Exodus 4	Exode 4
Exodus 4:1 And Moses, answering, said, It is certain that they will not have faith in me or give ear to my voice; for they will say, You have not seen the Lord.	Exode 4:1 Moïse répondit, et dit: Voici, ils ne me croiront point, et ils n`écouteront point ma voix. Mais ils diront: L`Éternel ne t`est point apparu.
Exodus 4:2 And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.	Exode 4:2 L`Éternel lui dit: Qu`y a-t-il dans ta main? Il répondit: Une verge.
Exodus 4:3 And he said, Put it down on the earth. And he put it down on the earth and it became a snake; and Moses went running from it.	Exode 4:3 L`Éternel dit: Jette-la par terre. Il la jeta par terre, et elle devint un serpent. Moïse fuyait devant lui.
Exodus 4:4 And the Lord said to Moses, Put out your hand and take it by the tail: (and he put out his hand and took a grip of it and it became a rod in his hand:)	Exode 4:4 L`Éternel dit à Moïse: Étends ta main, et saisis-le par la queue. Il étendit la main et le saisit et le serpent redevint une verge dans sa main.
Exodus 4:5 So that they may be certain that the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by you.

Exodus 4:6 Then the Lord said to him again, Put your hand inside your clothing. And he put his hand inside his robe: and when he took it out it was like the hand of a leper, as white as snow.

Exodus 4:7 And he said, Put your hand inside your robe again. (And he put his hand into his robe again, and when he took it out he saw that it had become like his other flesh.)

Exodus 4:8 And if they do not have faith in you or give ear to the voice of the first sign, they will have faith in the second sign.	Exode 4:8 S`ils ne te croient pas, dit l`Éternel, et n`écoutent pas la voix du premier signe, ils croiront à la voix du dernier signe.
Exodus 4:9 And if they have no faith even in these two signs and will not give ear to your voice, then you are to take the water of the Nile and put it on the dry land: and the water you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.

Exodus 4:10 And Moses said to the Lord, O Lord, I am not a man of words; I have never been so, and am not now, even after what you have said to your servant: for talking is hard for me, and I am slow of tongue.	Exode 4:10 Moïse dit à l`Éternel: Ah! Seigneur, je ne suis pas un homme qui ait la parole facile, et ce n`est ni d`hier ni d`avant-hier, ni même depuis que tu parles à ton serviteur; car j`ai la bouche et la langue embarrassées.
Exodus 4:11 And the Lord said to him, Who has made man's mouth? who takes away a man's voice or hearing, or makes him seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?	Exode 4:11 L`Éternel lui dit: Qui a fait la bouche de l`homme? et qui rend muet ou sourd, voyant ou aveugle? N`est-ce pas moi, l`Éternel?

Exode 4:14 Alors la colère de l`Éternel s`enflamma contre Moïse, et il dit: N`y a t-il pas ton frère Aaron, le Lévite? Je sais qu`il parlera facilement. Le voici lui-même, qui vient au-devant de toi; et, quand il te verra, il se réjouira dans son coeur.
Exodus 4:15 Let him give ear to your voice, and you will put my words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his, teaching you what you have to do.

Exodus 4:16 And he will do the talking for you to the people: he will be to you as a mouth and you will be to him as God.	Exode 4:16 Il parlera pour toi au peuple; il te servira de bouche, et tu tiendras pour lui la place de Dieu.
