Numbers 24
1 Balaam now realized that Yahweh wanted to bless the Israeli people, [not curse them]. So he did not use magic/divination [like a shaman would do] to find out what Yahweh wanted, as he often did. Instead, he turned toward the desert.
Oo Balcaamna markuu arkay in Rabbigu ku farxay inuu reer binu Israa'iil barakeeyo, ma uu tegin sidii mararkii kale inuu sixir doondoono, laakiinse wuxuu wejigiisii u jeediyey xagga cidlada.
2 He saw the Israeli people camped there [in their tents], with each tribe gathered in its own group. Then the Spirit of God took control of him,
Markaasaa Balcaam indhaha kor u qaaday, oo wuxuu arkay reer binu Israa'iil oo qabiil qabiil u deggan, kolkaasaa waxaa isagii ku soo degay ruuxii Ilaah.
3 and enabled him to give this prophetic message to Balak: “I, Balaam, the son of Beor, am giving this prophecy; I am speaking as a man who sees [what will happen in the future] clearly speaks.
Markaasuu hadalkiisii watay oo wuxuu yidhi, Balcaam ina Becoor wuxuu leeyahay, Oo ninkii ishiisu daboolnaan jirtay wuxuu leeyahay,
4 I hear this message from God; I see a vision from him who is all-powerful. My eyes are open as I prostrate myself in front of him.
Wuxuu leeyahay kii erayadii Ilaah maqla Oo tusniintii Ilaaha Qaadirka ah arka, Oo dhaca isagoo indhihiisu furan yihiin,
5 You descendants of Jacob, your tents are very beautiful; they are truly lovely!
Teendhooyinkiinnu wanaagsanaa, Reer Yacquubow, Oo taambuugyadiinnu qurxoonaa, Reer binu Israa'iilow!
6 Your tents are spread out [in front of me like groves of palm trees in] valleys, like gardens alongside a river. They are like strong aloe trees/plants that Yahweh has planted, like [strong] cedar trees [that grow] along the rivers.
Waxay u fidsan yihiin sidii dooxooyin, Iyo sidii beero webiga barbarkiisa ku yaal, Iyo sidii geedo dacar ah oo Rabbigu beeray, Iyo sidii geedo kedar ah oo biyo ku ag yaal.
7 Your water buckets will always be full; the seeds [that you plant] will always have plenty of water [to make them grow]. The Israelis’ king will be greater than [King] Agag; the kingdom that he rules will be honored.
Baaldiyadooda waxaa ka daadan doona biyo, Oo farcankoodu wuxuu ku jiri doonaa biyo badan, Oo boqorkooduna wuu ka sarrayn doonaa Agag, Oo boqortooyadoodana waa la sarraysiin doonaa.
8 God brought the Israelis out of Egypt, [leading them along] with his great power [MTY] like a wild ox has. He devastates all the nations that oppose him; he breaks all those people’s bones into pieces, and shoots them with his arrows.
Ilaah baa iyaga Masar ka soo bixiyey, Oo iyagu waxay leeyihiin xoog gisiyeed oo kale, Oo waxay cuni doonaan quruumaha cadaawayaashooda ah, Oo lafahooda way jejebin doonaan, Oo waxay iyaga ka mudhbixin doonaan fallaadhahooda.
9 The Israelis are like lions that crouch and lie down, [ready to pounce on their prey] [SIM]. They are like lionesses [that are resting, but ready to attack]; no one [RHQ] would dare to arouse them! [God] will bless everyone who blesses you Israelis, and he will curse everyone who curses you.”
Iyagu hoos bay isu gaabiyeen, oo sida aar bay u jiifsadeen, Iyo sida gool libaax; haddaba bal yaa kicin doona? Duco ha ku dhacdo ku alla kii idiin duceeya, Oo habaarna ha ku dhaco ku alla kii idin habaara.
10 Then King Balak was extremely angry with Balaam. He showed with his hands that he was very angry, and he [shouted at Balaam], “I summoned you here to curse my enemies! Instead, you have (blessed/asked God to bless) them three times!
Markaasaa Baalaaq aad ugu cadhooday Balcaam, oo gacmihiisuu isku dhuftay. Oo Baalaaq wuxuu Balcaam ku yidhi, Waxaan kuugu yeedhay inaad cadaawayaashayda ii habaartid, oo bal eeg, saddexdan jeer baad u wada ducaysay.
11 So now, get out of here! Go back home! I said that I would pay you a lot of money [if you cursed them], but Yahweh has prevented you from getting any pay!”
Haddaba meeshaadii ku carar. Anigu waxaan damacsanaa inaan derejo weyn ku siiyo, laakiinse Rabbigu dib buu kaaga celiyey derejadii.
