| 3 | Balaam dit à Balak : Tiens-toi près de ton holocauste, et je m'éloignerai ; peut-être que l'Éternel viendra à ma rencontre, et je te dirai ce qu'il me révélera. Et il alla sur un lieu élevé. | 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. | 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.

Viens, sois irrité contre Israël ! | 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. | 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 | Comment maudirais-je celui que Dieu n'a point maudit ? Comment serais-je irrité quand l'Éternel n'est point irrité ? | How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied? | How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? And how shall I defy, whom Jehovah hath not defied? |
| 9 | Je le vois du sommet des rochers, Je le contemple du haut des collines : C'est un peuple qui a sa demeure à part, Et qui ne fait point partie des nations. | 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. | 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. |

Que je meure de la mort des justes, Et que ma fin soit semblable à la leur ! | Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his! | Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel?

| 13 | Balak lui dit : Viens donc avec moi dans un autre lieu, d'où tu le verras ; tu n'en verras qu'une partie, tu n'en verras pas la totalité. Et de là maudis-le-moi. | 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. | 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. |

| 19 | Dieu n'est point un homme pour mentir, Ni fils d'un homme pour se repentir. Ce qu'il a dit, ne le fera-t-il pas ? Ce qu'il a déclaré, ne l'exécutera-t il pas ? | 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? | 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 | Voici, j'ai reçu l'ordre de bénir : Il a béni, je ne le révoquerai point. | Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. | Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: And he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it. |
| 21 | Il n'aperçoit point d'iniquité en Jacob, Il ne voit point d'injustice en Israël ; L'Éternel, son Dieu, est avec lui, Il est son roi, l'objet de son allégresse. | 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. | 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. |
