13 G2532 And G450 Balaam rising G* G4404 in the morning, G2036 said G3588 to the G758 rulers G* of Balak, G665.1 You run G4314 to G3588 G1093 your land, G1473 G3756 [²does not G863 ³allow G1473 ⁴me G2962 ¹ the lord] G4198 to go G3326 with G1473 you.

16 G2532 And G2064 they came G4314 to G* Balaam, G2532 and G3004 they say G1473 to him, G3592 Thus G3004 says G* Balak G3588 the son G3588 G* of Zippor, G515 I deem you worthy, G1473 G3361 you should not G3635 be reluctant G2064 to come G4314 to G1473 me,

18 G2532 And G611 Balaam answered G* G2532 and G2036 said G3588 to the G758 rulers G* of Balak, G1437 If G1325 [²shall give G1473 ³to me G* ¹Balak G4134 ⁶full G3588 G3624 ⁵house G1473 ⁴his] G694 of silver G2532 and G5553 gold, G3756 I shall not G1410 be able G3845 to violate G3588 the G4487 word G2962 of the lord G3588 G2316 God, G4160 to do G1473 it G3397 small G2228 or G3173 great.

20 G2532 And G2064 God came G3588 G2316 G4314 to G* Balaam G3571 at night, G2532 and G2036 said G1473 to him, G1487 If G2564 [²calling G1473 ³you G3918 ⁴are at hand G3588 G444 ¹these men], G3778 G450 rising up G190 you follow G1473 them, G235 but G3588 the G4487 saying G3739 which G302 ever G2980 I speak G4314 to G1473 you, G3778 this G4160 you observe!

21 G2532 And G450 Balaam rising G* G4404 in the morning, G1977.2 saddled G3588 G3688 his donkey, G1473 G2532 and G4198 went G3326 with G3588 the G758 rulers G* of Moab.

6 H3212 [H8798] Come H779 [H8798] now therefore, I pray thee, curse H5971 for me this people; H6099 for they are too mighty H3201 [H8799] for me: perhaps I shall prevail, H5221 [H8686] that we may smite H1644 [H8762] them, and that I may drive them out H776 of the land: H3045 [H8804] for I know H1288 [H8762] that he whom thou blessest H1288 [H8794] is blessed, H779 [H8799] and he whom thou cursest H779 [H8714] is cursed.

7 H2205 And the elders H4124 of Moab H2205 and the elders H4080 of Midian H3212 [H8799] departed H7081 with the rewards of divination H3027 in their hand; H935 [H8799] and they came H1109 to Balaam, H1696 [H8762] and spoke H1697 to him the words H1111 of Balak.

9 H430 And God H935 [H8799] came H1109 to Balaam, H559 [H8799] and said, H582 What men are these with thee?

10 H1109 And Balaam H559 [H8799] said H430 to God, H1111 Balak H1121 the son H6834 of Zippor, H4428 king H4124 of Moab, H7971 [H8804] hath sent to me, saying,

11 H5971 Behold, there hast a people H3318 [H8802] come out H4714 of Egypt, H3680 [H8762] which covereth H5869 the eye H776 of the earth: H3212 [H8798] come H6895 [H8798] now, scoop them out H3201 [H8799] for me; perhaps I shall be able H3898 [H8736] to overcome H1644 [H8765] them, and drive them out.

12 H430 And God H559 [H8799] said H1109 to Balaam, H3212 [H8799] Thou shalt not go H779 [H8799] with them; thou shalt not curse H5971 the people: H1288 [H8803] for they are blessed.

13 H1109 And Balaam H6965 [H8799] rose up H1242 in the morning, H559 [H8799] and said H8269 to the princes H1111 of Balak, H3212 [H8798] Go back H776 to your land: H3068 for the LORD H3985 [H8765] refuseth H5414 [H8800] to give me leave H1980 [H8800] to go with you.

14 H8269 And the princes H4124 of Moab H6965 [H8799] rose up, H935 [H8799] and they went H1111 to Balak, H559 [H8799] and said, H1109 Balaam H3985 [H8765] refuseth H1980 [H8800] to come with us.

15 H1111 And Balak H7971 [H8800] sent H3254 [H8686] yet again H8269 princes, H7227 more, H3513 [H8737] and more honourable than they.

16 H935 [H8799] And they came H1109 to Balaam, H559 [H8799] and said H559 [H8804] to him, Thus saith H1111 Balak H1121 the son H6834 of Zippor, H4513 [H8735] Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder H1980 [H8800] thee from coming to me:

17 H3513 0 For I will promote H3966 thee to very H3513 [H8763] great H3513 [H8762] honour, H6213 [H8799] and I will do H559 [H8799] whatever thou sayest H3212 [H8798] to me: come H6895 [H8798] therefore, I pray thee, scoop out H5971 this people for me.

18 H1109 And Balaam H6030 [H8799] answered H559 [H8799] and said H5650 to the servants H1111 of Balak, H1111 If Balak H5414 [H8799] would give H1004 me his house H4393 full H3701 of silver H2091 and gold, H3201 [H8799] I could not H5674 [H8800] go beyond H6310 the mouth H3068 of the LORD H430 my God, H6213 [H8800] to do H6996 less H1419 or more.

19 H3427 [H8798] Now therefore, I pray you, tarry H3915 ye also here this night, H3045 [H8799] that I may know H3068 what the LORD H1696 [H8763] will say H3254 [H8686] to me more.

20 H430 And God H935 [H8799] came H1109 to Balaam H3915 at night, H559 [H8799] and said H582 to him, If the men H935 [H8804] come H7121 [H8800] to call H6965 [H8798] thee, rise, H3212 [H8798] and go H389 with them; but yet H1697 the word H1696 [H8762] which I shall say H6213 [H8799] to thee, that shalt thou perform.

21 H1109 And Balaam H6965 [H8799] rose H1242 in the morning, H2280 [H8799] and saddled H860 his donkey, H3212 [H8799] and went H8269 with the princes H4124 of Moab.

So the chiefs of Moab tarried with Balaam. ⁹ And God came to Balaam, and said to him, What would these men with thee? ¹⁰ And Balaam said to God, Balak son of Sepphor, king of Moab, hath sent them to me, saying, ¹¹ Behold there is a people come out of Egypt, who have covered the face of this land, and they are settled down near me; now therefore come and curse them for me; perhaps I may be able to smite them, and drive them out of this land. ¹² Thereupon God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them, nor curse that people, for they are blessed. ¹³ So when Balaam arose in the morning, he said to the chiefs of Balak, Return speedily to your Lord, for God doth not permit me to go with you. ¹⁴ And the chiefs of Moab arose, and went to Balak, and said to him, Balaam refuseth to come with us. ¹⁵ Then Balak sent again other princes, more in number, and of greater dignity than them, ¹⁶ and they went to Balaam and said to him, Thus saith Balak, the son of Sepphor, I entreat thee delay not to come to me, ¹⁷ for I will promote thee to great honour, and do for thee whatever thou sayest; therefore come, curse this people for me. ¹⁸ In reply to which Balaam said to the princes of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot transgress the word of the Lord God, to do any thing, small or great, of my own mere will. ¹⁹ Now therefore tarry you also here this night, that I may know what the Lord will further say to me. ²⁰ And God came to Balaam by night, and said to him, If these men come to call thee, arise and go with them: but what I say to thee, that thou shalt do. ²¹ Whereupon Balaam arose in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Come now therefore, I pray thee, Curse for me this people; for they are too mighty for me: it may be I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. ⁷ And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak. ⁸ And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. ⁹ And God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee? ¹⁰ And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent to me, saying, ¹¹ Behold, there has a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse them for me: it may be I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. ¹² And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed. ¹³ And Balaam rose in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Depart into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you. ¹⁴ And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us. ¹⁵ And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they. ¹⁶ And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming to me: ¹⁷ For I will promote thee to very great honor, and I will do whatever thou sayest to me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse this people for me. ¹⁸ And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. ¹⁹ Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say to me more. ²⁰ And God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men come to call thee, rise and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say to thee, that shalt thou perform. ²¹ And Balaam rose in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And now come, curse me this people, for it is stronger than we; if we may be able to smite some of them, and I will cast them out of the land: for I know that whomsoever thou dost bless, they are blessed, and whomsoever thou dost curse, they are cursed. ⁷ And the elders of Moab went, and the elders of Madiam, and their divining instruments were in their hands; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balac. ⁸ And he said to them, Tarry here the night, and I will answer you the things which the Lord shall say to me; and the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam. ⁹ And God came to Balaam, and said to him, Who are these men with thee? ¹⁰ And Balaam said to God, Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab, sent them to me, saying, ¹¹ Behold, a people has come forth out of Egypt, and has covered the face of the land, and it has encamped near to me; and now come, curse it for me, if indeed I shall be able to smite it, and cast it out of the land. ¹² And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them, neither shalt thou curse the people; for they are blessed. ¹³ And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balac, Depart quickly to your lord; God does not permit me to go with you. ¹⁴ And the princes of Moab rose, and came to Balac, and said, Balaam will not come with us. ¹⁵ And Balac yet again sent more princes and more honourable than they. ¹⁶ And they came to Balaam, and they say to him, Thus says Balac the son of Sepphor: I beseech thee, delay not to come to me. ¹⁷ For I will greatly honour thee, and will do for thee whatsoever thou shalt say; come then, curse me this people. ¹⁸ And Balaam answered and said to the princes of Balac, If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord God, to make it little or great in my mind. ¹⁹ And now do ye also tarry here this night, and I shall know what the Lord will yet say to me. ²⁰ And God came to Balaam by night, and said to him, If these men are come to call thee, rise and follow them; nevertheless the word which I shall speak to thee, it shalt thou do. ²¹ And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Now, therefore, do come, I pray thee, curse me this people, For, stronger, he is, than I, If peradventure I prevail, we shall smite him, That I may drive him out of the land,––For I know that, he whom thou dost bless, is to be blessed, And, he whom thou dost curse, is to be cursed. ⁷ And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian, went their way, with the rewards of divination in their hand,––so they came in unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak. ⁸ And he said unto them––Tarry ye here for the night, and I will bring you back word, as Yahweh shall speak unto me. So the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. ⁹ And God came in unto Balaam,––and said, Who are these men, with thee? ¹⁰ Then said Balaam unto God,––Balak, son of Zipper, king of Moab, hath sent unto me: ¹¹ Lo! the people that hath come forth out of Egypt––he covereth the eye of the land. Now, do come, do revile me him, Peradventure I shall prevail in making war with him, And shall drive him out. ¹² And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them,––Thou shalt not curse the people, For, blessed, he is. ¹³ And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your own land,––For Yahweh hath refused, to let me go with you. ¹⁴ So the princes of Moab arose, and came in unto Balak,––and said, Balaam refused, to come with us.
¹⁵ Then added Balak again,––to send princes, more and weightier than these. ¹⁶ And they came in unto Balaam,––and said unto him––Thus, said Balak son of Zipper, Do not be withheld, I pray thee, from coming unto me: ¹⁷ For I will, honour, thee, exceedingly, and, all that thou shalt say unto me, will I do. Do come therefore, I pray thee, oh revile me this people. ¹⁸ And Balaam responded, and said unto the servants of Balak, Though Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the bidding of Yahweh my God, to do less or more. ¹⁹ Now, therefore, abide here, I pray you, even, ye,––for the night,––that I may get to know what further Yahweh may be speaking with me. ²⁰ And God came in unto Balaam, by night, and said unto him––If, to call thee, the men have come in, arise, go with them,––But only, the thing that I shall speak unto thee, that, shalt thou do. ²¹ So Balaam arose, in the morning, and saddled his ass,––and went with the princes of Moab.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Now come, I pray, curse this people for me, for they are more substantial than I.

