Numbers 23
1 AND Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
I AKU ia o Balaama ia Balaka, E hana oe no'u maanei i mau kuahu ehiku; e hoomakaukau hoi oe no'u i na bipikane ehiku a me na hipakane ehiku.
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
Hana iho la o Balaka e like me ka Balaama i olelo aku ai; a mohai aku la o Balaka laua o Balaama ma kela kuahu ma keia kuahu i ka bipikane hookahi a me ka hipakane hookahi.
3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the Lord will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
I aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, E ku iho oe ma kau mohaikuni, a e hele aku wau; malia paha e hele mai no o Iehova e halawai mo au: a o ka mea ana e hoike mai ai ia'u, oia ka'u o hai aku ai ia oe. A hele aku la ia i kahi kiekie.
4 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
A halawai mai la ke Akua me Balaama; i aku la hoi oia ia ia, Ua hoomakaukau no wau i na kuahu ehiku, ua mohai aku hoi au i ka bipikane a me ka hipakane maluna o kela kuahu o keia kuahu.
5 And the Lord put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
Waiho mai la o Iehova i wahi olelo ma ka waha o Balaama, i mai la, O hoi oe io Balaka la, a penei kau e olelo aku ai.
6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
A hoi hou ae la ia io na la: aia hoi, e ku ana oia ma kana mohaikuni, oia a me na luna a pau o Moaba.
7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
Hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, Na Balaka ke alii o Moaba au i lawe mai nei Mai Arama mai, mai na mauna o ka hikina; E hele mai, e hoino no'u i ka Iakoba, E hele mai, e hoohewa aku i ka Iseraela.
8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?
Pehea la au e hoino ai i ka ke Akua i hoino ole ai? Pehea la hoi au e hoohewa ai i ka Iehova i hoohewa ole ai?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
No ka mea, maluna o na pali ka'u e ike aku nei ia ia; Maluna hoi o na puu a'u e nana aku nei ia ia; Aia hoi, e noho kaawale ia poe kanaka, Aole hoi e huiia'ku me na lahuikanaka.
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
Owai la e hiki ke helu i na hunalepo o Iakoba, A me ka lehulehu o ka hapaha o ka Iseraela? E ake au e make i ka make ana o ka mea pono, I like hoi kuu hope me kona!
11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
I mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Heaha keia au i hana mai ai ia'u? Kii aku la no wau ia oe o olelo hoino i kuu poe enemi; aia hoi, ua hoomaikai wale aku oe ia lakou.
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the Lord hath put in my mouth?
Olelo aku la kela, i aku la, Aole anei au e hoomanao e olelo aku i ka mea a Iehova i waiho mai ai iloko o kuu waha?
13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
I mai la o Balaka ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele pu kaua ma kahi e, malaila e ike aku ai oe ia lakou: e ike oe i kela aoao wale no, aole no e ike ia lakou a pau; a malaila oe e hoino ai ia lakou no'u.
14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
Kai aku la kela ia ia i kahi papu o Zopima, maluna pono o Pisega: hana iho la ia i na kuahu ehiku, a mohai aku la i ka bipikane a me ka hipakane ma kela kuahu a ma keia kuahu.
15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the Lord yonder.
I aku la ia ia Balaka, E ku oe maanei ma kau mohaikuni, a halawai aku wau me Iehova ma o.
16 And the Lord met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
Halawai mai la o Iehova me Balaama, waiho mai la i olelo ma kona waha, i mai la, E hoi hon aku oe io Balaka la, e i aku oe penei.
17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the Lord spoken?
A hiki aku la ia io na la, aia hoi, ku iho la ia ma kana mohaikuni, a me ia pu na luna o Moaba; ninau mai la o Balaka ia ia, Heaha ka Iehova i olelo mai ai?
18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
Hai aku la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, E ku ae oe iluna, e Balaka, e hoolohe mai; E maliu mai oe ia'u, e ke keiki a Zipora,
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Aole ke Akua he kanaka, i hoopunipuni mai ai ia; Aole hoi ia he keiki a ke kanaka i mihi ia: Ua i mai no ia, aole anei ia e hana mai no hoi? Ua olelo mai no oia, aole anei ia e hooko?
20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
Aia hoi, ua loaa ia'u ka olelo hoomaikai aku; Ua hoomaikai no oia, aole e hiki ia'u ke hoololi ae.
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
Aole ia i ike i ka hewa iloko o ka Iakoba, Aole hoi oia i ike i ke kekee iloko o ka Iseraela; Me ia no o Iehova o kona Akua, Iwaena hoi o lakou ka hooho alii.
22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
Na ke Akua lakou i lawe mai, mai Aigupita mai: Ia ia no ka ikaika me he reema la.
23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
He oiaio, aole no he kilokilo aku i ka Iakoba, Aole hoi he anaana aku i ka Iseraela: Ma ia hope e oleloia mai no ka Iakoba, a no ka Iseraela, Kupaianaha ka hana ana a ke Akua!
24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
Aia hoi, e ala'e keia poe kanaka me he lionawahine la. E ku ae hoi ia e like me ka lionakane; Aole ia e moe hou, a ai iho ia i ke pio, A e inu hoi i ke koko o ka mea i pepehiia.
25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
I mai la o Balaka ia ia, Mai hoino iki aku ia lakou, aole hoi e hoomaikai iki aku.
26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speaketh, that I must do?
Olelo aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, i aku la, Aole anei au i i aku ia oe, O ka mea a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia'u, oia ka'u e hana i?
27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.
I mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele mai, a e kai aku au ia oe i kahi e; malia paha e oluolu ke Akua i hoino aku ai oe ia lakou malaila.
28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
Kai aku la o Balaka ia Balaama maluna pono o Peora, e nana aku ana i Iesimona.
29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
I aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, E hana oe no'u i ehiku mau kuahu maanei, a e hoomakaukau no'u maanei i ehiku mau bipikane a me na hipakane i ehiku.
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
Hana iho la o Balaka e like me ka Balaama i olelo ai, a mohai aku la i ka bipikane a me ka hipakane maluna o kela kuahu o keia kuahu.
