< Numbers 23 >
1 Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
Chuin balaam’in jong Balak lengpa komma asei tan Pumgo thilto Maicham nato na ding mun-sagi nei bol peh tan chuleh bongchal sagi chule kelngoi chal sagi neigon tup peh tan ati.
2 So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
Balak in Balaam thupeh ho chu angaijin chu in achelhon tan, pumgo maicham asem lhon in bongchal nou ahin kelchal pumgo thil tona chunga akatdoh lhon tai.
3 “Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone,” Balaam said to Balak. “Perhaps the LORD will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you.” So Balaam went off to a barren height,
Hichun Balaam min Balak komma hitin aseitan, hikom pumgo maicham kihal na ahin ana um ta din, keima Pathen in eiki hou lim pi hinam ti kaga kholchil ding, chuteng hiche ho chu nangma ka sei peh ding na hi ati. Hichun Balaam chu Molchung gei achangin akal tan ahi.
4 and God met with him. “I have set up seven altars,” Balaam said, “and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.”
Hilai achun Pathen in Balaam akimupin a sei pehtai, “Kei man Mai-cham sagi ka bol tai, chuleh bongchal nou khat cheh le kelngoi chal khat cheh ka lhandoh tai ati.
5 Then the LORD put a message in Balaam’s mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and give him this message.”
Hichun Pathen in Balaam chu ahoulim pin Balak asei peh ding thu apen; Hijou chun Nangma nung che tan Balak heng lam ah hiche ka thu sei doh hohi sei peh tan, ati.
6 So he returned to Balak, who was standing there beside his burnt offering, with all the princes of Moab.
Balaam chu a hung ki nung le tan ahi leh Balak lengpa chu Moab mi a milunho chu toh pumgo maicham lhan doh na muna ana ding kim tauve.
7 And Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the mountains of the east. ‘Come,’ he said, ‘put a curse on Jacob for me; come and denounce Israel!’
Hiche thucheng hohi Balaam in Balak dinga asei doh ho ahi.
8 How can I curse what God has not cursed? How can I denounce what the LORD has not denounced?
Ahinlah, Pakaiyin a gaosap lou ho chu keiman iti ka gaosap ding ham? Pathen in themmo achan louho chu iti themmo ka chan ding ham ati.
9 For I see them from atop the rocky cliffs, and I watch them from the hills. Behold, a people dwelling apart, not reckoning themselves among the nations.
Keiman molchunga pat kaven, amaho chu molvum apat hin kamu soh kei uve. Hiteho hi chidang nam dang te akon lhenchom ahiu kamu doh e.
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob or number even a fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous; let my end be like theirs!”
Koiham Israel chilhah ho simjou ding chu, simseng lou neldi ja ahiuve. Israel mite chu koima chan simjou lou ding ahi. Keijong hiche nam thengho bang in um inting, amaho thi bang in thileng kati.
11 Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you here to curse my enemies, and behold, you have only blessed them!”
Hichun Balak Lengpan Balaam heng’a asei jin, Ipi neilo hitam? ka melma te gaosap dinga ka kou na hin ahinlah nang in Phatthei na boh jo tai ati
12 But Balaam replied, “Should I not speak exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?”
Ahinlah, Balaam chun a donbut in “Keiman vang Pathen in thu cheng ka lung thimma ei seipeh ho bou ka sei doh ding ahi bouve” ati.
13 Then Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place where you can see them. You will only see the outskirts of their camp—not all of them. And from there, curse them for me.”
Hichun Balak Lengpan Balaam chu mun chomma akou kit in. Hilai’a khu nang in mi dang chi dang Israel nam chom khat aum in, amavang abonchauvin kati poi hiche a um ho beh khu nei gao sap peh in kati.
14 So Balak took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, where he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
Balak chu Zophim kiti damchup aum Pisgah molchunga apui touvin Balaam in maicham phung-sagi a tung doh in hiche maicham phol chunga bongnou chal chuleh kelngoi khat chu akat doh tan ahi.
15 Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there.”
Balaam in jong Balak lengpa komma aseitan, nangma hikomma ana um ta din phat chomkhat keima kaga potdoh ding Pathen in ipi ei houlimpi ding ham keima Pathen toh kihou lim’a pot doh ding ka hi.
