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.
Israel yoethen paek te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah hoeikhang tila Balaamloha hmuh dongah lungte doe ham voei vai khaw cet pawh. Te dongah a maelhmaite khosoek la a khueh.
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 upon him.
Balaam loh a mik a huel vaengah Israel te amah koca lakhoa sak tih Pathen Mueihla a soah a om te a hmuh.
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:
Te vaengah a thuidoeknah te a poh tih Beor capa Balaam olphong neh mikdai dai hlang kah olphong te a thui.
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:
Pathen ol aka ya kah olphong tah Tlungthang mikhlam aka tla te a hmuh tih a mik a dai.
5 How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, and your tabernacles, O Israel!
Jakob nang kah dap neh Israel nang kah dungtlungim tah metlam a hoeikhang.
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.
Soklong bangla langdai, tuiva kah dum bangla, BOEIPA kah a phung thingul bangla, tui taengkah lamphai bangla,
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.
A tuiduen lamloh tui sih tih a tiingan khaw tui yet dongah om. A manghai Agag lakah a vetih a ram a phueih ni.
8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he has as it were the strength of an unicorn (ox): he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
Pathen loh anihte Egypt lamloh amah taengah cung ki bangla a loh. A rhal namtom te a ngaeh coeng dongah a rhuh te a cilh vetih a thaltang neh a phop ni.
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.
Sathueng neh sathuengnu bangla koisutih yalh phoeiah tah anih aka haengte unim? Nang loh yoethen na paek te a yoethen tih nang loh thae na phoei khaw thaephoei a yook.
10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he stroke his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called you to curse mine enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.
Te vaengah Balak kah thintoekte Balaam taengah sai tih a kut te a paeng. Balak loh Balaam te, “Ka thunkha rhoek te tap ham ni nang kang khue dae he rhoek kah yoethen la voei thum yoethen na paek coeng he.
11 Therefore now flee you to your place: I thought to promote you unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD has kept you back from honour.
Te dongah namah hmuen la nang te yong laeh. Nang te kan thangpom rhoe kan thangpom eh ka ti coeng dae BOEIPA loh nangte thangpomnah lamkah n'hloh coeng ne,” a ti nah.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spoke I not also to your messengers which you sent unto me, saying,
Te dongah Balaam loh Balak te, “Kai taengla na puencawn nan tueih taengah khaw ka thui moenih a?
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 mine own mind; but what the LORD says, that will I speak?
Kai he Balak loh cak neh sui a im kah a bae la m'pae cakhaw BOEIPA olka te poe hamla ka coeng moenih. Then cakhaw thae cakhaw ngai ham om. Ka lungbuei lamlong pataeng BOEIPA kah a thui te ni ka thui eh ka ti.
14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.
Kai tah ka pilnam taengla ka cet pawn ni he. Halo lamtah hmailong tue ah he pilnam loh na pilnam soah a saii ham te nang kang uen eh?,” a ti nah.
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:
Te phoeiah a thuidoeknah a dangrhoek tih Beor capa Balaam kah olphong neh mik aka dai hlang kah olphong te a thui.
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:
Pathen kah olthui aka ya tih Khohni mingnah aka ming, tlungthang mikhlam aka hmu tih a bakop doela mik aka dai kah olphong loh,
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 strike the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
Amah te ka hmuh dae tahaeah moenih, amah te ka mae dae yoei pawh. Jakob lamkah aisi thoeng vetih Israel lamloh mancai thoo ni. Moab baengki a phop pah vetih Seth kocate boeih a phuet ni.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
Edom kah a pang om vetih a thunkha Seir kah a pang om cakhaw Israel loh thadueng neh a saii ni.
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remains of the city.
Jakob lamloh a taemrhai vetih khopuei kah rhaengnaeng te a milh sak ni.
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.
Amalek te a hmuh vaengah a thuidoeknah a poh tih, “Amaklek tah namtom kah a tongnah la om dae a hmailong tah pocinah la om.
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.
Keni te a hmuh vaengah a thuidoeknah te a poh tih, “Na ngolhmuen khangmai tih thaelpang soah bu na khueh.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry you away captive.
Tedae hatah Assyria loh nang n'sol duela Kainte hlup hamla om bitni,” a ti nah.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God does this!
A thuidoeknah a poh tih, “Anunae Pathen loh te a saii vaengah unim aka hing ve?
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.
Kittim lihmoi lamkah timbawrhoek neh Assyria khaw phaep uh ni. Eber khaw a phaep uh ni. Tedae amah khaw pocinah ham ni,” a ti nah.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
Te phoeiah Balaamte thoo tih aka cette amah hmuen la mael. Te dongah Balak khaw amah longpuei la cet.
