| 3 | And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place. | Puis Balaam dit à Balac: Tiens-toi auprès de ton holocauste, et je m'en irai; peut-être que l'Eternel viendra à ma rencontre, et je te rapporterai tout ce qu'il m'aura fait voir; ainsi il se retira à l'écart. | And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go: peradventure Jehovah will come to meet me; and whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to a bare height. |
| 4 | And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. | Et Dieu vint au-devant de Balaam, et Balaam lui dit: J'ai dressé sept autels, et j'ai sacrifié un veau et un bélier sur chaque autel. | And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar. |

| 7 | And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel. | Alors Balaam proféra son discours sentencieux, et dit: Balac, Roi de Moab, m'a fait venir d'Aram, des montagnes d'Orient, en me disant: Viens, maudis-moi Jacob; viens, dis-je, déteste Israël. | And he took up his parable, and said, From Aram hath Balak brought me, The king of Moab from the mountains of the East: Come, curse me Jacob, And come, defy Israel. |
| 8 | How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied? | Mais comment le maudirai-je? le Dieu Fort ne l'a point maudit; et comment le détesterai-je? l'Eternel ne l'a point détesté. | How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? And how shall I defy, whom Jehovah hath not defied? |
| 9 | For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. | Car je le regarderai du sommet des rochers, et je le contemplerai des coteaux. Voilà, ce peuple habitera à part, et il ne sera point mis entre les nations. | For from the top of the rocks I see him, And from the hills I behold him: lo, it is a people that dwelleth alone, And shall not be reckoned among the nations. |

Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his! | Qui est-ce qui comptera la poudre de Jacob, et le nombre de la quatrième partie d'Israël? Que je meure de la mort des justes, et que ma fin soit semblable à la leur! | Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, And let my last end be like his! |
| 11 | And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. | Alors Balac dit à Balaam: Que m'as-tu fait?

I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. |

| 13 | And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence. | Alors Balac lui dit: Viens, je te prie, avec moi en un autre lieu d'où tu le puisses voir, car tu en voyais seulement une extrémité, et tu ne le voyais pas tout entier; maudis-le moi de là. | And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence. |

| 16 | And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus. | L'Eternel donc vint au-devant de Balaam, et mit la parole en sa bouche, et lui dit: Retourne à Balac, et lui parle ainsi. | And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak. |

| 19 | God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? | Le Dieu Fort n'est point homme pour mentir, ni fils d'homme pour se repentir; il a dit, et ne le fera-t-il point? il a parlé, et ne le ratifiera-t-il point? | God is not a man, that he should lie, Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and will he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and will he not make it good? |
| 20 | Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. | Voici, j'ai reçu la parole pour bénir; puisqu'il a béni, je ne le révoquerai point. | Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: And he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it. |
| 21 | He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. | Il n'a point aperçu d'iniquité en Jacob, ni vu de perversité en Israël; l'Eternel son Dieu est avec lui, et il y a en lui un chant de triomphe royal. | He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob; Neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: Jehovah his God is with him, And the shout of a king is among them. |
