Please come now therefore, and curse this people for me; 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.”

ગુજરાતીગણના ૨૨:૬
કૃપા કરીને આવ અને મારા માટે આ રાષ્ટ્રને શાપ આપ, કેમ કે તેઓ મારા કરતાં વધારે બળવાન છે. કદાચ હું આ લોકોને હુમલો કરીને એવી રીતે મારું કે તેઓને દેશમાંથી હાંકી કાઢી શકું. હું જાણું છું કે જેને તું આશીર્વાદ આપે છે તે આશીર્વાદિત થાય છે અને જેને તું શાપ આપે છે તે શાપિત થાય છે.”
हिन्दीगिनती २२:६
इसलिए आ, और उन लोगों को मेरे निमित्त श्राप दे, क्योंकि वे मुझसे अधिक बलवन्त हैं, तब सम्भव है कि हम उन पर जयवन्त हों, और हम सब इनको अपने देश से मारकर निकाल दें; क्योंकि यह तो मैं जानता हूँ कि जिसको तू आशीर्वाद देता है वह धन्य होता है, और जिसको तू श्राप देता है वह श्रापित होता है।”

In context

4Moab said to the elders of Midian, “Now this multitude will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field.” Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.

5He sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, “Behold, there is a people who came out of Egypt. Behold, they cover the surface of the earth, and they are staying opposite me.

6Please come now therefore, and curse this people for me; 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.”

7The elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand. They came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.

8He said to them, “Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me.” The princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
