Numbers 23
1 And he said Balaam to Balak build for me in this [place] seven altars and prepare for me in this [place] seven young bulls and seven rams.
Balami alobaki na Balaki: « Tongela ngai bitumbelo sambo awa mpe bongisela ngai bangombe ya mibali mpe bameme ya mibali sambo. »
2 And he did Balak just as he had spoken Balaam and he offered up Balak and Balaam a young bull and a ram on the altar.
Balaki asalaki ndenge Balami alobaki, mpe bango mibale babonzaki bangombe ya mibali mpe bameme ya mibali wana na etumbelo moko na moko.
3 And he said Balaam to Balak take your stand with burnt offering your so let me go perhaps he will meet Yahweh to meet me and [the] word of whatever he will show me and I will tell to you and he went a bare height.
Alobaki na Balaki: « Telema awa, pembeni ya mbeka na yo, bongo ngai napusani mwa mosika. Tango mosusu Yawe akoya kokutana na ngai, bongo nakoyebisa yo makambo nyonso oyo akolakisa ngai. » Balami akendeki likolo ya ngomba moko ya mokuse mpe ezanga matiti.
4 And he met God Balaam and he said to him [the] seven the altars I have arranged and I have offered up a young bull and a ram on the altar.
Nzambe akutanaki na Balami, mpe Balami alobaki: — Nabongisaki bitumbelo sambo; mpe na etumbelo moko na moko, nasili kobonza ngombe ya mobali mpe meme ya mobali moko.
5 And he put Yahweh a word in [the] mouth of Balaam and he said return to Balak and thus you will speak.
Yawe atiaki maloba na monoko ya Balami mpe alobaki: — Zonga epai ya Balaki mpe yebisa ye maloba oyo.
6 And he returned to him and there! [he was] standing with burnt offering his he and all [the] leaders of Moab.
Bongo Balami azongaki epai ya Balaki mpe akutaki ye atelemi pembeni ya mbeka na ye, elongo na bakambi nyonso ya Moabi.
7 And he lifted up oracle his and he said from Aram he led me Balak [the] king of Moab from [the] mountains of [the] east come! curse! for me Jacob and come! denounce! Israel.
Boye, Balami akomaki koloba maloba oyo: « Balaki abengisaki ngai wuta na Arami, mokonzi ya Moabi abengisaki ngai wuta na bangomba ya este. Alobaki: ‹ Yaka, lakela Jakobi mabe mpo na ngai; yaka, loba mabe mpo na Isalaele.
8 What? will I curse [one whom] not he has cursed him God and what? will I denounce [one whom] not he has denounced Yahweh.
Ndenge nini nakoki solo kolakela mabe bato oyo Nzambe alakela mabe te? Ndenge nini nakoki solo koloba mabe mpo na bato oyo Yawe alobela mabe te?
9 For from [the] top of [the] rocks I see him and from [the] hills I observe him there! a people [which] alone it dwells and among the nations not it reckons itself.
Tala, wuta na likolo ya mabanga, nazali komona bango; wuta na likolo ya bangomba, nazali kotala bango. Tala, nazali komona bato moko bavanda bango moko, bazali komitanga na molongo ya bikolo te.
10 Who? has he counted [the] dust of Jacob and a number [the] fourth part of Israel let it die self my [the] death of upright [people] and let it be end my like his.
Nani akoki kotanga putulu ya Jakobi to kotanga motango ya bakitani ya Isalaele? Tika ete nakufa kufa ya bato ya sembo, mpe tika ete suka na ngai ezala lokola ya bango! › »
11 And he said Balak to Balaam what? have you done to me to curse enemies my I took you and here! you have blessed actually.
Balaki alobaki na Balami: — Likambo nini osali ngai? Nabengisaki yo mpo ete olakela banguna na ngai mabe; kasi tala, opamboli bango koleka.
12 And he answered and he said ¿ not [that] which he will put Yahweh in mouth my it will I take care to speak.
Balami azongisaki: — Boni, naloba te maloba oyo Yawe atie na monoko na ngai?
13 And he said to him Balak (come there! *Q(K)*) please with me to a place another where you will see it from there only outskirt[s] its you will see and all of it not you will see and curse it for me from there.
Balaki alobaki na Balami: — Yaka elongo na ngai esika mosusu, epai okoki komona bango; okomona bango nyonso te, kasi kaka ndambo. Mpe wuta na esika yango, lakela bango mabe mpo na ngai.
14 And he took him [the] field of Zophim to [the] top of Pisgah and he built seven altars and he offered up a young bull and a ram on the altar.
