¹²Ut laj Balaam quixye re: —¿Ma incßaß ta biß xinye âcue nak lâin tinye li cßaßru xye cue li Kâcuaß?—

¹²Na ka whakautua e ia, ka mea, Kaua ranei ahau e mahara ki te whakapuaki i te kupu e homai e Ihowa ki toku waha?

¹³Ut laj Balac quixye re: —Lâin nintzßâma châcuu nak tatxic chicuix saß jalan chic naßajej. Ut aran tâcuileb. Aran incßaß tâcuileb chixjunileb ut naru tâtzßâma mâusilal saß xbêneb, chan.

¹³¶ Na ka mea a Paraka ki a ia, Tena, haere mai taua ki tetahi wahi ke atu, e kite ai koe i a ratou: ko to ratou pito tau e kite ai; e kore hoki koe e kite i a ratou katoa: a hei reira puaki ai i a koe taku kanga mo ratou.

¹⁸Ut laj Balaam quixye li âtin aßin: —At Balac, ralal laj Zipor, qßue retal li cuâtin. Abi li cßaßru oc cue chixyebal.

¹⁸Na ka ara tana ki pepeha, ka mea, Whakatika, e Paraka, whakarongo mai; kia whai taringa mai ki ahau, e te tama a Tiporo:

¹⁹Li Dios moco cuînk ta. Li Dios incßaß naticßtißic chi moco naxjal xcßaßux. Junelic naxbânu li cßaßru naxye. Ut junelic naxbânu li cßaßru naxyechißi.

¹⁹Ehara te Atua i te tangata e teka ai; i te tama ranei a te tangata e puta ke ai ona whakaaro. Tera ranei ia e korero, a kore ake e mahi? e puaki ranei tana kupu, a kahore e mana?

²⁰Xinixtakla chirosobtesinquileb li tenamit. Xrosobtesiheb laj Israel ut lâin incßaß naru tinjal li cßaßru quixye li Dios.

²⁰Nana, kua riro mai i ahau te kupu manaaki; kua oti hoki i a ia te kupu manaaki; a e kore e taea e ahau te whakaputa ke.

²¹Kahore i tirohia e ia he kino i a Hakopa, kahore ano hoki i kitea he tutu i a Iharaira: kei a ia a Ihowa, tona Atua, kei roto hoki i a ratou te hamama a te kingi.

²²Li Dios qui-isin chak reheb saß li naßajej Egipto. Kßaxal nabaleb ut cauheb rib joß li bôyx li cuan saß qßuicheß.
