Numbers 23
1 And Balaam said to Balak, Make me here seven altars and get ready seven oxen and seven male sheep.
I AKU ia o Balaama ia Balaka, E hana oe no'u maanei i mau kuahu ehiku; e hoomakaukau hoi oe no'u i na bipikane ehiku a me na hipakane ehiku.
2 And Balak did as Balaam had said; and Balak and Balaam made an offering on every altar of an ox and a male sheep.
Hana iho la o Balaka e like me ka Balaama i olelo aku ai; a mohai aku la o Balaka laua o Balaama ma kela kuahu ma keia kuahu i ka bipikane hookahi a me ka hipakane hookahi.
3 Then Balaam said to Balak, Take your place by your burned offering, and I will go and see if the Lord comes to me: and I will give you word of whatever he says to me. And he went to an open place on a hill.
I aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, E ku iho oe ma kau mohaikuni, a e hele aku wau; malia paha e hele mai no o Iehova e halawai mo au: a o ka mea ana e hoike mai ai ia'u, oia ka'u o hai aku ai ia oe. A hele aku la ia i kahi kiekie.
4 And God came to Balaam, and Balaam said to him, I have made ready seven altars, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.
A halawai mai la ke Akua me Balaama; i aku la hoi oia ia ia, Ua hoomakaukau no wau i na kuahu ehiku, ua mohai aku hoi au i ka bipikane a me ka hipakane maluna o kela kuahu o keia kuahu.
5 And the Lord put words in Balaam's mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and this is what you are to say.
Waiho mai la o Iehova i wahi olelo ma ka waha o Balaama, i mai la, O hoi oe io Balaka la, a penei kau e olelo aku ai.
6 So he went back to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with all the chiefs of Moab.
A hoi hou ae la ia io na la: aia hoi, e ku ana oia ma kana mohaikuni, oia a me na luna a pau o Moaba.
7 And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, From Aram Balak has sent for me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East: come, put curses on Jacob for me and be angry with Israel.
Hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, Na Balaka ke alii o Moaba au i lawe mai nei Mai Arama mai, mai na mauna o ka hikina; E hele mai, e hoino no'u i ka Iakoba, E hele mai, e hoohewa aku i ka Iseraela.
8 How may I put curses on him who is not cursed by God? how may I be angry with him with whom the Lord is not angry?
Pehea la au e hoino ai i ka ke Akua i hoino ole ai? Pehea la hoi au e hoohewa ai i ka Iehova i hoohewa ole ai?
9 From the top of the rocks I see him, looking down on him from the hills: it is a people made separate, not to be numbered among the nations.
No ka mea, maluna o na pali ka'u e ike aku nei ia ia; Maluna hoi o na puu a'u e nana aku nei ia ia; Aia hoi, e noho kaawale ia poe kanaka, Aole hoi e huiia'ku me na lahuikanaka.
10 Who is able to take the measure of the dust of Jacob or the number of the thousands of Israel? May my death be the death of the upright and my last end like his!
Owai la e hiki ke helu i na hunalepo o Iakoba, A me ka lehulehu o ka hapaha o ka Iseraela? E ake au e make i ka make ana o ka mea pono, I like hoi kuu hope me kona!
11 Then Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I sent for you so that my haters might be cursed, and see, you have given them a blessing.
I mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Heaha keia au i hana mai ai ia'u? Kii aku la no wau ia oe o olelo hoino i kuu poe enemi; aia hoi, ua hoomaikai wale aku oe ia lakou.
12 And in answer he said, Am I not ordered to say only what the Lord puts into my mouth?
Olelo aku la kela, i aku la, Aole anei au e hoomanao e olelo aku i ka mea a Iehova i waiho mai ai iloko o kuu waha?
13 And Balak said to him, Come with me now into another place from which you will not be able to see them all, but only the outskirts of them; and you will send curses on them from there.
I mai la o Balaka ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele pu kaua ma kahi e, malaila e ike aku ai oe ia lakou: e ike oe i kela aoao wale no, aole no e ike ia lakou a pau; a malaila oe e hoino ai ia lakou no'u.
14 So he took him into the country of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and there they made seven altars, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.
Kai aku la kela ia ia i kahi papu o Zopima, maluna pono o Pisega: hana iho la ia i na kuahu ehiku, a mohai aku la i ka bipikane a me ka hipakane ma kela kuahu a ma keia kuahu.
