اَلْعَدَد 23
| فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِبَالَاقَ: «ٱبْنِ لِي هَهُنَا سَبْعَةَ مَذَابِحَ وَهَيِّئْ لِي هَهُنَا سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ». | ١ 1 |
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
| فَفَعَلَ بَالَاقُ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ بَلْعَامُ. وَأَصْعَدَ بَالَاقُ وَبَلْعَامُ ثَوْرًا وَكَبْشًا عَلَى كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ. | ٢ 2 |
And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
| فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِبَالَاقَ: «قِفْ عِنْدَ مُحْرَقَتِكَ، فَأَنْطَلِقَ أَنَا لَعَلَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُوافِي لِلِقَائِي، فَمَهْمَا أَرَانِي أُخْبِرْكَ بِهِ». ثُمَّ ٱنْطَلَقَ إِلَى رَابِيَةٍ. | ٣ 3 |
And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go: possibly the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he shows me I will tell you. And he went to an high place.
| فَوَافَى ٱللهُ بَلْعَامَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «قَدْ رَتَّبْتُ سَبْعَةَ مَذَابِحَ وَأَصْعَدْتُ ثَوْرًا وَكَبْشًا عَلَى كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ». | ٤ 4 |
And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
| فَوَضَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَلَامًا فِي فَمِ بَلْعَامَ وَقَالَ: «ٱرْجِعْ إِلَى بَالَاقَ وَتَكَلَّمْ هَكَذَا». | ٥ 5 |
And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus you shall speak.
| فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ وَإِذَا هُوَ وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ مُحْرَقَتِهِ هُوَ، وَجَمِيعُ رُؤَسَاءِ مُوآبَ. | ٦ 6 |
And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
| فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «مِنْ أَرَامَ أَتَى بِي بَالَاقُ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ، مِنْ جِبَالِ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ: تَعَالَ ٱلْعَنْ لِي يَعْقُوبَ، وَهَلُمَّ ٱشْتِمْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ 7 |
And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
| كَيْفَ أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَمْ يَلْعَنْهُ ٱللهُ؟ وَكَيْفَ أَشْتِمُ مَنْ لَمْ يَشْتِمْهُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ | ٨ 8 |
How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD has not defied?
| إِنِّي مِنْ رَأْسِ ٱلصُّخُورِ أَرَاهُ، وَمِنَ ٱلْآكَامِ أُبْصِرُهُ. هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ يَسْكُنُ وَحْدَهُ، وَبَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ لَا يُحْسَبُ. | ٩ 9 |
For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
| مَنْ أَحْصَى تُرَابَ يَعْقُوبَ وَرُبْعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِعَدَدٍ؟ لِتَمُتْ نَفْسِي مَوْتَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ، وَلْتَكُنْ آخِرَتِي كَآخِرَتِهِمْ». | ١٠ 10 |
Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
| فَقَالَ بَالَاقُ لِبَلْعَامَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِي؟ لِتَشْتِمَ أَعْدَائِي أَخَذْتُكَ، وَهُوَذَا أَنْتَ قَدْ بَارَكْتَهُمْ». | ١١ 11 |
And Balak said unto Balaam, What have you done unto me? I took you to curse mine enemies, and, behold, you have blessed them altogether.
| فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ: «أَمَا ٱلَّذِي يَضَعُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي فَمِي أَحْتَرِصُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ؟». | ١٢ 12 |
And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD has put in my mouth?
| فَقَالَ لَهُ بَالَاقُ: «هَلُمَّ مَعِي إِلَى مَكَانٍ آخَرَ تَرَاهُ مِنْهُ. إِنَّمَا تَرَى أَقْصَاءَهُ فَقَطْ، وَكُلَّهُ لَا تَرَى. فَٱلْعَنْهُ لِي مِنْ هُنَاكَ». | ١٣ 13 |
And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray you, with me unto another place, from whence you may see them: you shall see but the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
| فَأَخَذَهُ إِلَى حَقْلِ صُوفِيمَ إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ، وَبَنَى سَبْعَةَ مَذَابِحَ، وَأَصْعَدَ ثَوْرًا وَكَبْشًا عَلَى كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
| فَقَالَ لِبَالَاقَ: «قِفْ هُنَا عِنْدَ مُحْرَقَتِكَ وَأَنَا أُوافِي هُنَاكَ». | ١٥ 15 |
And he said unto Balak, Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.
