Numbers 24
1 And Balaam saw that it was good in the sight of Jehovah to bless Israel, and he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
Hot patetlah Isarel yawhawi poe e hah BAWIPA a ngainae lah doeh ao tie hah Balaam ni a panue toteh, ahmoun ouk a sak e patetlah taânnae hno hanlah cet laipalah kahrawngum lah letlang a pâtam.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel dwelling [in tents] according to his tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
Balaam ni a khet teh Isarelnaw hah ama miphun aloukcalah ao e hah a hmu. Cathut e Muitha hah ahnimouh koe a pha.
3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith,
Hahoi lawk hah a pâpho teh, Beor capa Balaam mit a ang sak,
4 He saith, who heareth the words of God, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open:
Cathut lawk hah thai hoi, Athakasaipounge kamnuenae hah a hmu hoi, ka tabawk ni teh a mit ka padai e ni,
5 How goodly are thy tents, Jacob, and thy tabernacles, Israel!
Oe Jakop na rim teh ahawi. Oe Isarel na khosaknae teh ahawi doeh.
6 Like valleys are they spread forth, like gardens by the river side, Like aloe-trees which Jehovah hath planted, like cedars beside the waters.
Tanghling patetlah a kâphai. Palang teng e takha patetlah BAWIPA ni a ung e sumpakung hoi, palang teng e Sidar thing patetlah doeh ao.
7 Water shall flow out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in great waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
Khotui moikapap a coe vaiteh, tui apapnae koe cati a patue awh han. Agag hlak vah a siangpahrang a rasang vaiteh, a uknaeram teh tawmtakhang han.
8 God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo. He shall consume the nations his enemies, and break their bones, and with his arrows shall smite [them] in pieces.
Izip hoi Cathut ni a tâcokhai teh, sakraktan patetlah a thao awh. A taran Jentelnaw hah cat awh vaiteh, a hru hah vitpatit lah a dêi awh han. A samtang hoi pawkkayawng lah a ka awh han.
9 He stooped, he lay down like a lion, and like a lioness: who will stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
A tabut awh teh, sendekmanu patetlah a tabo teh apinimaw a pathaw ngam han. Yawhawi na kapoekung hah yawhawi poe nateh, thoe na ka bo naw hah thoebo awh telah a ti.
10 Then Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] these three times!
Hat toteh, Balaam tak dawk Balaam a lung a kâan teh, Balak ni Balaam koevah, ka taran thoebo hanlah na kaw. Hatei, khenhaw! vai thum totouh yawhawi na poe.
11 And now flee thou to thy place; I said I would very highly honour thee, and behold, Jehovah has kept thee back from honour.
Hatdawkvah, na onae koe kahmakata han lah cet. Ka taluepoung e lah tawmrasang hanlah ka kâcai e doeh. Khenhaw! hatei, BAWIPA ni tawmtakhang hanlah na pasoung hoeh toe telah a ti.
12 And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not also speak to thy messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying,
Balaam teh Balak ni sui ngun yikkawi lah na ka poe nakunghai,
13 If Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah to do good or bad out of my heart: what Jehovah shall say, that will I speak?
ahawinae koe lah thoseh, thoenae koelah thoseh, kai kama lung lahoi teh, BAWIPA lawk hloilah sak thai e banghai ka tawn hoeh. BAWIPA ni a dei e pueng ka dei han telah na patoun e patounenaw pueng koehai ka dei nahoehmaw.
14 And now behold, I go to my people: come, I will admonish thee what this people will do to thy people at the end of days.
Khenhaw! ka taminaw koe ka cei han toe. Tho haw hete taminaw ni, hma lae tueng dawk na taminaw koe a sak hane kong dawk pouknae na poe han telah a ti.
15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith,
Ahni ni lawk hah a pâpho teh, Beor capa Balaam mit a ang sak teh,
16 He saith, who heareth the words of God, who knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, Who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open:
Cathut lawk hah thai hoi, Lathueng Poung e panuenae tha panue hoi, Athakasaipounge vision a hmu teh, a tabo hoi a mit ka ang e ni
17 I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh: There cometh a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and he shall cut in pieces the corners of Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult.
ama teh ka hmu, hatei atu nahoeh. Ama teh ka khet, hatei kahnaicalah nahoeh. Jakop koehoi Âsi a tâco han. Isarel koehoi siangpahrang sonron a tâco han. Moab ram pawkkayawng lah a cuek vaiteh, Sethnaw hai be a raphoe awh han.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, and Seir a possession, — they, his enemies; but Israel will do valiantly.
A taran lah ouk kaawm e Edom hoi Seir hai a coe han. Isarel kangduenae ahawi nah thung pueng teh, kaukkung buet touh a tawn awh han.
19 And one out of Jacob shall have dominion, and will destroy out of the city what remaineth.
Jakop koehoi kaukkung buet touh a tawn vaiteh, kacawirae khonaw hah a raphoe awh han.
20 And he saw Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek is the first of the nations, but his latter end shall be for destruction.
Amalek lah kangvawi hoi lawk hah a pâpho. Amalek teh miphun kung pui lah ao eiteh, hatei hnukteng teh rawkphainae lah ao.
21 And he saw the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Firm is thy dwelling-place, and thy nest fixed in the rock;
Kennaw lah kangvawi laihoi lawk a pâpho. Na onae hmuen teh a cak. Na tabu teh lungsong dawk na tuk.
22 But the Kenite shall be consumed, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
Hatei, Ken teh, hmaisawi lah ao vaiteh, Asshur ni san lah na hrawi totouh telah a ti.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas! Who shall live when God doeth this?
Lawk hah bout a pâpho teh, Aiyoe, Cathut ni hetheh a sak toteh apimaw ka hring thai han.
24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and afflict Asshur, and afflict Eber, and he also shall be for destruction.
Hatei, Cyprus tuilum koehoi long phat vaiteh, Asshur hoi Eber hah runae a poe han. Amalek a kahma totouh telah a ti.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
Hahoi teh Balaam a thaw teh a onae hmuen koe a ban teh, Balak hai a ban van.
