Numbers 23
1 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
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 offered up a bullock and a ram on [each] altar.
I uèini Valak kako mu reèe Valam; i prinese Valak s Valamom na svakom oltaru po jedno tele i ovna.
3 And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go; perhaps Jehovah will come to meet me; and whatever he shews me I will tell thee. And he went to 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 met Balaam; and [Balaam] said to him, I have disposed seven altars, and have offered up a bullock and a ram upon [each] altar.
I srete Bog Valama, a on mu reèe: sedam oltara spremih, i prinesoh po tele i ovna na svakom oltaru.
5 And Jehovah put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
A Gospod metnu rijeèi u usta Valamu, i reèe: vrati se k Valaku i tako mu reci.
6 And he returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
I vrati se k njemu, a on stajaše kod žrtve svoje paljenice i svi knezovi Moavski.
7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east: Come, curse me Jacob, and come, denounce 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 shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I denounce whom Jehovah doth not denounce?
Kako bih kleo onoga koga ne kune Bog? ili kako bih ružio onoga koga Gospod ne ruži?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: Lo, [it is] a people that shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned 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 can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the righteous, and let my end be 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 And Balak said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
Tada reèe Valak Valamu: šta to radiš od mene? Ja te dozvah da prokuneš neprijatelje moje, a gle, ti blagosiljaš jednako.
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah puts in 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, I pray thee, with me to another place, from whence thou wilt see them; thou shalt see only the extremity of them and shalt not see them all, and curse me them from thence.
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 And he took him to the watchmen's field, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on [each] altar.
I dovede ga u polje Zofim, navrh Fazge, i naèini sedam oltara, i prinese na svakom oltaru po jedno tele i ovna.
15 And [Balaam] said to Balak, Stand here by thy burnt-offering, and I will go to meet yonder.
Tada Valam reèe Valaku: stoj tu kod žrtve svoje paljenice, a ja idem onamo na susret Gospodu.
16 And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
I srete Gospod Valama, i metnu mu rijeè u usta, i reèe: vrati se k Valaku, i tako govori.
17 And he came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him; and Balak said to him, What has Jehovah spoken?
I doðe k njemu, a on stajaše kod žrtve svoje paljenice i s njim knezovi Moavski; i reèe Valak: šta veli Gospod?
18 Then he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear! hearken unto me, son of Zippor!
A on otvori prièu svoju, i reèe: ustani Valaèe, i poslušaj, èuj me sine Seforov!
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither a son of man, that he should repent. Shall he say and not do? and shall he speak and not make it good?
Bog nije èovjek da laže, ni sin èovjeèji da se pokaje. Što kaže neæe li uèiniti, i što reèe neæe li izvršiti?
20 Behold, I have received [mission] to bless; and he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
Gle, primih da blagoslovim; jer je on blagoslovio, a ja neæu poreæi.
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen wrong in Israel; Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of a king is in his midst.
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 God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo.
Bog ga je izveo iz Misira, on mu je kao snaga jednorogova.
23 For there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel. At this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
Jer nema èini na Jakova ni vraèanja na Izrailja; u ovo doba govoriæe se o Jakovu i o Izrailju, što je uèinio Bog.
24 Lo, the people will rise up as a lioness, and lift himself up as a lion. He shall not lie down until he have eaten the prey and drunk the blood of the slain.
Evo, narod æe ustati kao silan lav, i kao laviæ skoèiæe; neæe leæi dokle ne pojede lova i popije krvi pobijenijeh.
25 And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
Tada reèe Valak Valamu: nemoj ga ni kleti ni blagosiljati.
26 And Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell thee, saying, All that Jehovah shall speak, that will I do?
A Valam odgovori Valaku: nijesam li ti kazao da æu èiniti što mi god Gospod kaže?
27 And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee to another place; perhaps it will be right in the sight of God that thou curse me them from thence.
A Valak reèe Valamu: hodi, odvešæu te na drugo mjesto; da ako Bogu bude volja da mi ga odande prokuneš.
28 And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, which looks over the surface of the waste.
I odvede Valak Valama navrh Fegora, koji gleda u pustinju.
29 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
I reèe Valam Valaku: naèini mi ovdje sedam oltara, i pripravi mi ovdje sedam telaca i sedam ovnova.
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on each altar.
I uèini Valak kako reèe Valam i prinese žrtvu po tele i ovna na svakom oltaru.
