절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Balaam's First Message Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars here, then bring seven bulls and seven rams.”	And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
2	After Balak had done this, they sacrificed a bull and a ram on each altar.	And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
3	Then Balaam said, “Wait here beside your offerings, and I'll go somewhere to be alone. Maybe the Lord will appear to me. If he does, I will tell you everything he says.” And he left.	And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the Lord will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
4	When God appeared to him, Balaam said, “I have built seven altars and have sacrificed a bull and a ram on each one.”	And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
5	The Lord gave Balaam a message, then sent him back to tell Balak.	And the Lord put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
6	When Balaam returned, he found Balak and his officials standing beside the offerings.	And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
7	Balaam said: “King Balak of Moab brought me from the hills of Syria to curse Israel and announce its doom.	And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
8	But I can't go against God! He did not curse or condemn Israel. *	How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?
9	“From the mountain peaks, I look down and see Israel, the obedient people of God.	For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10	They are living alone in peace. And though they are many, they don't bother the other nations. “I hope to obey God for as long as I live and to die in such peace.”	Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
11	Balak said, “What are you doing? I asked you to come and place a curse on my enemies. But you have blessed them instead!”	And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
12	Balaam answered, “I can say only what the Lord tells me.”	And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the Lord hath put in my mouth?
13	Balaam's Second Message Balak said to Balaam, “Let's go somewhere else. Maybe if you see a smaller part of the Israelites, you will be able to curse them for me.”	And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
14	So he took Balaam to a field on top of Mount Pisgah where lookouts were stationed. Then he built seven altars there and sacrificed a bull and a ram on each one.	And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
15	“Wait here beside your offerings,” Balaam said. “The Lord will appear to me over there.”	And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the Lord yonder.
16	The Lord appeared to Balaam and gave him another message, then he told him to go and tell Balak.	And the Lord met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
17	Balaam went back and saw him and his officials standing beside the offerings. Balak asked, “What did the Lord say?”	And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the Lord spoken?
18	Balaam answered: “Pay close attention to my words—	And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
19	God is no mere human! He doesn't tell lies or change his mind. God always keeps his promises.	God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
20	“My command from God was to bless these people, and there's nothing I can do to change what he has done.	Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
21	Israel's king is the Lord God. He lives there with them and intends them no harm.	He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
22	With the strength of a wild ox, God led Israel out of Egypt.	God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
23	No magic charms can work against them— just look what God has done for his people.	Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
24	They are like angry lions ready to attack; and they won't rest until their victim is gobbled up.”	Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
25	Balak shouted, “If you're not going to curse Israel, then at least don't bless them.”	And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
26	“I've already told you,” Balaam answered. “I will say only what the Lord tells me.”	But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speaketh, that I must do?
27	Balaam's Third Message Balak said to Balaam, “Come on, let's try another place. Maybe God will let you curse Israel from there.”	And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.
28	So he took Balaam to Mount Peor overlooking the desert north of the Dead Sea.	And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
29	Balaam said, “Build seven altars here, then bring me seven bulls and seven rams.”	And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
30	After Balak had done what Balaam asked, he sacrificed a bull and a ram on each altar.	And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