They came to Balaam and spoke to him the words of Balak. ⁸ He said to them:Lodge here for the night, and I will bring back word to you just as Yahweh shall speak to me. So the chiefs of Moab dwelt with Balaam. ⁹ Now Elohim came to Balaam and said:Who are these men with you? ¹⁰ And Balaam said to the One, Elohim:Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent them to me, saying. ¹¹ Behold, the people coming forth from Egypt are covering the eye of the land! Now go, revile him for me. Perhaps I shall be able to fight him, and I will drive him out. ¹² Then Elohim said to Balaam:You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for it is blessed. ¹³ Balaam rose in the morning and said to the chiefs of Balak:Go back to your land, for Yahweh has refused to allow me to go with you. ¹⁴ So the chiefs of Moab rose and came to Balak and said:Balaam refused to go with us. ¹⁵ Balak continued further to send other chiefs, more numerous and illustrious than these. ¹⁶ They came to Balaam and said to him:Thus says Balak son of Zippor, Do not, I pray, be withheld from coming to me, ¹⁷ for I shall glorify, yea glorify you exceedingly, and all that you may say to me I shall do. So come now I pray, revile this people for me. ¹⁸ Yet Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak:If Balak were giving to me the fullness of his house in silver and gold I could not cross the bidding of Yahweh my Elohim to do what is small or great. ¹⁹ Yet now dwell, I pray, you too, in this place, for the night; then I shall know what Yahweh shall continue to speak with me. ²⁰ Elohim came to Balaam at night and said to him:Since the men have come to call for you, rise, go with them. Yet only the word that I speak to you, only it shall you use. ²¹ Balaam rose in the morning and saddled his jenny and went with the chiefs of Moab.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Come now, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people, for they are greater than I: and then I may be strong enough to overcome them and send them out of the land: for it is clear that good comes to him who has your blessing, but he on whom you put your curse is cursed. ⁷ So the responsible men of Moab and Midian went away, taking in their hands rewards for the prophet; and they came to Balaam and said to him what Balak had given them orders to say. ⁸ And he said to them, Take your rest here tonight, and I will give you an answer after hearing what the Lord says; so the chiefs of Moab kept there with Balaam that night. ⁹ And God came to Balaam and said, Who are these men with you? ¹⁰ And Balaam said to God, Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent them to me, saying, ¹¹ See, the people who have come out of Egypt are covering all the earth: now, put a curse on this people for me, so that I may be able to make war on them, driving them out of the land. ¹² And God said to Balaam, You are not to go with them, or put a curse on this people, for they have my blessing. ¹³ In the morning Balaam got up and said to the chiefs of Balak, Go back to your land, for the Lord will not let me go with you. ¹⁴ So the chiefs of Moab went back to Balak and said, Balaam will not come with us. ¹⁵ So Balak sent more chiefs, greater in number and of higher position than the others. ¹⁶ And they came to Balaam and said, Balak, son of Zippor, says, Let nothing keep you from coming to me: ¹⁷ For I will give you a place of very great honour, and whatever you say to me I will do; so come, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people. ¹⁸ But Balaam, in answer; said to the servants of Balak, Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to do anything more or less than the orders of the Lord my God. ¹⁹ So take your rest here this night, till I have knowledge what more the Lord has to say to me. ²⁰ And that night God came to Balaam and said to him, If these men have come for you, go with them: but do only what I say to you. ²¹ So in the morning Balaam got up and, making his ass ready, went with the chiefs of Moab.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Therefore, I pray you, come now and curse this people for me. For they are too mighty for me.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And now please come, curse this people for me, for they are too mighty for me.

AKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Come now therefore, I pray you, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed. ⁷ And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak. ⁸ And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me: and the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam. ⁹ And God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with you? ¹⁰ And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying, ¹¹ Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covers the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. ¹² And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people: for they are blessed. ¹³ And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuses to give me leave to go with you. ¹⁴ And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuses to come with us. ¹⁵ And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they. ¹⁶ And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus said Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray you, hinder you from coming to me: ¹⁷ For I will promote you to very great honor, and I will do whatever you say to me: come therefore, I pray you, curse me this people. ¹⁸ And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. ¹⁹ Now therefore, I pray you, tarry you also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say to me more. ²⁰ And God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men come to call you, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say to you, that shall you do. ²¹ And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

