Then King Balak demanded of Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies. Instead, you have blessed them!”

巴勒对巴兰说：“你向我做的是什么事呢？我领你来咒诅我的仇敌，不料，你竟为他们祝福。”

巴勒对巴兰说：“你向我做的是什么呢？我带你来诅咒我的仇敌，看哪，你竟为他们祝福。”

巴勒对巴兰说：“你向我做的是什么呢？我带你来诅咒我的仇敌，看哪，你竟为他们祝福。”

巴勒对巴兰说：“你这是做什么？我请你来咒诅我的仇敌，你竟祝福他们！”

巴勒对巴兰说：“你向我作的是什么事呢？我领你来咒诅我的仇敌，你反倒给他们祝福。”

巴勒對巴蘭說：「你向我做的是甚麼事呢？我領你來咒詛我的仇敵，不料，你竟為他們祝福。」

巴勒對巴蘭說：「你向我做的是甚麼呢？我帶你來詛咒我的仇敵，看哪，你竟為他們祝福。」

巴勒對巴蘭說：「你向我做的是甚麼呢？我帶你來詛咒我的仇敵，看哪，你竟為他們祝福。」

巴勒對巴蘭說：「你這是做什麽？我請你來咒詛我的仇敵，你竟祝福他們！」

巴勒對巴蘭說：“你向我作的是甚麼事呢？我領你來咒詛我的仇敵，你反倒給他們祝福。”

巴勒對巴蘭說：『你待我的是怎麼回事呢？我領你來咒詛我的仇敵；你看，你竟全給他們祝福了！』

巴勒謂巴蘭曰、爾於我何為、我召爾詛敵、爾竟祝之、

巴勒謂巴蘭曰、惡、是何言與、我召爾詛敵、爾反祝之。

巴勒謂巴蘭曰、爾向我如此行何耶、我召爾咒詛我敵、爾反為之祝福、

Balak said to Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but you have done nothing but bless them!”

Balak said to Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I brought you here to put a curse on my enemies! But all you have done is give them a blessing!”

And Balak said to Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have done nothing but bless them.”

“ What have you done to me?” Balak asked Balaam.“ I brought you to curse my enemies, but look, you have only blessed them!”

Then Balak said to Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I took you to put a curse on my enemies, but behold, you have actually blessed them!”

Then Balak said to Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and look, you have blessed them bountifully!”

And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.

“ What have you done to me?” Balak asked Balaam.“ I brought you to curse my enemies, but look, you have only blessed them!”

And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed[ them] altogether.

Then Balak said to Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but on the contrary you have only blessed them!”

Balak said to Balaam,“ What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.”

King Balak flew into a rage against Balaam. He angrily clapped his hands and shouted,“ I called you to curse my enemies! Instead, you have blessed them three times.

For they had not provided the Israelites with food and water in the wilderness. Instead, they hired Balaam to curse them, though our God turned the curse into a blessing.

‘ Look, a vast horde of people has arrived from Egypt, and they cover the face of the earth. Come and curse these people for me. Then perhaps I will be able to stand up to them and drive them from the land.’”

He loved to curse others; now you curse him. He never blessed others; now don’t you bless him.Cursing is as natural to him as his clothing, or the water he drinks, or the rich food he eats.Now may his curses return and cling to him like clothing; may they be tied around him like a belt.”May those curses become the Lord’s punishment for my accusers who speak evil of me.

This was the message Balaam delivered:“ Balak summoned me to come from Aram; the king of Moab brought me from the eastern hills.‘ Come,’ he said,‘ curse Jacob for me! Come and announce Israel’s doom.’But how can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I condemn those whom the Lord has not condemned?

I will pay you very well and do whatever you tell me. Just come and curse these people for me!”
