depuis le jour où vous aurez offert l’ômer du balancement, sept semaines, qui doivent être entières;
16 on the next/50th day after he offers it, [each family] must bring to me an offering from the new crop of grain.
vous compterez jusqu’au lendemain de la septième semaine, soit cinquante jours, et vous offrirez à l’Éternel une oblation nouvelle.
17 From your homes, bring two loaves of bread [to the priest]. He will lift them up [high to dedicate them] as an offering to me. Those loaves must be baked from three quarts/liters of good flour that has yeast mixed with it. That bread will be an offering to me from the first wheat that you harvest [each year].
Devos habitations, vous apporterez deux pains destinés au balancement, qui seront faits de deux dixièmes de farine fine et cuits à pâte levée: ce seront des prémices pour l’Éternel.
18 Along with this bread, you must present to me seven one-year-old lambs with no defects, one young bull, and two rams. They must all be completely burned [on the altar]. All those offerings, with the grain offering and the wine offering, will be burned, and the smell [of all those things burning] will be very pleasing to me.
Vous offrirez, avec ces pains, sept agneaux sans défaut, âgés d’un an, un jeune taureau et deux béliers; ils formeront un holocauste pour le Seigneur, avec leurs oblations et leurs libations, sacrifice d’une odeur agréable à l’Éternel.
19 Then you must also kill one male goat to be an offering/sacrifice for your sins, and two one-year-old male lambs to be an offering to enable you to maintain fellowship with me.
Vous ajouterez un bouc pour le péché, et deux agneaux d’un an comme sacrifice rémunératoire.
20 The priest will lift up these offerings [high to dedicate them] to me. He will also offer the loaves of bread that were baked from the first wheat that you harvest. Those offerings are sacred to me, but they are for the priests [to eat].
Le pontife les balancera, avec le pain des prémices, devant l’Éternel, ainsi que deux des agneaux: ils seront consacrés à l’Éternel, au profit du pontife.
21 On that day, you must stop your regular work and gather to worship me. You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
Et vous célébrerez ce même jour: ce sera pour vous une convocation sainte, où vous ne ferez aucune œuvre servile; statut invariable, dans toutes vos demeures, pour vos générations.
22 “When you harvest the grain in your fields, do not harvest the grain along the edges of the fields, and do not pick up the grain that the harvesters drop. Leave that grain for the poor people and for the foreigners who are living among you. [Do not forget that it is] I, Yahweh your God, [who am commanding those things]!”
Et quand vous ferez la moisson dans votre pays, tu laisseras la Benda inachevée au bout de ton champ, et tu ne ramasseras point les glanes de ta moisson. Abandonne-les au pauvre et à l’étranger: je suis l’Éternel votre Dieu."
23 Yahweh also told Moses/me
L’Éternel parla à Moïse en ces termes:
24 to give these instructions/commands to the Israeli people: “[Each year] in September, on the day that I have chosen, you all must celebrate it by completely resting. You must not do any work on that day. When [the priests] blow their trumpets loudly, you all must gather together to worship me.
"Parle ainsi aux enfants d’Israël: au septième mois, le premier jour du mois, aura lieu pour vous un repos solennel; commémoration par une fanfare, convocation sainte.
25 All of you must not do your regular work on that day. Instead, you must present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].”
Vous ne ferez aucune œuvre servile, et vous offrirez un sacrifice à l’Éternel."
26 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
L’Éternel parla à Moïse en ces termes:
27 “You must celebrate a day [on which you request that I] forgive you for the sins that you have committed. That day will be nine days after the festival [when the priests blow] the trumpets. On that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food). You must gather together to worship me and present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].
"Mais au dixième jour de ce septième mois, qui est le jour des Expiations, il y aura pour vous convocation sainte: vous mortifierez vos personnes, vous offrirez un sacrifice à l’Éternel,
28 You must not do any work on that day, because it is the day when the priests will offer sacrifices to me to (atone for/ask me to forgive) your sins.
et vous ne ferez aucun travail en ce même jour; car c’est un jour d’expiation, destiné à vous réhabiliter devant l’Éternel votre Dieu.
29 You must expel from your group anyone who does not (fast/abstain from eating food) on that day.
Aussi, toute personne qui ne se mortifiera pas en ce même jour, sera supprimée de son peuple;
30 I will get rid of anyone who does any kind of work on that day.
et toute personne qui fera un travail quelconque en ce même jour, j’anéantirai cette personne-là du milieu de son peuple.
