عَدَد 24
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى بَلْعَامُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُسَرُّ بِمُبَارَكَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَمْضِ كَالْمَرَّتَيْنِ السَّابِقَتَيْنِ لِمُلاقَاةِ الرَّبِّ، لَكِنَّهُ تَوَجَّهَ بِنَظَرِهِ نَحْوَ الصَّحْرَاءِ، | ١ 1 |
When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go, as at the other times, to meet with omens, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
| وَهُنَاكَ شَاهَدَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُخَيِّمِينَ حَسَبَ أَسْبَاطِهِمْ، فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ اللهِ، | ٢ 2 |
Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Ruach of God came on him.
| وَتَنَبَّأَ قَائِلاً: «كَلامُ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ، كَلامُ الرَّجُلِ الْمَفْتُوحِ الْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ٣ 3 |
He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;
| كَلامُ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ اللهِ، الَّذِي يُشَاهِدُ رُؤْيَا الْقَدِيرِ. الَّذِي يَنْطَرِحُ فَتَنْفَتِحُ عَيْنَاهُ. | ٤ 4 |
he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of Shaddai, falling down, and having his eyes open:
| مَا أَجْمَلَ خِيَامَكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ، وَمَا أَبْهَى مَسَاكِنَكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ! | ٥ 5 |
How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your tents, Israel.
| هِيَ مِثْلُ أَوْدِيَةٍ مُمْتَدَّةٍ، وَكَجَنَّاتٍ عَلَى مَجْرَى نَهْرٍ، وَكَشَجَرَاتِ صَبَّارٍ غَرَسَهَا الرَّبُّ، وَمِثْلُ أَشْجَارِ الأَرْزِ النَّامِيَةِ بِجُوَارِ الْمِيَاهِ. | ٦ 6 |
As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which the LORD has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.
| تَجْرِي مِيَاهٌ مِنْ مَسَاقِيهِ، وَلِزَرْعِهِ يَتَوَافَرُ مَاءٌ غَزِيرٌ. يَكُونُ مَلِكُهُ أَعْظَمَ شَأْناً مِنْ أَجَاجَ وَتَتَسَامَى مَمْلَكَتُهُ. | ٧ 7 |
Water shall flow from his buckets. His seed shall be in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag. His kingdom shall be exalted.
| اللهُ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَقُوَّتُهُ مِثْلُ الثَّوْرِ الْوَحْشِيِّ. يَفْتَرِسُ خُصُومَهُ مِنَ الأُمَمِ، وَيَقْضَمُ عِظَامَهُمْ وَيُثْخِنُهُمْ بِسِهَامِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows.
| يَجْثِمُ كَأَسَدٍ، وَيَرْبِضُ كَلَبْوَةٍ. فَمَنْ يَجْرُؤُ عَلَى إِثَارَتِهِ؟ مَنْ يُبَارِكُكَ يَكُونُ مُبَارَكاً، وَمَنْ يَلْعَنُكَ يَكُونُ مَلْعُوناً». | ٩ 9 |
He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. Everyone who curses you is cursed."
| فَاسْتَشَاطَ بَالاقُ غَضَباً عَلَى بَلْعَامَ، وَضَرَبَ كَفّاً عَلَى كَفٍّ قَائِلاً لَهُ: «دَعَوْتُكَ لِتَشْتِمَ أَعْدَائِي، وَهَا أَنْتَ قَدْ بَارَكْتَهُمْ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ! | ١٠ 10 |
Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, and, look, you have altogether blessed them these three times.
| وَالآنَ اغْرُبْ عَنْ وَجْهِي وَامْضِ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ، فَقَدْ كَانَ فِي عَزْمِي إِكْرَامُكَ وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ شَاءَ أَنْ لَا تَحْظَى بِهِ». | ١١ 11 |
Therefore now flee you to your place. I thought to promote you to great honor; but, look, the LORD has kept you back from honor."
