절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Israel moved from there to the hills of Moab, where they camped across the Jordan River from the town of Jericho.	And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
2	—	And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
3	King Balak of Moab Hires Balaam To Curse Israel When King Balak of Moab and his people heard how many Israelites there were and what they had done to the Amorites, he and the Moabites were terrified and panicked.	And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
4	They said to the Midianite leaders, “That huge mob of Israelites will wipe out everything in sight, like a bull eating grass in a field.” So King Balak	And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
5	sent a message to Balaam son of Beor who lived among his relatives in the town of Pethor near the Euphrates River. It said: I need your help. A large group of people has come here from Egypt and settled near my territory.	He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:
6	They are too powerful for us to defeat, so would you come and place a curse on them? Maybe then we can run them off. I know that anyone you bless will be successful, but anyone you curse will fail.	Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
7	The leaders of Moab and Midian left and took along money to pay Balaam. When they got to his house, they gave him Balak's message.	And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
8	“Spend the night here,” Balaam replied, “and tomorrow I will tell you the Lord's answer.” So the officials stayed at his house.	And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the Lord shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
9	During the night, God asked Balaam, “Who are these people at your house?”	And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
10	“They are messengers from King Balak of Moab,” Balaam answered. “He sent them	And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
11	to ask me to go to Moab and put a curse on the people who have come there from Egypt. They have settled everywhere around him, and he wants to run them off.”	Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
12	But God replied, “Don't go with Balak's messengers. I have blessed those people who have come from Egypt, so don't curse them.”	And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
13	The next morning, Balaam said to Balak's officials, “Go on back home. The Lord says I cannot go with you.”	And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the Lord refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
14	The officials left and told Balak that Balaam refused to come.	And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
15	Then Balak sent a larger group of officials, who were even more important than the first ones.	And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
16	They went to Balaam and told him that Balak had said, “Balaam, if you come to Moab,	And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:
17	I'll pay you very well and do whatever you ask. Just come and place a curse on these people.”	For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
18	Balaam answered, “Even if Balak offered me a palace full of silver or gold, I wouldn't do anything to disobey the Lord my God.	And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to do less or more.
19	You are welcome to spend the night here, just as the others did. I will find out if the Lord has something else to say about this.”	Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the Lord will say unto me more.
20	That night, God said, “Balaam, I'll let you go to Moab with Balak's messengers, but do only what I say.”	And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
21	So Balaam got up the next morning and saddled his donkey, then left with the Moabite officials.	And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
22	Balaam and His Donkey Meet an Angel Balaam was riding his donkey to Moab, and two of his servants were with him. But God was angry that Balaam had gone, so one of the Lord's angels stood in the road to stop him.	And God’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the Lord stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.
23	When Balaam's donkey saw the angel standing there with a sword, it walked off the road and into an open field. Balaam had to beat the donkey to get it back on the road.	And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
24	Then the angel stood between two vineyards, in a narrow path with a stone wall on each side.	But the angel of the Lord stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
25	When the donkey saw the angel, it walked so close to one of the walls that Balaam's foot scraped against the wall. Balaam beat the donkey again.	And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
26	The angel moved once more and stood in a spot so narrow that there was no room for the donkey to go around.	And the angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27	So it just lay down. Balaam lost his temper, then picked up a stick and whacked the donkey.	And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
28	When that happened, the Lord told the donkey to speak, and it asked Balaam, “What have I done that made you beat me three times?”	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?
29	“You made me look stupid!” Balaam answered. “If I had a sword, I'd kill you here and now!”	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.
30	“But you're my owner,” answered the donkey, “and you've ridden me many times. Have I ever done anything like this before?” “No,” Balaam admitted.	And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
31	Just then, the Lord let Balaam see the angel standing in the road, holding a sword, and Balaam bowed down.	Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
32	The angel said, “You had no right to treat your donkey like that! I was the one who blocked your way, because I don't think you should go to Moab.	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:
33	If your donkey had not seen me and stopped those three times, I would have killed you and let the donkey live.”	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.
34	Balaam replied, “I was wrong. I didn't know you were trying to stop me. If you don't think I should go, I'll return home at once.”	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.
35	“It's all right for you to go,” the Lord's angel answered. “But you must say only what I tell you.” So Balaam went on with Balak's officials.	And the angel of the Lord said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
36	King Balak Meets Balaam When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went to meet him at the town of Ir on the Arnon River, which is the northern border of Moab.	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.
37	Balak asked, “Why didn't you come when I invited you the first time? Did you think I wasn't going to pay you?”	And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?
38	“I'm here now,” Balaam answered. “But I will say only what God tells me to say.”	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.
39	They left and went to the town of Kiriath-Huzoth,	And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjath–huzoth.
40	where Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep and gave some of the meat to Balaam and the officials who were with him.	And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
41	The next morning, Balak took Balaam to the town of Bamoth-Baal. From there, Balaam could see some of the Israelites.	And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.
