Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)
envió mensajeros a Balán (hijo de Beor) quien vivía en su tierra natal de Petor, cerca del río Éufrates. En su mensaje el rey rogaba a Balán que fuera y les ayudara. ―Una multitud ha llegado de Egipto, cubren toda la superficie de nuestro país; y han acampado justo delante de mí —le decía—. Ven y maldícelos en mi nombre para que pueda echarlos de mi tierra. Sé que cuando tú bendices grandes bendiciones caen sobre ellos, y también sé que a quienes tú maldices les va mal en todo.
World English Bible (WEB)
Please come now therefore curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”
King James Version (KJV)
Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
American Standard Version (ASV)
Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
Come now, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people, for they are greater than I: and then I may be strong enough to overcome them and send them out of the land: for it is clear that good comes to him who has your blessing, but he on whom you put your curse is cursed.

Reina-Valera 1909 (RVR 1909)
Ven pues ahora, te ruego, maldíceme este pueblo, porque es más fuerte que yo: quizá podré yo herirlo, y echarlo de la tierra: que yo sé que el que tú bendijeres, será bendito, y el que tú maldijeres, será maldito.
Sagradas Escrituras 1569 (SE 1569)

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
So please come now and put a curse on this people, because they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land; for I know that those you bless are blessed, and those you curse are cursed.”
