Numbers 24
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased God to bless Israel, he did not go according to his custom to meet the omens, but turned his face towards the wilderness.
Omiyo kane Balaam oneno ni berne Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedh Israel, ne ok otimo tim jwok kaka ne osetimo e kinde mokalo, to nolokore kongʼiyo yo thim.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and sees Israel encamped by their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
Kane Balaam ongʼiyo oko mi oneno jo-Israel kochokore e dhoot ka dhoot, Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuome
3 And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
mi nochiwo ote mare kama: “Ote Balaam wuod Beor, ote mar ngʼat ma wengene neno maber,
4 he says who hears the oracle of the Mighty One, who saw a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened:
ote mar ngʼat mawinjo weche Nyasaye, ngʼat maneno fweny moa kuom Nyasaye Maratego, ngʼat mopodho piny auma, kendo ma wengene oyawore.
5 How goodly [are] your habitations, Jacob, and your tents, Israel!
“Mano kaka hembe magi ber neno, yaye Jakobo, kuondeni mag dak, yaye Israel!
6 as shady groves, and as gardens by a river, and as tents which God pitched, and as cedars by the waters.
“Gilandore ka holni, mana ka puothe mantiere e bath aora, mana ka mane-mane ma Jehova Nyasaye opidho, bende mana ka yiend sida mopidh but pi.
7 There shall come a man out of his seed, and he shall rule over many nations; and the kingdom of Gog shall be exalted, and his kingdom shall be increased.
Pi ma aa e dapigeni biro pongʼ mao oko; kendo kothgi nochal gi pi mabubni. “Ruodhgi nobed gi teko moloyo Agag; pinyruodhgi notingʼ malo.
8 God led him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn: he shall consume the nations of his enemies, and he shall drain their marrow, and with his darts he shall shoot through the enemy.
“Nyasaye nogologi Misri; kendo gin gi teko machalo mar jowi. Gikidho oganda jowasikgi kendo gituro chokegi matindo tindo; kendo gichwowogi gi aserni mag-gi.
9 He lay down, he rested as a lion, and as a young lion; who shall stir him up? they that bless you are blessed, and they that curse you are cursed.
Gilidho ka ginindo piny mana ka sibuor madichwo, bende mana ka sibuor madhako maonge ngʼama nyalo chiewo? “Mad joma ogwedhi gwedhi to joma kwongʼi mondo okwongʼ!”
10 And Balac was angry with Balaam, and clapped his hands together; and Balac said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemy, and behold you have decidedly blessed [him] this third time.
Eka Balak nobedo gi mirima mager gi Balaam. Noriwo lwetene kanyakla mi owachone niya, “Ne aomi mondo ikwongʼna wasika, to isemana gwedhogi ndalo adekgi.
11 Now therefore flee to your place: I said, I will honour you, but now the Lord has deprived you of glory.
Koro aa sani sani mondo idhi dala! Ne awachoni ni abiro miyi chudo maber, to Jehova Nyasaye osetami yudo chudono.”
12 And Balaam said to Balac, Did I not speak to your messengers also whom you sent to me, saying,
Balaam nodwoko Balak niya, “Donge ne anyiso joote mane ioro ira niya,
13 If Balac should give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to transgress the word of the Lord to make it good or bad by myself; whatever things God shall say, them will I speak.
‘Kata bed ni Balak ne miya ode mar ruoth mopongʼ gi fedha gi dhahabu, to ne ok anyal timo gimoro amora gi pacha awuon mopogore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye bed ni ber kata rach?’
14 And now, behold, I return to my place; come, I will advise you of what this people shall do to your people in the last days.
Koro adok ir jowa, to kapok adhi to we anyisi gima jo-Israel biro timo, asiemi kuom gik ma jogi biro timo ne jogi e ndalo mabiro.”
15 And he took up his parable and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
Eka Balaam nohulo ote moa kuom Nyasaye kama: “Ote mar Balaam wuod Beor, ote mar ngʼat man-gi wangʼ maneno ler,
16 hearing the oracles of God, receiving knowledge from the Most High, and having seen a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened.
ote mar ngʼat mawinjo weche Nyasaye, ngʼat man-gi rieko moa kuom Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, ngʼat maneno fweny moa kuom Nyasaye Maratego, ngʼat moriere piny auma, kendo ma wengene oyawore.
17 I will point to him, but not now; I bless him, but he draws not near: a star shall rise out of Jacob, a man shall spring out of Israel; and shall crush the princes of Moab, and shall spoil all the sons of Seth.
“Anene, to ok sani; asudo machiegni, to ok bute. Sulwe biro wuok koa kuom Jakobo; ludh loch biro wuok ei Israel. Obiro toyo wiye jo-Moab, kod wiye yawuot Sheth duto.
18 And Edom shall be an inheritance, and Esau his enemy shall be an inheritance [of Israel], and Israel wrought valiantly.
Obiro loyo piny jo-Edom e lweny mi okaw; kendo Seir ma wasike, nokaw, to Israel nomed bedo motegno.
19 And [one] shall arise out of Jacob, and destroy out of the city him that escapes.
Jatelo noa e oganda joka Jakobo, kendo enotiek joma otony mag dala maduongʼ.”
20 And having seen Amalec, he took up his parable and said, Amalec [is] the first of the nations; yet his seed shall perish.
Eka Balaam noneno Amalek kendo nowachone ote mar Nyasaye kama: “Amalek ema ne okwongo kuom ogendini, to gikone ibiro tieke.”
21 And having seen the Kenite, he took up his parable and said, your dwelling-place [is] strong; yet though you should put your nest in a rock,
Eka noneno jo-Keni kendo ochiwo oteneni: “Kar dak mari nigi kwe, kari mar pondo ni e bwo lwanda;
22 and though Beor should have a skilfully contrived hiding-place, the Assyrians shall carry you away captive.
kata kamano un jo-Keni ibiro negu ndalo ma Ashur oterou e twech.”
23 And he looked upon Og, and took up his parable and said, Oh, oh, who shall live, when God shall do these things?
Eka nochiwo otene niya, “Yaye, en ngʼa manyalo bedo mangima ka Nyasaye otimo ma?
24 And one shall come forth from the hands of the Citians, and shall afflict Assur, and shall afflict the Hebrews, and they shall perish together.
Yiedhi madongo mathoth nobi koa e dho nam mar Kitim; gibiro mako Ashur kod Eber, to kata gin bende ibiro tiekgi.”
25 And Balaam rose up and departed and returned to his place, and Balac went to his own home.
Eka Balaam noa malo mi odok dala kendo Balak bende nodhi e yore owuon.
