< Numbers 23 >

1 And Balaam sayd vnto Balak, Builde me here seuen altars, and prepare me here seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes.
Balaam loh Balak taengah, “He ah he kai ham hmueihtuk parhih suem lamtah he ah he kai ham vaito pumrhih neh tutal pumrhih han tawn,” a ti nah.
2 And Balak did as Balaam sayd, and Balak and Balaam offred on euery altar a bullocke and a ramme.
Balaam kah a thui bangla Balak loh a saii tangloeng tih Balak neh Balaam loh hmueihtuk dongah vaito neh tutal te a paan puei.
3 Then Balaam sayde vnto Balak, Stande by the burnt offring, and I will goe, if so be that the Lord will come and meete me: and whatsoeuer he sheweth me, I will tell thee: so he went forth alone.
Te phoeiah Balaam loh Balak te, “Namah kah hmueihhlutnah taengah ana pai lamtah ka caeh vaengah kai doe hamla BOEIPA loh m'mah khaming. Kai taengah mebang ol ham phoe akhaw nang taengah ka puen bitni,” a ti nah tih caphoei cuk la cet.
4 And God met Balaam, and Balaam sayd vnto him, I haue prepared seuen altars, and haue offred vpon euery altar a bullocke and a ramme.
Pathen loh Balaam te ana mah tangloeng tih a taengah, “Hmueihtuk parhih ka hol tih hmueihtuk soah vaito neh tutal ka tloeng coeng,” a ti nah.
5 And the Lord put an answere in Balaams mouth, and sayde, Go againe to Balak, and say on this wise.
BOEIPA loh Balaam kah ka ah ol a khueh phoeiah tah, “Balak taengla mael lamtah he he thui pah,” a ti nah.
6 So when he returned vnto him, loe, hee stoode by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
Te dongah anih te a mael hatah a hmueihhlutnah taengah amah neh Moab mangpa tom te tarha pai uh.
7 Then he vttered his parable, and sayde, Balak the king of Moab hath brought mee from Aram out of the mountaines of the East, saying, Come, curse Iaakob for my sake: come, and detest Israel.
Te phoeiah a thuidoeknah a poh tih, “Khothoeng tlang lamkah Moab manghai Balak loh kai he Aram lamloh m'mawt tih, ‘Halo laeh, kai yueng la Jakob te thaephoei thil laeh, halo laeh, Israel te kosisah thil,’ a ti.
8 How shall I curse, where God hath not cursed? or howe shall I detest, where the Lord hath not detested?
Pathen loh a tap pawt te metlam ka tap vetih, BOEIPA loh kosi a hong pawt ah metlam kosi ka hong eh?
9 For from the top of the rocks I did see him, and from the hils I did beholde him: lo, the people shall dwell by themselues, and shall not be reckened among the nations.
Lungpang soi lamloh amah te ka hmuh tih som rhoek lamloh amah te ka mae. Pilnam he bueng he kho a sak tih namtom khuiah ana moeh moenih.
10 Who can tell the dust of Iaakob, and the nomber of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last ende be like his.
Jakob laipi neh Israel hlopli kah hlangmi te unim aka tae thai? Ka hinglu khaw aka thuem kah dueknah dongah duek saeh lamtah ka hmailong khaw amah la om saeh,” a ti.
11 Then Balak saide vnto Balaam, What hast thou done vnto mee? I tooke thee to curse mine enemies, and beholde, thou hast blessed them altogether.
Te vaengah Balak loh Balaam te, “Kai taengah balae na saii, ka thunkha tap ham nang kan loh dae yoethen la yoethen na paek coeng he,” a ti nah.
12 And he answered, and said, Must I not take heede to speake that, which the Lord hath put in my mouth?
Te dongah a doo tih, “BOEIPA amah loh ka ka a khueh te thui ham ka ngaithuen mahpawt nim?” a ti nah.
13 And Balak sayde vnto him, Come, I pray thee, with mee vnto another place, whence thou mayest see them, and thou shalt see but the vtmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: therefore curse them out of that place for my sake.
Te dongah amah te Balak loh, “Kamah neh hmuen tloe la cet khaw cet mai mai sih. Te ah ni amah te na hmuh thai eh, he lamlong tah a hmoi ni dawk na hmuh dae a cungkuem na hmuh moenih. Te dongah ke lamloh kai yueng la anih te tap laeh,” a ti nah.
14 And he brought him into Sede-sophim to the top of Pisgah, and built seuen altars, and offred a bullocke, and a ramme on euery altar.
Te phoeiah anih te Pisgah somtung kah Zophim khohmuen la a khuen. Te vaengah hmueihtuk parhih a suem tih hmueihtuk soah vaito neh tutal a nawn.
