1 Balaame a re ho Balake: Nkgahele mona dialetare tse supileng, mme o ntokisetse teng dipoho tsa dikgomo tse supileng, le dipheleu tse supileng.
2 Balake a etsa seo Balaame a se boletseng; Balake le Balaame ba hlaba poho le pheleu aletareng e nngwe le e nngwe.
3 Balaame a re ho Balake: Ema mona pela setjheso sa hao, mme ke tla ya thokonyana; mohlomong Jehova a ka tshoha a nkgahlanyetsa, mme ke tla o bolella seo a tla ntshenolela sona. Mme a ya phenyoleng.
4 Modimo wa tla ho Balaame; mme Balaame a re ho wona: Ke lokisitse dialetare tse supileng, mme ke hlabile poho le pheleu aletareng e nngwe le e nngwe.
5 Jehova a kenya mantswe molomong wa Balaame, a re ho yena: Kgutlela ho Balake, mme o mmolelle hore hoitseng.
6 Yaba o kgutlela ho yena; a fihlela Balake a eme pela setjheso sa hae, a ena le matona wohle a Moabe.
7 Yaba Balaame o porofeta, a re: Balake o ntheositse Arame; morena wa Moabe o ntheositse dithabeng tsa botjhabela, ka ho re: Tloo, o nthohakele Jakobo! Tloo, o halefele Iseraele!
