Numbers 24
1 When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to blesse Israel, then he went not, as certaine times before, to set diuinations, but set his face toward the wildernesse.
Nzokande, tango Balami amonaki ete Yawe azalaki kaka na esengo ya kopambola Isalaele, alukaki lisusu bimoniseli te ndenge azalaki kosala na bambala mosusu, kasi abalolaki elongi na ye na esobe.
2 And Balaam lift vp his eyes, and looked vpon Israel, which dwelt according to their tribes, and the Spirit of God came vpon him.
Tango Balami atalaki, amonaki Isalaele bavanda na milako na bango, bato na bato na libota na bango. Molimo na Nzambe ayaki likolo na ye;
3 And he vttered his parable, and sayd, Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, and the man, whose eyes were shut vp, hath sayd,
mpe akomaki koloba maloba oyo: « Tala maloba ya Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori, maloba ya moto oyo miso na ye emonaka polele,
4 He hath sayde, which heard the wordes of God, and sawe the vision of the Almightie, and falling in a traunce had his eyes opened:
maloba ya moto oyo ayokaka maloba ya Nzambe, oyo amonaka bimoniseli oyo ewutaka epai ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, oyo miso na ye efungwamaka soki akweyi na molimo:
5 How goodly are thy tentes, O Iaakob, and thine habitations, O Israel!
‹ Oh Jakobi, tala ndenge bandako na yo ya kapo ezali kitoko, mpe bisika oyo ovandaka, oh Isalaele!
6 As the valleis, are they stretched forth, as gardes by the riuers side, as the aloe trees, which the Lord hath planted, as the cedars beside the waters.
Epanzana lokola miluka ya mike-mike, lokola bilanga oyo ezalaka pembeni ya ebale, lokola banzete ya aloe oyo Yawe alona, lokola banzete ya sedele pembeni ya mayi.
7 The water droppeth out of his bucket, and his seede shalbe in many waters, and his king shall be hier then Agag, and his kingdome shall bee exalted.
Mayi ekotiola wuta na bibombelo na bango, bankona na bango ekozwa mayi ebele. Mokonzi na bango akozala monene koleka Agagi, bokonzi na bango ekozala ya lokumu.
8 God brought him out of Egypt: his strength shalbe as an vnicorne: he shall eate the nations his enemies, and bruise their bones, and shoote them through with his arrowes.
Nzambe abimisaki bango na Ejipito, bazalaka makasi lokola mpakasa, babebisaka bikolo oyo ebundisaka bango mpe babukaka mikuwa na bango na biteni-biteni, batobolaka yango na makonga na bango.
9 He coucheth and lieth downe as a yong lion, and as a lion: who shall stirre him vp? blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
Bagunzamaka mpe balalaka lokola nkosi ya mobali, lokola nkosi ya mwasi; nani akokoka kotelemisa bango? Tika ete oyo akopambola yo apambolama, mpe oyo akolakela yo mabe alakelama mabe! › »
10 Then Balak was very angry with Balaam, and smote his handes together: so Balak sayde vnto Balaam, I sent for thee to curse mine enemies, and beholde, thou hast blessed them nowe three times.
Balaki atombokelaki Balami makasi. Abetaki maboko na ye mpe alobaki: — Nabengisaki yo mpo ete olakela banguna na ngai mabe, kasi yo opamboli bango mbala misato.
11 Therefore nowe flee vnto thy place: I thought surely to promote thee vnto honour, but loe, the Lord hath kept thee backe from honour.
Yango wana, longwa na miso na ngai mpe zonga na mboka na yo! Nalobaki ete nakopesa yo lifuti ya malamu, kasi Yawe azangisi yo lifuti yango.
12 Then Balaam answered Balak, Tolde I not also thy messengers, which thou sentest vnto me, saying,
Balami azongiselaki Balaki: — Boni, nalobaki te na bantoma oyo otindelaki ngai ete
13 If Balak would giue me his house ful of siluer and gold, I can not passe the commandement of the Lord, to doe either good or bad of mine owne minde? what the Lord shall commaund, the same will I speake.
