Numbers 24
1 And whanne Balaam siy that it pleside the Lord that he schulde blesse Israel, he yede not as he `hadde go bifore, `that he schulde seke fals dyuynyng `bi chiteryng of briddis, but he dresside his face ayens the desert,
Lè Balaam te wè ke sa te fè SENYÈ a plezi pou beni Israël, li pa t ale tankou lòt fwa yo pou chache wanga, men li te fikse figi li vè dezè a.
2 and reiside iyen, and siy Israel dwellynge in tentis bi hise lynagis. And whanne the Spirit of God felde on hym, and whanne a parable was takun,
Konsa, Balaam te leve zye li anwo, li te wè Israël ki t ap fè kan, tribi pa tribi; epi Lespri Bondye te vini sou li.
3 he seide, Balaam, the sone of Beor, seide, a man whois iye is stoppid seide,
Li te reprann diskou li e te di: “Pòt pawòl a Balaam nan, fis a Beor a, Pòt pawòl a nonm ki gen zye louvri a;
4 the herere of Goddis wordis seide, which bihelde the reuelacioun of almyyti God, which fallith doun, and hise iyen ben openyd so, Hou faire ben thi tabernaclis,
Pòt pawòl a sila ki koute pawòl a Bondye yo, ki wè vizyon Toupwisan an, ki t ap tonbe, men zye li gen tan vin debouche.
5 Jacob, and thi tentis, Israel!
Ala tant nou yo bèl, O Jacob, ak abitasyon nou yo, O Israël!
6 as valeys ful of woodis, and moiste gardyns bisidis floodis, as tabernaclis whiche the Lord hath set, as cedris bisidis watris;
Tankou vale ki vin ouvri byen laj, tankou jaden ki bò kote rivyè yo, tankou plan lalwa ki plante pa SENYÈ a, tankou bwa sèd ki bò kote dlo yo.
7 watir schal flowe of his bokat, and his seed schal be in to many watris, `that is, puplis. The kyng of hym schal be takun a wei for Agag, and the rewme of hym schal be doon awai.
Dlo yo va koule nan bokit li yo, e jèm desandan li yo va bò kote anpil dlo. Wa li a va pi wo pase Agag, e wayòm li a va vin egzalte.
8 God ledde hym out of Egipt, whos strengthe is lijk an vnicorn; thei schulen deuoure hethene men, enemyes `of hym, that is, of Israel; and thei schulen breke the boonus of hem, and schulen perse with arowis.
Bondye mennen l sòti an Égypte. Li pou li tankou kòn a yon bèf mawon. Li va devore nasyon ki advèsè li yo. Li va kraze zo yo an mòso, Li va kraze yo avèk flèch li yo.
9 He restide and slepte as a lyoun, and as a lionesse, whom no man schal dore reise. He that blessith thee, schal be blessid; he that cursith, schal
Li koube ba, li kouche tankou yon lyon; tankou yon manma lyon. Se kilès ki kab tante deranje l? Beni se tout moun ki beni ou, e modi se tout moun ki modi ou.”
10 be arettid in to cursyng And Balaach was wrooth ayens Balaam, and seide, whanne the hondis weren wrungun to gidere, I clepide thee to curse myn enemyes, whiche ayenward thou hast blessid thries.
Konsa, kòlè Balak te brile kont Balaam. Li frape men l ansanm; epi li te di a Balaam: “Mwen te rele ou pou modi lènmi mwen yo, men gade, ou te pèsiste nan beni yo menm twa fwa sa yo!
11 Turne ayen to thi place; forsothe Y demede to onoure thee greetli, but the Lord priuyde thee fro onour disposid.
Pou sa, kouri ale nan plas ou koulye a. Mwen te di ke mwen ta onore ou anpil, men gade byen, SENYÈ a te anpeche ou resevwa onè a.”
