Numbers 24
1 When Balaam saw that the Lord wanted to bless Israel, he chose not to use divination as he had previously. Instead he turned towards the desert,
Balaam Israel mite phatthei aboh leh Pathen a lunglhai chu ahet phat chun phat dang laiya bang’in doithu ho mangcha din aki go ta pon, gamthip lam agal vet e.
2 and as he looked at Israel camped there according to their respective tribes, the Spirit of God came on him.
Hitia Balaam a dadoh a avetpet chun Israel mite ama phung cheh a akigol u-chu amu tan chu in Pathen lhagao chu Balaam chung ah ahung chu tan ahi.
3 He gave a declaration, saying:
Hichun Balaam in akam akehdoh in asei pan tai. Beor chapa Balaam in asei doh ho; kho kimusah pa thusei dohho;
4 “This is the prophecy of Balaam, son of Beor, the prophecy of a man who sees with eyes are wide open, the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who sees the vision given by Almighty, who bows down in respect with open eyes.
Pathen thupeh awgin japa chun, hatchung-nung gaova muthei pa, Ama angsung a bohkhup a amit-ha let-sah pa:
5 How well set out your tents are, Jacob; the places where you live, Israel!
Vo Jacob na ponbuh hohi iti hoiya hitam mo! O Israel na inpi ho lungset aum tangeije.
6 They look like wooded valleys, like gardens beside a river, like aloe trees the Lord has planted, like cedars at the water's edge.
Palm thingna hing dildel bang leh luipang a honlei kisem bang in a kijao-jahdeh jeng in; Pakaiyin a phudoh sa, Vadung pang’a keh Cedar phungho to abang jeng’e.
7 The Israelites will pour out bucketfuls of water; their descendants will have plenty of water. Their king will be greater than King Agag; their kingdom will be glorious.
A twibel akon twi hing hung putdoh intin; a chilhah hon angaichat jouse anei uve. A lengpa’u jong Agag sang in thupi jo in, a lenggam’u jong ki domsang ding ahi.
8 God led them out of Egypt with great power, as strong as an ox, destroying enemy nations, breaking their bones, piercing them with arrows.
Pathen chun Eygpt a kon ahin pui doh ahi; Ama thahatna chu Gam-bong hangsan tah abangin, Amaho douvah nam jouse avallhum sohtan, agu achang jouseu asuh boh pih in, athalpi hattah chun a kap ji.
9 They are like a lion that crouches and lies down. They are like a lioness that nobody dares to disturb. Those who bless you will be blessed; those who curse you will be cursed.”
Keipi bang chan Israel ten alonvuh un, alo tauve; Koiham amaho suthou ngam ding’a chu? Vo Israel nangma na phatthei ho chu ahampha uvin, Nangma na gaosap ho chu avangse ahiuve.
10 Balak got angry with Balaam, and beat his fists together. He told Balaam, “I brought you here to curse my enemies, and now look! You keep on blessing them, doing it three times.
Hichun Balak chu Balaam chunga hatah in alung hang tan Balak in Balaam khut teni chu a volhan chuin Balak in Balaam kom mah hitin asei tai, keiman ka melmate gaosap ding a kakou nahin nangman lolhing tah a thumvei phatthei naboh joh ahitai.
11 Leave right now! Go home! I promised to pay you well, but the Lord has made sure you wouldn't receive any payment.”
Tun nangma na gam lamah kinungle kit tan, keiman nangma hi loupi tah a jabol ding tia kana seidoh ahin, dih tah a sei ding in Pathen in thupitah a nachen na ding ah kon in na tum chondoh joh ahi tai.
12 But Balaam said to Balak, “Didn't I already explain to the messengers you sent
Hichu Balaam in Balak kom ah asei tan keiman a solchah pa komma ka na seipeh hita lou ham? Keima henga nahin solpa heng lamma chu, ati.
