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;
И видев Валаам, яко добро есть пред Господем благословляти Израиля, не иде по обычаю своему в сретение волхвованием, и возврати лице свое в пустыню.
2 and Balaam lifts up his eyes, and sees Israel dwelling by its tribes, and the Spirit of God is on him,
И возвед Валаам очи свои, узре Израиля ополчившася по племеном: и бысть Дух Божий на нем.
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,
И восприим притчу свою рече: глаголет Валаам, сын Веоров, глаголет человек истинно зряй,
4 An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God, Who sees a vision of the Almighty, Falling—and eyes uncovered:
глаголет слушаяй словеса Крепкаго, иже видение Божие виде во сне: отверсты очи его:
5 How good have been your tents, O Jacob, Your dwelling places, O Israel;
коль добри доми твои, Иакове, и кущы твоя, Израилю:
6 They have been stretched out as valleys, As gardens by a river; As aloes YHWH has planted, As cedars by waters;
яко дубравы осеняющыя и яко садие при реках, и яко кущы, яже водрузи Господь, и яко кедри при водах:
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.
изыдет человек от семене его, и обладает языки многими: и возвысится паче Гога царство его, и возрастет царство его:
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.
Бог изведе его из Египта, якоже слава единорога ему: пояст языки враг своих и толщы их измождит, и стрелами своими устрелит врага:
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.”
возлег почи яко лев и яко скимен: кто возбудит его? Благословящии тя благословени, и проклинающии тя прокляти.
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;
И разгневася Валак на Валаама, и плесну руками своими, и рече Валак к Валааму: кляти тя врага моего призвах, и се, благословил еси их в третие:
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.”
ныне убо бежи на место свое: рекох, почту тя: и ныне лиши тя Господь славы.
12 And Balaam says to Balak, “Did I not also speak to your messengers whom you have sent to me, saying,
И рече Валаам к Валаку: и послом твоим, ихже послал еси ко мне, не рекох ли, глаголя:
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?
аще ми даст Валак храмину свою полну сребра и злата, не могу преступити слова Божия, еже сотворити е зло или добро от мене самаго: елика аще речет ми Бог, сия возглаголю?
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.”
И ныне, се, иду до места своего: гряди, присоветую тебе, что сотворят людие сии людем твоим, в последняя дни.
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;
И восприим притчу свою рече: глаголет Валаам сын Веоров, глаголет человек истинно зряй,
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:
слышай словеса Божия, умея умение Вышняго и видение Божие видевый во сне: отверсты очи его:
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.
покажу ему, и не ныне: ублажаю, и не приближается: возсияет звезда от Иакова, и востанет человек от Израиля и погубит князи Моавитския, и пленит вся сыны Сифовы:
18 And Edom has been a possession, And Seir has been a possession [for] his enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;
и будет Едом наследие, и будет наследие Исав враг его, и Израиль сотвори крепость:
19 And [One] rules out of Jacob, And has destroyed a remnant from the city.”
и востанет от Иакова, и погубит спасаемаго от града.
20 And he sees Amalek, and takes up his allegory, and says: “Amalek [is] first [among] nations, But his latter end—destruction forever.”
И видев Амалика и восприим притчу свою, рече: начало языков Амалик, и семя их погибнет.
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,
И видев Кенеона и восприим притчу свою, рече: сильно селение твое: и аще положиши на камени гнездо твое,
22 But the Kenite is for a burning; Until when does Asshur keep you captive?”
и аще будет Веору гнездо коварства, Ассириане пленят тя.
23 And he takes up his allegory and says: “Woe! Who lives when God does this?
И видев Ога и восприим притчу свою, рече: горе, горе, кто жив будет, егда положит Бог сия?
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.”
И изыдут из рук Китиейских, и озлобят Ассура, и озлобят Евреов, и сами вкупе погибнут.
25 And Balaam rises, and goes, and turns back to his place, and Balak has also gone on his way.
И востав Валаам отиде, возвратився на место свое: и Валак отиде к себе.
