| 5 | For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: | Car il a établi le témoignage en Jacob, et il a mis la Loi en Israël; et il donna charge à nos pères de les faire entendre à leurs enfants. | For he established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children; |
| 6 | That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: | Afin que la génération à venir, les enfants, dis-je, qui naîtraient, les connut, et qu'ils se missent en devoir de les raconter à leurs enfants; | That the generation to come might know [them], even the children that should be born; Who should arise and tell [them] to their children, |
| 7 | That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: | Et afin qu'ils missent leur confiance en Dieu, et qu'ils n'oubliassent point les exploits du Dieu Fort, et qu'ils gardassent ses commandements. | That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments, |

| 20 | Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people? | Voilà, dirent-ils, il a frappé le rocher, et les eaux en sont découlées, et il en est sorti des torrents abondamment, mais pourrait-il aussi nous donner du pain? apprêterait-il bien de la viande à son peuple? | Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also?

| 21 | Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; | C'est pourquoi l'Eternel les ayant ouïs, se mit en grande colère, et le feu s'embrasa contre Jacob, et sa colère s'excita contre Israël. | Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel; |
| 22 | Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: | Parce qu'ils n'avaient point cru en Dieu, et ne s'étaient point confiés en sa délivrance. | Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation. |
| 23 | Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, | Bien qu'il eût donné commandement aux nuées d'en haut, et qu'il eût ouvert les portes des cieux; | Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven; |
| 24 | And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. | Et qu'il eût fait pleuvoir la manne sur eux afin qu'ils en mangeassent, et qu'il leur eût donné le froment des cieux; | And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven. |

| 30 | They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, | Mais ils n'en avaient pas encore perdu l'envie, et leur viande était encore dans leur bouche. | They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths, |
| 31 | The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. | Quand la colère de Dieu s'excita contre eux, et qu'il mit à mort les gras d'entre eux, et abattit les gens d'élite d'Israël. | When the anger of God went up against them, And slew of the fattest of them, And smote down the young men of Israel. |

| 34 | When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. | Quand il les mettait à mort, alors ils le recherchaient, ils se repentaient, et ils cherchaient le Dieu Fort dès le matin. | When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly. |
| 35 | And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. | Et ils se souvenaient que Dieu était leur rocher, et que le Dieu Fort et Souverain était celui qui les délivrait. | And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their redeemer. |
| 36 | Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. | Mais ils faisaient beau semblant de leur bouche, et ils lui mentaient de leur langue; | But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied unto him with their tongue. |
| 37 | For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. | Car leur coeur n'était point droit envers lui, et ils ne furent point fidèles en son alliance. | For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant. |
| 38 | But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. | Toutefois, comme il est pitoyable, il pardonna leur iniquité, tellement qu'il ne les détruisit point, mais il apaisa souvent sa colère, et n'émut point toute sa fureur. | But he, being merciful, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: Yea, many a time turned he his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath. |
| 39 | For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. | Et il se souvint qu'ils n'étaient que chair, qu'un vent qui passe, et qui ne revient point. | And he remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. |
| 40 | How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! | Combien de fois l'ont-ils irrité au désert, et combien de fois l'ont-ils ennuyé dans ce lieu inhabitable? | How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert! |
| 41 | Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. | Car coup sur coup ils tentaient le Dieu Fort; et bornaient le Saint d'Israël. | And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel. |
| 42 | They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. | Ils ne se sont point souvenus de sa main, ni du jour qu'il les avait délivrés de la main de celui qui les affligeait. | They remember not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary; |
