< Numbers 23 >
1 Balaam said to Balak, "Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams."
Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: uztaisi man šeitan septiņus altārus un sataisi man še septiņus vēršus un septiņus aunus.
2 Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.
Tad Balaks tā darīja, kā Bileāms bija sacījis, un Balaks un Bileāms upurēja vērsi un aunu uz ikviena altāra.
3 Balaam said to Balak, "Station yourself by your burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps God will come to meet me, and whatever he shows me I will tell you." And Balak went off and stationed himself by his offering, and Balaam called to God and went off to a barren height.
Un Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: paliec pie sava dedzināmā upura stāvot; es iešu, vai Tas Kungs man nenāks pretī; un ko Viņš man rādīs, to es tev atsacīšu. Tad viņš gāja uz vienu kalnu.
4 And God met Balaam, and he said to him, "I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar."
Un Dievs sastapa Bileāmu, un tas uz Viņu sacīja: septiņus altārus es esmu uztaisījis un vērsi un aunu upurējis uz ikviena altāra.
5 And God put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, "Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak."
Tad Tas Kungs lika Bileāma mutē to vārdu un sacīja: griezies atpakaļ pie Balaka un runā tā.
6 He returned to him, and look, he was standing by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
Un kad viņš pie šī atgriezās, redzi, tad šis stāvēja pie sava dedzināmā upura ar visiem Moaba lielkungiem.
7 He took up his parable, and said, "From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. 'Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.'
Tad viņš sāka teikt savu sakāmo un sacīja: no Aramas Balaks, Moabiešu ķēniņš, mani atvedis, - no tiem kalniem pret rītiem: nāc, nolādi man Jēkabu, un nāc, nosodi Israēli.
8 How shall I curse whom Jehovah has not cursed? How shall I defy whom God has not defied?
Kā lai es nolādu, ko Dievs nelād, un kā lai es nosodu, ko Tas Kungs nesoda?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him. From the hills I see him. Look, it is a people that dwells alone, and not counting itself among the nations.
Jo no augstas klints es viņu redzu, un no tiem kalniem es to ieraugu; redzi, tauta, kas savrup dzīvo un nepieskaitās pagāniem!
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and who has numbered the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous. Let my last end be like his."
Kas izskaitīs Jēkaba pīšļus vai Israēla skaita ceturto daļu? Lai mana dvēsele mirst šo taisno nāvē, un lai mans pastara gals ir tāds kā viņiem.
11 Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and look, you have blessed them altogether."
Tad Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: ko tu man esi darījis? Es tevi esmu aicinājis, manus ienaidniekus nolādēt, un redzi, tu tos svētīdams esi svētījis.
12 He answered and said, "Must I not be careful to speak that which God puts in my mouth?"
Tad viņš atbildēja un sacīja: vai man nav jādara, ko Tas Kungs mana mutē licis runāt?
13 Balak said to him, "Please come with me to another place, where you may see them; you shall see but the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all; and curse them for me from there."
Tad Balaks viņam sacīja: nāc jel man līdz uz citu vietu, no kurienes tu viņus vari redzēt; tu tikai vienu galu no viņiem esi redzējis un visus tu neesi redzējis; - un nolādi man tos no turienes.
14 He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
Tā viņš to ņēma līdz uz Cofim tīrumu, uz Pizgas kalngalu, un uztaisīja septiņus altārus un upurēja vērsi un aunu uz ikviena altāra.
15 He said to Balak, "Station yourself here by your burnt offering, while I meet over there."
Un viņš sacīja uz Balaku: paliec šeitan pie sava dedzināmā upura, es tur iešu pretī.
16 And God met Balaam and put a word in his mouth, and said, "Return to Balak, and say this."
Tad Tas Kungs sastapa Bileāmu un lika viņa mutē to vārdu un sacīja: griezies atpakaļ pie Balaka un runā tā.
17 He came to him, and look, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, "What has Jehovah spoken?"
Kad nu viņš pie šī nāca, tad šis stāvēja pie sava dedzināmā upura un Moaba lielkungi pie viņa. Tad Balaks viņam sacīja: ko Tas Kungs ir runājis?
18 He took up his parable, and said, "Rise up, Balak, and hear. Listen to me, you son of Zippor.
Tad viņš sāka savu teikumu teikt un sacīja: celies, Balak un klausies! Griez savas ausis uz mani, tu Cipora dēls.
19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?
Dievs nav cilvēks, ka melotu, nedz cilvēka bērns, ka Viņam kas būtu žēl. Vai Viņš ko sacītu un nedarītu, vai Viņš ko runātu un neturētu?
20 Look, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can't reverse it.
Redzi, man ir pavēlēts svētīt; Viņš ir svētījis, un es nedarīšu citādi.
21 He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. Jehovah his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.
Noziegumu Viņš neredz iekš Jēkaba un ļaunumu neatrod iekš Israēla; Tas Kungs, viņa Dievs, ir ar viņu, un ķēniņa prieki pie viņa.
22 God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.
Dievs tos ir izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes; spēki viņam ir kā sūbram.
23 Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, what has God done.
Jo zīlēšana neder pret Jēkabu un buršana neder pret Israēli. Savā laikā Jēkabam top sacīts un Israēlim, ko Dievs dara.
24 Look, the people rises up as a lioness, as a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain."
Redzi, tauta, kas ceļas kā lauvas māte un kas šaujās augšā kā lauva; neapgulstās, kamēr laupījums aprīts un dzer nokauto asinis.
25 Balak said to Balaam, "Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all."
Tad Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: tev nemaz nebūs viņu ne lādēt, ne svētīt.
26 But Balaam answered Balak, "Did I not tell you, saying, 'All that God speaks, that I must do?'"
Bet Bileāms atbildēja un sacīja uz Balaku: vai es uz tevi neesmu runājis sacīdams: visu, ko Tas Kungs runās, to es darīšu?
27 Balak said to Balaam, "Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there."
Tad Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: nāc jel, es tev ņemšu līdz uz kādu citu vietu; varbūt Dievam patiks, ka tu man viņu no turienes nolādi.
28 Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert.
Tad Balaks Bileāmu veda uz Peora kalngalu, kas pret tuksnesi stiepjas.
29 Balaam said to Balak, "Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams."
Un Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: uztaisi man šeit septiņus altārus un sataisi man septiņus vēršus un septiņus aunus.
30 Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
Tad Balaks darīja, kā Bileāms bija sacījis, un upurēja vērsi un aunu uz ikviena altāra.