Now come and curse them for me. Maybe I will be able to fight them and force them out.« ¹² God said to Balaam: »Do not go with them! Do not curse these people. They are blessed!« ¹³ When Balaam got up in the morning, he said to Balak’s princes: »Go back to your own country. Jehovah has refused to let me go with you.« ¹⁴ The Moabite princes went back to Balak and said: »Balaam refused to come with us.« ¹⁵ Balak sent a larger group of more highly respected princes. ¹⁶ When they came to Balaam they said to him: »This is what Balak son of Zippor says: ‘Do not let anything keep you from coming to me. ¹⁷ »‘I will make sure you are richly rewarded. I will do whatever you ask. Please, come and curse (execrate) these people for me.’« ¹⁸ Balaam answered Balak’s servants: »Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I could not disobey the command of Jehovah my God no matter whether the request was important or not. ¹⁹ »Now, please stay here tonight, as the others did, and I will find out what else Jehovah may have to tell me.« ²⁰ That night God came to Balaam and said: »If these men have come to summon you, go with them, but do only what I tell you.« ²¹ Balaam got up in the morning and saddled his donkey and left with the Moabite princes.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ So come right now and curse this people for me, because there are too many of them for me to handle. Perhaps I’ll be able to strike them down and drive them out of the land, since I know that whomever you bless is blessed and whomever you curse is cursed.”
⁷ So the elders of Moab and Midian left to visit Balaam, bringing an honorarium with them, and communicated Balak’s concerns to him. ⁸ In answer, Balaam told them, “Stay here for the night and I’ll bring back a message to you, depending on what the LORD says to me.” So the officers of Moab stayed with Balaam overnight.
⁹ God Forbids Balaam to CooperateGod visited Balaam and asked him, “Who are these men with you?”
¹⁰ Then Balaam told God, “Zippor’s son Balak, king of Moab, sent them to me and said, ¹¹ ‘Look! A group of people have escaped from Egypt. They cover the surface of the whole earth! So come right now and curse them for me. Perhaps I’ll be able to fight against them and drive them out.’”
¹² But God told Balaam, “Don’t go with them. Don’t curse the people, because they’re blessed.”
¹³ So Balaam got up the next morning and told Balak’s officials, “Go back to your homeland, because the LORD has refused me permission to go with you.”
¹⁴ So Balak’s officials got up, returned to Balak and reported, “Balaam refused to come with us.”
¹⁵ In response, Balak sent more officers—higher ranking ones, at that!— ¹⁶ who approached Balaam with this message: “This is what Zippor’s son Balak says: ‘Don’t let anything get in the way of your coming to me. ¹⁷ I’m determined to reward you generously, and I’ll do everything you tell me to do. So come right away and curse this people for me.’”
¹⁸ Balaam responded to Balak’s entourage by saying, “Even if Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I won’t double-cross the command of the LORD my God in even the slightest way. ¹⁹ Meanwhile, stay here overnight so I may learn what the LORD might say to me.”
²⁰ God came to visit Balaam that same night and told him, “If the men come to call on you, get up and go with them, but be sure to do only what I tell you to do.” ²¹ The next morning, Balaam got up, saddled his donkey, and started to leave, accompanied by the Moabite officials.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Now, please go, curse this people for me because they* are stronger than me; perhaps I will be able to strike them* and drive them* out from the land because I know whoever you bless is blessed, and whoever you cursed is cursed." ⁷ So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian went with a fee for divination in their hand; they came to Balaam and spoke the words of Balak to him. ⁸ He said to them, "Spend the night here, and I will return, and I will return word to you, just as Yahweh speaks to me." So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam. ⁹ And God came to Balaam and said, "Who are these men with you?" ¹⁰ And Balaam said to God, "Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent word to me, ¹¹ 'Look! A people went out from Egypt. Look! They cover _⌊the surface of the land_⌋.* Now, go, curse them* for me. Perhaps I will be able to attack them* and drive them* out." ¹² God said to Balaam, "You will not go with them; you will not curse the people, because they* are blessed." ¹³ Balaam got up in the morning, and he said to the princes of Balak, "Go to your land, because Yahweh refused to allow me to go with you." ¹⁴ The princes of Moab got up and went to Balak, and they said, "Balaam refused to come with us." ¹⁵ Balak again sent many princes, who were more honored _⌊than the former_⌋.* ¹⁶ They came to Balaam and said to him, "Thus says Balak son of Zippor, 'Please, let nothing keep you from coming to me ¹⁷ because I will surely honor you greatly, and all that you say to me I will do. Please, come; curse this people for me.'" ¹⁸ Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, "Even though Balak gives to me his house full of silver and gold, I am not able to go beyond _⌊the command of Yahweh_⌋* my God to do a little or a lot. ¹⁹ And now please, _⌊you also stay here_⌋* the night, and _⌊let me find out_⌋* again what Yahweh will say with me." ²⁰ And God came to Balaam at night, and he said to him, "If the men have come to call you, get up and go with them; but only the word that I will speak to you, you will do." ²¹ So Balaam got up in the morning and saddled his donkey, and he went with the princes of Moab.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ So please come now and put a curse on this people, because they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land; for I know that those you bless are blessed, and those you curse are cursed.” ⁷ The elders of Moab and Midian departed with the fees for divination in hand. They came to Balaam and relayed to him the words of Balak. ⁸ “Spend the night here,” Balaam replied, “and I will give you the answer that the LORD speaks to me.” So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam. ⁹ Then God came to Balaam and asked, “Who are these men with you?” ¹⁰ And Balaam said to God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent me this message: ¹¹ ‘Behold, a people has come out of Egypt, and they cover the face of the land. Now come and put a curse on them for me. Perhaps I may be able to fight against them and drive them away.’” ¹² But God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them. You are not to curse this people, for they are blessed.” ¹³ So Balaam got up the next morning and said to Balak’s princes, “Go back to your homeland, because the LORD has refused to let me go with you.” ¹⁴ And the princes of Moab arose, returned to Balak, and said, “Balaam refused to come with us.” ¹⁵ Then Balak sent other princes, more numerous and more distinguished than the first messengers. ¹⁶ They came to Balaam and said, “This is what Balak son of Zippor says: ‘Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me, ¹⁷ for I will honor you richly and do whatever you say. So please come and put a curse on this people for me!’” ¹⁸ But Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, “If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything small or great to go beyond the command of the LORD my God. ¹⁹ So now, please stay here overnight as the others did, that I may find out what else the LORD has to tell me.” ²⁰ That night God came to Balaam and said, “Since these men have come to summon you, get up and go with them, but you must only do what I tell you.” ²¹ So in the morning Balaam got up, saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Therefore, I beseech you, come now, curse this people for me, for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I will prevail, that we may kill* them and that I may drive them out of the land. For I know that he whom you bless is blessed and he whom you curse is cursed.
⁷ And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand and they came to Balaam and spoke to him the words of Balak. ⁸ And he said to them, Lodge here this night and I will bring you* word again, as Jehovah will speak to me. And the rulers of Moab abode with Balaam.
⁹ And God came to Balaam and said, What men are these with you? ¹⁰ And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, King of Moab, has sent to me, saying, ¹¹ Behold, the people came out of Egypt, it covers the face of the earth. Now, come curse them for me. Perhaps I will be able to fight against them and will drive them out. ¹² And God said to Balaam, You will not go with them. You will not curse the people, for they are blessed.
¹³ And Balaam rose up in the morning and said to the rulers of Balak, Get into your* land, for Jehovah refuses to give me leave to go with you*. ¹⁴ And the rulers of Moab rose up and they went to Balak and said, Balaam refuses to come with us.
¹⁵ And Balak sent yet again rulers, more and more honorable than they. ¹⁶ And they came to Balaam and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, I beseech you, let nothing hinder you from coming to me. ¹⁷ For I will promote you to very great honor and whatever you say to me I will do. Therefore, I beseech you, come curse this people for me.
¹⁸ And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Jehovah my God, to do less or more. ¹⁹ Now therefore, I beseech you*, abide also here this night, that I may know what Jehovah will speak to me more.
²⁰ And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, If the men come to call you, rise up, go with them, but only the word which I speak to you, that will you do. ²¹ And Balaam rose up in the morning and saddled his donkey and went with the rulers of Moab.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Now, please go, curse this people for me because they are stronger than me; perhaps I will be able to strike them and drive them out from the land because I know whoever you bless is blessed, and whoever you cursed is cursed." ⁷ The elders of Moab and Midian left.

11 H5971 Siehe, das Volk H3318 , das aus H4714 Ägypten H1644 gezogen ist H3680 , es bedeckt H776 die Fläche des Landes H3212 ; komm H3201 nun, verwünsche es mir, vielleicht vermag H3898 ich wider dasselbe zu streiten und es zu vertreiben.

12 H430 Und Gott H559 sprach H1109 zu Bileam H3212 : Du sollst nicht mit ihnen gehen H5971 ; du sollst das Volk H779 nicht verfluchen H1288 , denn es ist gesegnet .

13 H1109 Und Bileam H1242 stand des Morgens H6965 auf H559 und sprach H8269 zu den Fürsten H1111 Balaks H776 : Ziehet in euer Land H3068 ; denn Jehova H3985 hat sich H5414 geweigert, mir zu gestatten H1980 , mit euch H3212 zu gehen .

16 H935 Und sie kamen H1109 zu Bileam H559 und sprachen H559 zu ihm: So spricht H1111 Balak H1121 , der Sohn H6834 Zippors H4513 : Laß dich H1980 doch nicht abhalten, zu mir zu kommen;

17 H3966 denn sehr H3513 hoch will ich dich ehren H559 , und alles, was du mir sagen H6213 wirst, will ich tun H3212 ; so komm H5971 doch, verwünsche mir dieses Volk!

18 H1109 Und Bileam H6030 antwortete H559 und sprach H6213 zu H5650 den Knechten H1111 Balaks H1111 : Wenn Balak H1004 mir sein Haus H4393 voll H3701 Silber H2091 und Gold H3201 gäbe, so vermöchte ich H6310 nicht den Befehl H3068 Jehovas H430 , meines Gottes H5674 , zu übertreten H6996 , um Kleines H1419 oder Großes H5414 zu tun .

20 H3212 Da kam H430 Gott H3915 des Nachts H1109 zu Bileam H559 und sprach H582 zu ihm: Wenn die Männer H935 gekommen H1697 sind, um H7121 dich zu rufen H6213 , so mache H6965 dich auf H935 , gehe H389 mit ihnen; aber H1696 nur dasjenige, was ich dir sagen werde, sollst du tun.

21 H1109 Und Bileam H1242 machte sich am Morgen H6965 auf H2280 und sattelte H860 seine Eselin H3212 und zog H8269 mit den Fürsten H4124 von Moab .

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ En nu, kom toch, vervloek mij dit volk, want het is machtiger dan ik; misschien zal ik het kunnen slaan, of het uit het land verdrijven; want ik weet, dat, wien gij zegent, die zal gezegend zijn, en wien gij vervloekt, die zal vervloekt zijn. ⁷ Toen gingen de oudsten der Moabieten, en de oudsten der Midianieten, en hadden het loon der waarzeggingen in hun hand; alzo kwamen zij tot Bileam, en spraken tot hem de woorden van Balak. ⁸ Hij dan zeide tot hen: Vernacht hier dezen nacht, zo zal ik ulieden een antwoord wederbrengen, gelijk als de HEERE tot mij zal gesproken hebben. Toen bleven de vorsten der Moabieten bij Bileam. ⁹ En God kwam tot Bileam en zeide: Wie zijn die mannen, die bij u zijn? ¹⁰ Toen zeide Bileam tot God: Balak, de zoon van Zippor, de koning der Moabieten, heeft hen tot mij gezonden, zeggende: ¹¹ Zie, er is een volk uit Egypte getogen, en het heeft het gezicht des lands bedekt; kom nu, vervloek het mij; misschien zal ik tegen hetzelve kunnen strijden, of het uitdrijven. ¹² Toen zeide God tot Bileam: Gij zult met hen niet trekken; gij zult dat volk niet vloeken, want het is gezegend. ¹³ Toen stond Bileam des morgens op, en zeide tot de vorsten van Balak: Gaat naar uw land; want de HEERE weigert mij toe te laten met ulieden te gaan. ¹⁴ Zo stonden dan de vorsten der Moabieten op, en kwamen tot Balak, en zij zeiden: Bileam heeft geweigerd met ons te gaan. ¹⁵ Doch Balak voer nog voort vorsten te zenden, meer en eerlijker, dan die waren; ¹⁶ Die tot Bileam kwamen, en hem zeiden: Alzo zegt Balak, de zoon van Zippor: Laat u toch niet beletten tot mij te komen! ¹⁷ Want ik zal u zeer hoog vereren, en al wat gij tot mij zeggen zult, dat zal ik doen; zo kom toch, vervloek mij dit volk! ¹⁸ Toen antwoordde Bileam, en zeide tot de dienaren van Balak: Wanneer Balak mij zijn huis vol zilver en goud gave, zo vermocht ik niet het bevel des HEEREN mijns Gods te overtreden, om te doen klein of groot. ¹⁹ En nu, blijft gijlieden toch ook hier dezen nacht, opdat ik wete, wat de HEERE tot mij verder spreken zal. ²⁰ God nu kwam tot Bileam des nachts, en zeide tot hem: Dewijl die mannen gekomen zijn, om u te roepen, sta op, ga met hen; en nochtans zult gij dat doen, hetwelk Ik tot u spreken zal. ²¹ Toen stond Bileam des morgens op, en zadelde zijn ezelin, en hij trok heen met de vorsten van Moab.

