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.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 22 of Numbers. Balak, king of Moab, fears Israel and sends messengers to hire Balaam to curse the people. Balaam consults God and initially receives a prohibition against going with them. The narrative thus introduces the central conflict of this section: Balak seeks to use Balaam’s religious authority against Israel, while God determines in advance the limits of what can be spoken concerning his people.

Español · RVR1909 Ven pues ahora, te ruego, maldíceme este pueblo, porque es más fuerte que yo: quizá podré yo herirlo, y echarlo de la tierra: que yo sé que el que tú bendijeres, será bendito, y el que tú maldijeres, será maldito.
Español · NTBT Ahora ven, por favor, y maldíceme a este pueblo, porque es más fuerte que yo. Quizá pueda lograr que lo derrotemos y expulsarlo de la tierra, porque sé que aquel a quien tú bendices queda bendecido, y aquel a quien maldices queda maldecido».
Français · LSG Viens, je te prie, maudis-moi ce peuple, car il est plus puissant que moi; peut-être ainsi pourrai-je le battre et le chasserai-je du pays, car je sais que celui que tu bénis est béni, et que celui que tu maudis est maudit.
Italiano · DIO1885 ora dunque vieni, ti prego, e maledicimi questo popolo; perciocchè egli è troppo potente per me; forse potrò fare in maniera che noi lo sconfiggeremo, e che io lo scaccerò dal paese; perciocchè io so che chi tu benedici è benedetto, e maledetto chi tu maledici.
Português · ARC Vem, pois, agora, rogo-te, amaldiçoa-me este povo, pois mais poderoso é do que eu; talvez o poderei ferir e lançar fora da terra; porque eu sei que, a quem tu abençoares será abençoado, e a quem tu amaldiçoares será amaldiçoado.
中文 · RCUV 現在請你來，為我詛咒這百姓，因為他們比我強大，或許我能打敗他們，把他們趕出此地。因為我知道，你為誰祝福，誰就得福；你詛咒誰，誰就受詛咒。」