31 You must not work at all! You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
Ne faites donc aucune sorte de travail: loi perpétuelle pour vos générations, dans toutes vos demeures.
32 That day will be a day of complete rest for all of you, and on that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food) [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. That day of rest and (fasting/abstaining from eating food) will begin on the evening before the day in which you ask me to forgive you for your sins, and it will end on the evening of the following day.”
Ce jour est pour vous un chômage absolu, où vous mortifierez vos personnes; dès le neuf du mois au soir, depuis un soir jusqu’à l’autre, vous observerez votre chômage."
33 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
L’Éternel parla à Moïse en ces termes:
34 “Tell the Israeli people that [each year] they must also celebrate a festival of living in temporary shelters. That festival will begin five days after the day in which they request me to forgive them for their sins. It will last for seven days.
"Parle ainsi aux enfants d’Israël: le quinzième jour de ce septième mois aura lieu la fête des Tentes, durant sept jours, en l’honneur de l’Éternel.
35 On the first day of that festival, the people must gather together to worship me, and they must not do any regular work on that day.
Le premier jour, convocation sainte: vous ne ferez aucune œuvre servile.
36 On each of the seven days of the festival, they must present to me an offering [of animals] that will be burned [on the altar]. On the next day, they must gather again to worship me and present to me another animal that will be burned [on the altar]. That also will be a sacred gathering, and they must not work on that day, either.
Sept jours durant, vous offrirez des sacrifices à l’Éternel. Le huitième jour, vous aurez encore une convocation sainte, et vous offrirez un sacrifice à l’Éternel: c’est une fête de clôture, vous n’y ferez aucune œuvre servile.
37 “[To summarize], those are the festivals that I have appointed. Celebrate those sacred festivals by gathering together to present to me all the various offerings that will be burned [on the altar]—animals that will be burned completely, and offerings of grain, and offerings to enable the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with me, and offerings of wine. Each offering must be brought on the day that I have indicated.
Ce sont là les solennités de l’Éternel, que vous célébrerez comme convocations saintes, en offrant des sacrifices à l’Éternel, holocaustes et oblations, victimes et libations, selon le rite de chaque jour,
38 (Those festivals must be celebrated/You must celebrate those festivals) in addition to [worshiping on] the (Sabbath days/days of rest). And all those offerings must be given in addition to the offerings that people personally decide to give, and in addition to the offerings that people make to accompany the solemn promises that they have made, or offerings that people make (voluntarily/because they themselves want to).
indépendamment des sabbats de l’Éternel; indépendamment aussi de vos dons, et de toutes vos offrandes votives ou volontaires, dont vous ferez hommage à l’Éternel.
39 “[Returning to my instructions about] the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, you must celebrate this festival after you have harvested all the crops. On the first day and on the last day of that festival, you must rest completely.
Mais le quinzième jour du septième mois, quand vous aurez rentré la récolte de la terre, vous fêterez la fête du Seigneur, qui durera sept jours; le premier jour il y aura chômage, et chômage le huitième jour.
40 But on the first day, you are permitted to pick fruit from trees. Cut palm fronds/branches and other leafy branches from trees or from bushes that grow by the streams, [and make shelters/huts to live in for that week]. Then rejoice in my presence for those seven days.
Vous prendrez, le premier jour, du fruit de l’arbre hadar, des branches de palmier, des rameaux de l’arbre aboth et des saules de rivière; et vous vous réjouirez, en présence de l’Éternel votre Dieu, pendant sept jours.
41 You must celebrate this festival for seven days every year. You must never stop obeying my commands/instructions for that festival. You must celebrate it in September.
Vous la fêterez, cette fête du Seigneur, sept jours chaque année, règle immuable pour vos générations; c’est au septième mois que vous la solenniserez.
42 During the seven days of that festival, all of you people who have been Israelis your entire lives must live in shelters/huts.
Vous demeurerez dans des tentes durant sept jours; tout indigène en Israël demeurera sous la tente,
43 That will remind your descendants that their ancestors lived in shelters [for many years] after I rescued them from Egypt. [Do not forget that] I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who is commanding this].”
afin que vos générations sachent que j’ai donné des tentes pour demeure aux enfants d’Israël, quand je les ai fait sortir du pays d’Egypte, moi, l’Éternel, votre Dieu!"
44 So Moses/I gave to the Israeli people all those instructions concerning the festivals that Yahweh [wanted them to celebrate] each year.
Et Moïse exposa les solennités de l’Éternel aux enfants d’Israël.
