UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Do I now have any power to say anything?

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Bilˊām to/towards Balak see/lo/see! come to,you now ?,to_be_able can say anything the,word which/who puts ʼₑlhīmv in/on/at/with,mouth,my DOM=him/it speak )

Balaam uses this rhetorical question to tell Balak that he will not be able to do everything that Balak asks him to do. This can be translated as a statement. Alternate translation: “But I have no power to say anything I want”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) the words that God puts into my mouth

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Bilˊām to/towards Balak see/lo/see! come to,you now ?,to_be_able can say anything the,word which/who puts ʼₑlhīmv in/on/at/with,mouth,my DOM=him/it speak )

The message is spoken of as if it is something that God put into his mouth. Alternate translation: “the message that God wants me to say”
