Lévitique 14

1 L’Éternel parla à Moïse en ces termes:

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 "Voici quelle sera la règle imposée au lépreux lorsqu’il redeviendra pur: il sera présenté au pontife.

This is the law of the leper on the day when he is made clean: he is to be taken to the priest;

3 Le pontife se transportera hors du camp, et constatera que la plaie de lèpre a quitté le lépreux.

And the priest is to go outside the tent-circle; and if, after looking, the priest sees that the mark of the disease has gone from him,

4 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.

Then the priest is to give orders to take, for him who is to be made clean, two living clean birds and some cedar wood and red thread and hyssop.

5 Le pontife ordonnera qu’on égorge l’un des oiseaux, au-dessus d’un vaisseau d’argile, sur de l’eau vive.

And the priest will give orders for one of the birds to be put to death in a vessel made of earth, over flowing water.

6 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;

And he will take the living bird and the wood and the red thread and the hyssop and put them in the blood of the bird which was put to death over flowing water.

7 en fera sept aspersions sur celui qui se purifie de la lèpre, et, l’ayant purifié, lâchera l’oiseau vivant dans la campagne.

And shaking it seven times over the man who is to be made clean, he will say that he is clean and will let the living bird go free into the open country.

8 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.

And he who is to be made clean will have his clothing washed and his hair cut and have a bath, and he will be clean. And after that he will come back to the tent-circle; but he is to keep outside his tent for seven days.

9 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.

And on the seventh day he is to have all the hair cut off his head and his chin and over his eyes — all his hair is to be cut off — and he will have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and he will be clean.

10 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.

And on the eighth day let him take two male lambs, without any marks on them, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, and three tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.

11 Le pontife purificateur présentera l’homme qui se purifie, ainsi que ces objets, devant le Seigneur, à l’entrée de la Tente d’assignation;

And the priest who is making him clean will put the man who is being made clean, together with these things, before the door of the Tent of meeting.

12 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.

And the priest is to take one of the male lambs and give it as an offering for wrongdoing, and the log of oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;

13 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.

And he is to put the male lamb to death in the place where they put to death the sin-offering and the burned offering, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering is the property of the priest, so is the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.

14 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.

And let the priest take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

15 Puis le pontife prendra le log d’huile et en fera couler dans la main gauche du pontife.

And take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand;

16 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.

And let the priest put his right finger in the oil which is in his left hand, shaking it out with his finger seven times before the Lord;

17 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.

And of the rest of the oil which is in his hand, the priest will put some on the point of the right ear of the man who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, over the blood of the offering for wrongdoing;

18 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.

And the rest of the oil in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to be made clean; and so the priest will make him free from sin before the Lord.

19 Alors le pontife s’occupera de l’expiatoire, et fera expier son impureté à celui qui se purifie; puis il immolera l’holocauste.

And the priest will give the sin-offering, and take away the sin of him who is to be made clean from his unclean condition; and after that he will put the burned offering to death.

20 Le pontife offrira cet holocauste, ainsi que l’oblation, sur l’autel, fera ainsi expiation pour lui, et il sera pur.

And the priest is to have the burned offering and the meal offering burned on the altar; and the priest will take away his sin and he will be clean.

21 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;

And if he is poor and not able to get so much, then he may take one male lamb as an offering for wrongdoing, to be waved to take away his sin, and one tenth part of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;

22 puis deux tourterelles ou deux jeunes colombes, selon que le permettront ses moyens; l’une sera un expiatoire, l’autre un holocauste.

And two doves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and one will be for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering.

23 Il les apportera, le huitième jour de sa purification, au pontife, à l’entrée de la Tente d’assignation, devant le Seigneur.

And on the eighth day he will take them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, so that he may be made clean.

24 Le pontife prendra l’agneau délictif et le log d’huile, et en opérera le balancement devant le Seigneur.

And the priest will take the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;

25 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.

And he will put to death the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the priest will take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

26 Puis le pontife versera une partie de l’huile dans la main gauche du pontife;

And the priest will put out some of the oil in the hollow of his left hand,

27 fera avec l’index droit, de cette huile qui est dans sa main gauche, sept aspersions devant le Seigneur,

Shaking out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven times:

28 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.

