Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

Die Ammoniter und Moabiter sollen nicht in die Gemeinde des HERRN kommen, auch nach dem zehnten Glied; sondern sie sollen nimmermehr hineinkommen,
Por cuanto no os salieron a recibir con pan y agua al camino, cuando salisteis de Egipto; y porque alquiló contra ti a Balaam hijo de Beor de Pethor de Mesopotamia de Siria, para que te maldijese.
porque no salieron a recibirlos con pan y agua en el camino cuando salieron de Egipto, y porque contrató contra ti a Balaam hijo de Beor, de Petor, en Aram-naharaim, para maldecirte.
parce qu'ils ne sont pas venus au-devant de vous avec du pain et de l'eau, sur le chemin, lors de votre sortie d'Egypte, et parce qu'ils ont fait venir contre toi à prix d'argent Balaam, fils de Beor, de Pethor en Mésopotamie, pour qu'il te maudisse.
Perciocchè non vennero incontro a voi con pane e con acqua, nel cammino, quando usciste di Egitto; e perchè essi condussero per prezzo contro a voi Balaam, figliuolo di Beor, di Petor di Mesopotamia, per maledirvi.
Porquanto não saíram com pão e água, a receber-vos no caminho, quando saíeis do Egito; e porquanto alugaram contra ti a Balaão, filho de Beor, de Petor, de Mesopotâmia, para te amaldiçoar.
因為你們出 埃及 的時候,他們沒有拿食物和水在路上迎接你們,並且雇了 美索不達米亞 的 毗奪 人, 比珥 的兒子 巴蘭 來詛咒你。