13 that even if you gave me your whole palace full of silver and gold, I couldn't do anything I wanted or disobey the command of the Lord my God in any way? I can only say what the Lord tells me.
Balaam chun aseiyin sana le dangka insung dimset eikipe jongle keima Pathen thupeh kalval ah ka che be theipoi ati thilpha bol ding chu kakin ahin, keima dei bang tah in ka chal thei poi. Pathen in ei houlimpi ho chu keiman ka sei doh ngai ahi.
14 Listen! I'm going back home now to my own people, but first let me warn you what these Israelites are going to do to your people in the future.”
Chule tua jong keima dihtah a sei ding ahileh kanam ka insung mite lah a che ding ka hitai, hung tan keiman ka sei peh nahi hiche mipi teho hin nangma mite nam lentah chunga ahin bol diu khonung teng Balaam in gaova thusei livei na chan chu hiding ahi.
15 Then Balaam gave a declaration, saying, “This is the prophecy of Balaam, son of Beor, the prophecy of a man whose eyes are wide open
Hichun Balak hin athu lhun bu chu aki lah in hitin asei tan, Balaam chapan hitin a seije pasal koi tabang khovah muthei hon hitin aseiye, ati.
16 the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who receives knowledge from the Most High, who sees the vision given by Almighty, who bows down in respect with open eyes.
Balak in hitin aseijin Pathen thu chu aja tauvin chungnung penna thujong aja tauvin ahi. Chungnung penna gaothu mitphel in ahung lhung tan ahin amit chun kho amutan ahi.
17 I see him, but this isn't now. I observe him, but this isn't close at hand. In the future a leader like a star will come from Jacob, a ruler with a scepter will come to power from Israel. He will crush the heads of the Moabites, and destroy all the people of Seth.
Ama chu ka ven hinlah ka mu theipoi, amavang Jacob apatna valpa khang hung doh ding ahi. Israel la patna tenggol khat hunngpeng doh ding chule Moab te aning keh ajep chip ding Tumelt chate asuh gam ding ahiye.
18 The country of Edom will be conquered, his enemy Seir will be conquered, and the Israelites will be victorious.
Sedom jong toupha a um ding Seir doupa jong toupha a umding ahi. Amavang Israel chu thahat cheh ding ahi.
19 A ruler from Jacob will come and destroy those left in the city.”
Jacob a patna hung ding jahda chun thaneina anei tah ding hiche khopi a amapa umjing nalaipa chu suhgam’a um ding ahiye.
20 Balaam turned his attention to the Amalekites and gave this declaration about them, saying, “Amalek was first among the nations, but they will end up being destroyed.”
Chuin Balak in Amalekte techu aven Amalekte mite chu nam lah a amasa loi pentah ahin, amahi athini geiya anu khah penna pang ding ahi.
21 He turned his attention to the Kenites and gave this declaration about them, saying, “Where you live is safe and secure, like a nest on a cliff-face.
Chuin Balak in Mitbah Oraeh chu aki lah kit tan chu in hitin asei tai nangma pansat nahi ada tangeiye ati.
22 But Kain will be burned down when Assyria conquers you.”
Nangma Cannan mite jong suhmanga na um ding Asshur ten soh changa nangma na koi ding ahi.
23 Then Balaam gave another declaration, saying, “It's a tragedy! Who can survive when God does this?
Hichun Balak in gaova aseitan, Oh hitobang tah a hi Pathen in na atoh le koi cheng jou ding hinam?
24 Ships will be sent from Cyprus to attack Assyria and Eber, but they too will be permanently destroyed.”
Chuin twikong ahung kipat doh tan amaho chun Assyria mite chule Eber chu ahopa uvin, amaho jong chu suhmang a um ding ahiuve, ati.
25 Then Balaam left and returned to his own country, and Balak left too.
chujouvin Balaam in adalhan a inlamma akiletan, chuleh Balak jong achi nading lampi ah achitan ahi.
