23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
23 Na yule punda akamwona malaika wa Bwana amesimama njiani, na upanga wake mkononi mwake amekwisha kuufuta; punda akageuka upande ili kuiacha njia, akaingia shambani. Balaamu akampiga punda ili kumrejeza njiani.
