Numbers 24
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई आशिष् दिन नै रुचाउनुहुन्छ भन्ने जब बालामले देखे, तिनी अरू बेलाझैँ टुनामुना गर्नलाई गएनन् । बरु, तिनले मरुभूमितिर हेरे ।
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came on him.
तिनले आँखा खोलेर इस्राएल कुल-कुल गरी आ-आफ्नो छाउनीमा देखे र परमेश्वरका आत्मा तिनीमाथि आयो ।
3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said:
तिनले यो अगमवाणी पाए र भने, “बओरका छोरा बालाम बोल्न लाग्दै छ, जुन मानिसका आँखा खुला छन्, त्यसका वाणी ।
4 He has said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
तिनले परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्छ र बोल्छ । त्यसले सर्वशक्तिमान्बाट दर्शन प्राप्त गर्छ, जसको सामु त्यसले आँखा खुला राखेर दण्डवत् गर्छ ।
5 How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, and your tabernacles, O Israel!
हे याकूब, तिम्रा पालहरू र तिमी बस्ने ठाउँ कति सुन्दर छन्!
6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD has planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
तिनीहरू उपत्यकाझैँ, नदी किनारको बगैँचाझैँ, परमप्रभुले रोप्नुभएको एलवाहरूजस्तै र पानी छेउका देवदारुजस्तै फैलिएका छन् ।
7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
तिनीहरूका गाग्राहरूबाट पानी बग्छ र तिनीहरूका बिउहरू सुसिंचित छन् । तिनीहरूका राजा अगागभन्दा उच्च छन् र तिनीहरूका राज्यलाई आदर गरिने छ ।
8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he has as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
परमेश्वरले तिनलाई मिश्रबाट जङ्गली साँढेको जस्तै सामर्थ्यमा ल्याउनुहुन्छ । तिनले त्यसको विरुद्ध लड्ने जातिहरूलाई निल्छन् । तिनले तिनीहरूका हड्डीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्ने छन् । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना वाणहरूले हान्छन् ।
9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesses you, and cursed is he that curses you.
तिनले सिंह, सिंहनीझै ढुक्छन् । तिनलाई उठाउने कसको आँट छ र? तिनलाई आशिष् दिने सबै आशिषित्् होऊन्; तिनलाई सराप दिने सबै श्रापित होऊन् ।”
10 And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.
बालाकको क्रोध बालामप्रति उर्लियो र तिनले आफ्ना हात ठटाए । बालाकले बालामलाई भने, “मैले मेरा शत्रुहरूलाई सराप दिन तपाईंलाई बोलाएँ, तर तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई तिन पटकसम्म आशिष् दिनुभयो ।
11 Therefore now flee you to your place: I thought to promote you to great honor; but, see, the LORD has kept you back from honor.
त्यसैले अहिले नै गइहाल्नुहोस् । मैले तपाईंलाई भव्य इनाम दिन्छु भनेको थिएँ, तर परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई इनाम पाउनबाट वञ्चित गर्नुभएको छ ।”
12 And Balaam said to Balak, Spoke I not also to your messengers which you sent to me, saying,
त्यसपछि बालामले बालाकलाई जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंले मकहाँ पठाउनुभएका सन्देशवाहकहरूलाई भने,
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of my own mind; but what the LORD says, that will I speak?
'बालाकलाई चाँदी र सुनले भरिएको तिनको दरबार नै दिए पनि, म परमप्रभुको बाहिर मैले चाहेको असल वा खराब कुनै पनि कुरा गर्न सक्दिनँ । म परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुहुने कुरा मात्र बताउन सक्छु ।' के मैले तिनीहरूलाई यो कुरा भनेको थिइनँ र?
14 And now, behold, I go to my people: come therefore, and I will advertise you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.
त्यसैले अब म मेरा मानिसहरूकहाँ फर्केर जाने छु । तर यी मानिसहरूले तपाईंका मानिसहरूलाई आगामी दिनहरूमा के गर्ने छन् पहिले तपाईंलाई चेताउनी दिन दिनुहोस् ।”
15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said:
बालामले अगमवाणी गर्न थाले, “बओरका छोरा बालाम भन्छ, त्यो मानिस जसको आँखा खुला छन्, त्यसको वाणी ।
16 He has said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
यो परमेश्वरको वचन सुन्नेको व्यक्तिको अगमवाणी हो, जससँग सर्वोच्चको ज्ञान छ, जससँग सर्वशक्तिमान्बाट आएको दर्शन छ, जसले उहाँको सामु खुला आँखाले दण्डवत् गर्छ ।
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
म उहाँलाई देख्छु, तर उहाँ अहिले यहाँ हुनुहुन्न । म उहाँलाई हेर्छु, तर उहाँ नजिक हुनुहुन्न । याकूबबाट एउटा तारा निस्की आउने छ र इस्राएलबाट राजदण्डको उदय हुने छ । तिनले मोआबका अगुवाहरूलाई चकनाचुर पार्ने छन् र शेथका सबै सन्तानलाई नष्ट पार्नेछन् ।
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
त्यसपछि एदोम इस्राएलको सम्पत्ति बन्ने छ र सेइर इस्राएलको अधीनमा हुने छ इस्राएलका शत्रुहरू जसलाई इस्राएलले बलले जित्नेछ ।
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remains of the city.
याकूबबाट एउटा राजा आउने छ जसले शासन गर्ने छ र तिनले तिनीहरूका सहरहरूका बाँचेकाहरूलाई नष्ट पार्ने छन् ।”
20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
त्यसपछि बालामले अमालेकतिर हेरे र अगमवाणी गर्न थाले, “अमालेक एक पटक जातिहरूमध्ये सबैभन्दा ठुलो थियो, तर त्यसको अन्त विनाश हुने छ ।”
21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is your dwelling place, and you put your nest in a rock.
अनि बालामले केनीहरूतिर हेरे र अगमवाणी गर्न थाले, “तिमीहरू बस्ने ठाउँ बलियो छ र तिमीहरूका गुँड चट्टान हुने छ ।
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry you away captive.
तथापि अश्शूरले तिमीहरूलाई कैद गरेर लाँदा तिमीहरू आगोले नष्ट हुने छौ ।
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God does this!
बालामले तिनको अन्तिम अगमवाणी भने, “धिक्कार! परमेश्वरले यसो गर्नुहुँदा कोचाँहि बाँच्छ?
24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
कित्तीमको समुद्री तटबाट जहाजहरू आउने छन्; तिनीहरूले अश्शूरलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् र एबेरमाथि विजय हासिल गर्ने छन्, तर तिनीहरू अन्त पनि विनाशमा नै हुने छन् ।
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
त्यसपछि बालाम उठे र हिँडे । तिनी आफ्नै घरतिर फर्के र बालाक पनि गए ।
