2 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.
2 Sapagka't hindi nila sinalubong ang mga anak ni Israel ng tinapay at ng tubig, kundi inupahan si Balaam laban sa kanila, upang sumpain sila:gayon ma'y pinapaging pagpapala ng aming Dios ang sumpa.
