Numbers 23
1 And Bil'am said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
Kinuna ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Mangibangonka iti pito nga altar ditoy para kaniak ken mangisaganaka iti pito a toro a baka ken pito a kalakian a karnero.”
2 And Balak did as Bil'am had spoken; and Balak and Bil'am offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
Inaramid ngarud ni Balak kas kiniddaw ni Balaam. Ket nangidatonda a dua iti maysa a baka ken maysa a karnero iti rabaw ti tunggal altar.
3 And Bil'am said unto Balak, Place thyself by thy burnt-offering; and I will go, peradventure the Lord will come to meet me, and whatsoever he may show me I will tell thee: and he went thoughtfully alone.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Agtakderka iti abay ti datonmo a maipuor ta mapanakon. Nalabit nga umaynak saraken ni Yahweh. Ibagakto kenka ti aniaman nga ipakitana kaniak.” Isu a napan isuna iti tuktok ti turod nga awan iti kakaykayona.
4 And God met Bil'am: and he said unto him, The seven altars have I made ready, and I have offered a bullock and a ram upon every altar.
Immay ti Dios kenkuana, ket kinuna ni Balaam iti Dios, “Nangbangonak iti pito nga altar, ket nangidatonak iti maysa a baka ken maysa a karnero iti tunggal maysa kadagitoy.”
5 And the Lord put a word in Bil'am's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
Nangikabil ni Yahweh iti mensahe iti ngiwat ni Balaam ket kinunana, “Agsublika kenni Balak ket kasaritam isuna.”
6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
Nagsubli ngarud ni Balaam kenni Balak, a sitatakder iti abay ti datonna a naipuor, ken kaduana dagiti amin a pangulo ti Moab.
7 And he took up his parable, and said, From Aram did Balak send for me, the king of Moab, out of the mountains of the east, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
Ket rinugian ni Balaam nga insao ti padtona ket kinunana, “Inkuyognak ni Balak manipud Aram. Ti ari ti Moab a naggapu kadagiti kabanbantayan iti daya. 'Umayka, ilunodmo ni Jacob para kaniak,' kinunana. 'Umaymo dupraken ti Israel.'
8 How shall I denounce, whom God hath not denounced? and how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?
Kasanok nga ilunod dagiti saan nga inlunod ti Dios? Kasanok a supiaten dagiti saan a sinupiat ni Yahweh?
9 For from the top of rocks I see him, and from hills I behold him: lo, it is a people that shall dwell alone, and among the nations it shall not be reckoned.
Ta manipud iti tuktok dagiti dadakkel a bato ket makitkitak isuna; manipud kadagiti katurturodan ket matantannawagak isuna. Kitaem, adda dita ti tattao nga agbibiag nga agmaymaysa ket saanda nga ibilang ti bagbagida a kas maysa laeng a gagangay a nasion.
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and number the fourth part of Israel? May my soul die the death of the righteous, and may my last end be like his!
Siasino ti makabilang iti tapok ni Jacob wenno ti kakapat a bilang dagiti Israelita? Pumusayak koma a kas iti ipupusay ti nalinteg a tao, ket gibusam ti biagko kas kenkuana!”
11 And Balak said unto Bil'am, What hast thou done unto me? to denounce my enemies did I take thee, and, behold, thou hast even blessed them.
Kinuna ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Ania daytoy nga inaramidmo kaniak? Inkuyogka tapno ilunodmo dagiti kabusorko, ngem adtoy, binendisionam ketdi ida.”
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that only which the Lord may put in my mouth?
Simmungbat ni Balaam ket kinunana, “Saan kadi a ti rumbeng nga ibagak ket dagiti laeng ikabil ni Yahweh iti ngiwatko?”
13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from where thou canst see them; nevertheless a portion of them only wilt thou see, but the whole of them thou wilt not see: and denounce them for me from there.
Isu a kinuna ni Balak kenkuana, “Pangngaasim, kumuyogka kaniak iti sabali pay a lugar a pakakitaam kadakuada. Dagiti laeng asideg ti makitam kadakuada, saanmo ida a makita amin. Sadiay, ilunodmo ida para kaniak.”
14 And he brought him to the field of the watchmen, on the top of Pisgah, and he built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
Isu nga inkuyog ni Balak ni Balaam iti tay-ak ti Zofim nga agturong iti tuktok ti Bantay Pisga, ket nangbangon manen isuna iti pito nga altar. Nangidaton isuna iti maysa a baka ken maysa a karnero iti rabaw ti tunggal altar.
