Minbu 24
1 Balaam Israel mite phatthei aboh leh Pathen a lunglhai chu ahet phat chun phat dang laiya bang’in doithu ho mangcha din aki go ta pon, gamthip lam agal vet e.
And when Balaam saw that it pleased God to bless Israel, he did not go according to his custom to meet the omens, but turned his face towards the wilderness.
2 Hitia Balaam a dadoh a avetpet chun Israel mite ama phung cheh a akigol u-chu amu tan chu in Pathen lhagao chu Balaam chung ah ahung chu tan ahi.
And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and sees Israel encamped by their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
3 Hichun Balaam in akam akehdoh in asei pan tai. Beor chapa Balaam in asei doh ho; kho kimusah pa thusei dohho;
And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
4 Pathen thupeh awgin japa chun, hatchung-nung gaova muthei pa, Ama angsung a bohkhup a amit-ha let-sah pa:
he says who hears the oracle of the Mighty One, who saw a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened:
5 Vo Jacob na ponbuh hohi iti hoiya hitam mo! O Israel na inpi ho lungset aum tangeije.
How goodly [are] your habitations, Jacob, and your tents, Israel!
6 Palm thingna hing dildel bang leh luipang a honlei kisem bang in a kijao-jahdeh jeng in; Pakaiyin a phudoh sa, Vadung pang’a keh Cedar phungho to abang jeng’e.
as shady groves, and as gardens by a river, and as tents which God pitched, and as cedars by the waters.
7 A twibel akon twi hing hung putdoh intin; a chilhah hon angaichat jouse anei uve. A lengpa’u jong Agag sang in thupi jo in, a lenggam’u jong ki domsang ding ahi.
There shall come a man out of his seed, and he shall rule over many nations; and the kingdom of Gog shall be exalted, and his kingdom shall be increased.
8 Pathen chun Eygpt a kon ahin pui doh ahi; Ama thahatna chu Gam-bong hangsan tah abangin, Amaho douvah nam jouse avallhum sohtan, agu achang jouseu asuh boh pih in, athalpi hattah chun a kap ji.
God led him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn: he shall consume the nations of his enemies, and he shall drain their marrow, and with his darts he shall shoot through the enemy.
9 Keipi bang chan Israel ten alonvuh un, alo tauve; Koiham amaho suthou ngam ding’a chu? Vo Israel nangma na phatthei ho chu ahampha uvin, Nangma na gaosap ho chu avangse ahiuve.
He lay down, he rested as a lion, and as a young lion; who shall stir him up? they that bless you are blessed, and they that curse you are cursed.
10 Hichun Balak chu Balaam chunga hatah in alung hang tan Balak in Balaam khut teni chu a volhan chuin Balak in Balaam kom mah hitin asei tai, keiman ka melmate gaosap ding a kakou nahin nangman lolhing tah a thumvei phatthei naboh joh ahitai.
And Balac was angry with Balaam, and clapped his hands together; and Balac said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemy, and behold you have decidedly blessed [him] this third time.
11 Tun nangma na gam lamah kinungle kit tan, keiman nangma hi loupi tah a jabol ding tia kana seidoh ahin, dih tah a sei ding in Pathen in thupitah a nachen na ding ah kon in na tum chondoh joh ahi tai.
Now therefore flee to your place: I said, I will honour you, but now the Lord has deprived you of glory.
12 Hichu Balaam in Balak kom ah asei tan keiman a solchah pa komma ka na seipeh hita lou ham? Keima henga nahin solpa heng lamma chu, ati.
And Balaam said to Balac, Did I not speak to your messengers also whom you sent to me, saying,
13 Balaam chun aseiyin sana le dangka insung dimset eikipe jongle keima Pathen thupeh kalval ah ka che be theipoi ati thilpha bol ding chu kakin ahin, keima dei bang tah in ka chal thei poi. Pathen in ei houlimpi ho chu keiman ka sei doh ngai ahi.
If Balac should give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to transgress the word of the Lord to make it good or bad by myself; whatever things God shall say, them will I speak.
14 Chule tua jong keima dihtah a sei ding ahileh kanam ka insung mite lah a che ding ka hitai, hung tan keiman ka sei peh nahi hiche mipi teho hin nangma mite nam lentah chunga ahin bol diu khonung teng Balaam in gaova thusei livei na chan chu hiding ahi.
And now, behold, I return to my place; come, I will advise you of what this people shall do to your people in the last days.
15 Hichun Balak hin athu lhun bu chu aki lah in hitin asei tan, Balaam chapan hitin a seije pasal koi tabang khovah muthei hon hitin aseiye, ati.
And he took up his parable and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
16 Balak in hitin aseijin Pathen thu chu aja tauvin chungnung penna thujong aja tauvin ahi. Chungnung penna gaothu mitphel in ahung lhung tan ahin amit chun kho amutan ahi.
hearing the oracles of God, receiving knowledge from the Most High, and having seen a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened.
17 Ama chu ka ven hinlah ka mu theipoi, amavang Jacob apatna valpa khang hung doh ding ahi. Israel la patna tenggol khat hunngpeng doh ding chule Moab te aning keh ajep chip ding Tumelt chate asuh gam ding ahiye.
I will point to him, but not now; I bless him, but he draws not near: a star shall rise out of Jacob, a man shall spring out of Israel; and shall crush the princes of Moab, and shall spoil all the sons of Seth.
18 Sedom jong toupha a um ding Seir doupa jong toupha a umding ahi. Amavang Israel chu thahat cheh ding ahi.
And Edom shall be an inheritance, and Esau his enemy shall be an inheritance [of Israel], and Israel wrought valiantly.
19 Jacob a patna hung ding jahda chun thaneina anei tah ding hiche khopi a amapa umjing nalaipa chu suhgam’a um ding ahiye.
And [one] shall arise out of Jacob, and destroy out of the city him that escapes.
20 Chuin Balak in Amalekte techu aven Amalekte mite chu nam lah a amasa loi pentah ahin, amahi athini geiya anu khah penna pang ding ahi.
And having seen Amalec, he took up his parable and said, Amalec [is] the first of the nations; yet his seed shall perish.
21 Chuin Balak in Mitbah Oraeh chu aki lah kit tan chu in hitin asei tai nangma pansat nahi ada tangeiye ati.
And having seen the Kenite, he took up his parable and said, your dwelling-place [is] strong; yet though you should put your nest in a rock,
22 Nangma Cannan mite jong suhmanga na um ding Asshur ten soh changa nangma na koi ding ahi.
and though Beor should have a skilfully contrived hiding-place, the Assyrians shall carry you away captive.
23 Hichun Balak in gaova aseitan, Oh hitobang tah a hi Pathen in na atoh le koi cheng jou ding hinam?
And he looked upon Og, and took up his parable and said, Oh, oh, who shall live, when God shall do these things?
24 Chuin twikong ahung kipat doh tan amaho chun Assyria mite chule Eber chu ahopa uvin, amaho jong chu suhmang a um ding ahiuve, ati.
And one shall come forth from the hands of the Citians, and shall afflict Assur, and shall afflict the Hebrews, and they shall perish together.
25 chujouvin Balaam in adalhan a inlamma akiletan, chuleh Balak jong achi nading lampi ah achitan ahi.
And Balaam rose up and departed and returned to his place, and Balac went to his own home.
