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 Balak, “Build seven altars here for me, and prepare as many calves, and the same number of 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 when he had acted according to the words of Balaam, they placed a calf and a ram together on each 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 Balak: “Stand for a little while next to your holocaust, until I go, to see if perhaps the Lord will meet with me. And whatever he will command, I shall speak to you.”
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 after he had quickly departed, God met with him. And Balaam, speaking to him, said: “I have set up seven altars, and I have placed a calf and a ram on each.”
5 Hina Gode da Ba: ila: mema ea sia: mu liligi olelelalu, Ba: ila: gema bu sia: musa: asunasi.
Then the Lord placed the word in his mouth, and he said: “Return to Balak, and you shall say this.”
6 Amaiba: le, e da buhagili, Ba: ila: ge amola Moua: be ouligisu dunu huluane ea gobei iasu gadenene lelebe ba: i.
Returning, he found Balak standing next to his holocaust, with all the leaders of the Moabites.
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 taking up his parable, he said: “Balak, king of the Moabites, has led me from Aram, from the mountains of the east. ‘Come forth,’ he said, ‘and curse Jacob. Hurry and condemn 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 shall I curse him, whom God has not cursed? For what reason would I condemn him, whom the Lord does not condemn?
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.
I will look upon him from the tops of the stones, and I will consider him from the hills. This people shall dwell alone, and they shall not be counted 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 can number the dust that is Jacob, and who can know the number of the stock of Israel? May my soul die a just death, and may my end be like theirs.”
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 Balak said to Balaam: “What is this that you are doing? I called for you, in order to curse my enemies, and to the contrary, you bless them.”
12 Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Na da Hina Gode Ea nama sia: i liligi amo fawane adomusa: dawa: !”
He answered him, “How can I say anything other than what the Lord orders?”
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.”
Therefore, Balak said: “Come with me to another place, from where you may see a portion of Israel, though you cannot see them all. Curse them from there.”
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 when he had led him to a lofty place, on the top of mount Pisgah, Balaam built seven altars, and placing upon each a calf and a ram,
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.”
he said to Balak, “Stand here next to your holocaust, while I continue on to meet him.”
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 when the Lord had met him, and had put the word in his mouth, he said, “Return to Balak, and you shall say this to him.”
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.
Returning, he found him standing next to his holocaust, and the leaders of the Moabites were with him. And Balak 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!
But, taking up his parable, he said: “Stand, Balak, and pay attention. Listen, you son of Zippor.
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 like a man, so that he would lie, nor is he like a son of man, so that he would be changed. Therefore, having spoken, will he not act? Has he ever spoken, and not fulfilled?
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:
I was led here to bless, and I have no strength to hinder the blessing.
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 is no idol in Jacob; neither is there a false image to be seen in Israel. The Lord his God is with him, and the resound of royal victory is in him.
22 Gode da ili Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, goeguda: oule misi. E da sigua bulamagau defele, ili fidima: ne gegenana.
God has led him away from Egypt; his strength is like that of the rhinoceros.
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!’
There is no soothsaying in Jacob, nor any divination in Israel. In their times, it shall be told to Jacob and to Israel what God has wrought.
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 will rise up like a lioness, and lie down like a lion. But they will not lie down until they devour the prey and 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 Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse him, nor bless him.”
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 he said, “Have I not told you that whatever God would command of me, I would 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 Balak said to him: “Come and I will lead you to another place. If perhaps it may please God, then you may curse them from there.”
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 when he had led him on to the top of mount Peor, which looks out toward 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.”
Balaam said to him, “Build seven altars here for me, and prepare as many calves, and the same number of 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.
Balak did as Balaam had said, and he placed on each altar a calf and a ram.
