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.”

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。

“ 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,“ 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 answered the servants of Balak,“ If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the word of Yahweh my God, to do less or more.

Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said,“ Return to Balak, and say this.”

But Balaam answered Balak,“ Didn’t I tell you, saying,‘ All that Yahweh speaks, that I must do?’”

Micaiah said,“ As Yahweh lives, I will say what my God says.”

I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.

Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.

Micaiah said,“ As Yahweh lives, what Yahweh says to me, that I will speak.”

who frustrates the signs of the liars, and makes diviners mad; who turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolish;

Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

‘ If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond Yahweh’s word, to do either good or bad from my own mind. I will say what Yahweh says’?

“ Stand now with your enchantments and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if you might profit, as if you might prevail.
