Numbers 24
1 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.
И видев Валаам, яко добро есть пред Господем благословляти Израиля, не иде по обычаю своему в сретение волхвованием, и возврати лице свое в пустыню.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
И возвед Валаам очи свои, узре Израиля ополчившася по племеном: и бысть Дух Божий на нем.
3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
И восприим притчу свою рече: глаголет Валаам, сын Веоров, глаголет человек истинно зряй,
4 He hath said, who heard the words of God, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
глаголет слушаяй словеса Крепкаго, иже видение Божие виде во сне: отверсты очи его:
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
коль добри доми твои, Иакове, и кущы твоя, Израилю:
6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
яко дубравы осеняющыя и яко садие при реках, и яко кущы, яже водрузи Господь, и яко кедри при водах:
7 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.
изыдет человек от семене его, и обладает языки многими: и возвысится паче Гога царство его, и возрастет царство его:
8 God brought him forth from Egypt; he hath 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.
Бог изведе его из Египта, якоже слава единорога ему: пояст языки враг своих и толщы их измождит, и стрелами своими устрелит врага:
9 He crouched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall rouse him? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
возлег почи яко лев и яко скимен: кто возбудит его? Благословящии тя благословени, и проклинающии тя прокляти.
10 And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse my enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
И разгневася Валак на Валаама, и плесну руками своими, и рече Валак к Валааму: кляти тя врага моего призвах, и се, благословил еси их в третие:
11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee to great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
ныне убо бежи на место свое: рекох, почту тя: и ныне лиши тя Господь славы.
12 And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not speak also to thy messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying,
И рече Валаам к Валаку: и послом твоим, ихже послал еси ко мне, не рекох ли, глаголя:
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of my own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
аще ми даст Валак храмину свою полну сребра и злата, не могу преступити слова Божия, еже сотворити е зло или добро от мене самаго: елика аще речет ми Бог, сия возглаголю?
14 And now, behold, I go to my people: come therefore, I will advise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
И ныне, се, иду до места своего: гряди, присоветую тебе, что сотворят людие сии людем твоим, в последняя дни.
15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
И восприим притчу свою рече: глаголет Валаам сын Веоров, глаголет человек истинно зряй,
16 He hath said, who heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
слышай словеса Божия, умея умение Вышняго и видение Божие видевый во сне: отверсты очи его:
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
покажу ему, и не ныне: ублажаю, и не приближается: возсияет звезда от Иакова, и востанет человек от Израиля и погубит князи Моавитския, и пленит вся сыны Сифовы:
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
и будет Едом наследие, и будет наследие Исав враг его, и Израиль сотвори крепость:
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
и востанет от Иакова, и погубит спасаемаго от града.
20 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 shall perish for ever.
И видев Амалика и восприим притчу свою, рече: начало языков Амалик, и семя их погибнет.
21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
И видев Кенеона и восприим притчу свою, рече: сильно селение твое: и аще положиши на камени гнездо твое,
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
и аще будет Веору гнездо коварства, Ассириане пленят тя.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
И видев Ога и восприим притчу свою, рече: горе, горе, кто жив будет, егда положит Бог сия?
24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
И изыдут из рук Китиейских, и озлобят Ассура, и озлобят Евреов, и сами вкупе погибнут.
25 And Balaam arose, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
И востав Валаам отиде, возвратився на место свое: и Валак отиде к себе.
