| 1 | If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him: | Si, sur le sol que Yahweh, ton Dieu, te donne pour le posséder, on trouve un homme tué, gisant dans les champs, sans que l'on sache qui l'a frappé, | If one be found slain in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath smitten him; |
| 2 | Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain: | tes anciens et tes juges iront mesurer les distances jusqu'aux villes des environs de l'endroit où est l'homme tué. | then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain: |
| 3 | And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke; | Et, quant à la ville la plus proche de l'homme tué, les anciens de cette ville prendront une génisse qui n'aura pas encore été employée au travail et qui n'aura pas tiré au joug. | and it shall be, that the city which is nearest unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke; |
| 4 | And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley: | Les anciens de cette ville feront descendre la génisse vers un ruisseau permanent, dans un lieu qui n'a reçu ni culture ni semence, et là ils briseront la nuque de la génisse dans le ruisseau. | and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer`s neck there in the valley. |
| 5 | And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried: | Les prêtres, fils de Lévi, s'approcheront; car ce sont eux que Yahweh, ton Dieu, a choisis pour le servir et pour bénir au nom de Yahweh, et c'est sur leur parole que se juge toute contestation et toute blessure. | And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Jehovah thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of Jehovah; and according to their word shall every controversy and every stroke be. |
| 6 | And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley: | Tous les anciens de cette ville, comme étant les plus voisins de l'homme tué, laveront leurs mains sur la génisse à laquelle on a brisé la nuque dans le ruisseau. | And all the elders of that city, who are nearest unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley; |
| 7 | And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. | Puis ils prendront la parole en disant : «Nos mains n'ont pas répandu ce sang, et nos yeux ne l'ont pas vu répandre. | and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. |
| 8 | Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them. | Pardonnez à votre peuple d'Israël que vous avez racheté, ô Yahweh, et ne laissez pas le sang innocent au milieu de votre peuple d'Israël!» Et ce sang sera expié pour eux | Forgive, O Jehovah, thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and suffer not innocent blood [to remain] in the midst of thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them. |
| 9 | So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD. | c'est ainsi que tu ôteras du milieu de toi le sang innocent, en faisant ce qui est droit aux yeux de Yahweh. | So shalt thou put away the innocent blood from the midst of thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah. |
| 10 | When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, | Quand tu sortiras pour combattre contre tes ennemis, et que Yahweh, ton Dieu, les aura livrés entre tes mains et que tu leur feras des prisonniers, | When thou goest forth to battle against thine enemies, and Jehovah thy God delivereth them into thy hands, and thou carriest them away captive, |
| 11 | And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; | si tu vois parmi les captifs une femme de belle figure, et que, épris d'amour pour elle, tu veuilles l'épouser, | and seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and thou hast a desire unto her, and wouldest take her to thee to wife; |
| 12 | Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; | tu l'amèneras dans l'intérieur de ta maison. Alors elle se rasera la tête et se coupera les ongles; | then thou shalt bring her home to thy house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; |
| 13 | And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. | elle se dépouillera des vêtements de sa captivité, elle demeurera dans ta maison et pleurera pendant un mois son père et sa mère; après quoi, tu iras vers elle, tu seras son mari et elle sera ta femme. | and she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. |
| 14 | And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her. | Si elle cesse de te plaire, tu la laisseras aller où elle voudra, et tu ne pourras pas la vendre pour de l'argent; tu ne la traiteras pas comme une esclave, car tu l'as eue pour femme. | And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not deal with her as a slave, because thou hast humbled her. |
| 15 | If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated: | Si un homme a deux femmes, l'une aimée et l'autre haïe, et qu'elles lui aient enfanté des fils, aussi bien celle qui est aimée que celle qui est haïe, si le fils premier-né est le fils de celle qui est haïe, | If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the first-born son be hers that was hated; |
| 16 | Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn: | il ne pourra pas, le jour où il mettra ses fils en possession de ses biens, faire premier-né le fils de celle qu'il aime, de préférence au fils de celle qu'il hait, celui-ci étant le premier-né. | then it shall be, in the day that he causeth his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved the first-born before the son of the hated, who is the first-born: |
| 17 | But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. | Mais il reconnaîtra comme premier-né le pays de celle qui est haïe, et lui donnera sur tous ses biens une portion double; car ce fils est les prémices de sa vigueur; c'est à lui qu'appartient le droit d'aînesse. | but he shall acknowledge the first-born, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath; for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the first-born is his. |
| 18 | If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: | Si un homme a un fils indocile et rebelle, n'écoutant ni la voix de son père, ni la voix de sa mère et , lors même qu'ils le châtient, ne les écoutant pas, | If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, that will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not hearken unto them; |
| 19 | Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; | son père et sa mère le saisiront et l'amèneront aux anciens de la ville et à la porte du lieu qu'il habite. | then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; |
| 20 | And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. | Ils diront aux anciens de la ville : «Notre fils que voici est indocile et rebelle, il n'écoute pas notre voix, il se livre à la débauche et à l'ivrognerie.» | and they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. |
| 21 | And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. | Et tous les hommes de sa ville le lapideront, et il mourra. Tu ôteras ainsi le mal du milieu de toi, et tout Israël, en l'apprenant, craindra. | And all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. |
| 22 | And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: | Quand un homme, ayant commis un crime capital, aura été mis à mort, et que tu l'auras pendu à un bois, | And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree; |
| 23 | His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. | son cadavre ne passera pas la nuit sur le bois; mais tu ne manqueras pas de l'enterrer le jour même, car un pendu est l'objet de la malédiction de Dieu, et tu ne souilleras pas ton pays, que Yahweh, ton Dieu, te donne pour héritage. | his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt surely bury him the same day; for he that is hanged is accursed of God; that thou defile not thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. |
