Numbers 24
1 And when Balaam had seen that it was pleasing to the Lord that he should bless Israel, he by no means went out as he had gone before, to seek divination. But directing his face opposite the desert,
Idi nakita ni Balaam a naay-ayo ni Yaweh a mangbendision iti Israel, saanen a napan isuna a mangaramat iti pananggamod, a kas iti dadduma a tiempo. Kimmita ketdi isuna iti let-ang.
2 and lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel dwelling in tents by their tribes. And with the Spirit of God rushing into him,
Inngatona ti panagkitana ket nakitana dagiti nagkampo nga Israelita tunggal maysa iti bukodda a tribu, ket immay kenkuana ti Espiritu ti Dios.
3 taking up his parable, he said: “Balaam, the son of Beor, the man whose eye has been obstructed,
Naawatna daytoy a padto ket kinunana, “Ni Balaam nga anak ni Beor ket agsao, ti tao a simumulagat.
4 the hearer of the sermon of God, he who has gazed upon a vision of the Almighty, he who falls down and so his eyes are opened, has declared:
Agsasao isuna ken dengdenggenna dagiti sasao ti Dios. Adda makitkitana a parmata manipud iti Mannakabalin-amin a pagrukbabanna kabayatan a simumulagat.
5 ‘How beautiful are your tabernacles, O Jacob, and your tents, O Israel!
Anian a nagpintas dagiti toldam, Jacob, ti lugar a pagnaedam, Israel!
6 They are like forested valleys, like gardens irrigated next to rivers, like tabernacles which the Lord has fixed, like cedars close to waters.
Kasla dagiti tantanap a nagwaras, kasla iti minuyongan iti igid ti karayan, kasla al-aloe nga immula ni Yahweh, kasla sedsedro iti igid ti kadandanuman.
7 Water shall flow from his jar, and his offspring shall be amid many waters, because Agag, his king, shall be taken, and his kingdom shall be removed.
Agluppiasto ti danum kadagiti timbada ken nasibugan a nasayaat ti bukelda. Nangatngatonto ti arida ngem ni Agag, ken mapadayawanto ti pagarianda.
8 Away from Egypt, God has led him, whose strength is like the rhinoceros. They shall devour the nations that are his enemies, and break their bones, and pierce them with arrows.
Iruar isuna ti Dios manipud Egipto. Addaan isuna iti pigsa a kasla atap a baka. Alun-onenna dagiti nasion a mangrangranget kenkuana. Tuktukolenna dagiti tultulangda. Panaenna ida.
9 Lying down, he has slept like a lion, and like a lioness, whom no one would dare to awaken. He who blesses you, shall himself also be blessed. He who curses you, shall be considered cursed.”
Kumleb isuna a kasla leon, kasla iti kabaian a leon. Siasino ti makaitured a mangsinga kenkuana? Mabendisionan koma amin a mangbendision kenkuana; mailunod koma amin a mangilunod kenkuana.”
10 And Balak, being angry against Balaam, clapped his hands together and said: “I called you to curse my enemies, and, to the contrary, you have blessed them three times.
Narubroban ti unget ni Balak maibusor kenni Balaam, ket nangmesmes isuna iti ungetna. Kinuna ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Inayabanka tapno ilunodmo dagiti kabusorko, ngem adtoy, binendisionam ida iti namitlo.
11 Return to your place. I had decided, indeed, to honor you greatly, but the Lord has deprived you of the designated honor.”
Isu a panawannakon ita ket agawidkan. Kinunak gunggonaanka iti dakkel, ngem saan nga impalubos ni Yahweh a makaalaka iti aniaman a gunggona.”
12 Balaam responded to Balak: “Did I not say to your messengers, whom you sent to me:
Ket simmungbat ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Imbagak kadagiti mensahero nga imbaonmo kaniak,
13 Even if Balak would give me his house, filled with silver and gold, I still could not go away from the word of the Lord my God, so as to offer anything, either good or evil, from my own heart; but whatever the Lord will speak, this, too, I shall speak.
'Uray no inted kaniak ni Balak ti palasiona a napno iti pirak ken balitok, saanko a mabalin nga un-unaan ti sao ni Yahweh ken aniaman a dakes wenno naimbag, wenno aniaman a kayatko nga aramiden. Ti laeng ibagak ket ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh nga ibagak.' Saan kadi nga imbagak daytoy kadakuada?
