Numbers 24
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased YHWH to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for 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 abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of Elohim 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, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
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 He hath said, which heard the words of El, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
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, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
Nani ka maikai o na halelole ou, e Iakoba! O kou mau halelewa hoi, e Iseraela!
6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which YHWH hath planted, and as cedar trees 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 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.
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 El brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath 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.
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 great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he 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, YHWH 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, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest 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 commandment of YHWH, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what YHWH saith, 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 therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter 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, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
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 He hath said, which heard the words of Elohim, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
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 shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
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 shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do 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 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of 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 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.
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 Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a 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 the Kenite shall be wasted, until 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 when El doeth this!
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 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
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.