9 H430 En God H935 H8799 kwam H1109 tot Bileam H559 H8799 en zeide H582 : Wie zijn die mannen, die bij u zijn?

10 H559 H8799 Toen zeide H1109 Bileam H430 tot God H1111 : Balak H1121 , de zoon H6834 van Zippor H4428 , de koning H4124 der Moabieten H7971 H8804 , heeft hen tot mij gezonden, [zeggende]:

11 H5971 Zie, er is een volk H4714 uit Egypte H3318 H8802 getogen H5869 , en het heeft het gezicht H776 des lands H3680 H8762 bedekt H3212 H8798 ; kom H6895 H8798 nu, vervloek H3201 H8799 het mij; misschien zal ik tegen hetzelve kunnen H3898 H8736 strijden H1644 H8765 , of het uitdrijven.

12 H559 H8799 Toen zeide H430 God H1109 tot Bileam H3212 H8799 : Gij zult met hen niet trekken H5971 ; gij zult dat volk H779 H8799 niet vloeken H1288 H8803 , want het is gezegend.

13 H6965 H0 Toen stond H1109 Bileam H1242 des morgens H6965 H8799 op H559 H8799 , en zeide H8269 tot de vorsten H1111 van Balak H3212 H8798 : Gaat H776 naar uw land H3068 ; want de HEERE H3985 H8765 weigert H5414 H8800 mij toe te laten H1980 H8800 met ulieden te gaan.

15 H1111 Doch Balak H3254 H8686 voer nog voort H8269 vorsten H7971 H8800 te zenden H7227 , meer H3513 H8737 en eerlijker, dan die waren;

16 H1109 Die tot Bileam H935 H8799 kwamen H559 H8799 , en hem zeiden H559 H8804 : Alzo zegt H1111 Balak H1121 , de zoon H6834 van Zippor H4513 H8735 : Laat u toch niet beletten H1980 H8800 tot mij te komen!

17 H3966 Want ik zal u zeer H3513 H8763 hoog H3513 H8762 vereren H559 H8799 , en al wat gij tot mij zeggen zult H6213 H8799 , dat zal ik doen H3212 H8798 ; zo kom H6895 H8798 toch, vervloek H5971 mij dit volk!

18 H6030 H8799 Toen antwoordde H1109 Bileam H559 H8799 , en zeide H5650 tot de dienaren H1111 van Balak H1111 : Wanneer Balak H1004 mij zijn huis H4393 vol H3701 zilver H2091 en goud H5414 H8799 gave H3201 H8799 , zo vermocht ik H6310 niet het bevel H3068 des HEEREN H430 mijns Gods H5674 H8800 te overtreden H6213 H8800 , om te doen H6996 klein H1419 of groot.

19 H3427 H8798 En nu, blijft gijlieden H3915 toch ook hier dezen nacht H3045 H8799 , opdat ik wete H3068 , wat de HEERE H3254 H8686 tot mij verder H1696 H8763 spreken zal.

20 H430 God H935 H8799 nu kwam H1109 tot Bileam H3915 des nachts H559 H8799 , en zeide H582 tot hem: Dewijl die mannen H935 H8804 gekomen zijn H7121 H8800 , om u te roepen H6965 H8798 , sta op H3212 H8798 , ga H389 met hen; en nochtans H1697 zult gij dat H6213 H8799 doen H1696 H8762 , hetwelk Ik tot u spreken zal.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Viens donc, et maudis ce peuple, car il est plus puissant que nous; si nous pouvions les frapper séparément, je les chasserais de cette terre. Or, je le sais, ceux que tu bénis sont bénis, ceux que tu maudis sont maudits. ⁷ Et les anciens de Moab, portant des présents, partirent avec les anciens des Madianites; arrivés chez Balaam, ils lui répétèrent les paroles de Balac, ⁸ Et il leur dit: Reposez-vous ici cette nuit, et je vous rapporterai ce que m’aura dit le Seigneur; les princes de Moab demeurèrent donc chez Balaam. ⁹ Et Dieu dit à Balaam: Qui sont ces hommes que tu as chez toi? ¹⁰ Balaam répondit à Dieu: Balac, fils de Séphor, roi de Moab, me les a envoyés, disant: ¹¹ Un peuple est venu d’Egypte, il couvre la face de la terre, et il est campé tout près de moi; viens donc et maudis-le; peut-être pourrai-je ainsi le vaincre et le chasser de la contrée. ¹² Dieu dit à Balaam; tu ne partiras pas avec eux; tu ne maudiras pas ce peuple, car il est béni. ¹³ S’étant donc levé de grand matin, Balaam dit aux princes de Balac: Retournez vers votre maître, Dieu ne me permet pas de partir avec vous. ¹⁴ Et les princes de Moab, s’étant levés, arrivèrent chez Balac, disant: Balaam ne veut pas venir avec nous. ¹⁵ ¶ Balac lui envoya des chefs plus nombreux et plus en honneur que les premiers, ¹⁶ Ils allèrent chez Balaam, et ils lui dirent: Voici ce que dit Balac: Je t’en supplie, ne tarde pas à venir chez moi, ¹⁷ Je te comblerai d’honneurs; tout ce que tu me demanderas, je te l’accorderai; mais viens et maudis ce peuple. ¹⁸ Balaam répondit aux princes de Balac: Balac dut-il me donner plein sa maison d’argent et d’or, il m’est impossible de ne pas tenir compte de la parole du Seigneur Dieu, ni de songer à faire plus ou moins qu’il ne m’a dit. ¹⁹ Vous aussi restez donc cette nuit chez moi, et je saurai ce que le Seigneur me dira de nouveau. ²⁰ La nuit, Dieu vint à Balaam, et il lui dit: Puisque ces hommes sont venus te chercher, lève-toi et suis-les, mais tu feras selon la parole que je te dirai. ²¹ Balaam, s’étant levé de grand matin, bâta son ânesse et partit avec les princes de Moab.

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Et maintenant, viens, je te prie, maudis-moi ce peuple, car il est plus fort que moi: peut-être pourrai-je le frapper, et le chasserai-je du pays; car je sais que celui que tu bénis est béni, et que celui que tu maudis est maudit. ⁷ Et les anciens de Moab et les anciens de Madian s'en allèrent, ayant dans leurs mains le salaire de la divination; et ils vinrent à Balaam et lui dirent les paroles de Balak. ⁸ Et il leur dit: Passez ici la nuit, et je vous rapporterai la parole selon que l'Éternel m'aura parlé. Et les seigneurs de Moab demeurèrent avec Balaam. ⁹ Et Dieu vint à Balaam, et dit: Qui sont ces hommes que tu as chez toi? ¹⁰ Et Balaam dit à Dieu: Balak, fils de Tsippor, roi de Moab, a envoyé vers moi: ¹¹ Voici, un peuple est sorti d'Égypte, et il couvre le dessus du pays; viens maintenant, maudis-le-moi: peut-être pourrai-je combattre contre lui, et le chasserai-je. ¹² Et Dieu dit à Balaam: Tu n'iras pas avec eux; tu ne maudiras pas le peuple, car il est béni. ¹³ Et Balaam se leva le matin, et dit aux seigneurs de Balak: Allez dans votre pays; car l'Éternel refuse de me laisser aller avec vous. ¹⁴ Et les seigneurs de Moab se levèrent, et s'en allèrent vers Balak, et dirent: Balaam a refusé de venir avec nous. ¹⁵
Et Balak envoya encore des seigneurs, plus nombreux et plus considérables que ceux-là; ¹⁶ et ils vinrent à Balaam, et lui dirent: Ainsi a dit Balak, fils de Tsippor: Je te prie, ne te laisse pas empêcher de venir vers moi; ¹⁷ car je te comblerai d'honneurs, et tout ce que tu me diras, je le ferai; viens donc, je te prie, maudis-moi ce peuple. ¹⁸ Et Balaam répondit et dit aux serviteurs de Balak: Quand Balak me donnerait plein sa maison d'argent et d'or, je ne pourrais transgresser le commandement de l'Éternel, mon Dieu, pour faire une chose petite ou grande; ¹⁹ et maintenant, je vous prie, demeurez ici, vous aussi, cette nuit, et je saurai ce que l'Éternel aura de plus à me dire. ²⁰ Et Dieu vint la nuit à Balaam, et lui dit: Si ces hommes sont venus pour t'appeler, lève-toi, va avec eux; seulement, la parole que je te dirai, tu la feras. ²¹ Et Balaam se leva le matin, et sella son ânesse, et s'en alla avec les seigneurs de Moab.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Viens donc maintenant, je te prie, maudis-moi ce peuple, car il est plus puissant que moi; peut-être que je serai le plus fort, et que nous le battrons, et que je le chasserai du pays; car je sais que celui que tu béniras, sera béni; et que celui que tu maudiras sera maudit. ⁷ Les Anciens donc de Moab s'en allèrent avec les Anciens de Madian, ayant en leurs mains de quoi payer le devin, et ils vinrent à Balaam, et lui rapportèrent les paroles de Balac. ⁸ Et il leur répondit : Demeurez ici cette nuit, et je vous rendrai réponse selon que l'Eternel m'aura parlé. Et les Seigneurs des Moabites demeurèrent avec Balaam. ⁹ Et Dieu vint à Balaam, et dit : Qui sont ces hommes-là que tu as chez toi ? ¹⁰ Et Balaam répondit à Dieu : Balac, fils de Tsippor, Roi de Moab, a envoyé vers moi, en disant : ¹¹ Voici un peuple qui est sorti d'Egypte, et qui a couvert le dessus de la terre; viens donc maintenant, maudis-le moi; peut-être que je le pourrai combattre, et que je le chasserai. ¹² Et Dieu dit à Balaam : Tu n'iras point avec eux et tu ne maudiras point ce peuple; car il est béni. ¹³ Et Balaam s'étant levé dès le matin, dit aux Seigneurs qui avaient été envoyés par Balac : Retournez dans votre pays; car l'Eternel a refusé de me laisser aller avec vous. ¹⁴ Ainsi les Seigneurs des Moabites se levèrent, et revinrent à Balac, et dirent : Balaam a refusé de venir avec nous. ¹⁵ Et Balac envoya encore des Seigneurs en plus grand nombre, et plus honorables que les premiers. ¹⁶ Qui étant venus à Balaam, lui dirent : Ainsi a dit Balac, fils de Tsippor : Je te prie, que rien ne t'empêche de venir vers moi; ¹⁷ Car certainement je te récompenserai beaucoup, et je ferai tout ce que tu me diras; je te prie donc viens, maudis moi ce peuple. ¹⁸ Et Balaam répondit et dit aux Serviteurs de Balac : Quand Balac me donnerait sa maison pleine d'or et d'argent, je ne pourrais point transgresser le commandement de l'Eternel mon Dieu, pour faire aucune chose, petite ni grande. ¹⁹ Toutefois je vous prie demeurez maintenant ici encore cette nuit, et je saurai ce que l'Eternel aura de plus à me dire. ²⁰ Et Dieu vint la nuit à Balaam, et lui dit : Puisque ces hommes sont venus t'appeler, lève-toi, et t'en va avec eux; mais quoi qu'il en soit tu feras ce que je te dirai. ²¹ Ainsi Balaam se leva le matin, et sella son ânesse, et s'en alla avec les Seigneurs de Moab.

