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 says to Balak, “Build seven altars for me in this [place], and prepare seven bullocks and seven rams for me in this [place].”
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 does as Balaam has spoken, and Balak—Balaam also—offers a bullock and a ram on the altar,
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 says to Balak, “Station yourself by your burnt-offering and I go on, it may be YHWH comes to meet me, and the thing which He shows me I have declared to you”; and he goes [to] a 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 comes to Balaam, and he says to Him, “I have arranged the seven altars, and I offer a bullock and a ram on the altar”;
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 puts a word in the mouth of Balaam and says, “Return to Balak, and thus you speak.”
6 Hahoi ahnimouh a ban teh, khenhaw, hmaisawinae a kung koe ama hoi Moab tami kalennaw teh pou a kangdue teh,
And he returns to him, and behold, he is standing by his burnt-offering, 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 takes up his allegory and says: “Balak king of Moab leads me from Aram; From mountains of the east. Come—curse Jacob for me, And come—be indignant [with] Israel.
8 Bangtelamaw, Cathut ni thoebo hoeh e thoe louk ka bo han, bangtelamaw, Cathut ni pathoe hoeh e louk ka pathoe han.
How do I pierce [when] God has not pierced? And how am I indignant [when] YHWH has not been indignant?
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 rocks I see him, And from heights I behold him; Behold a people! He dwells alone, And does not reckon himself among 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 has counted the dust of Jacob, And the number of the fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of upright ones, 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 says to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I have taken you to pierce my enemies, and behold, you have certainly blessed”;
12 Ahni ni BAWIPA ni ka pahni dawk a ta e lawk ka dei mahoeh na maw telah atipouh.
and he answers and says, “That which YHWH puts in my mouth—do I not take heed to speak it?”
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 says to him, “Come! Come to another place with me, from where you see it—you see only its extremity, and you do not see all of it, and pierce it for me there”;
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 takes him [to] the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and builds seven altars, and offers a bullock and a ram on the altar.
15 Balak koevah, hawvah, BAWIPA ka kâhmo navah, hmaisawi thuengnae a kung koe pou ka kangdout loe telah atipouh.
And he says to Balak, “Station yourself here by your burnt-offering, and I meet [Him] there”;
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 comes to Balaam, and sets a word in his mouth, and says, “Return to Balak, and thus you speak.”
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 he comes to him, and behold, he is standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab [are] with him, and Balak says to him: “What has 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 takes up his allegory and says: “Rise, Balak, and hear; Give ear to me, 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—and lies, And a son of man—and relents! Has He said—and He does not do [it]? And spoken—and He does not confirm it?
20 Khenhaw! yawhawi poe hanelah kâlawk ka hmu teh, a yaw ahawi sak toung dawkvah, kâthung thai mahoeh toe.
Behold, I have received [only] to bless; Indeed, He blesses, 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 has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen perverseness in Israel; His God YHWH [is] with him, And a shout of a king [is] in him.
22 Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai teh, sakraktan patetlah a thaonae a tawn.
God is bringing them out from Egypt, As the swiftness of a wild ox for him;
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.
For no enchantment [is] against Jacob, Nor divination against Israel; At the time it is said of Jacob and Israel, O what God has worked!
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 rises as a lioness, And he lifts himself up as a lion; He does not lie down until he eats prey, And drinks blood of pierced ones.”
25 Balak ni Balaam koevah thoebo hanh leih. Yawhawi hai poe hanh leih, telah a ti.
And Balak says to Balaam, “Neither pierce it at all, nor bless it 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.
and Balaam answers and says to Balak, “Have I not spoken to you, saying, All that YHWH speaks—I do it?”
27 Hahoi Balak ni Balaam koevah, tho haw, alouklah na ceikhai han, awi haw kangna teh Cathut ni thoe na bo sak hanelah ahawi ati ta panue maw, telah a ti.
And Balak says to Balaam, “Please come, I take you to another place; it may be it is right in the eyes of God to pierce it for me from there.”
28 Hottelah Balak ni Balaam teh kahrawng khetnae Peor mon som a luenkhai.
And Balak takes Balaam to the top of Peor, which is looking on the front of the wilderness,
29 Balaam ni Balak koevah, hivah thuengnae khoungroe sari touh na rakueng pouh loe, telah atipouh.
and Balaam says to Balak, “Build seven altars for me in this [place], and prepare seven bullocks and seven rams for me in this [place]”;
30 Balak ni Balaam dei e patetlah a sak pouh teh thuengnae khoungroe tangkuem maitotan buet touh hoi tutan buet touh rip a poe.
and Balak does as Balaam said, and he offers a bullock and a ram on an altar.
