But Balaam replied,“ I will speak only the message that the Lord puts in my mouth.”

他回答说：“耶和华传给我的话，我能不谨慎传说吗？”

他回答说：“耶和华放在我口中的话，我岂能不谨慎地说呢？”

他回答说：“耶和华放在我口中的话，我岂能不谨慎地说呢？”

巴兰说：“耶和华让我说的话，我岂能不说？”

巴兰回答，说：“耶和华传给我的话，我怎能不谨慎说呢？”

他回答說：「耶和華傳給我的話，我能不謹慎傳說嗎？」

他回答說：「耶和華放在我口中的話，我豈能不謹慎地說呢？」

他回答說：「耶和華放在我口中的話，我豈能不謹慎地說呢？」

巴蘭說：「耶和華讓我說的話，我豈能不說？」

巴蘭回答，說：“耶和華傳給我的話，我怎能不謹慎說呢？”

巴蘭回答說：『永恆主放在我口中的話、我能不謹慎說麼？』

對曰、耶和華授我之言、我不慎述之乎、

對曰、耶和華以言示我、我必以告。

對曰、主授於我口之言、我豈能不謹述之乎、

He answered,“ Must I not speak what the Lord puts in my mouth?”

He answered,“ I have to speak only the words the Lord puts in my mouth.”

And he answered and said,“ Must I not take care to speak what the Lord puts in my mouth?”

He answered,“ Shouldn’t I say exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?”

He replied,“ Must I not be careful to speak what the Lord puts in my mouth?”

So he answered and said,“ Must I not take heed to speak what the Lord has put in my mouth?”

And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah putteth in my mouth?

He answered,“ Shouldn’t I say exactly what the Lord puts in my mouth?”

And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?

Balaam replied,“ Must I not be careful to speak what the LORD has put in my mouth?”

He answered and said,“ Must I not take heed to speak that which Yahweh puts in my mouth?”

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.”

They pretend to be kind, but don’t believe them. Their hearts are full of many evils.

Listen, I received a command to bless; God has blessed, and I cannot reverse it!

But Balaam replied to Balak,“ Didn’t I tell you that I can do only what the Lord tells me?”

Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.

‘ Even if Balak were to give me his palace filled with silver and gold, I would be powerless to do anything against the will of the Lord.’ I told you that I could say only what the Lord says!

That night God came to Balaam and told him,“ Since these men have come for you, get up and go with them. But do only what I tell you to do.”

Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.