Ils arrivèrent auprès de Balaam, et lui rapportèrent les paroles de Balak. ⁸ Balaam leur dit: Passez ici la nuit, et je vous donnerai réponse, d'après ce que l'Eternel me dira. Et les chefs de Moab restèrent chez Balaam. ⁹ Dieu vint à Balaam, et dit: Qui sont ces hommes que tu as chez toi? ¹⁰ Balaam répondit à Dieu: Balak, fils de Tsippor, roi de Moab, les a envoyés pour me dire: ¹¹ Voici, un peuple est sorti d'Egypte, et il couvre la surface de la terre; viens donc, maudis-le; peut-être ainsi pourrai-je le combattre, et le chasserai-je. ¹² Dieu dit à Balaam: Tu n'iras point avec eux; tu ne maudiras point ce peuple, car il est béni. ¹³ Balaam se leva le matin, et il dit aux chefs de Balak: Allez dans votre pays, car l'Eternel refuse de me laisser aller avec vous. ¹⁴ Et les princes de Moab se levèrent, retournèrent auprès de Balak, et dirent: Balaam a refusé de venir avec nous. ¹⁵ Balak envoya de nouveau des chefs en plus grand nombre et plus considérés que les précédents. ¹⁶ Ils arrivèrent auprès de Balaam, et lui dirent: Ainsi parle Balak, fils de Tsippor: Que l'on ne t'empêche donc pas de venir vers moi; ¹⁷ car je te rendrai beaucoup d'honneurs, et je ferai tout ce que tu me diras; viens, je te prie, maudis-moi ce peuple. ¹⁸ Balaam répondit et dit aux serviteurs de Balak: Quand Balak me donnerait sa maison pleine d'argent et d'or, je ne pourrais faire aucune chose, ni petite ni grande, contre l'ordre de l'Eternel, mon Dieu. ¹⁹ Maintenant, je vous prie, restez ici cette nuit, et je saurai ce que l'Eternel me dira encore. ²⁰ Dieu vint à Balaam pendant la nuit, et lui dit: Puisque ces hommes sont venus pour t'appeler, lève-toi, va avec eux; mais tu feras ce que je te dirai. ²¹ Balaam se leva le matin, sella son ânesse, et partit avec les chefs de Moab.

10 H1109 Balaam H559 répondit H8799 H430 à Dieu H1111 : Balak H1121 , fils H6834 de Tsippor H4428 , roi H4124 de Moab H7971 , les a envoyés H8804 pour me dire:

11 H5971 Voici, un peuple H3318 est sorti H8802 H4714 d’Egypte H3680 , et il couvre H8762 H5869 la surface H776 de la terre H3212 ; viens H8798 H6895 donc, maudis H8798 H3201 -le ; peut-être ainsi pourrai H8799 H3898 -je le combattre H8736 H1644 , et le chasserai H8765 -je.

12 H430 Dieu H559 dit H8799 H1109 à Balaam H3212 : Tu n’iras H8799 H779 point avec eux ; tu ne maudiras H8799 H5971 point ce peuple H1288 , car il est béni H8803 .

13 H1109 Balaam H6965 se leva H8799 H1242 le matin H559 , et il dit H8799 H8269 aux chefs H1111 de Balak H3212 : Allez H8798 H776 dans votre pays H3068 , car l’Eternel H3985 refuse H8765 H5414 de me laisser H8800 H1980 aller H8800 avec vous.

14 H8269 Et les princes H4124 de Moab H6965 se levèrent H8799 H935 , retournèrent H8799 H1111 auprès de Balak H559 , et dirent H8799 H1109 : Balaam H3985 a refusé H8765 H1980 de venir H8800 avec nous.

15 H1111 ¶ Balak H7971 envoya H8800 H3254 de nouveau H8686 H8269 des chefs H7227 en plus grand nombre H3513 et plus considérés H8737 que les précédents.

16 H935 Ils arrivèrent H8799 H1109 auprès de Balaam H559 , et lui dirent H8799 H559 : Ainsi parle H8804 H1111 Balak H1121 , fils H6834 de Tsippor H4513 : Que l’on ne t’empêche H8735 H1980 donc pas de venir H8800 vers moi ;

17 H3513 car je te rendrai H8763 H3966 beaucoup H3513 d’honneurs H8762 H6213 , et je ferai H8799 H559 tout ce que tu me diras H8799 H3212 ; viens H8798 H6895 , je te prie, maudis H8798 H5971 -moi ce peuple.

18 H1109 Balaam H6030 répondit H8799 H559 et dit H8799 H5650 aux serviteurs H1111 de Balak H1111 : Quand Balak H5414 me donnerait H8799 H1004 sa maison H4393 pleine H3701 d’argent H2091 et d’or H3201 , je ne pourrais H8799 H5674 faire H8800 H6213 aucune chose, H8800 H6996 ni petite H1419 ni grande H6310 , contre l’ordre H3068 de l’Eternel H430 , mon Dieu.

19 H3427 Maintenant, je vous prie, restez H8798 H3915 ici cette nuit H3045 , et je saurai H8799 H3068 ce que l’Eternel H1696 me dira H8763 H3254 encore H8686 .

20 H430 Dieu H935 vint H8799 H1109 à Balaam H3915 pendant la nuit H559 , et lui dit H8799 H582 : Puisque ces hommes H935 sont venus H8804 H7121 pour t’appeler H8800 H6965 , lève H8798 H3212 -toi, va H8798 H389 avec eux ; mais H6213 tu feras H8799 H1697 ce que je te dirai H1696 H8762 .

21 H1109 Balaam H6965 se leva H8799 H1242 le matin H2280 , sella H8799 H860 son ânesse H3212 , et partit H8799 H8269 avec les chefs H4124 de Moab.

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Ven pues, ahora, te ruego, maldíceme este pueblo, porque es más fuerte que yo; por ventura podré yo herirlo, y echarlo de la tierra; pues yo sé que el que tú bendijeres, será bendito, y el que tú maldijeres, será maldito. ⁷ Y fueron los ancianos de Moab, y los ancianos de Madián, con las encantaciones en su mano, y llegaron a Balaam, y le dijeron las palabras de Balac. ⁸ Y él les dijo: Reposad aquí esta noche, y yo os recitaré las palabras, cuando el SEÑOR me hablare. Así los príncipes de Moab se quedaron con Balaam. ⁹ Y vino Dios a Balaam, y le dijo: ¿Quiénes son estos varones que están contigo? ¹⁰ Y Balaam respondió a Dios: Balac hijo de Zipor, rey de Moab, ha enviado a mí diciendo : ¹¹ He aquí, este pueblo que ha salido de Egipto, cubre la faz de la tierra; ven pues, ahora, y maldícemelo; por ventura podré pelear con él, y echarlo. ¹² Entonces Dios dijo a Balaam: No vayas con ellos, ni maldigas al pueblo; porque es bendito. ¹³ Así Balaam se levantó por la mañana, y dijo a los príncipes de Balac: Volveos a vuestra tierra, porque el SEÑOR no me quiere dejar ir con vosotros. ¹⁴ Y los príncipes de Moab se levantaron, y vinieron a Balac, y dijeron: Balaam no quiso venir con nosotros. ¹⁵ Y volvió Balac a enviar otra vez más príncipes, y más honrados que los otros. ¹⁶ Los cuales vinieron a Balaam, y le dijeron: Así dice Balac, hijo de Zipor: Te ruego que no dejes de venir a mí; ¹⁷ porque sin duda te honraré mucho, y haré todo lo que me dijeres; ven, pues ahora, maldíceme a este pueblo. ¹⁸ Y Balaam respondió, y dijo a los siervos de Balac: Aunque Balac me diese su casa llena de plata y oro, no puedo traspasar la palabra del SEÑOR mi Dios, para hacer cosa chica ni grande. ¹⁹ Os ruego, por tanto, ahora, que reposéis aquí esta noche, para que yo sepa qué me vuelve a decir el SEÑOR. ²⁰ Y vino Dios a Balaam de noche, y le dijo: Si vinieren a llamarte estos varones, levántate y ve con ellos; pero harás lo que yo te dijere. ²¹ Así Balaam se levantó por la mañana, y cinchó su asna, y fue con los príncipes de Moab.

