Numbers 23
1 Then said Balaam unto Balak: Build me here seven altars, —and prepare me here, seven bullocks and seven rams.
Balaam nowacho niya, “Gerna kende abiriyo mag misango ka, kendo ikna rwedhi abiriyo kod imbe abiriyo.”
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken, —and Balak and Balaam caused to ascend a bullock and a ram on each altar.
Balak notimo kaka Balaam nowacho, kendo negichiwo rwath gi im ewi kendo ka kendo mar misango.
3 Then said Balaam unto Balak: Station thyself by thine ascending-sacrifice, and let me go my way—peradventure Yahweh may come and meet me, and what thing soever he may show me, I will tell thee. So he went his way to a bare height.
Eka Balaam nowacho ne Balak niya, “Bed but misango ka, ka an to alengʼora e bathe ka; nimar sa moro dipo ka Jehova Nyasaye ofwenyorena. Gimoro amora monyisa to abiro nyisi.” Eka nowuok modhi kama otingʼore gi malo motwo.
4 And God came unto Balaam, —so he said unto him The seven altars, have I built in a row, and have caused to ascend, bullock and a ram on each altar.
Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Balaam kendo Balaam nowachone niya, “Aseloso kende abiriyo mag misango, kendo ewi kendo ka kendo asechiwe misango mar rwath kod im.”
5 And Yahweh put a word into the mouth of Balaam, —and said—Return unto Balak, and, thus, shalt thou speak.
Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo Balaam ote kowachone niya, “Dog ir Balak kendo imiye wachni.”
6 So he returned unto him, and lo! he was stationed by his ascending-sacrifice, —he, and all the princes of Moab.
Omiyo nodok moyudo Balak kochungʼ but misango mane osechiwo ka en gi jodong Moab duto.
7 So he took up his parable and said, —From Aram, doth Balak conduct me, The king of Moab, from the mountains of the East, Come thou! curse me Jacob, Yea, come thou! rage on Israel.
Eka Balaam nohulo ote moa kuom Nyasaye kama: “Balak ruodh Moab manie piny gode man yo wuok chiengʼ nooma Aram. Nowacho ni, ‘Bi mondo ikwongʼna Jakobo; bi mondo ikwedna jo-Israel.’
8 How can I revile one whom GOD hath not reviled? Yea, how can I rage on one on whom Yahweh hath not raged?
Ere kaka anyalo kwongʼo joma Nyasaye pok okwongʼo? Ere kaka anyalo kwedo joma Jehova Nyasaye pok okwedo?
9 Surely from the head of the rocks, do I see him, Yea, from the hills, do I observe him, —Lo! a people, who alone doth dwell, And among the nations, he doth not reckon himself.
Anenogi ka achungʼ ewi kite mabeyo; kendo arangogi gi ewi gode. Aneno oganda modak kar kendgi ma ok oseriwore gi ogendini mamoko.
10 Who hath counted the dust of Jacob? Or who hath numbered the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the upright, And let my hereafter be like his!
Ere ngʼama nyalo kwano kar romb oganda joka Jakobo machalo gi buru kata ngʼama nyalo kwano migawo mar angʼwen mar Israel? Weuru atho kaka joma kare tho, kendo mad giko mara ochal kod margi!”
11 Then said Balak unto Balaam, What hast thou done for me? To revile mine enemies, I summoned thee, and lo! thou hast kept on blessing.
Balak nopenjo Balaam niya, “En angʼo ma isetimona? Ne aomi mondo ikwongʼ wasika, to onge gima isetimo makmana gwedhogi!”
12 And he answered and said, —Was it not to be so that whatsoever Yahweh should put into my mouth, the same, should I take heed to speak?
Nodwoke niya, “Ok anyal wacho gima Jehova Nyasaye ne ok onyisa?”
13 Then said Balak unto him—Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see him, nothing but his utmost part, shalt thou see, but all of him, shalt thou not see, —and so revile me him from thence.
Eka Balak nowachone niya, “Bi wadhi kamoro machielo kama inyalo nenogie; ibiro mana neno moko kuomgi to ok giduto. To ka isenenogi, to ikwongʼnagi.”
14 And he took him to the field of Zophim, unto the head of Pisgah, —and built seven altars, and caused to ascend a bullock and a ram on each altar.
