Lévitique 24
1 L’Éternel parla à Moïse, et dit:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Ordonne aux enfants d’Israël de t’apporter pour le chandelier de l’huile pure d’olives concassées, afin d’entretenir les lampes continuellement.
“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.
3 C’est en dehors du voile qui est devant le témoignage, dans la tente d’assignation, qu’Aaron la préparera, pour que les lampes brûlent continuellement du soir au matin en présence de l’Éternel. C’est une loi perpétuelle pour vos descendants.
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.
4 Il arrangera les lampes sur le chandelier d’or pur, pour qu’elles brûlent continuellement devant l’Éternel.
Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
5 Tu prendras de la fleur de farine, et tu en feras douze gâteaux; chaque gâteau sera de deux dixièmes.
“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.
6 Tu les placeras en deux piles, six par pile, sur la table d’or pur devant l’Éternel.
Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
7 Tu mettras de l’encens pur sur chaque pile, et il sera sur le pain comme souvenir, comme une offrande consumée par le feu devant l’Éternel.
Along each row, place [in some gold cups] some pure incense to be burned to be an offering to me instead of the bread.
8 Chaque jour de sabbat, on rangera ces pains devant l’Éternel, continuellement: c’est une alliance perpétuelle qu’observeront les enfants d’Israël.
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.
9 Ils appartiendront à Aaron et à ses fils, et ils les mangeront dans un lieu saint; car ce sera pour eux une chose très sainte, une part des offrandes consumées par le feu devant l’Éternel. C’est une loi perpétuelle.
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.”
10 Le fils d’une femme israélite et d’un homme égyptien, étant venu au milieu des enfants d’Israël, se querella dans le camp avec un homme israélite.
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].
11 Le fils de la femme israélite blasphéma et maudit le nom de Dieu. On l’amena à Moïse. Sa mère s’appelait Schelomith, fille de Dibri, de la tribu de Dan.
12 On le mit en prison, jusqu’à ce que Moïse eût déclaré ce que l’Éternel ordonnerait.
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].
13 L’Éternel parla à Moïse, et dit:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
14 Fais sortir du camp le blasphémateur; tous ceux qui l’ont entendu poseront leurs mains sur sa tête, et toute l’assemblée le lapidera.
“[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.
15 Tu parleras aux enfants d’Israël, et tu diras: Quiconque maudira son Dieu portera la peine de son péché.
Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
16 Celui qui blasphémera le nom de l’Éternel sera puni de mort: toute l’assemblée le lapidera. Qu’il soit étranger ou indigène, il mourra, pour avoir blasphémé le nom de Dieu.
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.’
17 Celui qui frappera un homme mortellement sera puni de mort.
“Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
18 Celui qui frappera un animal mortellement le remplacera: vie pour vie.
And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
19 Si quelqu’un blesse son prochain, il lui sera fait comme il a fait:
And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
20 fracture pour fracture, œil pour œil, dent pour dent; il lui sera fait la même blessure qu’il a faite à son prochain.
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.
21 Celui qui tuera un animal le remplacera, mais celui qui tuera un homme sera puni de mort.
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.
22 Vous aurez la même loi, l’étranger comme l’indigène; car je suis l’Éternel, votre Dieu.
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].”
23 Moïse parla aux enfants d’Israël; ils firent sortir du camp le blasphémateur, et ils le lapidèrent. Les enfants d’Israël se conformèrent à l’ordre que l’Éternel avait donné à Moïse.
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].
