And Bil'am said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

8 Kako bih kleo onoga koga ne kune Bog? ili kako bih ružio onoga koga Gospod ne ruži?
How shall I denounce, whom God hath not denounced? and how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?
9 Jer svrh stijena vidim ga, i s humova gledam ga. Gle, ovaj æe narod nastavati sam, i s drugim narodima neæe se pomiješati.
For from the top of rocks I see him, and from hills I behold him: lo, it is a people that shall dwell alone, and among the nations it shall not be reckoned.
10 Ko æe izbrojiti prah Jakovljev i broj od èetvrti Izrailja? Da bih ja umro smræu pravednièkom, i kraj moj da bi bio kao njihov!
Who can count the dust of Jacob, and number the fourth part of Israel? May my soul die the death of the righteous, and may my last end be like his!

And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that only which the Lord may put in my mouth?
13 Tada mu reèe Valak: hodi sa mnom na drugo mjesto, odakle æeš ga vidjeti; samo mu kraj vidiš, a svega ga ne vidiš; prokuni mi ga odande.
And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from where thou canst see them; nevertheless a portion of them only wilt thou see, but the whole of them thou wilt not see: and denounce them for me from there.

And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; bend hither thy ear unto me, son of Zippor!
19 Bog nije èovjek da laže, ni sin èovjeèji da se pokaje. Što kaže neæe li uèiniti, i što reèe neæe li izvršiti?
God is not a man, that he should lie; nor a son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? and hath he spoken, and shall he not fulfill it?
20 Gle, primih da blagoslovim; jer je on blagoslovio, a ja neæu poreæi.
Behold, to bless I have received [the word]; and he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
21 Ne gleda na bezakonje u Jakovu ni na nevaljalstvo u Izrailju; Gospod je njegov s njim, i graja u njemu kao car kad nadvlada.

Behold, it is a people, that shall rise up as a lioness, and as a lion shall it raise itself: it will not lie down until it have eaten the prey, and have drunk the blood of the slain.

But Bil'am answered and said unto Balak, Have I not spoken unto thee, saying, all that the Lord will speak, that must I do.
27 A Valak reèe Valamu: hodi, odvešæu te na drugo mjesto; da ako Bogu bude volja da mi ga odande prokuneš.
And Balak said unto Bil'am, Come, I pray thee, I will take thee unto another place, peradventure it may be pleasing in the eyes of God that thou mayest denounce them for me from there.

And Balak did as Bil'am had said, and he offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
