but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

他却为自己的过犯受了责备；那不能说话的驴以人言拦阻先知的狂妄。

他却为自己的过犯受了责备，而那不能说话的驴以人的声音阻止了先知的狂妄。

他却为自己的过犯受了责备，而那不能说话的驴以人的声音阻止了先知的狂妄。

因自己的罪而受了责备。不能说话的驴竟然像人一样说起话来，制止了他狂妄的行为。

他曾经因着自己的过犯受了责备：不能说话的驴，竟用人的声音说出话来，制止了这先知的狂妄。

却为自己的过犯受了责备：一头不能说话的驴，竟用人的声音说出话来，拦阻了这先知的狂妄。

他卻為自己的過犯受了責備；那不能說話的驢以人言攔阻先知的狂妄。

他卻為自己的過犯受了責備，而那不能說話的驢以人的聲音阻止了先知的狂妄。

他卻為自己的過犯受了責備，而那不能說話的驢以人的聲音阻止了先知的狂妄。

因自己的罪而受了責備。不能說話的驢竟然像人一樣說起話來，制止了他狂妄的行為。

他曾經因著自己的過犯受了責備：不能說話的驢，竟用人的聲音說出話來，制止了這先知的狂妄。

卻因自己的違法受了斥責。不能出聲說話的驢竟用人的聲音發出言論來，攔阻那神言人的瘋狂！

卻為自己的過犯受了責備：一頭不能說話的驢，竟用人的聲音說出話來，攔阻了這先知的狂妄。

為己過愆見責、瘖驢作人聲、禁先知之狂妄、

為惡見責、有驢作人言、禁先知巴蘭之狂妄、

為其惡見責、不能言之驢作人聲、而止先知之狂、

因過見懲、曾有驢作人聲斥責先知之狂妄焉。

But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey— an animal without speech— who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

But a donkey corrected him for the wrong he did. Animals don’t speak. But the donkey spoke with a human voice. It tried to stop the prophet from doing a very dumb thing.

but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

But Balaam was stopped from his mad course when his donkey rebuked him with a human voice.

but received a rebuke for his lawlessness: A speechless donkey spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

but he received a rebuke for his own offense, for a mute donkey, speaking with a human voice, restrained the insanity of the prophet.

but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet.

but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man’s voice and stayed the madness of the prophet.

but received a rebuke for his transgression: A donkey that could not talk spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s irrationality.

But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

yet was rebuked for his own transgression( a dumb donkey, speaking with a human voice, restrained the prophet’s madness).

Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.God’s anger burned because he went; and Yahweh’s angel placed himself in the way as an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.The donkey saw Yahweh’s angel standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the donkey turned out of the path, and went into the field. Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her into the path.Then Yahweh’s angel stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.The donkey saw Yahweh’s angel, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall. He struck her again.Yahweh’s angel went further, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.The donkey saw Yahweh’s angel, and she lay down under Balaam. Balaam’s anger burned, and he struck the donkey with his staff.Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam,“ What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”Balaam said to the donkey,“ Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you.”The donkey said to Balaam,“ Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long until today? Was I ever in the habit of doing so to you?” He said,“ No.”Then Yahweh opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw Yahweh’s angel standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.Yahweh’s angel said to him,“ Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way is perverse before me.The donkey saw me, and turned away before me these three times. Unless she had turned away from me, surely now I would have killed you, and saved her alive.”

Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice,“ Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”But he said,“ I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yes also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

I turned around, and my heart sought to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity, and that foolishness is madness.

If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, and the man who is inspired to be insane, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.
