Numbers 23
1 Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: uztaisi man šeitan septiņus altārus un sataisi man še septiņus vēršus un septiņus aunus.
2 So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
Tad Balaks tā darīja, kā Bileāms bija sacījis, un Balaks un Bileāms upurēja vērsi un aunu uz ikviena altāra.
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,
Un Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: paliec pie sava dedzināmā upura stāvot; es iešu, vai Tas Kungs man nenāks pretī; un ko Viņš man rādīs, to es tev atsacīšu. Tad viņš gāja uz vienu kalnu.
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.”
Un Dievs sastapa Bileāmu, un tas uz Viņu sacīja: septiņus altārus es esmu uztaisījis un vērsi un aunu upurējis uz ikviena altāra.
5 Then the LORD put a message in Balaam’s mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and give him this message.”
Tad Tas Kungs lika Bileāma mutē to vārdu un sacīja: griezies atpakaļ pie Balaka un runā tā.
6 So he returned to Balak, who was standing there beside his burnt offering, with all the princes of Moab.
Un kad viņš pie šī atgriezās, redzi, tad šis stāvēja pie sava dedzināmā upura ar visiem Moaba lielkungiem.
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!’
Tad viņš sāka teikt savu sakāmo un sacīja: no Aramas Balaks, Moabiešu ķēniņš, mani atvedis, - no tiem kalniem pret rītiem: nāc, nolādi man Jēkabu, un nāc, nosodi Israēli.
8 How can I curse what God has not cursed? How can I denounce what the LORD has not denounced?
Kā lai es nolādu, ko Dievs nelād, un kā lai es nosodu, ko Tas Kungs nesoda?
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.
Jo no augstas klints es viņu redzu, un no tiem kalniem es to ieraugu; redzi, tauta, kas savrup dzīvo un nepieskaitās pagāniem!
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!”
Kas izskaitīs Jēkaba pīšļus vai Israēla skaita ceturto daļu? Lai mana dvēsele mirst šo taisno nāvē, un lai mans pastara gals ir tāds kā viņiem.
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!”
Tad Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: ko tu man esi darījis? Es tevi esmu aicinājis, manus ienaidniekus nolādēt, un redzi, tu tos svētīdams esi svētījis.
12 But Balaam replied, “Should I not speak exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?”
Tad viņš atbildēja un sacīja: vai man nav jādara, ko Tas Kungs mana mutē licis runāt?
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.”
Tad Balaks viņam sacīja: nāc jel man līdz uz citu vietu, no kurienes tu viņus vari redzēt; tu tikai vienu galu no viņiem esi redzējis un visus tu neesi redzējis; - un nolādi man tos no turienes.
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.
Tā viņš to ņēma līdz uz Cofim tīrumu, uz Pizgas kalngalu, un uztaisīja septiņus altārus un upurēja vērsi un aunu uz ikviena altāra.
15 Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there.”
Un viņš sacīja uz Balaku: paliec šeitan pie sava dedzināmā upura, es tur iešu pretī.
16 And the LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and speak what I tell you.”
Tad Tas Kungs sastapa Bileāmu un lika viņa mutē to vārdu un sacīja: griezies atpakaļ pie Balaka un runā tā.
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.
Kad nu viņš pie šī nāca, tad šis stāvēja pie sava dedzināmā upura un Moaba lielkungi pie viņa. Tad Balaks viņam sacīja: ko Tas Kungs ir runājis?
18 Then Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Arise, O Balak, and listen; give ear to me, O son of Zippor.
Tad viņš sāka savu teikumu teikt un sacīja: celies, Balak un klausies! Griez savas ausis uz mani, tu Cipora dēls.
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?
Dievs nav cilvēks, ka melotu, nedz cilvēka bērns, ka Viņam kas būtu žēl. Vai Viņš ko sacītu un nedarītu, vai Viņš ko runātu un neturētu?
20 I have indeed received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot change it.
Redzi, man ir pavēlēts svētīt; Viņš ir svētījis, un es nedarīšu citādi.
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.
Noziegumu Viņš neredz iekš Jēkaba un ļaunumu neatrod iekš Israēla; Tas Kungs, viņa Dievs, ir ar viņu, un ķēniņa prieki pie viņa.
22 God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox.
Dievs tos ir izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes; spēki viņam ir kā sūbram.
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!’
Jo zīlēšana neder pret Jēkabu un buršana neder pret Israēli. Savā laikā Jēkabam top sacīts un Israēlim, ko Dievs dara.
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.”
Redzi, tauta, kas ceļas kā lauvas māte un kas šaujās augšā kā lauva; neapgulstās, kamēr laupījums aprīts un dzer nokauto asinis.
25 Now Balak said to Balaam, “Then neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!”
Tad Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: tev nemaz nebūs viņu ne lādēt, ne svētīt.
26 But Balaam replied, “Did I not tell you that whatever the LORD says, I must do?”
Bet Bileāms atbildēja un sacīja uz Balaku: vai es uz tevi neesmu runājis sacīdams: visu, ko Tas Kungs runās, to es darīšu?
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.”
Tad Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: nāc jel, es tev ņemšu līdz uz kādu citu vietu; varbūt Dievam patiks, ka tu man viņu no turienes nolādi.
28 And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the wasteland.
Tad Balaks Bileāmu veda uz Peora kalngalu, kas pret tuksnesi stiepjas.
29 Then Balaam said, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
Un Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: uztaisi man šeit septiņus altārus un sataisi man septiņus vēršus un septiņus aunus.
30 So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
Tad Balaks darīja, kā Bileāms bija sacījis, un upurēja vērsi un aunu uz ikviena altāra.
