< اَلْعَدَد 24 >
فَلَمَّا رَأَى بَلْعَامُ أَنَّهُ يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ يُبَارِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَمْ يَنْطَلِقْ كَٱلْمَرَّةِ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِيُوافِيَ فَأْلًا، بَلْ جَعَلَ نَحْوَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَجْهَهُ. | ١ 1 |
And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
وَرَفَعَ بَلْعَامُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَرَأَى إِسْرَائِيلَ حَالًّا حَسَبَ أَسْبَاطِهِ، فَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱللهِ، | ٢ 2 |
And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding [in his tents] according to their tribes, and the spirit of God came upon him.
فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «وَحْيُ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ. وَحْيُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْمَفْتُوحِ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ٣ 3 |
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
وَحْيُ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ ٱللهِ. ٱلَّذِي يَرَى رُؤْيَا ٱلْقَدِيرِ، مَطْرُوحًا وَهُوَ مَكْشُوفُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ: | ٤ 4 |
He hath said, who heard the words of God, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:
مَا أَحْسَنَ خِيَامَكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ، مَسَاكِنَكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ! | ٥ 5 |
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, [and] thy tabernacles, O Israel!
كَأَوْدِيَةٍ مُمْتَدَّةٍ. كَجَنَّاتٍ عَلَى نَهْرٍ، كَشَجَرَاتِ عُودٍ غَرَسَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ. كَأَرْزَاتٍ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ. | ٦ 6 |
As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign-aloes which the LORD hath planted, [and] as cedar-trees beside the waters.
يَجْرِي مَاءٌ مِنْ دِلَائِهِ، وَيَكُونُ زَرْعُهُ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ غَزِيرَةٍ، وَيَتَسَامَى مَلِكُهُ عَلَى أَجَاجَ وَتَرْتَفِعُ مَمْلَكَتُهُ. | ٧ 7 |
He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed [shall be] in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
ٱللهُ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ. لَهُ مِثْلُ سُرْعَةِ ٱلرِّئْمِ. يَأْكُلُ أُمَمًا، مُضَايِقِيهِ، وَيَقْضِمُ عِظَامَهُمْ وَيُحَطِّمُ سِهَامَهُ. | ٨ 8 |
God brought him forth from Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce [them] through with his arrows.
جَثَمَ كَأَسَدٍ. رَبَضَ كَلَبْوَةٍ. مَنْ يُقِيمُهُ؟ مُبَارِكُكَ مُبَارَكٌ، وَلَاعِنُكَ مَلْعُونٌ». | ٩ 9 |
He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall rouse him? Blessed [is] he that blesseth thee, and cursed [is] he that curseth thee.
فَٱشْتَعَلَ غَضَبُ بَالَاقَ عَلَى بَلْعَامَ، وَصَفَّقَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ بَالَاقُ لِبَلْعَامَ: «لِتَشْتِمَ أَعْدَائِي دَعَوْتُكَ، وَهُوَذَا أَنْتَ قَدْ بَارَكْتَهُمُ ٱلْآنَ ثَلَاثَ دَفَعَاتٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse my enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] these three times.
فَٱلْآنَ ٱهْرُبْ إِلَى مَكَانِكَ. قُلْتُ أُكْرِمُكَ إِكْرَامًا، وَهُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ مَنَعَكَ عَنِ ٱلْكَرَامَةِ». | ١١ 11 |
Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee to great honor; but lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honor.
فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِبَالَاقَ: «أَلَمْ أُكَلِّمْ أَيْضًا رُسُلَكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا: | ١٢ 12 |
And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not speak also to thy messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying,
وَلَوْ أَعْطَانِي بَالَاقُ مِلْءَ بَيْتِهِ فِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَتَجَاوَزَ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَعْمَلَ خَيْرًا أَوْ شَرًّا مِنْ نَفْسِي. ٱلَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِيَّاهُ أَتَكَلَّمُ. | ١٣ 13 |
If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do [either] good or bad of my own mind; [but] what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا أَنَا مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى شَعْبِي. هَلُمَّ أُنْبِئْكَ بِمَا يَفْعَلُهُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ بِشَعْبِكَ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». | ١٤ 14 |
And now, behold, I go to my people: come [therefore], I will advertise thee what this people will do to thy people in the latter days.
ثُمَّ نَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «وَحْيُ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ. وَحْيُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْمَفْتُوحِ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
وَحْيُ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ ٱللهِ وَيَعْرِفُ مَعْرِفَةَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ. ٱلَّذِي يَرَى رُؤْيَا ٱلْقَدِيرِ سَاقِطًا وَهُوَ مَكْشُوفُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ: | ١٦ 16 |
He hath said, who heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the Most High, [who] saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:
أَرَاهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ ٱلْآنَ. أُبْصِرُهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ قَرِيبًا. يَبْرُزُ كَوْكَبٌ مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَقُومُ قَضِيبٌ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيُحَطِّمُ طَرَفَيْ مُوآبَ، وَيُهْلِكُ كُلَّ بَنِي ٱلْوَغَى. | ١٧ 17 |
I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
وَيَكُونُ أَدُومُ مِيرَاثًا، وَيَكُونُ سِعِيرُ أَعْدَاؤُهُ مِيرَاثًا. وَيَصْنَعُ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِبَأْسٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
وَيَتَسَلَّطُ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَهْلِكُ ٱلشَّارِدُ مِنْ مَدِينَةٍ». | ١٩ 19 |
Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
ثُمَّ رَأَى عَمَالِيقَ فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «عَمَالِيقُ أَوَّلُ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَمَّا آخِرَتُهُ فَإِلَى ٱلْهَلَاكِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek [was] the first of the nations, but his latter end [shall be] that he shall perish for ever.
ثُمَّ رَأَى ٱلْقِينِيَّ فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «لِيَكُنْ مَسْكَنُكَ مَتِينًا، وَعُشُّكَ مَوْضُوعًا فِي صَخْرَةٍ. | ٢١ 21 |
And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling-place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
لَكِنْ يَكُونُ قَايِنُ لِلدَّمَارِ. حَتَّى مَتَى يَسْتَأْسِرُكَ أَشُّورُ؟». | ٢٢ 22 |
Nevertheless, the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asher shall carry thee away captive.
ثُمَّ نَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «آهْ! مَنْ يَعِيشُ حِينَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
وَتَأْتِي سُفُنٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ كِتِّيمَ وَتُخْضِعُ أَشُّورَ، وَتُخْضِعُ عَابِرَ، فَهُوَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْهَلَاكِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
And ships [shall come] from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Ashur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
ثُمَّ قَامَ بَلْعَامُ وَٱنْطَلَقَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. وَبَالَاقُ أَيْضًا ذَهَبَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And Balaam arose, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
