Ex 8:20-32 (Catholique Crampon)

²⁰ Yahweh fit ainsi ; il vint une multitude de scarabées dans la maison de Pharaon et de ses serviteurs, et tout le pays d'Égypte fut ravagé par les scarabées. ²¹ Pharaon appela Moïse et Aaron, et leur dit : "allez, offrez des sacrifices à votre Dieu dans ce pays." ²² Moïse répondit : "Il ne convient pas de faire ainsi, car c'est une abomination pour les Égyptiens que les sacrifices que nous offrons à Yahweh, notre Dieu ; et si nous offrons, sous les yeux des Égyptiens, des sacrifices qui sont pour eux des abominations, ne nous lapideront-ils pas ? ²³ Nous irons à trois journées de marche dans le désert pour offrir des sacrifices à Yahweh, notre Dieu, selon qu'il nous le dira." ²⁴ Pharaon dit : "Pour moi, je vous laisserai aller, pour offrir des sacrifices à Yahweh, votre Dieu, dans le désert ; seulement ne vous éloignez pas trop dans votre marche. Faites des prières pour moi." ²⁵ Moïse répondit : voici, je vais sortir de chez toi, et je prierai Yahweh, et demain les scarabées se retireront de Pharaon, de ses serviteurs et de son peuple. Mais que Pharaon ne trompe plus, en ne permettant pas au peuple d'aller offrir des sacrifices à Yahweh !" ²⁶ Moïse sortit de chez Pharaon et pria Yahweh. ²⁷ Et Yahweh fit selon la parole de Moïse, et les scarabées s'éloignèrent de Pharaon, de ses serviteurs et de son peuple ; il n'en resta pas un seul. ²⁸ Mais Pharaon endurcit son coeur cette fois encore, et il ne laissa pas aller le peuple.

Ex 8:20-32 (King James)

   ²⁰ And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. ²¹ Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are. ²² And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth. ²³ And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be. ²⁴ And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies. ²⁵ And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land. ²⁶ And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us? ²⁷ We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us. ²⁸ And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me. ²⁹ And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD. ³⁰ And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD. ³¹ And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one. ³² And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.

Ex 8:20-32 (Vulgate)

   ²⁰ Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen : Consurge diluculo, et sta coram Pharaone : egredietur enim ad aquas : et dices ad eum : Hæc dicit Dominus : Dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi.
   ²¹ Quod si non dimiseris eum, ecce ego immittam in te, et in servos tuos, et in populum tuum, et in domos tuas, omne genus muscarum : et implebuntur domus Ægyptiorum muscis diversi generis, et universa terra in qua fuerint.
   ²² Faciamque mirabilem in die illa terram Gessen, in qua populus meus est, ut non sint ibi muscæ : et scias quoniam ego Dominus in medio terræ.
   ²³ Ponamque divisionem inter populum meum et populum tuum : cras erit signum istud.
   ²⁴ Fecitque Dominus ita. Et venit musca gravissima in domos Pharaonis et servorum ejus, et in omnem terram Ægypti : corruptaque est terra ab hujuscemodi muscis.
   ²⁵ Vocavitque Pharao Moysen et Aaron, et ait eis : Ite et sacrificate Deo vestro in terra hac.
   ²⁶ Et ait Moyses : Non potest ita fieri : abominationes enim Ægyptiorum immolabimus Domino Deo nostro : quod si mactaverimus ea quæ colunt Ægyptii coram eis, lapidibus nos obruent.
   ²⁷ Viam trium dierum pergemus in solitudinem : et sacrificabimus Domino Deo nostro, sicut præcepit nobis.
   ²⁸ Dixitque Pharao : Ego dimittam vos ut sacrificetis Domino Deo vestro in deserto : verumtamen longius ne abeatis, rogate pro me.
   ²⁹ At ait Moyses : Egressus a te, orabo Dominum : et recedet musca a Pharaone, et a servis suis, et a populo ejus cras : verumtamen noli ultra fallere, ut non dimittas populum sacrificare Domino.
   ³⁰ Egressusque Moyses a Pharaone, oravit Dominum.
   ³¹ Qui fecit juxta verbum illius, et abstulit muscas a Pharaone, et a servis suis, et a populo ejus : non superfuit ne una quidem.
   ³² Et ingravatum est cor Pharaonis, ita ut nec hac quidem vice dimitteret populum.
