Lévitique 15
1 L’Éternel parla à Moïse et à Aaron, et dit:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me and Aaron,
2 Parlez aux enfants d’Israël, et dites-leur: Tout homme qui a une gonorrhée est par là même impur.
“Tell this to the Israelis: When an infected discharge comes out of a man’s sexual organs [EUP], that fluid should not be touched.
3 C’est à cause de sa gonorrhée qu’il est impur: que sa chair laisse couler son flux, ou qu’elle le retienne, il est impur.
Whether that fluid is blocked or continues to drip, it causes him to be someone who should not be touched.
4 Tout lit sur lequel il couchera sera impur, et tout objet sur lequel il s’assiéra sera impur.
“And any bed that such a man lies on should not be touched, and anything that he sits on should not be touched.
5 Celui qui touchera son lit lavera ses vêtements, se lavera dans l’eau, et sera impur jusqu’au soir.
Anyone who touches that person’s bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
6 Celui qui s’assiéra sur l’objet sur lequel il s’est assis lavera ses vêtements, se lavera dans l’eau, et sera impur jusqu’au soir.
Anyone who sits on something that man has sat on must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
7 Celui qui touchera sa chair lavera ses vêtements, se lavera dans l’eau, et sera impur jusqu’au soir.
“Anyone who touches such a man must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
8 S’il crache sur un homme pur, cet homme lavera ses vêtements, se lavera dans l’eau, et sera impur jusqu’au soir.
“If such a man spits on someone else, that person who is spit upon should not be touched. He must wash his clothes, and no one should touch him until that evening.
9 Toute monture sur laquelle il s’assiéra sera impure.
“Everything that a man who has such a discharge of fluid sits on while he is riding [a horse or a donkey] should not be touched,
10 Celui qui touchera une chose quelconque qui a été sous lui sera impur jusqu’au soir; et celui qui la portera lavera ses vêtements, se lavera dans l’eau, et sera impur jusqu’au soir.
and anyone who touches the seat or saddle that he was sitting on also should not be touched until that evening. And anyone who picks up the seat or saddle must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
11 Celui qui sera touché par lui, et qui ne se sera pas lavé les mains dans l’eau, lavera ses vêtements, se lavera dans l’eau, et sera impur jusqu’au soir.

“If such a man touches a clay pot, that pot must be broken into pieces. Anything made from wood that he touches must be rinsed in water.
13 Lorsqu’il sera purifié de son flux, il comptera sept jours pour sa purification; il lavera ses vêtements, il lavera sa chair avec de l’eau vive, et il sera pur.
“If such a man is healed from his flow of fluid, he must wait for seven days. Then he must wash his clothes and bathe in water from a spring. Then he will be able to be with others.
14 Le huitième jour, il prendra deux tourterelles ou deux jeunes pigeons, il ira devant l’Éternel, à l’entrée de la tente d’assignation, et il les donnera au sacrificateur.
On the eighth/next day, he must take two doves or two young pigeons and come in front of Yahweh at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and give them to the priest.
15 Le sacrificateur les offrira, l’un en sacrifice d’expiation, et l’autre en holocauste; et le sacrificateur fera pour lui l’expiation devant l’Éternel, à cause de son flux.
The priest will sacrifice them. One will be an offering for the man to become acceptable to God, and the other one will be completely burned [on the altar]. As a result of the priest doing that, the man will be forgiven for having sinned.
16 L’homme qui aura une pollution lavera tout son corps dans l’eau, et sera impur jusqu’au soir.
“Then semen accidentally flows from a man’s sexual organs [EUP], he must bathe his whole body, and no one should touch him until that evening.
17 Tout vêtement et toute peau qui en seront atteints seront lavés dans l’eau, et seront impurs jusqu’au soir.

“Then a woman has her monthly menstrual period, no one should touch her for seven days. If anyone touches her [during that time], no one should touch the person who touched her until that evening.
20 Tout lit sur lequel elle couchera pendant son impureté sera impur, et tout objet sur lequel elle s’assiéra sera impur.
No one should touch anything that she lies on or sits on during that time.
21 Quiconque touchera son lit lavera ses vêtements, se lavera dans l’eau, et sera impur jusqu’au soir.

Anyone who touches something that she has been sitting on, a bed or anything else, must wash his clothes, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
23 S’il y a quelque chose sur le lit ou sur l’objet sur lequel elle s’est assise, celui qui la touchera sera impur jusqu’au soir.
24 Si un homme couche avec elle et que l’impureté de cette femme vienne sur lui, il sera impur pendant sept jours, et tout lit sur lequel il couchera sera impur.

25 La femme qui aura un flux de sang pendant plusieurs jours hors de ses époques régulières, ou dont le flux durera plus qu’à l’ordinaire, sera impure tout le temps de son flux, comme au temps de son indisposition menstruelle.
“Then a woman has a vaginal discharge of blood for (many days/a long time), which is not her monthly flow of blood, or if her flow of blood continues after her monthly flow ends, no one should touch her until it stops.

And no one should touch the bed that she lies on or anything that she sits on while that flow of blood continues, just like during her monthly menstrual period.
27 Quiconque les touchera sera souillé; il lavera ses vêtements, se lavera dans l’eau, et sera impur jusqu’au soir.
Anyone who touches those things should not touch anyone else; he must wash his clothes and bathe, and he should not touch anyone else until that evening.
28 Lorsqu’elle sera purifiée de son flux, elle comptera sept jours, après lesquels elle sera pure.
“After a woman’s monthly menstrual flow ends, she must wait seven days before she touches anyone.
29 Le huitième jour, elle prendra deux tourterelles ou deux jeunes pigeons, et elle les apportera au sacrificateur, à l’entrée de la tente d’assignation.
On the eighth/next day, she must take two doves or two pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
30 Le sacrificateur offrira l’un en sacrifice d’expiation, et l’autre en holocauste; et le sacrificateur fera pour elle l’expiation devant l’Éternel, à cause du flux qui la rendait impure.
The priest will sacrifice one of them to be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again, and completely burn the other one [on the altar]. By doing that he will cause me, Yahweh, to forgive her for having sinned [DOU].
31 Vous éloignerez les enfants d’Israël de leurs impuretés, de peur qu’ils ne meurent à cause de leurs impuretés, s’ils souillent mon tabernacle qui est au milieu d’eux.
“You must warn the Israeli people not to do things that (defile them/cause them to be unacceptable to me). If they become (unacceptable to me/defiled), they will cause my Sacred Tent which is among them to become an unacceptable place to worship me, and as a result they will die.”
32 Telle est la loi pour celui qui a une gonorrhée ou qui est souillé par une pollution,
“Those are the regulations for a man who has a fluid that flows from his sexual organs or who should not be touched because some of his semen spills out while having sex [with a woman],
33 pour celle qui a son flux menstruel, pour l’homme ou la femme qui a un flux, et pour l’homme qui couche avec une femme impure.
and for any woman during her monthly menstrual period, and for any man who has sex with a woman during her menstrual period.”
