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.
Vendo Balaão que bem parecia aos olhos do Senhor que abençoasse a Israel, não se foi esta vez como d'antes ao encontro dos encantamentos: mas poz o seu rosto para o deserto.
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.
E, levantando Balaão os seus olhos, e vendo a Israel, que habitava segundo as suas tribus, veiu sobre elle o Espirito de Deus.
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:
E alçou a sua parabola, e disse: Falla, Balaão, filho de Beor, e falla o homem d'olhos abertos;
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:
Falla aquelle que ouviu os ditos de Deus, o que vê a visão do Todo-poderoso caido em extasis e d'olhos abertos:
5 How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, and your tabernacles, O Israel!
Que boas são as tuas tendas, ó Jacob! as tuas moradas ó Israel.
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.
Como ribeiros se estendam, como jardins ao pé dos rios: como arvores de sandalo o Senhor os plantou, como cedros junto ás aguas,
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.
De seus baldes manarão aguas, e a sua semente estará em muitas aguas: e o seu rei se exalçará mais do que Agag, e o seu reino será levantado.
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.
Deus o tirou do Egypto; as suas forças são como as do unicornio: consumirá as gentes, seus inimigos, e quebrará seus ossos, e com as suas settas os atravessará.
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.
Encurvou-se, deitou-se como leão, e como leoa: quem o despertará? bemditos os que te abençoarem, e malditos os que te amaldiçoarem.
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.
Então a ira de Balac se accendeu contra Balaão, e bateu elle as suas palmas: e Balac disse a Balaão: Para amaldiçoar os meus inimigos te tenho chamado; porém agora já tres vezes os abençoaste inteiramente.
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.
Agora pois foge para o ten logar: eu tinha dito que te honraria grandemente; mas eis que o Senhor te privou d'esta honra.
12 And Balaam said to Balak, Spoke I not also to your messengers which you sent to me, saying,
Então Balaão disse a Balac: Não fallei eu tambem aos teus mensageiros, que me enviaste, dizendo:
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?
Ainda que Balac me désse a sua casa cheia de prata e oiro, não posso traspassar o mandado do Senhor, fazendo bem ou mal de meu proprio coração: o que o Senhor fallar, isso fallarei eu.
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.
Agora pois eis que me vou ao meu povo: vem, avisar-te-hei do que este povo fará ao teu povo nos ultimos dias.
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:
Então alçou a sua parabola, e disse: Falla Balaão, filho de Beor, e falla o homem d'olhos abertos;
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:
Falla aquelle que ouviu os ditos de Deus, e o que sabe a sciencia do Altissimo: o que viu a visão do Todo Poderoso, caido em extasis, e d'olhos abertos:
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.
Vel-o-hei, mas não agora contemplal-o-hei mas não de perto: uma estrella procederá de Jacob, e um sceptro subirá de Israel, que ferirá os termos dos moabitas, e destruirá todos os filhos de Seth.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
E Edom será uma possessão, e Seir tambem será uma possessão hereditaria para os seus inimigos: pois Israel fará proezas.
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remains of the city.
E dominará um de Jacob, e matará os que restam das cidades.
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.
E vendo os amalequitas, alçou a sua parabola, e disse: Amalek é o primeiro das gentes; porém o seu fim será para perdição.
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.
E vendo os quenitas, alçou a sua parabola, e disse: Firme está a tua habitação, e pozeste o teu ninho na penha.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry you away captive.
Todavia o quenita será consumido, até que Assur te leve por prisioneiro.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God does this!
E, alçando ainda a sua parabola, disse: Ai, quem viverá, quando Deus fizer isto?
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.
E as naus das costas de Chittim affligirão a Assur; tambem affligirão a Heber; e tambem elle será para perdição.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
Então Balaão levantou-se, e foi-se, e voltou ao seu logar, e tambem Balac foi-se pelo seu caminho.
