Numbers 24
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
A IKE iho la o Balaama, ua lealea o Iehova i ka hoomaikai aku i ka Iseraela, aole ia i hele hou aku e like mamua e imi i na kilokilo ana; aka, haliu ae la ia i kona maka ma ka waonahele.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling tribe by tribe; and the spirit of God came upon him.
Alawa ae la na maka o Balaama iluna, ike ae la i ka Iseraela e hoomoana ana ma ko lakou mau ohana; a kau mai la ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna ona.
3 And he took up his parable, and said: The saying of Balaam the son of Beor, and the saying of the man whose eye is opened;
Hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, O ka wanana a Balaama a ke keiki a Beora, O ka wanana a ke kanaka i hookaakaaia kona mau maka:
4 The saying of him who heareth the words of God, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, fallen down, yet with opened eyes:
Ka wanana a ka mea i lohe i na olelo a ke Akua, A ka mea i ike i ka Mea mana ma ka hihio; E moe ana ilalo, a e kaakaa ana kona mau maka:
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, thy dwellings, O Israel!
Nani ka maikai o na halelole ou, e Iakoba! O kou mau halelewa hoi, e Iseraela!
6 As valleys stretched out, as gardens by the river-side; as aloes planted of the LORD, as cedars beside the waters;
E like me na awawa ko lakou palahalaha ana, E like hoi me na mahinaai ma kapa muliwai, Me na laau aloe hoi a Iehova i kanu ai, A me na laau kedera ma kapa o na wai.
7 Water shall flow from his branches, and his seed shall be in many waters; and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
E kahe ana ka wai mailoko ae o kona mau bakeke, A ma na wai he nui kona hua kanu; E kiekie ae hoi kona alii maluna o Agaga, A e hookiekieia'e kona aupuni.
8 God who brought him forth out of Egypt is for him like the lofty horns of the wild-ox; he shall eat up the nations that are his adversaries, and shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them through with his arrows.
Na ke Akua ia i kai mai nei, mai Aigupita mai; Ia ia hoi ka ikaika me he reema la; E ai iho oia i na lahuikanaka i kona poe enemi, A e uhai ia i ko lakou mau iwi, E houia hoi lakou i kana mau pua.
9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be every one that blesseth thee, and cursed be every one that curseth thee.
Ua kukuli iho ia, ua moe iho me he lionakane la, A me ka lionawahine; nawai la ia e hoala'e? E pomaikai ka mea hoomaikai ia oe, A e poino ka mea hoino aku ia oe.
10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said unto Balaam: 'I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
Ua hoaia ka inaina o Balaka ia Balaama, a pai pu na lima ona: i mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Ua kii aku no wau ia oe no ka hoino aku i kuu poe enemi; aia hoi, eia ke kolu o kou hoomaikai wale ana aku.
11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place; I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.'
Nolaila, e holo aku oe i kou wahi: i manao iho la au e hoohanohano loa aku ia oe; aka hoi, o Iehova ka i keakea mai ia oe i loaa ole ai ka hanohano.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Spoke I not also to thy messengers that thou didst send unto me, saying:
Olelo mai la o Balaama ia Balaka, Aole anei au i olelo aku i ka poe elele au i hoouna at io'u la, i ka i ana aku,
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; what the LORD speaketh, that will I speak?
Ina e haawi mai o Balaka i ko kala a me ke gula a piha kona hale, ina aole e hiki ia'u ke hoohala i ka olelo a Iehova, e hana i ka maikai, aole hoi i ka hewa ma kuu manao iho: o ka Iehova e olelo mai ai, oia ka'u e hai aku ai?
14 And now, behold, I go unto my people; come, and I will announce to thee what this people shall do to thy people in the end of days.'
Ano hoi, ke hoi aku nei au i ko'u poe kanaka: ea, e hai e aku no au ia oe i ka mea a keia poe kanaka e hana mai ai i kou poe kanaka i na la mahope.
15 And he took up his parable, and said: The saying of Balaam the son of Beor, and the saying of the man whose eye is opened;
Hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, O ka wanana a Balaama ke keiki a Beora, Ka wanana a ke kanaka i hookaakaaia'e kona maka;
16 The saying of him who heareth the words of God, and knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, fallen down, yet with opened eyes:
Ka wanana a ka mea i lohe i ka olelo a ke Akua, A ka mea ike i ka mea ikea o ka Mea kiekie, A ka mea nana i ka mea ikea o ka Mea mana loa, E moe iho ana, a e kaakaa ana kona mau maka:
17 I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not nigh; there shall step forth a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of Seth.
E ike auanei au ia ia, aole hoi ano, E nana auanei au ia ia, aole hoi e kokoke: E puka mai auanei he Hoku mai o Iakoba mai, E ku mai ana no hoi he Kookoo mai o Iseraela mai; A e luku aku no ia i na kihi o Moaba, A e pepehi iho ia i na keiki hoohaunaele a pau.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also, even his enemies, shall be a possession; while Israel doeth valiantly.
E lilo o Edoma i wahi E noho ai, A e lilo o Seira i wahi e noho ai no kona poe enemi: A e hana ikaika no o ka Iseraela.
19 And out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.
Na Iakoba e puka mai auanei ka mea e alii ana, A e luku iho oia i ke koena o ke kulanakanhale.
20 And he looked on Amalek, and took up his parable, and said: Amalek was the first of the nations; but his end shall come to destruction.
Nana aku la hoi oia i ka Ameleka, hai mai la ia i kana olelonane, i mai la, O Ameleka, ke pookela o na lahuikanaka, Aka o kona hope, e make mau loa no oia.
21 And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said: Though firm be thy dwelling-place, and though thy nest be set in the rock;
Nana aku la hoi ia i ka Keni, hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i mai la, Ua paa kou wahi i noho ai, Ua kau aku oe i kou punana maluna o ka pohaku:
22 Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted; How long? Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
Aka, e laweia'ku ka Keni, ahea la E lawe pio aku o Asuria ia oe?
23 And he took up his parable, and said: Alas, who shall live after God hath appointed him?
Hai aku la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, Auwe! owai la uanei ke ola i ka wa e hana mai ai ke Akua i keia?
24 But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim, and they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall come to destruction.
Mai kauwahi mai o Kitima mai, na moku, A e hoopilikia lakou i ko Asuria, A e hoopilikia hoi i ka Hebera, A e luku loa ia'ku oia.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
Ku ae la o Balaama, hele aku la ia, a hoi aku la i kona wahi; a hele aku la hoi o Balaka i kona aoao.
