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.
Hot patetlah Isarel yawhawi poe e hah BAWIPA a ngainae lah doeh ao tie hah Balaam ni a panue toteh, ahmoun ouk a sak e patetlah taânnae hno hanlah cet laipalah kahrawngum lah letlang a pâtam.
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 ni a khet teh Isarelnaw hah ama miphun aloukcalah ao e hah a hmu. Cathut e Muitha hah ahnimouh koe a pha.
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:
Hahoi lawk hah a pâpho teh, Beor capa Balaam mit a ang sak,
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:
Cathut lawk hah thai hoi, Athakasaipounge kamnuenae hah a hmu hoi, ka tabawk ni teh a mit ka padai e ni,
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, [and] thy tabernacles, O Israel!
Oe Jakop na rim teh ahawi. Oe Isarel na khosaknae teh ahawi doeh.
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.
Tanghling patetlah a kâphai. Palang teng e takha patetlah BAWIPA ni a ung e sumpakung hoi, palang teng e Sidar thing patetlah doeh ao.
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.
Khotui moikapap a coe vaiteh, tui apapnae koe cati a patue awh han. Agag hlak vah a siangpahrang a rasang vaiteh, a uknaeram teh tawmtakhang han.
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.
Izip hoi Cathut ni a tâcokhai teh, sakraktan patetlah a thao awh. A taran Jentelnaw hah cat awh vaiteh, a hru hah vitpatit lah a dêi awh han. A samtang hoi pawkkayawng lah a ka awh han.
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.
A tabut awh teh, sendekmanu patetlah a tabo teh apinimaw a pathaw ngam han. Yawhawi na kapoekung hah yawhawi poe nateh, thoe na ka bo naw hah thoebo awh telah a ti.
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.
Hat toteh, Balaam tak dawk Balaam a lung a kâan teh, Balak ni Balaam koevah, ka taran thoebo hanlah na kaw. Hatei, khenhaw! vai thum totouh yawhawi na poe.
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.
Hatdawkvah, na onae koe kahmakata han lah cet. Ka taluepoung e lah tawmrasang hanlah ka kâcai e doeh. Khenhaw! hatei, BAWIPA ni tawmtakhang hanlah na pasoung hoeh toe telah a ti.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
Balaam teh Balak ni sui ngun yikkawi lah na ka poe nakunghai,
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?
ahawinae koe lah thoseh, thoenae koelah thoseh, kai kama lung lahoi teh, BAWIPA lawk hloilah sak thai e banghai ka tawn hoeh. BAWIPA ni a dei e pueng ka dei han telah na patoun e patounenaw pueng koehai ka dei nahoehmaw.
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.
Khenhaw! ka taminaw koe ka cei han toe. Tho haw hete taminaw ni, hma lae tueng dawk na taminaw koe a sak hane kong dawk pouknae na poe han telah a ti.
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:
Ahni ni lawk hah a pâpho teh, Beor capa Balaam mit a ang sak teh,
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:
Cathut lawk hah thai hoi, Lathueng Poung e panuenae tha panue hoi, Athakasaipounge vision a hmu teh, a tabo hoi a mit ka ang e ni
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.
ama teh ka hmu, hatei atu nahoeh. Ama teh ka khet, hatei kahnaicalah nahoeh. Jakop koehoi Âsi a tâco han. Isarel koehoi siangpahrang sonron a tâco han. Moab ram pawkkayawng lah a cuek vaiteh, Sethnaw hai be a raphoe awh han.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
A taran lah ouk kaawm e Edom hoi Seir hai a coe han. Isarel kangduenae ahawi nah thung pueng teh, kaukkung buet touh a tawn awh han.
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
Jakop koehoi kaukkung buet touh a tawn vaiteh, kacawirae khonaw hah a raphoe awh han.
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 lah kangvawi hoi lawk hah a pâpho. Amalek teh miphun kung pui lah ao eiteh, hatei hnukteng teh rawkphainae lah ao.
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.
Kennaw lah kangvawi laihoi lawk a pâpho. Na onae hmuen teh a cak. Na tabu teh lungsong dawk na tuk.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
Hatei, Ken teh, hmaisawi lah ao vaiteh, Asshur ni san lah na hrawi totouh telah a ti.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
Lawk hah bout a pâpho teh, Aiyoe, Cathut ni hetheh a sak toteh apimaw ka hring thai han.
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.
Hatei, Cyprus tuilum koehoi long phat vaiteh, Asshur hoi Eber hah runae a poe han. Amalek a kahma totouh telah a ti.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
Hahoi teh Balaam a thaw teh a onae hmuen koe a ban teh, Balak hai a ban van.