ReinaValera⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Ven pues ahora, te ruego, maldíceme este pueblo, porque es más fuerte que yo: quizá podré yo herirlo, y echarlo de la tierra: que yo sé que el que tú bendijeres, será bendito, y el que tú maldijeres, será maldito. ⁷ Y fueron los ancianos de Moab, y los ancianos de Madián, con las dádivas de adivinación en su mano, y llegaron á Balaam, y le dijeron las palabras de Balac. ⁸ Y él les dijo: Reposad aquí esta noche, y yo os referiré las palabras, como Jehová me hablare. Así los príncipes de Moab se quedaron con Balaam. ⁹ Y vino Dios á Balaam, y díjole: ¿Qué varones son estos que están contigo? ¹⁰ Y Balaam respondió á Dios: Balac hijo de Zippor, rey de Moab, ha enviado á mí diciendo: ¹¹ He aquí este pueblo que ha salido de Egipto, cubre la haz de la tierra: ven pues ahora, y maldícemelo; quizá podré pelear con él, y echarlo. ¹² Entonces dijo Dios á Balaam: No vayas con ellos, ni maldigas al pueblo; porque es bendito. ¹³ Así Balaam se levantó por la mañana, y dijo á los príncipes de Balac: Volveos á vuestra tierra, porque Jehová no me quiere dejar ir con vosotros. ¹⁴ Y los príncipes de Moab se levantaron, y vinieron á Balac, y dijeron: Balaam no quiso venir con nosotros. ¹⁵ Y tornó Balac á enviar otra vez más príncipes, y más honorables que los otros. ¹⁶ Los cuales vinieron á Balaam, y dijéronle: Así dice Balac, hijo de Zippor: Ruégote que no dejes de venir á mí: ¹⁷ Porque sin duda te honraré mucho, y haré todo lo que me dijeres: ven pues ahora, maldíceme á este pueblo. ¹⁸ Y Balaam respondió, y dijo á los siervos de Balac: Aunque Balac me diese su casa llena de plata y oro, no puedo traspasar la palabra de Jehová mi Dios, para hacer cosa chica ni grande. ¹⁹ Ruégoos por tanto ahora, que reposeis aquí esta noche, para que yo sepa que me vuelve á decir Jehová. ²⁰ Y vino Dios á Balaam de noche, y díjole: Si vinieren á llamarte hombres, levántate y ve con ellos: empero harás lo que yo te dijere. ²¹ Así Balaam se levantó por la mañana, y cinchó su asna, y fué con los príncipes de Moab.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Eja, pra, të lutem, dhe mallkoje për mua këtë popull, sepse është tepër i fuqishëm për mua; ndofta do t'ia dal ta mund dhe ta dëboj nga vendi im; sepse unë e di mirë që ai që ti bekon është i bekuar dhe ai që ti mallkon është i mallkuar". ⁷ Atëherë pleqtë e Moabit dhe pleqtë e Madianit u nisën duke mbajtur në dorë shpërblimin e shortarit dhe, kur arritën te Balaami, i treguan fjalët e Balakut. ⁸ Por Balaami u tha atyre: "Kalojeni natën këtu dhe do t'ju njoftoj përgjigjen që Zoti do të më japë". Kështu princët e Moabit mbetën me Balaamin. ⁹ Atëherë Perëndia i shkoi Balaamit dhe i tha: "Ç'janë këta njerëz që janë me ty?". ¹⁰ Dhe Balaami iu përgjegj Perëndisë: "Balaku, bir i Tsiporit, mbret i Moabit, më ka çuar fjalë: ¹¹ "Ja, populli që ka dalë nga Egjipti mbulon faqen e dheut; prandaj eja dhe mallkoje për mua; ndofta do t'ia dal ta mund dhe ta dëboj"". ¹² Dhe Perëndia i tha Balaamit: "Ti nuk do të shkosh me ta, nuk do ta mallkosh atë popull, se është një popull i bekuar". ¹³ Kështu Balaami u ngrit në mëngjes dhe u tha princërve të Balakut: "Kthehuni në vendin tuaj, sepse Zoti nuk më dha leje të vij me ju". ¹⁴ Pas kësaj princët e Moabit u ngritën, u kthyen te Balaku dhe thanë: "Balaami nuk pranoi të vijë me ne". ¹⁵ Atëherë Balaku dërgoi përsëri disa princa, në një numër më të madh dhe më të rëndësishëm në krahasim me të parët. ¹⁶ Ata erdhën te Balaami dhe i thanë: "Kështu thotë Balaku, bir i Tsiporit: "Asgjë nuk duhet të të ndalë të vish tek unë, ¹⁷ sepse unë do të të mbush me nderime dhe do të bëj të gjitha ato që do të më thuash ti; eja, pra, të lutem, dhe mallkoje këtë popull për mua"". ¹⁸ Por Balaami u përgjegj dhe u tha shërbëtorëve të Balakut: "Edhe sikur Balaku të më jepte shtëpinë e tij të mbushur me argjend dhe me ar, nuk mund të shkel urdhrin e Zotit, Perëndisë tim, për të kryer veprime të vogla apo të mëdha. ¹⁹ Prandaj, ju lutem, rrini këtu këtë natë, në mënyrë që të mësoj çfarë do të më thotë tjetër Zoti". ²⁰ Dhe Perëndia i shkoi atë natë Balaamit dhe i tha: "Në rast se këta njerëz kanë ardhur të të thërresin, çohu dhe shko me ta; por do të bësh vetëm ato gjëra që unë do të të them". ²¹ Kështu Balaami u çua në mëngjes, shaloi gomaricën e tij dhe shkoi bashkë me princat e Moabit.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ итак приди, прокляни мне народ сей, ибо он сильнее меня: может быть, я тогда буду в состоянии поразить его и выгнать его из земли; я знаю, что кого ты благословишь, тот благословен, и кого ты проклянешь, тот проклят. ⁷ И пошли старейшины Моавитские и старейшины Мадиамские, с подаркамив руках за волхвование, и пришли к Валааму, и пересказали ему слова Валаковы. ⁸ И сказал он им: переночуйте здесь ночь, и дам вам ответ, как скажет мне Господь. И остались старейшины Моавитские у Валаама. ⁹ И пришел Бог к Валааму и сказал: какие это люди у тебя? ¹⁰ Валаам сказал Богу: Валак, сын Сепфоров, царь Моавитский, прислал их ко мне сказать : ¹¹ вот, народ вышел из Египта и покрыл лице земли, итак приди, прокляни мне его; может быть я тогда буду в состоянии сразиться с ним и выгнать его. ¹² И сказал Бог Валааму: не ходи с ними, не проклинай народа сего, ибо он благословен. ¹³ И встал Валаам поутру и сказал князьям Валаковым: пойдите в землю вашу, ибо не хочет Господь позволить мне идти с вами. ¹⁴ И встали князья Моавитские, и пришли к Валаку, и сказали ему : не согласился Валаам идти с нами. ¹⁵ Валак послал еще князей, более и знаменитеетех. ¹⁶ И пришли они к Валааму и сказали ему: так говорит Валак, сын Сепфоров: не откажись придти ко мне; ¹⁷ я окажу тебе великую почесть и сделаю тебе все, что ни скажешь мне; приди же, прокляни мне народ сей. ¹⁸ И отвечал Валаам и сказал рабам Валаковым: хотя бы Валак давал мне полный свой дом серебра и золота, не могу преступить повеления Господа, Бога моего, и сделать что-либо малое или великое по своему произволу; ¹⁹ впрочем, останьтесь здесь и вы на ночь, и я узнаю, что еще скажет мне Господь. ²⁰ И пришел Бог к Валааму ночью и сказал ему: если люди сии пришли звать тебя, встань, пойди с ними; но только делай то, что Я буду говорить тебе. ²¹ Валаам встал поутру, оседлал ослицу свою и пошел с князьями Моавитскими.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ فالآن تعال والعن لي هذا الشعب. لانه اعظم مني. لعله يمكننا ان نكسره فاطرده من الارض. لاني عرفت ان الذي تباركه مبارك والذي تلعنه ملعون. ⁷ فانطلق شيوخ موآب وشيوخ مديان وحلوان العرافة في ايديهم وأتوا الى بلعام وكلموه بكلام بالاق. ⁸ فقال لهم بيتوا هنا الليلة فاردّ عليكم جوابا كما يكلمني الرب. فمكث رؤساء موآب عند بلعام ⁹ فأتى الله الى بلعام وقال من هم هؤلاء الرجال الذين عندك. ¹⁰ فقال بلعام لله. بالاق بن صفّور ملك موآب قد ارسل اليّ يقول. ¹¹ هوذا الشعب الخارج من مصر قد غشّى وجه الارض. تعال الآن العن لي اياه لعلي اقدر ان احاربه واطرده. ¹² فقال الله لبلعام لا تذهب معهم ولا تلعن الشعب لانه مبارك. ¹³ فقام بلعام صباحا وقال لرؤساء بالاق انطلقوا الى ارضكم لان الرب أبى ان يسمح لي بالذهاب معكم. ¹⁴ فقام رؤساء موآب واتوا الى بالاق وقالوا ابى بلعام ان ياتي معنا. ¹⁵ فعاد بالاق وارسل ايضا رؤساء اكثر واعظم من اولئك. ¹⁶ فأتوا الى بلعام وقالوا له. هكذا قال بالاق بن صفّور. لا تمتنع من الاتيان اليّ. ¹⁷ لاني اكرمك اكراما عظيما وكل ما تقول لي افعله. فتعال الآن العن لي هذا الشعب. ¹⁸ فاجاب بلعام وقال لعبيد بالاق. ولو اعطاني بالاق ملء بيته فضة وذهبا لا اقدر ان اتجاوز قول الرب الهي لاعمل صغيرا او كبيرا. ¹⁹ فالآن امكثوا هنا انتم ايضا هذه الليلة لاعلم ماذا يعود الرب يكلمني به. ²⁰ فأتى الله الى بلعام ليلا وقال له ان أتى الرجال ليدعوك فقم اذهب معهم. انما تعمل الامر الذي اكلمك به فقط. ²¹ فقام بلعام صباحا وشدّ على اتانه وانطلق مع رؤساء موآب

