Lévitique 15
1 Le Seigneur parla encore à Moïse et à Aaron, disant:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me and Aaron,
2 Parlez aux enfants d’Israël et dites-leur: Un homme qui a la gonorrhée sera 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 Or, on jugera qu’il est atteint de cette maladie, lorsqu’à chaque moment s’attachera à sa chair et s’accroîtra une humeur sale.
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 aura dormi, sera impur, et tout endroit où il se sera assis.
“And any bed that such a man lies on should not be touched, and anything that he sits on should not be touched.
5 Si quelque homme touche son lit, il lavera ses vêtements, et lui-même, s’étant lavé dans l’eau, 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 S’il s’assied où cet homme s’est assis, il lavera lui aussi ses vêtements; et s’étant lavé dans l’eau, il 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 aura touché sa chair, lavera ses vêtements; et lui-même s’étant lavé dans l’eau, il 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 Si un homme, en cet état, jette de sa salive sur celui qui est pur, celui-ci lavera ses vêtements; et s’étant lavé dans l’eau, il 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 Le bât sur lequel il se sera assis, sera impur;
“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 Et tout ce qui aura été sous celui qui a la gonorrhée sera souillé jusqu’au soir. Celui qui portera quelqu’une de ces choses, lavera ses vêtements; et lui-même, s’étant lavé dans l’eau, 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 Tout homme qu’aura touché celui qui est en cet état, avant d’avoir lavé ses mains, lavera ses vêtements; et s’étant lavé dans l’eau, il sera impur jusqu’au soir.
Anyone whom the man with such a discharge of fluid from his body touches without first rinsing his hands in water must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
12 Un vase de terre qu’il aura touché, sera brisé; mais un vase de bois sera lavé dans l’eau;
“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 Mais si celui qui endure une pareille maladie guérit, il comptera sept jours après sa purification, et, ses vêtements et tout son corps lavés dans des eaux vives, 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 Mais au huitième jour, il prendra deux tourterelles, ou deux petits de colombe, et il viendra en la présence du Seigneur à la porte du tabernacle de témoignage, et les donnera au prêtre,
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 Qui en sacrifiera un pour le péché et l’autre en holocauste; et le prêtre priera pour lui devant le Seigneur, afin qu’il soit purifié de sa gonorrhée.
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 Un homme qui a usé du mariage, lavera dans l’eau tout son corps, et il 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 Il lavera dans l’eau le vêtement et la peau qu’il avait sur lui, et elle sera impure jusqu’au soir.
Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed, and no one should touch it until that evening.
18 La femme dont il se sera approché sera lavée dans l’eau, et elle sera impure jusqu’au soir.
When a man has sex with a woman and some semen spills, both of them must bathe, and no one should touch them until that evening.
19 Une femme, qui au retour du mois éprouve un écoulement de sang, sera séparée pendant sept jours.
“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 Quiconque la touchera sera impur jusqu’au soir;
No one should touch anything that she lies on or sits on during that time.
21 Et l’endroit dans lequel elle aura dormi, ou se sera assise dans les jours de sa séparation, sera souillé.
Anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
22 Celui qui aura touché son lit, lavera ses vêtements; et lui-même, s’étant lavé dans l’eau, 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 Quiconque aura touché un meuble, quel qu’il soit, sur lequel elle se sera assise, lavera ses vêtements; et lui-même, s’étant lavé dans l’eau, il sera souillé jusqu’au soir.
24 Si un homme s’approche d’elle dans le temps de ses mois, il sera impur pendant sept jours; et tout lit sur lequel il dormira sera souillé.
“If a man has sex with a woman [during that time] and some of the menstrual blood touches him, no one should touch him for seven days, and no one should touch the bed that he lies on.
25 Une femme, qui éprouve pendant plusieurs jours une perte de sang, hors le temps menstruel, ou qui après le sang menstruel ne cesse pas d’avoir cette perte, tant qu’elle sera atteinte de cette maladie, sera impure, comme si elle était dans le temps menstruel.
“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.
26 Tout lit sur lequel elle aura dormi, et tout meuble sur lequel elle aura été assise, sera souillé.
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 aura touché ces choses, lavera ses vêtements; et lui-même, s’étant lavé dans l’eau, 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 Si le sang s’arrête, et cesse découler, elle comptera sept jours jusqu’à sa purification;
“After a woman’s monthly menstrual flow ends, she must wait seven days before she touches anyone.
29 Et au huitième jour, elle offrira pour elle au prêtre deux tourterelles ou deux petits de colombes à la porte du tabernacle de témoignage.
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 prêtre en sacrifiera un pour le péché et l’autre en holocauste; et il priera pour elle devant le Seigneur, et pour la cause de son impureté.
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 instruirez donc les enfants d’Israël, afin qu’ils se gardent de l’impureté, et qu’ils ne meurent point dans leurs souillures, lorsqu’ils auront profané mon tabernacle, qui est au milieu de vous.
“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 de celui qui a la gonorrhée, et qui se souille en usant du mariage,
“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 Et de celle qui est séparée à cause de ses mois, ou qui éprouve une perte de sang continuelle, et de l’homme qui aura dormi avec elle.
and for any woman during her monthly menstrual period, and for any man who has sex with a woman during her menstrual period.”
