Then said Balaam unto Balak: Build me here seven altars, —and prepare me here, seven bullocks and seven rams.

And he answered and said, —Was it not to be so that whatsoever Yahweh should put into my mouth, the same, should I take heed to speak?

Then took he up his parable and said, —Rise, Balak, and hear, Give ear unto me son of Zippor!

Surely, there is no enchantment against Jacob, Nor divination against Israel, —Now, shall it be said—Of Jacob and of Israel, What hath GOD wrought!

25 Tada reèe Valak Valamu: nemoj ga ni kleti ni blagosiljati.
Then said Balak unto Balaam, Thou shalt neither revile, him, —nor bless him.
26 A Valam odgovori Valaku: nijesam li ti kazao da æu èiniti što mi god Gospod kaže?
And Balaam responded, and said unto Balak, —Spake I not unto thee, saying, All that Yahweh shall 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 Balaam, Come, I pray thee! let me take thee unto another place, —peradventure, it may be right in the eyes of God, that thou revile me him. from thence.

And Balak did as Balaam said, —and caused to ascend a bullock and a ram on each altar.
