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 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 done according to the word of Balaam, they laid together a calf and a ram upon 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 a while by thy burnt offering, until I go, to see if perhaps the Lord will meet me, and whatsoever he shall command, I will speak to thee.
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 when he was gone with speed, God met him. And Balaam speaking to him, said: I have erected seven altars, and have laid on everyone a calf and a ram.
5 Hina Gode da Ba: ila: mema ea sia: mu liligi olelelalu, Ba: ila: gema bu sia: musa: asunasi.
And the Lord put the word in his mouth, and said: 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.
Returning he found Balac standing by his burnt offering, with all the princes 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: Balac king of the Moabites hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east: Come, said he, and curse Jacob: make haste and detest 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 hath not cursed? By what means should I detest him, whom the Lord detesteth 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.
I shall see him from the tops of the rocks, and shall consider him from the hills. This 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 can count the dust of Jacob, and know the number of the stock of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the just, and my last end be like to them.
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 is this that thou dost? I sent for thee to curse my enemies: and thou contrariwise blessest 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: Call I speak any thing else but what the Lord commandeth?
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.”
Balac therefore said: Come with me to another place from whence thou mayest see part of Israel, and canst not see them all: curse 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 when he had brought him to a high place, upon the top of mount Phasga, Balaam built seven altars, and laying on every one 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 Balac: Stand here by thy burnt offering while I go 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 Balac, and thus shalt thou say 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 by his burnt sacrifice, and the princes of the Moabites with him. And Balac said to him: What hath 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 he taking up his parable, said: Stand, O Balac, and give ear: hear, thou son of Sephor:
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 a man, that he should lie, nor as the son of man, that he should be changed. Hath he said then, and will he not do? hath he spoken, and will he not fulfill?
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 brought to bless, the blessing I am not able to hinder.
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 an image god to be seen in Israel. The Lord his God is with him, and the sound of the victory of the king in him.
22 Gode da ili Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, goeguda: oule misi. E da sigua bulamagau defele, ili fidima: ne gegenana.
God hath brought him out of Egypt, whose strength is like to 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 divination in Israel. In their times it shall be told to Jacob and to Israel what God hath 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 shall rise up as a lioness, and shall lift itself up as a lion: it shall not lie down till it 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 Balac said to Balaam: Neither curse, 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: Did I not tell thee, that whatsoever God should command me, that 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 Balac said to him: Come and I will bring thee to another place; if peradventure it please God that thou mayest curse 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 when he had brought him upon the top of mount Phogor, which looketh towards 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 me here seven altars, 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.
Balac did as Balaam had said: and he laid on every altar, a calf and a ram.