12 Balaam said to Balak, “[Do you not remember what] [RHQ] I told the messengers that you sent to me? I said,
Kolkaasaa Balcaam wuxuu Baalaaq ku yidhi, War kuwii farriin kaa waday miyaanan u sheegin oo aanan ku odhan,
13 ‘Even if Balak would give me a palace filled with silver and gold, I would not disobey Yahweh. I cannot do anything bad or anything that is good [that he does not approve of].’ And I told you that I could say only what Yahweh says to me.
Haddii Baalaaq i siiyo gurigiisa oo lacag iyo dahab ka buuxo, anigu kama tallaabsan karo erayga Rabbiga inaan maankayga ka sameeyo xumaan iyo samaan toona. Wixii Rabbigu ku hadlo, kaas uun baan ku hadli doonaa.
14 So yes, I will return to my people, but first, allow me to tell you what will happen to you Moab people in the future.”
Haddaba waxaan u tegayaa dadkaygii, oo bal kaalay aan kuu sheego waxay dadkanu dadkaaga ku samayn doonaan maalmaha ugu dambaysta.
15 So Balaam said this [to Balak]: “I, Balaam, son of Beor, am again giving a prophecy, speaking as a man who sees [what will happen in the future] clearly speaks.
Markaasuu hadalkiisii sii watay oo wuxuu yidhi, Balcaam ina Becoor wuxuu leeyahay, Oo ninkii ishiisu daboolnaan jirtay wuxuu leeyahay,
16 I hear a message from God; I know things that God, who lives in heaven, has [revealed to me]. I see a vision from him who is all-powerful. My eyes are open as I prostrate myself in front of him.
Wuxuu leeyahay kii erayadii Ilaah maqla, Oo yaqaan aqoonta Kan ugu sarreeya, Oo tusniintii Ilaaha Qaadirka ah arka, Oo dhaca, isagoo indhihiisu furan yihiin,
17 The things that I see [in the vision] are not [going to happen] now; I see things [that God will cause to happen] in the future. A man who is [a descendant of] Jacob will appear like a star [MET]; a king who holds a scepter will be one of the Israeli people. He will crush the heads of you people of Moab; he will wipe out the descendants of Seth.
Isagaan arkaa, haddase ma aha, Waan u jeedaa, mase dhowa, Reer Yacquub xiddig baa ka soo bixi doonta, Reer binu Israa'iil waxaa ka soo kici doonta ul boqortooyo, Oo waxay burburin doontaa rukummada Moo'aab, Oo waxay baabbi'in doontaa dadka Sheed oo dhan.
18 The Israelis will occupy Edom, and they will conquer their enemies [who live near] Seir [Mountain]. The Israeli people will be victorious/strong.
Oo dalka Edom wuxuu noqonayaa hantidooda, Oo Seciir oo isna cadowgooda ahaa hantidooduu noqonayaa. Oo reer binu Israa'iil way xoogaysan doonaan.
19 A ruler who is a descendant of Jacob will come; he will get rid of the people who still live in the city [where Balaam first met Balak].”
Oo mid reer Yacquub ka soo farcamay ayaa xukun yeelan doona, Oo wuxuu baabbi'in doonaa kuwa magaalada ka hadha.
20 Then Balaam looked out over where the Amalek people-group [lived], and he prophesied this: “The Amalek people-group were the greatest nation, but they will be wiped out.”
Markaasuu Camaaleq eegay, oo hadalkiisii sii watay oo yidhi, Camaaleq wuxuu ahaa kan quruumaha ugu horreeya, Laakiinse ugudambaysta wuu halligmi doonaa.
21 Then he looked out over the area where the Ken people-group [lived], and he prophesied this: “You [think that] the place where you live is secure/safe like a nest that is made in the cliffs [MET],
Oo haddana wuxuu eegay reer Qeyn, markaasuu hadalkiisii sii watay oo yidhi, Meeshaad deggan tihiin waa adag tahay, Oo buulkiinnana dhagaxaa laga dhisay.
22 but you will be wiped out when the army of Assyria conquers you.”
Habase yeeshee waa laydin baabbi'in doonaa, reer Qeynow, Jeer ay reer Ashuur maxaabiis ahaan idiin kaxaystaan.
23 Balaam ended his prophecies by saying, “Also, (who can (survive/escape) when God does all these things?/no one will be able to (survive/escape) when God does all these things!) [RHQ]
Markaasuu hadalkiisii sii watay oo wuxuu yidhi, Hoogay, ee bal yaa sii noolaan doona markii Ilaah waxan sameeyo?
24 Ships will come from Cyprus [Island], and [the men in those ships] will defeat [the armies of] Assyria and Eber. But God will get rid of those men, too.”
Laakiinse doonniyo waxay ka iman doonaan xeebta Kitiim, Oo waxay dhibi doonaan Ashuur, oo waxay dhibi doonaan Ceeber, Oo isna wuu halligmi doonaa.
25 Then Balaam and Balak returned to their homes.
Markaasaa Balcaam kacay oo ku noqday meeshiisii; Baalaaqna wuu iska tegey.
