Numbers 24
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not resort to sorcery as on previous occasions, but he turned his face toward the wilderness.
Aa kanao nioni’ i Balame te ninò’ Iehovà ty hitata Israele le tsy nisikilie’e nanahake i lili’ey fe nampitolihe’e mb’ am-patrambey eñe ty lahara’e.
2 When Balaam looked up and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came upon him,
Aa naho niandra t’i Balame le nioni’e t’Israele nimoneñe an-kiboho’e ey nilahatse amo fifokoa’eo; le nivotrak’ ama’e ty arofon’ Andrianañahare;
3 and he lifted up an oracle, saying: “This is the prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of a man whose eyes are open,
vaho nonjone’e ami’ty hoe ty razan-drehake, Hoe ty fetse’ i Balame ana’ i Beore, naho ty lañona’ ondaty am-pihaino misokake.
4 the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:
Ty enta’ ondaty mahajanjiñe ty tsaran’Añahare, naho mahaisake ty aroñaro’ i El-Sadai, mibaboke fe am-pihaino mibolanake:
5 How lovely are your tents, O Jacob, your dwellings, O Israel!
Fanjaka o kiboho’oo ry Iakòbe naho o kivoho’oo ry Israele.
6 They spread out like palm groves, like gardens beside a stream, like aloes the LORD has planted, like cedars beside the waters.
Mivelatse hoe vavatane, hoe kodobo añ’olon-tsaka, hoe vahoñe nambole’ Iehovà hoe mendoraveñe añ’olon-drano.
7 Water will flow from his buckets, and his seed will have abundant water. His king will be greater than Agag, and his kingdom will be exalted.
Hidoandoan-drano o sihoa’eo naho ho an-drano maro o tabiri’eo. Mitoabotse ambone’ i Agage ty mpanjaka’e vaho onjoneñe i fifehea’ey.
8 God brought him out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox, to devour hostile nations and crush their bones, to pierce them with arrows.
Manahake ty tsifan-drimo mitiotiotse t’i Andrianañahare nampiavotse aze amy Mitsraime. Hampibotseke ze tane malaiñe aze hampipozapozake o taola’eo, hampitrofahe’e amo ana-pale’eo.
9 He crouches, he lies down like a lion; like a lioness, who dares to rouse him? Blessed are those who bless you and cursed are those who curse you.”
Nitsakononòke re, nanao fandrean-diona naho hoe liona rene’e, ia ty hampitsekak’ aze? Hene soa tata ze mitat’azo Fonga ozoñeñe o mañozoñ’azoo.
10 Then Balak’s anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his hands together and said to Balaam, “I summoned you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have persisted in blessing them these three times.
Nisolebotse amy Balame amy zao ty habose’ i Balake, le nifampitrabohe’e o fità’eo, naho hoe t’i Balak’ amy Balame, Nikanjiako hañozoñe o rafelahikoo, vaho hehe te nitsitsihe’o tata in-telo.
11 Therefore, flee at once to your home! I said I would richly reward you, but instead the LORD has denied your reward.”
Mibioña arè mb’ an-toe’o añe, ie ho nonjoneko andikerañe eñe ty asi’o; te mone kinala’ Iehovà i ho ni-enge’oy.
12 Balaam answered Balak, “Did I not already tell the messengers you sent me
Le hoe t’i Balame amy Balake, Tsy vinolako hao o ìra’o nampihitrife’o amakoo ty hoe,
13 that even if Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the LORD? I will speak whatever the LORD says.
Ndra te hatolo’ i Balak’ ahiko ty volafoty naho volamena mahaatseke i anjomba’ey, tsy ho likoareko ty falie’ Iehovà, hanoako ty soa ndra ty raty boak’ an-troko, fa ze nitsarae’ Iehovà ty ho taroñeko?
14 Now I am going back to my people, but come, let me warn you what this people will do to your people in the days to come.”
Aa le himpoliako ondatikoo henaneo, fe adono hey hitoroako ty hanoe’ ondaty reroañe am’ondati’oo amo andro ampara’e añeo.
15 Then Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying, “This is the prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of a man whose eyes are open,
Aa le nonjone’e ami’ty hoe i fandrazaña’ey: Ty lañona’ i Balame ana’ i Beore, ty taro’ ondaty am-pihaino nabeake.
16 the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:
Ty kora’ i mpijanjiñe o tsaran’ Añahareoy, vaho ama’e ty fahafohinañe i Andindimoneñey, Oni’e ty aroñaro’ i El-Sadai mibaboke fe am-pihaino mibeake:
17 I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come forth from Jacob, and a scepter will arise from Israel. He will crush the skulls of Moab and strike down all the sons of Sheth.
Treako fa tsy henaneo; misamb’ aze iraho fe tsy mitotoke; hiboak’ am’ Iakòbe ty vasiañe; hionjoñe hirik’am’ Israele ty kobaiñe, ho demohe’e o olon-tane’ i Moabeo le fonga ho rotsahe’e o anam-pifandrakarakañeo.
18 Edom will become a possession, as will Seir, his enemy; but Israel will perform with valor.
Ho fanañañe t’i Edome, ho hanaña’ o rafelahi’eo t’i Seire, le hitoloñ’ an-kafatrarañe t’Israele.
19 A ruler will come from Jacob and destroy the survivors of the city.”
Hiboak’ am’ Iakòbe ty hifehe, handrotsake ty sehanga’ i Are.
20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and lifted up an oracle, saying: “Amalek was first among the nations, but his end is destruction.”
Ie nitalakese’e t’i Amaleke le nonjone’e ty fetse’e ami’ty hoe: Nilohà’ o kilakila taneo t’i Amaleke, Fe hamongorañe ty ho figadoña’e.
21 Next he saw the Kenites and lifted up an oracle, saying: “Your dwelling place is secure, and your nest is set in a cliff.
Nisambae’e amy zao o nte-Keineo, vaho nañonjona’e fetse ami’ ty hoe: Fatratse o fimoneña’oo naho mioreñe an-damilamy eo ty akiba’o;
22 Yet Kain will be destroyed when Asshur takes you captive.”
fe ho forototoeñe t’i Kàine; ampara’ mbia te ho tana’ i Asore an-drohy?
23 Once more Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Ah, who can live unless God has ordained it?
Le nonjone’e ty fetse’e nanao ty hoe: Hedey! Ia ty ho veloñe naho akipen’ Añahare?
24 Ships will come from the coasts of Cyprus; they will subdue Asshur and Eber, but they too will perish forever.”
Hitotsak’ eo o lakambey hirik’ añ’olo’ i Ketio, ho silofe’ iareo t’i Asore naho hampiambane’e t’i Aibere, ampara’ t’ie mongotse nainai’e.
25 Then Balaam arose and returned to his homeland, and Balak also went on his way.
Aa le niongake t’i Balame, nienga, naho nimpoly mb’an-toe’e añe; vaho nimb’ amy lia’e mb’eo ka t’i Balake.
