Lévitique, 6

1. Yahweh parla à Moise, en disant : " Donne cet ordre à Aaron et à ses fils, et dis-leur:

1. "This is the ritual for guilt offerings, which are most sacred.

2. Voici la loi de l'holocauste. L'holo­causte brûlera sur le foyer de l'autel toute la nuit jusqu'au matin, et le feu de l'autel y sera tenu allumé.

2. At the place where the holocausts are slaughtered, there also shall the guilt offering be slaughtered. Its blood shall be splashed on the sides of the altar.

3. Chaque matin, le prêtre, ayant revêtu sa tunique de lin et mis des caleçons de lin sur sa chair, enlèvera la cendre laissée par le feu qui aura consumé l'holocauste sur l'autel, et la déposera à côté de l'autel ;

3. All of its fat shall be taken from it and offered up: the fatty tail, the fatty membrane over the inner organs,

4. puis il quittera ses vêtements et en mettra d'autres pour porter la cendre hors du camp, en un lieu pur.

4. as well as the two kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which must be severed above the kidneys.

5. Le feu sur l'autel y sera entretenu sans qu'il s'étei­gne ; le prêtre y allumera du bois chaque matin, arrangera dessus l'holocauste, et y fera fumer la graisse des sacrifices pa­cifiques.

5. All this the priest shall burn on the altar as an oblation to the LORD. This is the guilt offering.

6. Un feu perpétuel doit brûler sur l'autel sans s'éteindre.

6. All the males of the priestly line may partake of it; but it must be eaten in a sacred place, since it is most sacred.

7. Voici la loi de l'oblation : les fils d'Aaron la présenteront devant Yahweh, devant l'autel.

7. "Because the sin offering and the guilt offering are alike, both having the same ritual, the guilt offering likewise belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it.

8. Le prêtre en prélèvera une poignée de fleur de farine avec son huile, et tout l'encens qui est sur l'oblation, et il fera fumer cela sur l'autel, en agréable odeur, comme souvenir à Yahweh.

8. Similarly, the priest who offers a holocaust for someone may keep for himself the hide of the holocaust that he has offered.

9. Ce qui restera de l'oblation, Aaron et ses fils le mangeront; ils le mangeront sans levain, en lieu saint, dans le parvis de la tente de réunion.

9. Also, every cereal offering that is baked in an oven or deep-fried in a pot or fried on a griddle shall belong to the priest who offers it,

10. On ne le cuira pas avec du levain. C'est la part que je leur ai assignée de mes offrandes consu­mées par le feu. C'est une chose très sainte, comme le sacrifice pour le péché et comme le sacrifice de réparation.

10. whereas all cereal offerings that are offered up dry or mixed with oil shall belong to all of Aaron's sons without distinction.

11. Tout mâle des enfants d'Aaron en mangera. C'est une loi perpétuelle pour vos descendants sur les offrandes faites par le feu à Yahweh. Quiconque y touchera sera saint."

11. "This is the ritual for the peace offerings that are presented to the LORD.

12. Yahweh parla à Moise, en disant :

12. When anyone makes a peace offering in thanksgiving, together with his thanksgiving sacrifice he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes made of fine flour mixed with oil and well kneaded.

13. " Voici l'offrande qu'Aaron et ses fils feront à Yahweh le jour où il recevra l'onction : un dixième d'épha de fleur de farine, comme oblation perpétuelle, moi­tié le matin et moitié le soir.

13. His offering shall also include loaves of leavened bread along with the victim of his peace offering for thanksgiving.

14. Elle sera préparée dans la poêle avec de l'huile ; tu l'apporteras quand elle sera frite, et tu l'offriras en morceaux, comme offrande divisée, d'agréable odeur à Yahweh.

14. From each of his offerings he shall present one portion as a contribution to the LORD; this shall belong to the priest who splashes the blood of the peace offering.

15. Le prêtre ayant reçu l'onction, qui lui succé­dera d'entre ses fils, fera aussi cette obla­tion : c'est une loi perpétuelle devant Yahweh; elle montera tout entière en fumée.

