This project examines the translation of the biblical book of Deuteronomy into Greek, an undertaking set in 3rd century BCE Alexandria. Characterizing the various translations that make up the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible (the Septuagint) is an important prerequisite to their study for information concerning the translators and their milieu, as well as their prospective function. In the context of Deuteronomy, I argue that an adaptation of Toury's Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS) framework is well suited to this task. In contrast with previous studies on this book, this study takes into account a greater range of features and provides a description of the work both as a translation and as a text. I then examine three sections of Deuteronomy to provide a more comprehensive characterization, the basis of which enables one to draw certain conclusions concerning its character and the type of inferences that can (or cannot) be drawn concerning its translator and his milieu. In light of the analysis of translation technique and the extant textual witnesses, I also argue that most of the quantitative differences observed should not be attributed to the translator but to his source text. It also becomes apparent that some passages were read and interpreted in specific ways by the translator, underscoring themes such as the divine origin of the law, dependence on divine mercy, and YHWH's care for his people. However, the character of the translation suggests that such interpretative renderings are localized and limited to the area of lexical choice. In the end, the translation of Deuteronomy is described as generally conventional Greek at the lowest level of analysis (grammar and vocabulary). Interference is pervasive at the higher levels (text-linguistic and literary features), producing a style that at times borders on the colloquial. This style was intentional, highlighting the text's status as a translation.

520 $a Ce projet examine la traduction grecque du livre du Deuteronome de la Bible hebraique, une initiative entreprise a Alexandrie au IIIe siecle avant Jesus-Christ. La caracterisation des differentes traductions qui composent la traduction grecque de la Bible hebraique (la Septante) est une etape indispensable pour ceux qui voudraient en extraire des informations concernant le traducteur, son milieu et sa fonction envisagee. Dans le contexte du Deuteronome, je soutiens qu'une adaptation de la traductologie descriptive (DTS) proposee par Toury est bien adaptee a cette tache. Elle permet de prendre en compte un plus grand nombre de caracteristiques et de decrire l'ouvrage a la fois en tant que traduction et en tant que texte. J'examine ensuite trois sections du Deuteronome afin de proceder a une caracterisation plus riche, permettant de tirer certains constats concernant le caractere de la traduction et le type de conclusions qui peuvent (ou non) etre tirees concernant son traducteur et son milieu. A la lumiere de l'analyse de la technique de traduction et des temoins textuels, je soutiens egalement que la plupart des differences quantitatives ne devraient pas etre attribuees au traducteur, mais a son texte source. Il apparait egalement que certains passages ont ete lus et interpretes differemment par le traducteur, soulignant des themes tels que l'origine divine de la loi, la necessite de la misericorde divine et la sollicitude divine pour son peuple. Cependant, les caracteristiques de la traduction suggerent que ces interpretations sont plutot localisees et s'operent au niveau des choix lexicaux. Enfin, la traduction du Deuteronome est decrite comme representant un grec generalement conventionnel au niveau de la grammaire et du lexique. Cependant, l'interference de la langue source est omnipresente au niveau discursif et litteraire, aboutissant a un style qui se rapproche parfois du langage familier. Ce style est intentionnel, soulignant le caractere du texte en tant que traduction.
