“Menhunu amanehunu bi a ɛbɛba Yakob so.Ɔhaw biara nni hɔ mma Israel! Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn ka wɔn ho.Ɔne wɔn ɔhene!

Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn afiri Misraim;ɔte sɛ nantwie hoɔdenfoɔ ma wɔn.

Nnome biara renka Yakob,abayisɛm biara nni tumi wɔ Israel so.Na wɔbɛka wɔ Yakob ho sɛ,‘Hwɛ anwanwadeɛ a Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama Israel!’

Saa nnipa yi sɔre sɛ gyataburu.Wɔgyina hɔ sɛ gyata hoɔdenfoɔ.Ɔnnye nʼahome kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛwe nʼahaboa awiena wanom ne mogya nyinaa!”

Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Balaam sɛ, “Sɛ worennome wɔn a, ɛnneɛ nhyira wɔn.”

Nanso Balaam buaa no sɛ, “Manka ankyerɛ wo sɛ asɛm a Awurade bɛka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no na mɛka?”
