¿AWUʼUYMAJ wa u tʼaan utúul burro? Maʼ, kech waleʼ. Le baʼalcheʼoboʼ maʼatech u tʼaanoʼob. Baʼaleʼ, le Bibliaoʼ kiaʼalikeʼ, utúul x-burraeʼ tʼaanaji. Koʼox ilik bix úuchik.

Le israelitaʼoboʼ taʼaytak u yookloʼob tu luʼumil Canaán. Balac u reyil Moabeʼ, sajaktiʼob. Le oʼolaleʼ tu túuxtaj tʼambil utúul máak jach yaan u naʼat, u kʼaabaʼeʼ Balaam, utiaʼal ka taalak u loolobtʼant le israelitaʼoboʼ. Tiaʼalaj u tsʼáaik yaʼab taakʼin tiʼ; Balaam túuneʼ, tu natʼaj u x-burraeʼ, ka bin u yil Balac.

Jéeobaeʼ maʼ u kʼáat ka loolobtʼantaʼak u kaajal tumen Balaamiʼ. Le oʼolaleʼ, tu túuxtaj utúul ángel yéetel u táatsʼ máaskab waʼatal teʼ bej utiaʼal ka u jeʼels Balaamoʼ. Balaameʼ maʼ tu páajtal u yilik le ángeloʼ, baʼaleʼ u x-burraeʼ chíikaʼan yilik. Le x-burraoʼ joʼopʼ u yilik u náachkuntkuba tiʼe ángeloʼ, u tsʼoʼokeʼ ka chilaj teʼ yóoʼ bejoʼ. Balaameʼ jach kʼuuxchajeʼ, ka joʼopʼ u jaʼajatsʼik u x-burra yéetel upʼéel cheʼ.

Jéeoba túuneʼ tu beetaj u yuʼubaʼal u tʼaan le x-burra tumen Balaamoʼ. Ka kʼáataʼabtiʼ tumen le x-burraoʼ: ¿Baʼax tsʼoʼok in beetiktech utiaʼal ka sen jaʼajatsʼen?

Balaameʼ tu núukaj: Tsʼoʼok a taasken j-maʼ naʼatil. ¡Wa yanten upʼéel táatsʼ máaskabeʼ, tsʼoʼok kaʼach in kíimskecheʼ!

Le x-burraoʼ tu kʼáatajtiʼ: ¿In yáax beetmaj wa tech beyaʼ?

Balaameʼ tu núukaj: Maʼatech.

Ka tsʼoʼokeʼ, Jéeobaeʼ tu chaʼaj u yilik Balaam le ángel waʼalakbal tu chúumuk le bej yéetel u táatsʼ máaskaboʼ. Le ángeloʼ tiaʼalajtiʼ: ¿Baʼaxten ta jaʼajatsʼaj a x-burraoʼ? Tsʼoʼok in taal in kʼaltech le bejaʼ, tumen maʼ maʼalob ka xiʼikech a loolobtʼant Israeliʼ. Wa maʼ úuchik u náachkuntkech a x-burraeʼ, tsʼoʼok kaʼach in kíimskecheʼ, baʼaleʼ tiʼ a x-burraeʼ mix baʼal kaʼach ken in beettiʼ.

Balaam túuneʼ tiaʼalaj: Tsʼoʼok in kʼebantal. Maʼ in wojel wa tiaʼanech kaʼach teʼ bejaʼ. Le ángel túunoʼ tu chaʼaj u bin Balaam, baʼaleʼ Balaameʼ tu chʼaʼajoʼoltaj u bin u yil Balac. Ka tu kaʼa tsʼáajuba u loolobtʼant Israeleʼ, baʼaleʼ Jéeobaeʼ óoxtéen tu beetaj u kiʼikiʼtʼantik Israel.
