Deuteronomy 24
1 “Suppose a man marries a woman and later decides that he does not want her because there is something about her that he doesn’t like. And suppose he writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he gives the paper to her [SYN] and sends her away from his house.
Un homme prend une femme et devient son mari, mais il arrive qu'elle n'entre pas en grâce auprès de lui, parce qu'il a découvert en elle quelque chose de repoussant, il écrit pour elle une lettre de divorce, la lui remet en main et la renvoie de sa maison;
2 Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
elle quitte sa maison et part; puis elle devient la femme d'un autre mari;
3 and that man [later also] decides that he does not like her, and he also writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he sends her away from his house. Or, suppose that the second husband dies.
ce dernier mari la prend en haine, et écrit pour elle une lettre de divorce, et la lui remet en main et la renvoie de sa maison; ou bien l'homme qui l'avait épousée en dernier lieu, vient à mourir;
4 If either of those things happens, her first husband must not marry her again. He must consider that she has become unacceptable to Yahweh. Yahweh would consider it to be disgusting [if he married her again]. You must not sin [MTY] by doing that in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
dans ce cas le premier mari qui l'a répudiée, ne pourra la reprendre pour femme après qu'elle se sera souillée, car c'est l'abomination de l'Éternel, et tu ne dois pas entacher de péché le pays que l'Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne en propriété.
5 “When some man has recently become married, he must not [be required to] become a soldier in the army or be required to do any other work [for the government] for one year [after being married]. He should stay happily at home with his wife for that year.
Un nouveau marié ne fera point la campagne avec l'armée; on ne lui imposera aucune charge quelconque; il sera exempté pendant un an pour sa maison, afin qu'il puisse réjouir la femme qu'il a épousée.
6 “Anyone who lends money to someone else [is allowed to require that person to give him something] to guarantee [that he will pay back the money that he borrowed. But] he must not take from him his (millstone/stone for grinding grain). That would be taking [the millstone that his family needs to grind the grain to make the bread] they need to stay alive.
L'on ne se nantira pas du moulin et de la meule; car ce serait se nantir de la vie même.
7 “If someone kidnaps/steals a fellow Israeli to cause that person to become his slave or to sell him [to become someone else’s slave], you must execute the person who did that. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil among you.
Si quelqu'un est surpris volant un homme, l'un de ses frères, l'un des enfants d'Israël, et l'employant comme esclave et le vendant, ce voleur-là mourra. Ote ainsi le mal du milieu de toi.
8 “If you are suffering from (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease), be sure to do everything that the priests, who are from the tribe of Levi, tell you to do. Obey carefully the instructions that I have given to them.
Prends garde à l'affection de la lèpre, afin d'être bien attentif à faire tout ce que vous enjoindront les Prêtres, les Lévites. Ayez soin de vous conformer à ce que je leur ai prescrit.
9 Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left Egypt.
Rappelle-toi ce que l'Éternel, ton Dieu, a fait à Marie, pendant la route lors de votre sortie de l'Egypte.
10 “When you lend something to someone, do not go into his house to take the cloak that he says that he will give you to guarantee [that he will return what he has borrowed].
Lorsque tu feras à ton frère un prêt quelconque, tu n'entreras point dans sa maison, pour t'y saisir d'un gage;
11 Stand outside his house, and the man to whom you are lending something will bring the cloak out to you.
tu resteras dehors, et celui à qui tu fais le prêt, t'apportera le gage dehors.
12 But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
Et si c'est un homme pauvre, tu ne te coucheras pas ayant encore son gage.
13 When the sun sets, take the cloak back to him, in order that he may wear it while he sleeps. If you do that, he will [ask God to] bless you, and Yahweh our God will be pleased with you.
Tu lui rendras le gage au coucher du soleil, afin qu'il ait son manteau pour se coucher, et qu'il te bénisse; et cela te sera compté comme justice devant l'Éternel, ton Dieu.
14 “Do not mistreat any servants whom you have hired who are poor and needy [DOU], whether they are Israelis or foreigners who are living in your town.
Ne frustre pas le mercenaire pauvre et indigent, d'entre tes frères ou les étrangers qui seront dans ton pays, dans tes Portes.
15 Every day, before sunset, you must pay/give them the money that they have earned. They are poor and they need to get their pay. If you do not pay them right away, they will cry out against you to Yahweh, and he will punish [MTY] you for having sinned like that.
Donne-lui son salaire à son jour, et que le soleil ne se couche pas sans qu'il l'ait; car il est pauvre, et c'est le souhait de son âme, de peur qu'il ne réclame contre toi auprès de l'Éternel, et que tu ne te charges d'un péché.
16 “Parents must not be executed for crimes that their children have committed, and children must not be executed for crimes that their parents have committed. People should be executed only for the crimes that they themselves have committed.
Les pères ne seront pas mis à mort pour les fils, ni les fils pour les pères: chacun sera mis à mort pour son propre péché.
17 “You must [LIT] do for foreigners [who live] among you and for orphans what the laws state must be done for them. And [if you lend something to] a widow, do not take her coat from her as a guarantee [that she will return it].
Ne fais pas céder le droit de l'étranger, ni de l'orphelin, et ne prends pas en gage la robe de la veuve,
18 Do not forget that [you had great hardships/troubles when] you were slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh our God rescued you from there. That is why I am commanding you [to help others who have troubles].
te souvenant que tu as été esclave en Egypte, et que l'Éternel, ton Dieu, t'en a racheté; c'est pourquoi je t'enjoins d'accomplir ce précepte.
19 “When you harvest your crops, if you have forgotten [that you left] one bundle in the field, do not go back to get it. [Leave it there] for foreigners, orphans, and widows. If you do that, Yahweh will bless you in everything that you do.
Lorsque tu moissonneras tes blés dans ton champ, si tu oublies une gerbe au champ, ne reviens pas la prendre; qu'elle soit pour étranger, l'orphelin et la veuve, afin que l'Éternel, ton Dieu, te bénisse dans tout le travail de tes mains.
20 And when you have harvested/picked all your olives from the trees once, do not go back [to pick the ones that are still] on the trees.
Lorsque tu secoueras tes oliviers, ne fais pas après toi fouiller dans les rameaux; que ce soit pour l'étranger, l'orphelin et la veuve.
21 [Similarly], when you pick the grapes in your vineyard, do not go back a second time [to try to find more]. Leave them for the foreigners, orphans, and widows [among you].
Lorsque tu vendangeras ta vigne, tu ne grappilleras pas derrière toi; que ce soit pour l'étranger, l'orphelin et la veuve:
22 Do not forget that [Yahweh was kind to you when] you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I am commanding you [to be kind to those who are needy].”
souviens-toi que tu as été esclave dans le pays d'Egypte; c'est pourquoi je t'enjoins d'accomplir ce précepte.
