Milu Pareinae 23
1 Hahoi, Balaam ni Balak koevah, hivah thuengnae khoungroe sari touh na sak pouh loe. Maitotan sari touh, tutan sari touh kai hanlah na rakueng pouh loe telah a ti.
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
2 Balak ni Balaam dei e patetlah a sak. Balak hoi Balaam ni bawknae khoungroe tangkuem vah, maitotan buet touh hoi tutan buet touh a poe awh.
And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
3 Balaam ni Balak koevah, nang ni hmaisawi thuengnae teng vah, pou kangdout lah a, kai teh alouk lah yo ka cet eivai, BAWIPA ni kai pato hanlah a tho thai, hahoi na dei pouh e pueng kai ni nang koe na dei pouh han telah atipouh. Hahoi kacailum e hmuenrasang koe a cei.
And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure Yhwh will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
4 Cathut ni Balaam a kâhmo teh ahnimouh ni ama koe bawknae khoungroe sari touh ka sak toe. Bawknae khoungroe buet touh dawk maitotan buet touh, tutan buet touh rip ka poe toe telah a ti.
And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
5 Hottelah BAWIPA ni Balaam koe pahni dawk lawk hah a ta pouh teh, ahni koe Balak koe ban nateh, hettelah patuen dei pouh telah a ti.
And Yhwh put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
6 Hahoi ahnimouh a ban teh, khenhaw, hmaisawinae a kung koe ama hoi Moab tami kalennaw teh pou a kangdue teh,
And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
7 ahni ni lawk hah a pâpho pouh teh, a ram lahoi Balak ni a ceikhai teh, Kanîtholae mon Moab siangpahrang ni tho haw, Jakop hah thoebo haw, tho haw, Isarel hah na pathoe pouh haw telah a ti.
And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
8 Bangtelamaw, Cathut ni thoebo hoeh e thoe louk ka bo han, bangtelamaw, Cathut ni pathoe hoeh e louk ka pathoe han.
How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom Yhwh hath not defied?
9 Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungsongpui dawk ahnimouh teh ka hmu teh, monpui dawk hoi ahnimouh teh ka khet. Khenhaw! miphun louk lah doeh ao awh. Jentelnaw koe pareisin hanlah awm hoeh.
For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10 Jakop vaiphu teh apinimaw a touk thai han. Isarel pung pali pung touh teh apinimaw a touk thai han. Tamikalan due e patetlah dout van boipawiteh, ka poutnae teh a poutnae lah thoseh, telah a ti.
Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
11 Balak ni Balaam koevah, na sak e teh bangtelae na maw. Ka tarannaw thoebo hanlah na hrawi teh, yawhawi dai na poe atipouh.
And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
12 Ahni ni BAWIPA ni ka pahni dawk a ta e lawk ka dei mahoeh na maw telah atipouh.
And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Yhwh hath put in my mouth?
13 Balak ni alouklah cet ei, haw hoi teh na hmu thai nahanlah a onae hmuen ram pueng be na hmu han, abuemlahoi teh be na hmawt mahoeh ei, hot hmuen koehoi ahnimouh teh thoe na bo pouh han telah a ti.
And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
14 Hottelah, Zophimnaw onae Pisgah monsom dawk a luenkhai. Thuengnae khoungroe sari touh a sak teh, hote thuengnae khoungroe tangkuem dawk maitotan buet touh hoi tutan buet touh rip a poe.
And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
15 Balak koevah, hawvah, BAWIPA ka kâhmo navah, hmaisawi thuengnae a kung koe pou ka kangdout loe telah atipouh.
And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the Lord yonder.
16 BAWIPA ni Balaam a kâhmo teh a pahni dawk lawk a ta pouh. Balak koe ban nateh hettelah patuen dei pouh telah a ti.
And Yhwh met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
17 Ahni koe a cei sin teh, khenhaw! hmaisawi thuengnae akung koevah, a kangdue teh, Moab tami kalennaw hai ahni koe ao. Balak ni BAWIPA ni bangtelamaw a dei telah a ti.
And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath Yhwh spoken?
18 Hahoi teh ahni ni lawk hah a pâpho teh, thaw haw, Balak ka lawk thai haw, Zippor capa ka lawk hah thai haw.
And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
19 Cathut teh laithoe ka dei e tami nahoeh. Pankângai e tami capa lahai tho hoeh. A dei e teh sak mahoeh na maw. A dei tangcoung e hah kuep sak mahoeh na maw.
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
20 Khenhaw! yawhawi poe hanelah kâlawk ka hmu teh, a yaw ahawi sak toung dawkvah, kâthung thai mahoeh toe.
Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
21 Jakop koe payonpakainae hmawt hoeh niteh, Isarel hawihoehnae hmawt hoeh. Jehovah a Cathut ni a okhai teh, siangpahrang hramnae lawk ahnimouh koe ao.
He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: Yhwh his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
22 Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai teh, sakraktan patetlah a thaonae a tawn.
God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
23 Bangkongtetpawiteh, taân ni Jakop teh tâ thai hoeh, hmaui ni Isarel teh tâ thai hoeh. Jakop hoi Isarel koevah, Cathut hno sak e hah dei lah kaawm roeroe han.
Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
24 Khenhaw! taminaw teh sendekmanu patetlah a thaw teh, sendek patetlah a dawkcawk teh, a kei awh e moi a ca hoehroukrak teh, a kei awh e moi thi a nei hoehroukrak teh duem awm awh mahoeh, telah a ti.
Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
25 Balak ni Balaam koevah thoebo hanh leih. Yawhawi hai poe hanh leih, telah a ti.
And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
26 Hatei Balaam ni a pathung, BAWIPA ni a dei e naw pueng teh ka sak roeroe hane doeh, telah ka dei nahoehmaw telah a ti.
But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, all that Yhwh speaketh, that I must do?

And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.
28 Hottelah Balak ni Balaam teh kahrawng khetnae Peor mon som a luenkhai.
And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.

And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
