Numbers 24
1 When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he didn’t go, as at the other times, to use divination, but he set his face towards the wilderness.
Aa kanao nioni’ i Balame te ninò’ Iehovà ty hitata Israele le tsy nisikilie’e nanahake i lili’ey fe nampitolihe’e mb’ am-patrambey eñe ty lahara’e.
2 Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
Aa naho niandra t’i Balame le nioni’e t’Israele nimoneñe an-kiboho’e ey nilahatse amo fifokoa’eo; le nivotrak’ ama’e ty arofon’ Andrianañahare;
3 He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;
vaho nonjone’e ami’ty hoe ty razan-drehake, Hoe ty fetse’ i Balame ana’ i Beore, naho ty lañona’ ondaty am-pihaino misokake.
4 he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
Ty enta’ ondaty mahajanjiñe ty tsaran’Añahare, naho mahaisake ty aroñaro’ i El-Sadai, mibaboke fe am-pihaino mibolanake:
5 How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your dwellings, Israel!
Fanjaka o kiboho’oo ry Iakòbe naho o kivoho’oo ry Israele.
6 As valleys they are spread out, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which the LORD has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.
Mivelatse hoe vavatane, hoe kodobo añ’olon-tsaka, hoe vahoñe nambole’ Iehovà hoe mendoraveñe añ’olon-drano.
7 Water shall flow from his buckets. His seed shall be in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag. His kingdom shall be exalted.
Hidoandoan-drano o sihoa’eo naho ho an-drano maro o tabiri’eo. Mitoabotse ambone’ i Agage ty mpanjaka’e vaho onjoneñe i fifehea’ey.
8 God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall consume the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows.
Manahake ty tsifan-drimo mitiotiotse t’i Andrianañahare nampiavotse aze amy Mitsraime. Hampibotseke ze tane malaiñe aze hampipozapozake o taola’eo, hampitrofahe’e amo ana-pale’eo.
9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. Everyone who curses you is cursed.”
Nitsakononòke re, nanao fandrean-diona naho hoe liona rene’e, ia ty hampitsekak’ aze? Hene soa tata ze mitat’azo Fonga ozoñeñe o mañozoñ’azoo.
10 Balak’s anger burnt against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.
Nisolebotse amy Balame amy zao ty habose’ i Balake, le nifampitrabohe’e o fità’eo, naho hoe t’i Balak’ amy Balame, Nikanjiako hañozoñe o rafelahikoo, vaho hehe te nitsitsihe’o tata in-telo.
11 Therefore, flee to your place, now! I thought to promote you to great honour; but, behold, the LORD has kept you back from honour.”
Mibioña arè mb’ an-toe’o añe, ie ho nonjoneko andikerañe eñe ty asi’o; te mone kinala’ Iehovà i ho ni-enge’oy.
12 Balaam said to Balak, “Didn’t I also tell your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,
Le hoe t’i Balame amy Balake, Tsy vinolako hao o ìra’o nampihitrife’o amakoo ty hoe,
13 ‘If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the LORD’s word, to do either good or bad from my own mind. I will say what the LORD says’?
Ndra te hatolo’ i Balak’ ahiko ty volafoty naho volamena mahaatseke i anjomba’ey, tsy ho likoareko ty falie’ Iehovà, hanoako ty soa ndra ty raty boak’ an-troko, fa ze nitsarae’ Iehovà ty ho taroñeko?
14 Now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.”
Aa le himpoliako ondatikoo henaneo, fe adono hey hitoroako ty hanoe’ ondaty reroañe am’ondati’oo amo andro ampara’e añeo.
15 He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;
Aa le nonjone’e ami’ty hoe i fandrazaña’ey: Ty lañona’ i Balame ana’ i Beore, ty taro’ ondaty am-pihaino nabeake.
16 he says, who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
Ty kora’ i mpijanjiñe o tsaran’ Añahareoy, vaho ama’e ty fahafohinañe i Andindimoneñey, Oni’e ty aroñaro’ i El-Sadai mibaboke fe am-pihaino mibeake:
17 I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A sceptre will rise out of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, and crush all the sons of Sheth.
Treako fa tsy henaneo; misamb’ aze iraho fe tsy mitotoke; hiboak’ am’ Iakòbe ty vasiañe; hionjoñe hirik’am’ Israele ty kobaiñe, ho demohe’e o olon-tane’ i Moabeo le fonga ho rotsahe’e o anam-pifandrakarakañeo.
18 Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemy, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.
Ho fanañañe t’i Edome, ho hanaña’ o rafelahi’eo t’i Seire, le hitoloñ’ an-kafatrarañe t’Israele.
19 Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.”
Hiboak’ am’ Iakòbe ty hifehe, handrotsake ty sehanga’ i Are.
20 He looked at Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, “Amalek was the first of the nations, but his latter end shall come to destruction.”
Ie nitalakese’e t’i Amaleke le nonjone’e ty fetse’e ami’ty hoe: Nilohà’ o kilakila taneo t’i Amaleke, Fe hamongorañe ty ho figadoña’e.
21 He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, “Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.
Nisambae’e amy zao o nte-Keineo, vaho nañonjona’e fetse ami’ ty hoe: Fatratse o fimoneña’oo naho mioreñe an-damilamy eo ty akiba’o;
22 Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive.”
fe ho forototoeñe t’i Kàine; ampara’ mbia te ho tana’ i Asore an-drohy?
23 He took up his parable, and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this?
Le nonjone’e ty fetse’e nanao ty hoe: Hedey! Ia ty ho veloñe naho akipen’ Añahare?
24 But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction.”
Hitotsak’ eo o lakambey hirik’ añ’olo’ i Ketio, ho silofe’ iareo t’i Asore naho hampiambane’e t’i Aibere, ampara’ t’ie mongotse nainai’e.
25 Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
Aa le niongake t’i Balame, nienga, naho nimpoly mb’an-toe’e añe; vaho nimb’ amy lia’e mb’eo ka t’i Balake.
