Leviticus 24
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
L’Éternel parla à Moïse en ces termes:
2 “Command the Israeli people to continually bring to you clear oil made from pressed olives to burn in the lamps [in the Sacred Tent], in order that those lamps will burn all the time.
"Ordonne aux enfants d’Israël de te choisir une huile pure d’olives concassées, pour le luminaire, afin d’alimenter les lampes en permanence.
3 Outside the curtain of the Very Holy Place, Aaron must take care of the lamps in my presence continually, in order that they will burn all during the night. That regulation must be obeyed forever.
C’Est en dehors du voile qui abrite le Statut, dans la Tente d’assignation, qu’Aaron les entretiendra depuis le soir jusqu’au matin, devant l’Éternel, constamment: règle perpétuelle pour vos générations.
4 Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
C’Est sur le candélabre d’or pur qu’il entretiendra ces lampes, devant l’Éternel, constamment.
5 “Also, [each week] you must take some fine flour and bake twelve [very big] loaves of bread, using about four quarts/liters of flour for each loaf.
Tu prendras aussi de la fleur de farine, et tu en cuiras douze gâteaux, chaque gâteau contenant deux dixièmes.
6 Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
Tu les disposeras en deux rangées, six par rangée, sur la table d’or pur, devant l’Éternel.
7 Along each row, place [in some gold cups] some pure incense to be burned to be an offering to me instead of the bread.
Tu mettras sur chaque rangée de l’encens pur, qui servira de mémorial aux pains, pour être brûlé en l’honneur de l’Éternel.
8 New/Fresh loaves of bread must be put [on the table] each Sabbath day, to signify the agreement that will never end, that I have made with you Israeli people.
Régulièrement chaque jour de sabbat, on les disposera devant l’Éternel, en permanence, de la part des enfants d’Israël: c’est une alliance perpétuelle.
9 The bread [that is taken off the table] belongs to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in a holy place, because it is a very holy part of the offerings that are given to me by being burned.”
Ce pain appartiendra à Aaron et à ses fils, qui le mangeront en lieu saint; car c’est une chose éminemment sainte, qui lui revient sur les offrandes de l’Éternel, comme portion invariable."
10 There was a man whose mother’s name was Shelomith; she was an Israeli whose father was Dibri from the tribe of Dan. And that man’s father was from Egypt. One day that man and another Israeli man started to fight inside the camp. And while they were fighting, that man cursed Yahweh [MTY].
Il arriva que le fils d’une femme israélite, lequel avait pour père un Egyptien, était allé se mêler aux enfants d’Israël; une querelle s’éleva dans le camp, entre ce fils d’une Israélite et un homme d’Israël.
Le fils de la femme israélite proféra, en blasphémant, le Nom sacré; on le conduisit devant Moïse. Le nom de sa mère était Chelomith, fille de Dibri, de la tribu de Dan.
12 So the Israeli people seized him and guarded him until they could find out what Yahweh would reveal to them [that they should do to that man].
On le mit en lieu sûr, jusqu’à ce qu’une décision intervînt de la part de l’Éternel.
13 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Et l’Éternel parla ainsi à Moïse:
14 “[Tie up and] take outside the camp the man who has cursed me. There all those who heard what he said must put their hands on his head [to indicate that he is guilty], and then all the people must [kill him by] throwing stones at him.
"Qu’on emmène le blasphémateur hors du camp; que tous ceux qui l’ont entendu imposent leurs mains sur sa tête, et que toute la communauté le lapide.
15 Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
Parle aussi aux enfants d’Israël en ces termes: quiconque outrage son Dieu portera la peine de son crime.
16 So anyone who curses me [MTY] must be executed. All the people must throw stones at him. It does not matter if he is a foreigner or an Israeli citizen; anyone who curses me must be executed.’
Pour celui qui blasphème nominativement l’Éternel, il doit être mis à mort, toute la communauté devra le lapider; étranger comme indigène, s’il a blasphémé nominativement, il sera puni de mort.
17 “Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
Si quelqu’un fait périr une créature humaine, il sera mis à mort.
18 And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
S’Il fait périr un animal, il le paiera, corps pour corps.
19 And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
Et si quelqu’un fait une blessure à son prochain, comme il a agi lui-même on agira à son égard:
20 If someone breaks one of another person’s bones, that person is allowed to break one of the bones of the person who injured him. If someone gouges out an eye of another person, that person is allowed to gouge out the eye of the person who injured him. If someone knocks out the tooth of another person, that person is allowed to knock out one of his teeth. What is done to the offender must be the same as what he did to the other person.
fracture pour fracture, œil pour œil, dent pour dent; selon la lésion qu’il aura faite à autrui, ainsi lui sera-t-il fait.
21 Whoever kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed, but anyone who murders another person must be executed.
Qui tue un animal doit le payer, et qui tue un homme doit mourir.
22 That law applies to you Israelis and and also to the foreigners who live among you; I, Yahweh your God [am the one who has commanded it].”
Même législation vous régira, étrangers comme nationaux; car je suis l’Éternel, votre Dieu à tous."
23 Then Moses/I told the Israelis [what they must do to the man who cursed Yahweh], so they took the man outside the camp and [killed him by] throwing stones at him. They did what Yahweh commanded Moses/me [to tell them to do].
Moïse le redit aux enfants d’Israël. On emmena le blasphémateur hors du camp, et on le tua à coups de pierres; et les enfants d’Israël firent comme l’Éternel avait ordonné à Moïse.
