Idisu 23
1 Ba: ila: me da Ba: ila: gema amane sia: i, “Na hou fidima: ne, goeguda: oloda agoane gaguma. Amola bulamagau gawali fesuale amola sibi gawali fesuale agoane, goeguda: gaguli misa!”
And Balaam said to Balac, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven calves, and seven rams.
2 Ba: ila: ge da ea sia: i defele hamoi. Ba: ila: ge amola Ba: ila: me ela da bulamagau gawali amola sibi gawali amo oloda afae afae amoga gobele sali.
And Balac did as Balaam told him; and he offered up a calf and a ram on [every] altar.
3 Amalalu, Ba: ila: me da Ba: ila: gema amane sia: i, “Goeguda: dia gobei iasu gadenene leloma. Na da asili, Hina Gode da nama gousa: ma: bela: le, amo na da hogomu. Ea nama sia: mu liligi huluane na da dima olelemu.” Amaiba: le, e da hisu agoloba: le heda: le, agolo da: iya gado lelu,
And Balaam said to Balac, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go and see if God will appear to me and meet me, and the word which he shall shew me, I will report to thee. And Balac stood by his sacrifice.
4 Gode da ema misi. Ba: ila: me da Godema amane sia: i, “Na da oloda fesuale gaguli, amo afae afae da: iya bulamagau gawali amola sibi gawali amo gobele sali.”
And Balaam went to enquire of God; and he went straight forward, and God appeared to Balaam; and Balaam said to him, I have prepared the seven altars, and have offered a calf and a ram on [every] altar.
5 Hina Gode da Ba: ila: mema ea sia: mu liligi olelelalu, Ba: ila: gema bu sia: musa: asunasi.
And God put a word into the mouth of Balaam, and said, thou shalt return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak.
6 Amaiba: le, e da buhagili, Ba: ila: ge amola Moua: be ouligisu dunu huluane ea gobei iasu gadenene lelebe ba: i.
And he returned to him, and moreover he stood over his whole-burnt-offerings, and all the princes of Moab with him; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
7 Ba: ila: me da ea ba: la: lusu amoga amane sia: i, “Ba: ila: ge, Moua: be hina da na goeguda: oule misi. Na da eso mabe goumi soge, Silia soge amoga misi. ‘Na fidima: ne sia: musa: misa’ e sia: i. ‘Isala: ili fi dunu ilima gagabusu aligima: ne ilegema!’
And he took up his parable, and said, Balac king of Moab sent for me out of Mesopotamia, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and Come, call for a curse for me upon Israel.
8 Be na da habodane Gode Ea gagabui hame ilegei dunu ilima gagabusu aligima: ne ilegema: bela: ? Na da habodane amo dunu fi wadela: lesima: ne sia: ma: bela: ? Bai Gode da amo dunu fi wadela: lesima: ne hame sia: i.
How can I curse whom the Lord curses not? or how can I devote whom God devotes not?
9 Na da gado heda: le, gele da: iya amogai aligili, amo fi ba: sa. Na da agolo da: iya gadonini ili ba: lala. Ilia da fi amo da hisu esala. Ilia dawa: ! Hina Gode da ilima hahawane dogolegelema: ne hou, eno fifi asi gala ilima hahawanedogolegele hou baligisa, amo ilima i dagoi.
For from the top of the mountains I shall see him, and from the hills I shall observe him: behold, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10 Isala: ili fi iligaga fi da osobo su agoane, bagohameba: le, ilia dunu idimu da hamedei. Na da bogosea, na da Gode Ea fi dunu afae defele bogomu da defea. Na da bogosea, na da olofole, dunu moloidafa bogomu da defea gala.”
Who has exactly calculated the seed of Jacob, and who shall number the families of Israel? let my soul die with the souls of the righteous, and let my seed be as their seed.
11 Amalalu, Ba: ila: ge da Ba: ila: mema amane sia: i, “Di da nama adi hamobela: ? Na da di na ha lai dunu ilima gagabui aligima: ne ilegemusa: goeguda: oule misi. Be di da amo mae hamone, ilima hahawane dogolegele hou fawane aligima: ne ilegei dagoi.”
And Balac said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I called thee to curse my enemies, and behold thou hast greatly blessed [them].
12 Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Na da Hina Gode Ea nama sia: i liligi amo fawane adomusa: dawa: !”
And Balaam said to Balac, Whatsoever the Lord shall put into my mouth, shall I not take heed to speak this?
13 Amalalu, Ba: ila: ge da Ba: ila: mema amane sia: i, “Eno sogebi amoga nama sigi misa. Amogawi, di da Isala: ili dunu ba: lalu, na fidima: ne, ilima gagabusu aligima: ne ilegema.”
And Balac said to him, Come yet with me to another place where thou shalt not see the people, but only thou shalt see a part of them, and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence.
14 E da Ba: ila: me amo Soufime sogebi Bisiga Goumi gadodili diala amoga oule asi. Amola amogawi e da oloda fesuale gaguli amola amo afae afae amoga bulamagau gawali amola sibi gawali gobele sali.