15. "The flesh of the thanksgiving sacrifice shall be eaten on the day it is offered; none of it may be kept till the next day.

16. Toute offrande de prêtre sera con­sumée tout entière ; on ne la mangera pas.

16. However, if the sacrifice is a votive or a free-will offering, it should indeed be eaten on the day the sacrifice is offered, but what is left over may be eaten on the next day.

17. Yahweh parla à Moise, en disant :

17. Should any flesh from the sacrifice be left over on the third day, it must be burned up in the fire.

18. " Parle à Aaron et à ses fils, et dis-leur : Voici la loi du sacrifice pour le péché c'est dans le lieu où l'on égorge l'holo­causte que sera égorgée la victime pour le péché devant Yahweh : c'est une chose très sainte.

18. If, therefore, any of the flesh of the peace offering is eaten on the third day, it shall not win favor for him nor shall it be reckoned to his credit; rather, it shall be considered as refuse, and anyone who eats of it shall have his guilt to bear.

19. Le prêtre qui offrira la vic­time pour le péché la mangera; elle sera mangée en lieu saint, dans le parvis de la tente de réunion.

19. Should the flesh touch anything unclean, it may not be eaten, but shall be burned up in the fire. "All who are clean may partake of this flesh.

20. Quiconque en tou­chera la chair sera saint. S'il en rejaillit du sang sur un vêtement, la place où le sang aura rejailli, tu la laveras en lieu saint.

20. If, however, someone while in a state of uncleanness eats any of the flesh of a peace offering belonging to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from his people.

21. Le vase de terre dans lequel elle aura cuit sera brisé; si elle a cuit dans un vase d'airain, il sera nettoyé et rincé dans l'eau.

21. Likewise, if someone touches anything unclean, whether the uncleanness be of human or of animal origin or from some loathsome crawling creature, and then eats of a peace offering belonging to the LORD, that person, too, shall be cut off from his people."

22. Tout mâle parmi les prêtres en mangera : c'est une chose très sainte.

22. The LORD said to Moses,

23. Mais on ne mangera aucune victime pour le péché dont on doit porter le sang dans la tente de réunion pour faire l'ex­piation dans le sanctuaire : elle sera brùlée au feu.

23. "Tell the Israelites: You shall not eat the fat of any ox or sheep or goat.

24.

24. Although the fat of an animal that has died a natural death or has been killed by wild beasts may be put to any other use, you may not eat it.

25.

25. If anyone eats the fat of an animal from which an oblation is made to the LORD, such a one shall be cut off from his people.

26.

26. Wherever you dwell, you shall not partake of any blood, be it of bird or of animal.

27.

27. Every person who partakes of any blood shall be cut off from his people."

28.

28. The LORD said to Moses,

29.

29. "Tell the Israelites: He who presents a peace offering to the LORD shall bring a part of it as his special offering to him,

30.

30. carrying in with his own hands the oblations to the LORD. The fat is to be brought in, together with the breast, which is to be waved as a wave offering before the LORD.

31.

31. The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.

32.

32. Moreover, from your peace offering you shall give to the priest the right leg as a raised offering.

33.

33. The descendant of Aaron who offers up the blood and fat of the peace offering shall have the right leg as his portion,

34.

34. for from the peace offerings of the Israelites I have taken the breast that is waved and the leg that is raised up, and I have given them to Aaron, the priest, and to his sons by a perpetual ordinance as a contribution from the Israelites."

35.

35. This is the priestly share from the oblations of the LORD, allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day he called them to be the priests of the LORD;

36.

36. on the day he anointed them the LORD ordered the Israelites to give them this share by a perpetual ordinance throughout their generations.

37.

37. This is the ritual for holocausts, cereal offerings, sin offerings, guilt offerings, (ordination offerings) and peace offerings,

38.

38. which the LORD enjoined on Moses at Mount Sinai at the time when he commanded the Israelites in the wilderness of Sinai to bring their offerings to the LORD.