16 And the LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and speak what I tell you.”
Chule Pakaiyin akimupin aki houlimpi tan, hichun Pathen in Balak komma che in lang hi tin ki houlimpi in a thuhet ho chu hetsah tan, ati.
17 So he returned to Balak, who was standing there by his burnt offering with the princes of Moab. “What did the LORD say?” Balak asked.
Balaam chu akinung le phat in Balak lampi ahin Moab mite hochu toh maicham phol muna chun thanom tah le ngahlal tah in ana um un ahi. Balak in a dongtan Pathen in epi nasei peh hitam tin a dong tan ahi.
18 Then Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Arise, O Balak, and listen; give ear to me, O son of Zippor.
Balaam in hiche thuchih ho a sei dohtan, Zippor chapa Balak ka thusei hohi ngai tem in, Ki thoudoh tan, ati.
19 God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?
Pakai hi mihem ahilou jeh in jou asei poi, Pathen hi mihem ahi loujeh in lunggel akhel ngai poi, Pakai-Pathen nin ana phondoh ana sei doh aboltan atoh lou um kha tam? Pathen in ana kitepna atoh doh louna suhbulhit louna um kha tam? tin aseiye.
20 I have indeed received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot change it.
Ngaijun keiman Pathen holna ding in thupeh kamui, Pakai-Pathen in phatthei aboh sa chu koiman akham thei poi, ka nung lah doh thei poi, ati.
21 He considers no disaster for Jacob; He sees no trouble for Israel. The LORD their God is with them, and the shout of the King is among them.
Ama tohgon na a Jacob din manthah na imacha aum poi Israelte din lhaset na toh phalou imacha aum poi Pakaiyin ei umpi jing uvin Isreal a ana ki phut det ihi tauve.
22 God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox.
Eygpt a konna Pakaiyin ahin pui doh u ahi tai Israelte ding a Pakai chu bongchal hang sen tah ahiye.
23 For there is no spell against Jacob and no divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and Israel, ‘What great things God has done!’
Sapset na in Jacob a sukhah lou beh ding, Isreal chung nga hile gam thahat kitah lang ding hi jong le, tuapat Jacob henga patna hiti a ka sei ding Pathen in Israel te din hitabang loupina abol ahi tai, ati.
24 Behold, the people rise like a lioness; they rouse themselves like a lion, not resting until they devour their prey and drink the blood of the slain.”
Veuvin mipi hochu keipi bang in ading doh un chule keipi bahkai bangtah in a ding doh tai, anneh ding an chah aval lhum masang nga kum lha lou ahi sa kitah thisan adon kahse a ding ahi, ati.
25 Now Balak said to Balaam, “Then neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!”
Hichun Balak lengpa chun Balaam henga asei tan aphai amahohi nagaosap lou ding ahitah leh phatthei jong boh dajeng tan, atileh;
26 But Balaam replied, “Did I not tell you that whatever the LORD says, I must do?”
Ahin Balaam in Balak chu ahoulim pitan kana phondoh bangtah in Pakaiyin a phondoh hochu ka bol ding ka toh ding ahi kana ti ahi ajeh chu Balaam in thuphon dohna chu thumvei anei ahi.
27 “Please come,” said Balak, “I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God that you curse them for me from there.”
Chu in Balak in Balaam chu ahou lim pitan, lungset tah in neihin jui tan keiman nangma hi munchom’a kapui ding akhatna Pathen lunglam ahung hi thei leh Israel mite chu keima a ding a nei gaosap peh thei ahi.
28 And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the wasteland.
Balak in Balaam chu Peor molchung sang lam ah apui tou tan gam ong tamtah ahung kisuh vet na munah chun apuijin ahi.
29 Then Balaam said, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
Balak in Balaam chu ahou lim pitan hikom ahin maicham phung sagi nei sempeh in chule bongnou chal sagi chule kelngoi achal sagi maicham kintheng adin nei gonpeh in, ati.
30 So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
Hichun Balak in Balaam dei dol tah le asei dung jui jin bongnou chal sagi maicham phol chunga akoi in chule kelngoi chal sagi umna maicham phol chunga ajam lhatan, ahi.
