< Numbers 24 >
1 When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go, as at the other times, to use divination, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
Kad nu Bileāms redzēja, ka Tam Kungam patika, Israēli svētīt, tad viņš vairs negāja pēc zīmēm, kā pirmo un otru reiz, bet grieza savu vaigu uz tuksnesi,
2 Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
Un pacēla savas acis un redzēja Israēli, kas bija apmeties pēc savām ciltīm; un tas Dieva Gars nāca uz viņu.
3 He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;
Un viņš sāka savu teikumu teikt un sacīja: Bileāms, Beora dēls runā.
4 he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
Tas vīrs, kam acis atvērtas, runā, tas Dieva vārdu klausītājs runā, kas redz Tā Visuvarenā parādīšanas, pie zemes meties atvērtām acīm:
5 How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your dwellings, Israel!
Cik jaukas ir tavas teltis, Jēkab, tavi dzīvokļi, Israēl!
6 As valleys they are spread out, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which the LORD has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.
Kā upes ielejas, tā viņi izplešas, kā dārzi pie upēm, kā alvejas koki, ko Tas Kungs stādījis, kā ciedru koki pie ūdens!
7 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.
Ūdens tek no viņa traukiem un viņa dzimumam ir ūdens papilnam, un viņa ķēniņš būs augstāks par Agagu, un viņa valsts augsti celta.
8 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.
Dievs viņu izvedis no Ēģiptes, viņam ir spēki kā sūbram, viņš norij pagānus, savus ienaidniekus, un satriec viņu kaulus, ar savām bultām viņš tos sašauj.
9 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.”
Viņš ir apgulies kā lauva, kā lauvas māte - kas to traucēs? Kas tevi svētī, tas lai ir svētīts, un kas tevi nolād, tas lai ir nolādēts.
10 Balak’s anger burned 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.
Tad Balaka bardzība iedegās pret Bileāmu un viņš sasita savas rokas kopā, un Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: es tevi esmu aicinājis, nolādēt manus ienaidniekus, bet redzi, tu tos nu trīs reiz svētīdams esi svētījis.
11 Therefore, flee to your place, now! I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, the LORD has kept you back from honor.”
Un nu steidzies uz mājām, es domāju godādams tevi godāt, bet redzi, Tas Kungs tev to godu ir liedzis.
12 Balaam said to Balak, “Did not I also tell your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,
Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: vai es jau neteicu uz taviem vēstnešiem, ko tu pie manis esi sūtījis, sacīdams:
13 ‘If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the LORD’s word, to do either good or bad from my own mind. I will say what the LORD says’?
Jebšu Balaks man dotu savu namu pilnu sudraba un zelta, tomēr es nevaru pārkāpt Tā Kunga vārdu, un darīt vai labu vai ļaunu pēc sava prāta. Ko Tas Kungs uz mani runās, to es runāšu.
14 Now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.”
Un nu redzi, es eju pie saviem ļaudīm; nāc, es tev stāstīšu, ko šie ļaudis darīs taviem ļaudīm nākamās dienās.
15 He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;
Un viņš sāka teikt savu teikumu un sacīja: Bileāms, Beora dēls, runā,
16 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:
Tas vīrs, kam acis atvērtas, runā, tas Dieva vārdu klausītājs runā, kas atzīst Tā Visuaugstākā atzīšanu, kas redz Tā Visuvarenā parādīšanas, pie zemes meties atvērtām acīm:
17 I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, and crush all the sons of Sheth.
Es viņu redzu, bet ne tagad, es viņu ieraugu, bet ne tuvu klāt. Zvaigzne uzlēks no Jēkaba, un scepteris celsies no Israēla, tas satrieks Moaba robežas un izpostīs visus dumpja ļaudis.
18 Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemy, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.
Un Edoms paliek par īpašumu un Seīrs paliek par īpašumu, viņa ienaidnieki, bet Israēls pieņemas spēkā.
19 Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.”
Un no Jēkaba nāks tas valdītājs, un tas izpostīs, kas atlicies no tām pilsētām.
20 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.”
Un viņš redzēja Amaleku un sāka savu teikumu teikt un sacīja: Amaleks ir pagānu pirmais, bet viņa gals ir posts.
21 He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, “Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.
Un viņš redzēja Keniešus un sāka savu teikumu teikt un sacīja: tavs dzīvoklis ir stiprs, un tu savu ligzdu esi taisījis uz klints.
22 Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive.”
Tomēr Kains taps sadedzināts. Cik ilgi būs, tad Asurs tevi vedīs cietumā.
23 He took up his parable, and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this?
Un viņš sāka savu teikumu teikt un sacīja: Ak vai! Kas dzīvos, kad tas stiprais Dievs to darīs?
24 But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction.”
Un lielas laivas no Ķitim spaidīs Asuru un spaidīs arī Ēberu, bet arī viņš pats tas spaidītājs ies bojā.
25 Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
Tad Bileāms cēlās un aizgāja un griezās atpakaļ uz mājām uz savu vietu, un Balaks gāja arīdzan savu ceļu.
