Numbers 24
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased God to bless Israel, he did not go according to his custom to meet the omens, but turned his face toward the wilderness.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى بَلْعَامُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُسَرُّ بِمُبَارَكَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَمْضِ كَالْمَرَّتَيْنِ السَّابِقَتَيْنِ لِمُلاقَاةِ الرَّبِّ، لَكِنَّهُ تَوَجَّهَ بِنَظَرِهِ نَحْوَ الصَّحْرَاءِ، | ١ |
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and sees Israel encamped by their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
| وَهُنَاكَ شَاهَدَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُخَيِّمِينَ حَسَبَ أَسْبَاطِهِمْ، فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ اللهِ، | ٢ |
3 And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
| وَتَنَبَّأَ قَائِلاً: «كَلامُ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ، كَلامُ الرَّجُلِ الْمَفْتُوحِ الْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ٣ |
4 he says who hears the oracle of the Mighty One, who saw a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened:
| كَلامُ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ اللهِ، الَّذِي يُشَاهِدُ رُؤْيَا الْقَدِيرِ. الَّذِي يَنْطَرِحُ فَتَنْفَتِحُ عَيْنَاهُ. | ٤ |
5 How goodly [are] your habitations, Jacob, and your tents, Israel!
| مَا أَجْمَلَ خِيَامَكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ، وَمَا أَبْهَى مَسَاكِنَكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ! | ٥ |
6 as shady groves, and as gardens by a river, and as tents which God pitched, and as cedars by the waters.
| هِيَ مِثْلُ أَوْدِيَةٍ مُمْتَدَّةٍ، وَكَجَنَّاتٍ عَلَى مَجْرَى نَهْرٍ، وَكَشَجَرَاتِ صَبَّارٍ غَرَسَهَا الرَّبُّ، وَمِثْلُ أَشْجَارِ الأَرْزِ النَّامِيَةِ بِجُوَارِ الْمِيَاهِ. | ٦ |
7 There shall come a man out of his seed, and he shall rule over many nations; and the kingdom of Gog shall be exalted, and his kingdom shall be increased.
| تَجْرِي مِيَاهٌ مِنْ مَسَاقِيهِ، وَلِزَرْعِهِ يَتَوَافَرُ مَاءٌ غَزِيرٌ. يَكُونُ مَلِكُهُ أَعْظَمَ شَأْناً مِنْ أَجَاجَ وَتَتَسَامَى مَمْلَكَتُهُ. | ٧ |
8 God led him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn: he shall consume the nations of his enemies, and he shall drain their marrow, and with his darts he shall shoot through the enemy.
| اللهُ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَقُوَّتُهُ مِثْلُ الثَّوْرِ الْوَحْشِيِّ. يَفْتَرِسُ خُصُومَهُ مِنَ الأُمَمِ، وَيَقْضَمُ عِظَامَهُمْ وَيُثْخِنُهُمْ بِسِهَامِهِ. | ٨ |
9 He lay down, he rested as a lion, and as a young lion; who shall stir him up? they that bless you are blessed, and they that curse you are cursed.
| يَجْثِمُ كَأَسَدٍ، وَيَرْبِضُ كَلَبْوَةٍ. فَمَنْ يَجْرُؤُ عَلَى إِثَارَتِهِ؟ مَنْ يُبَارِكُكَ يَكُونُ مُبَارَكاً، وَمَنْ يَلْعَنُكَ يَكُونُ مَلْعُوناً». | ٩ |
10 And Balac was angry with Balaam, and clapped his hands together; and Balac said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemy, and behold you have decidedly blessed [him] this third time.
| فَاسْتَشَاطَ بَالاقُ غَضَباً عَلَى بَلْعَامَ، وَضَرَبَ كَفّاً عَلَى كَفٍّ قَائِلاً لَهُ: «دَعَوْتُكَ لِتَشْتِمَ أَعْدَائِي، وَهَا أَنْتَ قَدْ بَارَكْتَهُمْ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ! | ١٠ |
11 Now therefore flee to your place: I said, I will honor you, but now the Lord has deprived you of glory.
| وَالآنَ اغْرُبْ عَنْ وَجْهِي وَامْضِ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ، فَقَدْ كَانَ فِي عَزْمِي إِكْرَامُكَ وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ شَاءَ أَنْ لَا تَحْظَى بِهِ». | ١١ |
12 And Balaam said to Balac, Did I not speak to your messengers also whom you sent to me, saying,
| فَأَجَابَهُ بَلْعَامُ: «أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لِرُسُلِكَ الَّذِينَ بَعَثْتَهُمْ إِلَيَّ | ١٢ |
13 If Balac should give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to transgress the word of the Lord to make it good or bad by myself; whatever things God shall say, them will I speak.
