Numbers 24
1 When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go, as at the other times, to meet with omens, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى بَلْعَامُ أَنَّهُ يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ يُبَارِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَمْ يَنْطَلِقْ كَٱلْمَرَّةِ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِيُوافِيَ فَأْلًا، بَلْ جَعَلَ نَحْوَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَجْهَهُ. | ١ |
2 Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
| وَرَفَعَ بَلْعَامُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَرَأَى إِسْرَائِيلَ حَالًّا حَسَبَ أَسْبَاطِهِ، فَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱللهِ، | ٢ |
3 He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;
| فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «وَحْيُ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ. وَحْيُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْمَفْتُوحِ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ٣ |
4 he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of Shaddai, falling down, and having his eyes open:
| وَحْيُ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ ٱللهِ. ٱلَّذِي يَرَى رُؤْيَا ٱلْقَدِيرِ، مَطْرُوحًا وَهُوَ مَكْشُوفُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ: | ٤ |
5 How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your tents, Israel.
| مَا أَحْسَنَ خِيَامَكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ، مَسَاكِنَكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ! | ٥ |
6 As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which the LORD has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.
| كَأَوْدِيَةٍ مُمْتَدَّةٍ. كَجَنَّاتٍ عَلَى نَهْرٍ، كَشَجَرَاتِ عُودٍ غَرَسَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ. كَأَرْزَاتٍ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ. | ٦ |
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.
| يَجْرِي مَاءٌ مِنْ دِلَائِهِ، وَيَكُونُ زَرْعُهُ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ غَزِيرَةٍ، وَيَتَسَامَى مَلِكُهُ عَلَى أَجَاجَ وَتَرْتَفِعُ مَمْلَكَتُهُ. | ٧ |
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.
| ٱللهُ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ. لَهُ مِثْلُ سُرْعَةِ ٱلرِّئْمِ. يَأْكُلُ أُمَمًا، مُضَايِقِيهِ، وَيَقْضِمُ عِظَامَهُمْ وَيُحَطِّمُ سِهَامَهُ. | ٨ |
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."
| جَثَمَ كَأَسَدٍ. رَبَضَ كَلَبْوَةٍ. مَنْ يُقِيمُهُ؟ مُبَارِكُكَ مُبَارَكٌ، وَلَاعِنُكَ مَلْعُونٌ». | ٩ |
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.
| فَٱشْتَعَلَ غَضَبُ بَالَاقَ عَلَى بَلْعَامَ، وَصَفَّقَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ بَالَاقُ لِبَلْعَامَ: «لِتَشْتِمَ أَعْدَائِي دَعَوْتُكَ، وَهُوَذَا أَنْتَ قَدْ بَارَكْتَهُمُ ٱلْآنَ ثَلَاثَ دَفَعَاتٍ. | ١٠ |
11 Therefore now flee you to your place. I thought to promote you to great honor; but, look, the LORD has kept you back from honor."
| فَٱلْآنَ ٱهْرُبْ إِلَى مَكَانِكَ. قُلْتُ أُكْرِمُكَ إِكْرَامًا، وَهُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ مَنَعَكَ عَنِ ٱلْكَرَامَةِ». | ١١ |
12 Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not also tell your messengers who you sent to me, saying,
| فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِبَالَاقَ: «أَلَمْ أُكَلِّمْ أَيْضًا رُسُلَكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا: | ١٢ |
13 'If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of the LORD, to do either good or bad in my heart. I will say what God says'?
| وَلَوْ أَعْطَانِي بَالَاقُ مِلْءَ بَيْتِهِ فِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَتَجَاوَزَ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَعْمَلَ خَيْرًا أَوْ شَرًّا مِنْ نَفْسِي. ٱلَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِيَّاهُ أَتَكَلَّمُ. | ١٣ |
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."
| وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا أَنَا مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى شَعْبِي. هَلُمَّ أُنْبِئْكَ بِمَا يَفْعَلُهُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ بِشَعْبِكَ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». | ١٤ |
15 He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;
| ثُمَّ نَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «وَحْيُ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ. وَحْيُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْمَفْتُوحِ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ١٥ |
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:
| وَحْيُ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ ٱللهِ وَيَعْرِفُ مَعْرِفَةَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ. ٱلَّذِي يَرَى رُؤْيَا ٱلْقَدِيرِ سَاقِطًا وَهُوَ مَكْشُوفُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ: | ١٦ |
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.
| أَرَاهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ ٱلْآنَ. أُبْصِرُهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ قَرِيبًا. يَبْرُزُ كَوْكَبٌ مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَقُومُ قَضِيبٌ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيُحَطِّمُ طَرَفَيْ مُوآبَ، وَيُهْلِكُ كُلَّ بَنِي ٱلْوَغَى. | ١٧ |
18 Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemies, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.
| وَيَكُونُ أَدُومُ مِيرَاثًا، وَيَكُونُ سِعِيرُ أَعْدَاؤُهُ مِيرَاثًا. وَيَصْنَعُ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِبَأْسٍ. | ١٨ |
19 Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city."
| وَيَتَسَلَّطُ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَهْلِكُ ٱلشَّارِدُ مِنْ مَدِينَةٍ». | ١٩ |
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."
| ثُمَّ رَأَى عَمَالِيقَ فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «عَمَالِيقُ أَوَّلُ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَمَّا آخِرَتُهُ فَإِلَى ٱلْهَلَاكِ». | ٢٠ |
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.
| ثُمَّ رَأَى ٱلْقِينِيَّ فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «لِيَكُنْ مَسْكَنُكَ مَتِينًا، وَعُشُّكَ مَوْضُوعًا فِي صَخْرَةٍ. | ٢١ |
22 Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive."
| لَكِنْ يَكُونُ قَايِنُ لِلدَّمَارِ. حَتَّى مَتَى يَسْتَأْسِرُكَ أَشُّورُ؟». | ٢٢ |
23 He took up his parable, and said, "Alas, who shall live when God does this?
| ثُمَّ نَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «آهْ! مَنْ يَعِيشُ حِينَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ؟ | ٢٣ |
24 But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction."
| وَتَأْتِي سُفُنٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ كِتِّيمَ وَتُخْضِعُ أَشُّورَ، وَتُخْضِعُ عَابِرَ، فَهُوَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْهَلَاكِ». | ٢٤ |
25 Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
| ثُمَّ قَامَ بَلْعَامُ وَٱنْطَلَقَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. وَبَالَاقُ أَيْضًا ذَهَبَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ. | ٢٥ |
