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.
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 Balaam lift vp his eyes, and looked vpon Israel, which dwelt according to their tribes, and the Spirit of God came vpon 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 And he vttered his parable, and sayd, Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, and the man, whose eyes were shut vp, hath sayd,
Vzel je njegovo prispodobo in rekel: »Bileám, Beórjev sin, je rekel in mož, katerega oči so odprte, je rekel.
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:
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 goodly are thy tentes, O Iaakob, and thine habitations, O Israel!
Kako ljubki so tvoji šotori, oh Jakob in tvoja šotorska svetišča, oh Izrael!
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Therefore nowe flee vnto thy place: I thought surely to promote thee vnto honour, but loe, the Lord hath kept thee backe from honour.
Zato sedaj pobegni k svojemu kraju, Mislil sem te povišati k veliki časti; toda glej, Gospod te je zadržal pred častjo.«
12 Then Balaam answered Balak, Tolde I not also thy messengers, which thou sentest vnto me, saying,
Bileám je rekel Baláku: »Mar nisem govoril tudi tvojim poslancem, ki si jih pošiljal k meni, rekoč:
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.
›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 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.
In sedaj glej, grem k svojemu ljudstvu. Pridi torej in oznanil ti bom, kaj bo to ljudstvo storilo tvojemu ljudstvu v zadnjih dneh.«
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,
Vzel je njegovo prispodobo in rekel: »Bileám, Beórjev sin, je rekel in mož, katerega oči so odprte, je rekel:
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:
›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 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.
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 Edom shalbe possessed, and Seir shall be a possession to their enemies: but Israel shall do valiantly.
Edóm bo posest, tudi Seír bo posest za svoje sovražnike, Izrael pa bo delal junaško.
19 He also that shall haue dominion shall bee of Iaakob, and shall destroy the remnant of the citie.
Iz Jakoba bo prišel tisti, ki bo imel gospostvo in uničil bo tistega, ki preostaja iz mesta.‹«
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.
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 And he looked on the Kenites, and vttered his parable, and sayde, Strong is thy dwelling place, and put thy nest in the rocke.
Pogledal je na Kenéjce in vzel njegovo prispodobo ter rekel: »Trdno je tvoje bivališče in svoje gnezdo postavljaš v skalo.
22 Neuerthelesse, the Kenite shalbe spoyled vntill Asshur cary thee away captiue.
Vendar bo Kenéjec opustošen, dokler te Asúr ne bo odvedel ujetega.«
23 Againe he vttered his parable, and sayd, Alas, who shall liue when God doeth this?
Vzel je njegovo prispodobo in rekel: »Ojoj, kdo bo živel, ko Bog to dela!
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.
Ladje bodo prišle iz pokrajin Kitéjcev in prizadele Asúr in Eber in tudi on bo uničen na veke.«
25 Then Balaam rose vp, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
Bileám je vstal, odšel in se vrnil na svoj kraj in tudi Balák je odšel svojo pot.
