Numbers 23
1 Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
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.
2 So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
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.
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,
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.
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.”
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.
5 Then the LORD put a message in Balaam’s mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and give him this message.”
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.
6 So he returned to Balak, who was standing there beside his burnt offering, with all the princes of Moab.
Hahoi ahnimouh a ban teh, khenhaw, hmaisawinae a kung koe ama hoi Moab tami kalennaw teh pou a kangdue teh,
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!’
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.
8 How can I curse what God has not cursed? How can I denounce what the LORD has not denounced?
Bangtelamaw, Cathut ni thoebo hoeh e thoe louk ka bo han, bangtelamaw, Cathut ni pathoe hoeh e louk ka pathoe han.
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.
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.
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!”
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.
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!”
Balak ni Balaam koevah, na sak e teh bangtelae na maw. Ka tarannaw thoebo hanlah na hrawi teh, yawhawi dai na poe atipouh.
12 But Balaam replied, “Should I not speak exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?”
Ahni ni BAWIPA ni ka pahni dawk a ta e lawk ka dei mahoeh na maw telah atipouh.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
15 Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there.”
Balak koevah, hawvah, BAWIPA ka kâhmo navah, hmaisawi thuengnae a kung koe pou ka kangdout loe telah atipouh.
16 And the LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and speak what I tell you.”
BAWIPA ni Balaam a kâhmo teh a pahni dawk lawk a ta pouh. Balak koe ban nateh hettelah patuen dei pouh telah a ti.
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.
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.
18 Then Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Arise, O Balak, and listen; give ear to me, O son of Zippor.
Hahoi teh ahni ni lawk hah a pâpho teh, thaw haw, Balak ka lawk thai haw, Zippor capa ka lawk hah thai haw.
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?
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.
20 I have indeed received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot change it.
Khenhaw! yawhawi poe hanelah kâlawk ka hmu teh, a yaw ahawi sak toung dawkvah, kâthung thai mahoeh toe.
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.
Jakop koe payonpakainae hmawt hoeh niteh, Isarel hawihoehnae hmawt hoeh. Jehovah a Cathut ni a okhai teh, siangpahrang hramnae lawk ahnimouh koe ao.
22 God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox.
Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai teh, sakraktan patetlah a thaonae a tawn.
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!’
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.
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.”
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.
25 Now Balak said to Balaam, “Then neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!”
Balak ni Balaam koevah thoebo hanh leih. Yawhawi hai poe hanh leih, telah a ti.
26 But Balaam replied, “Did I not tell you that whatever the LORD says, I must do?”
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.
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.”
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.
28 And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the wasteland.
Hottelah Balak ni Balaam teh kahrawng khetnae Peor mon som a luenkhai.
29 Then Balaam said, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
Balaam ni Balak koevah, hivah thuengnae khoungroe sari touh na rakueng pouh loe, telah atipouh.
30 So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
Balak ni Balaam dei e patetlah a sak pouh teh thuengnae khoungroe tangkuem maitotan buet touh hoi tutan buet touh rip a poe.
