Numbers 24
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments, but he set 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 lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
तिनले आँखा खोलेर इस्राएल कुल-कुल गरी आ-आफ्नो छाउनीमा देखे र परमेश्वरका आत्मा तिनीमाथि आयो ।
3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, And the man whose eye was closed saith:
तिनले यो अगमवाणी पाए र भने, “बओरका छोरा बालाम बोल्न लाग्दै छ, जुन मानिसका आँखा खुला छन्, त्यसका वाणी ।
4 He saith, which heareth the words of God, Which seeth the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:
तिनले परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्छ र बोल्छ । त्यसले सर्वशक्तिमान्बाट दर्शन प्राप्त गर्छ, जसको सामु त्यसले आँखा खुला राखेर दण्डवत् गर्छ ।
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, Thy tabernacles, O Israel!
हे याकूब, तिम्रा पालहरू र तिमी बस्ने ठाउँ कति सुन्दर छन्!
6 As valleys are they spread forth, As gardens by the river side, As lign-aloes which the LORD hath planted, As cedar trees beside the waters.
तिनीहरू उपत्यकाझैँ, नदी किनारको बगैँचाझैँ, परमप्रभुले रोप्नुभएको एलवाहरूजस्तै र पानी छेउका देवदारुजस्तै फैलिएका छन् ।
7 Water shall flow from his buckets, And his seed shall be in many waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, And his kingdom shall be exalted.
तिनीहरूका गाग्राहरूबाट पानी बग्छ र तिनीहरूका बिउहरू सुसिंचित छन् । तिनीहरूका राजा अगागभन्दा उच्च छन् र तिनीहरूका राज्यलाई आदर गरिने छ ।
8 God bringeth him forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox: He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, And shall break their bones in pieces, And smite [them] through 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 couched, he lay down as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be every one that blesseth thee, And cursed be every one that curseth thee.
तिनले सिंह, सिंहनीझै ढुक्छन् । तिनलाई उठाउने कसको आँट छ र? तिनलाई आशिष् दिने सबै आशिषित्् होऊन्; तिनलाई सराप दिने सबै श्रापित होऊन् ।”
10 And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them 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 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
त्यसैले अहिले नै गइहाल्नुहोस् । मैले तपाईंलाई भव्य इनाम दिन्छु भनेको थिएँ, तर परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई इनाम पाउनबाट वञ्चित गर्नुभएको छ ।”
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
त्यसपछि बालामले बालाकलाई जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंले मकहाँ पठाउनुभएका सन्देशवाहकहरूलाई भने,
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; what the LORD speaketh, that will 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 go unto my people: come, [and] I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter 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 took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, And the man whose eye was closed saith:
बालामले अगमवाणी गर्न थाले, “बओरका छोरा बालाम भन्छ, त्यो मानिस जसको आँखा खुला छन्, त्यसको वाणी ।
16 He saith, which heareth the words of God, And knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, Which seeth the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:
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 nigh: There shall come forth a star out of Jacob, And a sceptre shall rise out of Israel, And shall smite through the corners of Moab, And break down all the sons of tumult.
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 shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession, [which were] his enemies; While Israel doeth valiantly.
त्यसपछि एदोम इस्राएलको सम्पत्ति बन्ने छ र सेइर इस्राएलको अधीनमा हुने छ इस्राएलका शत्रुहरू जसलाई इस्राएलले बलले जित्नेछ ।
19 And out of Jacob shall one have dominion, And shall destroy the remnant from the city.
याकूबबाट एउटा राजा आउने छ जसले शासन गर्ने छ र तिनले तिनीहरूका सहरहरूका बाँचेकाहरूलाई नष्ट पार्ने छन् ।”
20 And he looked on Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; But his latter end shall come to destruction.
त्यसपछि बालामले अमालेकतिर हेरे र अगमवाणी गर्न थाले, “अमालेक एक पटक जातिहरूमध्ये सबैभन्दा ठुलो थियो, तर त्यसको अन्त विनाश हुने छ ।”
21 And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling place, And thy nest is set in the rock.
अनि बालामले केनीहरूतिर हेरे र अगमवाणी गर्न थाले, “तिमीहरू बस्ने ठाउँ बलियो छ र तिमीहरूका गुँड चट्टान हुने छ ।
22 Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, Until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
तथापि अश्शूरले तिमीहरूलाई कैद गरेर लाँदा तिमीहरू आगोले नष्ट हुने छौ ।
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this?
बालामले तिनको अन्तिम अगमवाणी भने, “धिक्कार! परमेश्वरले यसो गर्नुहुँदा कोचाँहि बाँच्छ?
24 But ships [shall come] from the coast of Kittim, And they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, And he also shall come to destruction.
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 rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
त्यसपछि बालाम उठे र हिँडे । तिनी आफ्नै घरतिर फर्के र बालाक पनि गए ।