| فَوَافَى ٱلرَّبُّ بَلْعَامَ وَوَضَعَ كَلَامًا فِي فَمِهِ وَقَالَ: «ٱرْجِعْ إِلَى بَالَاقَ وَتَكَلَّمْ هَكَذَا». | ١٦ 16 |
And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
| فَأَتَى إِلَيْهِ وَإِذَا هُوَ وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ مُحْرَقَتِهِ، وَرُؤَسَاءُ مُوآبَ مَعَهُ. فَقَالَ لَهُ بَالَاقُ: «مَاذَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ؟» | ١٧ 17 |
And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What has the LORD spoken?
| فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «قُمْ يَا بَالَاقُ وَٱسْمَعْ. اِصْغَ إِلَيَّ يَا ٱبْنَ صِفُّورَ. | ١٨ 18 |
And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, you son of Zippor:
| لَيْسَ ٱللهُ إِنْسَانًا فَيَكْذِبَ، وَلَا ٱبْنَ إِنْسَانٍ فَيَنْدَمَ. هَلْ يَقُولُ وَلَا يَفْعَلُ؟ أَوْ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَلَا يَفِي؟ | ١٩ 19 |
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
| إِنِّي قَدْ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُبَارِكَ. فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ بَارَكَ فَلَا أَرُدُّهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he has blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
| لَمْ يُبْصِرْ إِثْمًا فِي يَعْقُوبَ، وَلَا رَأَى تَعَبًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُ مَعَهُ، وَهُتَافُ مَلِكٍ فِيهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither has he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
| ٱللهُ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ. لَهُ مِثْلُ سُرْعَةِ ٱلرِّئْمِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
God brought them out of Egypt; he has as it were the strength of an unicorn (ox).
| إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عِيَافَةٌ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ، وَلَا عِرَافَةٌ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. فِي ٱلْوَقْتِ يُقَالُ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ وَعَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَا فَعَلَ ٱللهُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God wrought!
| هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ يَقُومُ كَلَبْوَةٍ، وَيَرْتَفِعُ كَأَسَدٍ. لَا يَنَامُ حَتَّى يَأْكُلَ فَرِيسَةً وَيَشْرَبَ دَمَ قَتْلَى». | ٢٤ 24 |
Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
| فَقَالَ بَالَاقُ لِبَلْعَامَ: «لَا تَلْعَنْهُ لَعْنَةً وَلَا تُبَارِكْهُ بَرَكَةً». | ٢٥ 25 |
And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
| فَأَجَابَ بَلْعَامُ وَقَالَ لِبَالَاقَ: «أَلَمْ أُكَلِّمْكَ قَائِلًا: كُلُّ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ فَإِيَّاهُ أَفْعَلُ؟». | ٢٦ 26 |
But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I you, saying, All that the LORD speaks, that I must do?
| فَقَالَ بَالَاقُ لِبَلْعَامَ: «هَلُمَّ آخُذْكَ إِلَى مَكَانٍ آخَرَ، عَسَى أَنْ يَصْلُحَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱللهِ أَنْ تَلْعَنَهُ لِي مِنْ هُنَاكَ». | ٢٧ 27 |
And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray you, I will bring you unto another place; possibly it will please God that you may curse me them from thence.
| فَأَخَذَ بَالَاقُ بَلْعَامَ إِلَى رَأْسِ فَغُورَ ٱلْمُشْرِفِ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looks toward Jeshimon.
| فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِبَالَاقَ: «ٱبْنِ لِي هَهُنَا سَبْعَةَ مَذَابِحَ، وَهَيِّئْ لِي هَهُنَا سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ». | ٢٩ 29 |
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
| فَفَعَلَ بَالَاقُ كَمَا قَالَ بَلْعَامُ، وَأَصْعَدَ ثَوْرًا وَكَبْشًا عَلَى كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