Omiyo notere e pap mar Zofim mantiere ewi Got Pisga, kendo kanyo nogero kende mag misango abiriyo mi nochiwo misango mar rwath kod im ewi kendo ka kendo.
15 Then said he to Balak, Station thyself here by thine ascending-sacrifice, —while, I, meet him yonder.
Balaam nowacho ne Balak niya, “Bed but misangoni ka, ka anto adhi romo gi Nyasaye bathe kocha.”
16 And Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word into his mouth, —and said—Return unto Balak and thus shalt thou speak.
Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Balaam kendo nomiyo Balaam ote kowachone niya, “Dog ir Balak kendo imiye wachni.”
17 So he came in unto him and, there he was-stationed by his ascending-sacrifice, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath Yahweh spoken?
Omiyo nodok moyudo Balak kochungʼ but misangone, ka en-gi jodong Moab. Balak nopenje niya, “Angʼo mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho?”
18 Then took he up his parable and said, —Rise, Balak, and hear, Give ear unto me son of Zippor!
Eka Balaam nohulo ote moa kuom Nyasaye kama: Aa malo, Balak, kendo ichik iti; winja, wuod Zipor.
19 GOD is, not a man, that he should lie, Nor a son of Adam, that he should repent, —Hath, he, said, and will not perform? Yea spoken, and will not make it stand fast?
Nyasaye ok en dhano, mondo omi oriambi, kata ok en wuod dhano, mondo omi olok pache. Bende onyalo wuoyo to ok otim kaka owacho? Bende onyalo chiwo singo, to ok ochop singruokno?
20 Lo! to bless, have I received [command], —And I will bless, nor will I take it back.
Ne ayudo chik mondo achiw gweth; osegwedhogi, kendo ok anyal loko mano.
21 He hath not discovered trouble in Jacob, Neither hath he seen wretchedness in Israel, —Yahweh, his God, is with him, And, the acclaim of a king, in his midst:
“Onge kido magalagala moyud kuom Jakobo, kata tim moro marach moyud kuom Israel. Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi ni kodgi; teko mar Ruoth ni kodgi.
22 GOD having brought them forth out of Egypt, The very horns of the buffalo, are his:
Nyasaye nogologi Misri; tekogi chalo gi teko jowi.
23 Surely, there is no enchantment against Jacob, Nor divination against Israel, —Now, shall it be said—Of Jacob and of Israel, What hath GOD wrought!
Onge tim jwok manyalo mako joka Jakobo, kendo timbe ndagla ok nyal mako Israel. Ibiro goyo ngero kuom joka Jakobo ma Israel ni, ‘Ne gima Nyasaye osetimo!’
24 Lo, a people, like a lioness, shall rise, And like a strong lion, shall rouse himself up; He will not lie down till he eat the torn, And the blood of the slain, he drink.
Ogandani ger mana ka sibuor madhako; kendo gijuol ka sibuor madichwo, ma ok nyal nindo piny nyaka ocham gima onego momadh rembe.”
25 Then said Balak unto Balaam, Thou shalt neither revile, him, —nor bless him.
Eka Balak nowacho ne Balaam niya, “Kare koro kik ikwongʼ-gi kata kik igwedhgi!”
26 And Balaam responded, and said unto Balak, —Spake I not unto thee, saying, All that Yahweh shall speak, that, must I do?
Balaam nodwoke niya, “Donge ne anyisi ni nyaka atim mana gima Jehova Nyasaye onyisa?”
27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee! let me take thee unto another place, —peradventure, it may be right in the eyes of God, that thou revile me him. from thence.
Eka Balak nowacho ne Balaam niya, “Bi wadhi kamachielo. Dibed ni biro bedo maber ne Nyasaye mondo ikwongʼnagi kanyo.”
28 So Balak took Balaam, —unto the head of Peor, that looketh over the face of the Jeshimon.
Kendo Balak nokawo Balaam nyaka ewi Peor, momanyore gi kama otwo.
29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here, seven altars, —and prepare me here, seven bullocks and seven rams.
Balaam nowacho niya, “Gerna kende abiriyo mag misango kae, kendo ikna rwedhi abiriyo kod imbe abiriyo.”
30 And Balak did as Balaam said, —and caused to ascend a bullock and a ram on each altar.
Balak notimo kaka Balaam nonyise kendo nochiwo misango mar rwath kod im ewi kendo ka kendo mar misango.
