  • Newari: “Balaam said to them, "Stay here tonight, then just as the LORD speaks to me, that word I will tell you." Since it was like that, the emissaries of the Moabite king took shelter with him.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And Balaam said to them, ‘You (plur.) just sleep here tonight, and I will-tell you (plur.) tomorrow if what the LORD will-say to me.’ So the leaders/[lit. heads] of Moab slept there.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Balaam said, ‘Stay here tonight. Tomorrow morning I will tell you whatever Yahweh tells me that I should say to you.’
    So the leaders from Moab stayed there that night.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
