Numbers 23
1 Then said Balaam unto Balak: Build me here seven altars, —and prepare me here, seven bullocks and seven rams.
I AKU ia o Balaama ia Balaka, E hana oe no'u maanei i mau kuahu ehiku; e hoomakaukau hoi oe no'u i na bipikane ehiku a me na hipakane ehiku.
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken, —and Balak and Balaam caused to ascend a bullock and a ram on each altar.
Hana iho la o Balaka e like me ka Balaama i olelo aku ai; a mohai aku la o Balaka laua o Balaama ma kela kuahu ma keia kuahu i ka bipikane hookahi a me ka hipakane hookahi.
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.
I aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, E ku iho oe ma kau mohaikuni, a e hele aku wau; malia paha e hele mai no o Iehova e halawai mo au: a o ka mea ana e hoike mai ai ia'u, oia ka'u o hai aku ai ia oe. A hele aku la ia i kahi kiekie.
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.
A halawai mai la ke Akua me Balaama; i aku la hoi oia ia ia, Ua hoomakaukau no wau i na kuahu ehiku, ua mohai aku hoi au i ka bipikane a me ka hipakane maluna o kela kuahu o keia kuahu.
5 And Yahweh put a word into the mouth of Balaam, —and said—Return unto Balak, and, thus, shalt thou speak.
Waiho mai la o Iehova i wahi olelo ma ka waha o Balaama, i mai la, O hoi oe io Balaka la, a penei kau e olelo aku ai.
6 So he returned unto him, and lo! he was stationed by his ascending-sacrifice, —he, and all the princes of Moab.
A hoi hou ae la ia io na la: aia hoi, e ku ana oia ma kana mohaikuni, oia a me na luna a pau o Moaba.
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.
Hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, Na Balaka ke alii o Moaba au i lawe mai nei Mai Arama mai, mai na mauna o ka hikina; E hele mai, e hoino no'u i ka Iakoba, E hele mai, e hoohewa aku i ka Iseraela.
8 How can I revile one whom GOD hath not reviled? Yea, how can I rage on one on whom Yahweh hath not raged?
Pehea la au e hoino ai i ka ke Akua i hoino ole ai? Pehea la hoi au e hoohewa ai i ka Iehova i hoohewa ole ai?
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.
No ka mea, maluna o na pali ka'u e ike aku nei ia ia; Maluna hoi o na puu a'u e nana aku nei ia ia; Aia hoi, e noho kaawale ia poe kanaka, Aole hoi e huiia'ku me na lahuikanaka.
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!
Owai la e hiki ke helu i na hunalepo o Iakoba, A me ka lehulehu o ka hapaha o ka Iseraela? E ake au e make i ka make ana o ka mea pono, I like hoi kuu hope me kona!
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.
I mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Heaha keia au i hana mai ai ia'u? Kii aku la no wau ia oe o olelo hoino i kuu poe enemi; aia hoi, ua hoomaikai wale aku oe ia lakou.
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?
Olelo aku la kela, i aku la, Aole anei au e hoomanao e olelo aku i ka mea a Iehova i waiho mai ai iloko o kuu waha?
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.
I mai la o Balaka ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele pu kaua ma kahi e, malaila e ike aku ai oe ia lakou: e ike oe i kela aoao wale no, aole no e ike ia lakou a pau; a malaila oe e hoino ai ia lakou no'u.
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.
Kai aku la kela ia ia i kahi papu o Zopima, maluna pono o Pisega: hana iho la ia i na kuahu ehiku, a mohai aku la i ka bipikane a me ka hipakane ma kela kuahu a ma keia kuahu.
15 Then said he to Balak, Station thyself here by thine ascending-sacrifice, —while, I, meet him yonder.
I aku la ia ia Balaka, E ku oe maanei ma kau mohaikuni, a halawai aku wau me Iehova ma o.
16 And Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word into his mouth, —and said—Return unto Balak and thus shalt thou speak.
Halawai mai la o Iehova me Balaama, waiho mai la i olelo ma kona waha, i mai la, E hoi hon aku oe io Balaka la, e i aku oe penei.
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?
A hiki aku la ia io na la, aia hoi, ku iho la ia ma kana mohaikuni, a me ia pu na luna o Moaba; ninau mai la o Balaka ia ia, Heaha ka Iehova i olelo mai ai?
18 Then took he up his parable and said, —Rise, Balak, and hear, Give ear unto me son of Zippor!
Hai aku la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, E ku ae oe iluna, e Balaka, e hoolohe mai; E maliu mai oe ia'u, e ke keiki a Zipora,
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?
Aole ke Akua he kanaka, i hoopunipuni mai ai ia; Aole hoi ia he keiki a ke kanaka i mihi ia: Ua i mai no ia, aole anei ia e hana mai no hoi? Ua olelo mai no oia, aole anei ia e hooko?
20 Lo! to bless, have I received [command], —And I will bless, nor will I take it back.
Aia hoi, ua loaa ia'u ka olelo hoomaikai aku; Ua hoomaikai no oia, aole e hiki ia'u ke hoololi ae.
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:
Aole ia i ike i ka hewa iloko o ka Iakoba, Aole hoi oia i ike i ke kekee iloko o ka Iseraela; Me ia no o Iehova o kona Akua, Iwaena hoi o lakou ka hooho alii.
22 GOD having brought them forth out of Egypt, The very horns of the buffalo, are his:
Na ke Akua lakou i lawe mai, mai Aigupita mai: Ia ia no ka ikaika me he reema la.
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!
He oiaio, aole no he kilokilo aku i ka Iakoba, Aole hoi he anaana aku i ka Iseraela: Ma ia hope e oleloia mai no ka Iakoba, a no ka Iseraela, Kupaianaha ka hana ana a ke Akua!
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.
Aia hoi, e ala'e keia poe kanaka me he lionawahine la. E ku ae hoi ia e like me ka lionakane; Aole ia e moe hou, a ai iho ia i ke pio, A e inu hoi i ke koko o ka mea i pepehiia.
25 Then said Balak unto Balaam, Thou shalt neither revile, him, —nor bless him.
I mai la o Balaka ia ia, Mai hoino iki aku ia lakou, aole hoi e hoomaikai iki aku.
26 And Balaam responded, and said unto Balak, —Spake I not unto thee, saying, All that Yahweh shall speak, that, must I do?
Olelo aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, i aku la, Aole anei au i i aku ia oe, O ka mea a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia'u, oia ka'u e hana i?
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.
I mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele mai, a e kai aku au ia oe i kahi e; malia paha e oluolu ke Akua i hoino aku ai oe ia lakou malaila.
28 So Balak took Balaam, —unto the head of Peor, that looketh over the face of the Jeshimon.
Kai aku la o Balaka ia Balaama maluna pono o Peora, e nana aku ana i Iesimona.
29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here, seven altars, —and prepare me here, seven bullocks and seven rams.
I aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, E hana oe no'u i ehiku mau kuahu maanei, a e hoomakaukau no'u maanei i ehiku mau bipikane a me na hipakane i ehiku.
30 And Balak did as Balaam said, —and caused to ascend a bullock and a ram on each altar.
Hana iho la o Balaka e like me ka Balaama i olelo ai, a mohai aku la i ka bipikane a me ka hipakane maluna o kela kuahu o keia kuahu.
