Numbers 24
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord that he should bless Israel. he went not as he had gone before, to seek divination: but setting his face towards the desert,
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 lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel abiding in their tents by their tribes: and the spirit of God rushing 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 He took up his parable and said: Balaam the son of Beor hath said: The man hath said, whose eye ire stopped up:
Hahoi lawk hah a pâpho teh, Beor capa Balaam mit a ang sak,
4 The hearer of the words of God hath said, he that hath beheld the vision of the Almighty, he that falleth, and so his eyes are opened:
Cathut lawk hah thai hoi, Athakasaipounge kamnuenae hah a hmu hoi, ka tabawk ni teh a mit ka padai e ni,
5 How beautiful are thy tabernacles, O Jacob, and thy tents, O Israel!
Oe Jakop na rim teh ahawi. Oe Isarel na khosaknae teh ahawi doeh.
6 As woody valleys, as watered gardens near the rivers, as tabernacles which the Lord hath pitched, as cedars by the waterside.
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 bucket, and his seed shall be in many waters. For Agag his king shall be removed, and his kingdom shall be taken awry.
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 hath brought him out of Egypt, whose strength is like to the rhinoceros. They shall devour the nations that are his enemies, and break their bones, and pierce them with arrows.
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 Lying down he hath slept as a lion, and as a lioness, whom none shall dare to rouse. He that blesseth thee, shall also himself be blessed: he that curseth thee shall be reckoned accursed.
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 And Balac being angry against Balaam, clapped his hands together and said: I called thee to curse my enemies, and thou on the contrary hast blessed them 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 Return to thy place. I had determined indeed greatly to honour thee, but the Lord hath deprived thee of the honour designed for thee.
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 Balaam made answer to Balac: Did I not say to thy messengers, whom thou sentest to me:
Balaam teh Balak ni sui ngun yikkawi lah na ka poe nakunghai,
13 If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to utter any thing of my own head either good or evil: but whatsoever the Lord shall say, that I will 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 But yet going to my people, I will give thee counsel, what this people shall do to thy people in the latter 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 Therefore taking up his parable, again he said: Balaam the son of Beor hath said: The man whose eye is stopped up, hath said:
Ahni ni lawk hah a pâpho teh, Beor capa Balaam mit a ang sak teh,
16 The hearer of the words of God hath said, who knoweth the doctrine of the Highest, and seeth the visions of the Almighty, who falling hath his eyes opened:
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 near. A STAR SHALL RISE out of Jacob and a sceptre shall spring up from Israel: and shall strike the chiefs of Moab, and shall waste all the children of Seth.
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 he shall possess Idumea: the inheritance of Seir shall come to their enemies, but Israel shall do manfully.
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 Out of Jacob shall he come that shall rule, and shall destroy the remains of the city.
Jakop koehoi kaukkung buet touh a tawn vaiteh, kacawirae khonaw hah a raphoe awh han.
20 And when he saw Amalec, he took up his parable, and said: Amalec the beginning of nations, whose latter ends shall be destroyed.
Amalek lah kangvawi hoi lawk hah a pâpho. Amalek teh miphun kung pui lah ao eiteh, hatei hnukteng teh rawkphainae lah ao.
21 He saw also the Cinite: and took up his parable, and said: Thy habitation indeed is strong: but though thou build thy nest in a rock,
Kennaw lah kangvawi laihoi lawk a pâpho. Na onae hmuen teh a cak. Na tabu teh lungsong dawk na tuk.
22 And thou be chosen of the stock of Cin, how long shalt thou be able to continue? For Assur shall take thee captive.
Hatei, Ken teh, hmaisawi lah ao vaiteh, Asshur ni san lah na hrawi totouh telah a ti.
23 And taking up his parable, again he said: Alas, who shall live when God shall do these things?
Lawk hah bout a pâpho teh, Aiyoe, Cathut ni hetheh a sak toteh apimaw ka hring thai han.
24 They shall come in galleys from Italy, they shall overcome the Assyrians, and shall waste the Hebrews, and at the last they themselves also shall perish.
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, and returned to his place: Balac also returned the way that he came.
Hahoi teh Balaam a thaw teh a onae hmuen koe a ban teh, Balak hai a ban van.
