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.

And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.

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.

And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came on him.

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.

And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said:

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.

He has said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

5 How! they are good tents your O Jacob dwelling places your O Israel.

How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, and your tabernacles, O Israel!

6 Like wadis [which] they are stretched out like gardens at a river like aloes [which] he has planted Yahweh like cedars at waters.

As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD has planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.

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.

He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.

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].

God brought him forth out of Egypt; he has as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

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.

He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesses you, and cursed is he that curses you.

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.

And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.

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.

Therefore now flee you to your place: I thought to promote you to great honor; but, see, the LORD has kept you back from honor.

12 And he said Balaam to Balak ¿ not also to messengers your whom you sent to me did I speak saying.

And Balaam said to Balak, Spoke I not also to your messengers which you sent to me, saying,

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.

If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of my own mind; but what the LORD says, that will I speak?

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.

And now, behold, I go to my people: come therefore, and I will advertise you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.

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.

And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said:

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.

He has said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

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.

I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.

18 And it will be Edom a possession and it will be a possession Seir enemies its and Israel [will be] doing strength.

And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.

19 And he will rule from Jacob and he will destroy [the] survivor[s] from a city.

Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remains of the city.

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.

And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.

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.

And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is your dwelling place, and you put your nest in a rock.

22 That except it will become consuming [the] Kenite[s] until when? Asshur will it take captive you.

Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry you away captive.

23 And he lifted up oracle his and he said woe! who? will he live from when ordains it God.

And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God does this!

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.

And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.

25 And he arose Balaam and he went and he returned to place his and also Balak he went to way his.

And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
