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.
И видев Валаам, яко добро есть пред Господем благословляти Израиля, не иде по обычаю своему в сретение волхвованием, и возврати лице свое в пустыню.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and sees Israel encamped by their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
И возвед Валаам очи свои, узре Израиля ополчившася по племеном: и бысть Дух Божий на нем.
3 And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
И восприим притчу свою рече: глаголет Валаам, сын Веоров, глаголет человек истинно зряй,
4 he says who hears the oracle of the Mighty One, who saw a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened:
глаголет слушаяй словеса Крепкаго, иже видение Божие виде во сне: отверсты очи его:
5 How goodly [are] your habitations, Jacob, and your tents, Israel!
коль добри доми твои, Иакове, и кущы твоя, Израилю:
6 as shady groves, and as gardens by a river, and as tents which God pitched, and as cedars by the waters.
яко дубравы осеняющыя и яко садие при реках, и яко кущы, яже водрузи Господь, и яко кедри при водах:
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.
изыдет человек от семене его, и обладает языки многими: и возвысится паче Гога царство его, и возрастет царство его:
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.
Бог изведе его из Египта, якоже слава единорога ему: пояст языки враг своих и толщы их измождит, и стрелами своими устрелит врага:
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.
возлег почи яко лев и яко скимен: кто возбудит его? Благословящии тя благословени, и проклинающии тя прокляти.
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.
И разгневася Валак на Валаама, и плесну руками своими, и рече Валак к Валааму: кляти тя врага моего призвах, и се, благословил еси их в третие:
11 Now therefore flee to your place: I said, I will honour you, but now the Lord has deprived you of glory.
ныне убо бежи на место свое: рекох, почту тя: и ныне лиши тя Господь славы.
12 And Balaam said to Balac, Did I not speak to your messengers also whom you sent to me, saying,
И рече Валаам к Валаку: и послом твоим, ихже послал еси ко мне, не рекох ли, глаголя:
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.
аще ми даст Валак храмину свою полну сребра и злата, не могу преступити слова Божия, еже сотворити е зло или добро от мене самаго: елика аще речет ми Бог, сия возглаголю?
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.
И ныне, се, иду до места своего: гряди, присоветую тебе, что сотворят людие сии людем твоим, в последняя дни.
15 And he took up his parable and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
И восприим притчу свою рече: глаголет Валаам сын Веоров, глаголет человек истинно зряй,
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.
слышай словеса Божия, умея умение Вышняго и видение Божие видевый во сне: отверсты очи его:
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.
покажу ему, и не ныне: ублажаю, и не приближается: возсияет звезда от Иакова, и востанет человек от Израиля и погубит князи Моавитския, и пленит вся сыны Сифовы:
18 And Edom shall be an inheritance, and Esau his enemy shall be an inheritance [of Israel], and Israel wrought valiantly.
и будет Едом наследие, и будет наследие Исав враг его, и Израиль сотвори крепость:
19 And [one] shall arise out of Jacob, and destroy out of the city him that escapes.
и востанет от Иакова, и погубит спасаемаго от града.
20 And having seen Amalec, he took up his parable and said, Amalec [is] the first of the nations; yet his seed shall perish.
И видев Амалика и восприим притчу свою, рече: начало языков Амалик, и семя их погибнет.
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,
И видев Кенеона и восприим притчу свою, рече: сильно селение твое: и аще положиши на камени гнездо твое,
22 and though Beor should have a skilfully contrived hiding-place, the Assyrians shall carry you away captive.
и аще будет Веору гнездо коварства, Ассириане пленят тя.
23 And he looked upon Og, and took up his parable and said, Oh, oh, who shall live, when God shall do these things?
И видев Ога и восприим притчу свою, рече: горе, горе, кто жив будет, егда положит Бог сия?
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.
И изыдут из рук Китиейских, и озлобят Ассура, и озлобят Евреов, и сами вкупе погибнут.
25 And Balaam rose up and departed and returned to his place, and Balac went to his own home.
И востав Валаам отиде, возвратився на место свое: и Валак отиде к себе.
