Numbers 24
1 When Balaam saw that it pleased Jehovah to bless Israel, he did not go, as at the other times, to meet with omens, but he set 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 Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
И возвед Валаам очи свои, узре Израиля ополчившася по племеном: и бысть Дух Божий на нем.
3 He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;
И восприим притчу свою рече: глаголет Валаам, сын Веоров, глаголет человек истинно зряй,
4 he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of Shaddai, falling down, and having his eyes open:
глаголет слушаяй словеса Крепкаго, иже видение Божие виде во сне: отверсты очи его:
5 How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your tents, Israel.
коль добри доми твои, Иакове, и кущы твоя, Израилю:
6 As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which Jehovah has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.
яко дубравы осеняющыя и яко садие при реках, и яко кущы, яже водрузи Господь, и яко кедри при водах:
7 Water shall flow from his buckets. His seed shall be in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag. His kingdom shall be exalted.
изыдет человек от семене его, и обладает языки многими: и возвысится паче Гога царство его, и возрастет царство его:
8 God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them 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 couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. Everyone who curses you is cursed."
возлег почи яко лев и яко скимен: кто возбудит его? Благословящии тя благословени, и проклинающии тя прокляти.
10 Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, and, look, you have altogether blessed them 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 Therefore now flee you to your place. I thought to promote you to great honor; but, look, Jehovah has kept you back from honor."
ныне убо бежи на место свое: рекох, почту тя: и ныне лиши тя Господь славы.
12 Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not also tell your messengers who you sent to me, saying,
И рече Валаам к Валаку: и послом твоим, ихже послал еси ко мне, не рекох ли, глаголя:
13 'If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of Jehovah, to do either good or bad in my heart. I will say what God says'?
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 Now, look, I go to my people: come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days."
И ныне, се, иду до места своего: гряди, присоветую тебе, что сотворят людие сии людем твоим, в последняя дни.
15 He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;
И восприим притчу свою рече: глаголет Валаам сын Веоров, глаголет человек истинно зряй,
16 he says, who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and who sees the vision of Shaddai, falling down, and having his eyes open:
слышай словеса Божия, умея умение Вышняго и видение Божие видевый во сне: отверсты очи его:
17 I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and will crush the forehead of Moab, and the crown of all the sons of tumult.
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 Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemies, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.
и будет Едом наследие, и будет наследие Исав враг его, и Израиль сотвори крепость:
19 Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city."
и востанет от Иакова, и погубит спасаемаго от града.
20 He looked at Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, "Amalek was the first of the nations, But his latter end shall come to destruction."
И видев Амалика и восприим притчу свою, рече: начало языков Амалик, и семя их погибнет.
21 He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, "Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.
И видев Кенеона и восприим притчу свою, рече: сильно селение твое: и аще положиши на камени гнездо твое,
22 Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive."
и аще будет Веору гнездо коварства, Ассириане пленят тя.
23 He took up his parable, and said, "Alas, who shall live when God does this?
И видев Ога и восприим притчу свою, рече: горе, горе, кто жив будет, егда положит Бог сия?
24 But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction."
И изыдут из рук Китиейских, и озлобят Ассура, и озлобят Евреов, и сами вкупе погибнут.
25 Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
И востав Валаам отиде, возвратився на место свое: и Валак отиде к себе.
