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;
परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई आशिष् दिन नै रुचाउनुहुन्छ भन्ने जब बालामले देखे, तिनी अरू बेलाझैँ टुनामुना गर्नलाई गएनन् । बरु, तिनले मरुभूमितिर हेरे ।
2 and Balaam lifts up his eyes, and sees Israel dwelling by its tribes, and the Spirit of God is on him,
तिनले आँखा खोलेर इस्राएल कुल-कुल गरी आ-आफ्नो छाउनीमा देखे र परमेश्वरका आत्मा तिनीमाथि आयो ।
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,
तिनले यो अगमवाणी पाए र भने, “बओरका छोरा बालाम बोल्न लाग्दै छ, जुन मानिसका आँखा खुला छन्, त्यसका वाणी ।
4 An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God, Who sees a vision of the Almighty, Falling—and eyes uncovered:
तिनले परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्छ र बोल्छ । त्यसले सर्वशक्तिमान्बाट दर्शन प्राप्त गर्छ, जसको सामु त्यसले आँखा खुला राखेर दण्डवत् गर्छ ।
5 How good have been your tents, O Jacob, Your dwelling places, O Israel;
हे याकूब, तिम्रा पालहरू र तिमी बस्ने ठाउँ कति सुन्दर छन्!
6 They have been stretched out as valleys, As gardens by a river; As aloes YHWH has planted, As cedars by waters;
तिनीहरू उपत्यकाझैँ, नदी किनारको बगैँचाझैँ, परमप्रभुले रोप्नुभएको एलवाहरूजस्तै र पानी छेउका देवदारुजस्तै फैलिएका छन् ।
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.
तिनीहरूका गाग्राहरूबाट पानी बग्छ र तिनीहरूका बिउहरू सुसिंचित छन् । तिनीहरूका राजा अगागभन्दा उच्च छन् र तिनीहरूका राज्यलाई आदर गरिने छ ।
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.
परमेश्वरले तिनलाई मिश्रबाट जङ्गली साँढेको जस्तै सामर्थ्यमा ल्याउनुहुन्छ । तिनले त्यसको विरुद्ध लड्ने जातिहरूलाई निल्छन् । तिनले तिनीहरूका हड्डीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्ने छन् । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना वाणहरूले हान्छन् ।
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.”
तिनले सिंह, सिंहनीझै ढुक्छन् । तिनलाई उठाउने कसको आँट छ र? तिनलाई आशिष् दिने सबै आशिषित्् होऊन्; तिनलाई सराप दिने सबै श्रापित होऊन् ।”
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;
बालाकको क्रोध बालामप्रति उर्लियो र तिनले आफ्ना हात ठटाए । बालाकले बालामलाई भने, “मैले मेरा शत्रुहरूलाई सराप दिन तपाईंलाई बोलाएँ, तर तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई तिन पटकसम्म आशिष् दिनुभयो ।
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.”
त्यसैले अहिले नै गइहाल्नुहोस् । मैले तपाईंलाई भव्य इनाम दिन्छु भनेको थिएँ, तर परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई इनाम पाउनबाट वञ्चित गर्नुभएको छ ।”
12 And Balaam says to Balak, “Did I not also speak to your messengers whom you have sent to me, saying,
त्यसपछि बालामले बालाकलाई जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंले मकहाँ पठाउनुभएका सन्देशवाहकहरूलाई भने,
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?
'बालाकलाई चाँदी र सुनले भरिएको तिनको दरबार नै दिए पनि, म परमप्रभुको बाहिर मैले चाहेको असल वा खराब कुनै पनि कुरा गर्न सक्दिनँ । म परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुहुने कुरा मात्र बताउन सक्छु ।' के मैले तिनीहरूलाई यो कुरा भनेको थिइनँ र?
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.”
त्यसैले अब म मेरा मानिसहरूकहाँ फर्केर जाने छु । तर यी मानिसहरूले तपाईंका मानिसहरूलाई आगामी दिनहरूमा के गर्ने छन् पहिले तपाईंलाई चेताउनी दिन दिनुहोस् ।”
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;
बालामले अगमवाणी गर्न थाले, “बओरका छोरा बालाम भन्छ, त्यो मानिस जसको आँखा खुला छन्, त्यसको वाणी ।
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:
यो परमेश्वरको वचन सुन्नेको व्यक्तिको अगमवाणी हो, जससँग सर्वोच्चको ज्ञान छ, जससँग सर्वशक्तिमान्बाट आएको दर्शन छ, जसले उहाँको सामु खुला आँखाले दण्डवत् गर्छ ।
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.
म उहाँलाई देख्छु, तर उहाँ अहिले यहाँ हुनुहुन्न । म उहाँलाई हेर्छु, तर उहाँ नजिक हुनुहुन्न । याकूबबाट एउटा तारा निस्की आउने छ र इस्राएलबाट राजदण्डको उदय हुने छ । तिनले मोआबका अगुवाहरूलाई चकनाचुर पार्ने छन् र शेथका सबै सन्तानलाई नष्ट पार्नेछन् ।
18 And Edom has been a possession, And Seir has been a possession [for] his enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;
त्यसपछि एदोम इस्राएलको सम्पत्ति बन्ने छ र सेइर इस्राएलको अधीनमा हुने छ इस्राएलका शत्रुहरू जसलाई इस्राएलले बलले जित्नेछ ।
19 And [One] rules out of Jacob, And has destroyed a remnant from the city.”
याकूबबाट एउटा राजा आउने छ जसले शासन गर्ने छ र तिनले तिनीहरूका सहरहरूका बाँचेकाहरूलाई नष्ट पार्ने छन् ।”
20 And he sees Amalek, and takes up his allegory, and says: “Amalek [is] first [among] nations, But his latter end—destruction forever.”
त्यसपछि बालामले अमालेकतिर हेरे र अगमवाणी गर्न थाले, “अमालेक एक पटक जातिहरूमध्ये सबैभन्दा ठुलो थियो, तर त्यसको अन्त विनाश हुने छ ।”
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,
अनि बालामले केनीहरूतिर हेरे र अगमवाणी गर्न थाले, “तिमीहरू बस्ने ठाउँ बलियो छ र तिमीहरूका गुँड चट्टान हुने छ ।
22 But the Kenite is for a burning; Until when does Asshur keep you captive?”
तथापि अश्शूरले तिमीहरूलाई कैद गरेर लाँदा तिमीहरू आगोले नष्ट हुने छौ ।
23 And he takes up his allegory and says: “Woe! Who lives when God does this?
बालामले तिनको अन्तिम अगमवाणी भने, “धिक्कार! परमेश्वरले यसो गर्नुहुँदा कोचाँहि बाँच्छ?
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.”
कित्तीमको समुद्री तटबाट जहाजहरू आउने छन्; तिनीहरूले अश्शूरलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् र एबेरमाथि विजय हासिल गर्ने छन्, तर तिनीहरू अन्त पनि विनाशमा नै हुने छन् ।
25 And Balaam rises, and goes, and turns back to his place, and Balak has also gone on his way.
त्यसपछि बालाम उठे र हिँडे । तिनी आफ्नै घरतिर फर्के र बालाक पनि गए ।