| إِنَّهُ وَلَوْ أَغْدَقَ عَلَيَّ بَالاقُ مِلْءَ قَصْرِهِ ذَهَباً وَفِضَّةً فَلَنْ أَعْصَى أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ، فَأَصْنَعَ خَيْراً أَوْ شَرّاً مِنْ نَفْسِي؟ فَإِنَّ مَا يُعْلِنُهُ لِي الرَّبُّ فَإِيَّاهُ أُبَلِّغُ. | ١٣ |
14 And now, behold, I return to my place; come, I will advise you of what this people shall do to your people in the last days.
| وَالآنَ أَعُودُ إِلَى شَعْبِي، وَلَكِنْ دَعْنِي أُنْبِئُكَ بِمَا سَيُنْزِلُهُ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ بِقَوْمِكَ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ». | ١٤ |
15 And he took up his parable and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
| ثُمَّ تَنَبَّأَ قَائِلاً: «كَلامُ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ، كَلامُ الرَّجُلِ الْمَفْتُوحِ الْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ١٥ |
16 hearing the oracles of God, receiving knowledge from the Most High, and having seen a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened.
| كَلامُ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ اللهِ، وَيَتَلَقَّى الْمَعْرِفَةَ مِنَ الْعَلِيِّ، الَّذِي يُشَاهِدُ رُؤْيَا الْقَدِيرِ، الَّذِي يَنْطَرِحُ فَتَنْفَتِحُ عَيْنَاهُ. | ١٦ |
17 I will point to him, but not now; I bless him, but he draws not near: a star shall rise out of Jacob, a man shall spring out of Israel; and shall crush the princes of Moab, and shall spoil all the sons of Seth.
| أَرَاهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ حَاضِراً، وَأُبْصِرُهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ قَرِيباً. يَخْرُجُ نَجْمٌ مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَظْهَرُ مَلِكٌ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيُحَطِّمُ طَرَفَيْ مُوآبَ، وَيُهْلِكُ كُلَّ رِجَالِ الْحَرْبِ. | ١٧ |
18 And Edom shall be an inheritance, and Esau his enemy shall be an inheritance [of Israel], and Israel wrought valiantly.
| وَيَرِثُ أَرْضَ أَدُومَ، وَيَتَمَلَّكُ دِيَارَ سَعِيرَ. أَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَيَزْدَادُ قُوَّةً. | ١٨ |
19 And [one] shall arise out of Jacob, and destroy out of the city him that escapes.
| وَيَبْرُزُ حَاكِمٌ مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ فَيُدَمِّرُ مَا تَبَقَّى مِنْ مُدُنٍ». | ١٩ |
20 And having seen Amalec, he took up his parable and said, Amalec [is] the first of the nations; yet his seed shall perish.
| ثُمَّ تَطَلَّعَ بَلْعَامُ نَحْوَ مَسَاكِنِ أَهْلِ عَمَالِيقَ فَتَنَبَّأَ: «كَانَ عَمَالِيقُ أَوَّلَ الشُّعُوبِ، أَمَّا عَاقِبَتُهُ فَإِلَى الْهَلاكِ». | ٢٠ |
21 And having seen the Kenite, he took up his parable and said, your dwelling-place [is] strong; yet though you should put your nest in a rock,
| ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ نَحْوَ الْقَيْنِيِّينَ فَأَنْبَأَ: «لِيَكُنْ مَسْكَنُكَ مَنِيعاً، وَعُشُّكَ مَوْضُوعاً فِي صَخْرَةٍ. | ٢١ |
22 and though Beor should have a skillfully contrived hiding-place, the Assyrians shall carry you away captive.
| وَإِنَّمَا سَتُدَمَّرُونَ عِنْدَمَا يَطْرُدُكُمُ الأَشُّورِيُّونَ». | ٢٢ |
23 And he looked upon Og, and took up his parable and said, Oh, oh, who shall live, when God shall do these things?
| ثُمَّ تَنَبَّأَ قَائِلاً: «مَنْ لَهُ طَاقَةٌ عَلَى الْعَيْشِ حِينَ يُجْرِي الرَّبُّ ذَلِكَ؟ | ٢٣ |
24 And one shall come forth from the hands of the Citians, and shall afflict Assur, and shall afflict the Hebrews, and they shall perish together.
| تُقْبِلُ سُفُنٌ مِنْ كِتِّيمَ، وَتُخْضِعُ أَشُورَ وَتُذِلُّ عَابِرَ، فَهُمَا أَيْضاً يَهْلِكَانِ». | ٢٤ |
25 And Balaam rose up and departed and returned to his place, and Balac went to his own home.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ بَلْعَامُ إِلَى دِيَارِهِ، وَأَمَّا بَالاقُ فَمَضَى فِي سَبِيلِهِ. | ٢٥ |
