አህያይቱም የእግዚአብሔርን መልአክ በመንገድ ላይ ቆሞ የተመዘዘም ሰይፍ በእጁ ይዞ አየች፤ ከመንገዱም ፈቀቅ ብላ ወደ እርሻው ውስጥ ገባች፤ በለዓምም ወደ መንገድ ይመልሳት ዘንድ አህያይቱን መታት።
When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way with his drawn sword in his hand, the donkey turned off from the way and went into the field; but Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back into the way.
