Nb 24:15-25 (Catholique Crampon)

¹⁵ Et Balaam prononça son discours et dit : oracle de Balaam, fils de Béor, oracle de l'homme dont l'oeil est fermé ;
¹⁶ oracle de celui qui entend les paroles de Dieu, qui connaît la science du Très-Haut, qui contemple la vision du Tout puissant, qui tombe, et dont les yeux s'ouvrent.
¹⁷ Je le vois, mais non comme présent ; je le contemple, mais non de près. Un astre sort de Jacob, un sceptre s'élève d'Israël. Il brise les deux flancs de Moab, il extermine tous les fils du tumulte.
¹⁸ Édom est sa possession ; Séïr, son ennemi, est sa possession, et Israël déploie sa vaillance.
¹⁹ De Jacob sort un dominateur, il fait périr dans les villes ce qui reste d'Édom.
²⁰ Balaam vit Amalec, et il prononça son discours et dit : Amalec est la première des nations et sa fin sera la ruine.
²¹ Balaam vit le Cinéen, et il prononça son discours et dit : ta demeure est solide, et ton nid posé sur le roc.
²² Toutefois le Cinéen ira se consumant ; jusqu'à quand ? Assur l'emmènera en captivité.
²³ Balaam prononça son discours et dit : hélas ! Qui subsistera quand Dieu fera cela ? Des navires viennent de Citthim ;
²⁴ ils oppriment Assur, ils oppriment Héber, et lui aussi est voué à la ruine.
²⁵ Balaam s'étant levé, se mit en route et s'en retourna chez lui ; Balac s'en alla aussi de son côté.

Nb 24:15-25 (King James)

¹⁵ And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
¹⁶ He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
¹⁷ I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
¹⁸ And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
¹⁹ Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
²⁰ And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
²¹ And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
²² Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
²³ And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
²⁴ And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
²⁵ And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