Boye, Balaki amemaki Balami na elanga ya Tsofimi, na songe ya ngomba Pisiga, mpe atongaki kuna bitumbelo sambo mpe abonzaki bangombe ya mibali mpe bameme ya mibali wana na etumbelo moko na moko.
15 And he said to Balak take your stand thus with burnt offering your and I I will meet thus.
Balami alobaki na Balaki: — Telema awa, pembeni ya mbeka na yo, wana ngai nakopusana mwa mosika mpo na kokutana na ye.
16 And he met Yahweh Balaam and he put a word in mouth his and he said return to Balak and thus you will speak.
Yawe akutanaki na Balami, atiaki maloba na monoko na ye mpe alobaki: — Zonga epai ya Balaki mpe yebisa ye maloba oyo.
17 And he went to him and there he [was] standing with burnt offering his and [the] leaders of Moab [were] with him and he said to him Balak what? has he spoken Yahweh.
Bongo, Balami azongaki epai ya Balaki mpe akutaki ye atelemi pembeni ya mbeka na ye, elongo na bakambi nyonso ya Moabi. Balaki atunaki ye: — Yawe alobi nini?
18 And he lifted up oracle his and he said arise O Balak and hear give ear! to me [O] son his Zippor.
Bongo Balami akomaki koloba maloba oyo: « Balaki, telema mpe yoka! Mwana mobali ya Tsipori, yoka ngai malamu!
19 Not [is] a human God so he may lie and a son of humankind so he may change his mind ¿ he has he said and not will he act? and has he spoken? and not will he fulfill? it.
Nzambe azali moto te mpo ete akosa, azali mpe mwana ya moto te mpo ete akoka kobongola makanisi na Ye. Boni, akoki solo koloba mpe kosala eloko moko te? Akoki solo kopesa elaka mpe kokokisa yango te?
20 Here! [surely] blessing I have received and he has blessed and not I will turn back it.
Nazwaki nde mokumba ya kopambola. Asila kopambola, mpe ngai nakokoka kobongola te.
21 Not he has looked at disaster in Jacob and not he has seen trouble in Israel Yahweh God his [is] with him and a shout of a king [is] among him.
Amonaka mbeba moko te epai ya Jakobi, amonaka minyoko te kati na Isalaele. Yawe, Nzambe na bango, azali elongo na bango; koganga ya mokonzi ezalaka kati na bango.
22 God [is] bringing out them from Egypt like [the] horns of a wild ox [belong] to him.
Nzambe abimisaki bango na Ejipito; bazalaka makasi lokola mpakasa.
23 For not enchantment [is] in Jacob and not divination [is] in Israel about this time it will be said of Jacob and of Israel what! has he done God.
Elakeli mabe moko te ekoki kozwa Jakobi, mpe kindoki ezali na nguya te likolo ya Isalaele. Bakoloba sik’oyo mpo na Jakobi mpe Isalaele: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Nzambe asali! ›
24 There! a people like a lion it rises and like a lion it lifts itself up not it will lie down until it will devour prey and [the] blood of [those] slain it will drink.
Bato oyo batelemi lokola nkosi ya mwasi; epemaka te soki epasoli te mosuni na yango mpe emeli te makila ya nyama oyo ekangi. »
25 And he said Balak to Balaam neither at all not you will curse it nor at all not you will bless it.
Bongo Balaki alobaki na Balami: — Ezala soki okoki te kolakela bango mabe, kasi kopambola bango te.
26 And he answered Balaam and he said to Balak ¿ not did I speak to you saying all that he will speak Yahweh it I will do.
Balami azongiselaki Balaki: — Nayebisaki yo te ete nakosala kaka makambo oyo Yawe akoloba na ngai?
27 And he said Balak to Balaam come! please let me take you to a place another perhaps it will be pleasing in [the] eyes of God and you will curse it for me from there.
Balaki alobaki na Balami: — Yaka, tika ete namema yo esika mosusu! Tango mosusu Nzambe akosepela ete olakela bango mabe mpo na ngai wuta na esika yango.
28 And he took Balak Balaam [the] top of Peor which looks down over [the] face of the desolate place.
Balaki amemaki Balami na likolo ya ngomba Peori, esika oyo emonisaka esobe mobimba.
29 And he said Balaam to Balak build for me in this [place] seven altars and prepare for me in this [place] seven young bulls and seven rams.
Balami alobaki na Balaki: — Tongela ngai bitumbelo sambo mpe bongisela ngai bangombe ya mibali mpe bameme ya mibali sambo.
30 And he did Balak just as he had said Balaam and he offered up a young bull and a ram on the altar.
Balaki asalaki ndenge Balami alobaki, mpe abonzaki ngombe moko ya mobali mpe meme moko ya mobali na etumbelo moko na moko.
