| 1 | If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. | Quand il y aura un différend entre des hommes, et qu'ils s'approcheront du tribunal pour qu'on les juge, on justifiera celui qui est dans son droit, et l'on condamnera celui qui a tort. | If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, and [the judges] judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked; |
| 2 | And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number. | Si celui qui a tort a mérité d'être battu, le juge le fera jeter par terre et battre en sa présence, selon la gravité de son crime, d'un certain nombre de coups. | and it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number. |
| 3 | Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee. | Il le fera battre de quarante coups, pas davantage; de peur que si l'on continuait à le battre au-delà, par un châtiment excessif, ton frère ne fût avili à tes yeux. | Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee. |
| 4 | Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. | Tu n'emmuselleras point le boeuf, quand il foule le grain. | Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the grain]. |
| 5 | If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. | Lorsque des frères demeureront ensemble, et que l'un d'entre eux mourra sans enfants, la femme du mort ne se mariera point au-dehors à un étranger; son beau-frère viendra vers elle, la prendra pour femme, et l'épousera comme étant son beau-frère. | If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married without unto a stranger: her husband`s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband`s brother unto her. |
| 6 | And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel. | Et le premier-né qu'elle enfantera, succédera au frère mort, et portera son nom, afin que son nom ne soit pas effacé d'Israël. | And it shall be, that the first-born that she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother that is dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel. |
| 7 | And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother. | Que s'il ne plaît pas à cet homme de prendre sa belle-soeur, sa belle-soeur montera à la porte, vers les anciens, et dira: Mon beau-frère refuse de relever le nom de son frère en Israël, et ne veut point m'épouser par droit de beau-frère. | And if the man like not to take his brother`s wife, then his brother`s wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband`s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband`s brother unto me. |
| 8 | Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her; | Et les anciens de sa ville l'appelleront, et lui parleront; et s'il demeure ferme, et qu'il dise: Il ne me plaît pas de l'épouser, | Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand, and say, I like not to take her; |
| 9 | Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house. | Alors sa belle-soeur s'approchera de lui, à la vue des anciens, et lui ôtera son soulier du pied, et lui crachera au visage; et, prenant la parole, elle dira: Ainsi soit fait à l'homme qui ne réédifie pas la maison de son frère. | then shall his brother`s wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that doth not build up his brother`s house. |

| 11 | When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: | Quand des hommes se disputeront ensemble, l'un contre l'autre, si la femme de l'un s'approche pour délivrer son mari de la main de celui qui le bat, et qu'avançant sa main, elle le saisisse par ses parties honteuses, | When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets; |
| 12 | Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her. | Tu lui couperas la main; ton oeil sera sans pitié. | then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall have no pity. |
| 13 | Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small. | Tu n'auras point dans ton sac deux sortes de pierres à peser, une grande et une petite. | Thou shalt not have in thy bag diverse weights, a great and a small. |
| 14 | Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small. | Tu n'auras point dans ta maison deux sortes d'épha, un grand et un petit; | Thou shalt not have in thy house diverse measures, a great and a small. |

| 17 | Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt; | Souviens-toi de ce que te fit Amalek, en chemin, quand vous sortiez d'Égypte; | Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt; |
| 18 | How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God. | Comment il vint te rencontrer dans le chemin, et te chargea en queue, attaquant tous les faibles qui te suivaient, lorsque tu étais toi-même las et fatigué, et comment il n'eut point de crainte de Dieu. | how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God. |
| 19 | Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it. | Quand donc l'Éternel ton Dieu t'aura donné du repos de tous tes ennemis à l'entour, au pays que l'Éternel ton Dieu te donne en héritage pour le posséder, tu effaceras la mémoire d'Amalek de dessous les cieux. Ne l'oublie point. | Therefore it shall be, when Jehovah thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget. |
