‘Bwera, udzanditembererere Yakobo.

Bwera, udzaitanire tsoka pa Isiraeli.’+

 8 Ndingathe bwanji kutemberera anthu amene Mulungu sanawatemberere?

Ndipo ndingathe bwanji kuitanira tsoka anthu amene Yehova sanawaitanire tsoka?+

10 Kenako Balaki anapsera mtima Balamu. Ndiyeno Balaki anawomba mʼmanja mokwiya nʼkuuza Balamu kuti: “Ndinakuitana kuti udzatemberere adani anga,+ koma iwe wawadalitsa kwambiri maulendo atatu onsewa.

14 Ngakhale zili choncho, ndakupeza ndi milandu ingapo. Iwe kumeneko uli ndi anthu amene akupitiriza kutsatira chiphunzitso cha Balamu,+ amene anaphunzitsa Balaki+ kuti aikire ana a Isiraeli chopunthwitsa kuti adye zoperekedwa nsembe kwa mafano ndi kuchita chiwerewere.*+