15 After, he sayde vnto Balak, Stande here by thy burnt offring, and I wil meete the Lord yonder.
Te phoeiah Balak te, “Kai ke la ka pawk vaengah namah kah hmueihhlutnah taengah he ana pai,” a ti nah.
16 And the Lord mette Balaam, and put an answere in his mouth, and sayd, Goe againe vnto Balak, and say thus.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Balaam te a mah tih a ka dongah ol a sang pah phoeiah, “Balak taengah mael lamtah he he thui pah,” a ti nah.
17 And when he came to him, beholde, hee stoode by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him: so Balak sayde vnto him, What hath the Lord sayd?
Te phoeiah a taengla a mael hatah anih kah hmueihhlutnah taengah amah kah Moab mangpa rhoek khaw tarha ana pai uh. Te vaengah Balak loh anih te, “BOEIPA loh balae a thui,” a ti nah.
18 And he vttered his parable, and sayde, Rise vp, Balak, and heare: hearken vnto me, thou sonne of Zippor.
Te dongah a thuidoeknah te a poh tih, “Balak aw thoo lamtah hnatun lah, Zippor capa khaw kai taengla hnakaeng lah.
19 God is not as man, that he should lie, neither as the sonne of man that he shoulde repent: hath he sayde and shall he not do it? and hath he spoken, and shall he not accomplish it?
Pathen tah laithae hlang pawt tih hlang capa bangla dam a ti a? A ti coeng phoeiah a saii moenih a? A thui phoeiah a thoh puei moenih a?
20 Behold, I haue receiued commandement to blesse: for he hath blessed, and I cannot alter it.
Yoethen paek ham ka dang dongah a yoethen coeng tih ka yueh thai moenih ne.
21 Hee seeth none iniquitie in Iaakob, nor seeth no transgression in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the ioyfull shoute of a king is among them.
Jakob khuiah boethae te paelki pawt tih Israel khuiah thakthaenah a hmuh moenih. A Pathen YAHWEH tah a taengah om tih a khui ah manghai kah tamlung la a om pah.
22 God brought them out of Egypt: their strength is as an vnicorne.
Pathen loh amih te Egypt lamloh amah taengah cung ki bangla a khuen.
23 For there is no sorcerie in Iaakob, nor soothsaying in Israel: according to this time it shalbe sayde of Iaakob and of Israel, What hath God wrought?
Jakob te lung loh a noeng moenih, Israel te bihma loh a noeng moenih. Pathen loh Jakob neh Israel ham mebang a saii khaw a tue van vaengah a thui.
24 Behold, the people shall rise vp as a lyon, and lift vp himselfe as a yong lyon: hee shall not lye downe, till he eate of the pray, and till he drinke the blood of the slayne.
Pilnam te sathuengnu bangla a thoh tih sathueng bangla a kuel. Maeh a ngaeh tih salaem thii a ok duela yalh tlaih pawh,” a ti nah.
25 Then Balak sayde vnto Balaam, Neither curse, nor blesse them at all.
Te dongah Balak loh Balaam te, “Anih tap ham khaw tap boel lamtah yoethen sak ham khaw anih te yoethen pae boeh,” a ti nah.
26 But Balaam answered, and saide vnto Balak, Tolde not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speaketh, that must I do?
Balaam loh a doo tih Balak taengah, “Thui ham koi te nang taengah kan thui moenih a? A cungkuem dongah BOEIPA kah a thui te ni ka saii eh,” a ti nah.
27 Againe Balak sayd vnto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I wil bring thee vnto another place, if so be it wil please God, that thou mayest thence curse them for my sake.
Te phoeiah Balak loh Balaam taengah, “Cet mai dae sih, hmuen tloe la nang kang khuen saeh lamtah Pathen mik ah thuem mai khaming. Te lamloh kai yueng la anih te tap mai,” a ti nah.
28 So Balak brought Balaam vnto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Ieshmon.
Te dongah Balak loh Balaam te khopong hmai la aka dan Peor somtung la a khuen.
29 Then Balaam sayde vnto Balak, Make me here seuen altars, and prepare me here seuen bullocks, and seuen rammes.
Balaam loh Balak te, “He ah he kai ham hmueihtuk parhih suem lamtah he ah he kai ham vaito pumrhih neh tutal pumrhih han tawn,” a ti nah.
30 And Balak did as Balaam had sayd, and offred a bullocke and a ram on euery altar.
Te dongah Balaam kah a thui bangla Balak loh a ngai tih vaito neh tutal hmueihtuk soah a nawn.