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Ела сега, моля те, и ми прокълни този народ, защото е по-силен от мен, дано успея да го победя и да го изгоня от земята; понеже зная, че онзи, когото ти благославяш, е благословен, а когото проклинаш, е проклет. ⁷ И така, моавските старейшини и мадиамските старейшини отидоха с възнаграждение за врачуването в ръцете си, дойдоха при Валаам и му казаха думите на Валак. ⁸ А той им каза: Пренощувайте тук и ще ви дам отговор според това, което ми каже ГОСПОД. И така, моавските първенци останаха у Валаам. ⁹ И Бог дойде при Валаам и каза: Кои са тези мъже у теб? ¹⁰ И Валаам каза на Бога: Валак, синът на Сепфор, цар на моавците, ги е пратил до мен да кажат: ¹¹ Ето, народът, който излезе от Египет, покрива лицето на земята; ела сега и ми го прокълни, дано бих могъл да се бия с него и да го изгоня. ¹² А Бог каза на Валаам: Да не отидеш с тях и да не прокълнеш народа, защото е благословен! ¹³ И така, Валаам стана сутринта и каза на първенците на Валак: Идете в земята си, защото ГОСПОД Отказва да ме пусне да дойда с вас. ¹⁴ Тогава моавските първенци станаха и отидоха при Валак и казаха: Валаам отказва да дойде с нас. ¹⁵ А Валак отново изпрати първенци, повече и по-почитани от първите. ¹⁶ И те дойдоха при Валаам и му казаха: Така говори Валак, синът на Сепфор: Моля те, нищо да не те спре да дойдеш при мен, ¹⁷ защото ще те издигна до голяма почит и ще направя всичко, което би ми казал! И така, моля те, ела и ми прокълни този народ. ¹⁸ А Валаам отговори на слугите на Валак и каза: Ако би ми дал Валак и къщата си пълна със сребро и злато, аз не мога да престъпя думата на ГОСПОДА, моя Бог, да направя нещо малко или голямо. ¹⁹ Затова, моля ви, пренощувайте и вие тук, за да разбера какво още ще ми каже ГОСПОД. ²⁰ И Бог дойде при Валаам през нощта и му каза: Щом са дошли мъжете да те повикат, стани и иди с тях; но само онова, което ти кажа, него да направиш. ²¹ Затова Валаам стана на сутринта, оседла магарицата си и отиде с моавските първенци.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Zato dođi i prokuni mi ovaj narod jer je jači od mene. Tako ću ga moći svladati i istjerati iz zemlje.

Stignu Bileamu i prenesu mu Balakovu poruku. ⁸ On im rekne: "Prenoćite ovdje te ću vam odgovoriti prema onome što mi Jahve kaže." Tako moapski knezovi ostanu kod Bileama. ⁹ Bog dođe Bileamu i upita: "Tko su ti ljudi s tobom?" Bileam odgovori Bogu: ¹⁰ "Poslao ih k meni Balak, sin Siporov, moapski kralj, s porukom: ¹¹ 'Evo je neki narod došao iz Egipta i prekrio lice zemlje. Dođi da ga prokuneš. Tako ću ga moći svladati i protjerati.'" ¹² Ali Bog reče Bileamu: "Nemoj ići s njima! Nemoj proklinjati onaj narod jer je blagoslovljen." ¹³ Ujutro Bileam ustane te će Balakovim knezovima: "Odlazite u svoju zemlju jer mi ne da Jahve da pođem s vama." ¹⁴ Moapski se knezovi dignu, odu Balaku pa mu reknu: "Bileam nije htio poći s nama." ¹⁵ Balak opet pošalje knezove, brojnije i uglednije od prvih. ¹⁶ Oni dođu Bileamu i reknu mu: "Ovako je poručio Balak, sin Siporov: 'Ne skanjuj se nego dođi k meni. ¹⁷ Bogato ću te nagraditi i učinit ću sve što mi kažeš. Dođi, molim te, i prokuni mi ovaj narod!'" ¹⁸ Ali Bileam odgovori Balakovim slugama: "Da mi Balak dadne svoju kuću punu srebra i zlata, ne bih mogao prestupiti zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, da učinim išta, bilo veliko bilo malo. ¹⁹ Ali provedite ovdje i vi noć da doznam što će mi Jahve još kazati." ²⁰ Noću Bog dođe Bileamu pa mu rekne: "Ako su ti ljudi došli da te pozovu, ustani, pođi s njima! Ali da činiš samo što ti ja reknem!" ²¹ Ustane Bileam ujutro, osamari svoju magaricu i ode s moapskim knezovima.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Protož nyní poď medle, zlořeč mně k vůli lidu tomuto,nebo silnější mne jest; snad svítězím nad ním, a porazím jej, aneb vyženu z země této.

