Numbers 23
1 And Balaam said to Balak, Make me here seven altars and get ready seven oxen and seven male sheep.
I reèe Valam Valaku: naèini mi ovdje sedam oltara, i pripravi mi ovdje sedam telaca i sedam ovnova.
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.
I uèini Valak kako mu reèe Valam; i prinese Valak s Valamom na svakom oltaru po jedno tele i ovna.
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.
Pa reèe Valam Valaku: stoj kod svoje žrtve paljenice; a ja idem eda bih se sreo s Gospodom, pa što mi javi kazaæu ti. I on otide sam.
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.
I srete Bog Valama, a on mu reèe: sedam oltara spremih, i prinesoh po tele i ovna na svakom oltaru.
5 And the Lord put words in Balaam's mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and this is what you are to say.
A Gospod metnu rijeèi u usta Valamu, i reèe: vrati se k Valaku i tako mu reci.
6 So he went back to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with all the chiefs of Moab.
I vrati se k njemu, a on stajaše kod žrtve svoje paljenice i svi knezovi Moavski.
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.
A on otvori prièu svoju, i reèe: iz Arama dovede me Valak car Moavski s planine istoène, govoreæi: hodi, prokuni mi Jakova, hodi, naruži Izrailja.
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?
Kako bih kleo onoga koga ne kune Bog? ili kako bih ružio onoga koga Gospod ne ruži?
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.
Jer svrh stijena vidim ga, i s humova gledam ga. Gle, ovaj æe narod nastavati sam, i s drugim narodima neæe se pomiješati.
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!
Ko æe izbrojiti prah Jakovljev i broj od èetvrti Izrailja? Da bih ja umro smræu pravednièkom, i kraj moj da bi bio kao njihov!
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.
Tada reèe Valak Valamu: šta to radiš od mene? Ja te dozvah da prokuneš neprijatelje moje, a gle, ti blagosiljaš jednako.
12 And in answer he said, Am I not ordered to say only what the Lord puts into my mouth?
A on odgovori i reèe: zar neæu paziti i govoriti ono što mi je Gospod metnuo u usta?
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.
Tada mu reèe Valak: hodi sa mnom na drugo mjesto, odakle æeš ga vidjeti; samo mu kraj vidiš, a svega ga ne vidiš; prokuni mi ga odande.
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.
I dovede ga u polje Zofim, navrh Fazge, i naèini sedam oltara, i prinese na svakom oltaru po jedno tele i ovna.
15 Then he said to Balak, Take your place here by your burned offering, while I go over there to the Lord.
Tada Valam reèe Valaku: stoj tu kod žrtve svoje paljenice, a ja idem onamo na susret Gospodu.
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.
I srete Gospod Valama, i metnu mu rijeè u usta, i reèe: vrati se k Valaku, i tako govori.
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?
I doðe k njemu, a on stajaše kod žrtve svoje paljenice i s njim knezovi Moavski; i reèe Valak: šta veli Gospod?
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:
A on otvori prièu svoju, i reèe: ustani Valaèe, i poslušaj, èuj me sine Seforov!
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?
Bog nije èovjek da laže, ni sin èovjeèji da se pokaje. Što kaže neæe li uèiniti, i što reèe neæe li izvršiti?
20 See, I have had orders to give blessing: and he has given a blessing which I have no power to take away.
Gle, primih da blagoslovim; jer je on blagoslovio, a ja neæu poreæi.
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.
Ne gleda na bezakonje u Jakovu ni na nevaljalstvo u Izrailju; Gospod je njegov s njim, i graja u njemu kao car kad nadvlada.
22 It is God who has taken them out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox.
Bog ga je izveo iz Misira, on mu je kao snaga jednorogova.
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!
Jer nema èini na Jakova ni vraèanja na Izrailja; u ovo doba govoriæe se o Jakovu i o Izrailju, što je uèinio Bog.
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.
Evo, narod æe ustati kao silan lav, i kao laviæ skoèiæe; neæe leæi dokle ne pojede lova i popije krvi pobijenijeh.
25 Then Balak said to Balaam, If you will not put a curse on them, at all events do not give them a blessing.
Tada reèe Valak Valamu: nemoj ga ni kleti ni blagosiljati.
26 But Balaam in answer said to Balak, Did I not say to you, I may only do what the Lord says?
A Valam odgovori Valaku: nijesam li ti kazao da æu èiniti što mi god Gospod kaže?
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.
A Valak reèe Valamu: hodi, odvešæu te na drugo mjesto; da ako Bogu bude volja da mi ga odande prokuneš.
28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, looking down over the waste land.
I odvede Valak Valama navrh Fegora, koji gleda u pustinju.
29 And Balaam said to Balak, Make me seven altars here and get seven oxen and seven male sheep ready for me.
I reèe Valam Valaku: naèini mi ovdje sedam oltara, i pripravi mi ovdje sedam telaca i sedam ovnova.
30 And Balak did as Balaam said, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.
I uèini Valak kako reèe Valam i prinese žrtvu po tele i ovna na svakom oltaru.
