Lévitique 27
1 Et l’Éternel parla à Moïse, disant:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Parle aux fils d’Israël, et dis-leur: Si quelqu’un a mis à part quoi que ce soit par un vœu, les personnes seront à l’Éternel selon ton estimation.
“Tell the Israeli people [that this is what I am saying to them]: If anyone solemnly promises to dedicate another person to [work solely] for me, the person who is dedicated to me is allowed to be free from having to do that by someone paying [to the priest] a fixed amount of money. The money that is given must be calculated by comparing it with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
3 Et ton estimation d’un mâle depuis l’âge de 20 ans jusqu’à l’âge de 60 ans, ton estimation sera de 50 sicles d’argent, selon le sicle du sanctuaire;
[These are the amounts that must be paid]: 50 pieces of silver for men who are between 20 and 60 years old,
4 et si c’est une femme, ton estimation sera de 30 sicles.
30 pieces of silver for adult women [who are between 20 and 60 years old],
5 Et si c’est un mâle depuis l’âge de cinq ans jusqu’à l’âge de 20 ans, ton estimation sera de 20 sicles, et pour une femme, de dix sicles;
20 pieces of silver for young men who are between five and 20 years old, ten pieces of silver for young women who are between five and 20 years old,
6 et si c’est un mâle depuis l’âge d’un mois jusqu’à l’âge de cinq ans, ton estimation sera de cinq sicles d’argent, et ton estimation d’une fille sera de trois sicles d’argent.
five pieces of silver for boys who are between one month and five years old, three pieces of silver for girls who are between one month and five years old,
7 Et si c’est un mâle de l’âge de 60 ans et au-dessus, ton estimation sera de 15 sicles, et pour une femme, de dix sicles.
15 pieces of silver for men who are more than 60 years old, ten pieces of silver for women who are more than 60 years old.
8 Et s’il est plus pauvre que ton estimation, on le fera se tenir devant le sacrificateur, et le sacrificateur en fera l’estimation: le sacrificateur en fera l’estimation à raison de ce que peut atteindre la main de celui qui a fait le vœu.
‘If anyone who has made such a solemn promise is very poor and unable to pay, to free that person from doing what he had promised, he must take that person to the priest. The priest will set the price [for freeing him] to be what the person who made that solemn promise is able to pay.
9 Et si c’est une des bêtes qu’on présente en offrande à l’Éternel, tout ce qu’on donnera à l’Éternel sera saint.
‘If someone solemnly promises to give an animal that is acceptable to be an offering to me, that animal becomes sacred [and belongs to me].
10 On ne la changera pas, et on ne la remplacera pas par une autre, une bonne par une mauvaise, ou une mauvaise par une bonne; et si l’on remplace, en quelque manière que ce soit, une bête par une autre, celle-ci et celle qui la remplacera seront saintes.
The person who promised to give it must not give another animal instead of the one that he promised; he must not substitute a bad animal for a good one or even a better one than the one offered. If he would substitute one animal for the other, both animals would belong to me.
11 Et si c’est quelque bête impure qu’on ne peut présenter en offrande à l’Éternel, on placera la bête devant le sacrificateur,
If the animal that he wishes to dedicate to me is a kind that is unacceptable to be an offering to me, he must take that animal to the priest.
12 et le sacrificateur en fera l’estimation, selon qu’elle sera bonne ou mauvaise; il en sera selon ton estimation, sacrificateur!
The priest will then decide what its value is, according to the animal’s good and bad points. Whatever value the priests sets will be the value of the animal, [and that is the price that the priest must pay for the animal].
13 Et si on veut la racheter, alors on ajoutera un cinquième à ton estimation.
If the man who gave the animal later decides that he wants to buy it back, he must pay [to the priest] that price plus an additional 20 percent.
14 Et quand quelqu’un sanctifiera sa maison pour qu’elle soit sainte, [consacrée] à l’Éternel, le sacrificateur en fera l’estimation, selon qu’elle sera bonne ou mauvaise; on s’en tiendra à l’estimation que le sacrificateur en fera.
‘[Similarly], if someone dedicates his house to be a sacred gift to belong to me, the priest will decide how much it is worth, which will depend on whether the house is in good condition. Whatever the priest says that it is worth, that will be its value [and that is the price that the priest must pay for it].
15 Et si celui qui l’a sanctifiée rachète sa maison, il ajoutera le cinquième de l’argent de ton estimation par-dessus, et elle lui appartiendra.
If the man who dedicated his house to me later wants to buy it back, he must pay that price plus an additional 20 percent, and then the house will belong to him again.
16 Et si quelqu’un sanctifie à l’Éternel une partie du champ de sa possession, ton estimation sera à raison de ce qu’on peut y semer: le khomer de semence d’orge à 50 sicles d’argent.
‘If someone dedicates to me some of the property that belongs to him and his family, its value will be determined by the number of bushels of seed that will be needed to plant seeds on that land: Its value will be ten pieces of silver for each bushel of seed.
