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,
Afei, Balaam huu sɛ ɛsɔ Awurade ani sɛ ohyira Israel no, wankɔ abisa sɛnea ɔtaa yɛ no; mmom, ɔtoo nʼani hwɛɛ sare no so.
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,
Bere a Balaam huu sɛ Israelfo no abobɔ wɔn atenae sɛnea wɔn mmusuakuw te no, Onyankopɔn honhom baa ne so,
3 he seide, Balaam, the sone of Beor, seide, a man whois iye is stoppid seide,
na eyi ne nkɔmhyɛ a ɔmae: “Beor ba Balaam nkɔmhyɛ, nkɔmhyɛ a efi obi a nʼani hu ade yiye,
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,
nea ɔte Onyankopɔn nsɛm nkɔmhyɛ; nea onya anisoadehu a efi Otumfo no hɔ; na ɔda fam, a nʼani hu ade:
5 Jacob, and thi tentis, Israel!
“Yakob, mo ntamadan yɛ fɛ, Israel, mo atenae yɛ ahomeka!
6 as valeys ful of woodis, and moiste gardyns bisidis floodis, as tabernaclis whiche the Lord hath set, as cedris bisidis watris;
“Ɛtrɛtrɛw sɛ abon, sɛ nturo a ɛwɔ asubɔnten ho. Wɔte sɛ pɛprɛ a Awurade adua, te sɛ sida a esisi nsu ho.
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.
Nsu bɛsen afi wɔn ahina mu. Wɔn aba benya nsu ama aboro so. “Wɔn hene bɛyɛ kɛse asen Agag; wɔn ahenni bɛkorɔn.
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.
“Onyankopɔn de wɔn fii Misraim na ɛbae; wɔwɔ ahoɔden sɛ wuram nantwi. Wɔsɛe atirimɔdenfo aman na wobubu wɔn nnompe mu asinasin, wɔde wɔn bɛmma wowɔ wɔn.
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
Wobutuw da sɛ gyata; te sɛ gyatabere, hena na obetumi agyigye wɔn? “Wobehyira wɔn a wohyira wo, na wɔbɛdome wɔn a wɔdome wo.”
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.
Balak bo fuw Balaam. Ɔbɔɔ ne nsam guu ne so kae se, “Mefrɛɛ wo se bɛdome mʼatamfo, nanso woahyira wɔn mprɛnsa yi nyinaa.
11 Turne ayen to thi place; forsothe Y demede to onoure thee greetli, but the Lord priuyde thee fro onour disposid.
Fi ha kɔ wo nkyi ntɛm! Mekae se mɛkyɛ wo ade a ɛsom bo nanso, Awurade amma woannya akyɛde no.”
12 Balaam answeride to Balaach, Whethir Y seide not to thi messangeris, whiche thou sentist to me,
Balaam buaa no se, “So manka ankyerɛ abɔfo a wosomaa wɔn baa me nkyɛn no se,
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?
‘Sɛ Balak ma me dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛwɔ nʼahemfi hɔ nyinaa koraa a, minni tumi sɛ mɛyɛ biribi atia Awurade ahyɛde, sɛ ɛyɛ papa anaa bɔne.’ Mmom nea Awurade aka no nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ meka.
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.
Afei, meresan akɔ me nkurɔfo nkyɛn. Nanso ma menka nea Israelfo no bɛyɛ wo nkurɔfo no daakye no nkyerɛ wo.”
15 Therfor whanne a parable was takun, he seide eft, Balaam, the sone of Beor seide, a man whos iye is stoppid,
Eyi ne nkɔmhyɛ a Balaam de mae: “Beor ba Balaam nkɔmhyɛ, nkɔmhyɛ a efi ɔbarima a nʼani hu ade yiye,
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,
nea ɔte Onyankopɔn nsɛm no nkɔmhyɛ, nea ɔwɔ nimdeɛ a efi Ɔsorosoroni no hɔ, nea onya anisoadehu a efi Otumfo no hɔ, na ɔda fam, a nʼani hu ade no:
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,
“Mihu no, nanso ɛnyɛ mprempren; mehwɛ no, nanso ɔmmɛn. Nsoromma bepue afi Yakob mu; ahempema bepue afi Israel mu. Ɔbɛdwerɛw Moabfo ti, Moabfo nyinaa tikora.
18 the eritage of Seir schal bifalle to his enemyes; forsothe Israel schal do strongli, of Jacob schal be he that schal be lord,
Wɔbɛfa Edom, na Seir a ɔyɛ ne tamfo no, wobedi ne so nkonim, na Israel bɛkɔ so ayɛ den.
19 and schal leese the relikis of the citee.
Ɔhene bi bɛsɔre wɔ Yakob mu ɔno na ɔbɛsɛe kurow no mu nkaefo.”
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.
Afei, Balaam hwɛɛ Amalekfo na ɔhyɛɛ nkɔm: “Amalek na na ɔyɛ aman nyinaa abakan, nanso nʼawiei bɛyɛ ɔsɛe pasaa.”
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,
Afei, ohuu Kenifo, na ɔhyɛɛ ne nkɔm: “Mo atenae wɔ bammɔ, wɔanwen mo berebuw wɔ abotan mu;
22 and schalt be chosun of the generacioun of Cyn, hou longe schalt thou mow dwelle? forsothe Assur schal take thee.
Nanso wɔbɛsɛe mo Kenifo bere a Asur fa mo nnommum no.”
23 And whanne a parable was takun, he spak eft, Alas! who schal lyue, whanne the Lord schal make thes thingis?
Afei ɔhyɛɛ ne nkɔm: “Aa! Sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ sɛɛ a, hena na ɔbɛtena nkwa mu?
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.
Ahyɛn befi Kipro mpoano aba; wobedi Eber ne Asur so. Nanso wɔn nso, wɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa.”
25 And Balaam roos, and turnide ayen in to his place; and Balaach yede ayen bi the weye in which he cam.
Afei, Balaam sɔree na ɔsan kɔɔ ne kurom, na Balak nso kɔɔ ne kwan.
