Numbers 24
1 And he saw Balaam that it was good in [the] eyes of Yahweh to bless Israel and not he went as time on time to meet omens and he set to the wilderness face his.
巴蘭見耶和華喜歡賜福與以色列，就不像前兩次去求法術，卻面向曠野。
2 And he lifted up Balaam eyes his and he saw Israel dwelling to tribes its and it came on him [the] spirit of God.
巴蘭舉目，看見以色列人照着支派居住。上帝的靈就臨到他身上，
3 And he lifted up oracle his and he said [the] utterance of Balaam son his Beor and [the] utterance of the man opened of the eye.
他便題起詩歌說： 比珥的兒子巴蘭說， 眼目閉住的人說，
4 [the] utterance of [the] [one who] hears [the] words of God who vision of [the] Almighty he sees [who] falls down and [who] is uncovered of eyes.
得聽上帝的言語， 得見全能者的異象， 眼目睜開而仆倒的人說：
5 How! they are good tents your O Jacob dwelling places your O Israel.
雅各啊，你的帳棚何等華美！ 以色列啊，你的帳幕何其華麗！
6 Like wadis [which] they are stretched out like gardens at a river like aloes [which] he has planted Yahweh like cedars at waters.
如接連的山谷， 如河旁的園子， 如耶和華所栽的沉香樹， 如水邊的香柏木。
7 It will flow water from buckets its and offspring its [will be] in waters many and he may be high more than Agag king its so it may be exalted kingdom its.
水要從他的桶裏流出； 種子要撒在多水之處。 他的王必超過亞甲； 他的國必要振興。
8 God [is] bringing out it from Egypt like [the] horns of a wild ox [belong] to him it will consume nations opponents its and bones their it will break and arrows its it will wound [them].
上帝領他出埃及； 他似乎有野牛之力。 他要吞吃敵國， 折斷他們的骨頭， 用箭射透他們。
9 It crouched it lay down like a lion and like a lion who? will he rouse it [those who] bless you [be] blessed and [those who] curse you [be] cursed.
他蹲如公獅， 臥如母獅，誰敢惹他？ 凡給你祝福的，願他蒙福； 凡咒詛你的，願他受咒詛。
10 And it burned [the] anger of Balak on Balaam and he clapped hands his and he said Balak to Balaam to curse enemies my I summoned you and here! you have blessed actually this three times.
巴勒向巴蘭生氣，就拍起手來，對巴蘭說：「我召你來為我咒詛仇敵，不料，你這三次竟為他們祝福。
11 And therefore flee for yourself to place your I said surely I will honor you and here! he has withheld you Yahweh from honor.
如今你快回本地去吧！我想使你得大尊榮，耶和華卻阻止你不得尊榮。」
12 And he said Balaam to Balak ¿ not also to messengers your whom you sent to me did I speak saying.
巴蘭對巴勒說：「我豈不是對你所差遣到我那裏的使者說：
13 If he will give to me Balak [the] fullness of house his silver and gold not I will be able to transgress [the] mouth of Yahweh by doing a good thing or a bad thing from own heart my [that] which he will speak Yahweh it I will speak.
『巴勒就是將他滿屋的金銀給我，我也不得越過耶和華的命，憑自己的心意行好行歹。耶和華說甚麼，我就要說甚麼』？」
14 And now here I [am] about to go to people my come! I will advise you [that] which it will do the people this to people your at [the] end of the days.
「現在我要回本族去。你來，我告訴你這民日後要怎樣待你的民。」
15 And he lifted up oracle his and he said [the] utterance of Balaam son his Beor and [the] utterance of the man opened of the eye.
他就題起詩歌說： 比珥的兒子巴蘭說： 眼目閉住的人說，
16 [the] utterance of [the] [one who] hears [the] words of God and [the] [one who] knows [the] knowledge of [the] Most High vision of [the] Almighty he sees [who] falls down and [who] is uncovered of eyes.
得聽上帝的言語， 明白至高者的意旨， 看見全能者的異象， 眼目睜開而仆倒的人說：
17 I see him and not now I observe him and not near it will march forth a star from Jacob and it will arise a scepter from Israel and it will shatter [the] corners of Moab and it will destroy all [the] descendants of Sheth.
我看他卻不在現時； 我望他卻不在近日。 有星要出於雅各，有杖要興於以色列， 必打破摩押的四角，毀壞擾亂之子。
18 And it will be Edom a possession and it will be a possession Seir enemies its and Israel [will be] doing strength.
他必得以東為基業， 又得仇敵之地西珥為產業； 以色列必行事勇敢。
19 And he will rule from Jacob and he will destroy [the] survivor[s] from a city.
有一位出於雅各的，必掌大權； 他要除滅城中的餘民。
20 And he saw Amalek and he lifted up oracle his and he said [was the] first of [the] nations Amalek and end its [will be] to destruction.
巴蘭觀看亞瑪力，就題起詩歌說： 亞瑪力原為諸國之首， 但他終必沉淪。
21 And he saw the Kenite[s] and he lifted up oracle his and he said [is] enduring dwelling your and [is] set in the rock nest your.
巴蘭觀看基尼人，就題起詩歌說： 你的住處本是堅固； 你的窩巢做在巖穴中。
22 That except it will become consuming [the] Kenite[s] until when? Asshur will it take captive you.
然而基尼必至衰微， 直到亞述把你擄去。
23 And he lifted up oracle his and he said woe! who? will he live from when ordains it God.
巴蘭又題起詩歌說： 哀哉！上帝行這事，誰能得活？
24 And ships [will be] from [the] hand of Kittim and they will afflict Asshur and they will afflict Eber and also it [will be] to destruction.
必有人乘船從基提界而來， 苦害亞述，苦害希伯； 他也必至沉淪。
25 And he arose Balaam and he went and he returned to place his and also Balak he went to way his.
於是巴蘭起來，回他本地去；巴勒也回去了。
