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,
Ko je Bileám videl, da je to ugajalo Gospodu, da blagoslovi Izraela, ni odšel kakor ob drugih časih, da išče za izrekanji urokov, temveč je svoj obraz nameril proti divjini.
2 And lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel abiding in their tents by their tribes: and the spirit of God rushing upon him,
Bileám je povzdignil svoje oči in videl Izraela prebivati v svojih šotorih glede na svoje rodove in duh od Boga je prišel nadenj.
3 He took up his parable and said: Balaam the son of Beor hath said: The man hath said, whose eye ire stopped up:
Vzel je njegovo prispodobo in rekel: »Bileám, Beórjev sin, je rekel in mož, katerega oči so odprte, je rekel.
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:
Rekel je tisti, ki je slišal besede od Boga, ki je videl vizijo Vsemogočnega pasti v videnje, toda svoje oči je imel odprte.
5 How beautiful are thy tabernacles, O Jacob, and thy tents, O Israel!
Kako ljubki so tvoji šotori, oh Jakob in tvoja šotorska svetišča, oh Izrael!
6 As woody valleys, as watered gardens near the rivers, as tabernacles which the Lord hath pitched, as cedars by the waterside.
Kakor se doline širijo naprej, kakor vrtovi pri rečnem bregu, kakor drevesa aloje, ki jih je Gospod zasadil, in kakor cedrova drevesa poleg vodá.
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.
Vodo bo izlil iz svojih veder in njegovo seme bo na mnogih vodah in njegov kralj bo višji kakor Agág in njegovo kraljestvo bo povišano.
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.
Bog ga je privedel iz Egipta; imel je, kakor bi bila moč samoroga. Pojedel bo narode svojih sovražnikov in njihove kosti bo zlomil in jih prebodel s svojimi puščicami.
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.
Leži, ulegel se je kakor lev in kakor velik lev. Kdo ga bo razvnel? Blagoslovljen je, kdor te blagoslavlja in preklet je, kdor te preklinja.«
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.
Balákova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Bileáma in svoji roki je udaril skupaj in Balák je rekel Bileámu: »Poklical sem te, da prekolneš moje sovražnike in glej, ti si jih vse skupaj trikrat blagoslovil.
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.
Zato sedaj pobegni k svojemu kraju, Mislil sem te povišati k veliki časti; toda glej, Gospod te je zadržal pred častjo.«
12 Balaam made answer to Balac: Did I not say to thy messengers, whom thou sentest to me:
Bileám je rekel Baláku: »Mar nisem govoril tudi tvojim poslancem, ki si jih pošiljal k meni, rekoč:
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?
›Če bi mi Balák dal svojo hišo, polno srebra in zlata, ne morem preko Gospodove zapovedi, da storim ali dobro ali slabo iz svojega lastnega mišljenja, temveč bom govoril to, kar govori Gospod?‹
14 But yet going to my people, I will give thee counsel, what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
In sedaj glej, grem k svojemu ljudstvu. Pridi torej in oznanil ti bom, kaj bo to ljudstvo storilo tvojemu ljudstvu v zadnjih dneh.«
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:
Vzel je njegovo prispodobo in rekel: »Bileám, Beórjev sin, je rekel in mož, katerega oči so odprte, je rekel:
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:
›Rekel je ta, ki je slišal besede od Boga in poznal spoznanje Najvišjega, ki je videl videnje Vsemogočnega, padajoč v trans, toda z odprtimi očmi.
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.
Videl ga bom, toda ne sedaj. Gledal ga bom, toda ne [od] blizu. Prišla bo Zvezda iz Jakoba in Žezlo bo vstalo iz Izraela in udarilo bo Moábove vogale in uničilo vse Setove otroke.
18 And he shall possess Idumea: the inheritance of Seir shall come to their enemies, but Israel shall do manfully.
Edóm bo posest, tudi Seír bo posest za svoje sovražnike, Izrael pa bo delal junaško.
19 Out of Jacob shall he come that shall rule, and shall destroy the remains of the city.
Iz Jakoba bo prišel tisti, ki bo imel gospostvo in uničil bo tistega, ki preostaja iz mesta.‹«
20 And when he saw Amalec, he took up his parable, and said: Amalec the beginning of nations, whose latter ends shall be destroyed.
Ko je pogledal na Amáleka, je vzel njegovo prispodobo ter rekel: »Amálek je bil prvi izmed narodov, toda njegov zadnji konec bo, da bo uničen na veke.«
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,
Pogledal je na Kenéjce in vzel njegovo prispodobo ter rekel: »Trdno je tvoje bivališče in svoje gnezdo postavljaš v skalo.
22 And thou be chosen of the stock of Cin, how long shalt thou be able to continue? For Assur shall take thee captive.
Vendar bo Kenéjec opustošen, dokler te Asúr ne bo odvedel ujetega.«
23 And taking up his parable, again he said: Alas, who shall live when God shall do these things?
Vzel je njegovo prispodobo in rekel: »Ojoj, kdo bo živel, ko Bog to dela!
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.
Ladje bodo prišle iz pokrajin Kitéjcev in prizadele Asúr in Eber in tudi on bo uničen na veke.«
25 And Balaam rose, and returned to his place: Balac also returned the way that he came.
Bileám je vstal, odšel in se vrnil na svoj kraj in tudi Balák je odšel svojo pot.