And the priest will put some of the oil which is in his hand on the point of the ear of the man who is to be made clean and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place where the blood of the offering for wrongdoing was put;

29 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.

And the rest of the oil which is in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to be made clean, to take away his sin before the Lord.

30 Puis il traitera l’une des tourterelles ou des jeunes colombes, des victimes qu’on aura pu fournir;

And he will make an offering of one of the doves or the young pigeons, such as he is able to get;

31 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.

And of these, he will give one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, with the meal offering; and the priest will take away the sin of him who is to be made clean before the Lord.

32 Telle est la règle pour la purification de celui qui a eu une plaie de lèpre, quand ses moyens sont insuffisants."

This is the law for the man who has the disease of the leper on him, and who is not able to get that which is necessary for making himself clean.

33 L’Éternel parla à Moïse et à Aaron en ces termes:

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

34 "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,

When you have come into the land of Canaan which I will give you for your heritage, if I put the leper's disease on a house in the land of your heritage,

35 celui a qui sera la maison ira le déclarer au pontife, en disant: "J’Ai observé quelque altération à ma maison."

Then let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's disease in the house.

36 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.

And the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house;

37 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,

And if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall;

38 le pontife se dirigera de la maison vers l’entrée de la maison, et la fera fermer pour sept jours.

Then the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up for seven days:

39 Le pontife y retournera le septième jour. S’Il observe que la plaie a grandi sur les murs de la maison,

And the priest is to come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the marks on the walls of the house are increased in size;

40 il ordonnera qu’on détache les pierres atteintes par la plaie et qu’on les jette hors de la ville, dans un lieu impur.

Then the priest will give orders to them to take out the stones in which the disease is seen, and put them out into an unclean place outside the town:

41 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.

And he will have the house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed off will be put out into an unclean place outside the town:

42 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.

And they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house.

43 Et si la plaie recommence à se développer dans la maison après qu’on a gratté et recrépi la maison,

And if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on,

44 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.

Then the priest will come and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased in size, it is the leper's disease working out in the house: it is unclean.

45 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.

And the house will have to be pulled down, the stones of it and the wood and the paste; and everything is to be taken out to an unclean place outside the town.

46 Celui qui entrera dans la maison tout le temps qu’on l’a déclarée close, sera souillé jusqu’au soir.

And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening.

47 Celui qui couchera dans cette maison, lavera ses vêtements, et celui qui y mangera doit les laver de même.

And anyone who has been sleeping in the house will have to have his clothing washed; and anyone who takes food in that house will have to have his clothing washed.

48 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.

And if the priest comes in, and sees that the disease is not increased after the new paste has been put on the house, then the priest will say that the house is clean, because the disease is gone.

49 Il prendra, pour purifier la maison, deux oiseaux, ainsi que du bois de cèdre, de l’écarlate et de l’hysope.

And in order to make the house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and red thread and hyssop;

50 Il égorgera l’un des oiseaux, au-dessus d’un vase d’argile, sur de l’eau vive;

And put one of the birds to death in a vessel of earth over flowing water;

51 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.

And take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread and the living bird and put them in the blood of the dead bird and in the flowing water, shaking it over the house seven times.

52 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.

And he will make the house clean with the blood of the bird and the flowing water and with the living bird and with the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread.

53 Il lâchera l’oiseau vivant hors de la ville, dans la campagne, et fera ainsi propitiation pour la maison, qui deviendra pure.

But he will let the living bird go out of the town into the open country; so he will take away sin from the house and it will be clean.

54 Telle est l’instruction relative à toute affection de lèpre et à la teigne;

This is the law for all signs of the leper's disease and for skin diseases;

55 à la lèpre des étoffes, à celle des maisons;

And for signs of disease in clothing, or in a house;

56 à la tumeur, à la dartre et à la tache,

And for a growth or a bad place or a bright mark on the skin;

57 pour enseigner l’époque où l’on est impur et celle où l’on est pur. Telle est la règle de la lèpre."

To make clear when it is unclean and when it is clean: this is the law about the disease of the leper.