And he took him to a high place of the field to the top of the quarried [rock], and he built there seven altars, and offered a calf and a ram on [every] altar.
15 Ba: ila: me da Ba: ila: gema amane sia: i, “Goeguda: dia gobei iasu gadenene leloma. Amola na da ga (south) asili, Gode gousa: mu.”
And Balaam said to Balac, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go to enquire of God.
16 Hina Gode da Ba: ila: mema misini, ea sia: mu liligi ema olelei. E da amo Ba: ila: gema olelema: ne, bu asunasi.
And God met Balaam, and put a word into his mouth, and said, return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak.
17 Amaiba: le, Ba: ila: me da buhagili, Ba: ila: ge amola Moua: be ouligisu dunu, ea gobei iasu gadenene lelebe ba: i. Ba: ila: ge da Hina Gode Ea sia: ne iasu amo ema adole ba: i.
And he returned to him: and he also was standing by his whole-burnt-sacrifice, and all the princes of Moab with him; and Balac said to him, What has the Lord spoken?
18 Amalalu, Ba: ila: me da ea ba: la: lusu amane sia: i, “Ba: ila: ge, Sibo ea mano! Misa! Na sia: nabima!
And he took up his parable, and said, rise up, Balac, and hear; hearken as a witness, thou son of Sepphor.
19 Osobo bagade dunu da ogogosu dawa: Be Gode da ogogosu hamedafa dawa. Osobo bagade dunu da ilia asigi dawa: su hedolo afadenesa. Be Gode da agoai hame dawa: Gode da Ea ilegei sia: amo huluane hamosa. E da sia: sea, Ea sia: i liligi da hamoi dagoi ba: sa.
God is not as man to waver, nor as the son of man to be threatened; shall he say and not perform? shall he speak and not keep [to his word]?
20 E da nama hahawane dogolegele sia: fawane sia: ma: ne sia: i. Amo Gode da hahawane dogolegele aligima: ne sia: sea, na da amo sia: bu afadenemu hame dawa:
Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: I will bless, and not turn back.
21 Na da agoane ba: sa. Isala: ili fi ilia hobea misunu hou amo ganodini da se nabasu amola bidi hamosu hame ba: mu. Bai Hina Gode, ilia Gode, da ili esala. E da ilia Hina Bagadedafa, ilia da amane wele sisia: sa.
There shall not be trouble in Jacob, neither shall sorrow be seen in Israel: the Lord his God [is] with him, the glories of rulers [are] in him.
22 Gode da ili Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, goeguda: oule misi. E da sigua bulamagau defele, ili fidima: ne gegenana.
It was God who brought him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn.
23 Isala: ili dunu hasalimusa: da wamuni dawa: su o yagono hou hamomu da hamedei. Wali dunu huluane da Isala: ili ea hou ba: sea amane sia: mu, ‘Ba: ma! Gode Ea hamoi ba: ma!’
For there is no divination in Jacob, nor enchantment in Israel; in season it shall be told to Jacob and Israel what God shall perform.
24 Isala: ili fi da gasa bagade laione wa: me agoane. E da mae helefili, hu dodosa: sa amola naha amola medole legei liligi ea maga: me naha. Mai dagoiba: le fawane helefisa.”
Behold, the people shall rise up as a lion's whelp, and shall exalt himself as a lion; he shall not lie down till he have eaten the prey, and he shall drink the blood of the slain.
25 Amalalu, Ba: ila: ge da Ba: ila: mema amane sia: i, “Di da Isala: ili dunu ilima gagabusu aligima: ne ilegemusa: higasa. Defea! Be ilima hahawane dogolegele hou maedafa aligima: ne ilegema!”
And Balac said to Balaam, Neither curse the people at all for me, nor bless them at all.
26 Be Ba: ila: me da amane bu adole i, “Na da dima sia: i dagoi! Na da Hina Gode nama sia: i liligi fawane hamomusa: defele gala!”
And Balaam answered and said to Balac, Spoke I not to thee, saying, Whatsoever thing God shall speak to me, that will I do?
27 Ba: ila: ge da amane sia: i, “Ania da eno sogebi amoga ahoa: di! Amabela: ? Gode da di amoga Isala: ili dunu gagabusu aligima: ne ilegemusa: , amogawi dia logo doasima: bela: ?”
And Balac said to Balaam, Come [and] I will remove thee to another place, if it shall please God, and curse me them from thence.
28 Amaiba: le, e da Ba: ila: me amo oule asili, Bio Goumi amoba: le heda: i. Amogawi, wadela: i hafoga: i soge da elea midadi gududi ba: i.
And Balac took Balaam to the top of Phogor, which extends to the wilderness.
29 Ba: ila: me da ema amane sia: i, “Goeguda: oloda fesuale agoane gaguli, nama bulamagau gawali fesuale gala amola sibi gawali fesuale gala amo gaguli misa.”
And Balaam said to Balac, build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven calves, and seven rams.
30 Ba: ila: ge da ea sia: i defele hamoi. E da oloda afae afae amoga bulamagau gawali afae amola sibi gawali afae gobele sali.
And Balac did as Balaam told him, and offered a calf and a ram on [every] altar.
