⁸Ila ndompanjila ndaze munhu yawele Mkulu Nguluwi hambe yampanjile? Ndowalonga ndaze vibi wanhu wawele Mkulu Nguluwi hambe yawalonje vibi?

⁹Kulawa kuli vinhembenhembe vya mitalawe nandiwona, kulawa mchanya mwa vidunda ndanguwasunjilila. Awo wanhu walingikala waliyeka, hawalingilola kota wanhu wa isi zinji.

¹⁰Yalihi yoweza kuwawaza wanhu wa Yakobo kwa ndaze navyowawele wenji lukami, ama yoweza kuwaza honhu ha kane ha Waisilaeli? Hondibagama ndiwe kota munhu yatanganiche, kota Waisilaeli.”

¹¹Aho Balaki nakamlonjela Balaamu, “Nakunditila choni? Ndikugala hano leka uwapanjile wang'honyo wa heni, ila hegwe kwanguwatambichiza!”

¹²Balaamu nakamlonjela Balaki, “Ndanguganigwa kulonga ulonzi wa Mkulu Nguluwi hela.”