14 Yet truly, as I continue on to my own people, I will give you counsel as to what this people shall do to your people in the end times.”
Isu nga ita, adtoy, agsubliak kadagiti tattaok. Ngem ballaaganka nga umuna maipapan iti aramiden dagitoy a tattao kadagiti tattaom kadagiti masungad nga al-aldaw.”
15 Therefore, taking up his parable, he again spoke: “Balaam the son of Beor, the man whose eye has been obstructed,
Rinugian ni Balaam daytoy a padto. Kinunana, “Agsasao ni Balaam nga anak ni Beor, ti tao a nakamulagat dagiti matana.
16 the hearer of the sermon of God, he who knows the doctrine of the Most High, and who sees the visions of the Almighty, who, falling down, has his eyes opened, has declared:
Daytoy ket padto ti maysa a tao a dumdumngeg kadagiti sasao manipud iti Dios, nga addaan pannakaammo manipud iti Kangangatoan, nga addaan kadagiti parmata manipud iti Mannakabalin-amin, nakapakleb a nakamulagat isuna iti sangoananna.
17 I shall see him, but not presently. I shall gaze upon him, but not soon. A star shall rise out of Jacob, and a rod shall spring up from Israel. And he shall strike down the commanders of Moab, and he shall devastate all the sons of Seth.
Makitkitak isuna, ngem awan isuna ditoy ita. Makitkitak isuna, ngem awan isuna iti asideg. Tumaudto ti bituen manipud kenni Jacob, ken addanto setro a rumuar manipud iti Israel. Burakennanto dagiti mangidadaulo iti Moab ken dadaelennanto dagiti amin a kaputotan ni Set.
18 And he shall possess Idumea; the inheritance of Seir shall fall to their enemies. Yet truly, Israel shall act with strength.
Ket kukuanton ti Israel ti Edom, ken kukuadanto pay ti Seir, dagiti kabusor ti Israel a parmekento ti Israel babaen iti puersa.
19 From Jacob will be he who shall be ruler. And he shall perish the remnants of the city.”
Agtaudto kenni Jacob ti maysa nga ari a mangituray ken dadaelennanto dagiti amin a nabati a sibibiag iti siudadda.”
20 And when he saw Amalek, taking up his parable, he said: “Amalek, first among the Gentiles, whose very end shall be perdition.”
Kalpasanna, kimmita ni Balaam iti Amalec ket rinugianna ti padtona. Kinunana, “Ti Amalec idi ti maysa a kabibilgan kadagiti nasion ngem ti kamaudiananna ket pannakadadael.”
21 Likewise, he saw the Kainites, and taking up his parable, he said: “Robust, indeed, is your habitation. But though you will set your nest in a rock,
Kalpasanna, kimmita ni Balaam kadagiti Kineo, ket rinugianna ti padtona. Kinunana, “Natibker ti lugar a pagnanaedanyo, ken adda kadagiti dadakkel a batbato ti umokyo.
22 and you will be elect among the stock of Kain, how long will you be able to remain? For Assur shall take you captive.”
Nupay kasta, madadael ti Kineo, inton italawdakayo a kas balud dagiti Asirio.
23 And taking up his parable once more he said: “Alas! Who will be able to survive, when God will do these things?
Ket rinugian ni Balaam ti maudi a padtona. Kinunana, “Asi kay pay! Siasino ti makalasat inton aramiden ti Dios daytoy?
24 They shall arrive in Greek warships from Italy. They shall overcome the Assyrians, and they shall devastate the Hebrews, and yet, at the very end, even they themselves shall perish.”
Umayto dagiti daong manipud iti baybay Kittim; rautendanto ti Asiria ken maparmekto ti Eber, ngem uray isuda ket aggibusdanto iti pannakadadael.”
25 And Balaam rose up, and he returned to his place. Likewise, Balak went back, along the way by which he had arrived.
Kalpasanna, timmakder ni Balaam ket pimmanaw. Nagsubli isuna iti pagtaenganna, ken pimmanaw met ni Balak.