15 Then he said to Balak, Take your place here by your burned offering, while I go over there to the Lord.
I aku la ia ia Balaka, E ku oe maanei ma kau mohaikuni, a halawai aku wau me Iehova ma o.
16 And the Lord came to Balaam, and put words in his mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and this is what you are to say.
Halawai mai la o Iehova me Balaama, waiho mai la i olelo ma kona waha, i mai la, E hoi hon aku oe io Balaka la, e i aku oe penei.
17 So he came to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with the chiefs of Moab by his side. And Balak said to him, What has the Lord said?
A hiki aku la ia io na la, aia hoi, ku iho la ia ma kana mohaikuni, a me ia pu na luna o Moaba; ninau mai la o Balaka ia ia, Heaha ka Iehova i olelo mai ai?
18 And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, Up! Balak, and give ear; give attention to me, O son of Zippor:
Hai aku la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, E ku ae oe iluna, e Balaka, e hoolohe mai; E maliu mai oe ia'u, e ke keiki a Zipora,
19 God is not a man, to say what is false; or the son of man, that his purpose may be changed: what he has said, will he not do? and will he not give effect to the words of his mouth?
Aole ke Akua he kanaka, i hoopunipuni mai ai ia; Aole hoi ia he keiki a ke kanaka i mihi ia: Ua i mai no ia, aole anei ia e hana mai no hoi? Ua olelo mai no oia, aole anei ia e hooko?
20 See, I have had orders to give blessing: and he has given a blessing which I have no power to take away.
Aia hoi, ua loaa ia'u ka olelo hoomaikai aku; Ua hoomaikai no oia, aole e hiki ia'u ke hoololi ae.
21 He has seen no evil in Jacob or wrongdoing in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the glad cry of a king is among them.
Aole ia i ike i ka hewa iloko o ka Iakoba, Aole hoi oia i ike i ke kekee iloko o ka Iseraela; Me ia no o Iehova o kona Akua, Iwaena hoi o lakou ka hooho alii.
22 It is God who has taken them out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox.
Na ke Akua lakou i lawe mai, mai Aigupita mai: Ia ia no ka ikaika me he reema la.
23 No evil power has effect against Jacob, no secret arts against Israel; at the right time it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, See what God has done!
He oiaio, aole no he kilokilo aku i ka Iakoba, Aole hoi he anaana aku i ka Iseraela: Ma ia hope e oleloia mai no ka Iakoba, a no ka Iseraela, Kupaianaha ka hana ana a ke Akua!
24 See, Israel comes up like a she-lion, lifting himself up like a lion: he will take no rest till he has made a meal of those he has overcome, drinking the blood of those he has put to death.
Aia hoi, e ala'e keia poe kanaka me he lionawahine la. E ku ae hoi ia e like me ka lionakane; Aole ia e moe hou, a ai iho ia i ke pio, A e inu hoi i ke koko o ka mea i pepehiia.
25 Then Balak said to Balaam, If you will not put a curse on them, at all events do not give them a blessing.
I mai la o Balaka ia ia, Mai hoino iki aku ia lakou, aole hoi e hoomaikai iki aku.
26 But Balaam in answer said to Balak, Did I not say to you, I may only do what the Lord says?
Olelo aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, i aku la, Aole anei au i i aku ia oe, O ka mea a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia'u, oia ka'u e hana i?
27 Then Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; it may be that God will let you put a curse on them from there.
I mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele mai, a e kai aku au ia oe i kahi e; malia paha e oluolu ke Akua i hoino aku ai oe ia lakou malaila.
28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, looking down over the waste land.
Kai aku la o Balaka ia Balaama maluna pono o Peora, e nana aku ana i Iesimona.
29 And Balaam said to Balak, Make me seven altars here and get seven oxen and seven male sheep ready for me.
I aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, E hana oe no'u i ehiku mau kuahu maanei, a e hoomakaukau no'u maanei i ehiku mau bipikane a me na hipakane i ehiku.
30 And Balak did as Balaam said, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.
Hana iho la o Balaka e like me ka Balaama i olelo ai, a mohai aku la i ka bipikane a me ka hipakane maluna o kela kuahu o keia kuahu.
