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,
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 as he looked at Israel camped there according to their respective tribes, the Spirit of God came on 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 gave a declaration, saying:
Vzel je njegovo prispodobo in rekel: »Bileám, Beórjev sin, je rekel in mož, katerega oči so odprte, je rekel.
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.
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 well set out your tents are, Jacob; the places where you live, Israel!
Kako ljubki so tvoji šotori, oh Jakob in tvoja šotorska svetišča, oh Izrael!
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.
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 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.
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 led them out of Egypt with great power, as strong as an ox, destroying enemy nations, breaking their bones, piercing 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 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.”
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 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.
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 Leave right now! Go home! I promised to pay you well, but the Lord has made sure you wouldn't receive any payment.”
Zato sedaj pobegni k svojemu kraju, Mislil sem te povišati k veliki časti; toda glej, Gospod te je zadržal pred častjo.«
12 But Balaam said to Balak, “Didn't I already explain to the messengers you sent
Bileám je rekel Baláku: »Mar nisem govoril tudi tvojim poslancem, ki si jih pošiljal k meni, rekoč:
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.
›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 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.”
In sedaj glej, grem k svojemu ljudstvu. Pridi torej in oznanil ti bom, kaj bo to ljudstvo storilo tvojemu ljudstvu v zadnjih dneh.«
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
Vzel je njegovo prispodobo in rekel: »Bileám, Beórjev sin, je rekel in mož, katerega oči so odprte, je rekel:
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.
›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 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.
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 The country of Edom will be conquered, his enemy Seir will be conquered, and the Israelites will be victorious.
Edóm bo posest, tudi Seír bo posest za svoje sovražnike, Izrael pa bo delal junaško.
19 A ruler from Jacob will come and destroy those left in the city.”
Iz Jakoba bo prišel tisti, ki bo imel gospostvo in uničil bo tistega, ki preostaja iz mesta.‹«
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.”
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 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.
Pogledal je na Kenéjce in vzel njegovo prispodobo ter rekel: »Trdno je tvoje bivališče in svoje gnezdo postavljaš v skalo.
22 But Kain will be burned down when Assyria conquers you.”
Vendar bo Kenéjec opustošen, dokler te Asúr ne bo odvedel ujetega.«
23 Then Balaam gave another declaration, saying, “It's a tragedy! Who can survive when God does this?
Vzel je njegovo prispodobo in rekel: »Ojoj, kdo bo živel, ko Bog to dela!
24 Ships will be sent from Cyprus to attack Assyria and Eber, but they too will be permanently destroyed.”
Ladje bodo prišle iz pokrajin Kitéjcev in prizadele Asúr in Eber in tudi on bo uničen na veke.«
25 Then Balaam left and returned to his own country, and Balak left too.
Bileám je vstal, odšel in se vrnil na svoj kraj in tudi Balák je odšel svojo pot.
