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.

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.

τωρα λοιπον ελθε, σε παρακαλω, καταρασθητι μοι τον λαον τουτον, διοτι ειναι δυνατωτερος μου· ισως υπερισχυσω, να παταξωμεν αυτους και να εκδιωξω αυτους εκ της γης· επειδη εξευρω, οτι οντινα ευλογησης ειναι ευλογημενος, και οντινα καταρασθης ειναι κατηραμενος.

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.
