Remember me, LORD, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
5 afin que je voie le bonheur de tes élus, que je me réjouisse de la joie de ton peuple, et que je me glorifie avec ton héritage.

6 Nous avons péché comme nos pères, nous avons commis l’iniquité, nous avons fait le mal.
We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
7 Nos pères en Égypte n’eurent pas d’égard à tes prodiges, ils ne se souvinrent pas de la multitude de tes grâces, ils se sont révoltés à la mer, à la mer Rouge.
Our fathers did not understand your wonders in Egypt. They did not remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8 Il les sauva pourtant à cause de son nom, pour faire éclater sa puissance.
Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
9 Il menaça la mer Rouge, et elle se dessécha; et il les fit marcher à travers l’abîme comme dans un désert.
He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
10 Il les sauva de la main de celui qui les haïssait, il les délivra de la main de l’oppresseur.
He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 Les flots couvrirent leurs adversaires, pas un seul n’échappa.
The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.

Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
13 Mais ils oublièrent bientôt ses œuvres, ils n’attendirent pas qu’il exécutât ses desseins.
They soon forgot his works. They did not wait for his counsel,
14 Ils furent pris de convoitise dans le désert, et ils tentèrent Dieu dans la solitude.
but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
15 Il leur accorda ce qu’ils demandaient, mais il les frappa de consomption.
He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
16 Puis ils furent jaloux de Moïse dans le camp, et d’Aaron, le saint de Yahweh.
They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, the LORD’s saint.
17 La terre s’ouvrit et engloutit Dathan, et elle se referma sur la troupe d’Abiron;
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18 Le feu dévora leur troupe, la flamme consuma les méchants.
A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.

23 Il parlait de les exterminer, si Moïse, son élu, ne se fût tenu sur la brèche devant lui, pour empêcher sa colère de les détruire.
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he would not destroy them.
24 Ils dédaignèrent la terre de délices, ils ne crurent pas à la parole de Yahweh;
Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They did not believe his word,
25 ils murmurèrent dans leurs tentes, et n’obéirent pas à sa voix.
but murmured in their tents, and did not listen to the LORD’s voice.
26 Alors il leva la main contre eux, jurant de les faire périr dans le désert,
Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27 de faire périr leur race parmi les nations, et de les disperser en d’autres contrées.

32 Ils irritèrent Yahweh aux eaux de Mériba, et Moïse eut à souffrir à cause d’eux;
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
34 Ils n’exterminèrent pas les peuples que Yahweh leur avait ordonné de détruire.
They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
35 Ils se mêlèrent aux nations, et ils apprirent leurs œuvres.

They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
37 Ils immolèrent leurs fils et leurs filles aux démons.
