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;
Aa kanao nioni’ i Balame te ninò’ Iehovà ty hitata Israele le tsy nisikilie’e nanahake i lili’ey fe nampitolihe’e mb’ am-patrambey eñe ty lahara’e.
2 and Balaam lifts up his eyes, and sees Israel dwelling by its tribes, and the Spirit of God is on him,
Aa naho niandra t’i Balame le nioni’e t’Israele nimoneñe an-kiboho’e ey nilahatse amo fifokoa’eo; le nivotrak’ ama’e ty arofon’ Andrianañahare;
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,
vaho nonjone’e ami’ty hoe ty razan-drehake, Hoe ty fetse’ i Balame ana’ i Beore, naho ty lañona’ ondaty am-pihaino misokake.
4 An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God, Who sees a vision of the Almighty, Falling—and eyes uncovered:
Ty enta’ ondaty mahajanjiñe ty tsaran’Añahare, naho mahaisake ty aroñaro’ i El-Sadai, mibaboke fe am-pihaino mibolanake:
5 How good have been your tents, O Jacob, Your dwelling places, O Israel;
Fanjaka o kiboho’oo ry Iakòbe naho o kivoho’oo ry Israele.
6 They have been stretched out as valleys, As gardens by a river; As aloes YHWH has planted, As cedars by waters;
Mivelatse hoe vavatane, hoe kodobo añ’olon-tsaka, hoe vahoñe nambole’ Iehovà hoe mendoraveñe añ’olon-drano.
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.
Hidoandoan-drano o sihoa’eo naho ho an-drano maro o tabiri’eo. Mitoabotse ambone’ i Agage ty mpanjaka’e vaho onjoneñe i fifehea’ey.
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.
Manahake ty tsifan-drimo mitiotiotse t’i Andrianañahare nampiavotse aze amy Mitsraime. Hampibotseke ze tane malaiñe aze hampipozapozake o taola’eo, hampitrofahe’e amo ana-pale’eo.
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.”
Nitsakononòke re, nanao fandrean-diona naho hoe liona rene’e, ia ty hampitsekak’ aze? Hene soa tata ze mitat’azo Fonga ozoñeñe o mañozoñ’azoo.
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;
Nisolebotse amy Balame amy zao ty habose’ i Balake, le nifampitrabohe’e o fità’eo, naho hoe t’i Balak’ amy Balame, Nikanjiako hañozoñe o rafelahikoo, vaho hehe te nitsitsihe’o tata in-telo.
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.”
Mibioña arè mb’ an-toe’o añe, ie ho nonjoneko andikerañe eñe ty asi’o; te mone kinala’ Iehovà i ho ni-enge’oy.
12 And Balaam says to Balak, “Did I not also speak to your messengers whom you have sent to me, saying,
Le hoe t’i Balame amy Balake, Tsy vinolako hao o ìra’o nampihitrife’o amakoo ty hoe,
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?
Ndra te hatolo’ i Balak’ ahiko ty volafoty naho volamena mahaatseke i anjomba’ey, tsy ho likoareko ty falie’ Iehovà, hanoako ty soa ndra ty raty boak’ an-troko, fa ze nitsarae’ Iehovà ty ho taroñeko?
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.”
Aa le himpoliako ondatikoo henaneo, fe adono hey hitoroako ty hanoe’ ondaty reroañe am’ondati’oo amo andro ampara’e añeo.
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;
Aa le nonjone’e ami’ty hoe i fandrazaña’ey: Ty lañona’ i Balame ana’ i Beore, ty taro’ ondaty am-pihaino nabeake.
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:
Ty kora’ i mpijanjiñe o tsaran’ Añahareoy, vaho ama’e ty fahafohinañe i Andindimoneñey, Oni’e ty aroñaro’ i El-Sadai mibaboke fe am-pihaino mibeake:
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.
Treako fa tsy henaneo; misamb’ aze iraho fe tsy mitotoke; hiboak’ am’ Iakòbe ty vasiañe; hionjoñe hirik’am’ Israele ty kobaiñe, ho demohe’e o olon-tane’ i Moabeo le fonga ho rotsahe’e o anam-pifandrakarakañeo.
18 And Edom has been a possession, And Seir has been a possession [for] his enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;
Ho fanañañe t’i Edome, ho hanaña’ o rafelahi’eo t’i Seire, le hitoloñ’ an-kafatrarañe t’Israele.
19 And [One] rules out of Jacob, And has destroyed a remnant from the city.”
Hiboak’ am’ Iakòbe ty hifehe, handrotsake ty sehanga’ i Are.
20 And he sees Amalek, and takes up his allegory, and says: “Amalek [is] first [among] nations, But his latter end—destruction forever.”
Ie nitalakese’e t’i Amaleke le nonjone’e ty fetse’e ami’ty hoe: Nilohà’ o kilakila taneo t’i Amaleke, Fe hamongorañe ty ho figadoña’e.
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,
Nisambae’e amy zao o nte-Keineo, vaho nañonjona’e fetse ami’ ty hoe: Fatratse o fimoneña’oo naho mioreñe an-damilamy eo ty akiba’o;
22 But the Kenite is for a burning; Until when does Asshur keep you captive?”
fe ho forototoeñe t’i Kàine; ampara’ mbia te ho tana’ i Asore an-drohy?
23 And he takes up his allegory and says: “Woe! Who lives when God does this?
Le nonjone’e ty fetse’e nanao ty hoe: Hedey! Ia ty ho veloñe naho akipen’ Añahare?
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.”
Hitotsak’ eo o lakambey hirik’ añ’olo’ i Ketio, ho silofe’ iareo t’i Asore naho hampiambane’e t’i Aibere, ampara’ t’ie mongotse nainai’e.
25 And Balaam rises, and goes, and turns back to his place, and Balak has also gone on his way.
Aa le niongake t’i Balame, nienga, naho nimpoly mb’an-toe’e añe; vaho nimb’ amy lia’e mb’eo ka t’i Balake.
