KJV 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.

S21 ²⁰ C'est ce que fit l'Eternel. Une grande quantité de mouches venimeuses vint dans la maison du pharaon et de ses serviteurs, et toute l'Egypte fut dévastée par les mouches.

KJV 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.

S21 ²¹ Le pharaon appela Moïse et Aaron et dit: «Allez-y, offrez des sacrifices à votre Dieu dans le pays.»

KJV 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.

S21 ²² Moïse répondit: «Il n'est pas convenable d'agir ainsi. En effet, nous offririons à l'Eternel, notre Dieu, des sacrifices qui font horreur aux Egyptiens. Et si nous offrons sous les yeux des Egyptiens des sacrifices qui leur font horreur, ne nous lanceront-ils pas des pierres?

KJV ²³ And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.

S21 ²³ Nous ferons trois journées de marche dans le désert et alors nous offrirons des sacrifices à l'Eternel, notre Dieu, conformément à ce qu'il nous dira.»

KJV 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.

S21 ²⁴ Le pharaon dit: «Je vous laisserai partir pour offrir des sacrifices à l'Eternel, votre Dieu, dans le désert. Seulement, vous ne vous éloignerez pas en y allant. Priez pour moi!»

KJV ²⁵ And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.

S21 ²⁵ Moïse répondit: «Dès que je serai sorti de chez toi, je prierai l'Eternel. Demain, les mouches s'éloigneront du pharaon, de ses serviteurs et de son peuple. Mais que le pharaon ne nous trompe plus en refusant de laisser le peuple partir pour offrir des sacrifices à l'Eternel!»

KJV 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?

S21 ²⁶ Moïse sortit de chez le pharaon et pria l'Eternel.

KJV ²⁷ We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.

S21 ²⁷ L'Eternel fit ce que demandait Moïse et les mouches s'éloignèrent du pharaon, de ses serviteurs et de son peuple. Il n'en resta pas une.

KJV 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.

S21 ²⁸ Cependant, cette fois encore, le pharaon rendit son cœur insensible et ne laissa pas partir le peuple.

KJV 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.

KJV ³⁰ And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.

KJV 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.

KJV ³² And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