| فَأَجَابَهُ بَلْعَامُ: «أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لِرُسُلِكَ الَّذِينَ بَعَثْتَهُمْ إِلَيَّ | ١٢ 12 |
Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not also tell your messengers who you sent to me, saying,
| إِنَّهُ وَلَوْ أَغْدَقَ عَلَيَّ بَالاقُ مِلْءَ قَصْرِهِ ذَهَباً وَفِضَّةً فَلَنْ أَعْصَى أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ، فَأَصْنَعَ خَيْراً أَوْ شَرّاً مِنْ نَفْسِي؟ فَإِنَّ مَا يُعْلِنُهُ لِي الرَّبُّ فَإِيَّاهُ أُبَلِّغُ. | ١٣ 13 |
'If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of the LORD, to do either good or bad in my heart. I will say what God says'?
| وَالآنَ أَعُودُ إِلَى شَعْبِي، وَلَكِنْ دَعْنِي أُنْبِئُكَ بِمَا سَيُنْزِلُهُ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ بِقَوْمِكَ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ». | ١٤ 14 |
Now, look, I go to my people: come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days."
| ثُمَّ تَنَبَّأَ قَائِلاً: «كَلامُ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ، كَلامُ الرَّجُلِ الْمَفْتُوحِ الْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ١٥ 15 |
He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;
| كَلامُ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ اللهِ، وَيَتَلَقَّى الْمَعْرِفَةَ مِنَ الْعَلِيِّ، الَّذِي يُشَاهِدُ رُؤْيَا الْقَدِيرِ، الَّذِي يَنْطَرِحُ فَتَنْفَتِحُ عَيْنَاهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
he says, who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and who sees the vision of Shaddai, falling down, and having his eyes open:
| أَرَاهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ حَاضِراً، وَأُبْصِرُهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ قَرِيباً. يَخْرُجُ نَجْمٌ مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَظْهَرُ مَلِكٌ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيُحَطِّمُ طَرَفَيْ مُوآبَ، وَيُهْلِكُ كُلَّ رِجَالِ الْحَرْبِ. | ١٧ 17 |
I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and will crush the forehead of Moab, and the crown of all the sons of tumult.
| وَيَرِثُ أَرْضَ أَدُومَ، وَيَتَمَلَّكُ دِيَارَ سَعِيرَ. أَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَيَزْدَادُ قُوَّةً. | ١٨ 18 |
Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemies, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.
| وَيَبْرُزُ حَاكِمٌ مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ فَيُدَمِّرُ مَا تَبَقَّى مِنْ مُدُنٍ». | ١٩ 19 |
Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city."
| ثُمَّ تَطَلَّعَ بَلْعَامُ نَحْوَ مَسَاكِنِ أَهْلِ عَمَالِيقَ فَتَنَبَّأَ: «كَانَ عَمَالِيقُ أَوَّلَ الشُّعُوبِ، أَمَّا عَاقِبَتُهُ فَإِلَى الْهَلاكِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
He looked at Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, "Amalek was the first of the nations, But his latter end shall come to destruction."
| ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ نَحْوَ الْقَيْنِيِّينَ فَأَنْبَأَ: «لِيَكُنْ مَسْكَنُكَ مَنِيعاً، وَعُشُّكَ مَوْضُوعاً فِي صَخْرَةٍ. | ٢١ 21 |
He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, "Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.
| وَإِنَّمَا سَتُدَمَّرُونَ عِنْدَمَا يَطْرُدُكُمُ الأَشُّورِيُّونَ». | ٢٢ 22 |
Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive."
| ثُمَّ تَنَبَّأَ قَائِلاً: «مَنْ لَهُ طَاقَةٌ عَلَى الْعَيْشِ حِينَ يُجْرِي الرَّبُّ ذَلِكَ؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
He took up his parable, and said, "Alas, who shall live when God does this?
| تُقْبِلُ سُفُنٌ مِنْ كِتِّيمَ، وَتُخْضِعُ أَشُورَ وَتُذِلُّ عَابِرَ، فَهُمَا أَيْضاً يَهْلِكَانِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction."
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ بَلْعَامُ إِلَى دِيَارِهِ، وَأَمَّا بَالاقُ فَمَضَى فِي سَبِيلِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
