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.
When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he didn’t go, as at the other times, to use divination, but he set 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.
Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
3 Hichun Balaam in akam akehdoh in asei pan tai. Beor chapa Balaam in asei doh ho; kho kimusah pa thusei dohho;
He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open 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 words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
5 Vo Jacob na ponbuh hohi iti hoiya hitam mo! O Israel na inpi ho lungset aum tangeije.
How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your dwellings, 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 valleys they are spread out, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which the LORD has planted, as cedar trees beside 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.
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.
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 brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall consume the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows.
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 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.”
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.
Balak’s anger burnt against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.
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.
Therefore, flee to your place, now! I thought to promote you to great honour; but, behold, the LORD has kept you back from honour.”
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.
Balaam said to Balak, “Didn’t I also tell your messengers 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 Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the LORD’s word, to do either good or bad from my own mind. I will say what the LORD says’?
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.
Now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter 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.
He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open 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.
he says, who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
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 see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A sceptre will rise out of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, and crush all the sons of Sheth.
18 Sedom jong toupha a um ding Seir doupa jong toupha a umding ahi. Amavang Israel chu thahat cheh ding ahi.
Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemy, also shall be a possession, while Israel does 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.
Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.”
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.
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.”
21 Chuin Balak in Mitbah Oraeh chu aki lah kit tan chu in hitin asei tai nangma pansat nahi ada tangeiye ati.
He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, “Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.
22 Nangma Cannan mite jong suhmanga na um ding Asshur ten soh changa nangma na koi ding ahi.
Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive.”
23 Hichun Balak in gaova aseitan, Oh hitobang tah a hi Pathen in na atoh le koi cheng jou ding hinam?
He took up his parable, and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this?
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.
But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction.”
25 chujouvin Balaam in adalhan a inlamma akiletan, chuleh Balak jong achi nading lampi ah achitan ahi.
Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