17 S’il sanctifie son champ dès l’année du Jubilé, on s’en tiendra à ton estimation.
If he dedicates the land during the Year of Celebration, its full value will be that amount.
18 Et si c’est après le Jubilé qu’il sanctifie son champ, le sacrificateur lui comptera l’argent à raison des années qui restent jusqu’à l’année du Jubilé, et il sera fait une réduction sur ton estimation.
But if he dedicates the field after the Year of Celebration, the priest will count the number of years until the next Year of Celebration, and if there are not many years that remain, the price will be much lower [than the full price].
19 Et si celui qui a sanctifié le champ veut le racheter, il ajoutera le cinquième de l’argent de ton estimation par-dessus, et il lui restera.
If the person who dedicated the field later wants to buy it back, he must pay [to the priest] the price that the priest says it is worth, plus an added one-fifth, and then the field will belong to that man again.
20 Et s’il ne rachète pas le champ ou qu’il vende le champ à un autre homme, il ne pourra plus être racheté.
However, if he does not buy it back, or if it has been sold (OR, the priest has sold it) to someone else, that person will never be permitted to buy it back again.
21 Et le champ, en étant libéré au Jubilé, sera saint, [consacré] à l’Éternel, comme un champ voué; la possession en sera au sacrificateur.
In the Year of Celebration, it will become sacred again, and it will be given to the priest.
22 Et s’il sanctifie à l’Éternel un champ qu’il ait acheté, qui ne soit pas des champs de sa possession,
‘If someone dedicates to me some land that he has bought, land which is not part of the land that his family has always owned,
23 le sacrificateur lui comptera le montant de ton estimation jusqu’à l’année du Jubilé, et il donnera, ce jour-là, le montant de ton estimation, comme une chose sainte [consacrée] à l’Éternel;
the priest will count the number of years until the next Year of Celebration to determine how much it is worth, and the man must pay that amount to the priest on that day, [and then that land will belong to that man again].
24 dans l’année du Jubilé, le champ retournera à celui de qui il l’avait acheté et à qui appartenait la possession de la terre.
But in the Year of Celebration, the land will again be owned by the person from whom he bought it, the person whose family had always owned that land.
25 Et toute estimation que tu auras faite sera selon le sicle du sanctuaire: le sicle sera de 20 guéras.
All the silver that is paid must be compared with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
26 Seulement, le premier-né d’entre les bêtes, qui est offert comme prémices à l’Éternel, nul ne pourra le sanctifier: si c’est un bœuf ou un agneau, il est à l’Éternel.
‘No one is permitted to dedicate to me the firstborn of any cow or sheep, because the firstborn already belongs to me [DOU].
27 Et s’il est des bêtes impures, on le rachètera selon ton estimation, et on ajoutera un cinquième par-dessus; et si on ne le rachète pas, il sera vendu selon ton estimation.
If someone gives to me a kind of animal that is not acceptable to me, that person may later buy it back by paying what it is worth plus an additional 20 percent of its value. If he does not buy it back, it must be sold (OR, the priest must sell it) for its standard price.
28 Seulement, aucune chose vouée que quelqu’un aura vouée à l’Éternel, de tout ce qu’il a, soit homme, ou bête, ou champ de sa possession, ne se vendra ni ne se rachètera: toute chose vouée sera très sainte, [consacrée] à l’Éternel.
‘However, no slave or animal or family land that someone owns can be sold or bought back after it has been dedicated to me [and no price has been paid for it]. That kind of gift belongs to me permanently/forever.
29 Quiconque d’entre les hommes est voué [à Dieu] ne pourra être racheté: il sera certainement mis à mort.
‘No person who has [done something that I consider to be very wicked] is permitted to be freed [from being punished]; that person must surely be executed.
30 Et toute dîme de la terre, de la semence de la terre, du fruit des arbres, est à l’Éternel: c’est une chose sainte [consacrée] à l’Éternel.
‘One tenth of all the crops and grain or fruit that is produced on anyone’s land is sacred and belongs to me.
31 Et si quelqu’un veut racheter quelque chose de sa dîme, il y ajoutera un cinquième par-dessus.
If anyone wants to buy back any of that tenth, he must pay [to the priest] what it is worth plus an additional 20 percent.
32 Quant à toute dîme du gros et du menu bétail, de tout ce qui passe sous la verge, la dîme sera sainte, [consacrée] à l’Éternel.
One of every ten domestic animals belongs to me. When a shepherd counts his animals [MTY] [to decide which ones he will give to me], he must mark every tenth one as belonging to me.
33 On ne distinguera pas entre le bon et le mauvais, et on ne le changera pas; et si on le change, la bête changée et celle qui la remplace seront saintes, elles ne seront pas rachetées.
When he does that, he must not pick out the good ones for himself or leave the bad ones, or substitute bad ones for good ones. If he substitutes one animal for another, both animals will belong to me, and he will not be permitted to buy them back (OR, the shepherd cannot buy them back).’”
34 Ce sont là les commandements que l’Éternel commanda à Moïse pour les fils d’Israël, sur la montagne de Sinaï.
Those are the commands that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain [to tell to the people].
