< Numbers 23 >

1 And Balaam said to Balac, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven calves, 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 And Balac did as Balaam told him; and he offered up a calf and a ram on [every] 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 And Balaam said to Balac, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go and see if God will appear to me and meet me, and the word which he shall shew me, I will report to thee. And Balac stood by his sacrifice.
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 Balaam went to enquire of God; and he went straight forward, and God appeared to Balaam; and Balaam said to him, I have prepared the seven altars, and have offered a calf and a ram on [every] altar.
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 And God put a word into the mouth of Balaam, and said, thou shalt return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak.
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 And he returned to him, and moreover he stood over his whole-burnt-offerings, and all the princes of Moab with him; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
Hahoi ahnimouh a ban teh, khenhaw, hmaisawinae a kung koe ama hoi Moab tami kalennaw teh pou a kangdue teh,
7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balac king of Moab sent for me out of Mesopotamia, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and Come, call for a curse for me upon 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 whom the Lord curses not? or how can I devote whom God devotes not?
Bangtelamaw, Cathut ni thoebo hoeh e thoe louk ka bo han, bangtelamaw, Cathut ni pathoe hoeh e louk ka pathoe han.
9 For from the top of the mountains I shall see him, and from the hills I shall observe him: behold, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned 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 has exactly calculated the seed of Jacob, and who shall number the families of Israel? let my soul die with the souls of the righteous, and let my seed be as their seed.
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 And Balac said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I called thee to curse my enemies, and behold thou hast greatly 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 And Balaam said to Balac, Whatsoever the Lord shall put into my mouth, shall I not take heed to speak this?
Ahni ni BAWIPA ni ka pahni dawk a ta e lawk ka dei mahoeh na maw telah atipouh.
13 And Balac said to him, Come yet with me to another place where thou shalt not see the people, but only thou shalt see a part of them, and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence.
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 And he took him to a high place of the field to the top of the quarried [rock], and he built there seven altars, and offered a calf and a ram on [every] 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 And Balaam said to Balac, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go to enquire of God.
Balak koevah, hawvah, BAWIPA ka kâhmo navah, hmaisawi thuengnae a kung koe pou ka kangdout loe telah atipouh.
16 And God met Balaam, and put a word into his mouth, and said, return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak.
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 And he returned to him: and he also was standing by his whole-burnt-sacrifice, and all the princes of Moab with him; and Balac said to him, What has the Lord spoken?
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 And he took up his parable, and said, rise up, Balac, and hear; hearken as a witness, thou son of Sepphor.
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 as man to waver, nor as the son of man to be threatened; shall he say and not perform? shall he speak and not keep [to his word]?
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 Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: I will bless, and not turn back.
Khenhaw! yawhawi poe hanelah kâlawk ka hmu teh, a yaw ahawi sak toung dawkvah, kâthung thai mahoeh toe.
21 There shall not be trouble in Jacob, neither shall sorrow be seen in Israel: the Lord his God [is] with him, the glories of rulers [are] in him.
Jakop koe payonpakainae hmawt hoeh niteh, Isarel hawihoehnae hmawt hoeh. Jehovah a Cathut ni a okhai teh, siangpahrang hramnae lawk ahnimouh koe ao.
22 It was God who brought him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn.
Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai teh, sakraktan patetlah a thaonae a tawn.
23 For there is no divination in Jacob, nor enchantment in Israel; in season it shall be told to Jacob and Israel what God shall perform.
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 shall rise up as a lion's whelp, and shall exalt himself as a lion; he shall not lie down till he have eaten the prey, and he shall 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 And Balac said to Balaam, Neither curse the people at all for me, nor bless them at all.
Balak ni Balaam koevah thoebo hanh leih. Yawhawi hai poe hanh leih, telah a ti.
26 And Balaam answered and said to Balac, Spoke I not to thee, saying, Whatsoever thing God shall speak to me, that will I 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 And Balac said to Balaam, Come [and] I will remove thee to another place, if it shall please God, and curse me them from thence.
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 Balac took Balaam to the top of Phogor, which extends to the wilderness.
Hottelah Balak ni Balaam teh kahrawng khetnae Peor mon som a luenkhai.
29 And Balaam said to Balac, build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven calves, and seven rams.
Balaam ni Balak koevah, hivah thuengnae khoungroe sari touh na rakueng pouh loe, telah atipouh.
30 And Balac did as Balaam told him, and offered a calf and a ram on [every] altar.
Balak ni Balaam dei e patetlah a sak pouh teh thuengnae khoungroe tangkuem maitotan buet touh hoi tutan buet touh rip a poe.
