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.”

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.”

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.”

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,“ 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.”

Balaam replied to the servants of Balak,“ Even if Balak would give me his palace full of silver and gold, I could not transgress the commandment of the LORD my God to do less or more.

Then the LORD met Balaam and put a message in his mouth and said,“ Return to Balak, and speak what I tell you.”

But Balaam replied to Balak,“ Did I not tell you,‘ All that the LORD speaks, I must do’?”

But Micaiah said,“ As certainly as the LORD lives, I will say what my God tells me to say!”

who announces the end from the beginning and reveals beforehand what has not yet occurred, who says,‘ My plan will be realized, I will accomplish what I desire,’

The LORD frustrates the decisions of the nations; he nullifies the plans of the peoples.

There are many plans in a person’s mind, but it is the counsel of the LORD which will stand.

But Micaiah said,“ As certainly as the LORD lives, I will say what the LORD tells me to say.”

who frustrates the omens of the empty talkers and humiliates the omen readers, who overturns the counsel of the wise men and makes their advice seem foolish,

Certainly your angry judgment upon men will bring you praise; you reveal your anger in full measure.

‘ If Balak would give me his palace full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD to do either good or evil of my own will, but whatever the LORD tells me I must speak’?

Persist in trusting your amulets and your many incantations, which you have faithfully recited since your youth! Maybe you will be successful– maybe you will scare away disaster.
