Numbers 24
1 And Balaam sees that [it is] good in the eyes of YHWH to bless Israel, and he has not gone as time by time to seek enchantments, and he sets 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 lifts up his eyes, and sees Israel dwelling by its tribes, and the Spirit of God is on 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 takes up his allegory and says: “An affirmation of Balaam son of Beor, And an affirmation of the man whose eyes are shut,
Hahoi lawk hah a pâpho teh, Beor capa Balaam mit a ang sak,
4 An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God, Who sees a vision of the Almighty, Falling—and eyes uncovered:
Cathut lawk hah thai hoi, Athakasaipounge kamnuenae hah a hmu hoi, ka tabawk ni teh a mit ka padai e ni,
5 How good have been your tents, O Jacob, Your dwelling places, O Israel;
Oe Jakop na rim teh ahawi. Oe Isarel na khosaknae teh ahawi doeh.
6 They have been stretched out as valleys, As gardens by a river; As aloes YHWH has planted, As cedars by 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 makes water flow from his buckets, And his seed [is] in many waters; And his King [is] higher than Gog [[or Agag]], And his kingdom is 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 is bringing him out of Egypt, As the swiftness of a wild ox for him, He eats up nations—his adversaries, And he breaks their bones, And he strikes [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 has bent, he has lain down as a lion, And as a lioness, who raises him up? He who is blessing you [is] blessed, And he who is cursing you [is] cursed.”
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 the anger of Balak burns against Balaam, and he strikes his hands; and Balak says to Balaam, “I called you to pierce my enemies, and behold, you have certainly blessed 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 and now, flee for yourself to your place; I have said, I greatly honor you, and behold, YHWH has kept you back from honor.”
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 says to Balak, “Did I not also speak to your messengers whom you have sent to me, saying,
Balaam teh Balak ni sui ngun yikkawi lah na ka poe nakunghai,
13 If Balak gives to me the fullness of his house of silver and gold, I am not able to pass over the command of YHWH, to do good or evil of my own heart; that which YHWH speaks—it 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 am going to my people; come, I counsel you [concerning] that which this people does to your people in the latter end of the 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 takes up his allegory and says: “An affirmation of Balaam son of Beor, And an affirmation of the man whose eyes [are] shut;
Ahni ni lawk hah a pâpho teh, Beor capa Balaam mit a ang sak teh,
16 An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God, And knowing knowledge of the Most High; He sees a vision of the Almighty, Falling—and eyes uncovered:
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 see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; A star has proceeded from Jacob, And a scepter has risen from Israel, And has struck corners of Moab, And has destroyed all sons of Seth.
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 has been a possession, And Seir has been a possession [for] his enemies, And Israel is doing 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 And [One] rules out of Jacob, And has destroyed a remnant from the city.”
Jakop koehoi kaukkung buet touh a tawn vaiteh, kacawirae khonaw hah a raphoe awh han.
20 And he sees Amalek, and takes up his allegory, and says: “Amalek [is] first [among] nations, But his latter end—destruction forever.”
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 sees the Kenite, and takes up his allegory, and says: “Your dwelling [is] enduring, And your nest is being set in a rock,
Kennaw lah kangvawi laihoi lawk a pâpho. Na onae hmuen teh a cak. Na tabu teh lungsong dawk na tuk.
22 But the Kenite is for a burning; Until when does Asshur keep you captive?”
Hatei, Ken teh, hmaisawi lah ao vaiteh, Asshur ni san lah na hrawi totouh telah a ti.
23 And he takes up his allegory and says: “Woe! Who lives when God does this?
Lawk hah bout a pâpho teh, Aiyoe, Cathut ni hetheh a sak toteh apimaw ka hring thai han.
24 But ships [come] from the side of Chittim, And they have humbled Asshur, And they have humbled Eber, But it is also perishing forever.”
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 rises, and goes, and turns back to his place, and Balak has also gone on his way.
Hahoi teh Balaam a thaw teh a onae hmuen koe a ban teh, Balak hai a ban van.
