Numbers 23
1 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
Kinuna ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Mangibangonka iti pito nga altar ditoy para kaniak ken mangisaganaka iti pito a toro a baka ken pito a kalakian a karnero.”
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken. And Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
Inaramid ngarud ni Balak kas kiniddaw ni Balaam. Ket nangidatonda a dua iti maysa a baka ken maysa a karnero iti rabaw ti tunggal altar.
3 And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps Jehovah will come to meet me, and whatever he shows me I will tell thee. And he went to a bare height.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Agtakderka iti abay ti datonmo a maipuor ta mapanakon. Nalabit nga umaynak saraken ni Yahweh. Ibagakto kenka ti aniaman nga ipakitana kaniak.” Isu a napan isuna iti tuktok ti turod nga awan iti kakaykayona.
4 And God met Balaam, and he said to him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
Immay ti Dios kenkuana, ket kinuna ni Balaam iti Dios, “Nangbangonak iti pito nga altar, ket nangidatonak iti maysa a baka ken maysa a karnero iti tunggal maysa kadagitoy.”
5 And Jehovah put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus thou shall speak.
Nangikabil ni Yahweh iti mensahe iti ngiwat ni Balaam ket kinunana, “Agsublika kenni Balak ket kasaritam isuna.”
6 And he returned to him. And, lo, he was standing by his burnt offering, he, and all the rulers of Moab.
Nagsubli ngarud ni Balaam kenni Balak, a sitatakder iti abay ti datonna a naipuor, ken kaduana dagiti amin a pangulo ti Moab.
7 And he took up his oracle, and said, From Aram Balak has brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me, and come, defy Israel.
Ket rinugian ni Balaam nga insao ti padtona ket kinunana, “Inkuyognak ni Balak manipud Aram. Ti ari ti Moab a naggapu kadagiti kabanbantayan iti daya. 'Umayka, ilunodmo ni Jacob para kaniak,' kinunana. 'Umaymo dupraken ti Israel.'
8 How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? And how shall I defy, whom Jehovah has not defied?
Kasanok nga ilunod dagiti saan nga inlunod ti Dios? Kasanok a supiaten dagiti saan a sinupiat ni Yahweh?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him. Lo, it is a people that dwells alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
Ta manipud iti tuktok dagiti dadakkel a bato ket makitkitak isuna; manipud kadagiti katurturodan ket matantannawagak isuna. Kitaem, adda dita ti tattao nga agbibiag nga agmaymaysa ket saanda nga ibilang ti bagbagida a kas maysa laeng a gagangay a nasion.
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
Siasino ti makabilang iti tapok ni Jacob wenno ti kakapat a bilang dagiti Israelita? Pumusayak koma a kas iti ipupusay ti nalinteg a tao, ket gibusam ti biagko kas kenkuana!”
11 And Balak said to Balaam, What have thou done to me? I took thee to curse my enemies, and, behold, thou have blessed them altogether.
Kinuna ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Ania daytoy nga inaramidmo kaniak? Inkuyogka tapno ilunodmo dagiti kabusorko, ngem adtoy, binendisionam ketdi ida.”
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah puts in my mouth?
Simmungbat ni Balaam ket kinunana, “Saan kadi a ti rumbeng nga ibagak ket dagiti laeng ikabil ni Yahweh iti ngiwatko?”
13 And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to another place, from where thou may see them. Thou shall see but the outmost part of them, and shall not see them all, and curse them for me from there.
Isu a kinuna ni Balak kenkuana, “Pangngaasim, kumuyogka kaniak iti sabali pay a lugar a pakakitaam kadakuada. Dagiti laeng asideg ti makitam kadakuada, saanmo ida a makita amin. Sadiay, ilunodmo ida para kaniak.”
14 And he took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
Isu nga inkuyog ni Balak ni Balaam iti tay-ak ti Zofim nga agturong iti tuktok ti Bantay Pisga, ket nangbangon manen isuna iti pito nga altar. Nangidaton isuna iti maysa a baka ken maysa a karnero iti rabaw ti tunggal altar.
15 And he said to Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet Jehovah yonder.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Agtakderka ditoy abay ti datonmo a naipuor, bayat ti pannakisarakko kenni Yahweh sadiay.
16 And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shall thou speak.
Sinarak ngarud ni Yahweh ni Balaam ket inkabilna ti mensahe iti ngiwatna. Kinunana, “Agsublika kenni Balak ket itedmo ti mensahek kenkuana.”
17 And he came to him. And, lo, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the rulers of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, What has Jehovah spoken?
Nagsubli ni Balaam kenkuana, ket adtoy, agtaktakder isuna iti abay ti datonna a naipuor ken kaduana dagiti pangulo ti Moab. Ket kinuna ni Balak kenkuana, “Ania ti kinuna ni Yahweh?”
18 And he took up his oracle, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear. Hearken to me, thou son of Zippor.
Rinugian ni Balaam ti padtona. Kinunana, “Tumakderka Balak, ket dumngegka. Denggennak, sika nga anak a lalaki ni Sefor.
19 God is not a man, that he should lie, neither the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?
Saan a tao ti Dios tapno agulbod isuna. Wenno maysa a tao, tapno baliwanna ti kapanunotanna. Adda kadi inkarina a saanna a tinungpal? Adda kadi imbagana nga aramidenna a saanna a tinungpal?
20 Behold, I have received to bless. And he has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
Adtoy, nabilinak a mangbendision. Nangbendision ti Dios, ket saankon a mabaliwan daytoy.
21 He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
Awan ti nakitana a pakarigatan kenni Jacob wenno pakariribukan idiay Israel. Adda kadakuada ni Yahweh a Diosda, ket ipukpukawda gapu ta adda kadakuada ti arida.
22 God brings them forth out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox.
Impanaw ida ti Dios manipud iti Egipto nga addaan pigsa a kas iti atap a baka.
23 Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob, neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God wrought!
Awan gamud nga agballigi kenni Jacob, ken awan mammadto a mangdangran iti Israel. Kastoy ketdi ti maibaga kenni Jacob ken iti Israel, 'Kitaem ti inaramid ti Dios!'
24 Behold, the people rise up as a lioness, and as a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.
Adtoy, tumaktakder dagiti tattao a kas iti kabaian a leon, kas iti leon a kellaat nga agparang ket dumarup. Saan nga agidda agingga a makanna ti kinemmegna ken agingga a masepsepna ti dara ti napatayna.”
25 And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
Ket kinuna ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Saanmo ida nga ilunod wenno bendisionan ni kaanoman.”
26 But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell thee, saying, All that Jehovah speaks, that I must do?
Ngem simmungbat ni Balaam ket kinunana kenni Balak,” Saan kadi nga imbagak kenka a masapul nga ibagak ti amin nga ibagbaga ni Yahweh kaniak?
27 And Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take thee to another place. Perhaps it will please God that thou may curse them for me from there.
Ket insungbat ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Umaykan ta ikuyogka iti sabali pay a lugar. Nalabit a maay-ayonto ti Dios nga ilunodmo ida sadiay para kaniak.”
28 And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down upon the desert.
Inkuyog ngarud ni Balak ni Balaam iti tuktok ti Bantay Peor, a pakatantannawagan iti let-ang.
29 And Balaam said to Balak, Build for me here seven altars, and prepare for me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
Kinuna ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Ibangonannak iti pito nga altar ditoy ket isaganam ti pito a baka ken pito a karnero.”
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
Inaramid ngarud ni Balak ti imbaga ni Balaam; nangidaton isuna iti maysa a baka ken maysa a karnero iti rabaw ti tunggal altar.
