| 41 | Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill. | Vous répondîtes en me disant : «Nous avons péché contre Yahweh; nous monterons et nous combattrons, selon tout ce que Yahweh, notre Dieu, nous a ordonné.» Et vous ceignîtes chacun vos armes, et vous vous disposâtes inconsidérément à monter à la montagne. | Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our God commanded us.

| 45 | And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you. | Vous revîntes et vous pleurâtes devant Yahweh; mais Yahweh n'écouta pas votre voix, et ne vous prêta pas l'oreille. | And ye returned and wept before Jehovah; but Jehovah hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you. |
| 46 | So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there. | Vous restâtes de longs jours à Cadès, le temps que vous y avez séjourné. | So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode [there]. |
