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 Balaam loh a hmuh dongah lung te doe ham voei vai khaw cet pawh. Te dongah a maelhmai te 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 la kho a 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 hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
Te vaengah a thuidoeknah te a poh tih Beor capa Balaam olphong neh mikdai aka then hlang kah olphong te a thui.
4 He hath 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 thy tents, O Jacob, [and] thy 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 hath 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 pomsang vetih a ram a phueih ni.
8 God 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.
Pathen loh anih te 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 blesseth thee, and cursed [is] he that curseth thee.
Sathueng neh sathuengnu bangla koisu tih yalh phoeiah tah anih aka haeng te 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 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.
Te vaengah Balak kah thintoek te 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 thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee 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 nang te thangpomnah lamkah n'hloh coeng ne,” a ti nah.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest 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 saith, 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 thee what this people shall do to thy 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 hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath 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 hath 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 smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
Amah te ka hmuh dae tahae ah 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 koca te 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 remaineth 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, ‘Amalek 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 thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy 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 thee away captive.
Tedae hatah Assyria loh nang n'sol duela Kain te hlup hamla om bitni,” a ti nah.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth 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 timbaw rhoek 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 Balaam te thoo tih aka cet te amah hmuen la mael. Te dongah Balak khaw amah longpuei la cet.