15 And he said unto Balak, Place thyself here by thy burnt-offering, while I will repair to yonder place.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Agtakderka ditoy abay ti datonmo a naipuor, bayat ti pannakisarakko kenni Yahweh sadiay.
16 And the Lord met Bil'am, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
Sinarak ngarud ni Yahweh ni Balaam ket inkabilna ti mensahe iti ngiwatna. Kinunana, “Agsublika kenni Balak ket itedmo ti mensahek kenkuana.”
17 And he came to him, and, behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him; and Balak said unto him: What hath the Lord spoken?
Nagsubli ni Balaam kenkuana, ket adtoy, agtaktakder isuna iti abay ti datonna a naipuor ken kaduana dagiti pangulo ti Moab. Ket kinuna ni Balak kenkuana, “Ania ti kinuna ni Yahweh?”
18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; bend hither thy ear unto me, son of Zippor!
Rinugian ni Balaam ti padtona. Kinunana, “Tumakderka Balak, ket dumngegka. Denggennak, sika nga anak a lalaki ni Sefor.
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; nor a son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? and hath he spoken, and shall he not fulfill it?
Saan a tao ti Dios tapno agulbod isuna. Wenno maysa a tao, tapno baliwanna ti kapanunotanna. Adda kadi inkarina a saanna a tinungpal? Adda kadi imbagana nga aramidenna a saanna a tinungpal?
20 Behold, to bless I have received [the word]; and he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
Adtoy, nabilinak a mangbendision. Nangbendision ti Dios, ket saankon a mabaliwan daytoy.
21 He hath not beheld any wrong in Jacob, nor hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the glory of the king dwelleth among him.
Awan ti nakitana a pakarigatan kenni Jacob wenno pakariribukan idiay Israel. Adda kadakuada ni Yahweh a Diosda, ket ipukpukawda gapu ta adda kadakuada ti arida.
22 God, who brought them out of Egypt, is to them like the heights of the reem.
Impanaw ida ti Dios manipud iti Egipto nga addaan pigsa a kas iti atap a baka.
23 For there is no enchantment in Jacob, nor is there any divination in Israel: at the proper time shall it be said to Jacob and to Israel, what God doth work.
Awan gamud nga agballigi kenni Jacob, ken awan mammadto a mangdangran iti Israel. Kastoy ketdi ti maibaga kenni Jacob ken iti Israel, 'Kitaem ti inaramid ti Dios!'
24 Behold, it is a people, that shall rise up as a lioness, and as a lion shall it raise itself: it will not lie down until it have eaten the prey, and have drunk the blood of the slain.
Adtoy, tumaktakder dagiti tattao a kas iti kabaian a leon, kas iti leon a kellaat nga agparang ket dumarup. Saan nga agidda agingga a makanna ti kinemmegna ken agingga a masepsepna ti dara ti napatayna.”
25 And Balak said unto Bil'am, Neither shalt thou denounce them, nor shalt thou any wise bless them.
Ket kinuna ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Saanmo ida nga ilunod wenno bendisionan ni kaanoman.”
26 But Bil'am answered and said unto Balak, Have I not spoken unto thee, saying, all that the Lord will speak, that must I do.
Ngem simmungbat ni Balaam ket kinunana kenni Balak,” Saan kadi nga imbagak kenka a masapul nga ibagak ti amin nga ibagbaga ni Yahweh kaniak?
27 And Balak said unto Bil'am, Come, I pray thee, I will take thee unto another place, peradventure it may be pleasing in the eyes of God that thou mayest denounce them for me from there.
Ket insungbat ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Umaykan ta ikuyogka iti sabali pay a lugar. Nalabit a maay-ayonto ti Dios nga ilunodmo ida sadiay para kaniak.”
28 And Balak took Bil'am unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward the desert.
Inkuyog ngarud ni Balak ni Balaam iti tuktok ti Bantay Peor, a pakatantannawagan iti let-ang.
29 And Bil'am said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
Kinuna ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Ibangonannak iti pito nga altar ditoy ket isaganam ti pito a baka ken pito a karnero.”
30 And Balak did as Bil'am had said, and he offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
Inaramid ngarud ni Balak ti imbaga ni Balaam; nangidaton isuna iti maysa a baka ken maysa a karnero iti rabaw ti tunggal altar.
