NASB: but he received a rebuke for his own transgression, [for] a mute donkey, speaking with a voice of a man, restrained the madness of the prophet.

(GOD'S WORD®) KJV: But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. ASV: but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man's voice and stayed the madness of the prophet. BBE: But his wrongdoing was pointed out to him: an ass, talking with a man's voice, put a stop to the error of the prophet. DBY: but had reproof of his own wickedness the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the folly of the prophet. WEY: But he was rebuked for his transgression: a dumb ass spoke with a human voice and checked the madness of the Prophet. WBS: But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice, forbad the madness of the prophet. WEB: but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man's voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.
