Balaam said to him,“ Look, I have come to you, but can I say anything I want? I must speak only the message God puts in my mouth.”

巴兰说：“我已经到你这里来了！现在我岂能擅自说什么呢？神将什么话传给我，我就说什么。”

巴兰对巴勒说：“看哪，我已经到你这里来了！现在我岂能擅自说什么呢？上帝将什么话放在我口中，我就说什么。”

巴兰对巴勒说：“看哪，我已经到你这里来了！现在我岂能擅自说什么呢？神将什么话放在我口中，我就说什么。”

巴兰说：“现在我已经来了，但我不能随便发言，只能按上帝的指示说话。”

巴兰对巴勒说：“看哪，我已经来到你这里，现在我怎能说什么呢？神把什么话放在我口里，我就说什么。”

巴蘭說：「我已經到你這裏來了！現在我豈能擅自說甚麼呢？神將甚麼話傳給我，我就說甚麼。」

巴蘭對巴勒說：「看哪，我已經到你這裏來了！現在我豈能擅自說甚麼呢？上帝將甚麼話放在我口中，我就說甚麼。」

巴蘭對巴勒說：「看哪，我已經到你這裏來了！現在我豈能擅自說甚麼呢？神將甚麼話放在我口中，我就說甚麼。」

巴蘭說：「現在我已經來了，但我不能隨便發言，只能按上帝的指示說話。」

巴蘭對巴勒說：“看哪，我已經來到你這裡，現在我怎能說甚麼呢？神把甚麼話放在我口裡，我就說甚麼。”

巴蘭對巴勒說：『看哪，我已經到你這裏來了；現在我哪能說甚麼呢？上帝將甚麼話放在我口中，我就說甚麼罷了。』

巴蘭曰、我今已至、我豈能自擅而言、上帝授我之言、我必言之、

巴蘭曰、我今已至、我豈能自擅而言、上帝使我言、我必言之。

巴蘭謂巴勒曰、我今雖至、我豈能自擅而言、天主所諭我之言、我方可言、

“ Well, I have come to you now,” Balaam replied.“ But I can’t say whatever I please. I must speak only what God puts in my mouth.”

“ Well, I’ve come to you now,” Balaam replied.“ But I can’t say whatever I please. I can only speak the words God puts in my mouth.”

Balaam said to Balak,“ Behold, I have come to you! Have I now any power of my own to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that must I speak.”

Balaam replied,“ Look, now I have come, but I have no power to say whatever I want. I will speak only the message that God puts in my mouth.”

So Balaam said to Balak,“ Behold, I have come to you now! Am I really able to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that only shall I speak.”

And Balaam said to Balak,“ Look, I have come to you! Now, have I any power at all to say anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I must speak.”

And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to speak anything? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.

Balaam said to him,“ Look, I have come to you, but can I say anything I want? I must speak only the message God puts in my mouth.”

And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.

Balaam said to Balak,“ Look, I have come to you. Now, am I able to speak just anything? I must speak only the word that God puts in my mouth.”

Balaam said to Balak,“ Behold, I have come to you. Have I now any power at all to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.”

But Balaam responded to the servants of Balak,“ If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go against the command of the LORD my God to do anything small or great.

The LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth. Then he said,“ Return to Balak and say what I tell you.”

But Balaam answered him,“ Didn’t I tell you: Whatever the LORD says, I must do?”

But Micaiah said,“ As the LORD lives, I will say whatever my God says.”

I declare the end from the beginning, and from long ago what is not yet done, saying: my plan will take place, and I will do all my will.

The LORD frustrates the counsel of the nations; he thwarts the plans of the peoples.

Many plans are in a person’s heart, but the LORD’s decree will prevail.

But Micaiah said,“ As the LORD lives, I will say whatever the LORD says to me.”

who destroys the omens of the false prophets and makes fools of diviners; who confounds the wise and makes their knowledge foolishness;

Even human wrath will praise you; you will clothe yourself with the wrath that remains.

If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go against the LORD’s command, to do anything good or bad of my own will? I will say whatever the LORD says.

So take your stand with your spells and your many sorceries, which you have wearied yourself with from your youth. Perhaps you will be able to succeed; perhaps you will inspire terror!
