6 Ruégote pues ven ahora, maldíceme a este pueblo, porque es más fuerte que yo: quizá podré yo herirle, y echarle de la tierra: que yo sé que el que tú bendijeres, será bendito, y el que tú maldijeres será maldito.
And therefore come! please curse! for me the people this for [is too] mighty it for me perhaps I will be able to strike it and I will drive out it from the land for I know [the one] whom you bless [is] blessed and [the one] whom you curse he is cursed.