I zůstala knížata Moábská s Balámem. ⁹ Přišel pak Bůh k Balámovi a řekl: Kdo jsou ti muži u tebe? ¹⁰ Odpověděl Balám Bohu: Balák, syn Seforův, král Moábský, poslal ke mně, řka: ¹¹ Aj, lid ten, kterýž vyšel z Egypta, přikryl svrchek země; protož nyní poď, proklň mi jej, snad svítězím, bojuje s ním, a vyženu jej. ¹² I řekl Bůh k Balámovi: Nechoď s nimi, aniž zlořeč lidu tomu, nebo požehnaný jest. ¹³ Tedy Balám vstav ráno, řekl knížatům Balákovým: Navraťte se do země své, nebo nechce mi dopustiti Hospodin, abych šel s vámi. ¹⁴ A vstavše knížata Moábská, přišli k Balákovi a řekli: Nechtěl Balám jíti s námi. ¹⁵ Tedy opět poslal Balák více knížat a znamenitějších, nežli první. ¹⁶ Kteříž přišedše k Balámovi, řekli jemu: Toto praví Balák, syn Seforův: Nezpěčuj se, prosím, přijíti ke mně. ¹⁷ Nebo velikou ctí tě ctíti chci, a což mi koli rozkážeš, učiním; protož přiď, prosím, proklň mi lid tento. ¹⁸ Odpovídaje pak Balám, řekl služebníkům Balákovým: Byť mi pak dal Balák plný dům svůj stříbra a zlata, nemohl bych přestoupiti slova Hospodina Boha svého, a učiniti proti němu malé neb veliké věci. ¹⁹ Nyní však zůstaňte, prosím, zde i vy také této noci, abych zvěděl, co dále mluviti bude Hospodin se mnou. ²⁰ Přišed pak Bůh k Balámovi v noci, řekl jemu: Poněvadž proto, aby povolali tě, přišli muži tito, vstana, jdi s nimi, a však což přikáži tobě, to čiň. ²¹ Tedy Balám vstav ráno, osedlal oslici svou, a bral se s knížaty Moábskými.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Tule siis nyt ja kiroo minulle tämä kansa; sillä se on minua väkevämpi, että minä löisin häntä, ja hänen maaltani karkottaisin ulos; sillä minä tiedän, ketä sinä siunaat, se on siunattu, ja jota sinä kiroot, se on kirottu. ⁷ Ja Moabilaisten vanhimmat ynnä Midianilaisten vanhimpain kanssa menivät sinne, ja heillä oli noitumisen palkka kädessänsä. Ja koska he tulivat Bileamin tykö, sanoivat he hänelle Balakin sanat. ⁸ Ja hän sanoi heille: olkaat tässä yö, niin minä sanon teille vastauksen, mitä Herra minulle sanova on. Niin olivat Moabilaisten päämiehet Bileamin tykönä. ⁹ Ja Jumala tuli Bileamin tykö ja sanoi: mitkä miehet ne sinun tykönäs ovat? ¹⁰ Ja Bileam sanoi Jumalalle: Balak Zipporin poika, Moabilaisten kuningas, lähetti minun tyköni: ¹¹ Katso, kansa läksi Egyptistä ja peittää maan piirin: tule siis ja kiroo heitä minulle, että minä voisin sotia heitä vastaan ja karkottaisin heitä pois. ¹² Mutta Jumala sanoi Bileamille: älä mene heidän kanssansa, äläkä kiroo kansaa, sillä se on siunattu. ¹³ Silloin Bileam nousi varhain aamulla ja sanoi Balakin päämiehille: menkäät maallenne; sillä ei Herra salli minun teidän kanssanne mennä. ¹⁴ Ja Moabilaisten päämiehet nousivat ja tulivat Balakin tykö, ja sanoivat: ei Bileam tahdo tulla meidän kanssamme. ¹⁵ Niin lähetti Balak päämiehet, vielä usiammat ja jalommat entisiä, ¹⁶ Jotka tultuansa Bileamin tykö sanoivat hänelle: Näin Balak Zipporin poika sanoo sinulle: älä estele tulemasta minun tyköni; ¹⁷ Sillä minä teen sinulle suuren kunnian, ja mitäs sanot minulle, sen minä myös teen: tule siis ja kiroo minulle tämä kansa. ¹⁸ Niin vastasi Bileam, ja sanoi Balakin palvelioille: jos Balak antais minulle huoneensa täyden hopiaa ja kultaa, niin en minä sittenkään taida Herran minun Jumalani sanaa käydä ylitse tekemään vähää elikkä paljoa. ¹⁹ Vaan olkaat kuitenkin tekin tämä yö tässä, niin minä tahdon tiedustaa, mitä Herra vielä minun kanssani puhuva on. ²⁰ Silloin Jumala tuli yöllä Bileamin tykö ja sanoi hänelle: jos ne miehet ovat tulleet kutsumaan sinua, niin nouse ja mene heidän kanssansa, vaan kuitenkin, mitä minä sinulle sanon, sen pitää sinun tekemän. ²¹ Niin Bileam nousi varhain aamulla, valjasti aasinsa ja seurasi Moabilaisten päämiehiä.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Tule siis ja kiroa minun puolestani tämä kansa, sillä se on minua väkevämpi; ehkä minä sitten saan sen voitetuksi ja karkoitetuksi maasta. Sillä minä tiedän, että jonka sinä siunaat, se on siunattu, ja jonka sinä kiroat, se on kirottu." ⁷ Niin Mooabin vanhimmat ja Midianin vanhimmat lähtivät matkaan, tietäjänpalkka mukanansa. Ja kun he saapuivat Bileamin luo, puhuivat he hänelle Baalakin sanat. ⁸ Hän vastasi heille: "Viipykää täällä tämä yö, niin minä annan teille vastauksen sen mukaan, kuin Herra minulle puhuu". Silloin jäivät mooabilaisten päämiehet Bileamin luo. ⁹ Niin Jumala tuli Bileamin tykö ja kysyi: "Keitä ovat ne miehet, jotka ovat sinun luonasi?" ¹⁰ Bileam vastasi Jumalalle: "Baalak, Sipporin poika, Mooabin kuningas, on lähettänyt heidät tuomaan minulle tämän sanan: ¹¹ 'Katso, kansa on lähtenyt Egyptistä ja on tulvinut yli maan; tule siis, kiroa se minun puolestani, ehkä sitten voin ryhtyä taisteluun sitä vastaan ja karkoittaa sen'". ¹² Mutta Jumala sanoi Bileamille: "Älä mene heidän kanssaan äläkä kiroa sitä kansaa, sillä se on siunattu". ¹³ Niin Bileam nousi aamulla ja sanoi Baalakin päämiehille: "Menkää takaisin maahanne, sillä Herra ei ole sallinut minun lähteä teidän kanssanne". ¹⁴ Silloin nousivat Mooabin päämiehet ja tulivat Baalakin luo ja sanoivat: "Bileam ei suostunut lähtemään meidän kanssamme". ¹⁵ Mutta Baalak lähetti uudestaan päämiehiä matkaan, vielä useampia ja arvokkaampia kuin edelliset. ¹⁶ Ja he saapuivat Bileamin luo ja sanoivat hänelle: "Näin sanoo Baalak, Sipporin poika: 'Älä kieltäydy tulemasta minun luokseni. ¹⁷ Sillä minä palkitsen sinut ylenpalttisesti ja teen kaiken, mitä minulta vaadit; tule siis ja kiroa minun puolestani tämä kansa.'" ¹⁸ Mutta Bileam vastasi ja sanoi Baalakin palvelijoille: "Vaikka Baalak antaisi minulle talonsa täyden hopeata ja kultaa, en sittenkään voisi, en pienessä enkä suuressa, rikkoa Herran, minun Jumalani, käskyä. ¹⁹ Mutta jääkää nyt tänne tekin täksi yöksi, saadakseni tietää, mitä Herra vielä minulle sanoo." ²⁰ Niin Jumala tuli Bileamin tykö yöllä ja sanoi hänelle: "Jos nämä miehet ovat tulleet kutsumaan sinua, niin nouse ja lähde heidän kanssaan, mutta tee vain se, mitä minä sinulle sanon". ²¹ Ja Bileam nousi aamulla, satuloi aasintammansa ja lähti matkaan Mooabin päämiesten kanssa.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Mereka lebih kuat dari kami. Jadi, datanglah! Kutuklah mereka untukku. Barangkali kami dapat mengalahkan mereka dan mengusir mereka dari negeri ini. Sebab aku yakin orang yang kauberkati akan mendapat berkat, dan orang yang kaukutuk akan mendapat kutuk." ⁷ Maka pergilah para pemimpin orang Moab dan Midian itu dengan membawa upah untuk Bileam supaya ia mau mengutuk orang Israel. Setelah sampai kepada Bileam, mereka menyampaikan kepadanya pesan Raja Balak. ⁸ Kata Bileam kepada mereka, "Bermalamlah di sini. Besok akan saya kabarkan kepada kalian apa yang dikatakan TUHAN kepada saya." Maka para pemimpin Moab itu tinggal di tempat Bileam. ⁹ Lalu Allah datang kepada Bileam dan bertanya, "Siapakah orang-orang itu yang tinggal di tempatmu, Bileam?" ¹⁰ Jawab Bileam, "Mereka utusan Raja Balak dari Moab untuk mengabarkan ¹¹ bahwa suatu bangsa yang datang dari Mesir telah tersebar di mana-mana. Raja Balak menyuruh saya mengutuk bangsa itu untuk dia, supaya ia dapat memerangi dan mengusir mereka." ¹² Kata Allah kepada Bileam, "Jangan pergi dengan orang-orang itu, dan jangan mengutuk bangsa itu, karena mereka telah Kuberkati." ¹³ Keesokan harinya Bileam berkata kepada para utusan Balak itu, "Pulanglah, TUHAN tidak mengizinkan saya pergi dengan kalian." ¹⁴ Maka kembalilah mereka kepada Balak dan mengabarkan kepadanya bahwa Bileam tidak mau datang bersama mereka. ¹⁵ Lalu Balak mengirim lebih banyak utusan yang lebih tinggi pangkatnya dari yang pertama. ¹⁶ Mereka menyampaikan kepada Bileam pesan ini dari Balak, "Aku mohon dengan sangat: datanglah, dan jangan menolak. ¹⁷ Aku akan memberi upah yang banyak sekali, dan melakukan apa saja yang kaukatakan. Datanglah, dan kutuklah bangsa itu untukku." ¹⁸ Tetapi Bileam menjawab, "Sekalipun semua perak dan emas yang ada di dalam istana Raja Balak dibayarkan kepada saya, saya tak dapat melanggar perintah TUHAN, Allah yang saya sembah. Biar dalam hal yang kecil pun saya tidak dapat menentangnya. ¹⁹ Tetapi baiklah kalian bermalam di sini, seperti yang dilakukan para utusan yang terdahulu. Saya ingin tahu apakah masih ada yang mau dikatakan TUHAN kepada saya." ²⁰ Malam itu Allah datang kepada Bileam dan berkata, "Orang-orang itu datang untuk minta engkau pergi dengan mereka. Jadi bersiap-siaplah untuk pergi. Tetapi lakukanlah hanya yang diperintahkan kepadamu." ²¹ Keesokan harinya Bileam memasang pelana pada keledainya, lalu ikut dengan para pemimpin Moab itu.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ ora dunque vieni, ti prego, e maledicimi questo popolo; perciocchè egli è troppo potente per me; forse potrò fare in maniera che noi lo sconfiggeremo, e che io lo scaccerò dal paese; perciocchè io so che chi tu benedici è benedetto, e maledetto chi tu maledici. ⁷ E gli Anziani di Moab, e gli Anziani di Madian, andarono, avendo in mano gl’indovinamenti. E, giunti a Balaam, gli rapportarono le parole di Balac. ⁸ Ed egli disse loro: State qui questa notte; e poi io vi renderò risposta, secondo che il Signore avrà parlato. E i principali di Moab dimorarono con Balaam. ⁹ E Iddio venne a Balaam, e gli disse: Chi son cotesti uomini che sono appresso di te? ¹⁰ E Balaam disse a Dio: Balac, figliuolo di Sippor, re di Moab, ha mandato a dirmi: ¹¹ Ecco un popolo, ch’è uscito di Egitto, e ha coperta la faccia della terra; or vieni, e maledicimelo; forse potrò combattere con lui, e lo scaccerò. ¹² E Iddio disse a Balaam: Non andar con loro; non maledire quel popolo; conciossiachè egli sia benedetto. ¹³ E la mattina seguente, Balaam si levò, e disse a que’ principi di Balac: Andatevene al vostro paese; perciocchè il Signore ha rifiutato di concedermi ch’io vada con voi. ¹⁴ E i principi di Moab si levarono, e vennero a Balac, e gli dissero: Balaam ha ricusato di venir con noi. ¹⁵ E Balac vi mandò di nuovo altri principi, in maggior numero, e più onorati che que’ primi. ¹⁶ Ed essi vennero a Balaam, e gli dissero: Così dice Balac, figliuolo di Sippor: Deh! non ritenerti di venire a me; ¹⁷ perciocchè io del tutto ti farò grande onore, e farò tutto quello che tu mi dirai; deh! vieni pure, e maledicimi questo popolo. ¹⁸ E Balaam rispose, e disse a’ servitori di Balac: Avvegnachè Balac mi desse la sua casa piena d’argento e d’oro, io non potrei trapassare il comandamento del Signore Iddio mio, per far cosa alcuna piccola o grande. ¹⁹ Tuttavia statevene, vi prego, qui ancora voi questa notte, e io saprò ciò che il Signore seguiterà a dirmi. ²⁰ E Iddio venne di notte a Balaam, e gli disse: Cotesti uomini sono eglino venuti per chiamarti? levati, vai con loro; tuttavolta, fa’ quello che io ti dirò. ²¹ Balaam adunque si levò la mattina, e sellò la sua asina, e andò co’ principi di Moab.