« Ata soki Balaki apesi ngai palata mpe wolo oyo etondi na ndako na ye, nakosala eloko moko te na mokano na ngai moko, ezala ya malamu to ya mabe, mpo ete nakende libanda ya mitindo na Yawe te. Nasala kaka oyo Yawe alobi. »
14 And nowe behold, I goe vnto my people: come, I will aduertise thee what this people shall doe to thy folke in the later dayes.
Mpe sik’oyo, nazali kozonga na ngai epai ya bato na ngai; kasi yaka, nakokebisa yo na tina na makambo oyo bato oyo bakosala bato na yo na mikolo ekoya.
15 And he vttered his parable, and sayd, Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, and the man whose eyes were shut vp, hath sayd,
Bongo Balami alobaki maloba oyo: « Tala maloba ya Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori, maloba ya moto oyo miso na ye emonaka polele,
16 He hath said that heard the words of God, and hath the knowledge of the most High, and sawe the vision of the Almightie, and falling in a traunce had his eyes opened:
oyo ayokaka maloba na Nzambe, oyo ayebaka basekele ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, oyo azwaka emoniseli kowuta na Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, oyo soki akweyi na molimo, miso na ye efungwamaka:
17 I shall see him, but not nowe: I shall behold him, but not neere: there shall come a starre of Iaakob, and a scepter shall rise of Israel, and shall smite the coastes of Moab, and destroy all the sonnes of Sheth.
‹ Namoni ye, kasi sik’oyo te; natali ye, kasi na pembeni te. Monzoto moko ekobima wuta na Jakobi, mpe lingenda ekobima wuta na Isalaele. Akotobola mito ya bato ya Moabi mpe akoboma bana mibali nyonso ya Seti.
18 And Edom shalbe possessed, and Seir shall be a possession to their enemies: but Israel shall do valiantly.
Bakobotola mokili ya Edomi, bakobotola Seiri, monguna na ye, kasi Isalaele akokoma lisusu makasi koleka.
19 He also that shall haue dominion shall bee of Iaakob, and shall destroy the remnant of the citie.
Mokonzi moko akobima wuta na Jakobi, mpe akoboma batikali nyonso ya engumba. › »
20 And when he looked on Amalek, he vttered his parable, and sayd, Amalek was the first of the nations: but his latter ende shall come to destruction.
Balami amonaki Amaleki mpe alobaki maloba oyo: « Amaleki ezalaki na molongo ya liboso kati na bikolo, kasi ekosuka na libebi. »
21 And he looked on the Kenites, and vttered his parable, and sayde, Strong is thy dwelling place, and put thy nest in the rocke.
Sima, amonaki bato ya Keni mpe alobaki maloba oyo: « Esika na yo ya kovanda ezali makasi, zala na yo ezalaka kati na mabanga;
22 Neuerthelesse, the Kenite shalbe spoyled vntill Asshur cary thee away captiue.
kasi bino bato ya Keni, bokobebisama tango Ashuri akozwa bino lokola bakangami. »
23 Againe he vttered his parable, and sayd, Alas, who shall liue when God doeth this?
Mpe na suka, alobaki maloba oyo: « Oh mawa! Nani akoki kozala na bomoi, wana Nzambe akozala kosala makambo ya boye?
24 The ships also shall come from the coastes of Chittim, and subdue Asshur, and shall subdue Eber, and he also shall come to destruction.
Bamasuwa ekoya wuta na mabongo ya Kitimi, bakonyokola Ashuri mpe Eberi, kasi bango moko mpe bakobebisama. »
25 Then Balaam rose vp, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
Bongo Balami atelemaki mpe azongaki epai na ye, Balaki mpe akendeki na nzela na ye.
