Lévitique 9
1 Le huitième jour, Moïse appela Aaron et ses fils, et les anciens d’Israël.
Eight days later, Moses/I summoned the elders of Israel.
2 Il dit à Aaron: Prends un jeune veau pour le sacrifice d’expiation, et un bélier pour l’holocauste, l’un et l’autre sans défaut, et sacrifie-les devant l’Éternel.
Then he/I said to Aaron, “Take a young bull for the offering to enable you leaders to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and a ram to be completely burned [on the altar], both of them without any defects, and offer them to Yahweh.
3 Tu parleras aux enfants d’Israël, et tu diras: Prenez un bouc, pour le sacrifice d’expiation, un veau et un agneau, âgés d’un an et sans défaut, pour l’holocauste;
Then say to the Israeli people, ‘Take one male goat for the offering to enable you all to be forgiven for the sins you have committed. Also take a calf and a lamb that have no defects, to be an offering completely burned [on the altar].
4 un bœuf et un bélier, pour le sacrifice d’actions de grâces, afin de les sacrifier devant l’Éternel; et une offrande pétrie à l’huile. Car aujourd’hui l’Éternel vous apparaîtra.
Also take an ox and a ram to be an offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh], along with an offering of flour mixed with olive oil. Do this because today Yahweh is going to appear to you.’”
5 Ils amenèrent devant la tente d’assignation ce que Moïse avait ordonné; et toute l’assemblée s’approcha, et se tint devant l’Éternel.
[After Moses/I told this to the Israeli people, some of them] took the things that Moses/I had commanded them to take, and went to the courtyard in front of the Sacred Tent. Then all the people came near and stood in front of Yahweh.
6 Moïse dit: Vous ferez ce que l’Éternel a ordonné; et la gloire de l’Éternel vous apparaîtra.
Then Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded you to do, in order that his glory will appear to you.”
7 Moïse dit à Aaron: Approche-toi de l’autel; offre ton sacrifice d’expiation et ton holocauste, et fais l’expiation pour toi et pour le peuple; offre aussi le sacrifice du peuple, et fais l’expiation pour lui, comme l’Éternel l’a ordonné.
Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice the animal that is your offering to enable you to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and the animal that will be completely burned there. Because of those offerings, God will forgive you and the people for the sins that you have committed [DOU]. Do those things that Yahweh has commanded.”
8 Aaron s’approcha de l’autel, et il égorgea le veau pour son sacrifice d’expiation.
So Aaron came close to the altar and slaughtered the calf to be an offering for his sins.
9 Les fils d’Aaron lui présentèrent le sang; il trempa son doigt dans le sang, en mit sur les cornes de l’autel, et répandit le sang au pied de l’autel.
His sons brought its blood to him [in a bowl]. He dipped his finger into the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
10 Il brûla sur l’autel la graisse, les rognons, et le grand lobe du foie de la victime expiatoire, comme l’Éternel l’avait ordonné à Moïse.
He/I burned the fat, including that which covered the kidneys and the liver, as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
11 Mais il brûla au feu hors du camp la chair et la peau.
Then Aaron burned [the rest of] the meat and the hide/skin outside the camp.
12 Il égorgea l’holocauste. Les fils d’Aaron lui présentèrent le sang, et il le répandit sur l’autel tout autour.
Then Aaron slaughtered the animal that would be completely burned [on the altar]. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] its blood, and he sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.
13 Ils lui présentèrent l’holocauste coupé par morceaux, avec la tête, et il les brûla sur l’autel.
Then they handed him the head and the pieces of the animal that would be burned, and he burned them on the altar.
14 Il lava les entrailles et les jambes, et il les brûla sur l’autel, par dessus l’holocauste.
He washed the inner parts and the legs of the animal, and burned them on the altar, on top of the other pieces of the animal.
15 Ensuite, il offrit le sacrifice du peuple. Il prit le bouc pour le sacrifice expiatoire du peuple, il l’égorgea, et l’offrit en expiation, comme la première victime.
Then Aaron brought the animals that would be sacrifices for the Israeli people. He took the goat and slaughtered it to be an offering to enable them to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, like he had done with the goat for his own offering.
16 Il offrit l’holocauste, et le sacrifia, d’après les règles établies.
Then he brought the animal for the offering to be completely burned. He slaughtered it and offered it in the way that Yahweh had commanded him to do.
17 Il présenta l’offrande, en prit une poignée, et la brûla sur l’autel, outre l’holocauste du matin.
He also brought the offering of grain. He took a handful of it and burned it on the altar, like he had done for the animal that he had slaughtered and completely burned [on the altar] in the morning.
18 Il égorgea le bœuf et le bélier, en sacrifice d’actions de grâces pour le peuple. Les fils d’Aaron lui présentèrent le sang, et il le répandit sur l’autel tout autour.
Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, to be an offering for the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] the blood, and he sprinkled the blood against all sides of the altar.
19 Ils lui présentèrent la graisse du bœuf et du bélier, la queue, la graisse qui couvre les entrailles, les rognons, et le grand lobe du foie;
But he took the fat from the ox and the ram, including their fat tails that were cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covered the livers and the kidneys.
20 ils mirent les graisses sur les poitrines, et il brûla les graisses sur l’autel.
He put them on top of the breasts of those animals and carried them to the altar to be burned.
21 Aaron agita de côté et d’autre devant l’Éternel les poitrines et l’épaule droite, comme Moïse l’avait ordonné.
Then, doing what Moses/I had commanded, he lifted up in front of Yahweh the breast and the right thigh of those animals, to signify that those two animals completely belonged to Yahweh.
22 Aaron leva ses mains vers le peuple, et il le bénit. Puis il descendit, après avoir offert le sacrifice d’expiation, l’holocauste et le sacrifice d’actions de grâces.
Then Aaron lifted his arms toward the people and [asked Yahweh to] bless them. Then having finished making all those offerings, he stepped down [from the place where the altar was].
23 Moïse et Aaron entrèrent dans la tente d’assignation. Lorsqu’ils en sortirent, ils bénirent le peuple. Et la gloire de l’Éternel apparut à tout le peuple.
Then Aaron and Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent. When they/we later came out, they/we [asked Yahweh to] bless the people. And suddenly the glory/brightness of Yahweh appeared to all the people.
24 Le feu sortit de devant l’Éternel, et consuma sur l’autel l’holocauste et les graisses. Tout le peuple le vit; et ils poussèrent des cris de joie, et se jetèrent sur leur face.
A fire from Yahweh appeared and burned up the offering that was to be completely burned and the fat that was on the altar. And when all the people saw that, they shouted joyfully and prostrated themselves on the ground [to worship Yahweh].