12 Balaam answeride to Balaach, Whethir Y seide not to thi messangeris, whiche thou sentist to me,
Balaam te di a Balak: “Èske mwen pa t di mesaje ke ou te voye kote mwen yo:
13 Thouy Balaach schal yyue to me his hows ful of siluer and of gold, Y schal not mow passe the word of my Lord God, that Y brynge forth of myn herte ony thing, ethir of good ethir of yuel, but what euer thing the Lord schal seie, Y schal speke this?
ke menm si Balak te ban mwen kay li plen avèk ajan ak lò, ke m pa t kab fè anyen kontrè ak lòd SENYÈ a, kit bon kit mal nan pwòp volonte pa m. Sa ke SENYÈ a pale a, se sa mwen va pale?
14 Netheles Y schal go to my puple, and Y schal yyue counsel to thee, what thi puple schal do in the laste tyme to this puple.
Epi koulye a, veye byen, mwen ap prale kote pèp mwen an. Vini, mwen va bay ou konsèy sou sa ke pèp sa a va fè a pèp pa ou a nan jou k ap vini yo.”
15 Therfor whanne a parable was takun, he seide eft, Balaam, the sone of Beor seide, a man whos iye is stoppid,
Li te reprann diskou li e te di: “Pòt pawòl a Balaam nan, fis a Beor a, e pòt pawòl a nonm avèk zye louvri a di,
16 seide, the herere of Goddis wordis seide, which knowith the doctrine of the hiyeste, and seeth the reuelacioun of almiyti God, which fallith doun and hath opyn iyen,
Li di ki tande pawòl Bondye yo, ki gen konesans a Trè Wo a, ki wè vizyon a Toupwisan an, k ap tonbe, men ak zye li ki gen tan fin ouvri.
17 Y schal se hym, but not now; Y schal biholde hym, but not nyy; a sterre schal be borun of Jacob, and a yerde schal rise of Israel; and he schal smyte the duykis of Moab, and he schal waste alle the sones of Seth; and Ydumye schal be hys possessioun,
Mwen wè li, men pa koulye a. Mwen gade l, men pa toupre. Yon zetwal va sòti nan Jacob. Yon baton a wa va leve sòti an Israël. Li va kraze travèse fwon Moab la, e li va dechire tout fis a Seth yo.
18 the eritage of Seir schal bifalle to his enemyes; forsothe Israel schal do strongli, of Jacob schal be he that schal be lord,
Édom va yon posesyon pou li. Séir, lènmi li, osi, va yon posesyon pou li, pandan Israël ap aji avèk gwo kouraj.
19 and schal leese the relikis of the citee.
Youn ki soti nan Jacob va gen tout pouvwa, li va detwi retay lavil la.”
20 And whanne he hadde seyn Amalech, he took a parable, and seide, Amalech is the bigynning of hethene men, whos laste thingis schulen be lost.
Li te gade Amalec. Li te reprann diskou li e li te di: “Amalec se te premye nan nasyon yo, men lafen li pi lwen se destriksyon.”
21 Also `he siy Cyney, and whanne a parable was takun, he seide, Forsothe thi dwellyng place is strong, but if thou schalt sette thi nest in a stoon,
Epi li te gade Kenizyen nan, li te reprann diskou li e li te di: “Kote ou rete a, gen andirans. Nich kote ou chita nan falèz la.
22 and schalt be chosun of the generacioun of Cyn, hou longe schalt thou mow dwelle? forsothe Assur schal take thee.
Malgre, Cain va gate nèt, jis lè Asiryen yo pote nou ale an kaptif?”
23 And whanne a parable was takun, he spak eft, Alas! who schal lyue, whanne the Lord schal make thes thingis?
Epi li te vin reprann diskou li. Li te di: “Ay, kilès ki ka viv lè Bondye fè sa a?
24 Thei schulen come in grete schippis fro Ytalie, thei schulen ouercome Assiries, and thei schulen distrie Ebrews, and at the last also thei hem silf schulen perische.
Men gwo bato yo va sòti nan kòt Kittim. Yo va pini Asiryen yo, yo va aflije Éber. Men li menm tou va vin detwi.”
25 And Balaam roos, and turnide ayen in to his place; and Balaach yede ayen bi the weye in which he cam.
Konsa, Balaam te leve e te pati pou retounen nan plas li, e Balak osi te al fè wout li.
