耶和华叫驴开口，对巴兰说，我向你行了什么，你竟打我这三次呢，
And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
巴兰对驴说，因为你戏弄我，我恨不能手中有刀，把你杀了。
And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
耶和华的使者对他说，你为何这三次打你的驴呢，我出来敌挡你，因你所行的，在我面前偏僻。
And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
驴看见我就三次从我面前偏过去。驴若没有偏过去，我早把你杀了，留它存活。
And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
巴兰对耶和华的使者说，我有罪了。我不知道你站在路上阻挡我。你若不喜欢我去，我就转回。
And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.
巴勒听见巴兰来了，就往摩押京城去迎接他。这城是在边界上，在亚嫩河旁。
And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.
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。
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.
巴兰和巴勒同行，来到基列胡琐。
And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
巴勒宰了（原文作献）牛羊，送给巴兰和陪伴的使臣。
And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
你弟兄若离你远，或是你不认识他，就要牵到你家去，留在你那里，等你弟兄来寻梢就还给他。
And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
