民數記 24
1 巴郎見祝福以色列，為上主所喜悅，就不再像前幾次一樣先去探求預示，只轉面向曠野。
And he saw Balaam that it was good in [the] eyes of Yahweh to bless Israel and not he went as time on time to meet omens and he set to the wilderness face his.
2 巴郎一舉目，看見了按支派紮營的以色列人；那時天主的神降在他身上，
And he lifted up Balaam eyes his and he saw Israel dwelling to tribes its and it came on him [the] spirit of God.
3 他遂吟詩說：「貝敖爾的兒子巴郎的神諭，明眼男子的神諭，
And he lifted up oracle his and he said [the] utterance of Balaam son his Beor and [the] utterance of the man opened of the eye.
4 那聽到天主木話，得見全能者的神視，在沉睡中開了神眼的神視：
[the] utterance of [the] [one who] hears [the] words of God who vision of [the] Almighty he sees [who] falls down and [who] is uncovered of eyes.
5 雅各伯，你的帳幕，何其壯觀! 以色列，你的居住，何其美好!
How! they are good tents your O Jacob dwelling places your O Israel.
6 如擴展的棕林，似河畔的花園，像牆上上主栽種的沉香，似臨水的香柏。
Like wadis [which] they are stretched out like gardens at a river like aloes [which] he has planted Yahweh like cedars at waters.
7 英雄由他的 後裔而出，他將治理許多民族；他的君王超越阿加格，他的王國必受舉揚。
It will flow water from buckets its and offspring its [will be] in waters many and he may be high more than Agag king its so it may be exalted kingdom its.
8 領他出埃及的天主，為他有如野牛的角。他要吞滅那敵對他的人民，粉碎他們的骨骸，折斷他們的箭矢。
God [is] bringing out it from Egypt like [the] horns of a wild ox [belong] to him it will consume nations opponents its and bones their it will break and arrows its it will wound [them].
9 他蹲伏臥下有如雄獅，又似母獅；誰敢令他起立﹖祝福你的，必受祝福；咒罵你的，必受咒罵」。
It crouched it lay down like a lion and like a lion who? will he rouse it [those who] bless you [be] blessed and [those who] curse you [be] cursed.
10 巴拉克對巴郎大發憤怒，拍手向他說：「我請你來是為咒罵我的仇敵；看，你反而祝福他們，且已三次。
And it burned [the] anger of Balak on Balaam and he clapped hands his and he said Balak to Balaam to curse enemies my I summoned you and here! you have blessed actually this three times.
11 現在你快回你故鄉去! 我原想豐富地酬謝你，但是，上主奪去了你的酬報」。
And therefore flee for yourself to place your I said surely I will honor you and here! he has withheld you Yahweh from honor.
12 巴郎回答巴拉克說：「我不是已對你遺來的使者聲明過：
And he said Balaam to Balak ¿ not also to messengers your whom you sent to me did I speak saying.
13 既使巴拉克給我滿屋金銀，我也不能違犯上主的命令，任意去行善或作惡，而只能說上主所吩咐的嗎﹖
If he will give to me Balak [the] fullness of house his silver and gold not I will be able to transgress [the] mouth of Yahweh by doing a good thing or a bad thing from own heart my [that] which he will speak Yahweh it I will speak.
14 現在我就要回到我民族那裏去；來，讓我告訴你這民族日後對你的民族所要做事」。
And now here I [am] about to go to people my come! I will advise you [that] which it will do the people this to people your at [the] end of the days.
15 於是他吟詩 u金敖爾的兒子巴郎的神諭，明眼男子的神諭，
And he lifted up oracle his and he said [the] utterance of Balaam son his Beor and [the] utterance of the man opened of the eye.
16 那聽到天主的話，深知至高者的思慮，得見全能者的神視，在沉睡中開了神眼的神諭：
[the] utterance of [the] [one who] hears [the] words of God and [the] [one who] knows [the] knowledge of [the] Most High vision of [the] Almighty he sees [who] falls down and [who] is uncovered of eyes.
17 我看見衪，卻不是在現在；卻不是在近處：由雅各伯將出現一顆星，由以色列將興起一權杖，擊碎摩阿布木頍角，粉碎特一切子民的腦蓋。
I see him and not now I observe him and not near it will march forth a star from Jacob and it will arise a scepter from Israel and it will shatter [the] corners of Moab and it will destroy all [the] descendants of Sheth.
18 厄東將成為他的屬地，色依爾將成為他的轄境；以色列必行使威權。
And it will be Edom a possession and it will be a possession Seir enemies its and Israel [will be] doing strength.
19 由雅各伯將山生一位統治仇敵者，衪要除滅依爾的遺民」。
And he will rule from Jacob and he will destroy [the] survivor[s] from a city.
20 以後他望見阿肋瑪克，遂吟詩說：「阿肋瑪克原是眾民之首，但他的結局是永遠的滅亡」。
And he saw Amalek and he lifted up oracle his and he said [was the] first of [the] nations Amalek and end its [will be] to destruction.
21 後又望見刻尼人，遂吟詩說：「你的居住固然鞏固，你的巢穴縱然建在磐石間；
And he saw the Kenite[s] and he lifted up oracle his and he said [is] enduring dwelling your and [is] set in the rock nest your.
22 但刻尼人仍要被毀滅，到何時亞述才將你擄去﹖」
That except it will become consuming [the] Kenite[s] until when? Asshur will it take captive you.
23 他又吟詩說：「嗚呼! 若天主履行此事，誰還能生存!
And he lifted up oracle his and he said woe! who? will he live from when ordains it God.
24 從基廷有船來，征服亞述，征服厄貝爾；他們也要永遠滅亡」。
And ships [will be] from [the] hand of Kittim and they will afflict Asshur and they will afflict Eber and also it [will be] to destruction.
25 然後巴郎起身回了本鄉；巴拉克也回去了。
And he arose Balaam and he went and he returned to place his and also Balak he went to way his.
