Deutéronome 14:24-27

Louis Segond

²⁴Peut-être lorsque l'Éternel, ton Dieu, t'aura béni, le chemin sera-t-il trop long pour que tu puisses transporter ta dîme, à cause de ton éloignement du lieu qu'aura choisi l'Éternel, ton Dieu, pour y faire résider son nom.

²⁵Alors, tu échangeras ta dîme contre de l'argent, tu serreras cet argent dans ta main, et tu iras au lieu que l'Éternel, ton Dieu, aura choisi.

²⁶Là, tu achèteras avec l'argent tout ce que tu désireras, des boeufs, des brebis, du vin et des liqueurs fortes, tout ce qui te fera plaisir, tu mangeras devant l'Éternel, ton Dieu, et tu te réjouiras, toi et ta famille.

²⁷Tu ne délaisseras point le Lévite qui sera dans tes portes, car il n'a ni part ni héritage avec toi.

New International Version

²⁴But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), ²⁵then exchange^(A) your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. ²⁶Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink,^(B) or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice.^(C) ²⁷And do not neglect the Levites^(D) living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.^(E)

King James Version

²⁴And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee:

²⁵Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose:

²⁶And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,

²⁷And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

²⁴But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or ^(A)if the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the Lord your God has blessed you, ²⁵then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses. ²⁶And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall ^(B)rejoice, you and your household. ²⁷You shall not ^[a]forsake the ^(C)Levite who is within your gates, for he has no part nor inheritance with you.
