< Numbers 23 >

1 And Balaam saith unto Balak, 'Build for me in this [place] seven altars, and make ready for me in this [place] seven bullocks and seven rams.'
Hahoi, Balaam ni Balak koevah, hivah thuengnae khoungroe sari touh na sak pouh loe. Maitotan sari touh, tutan sari touh kai hanlah na rakueng pouh loe telah a ti.
2 And Balak doth as Balaam hath spoken, and Balak — Balaam also — offereth a bullock and a ram on the altar,
Balak ni Balaam dei e patetlah a sak. Balak hoi Balaam ni bawknae khoungroe tangkuem vah, maitotan buet touh hoi tutan buet touh a poe awh.
3 and Balaam saith to Balak, 'Station thyself by thy burnt-offering and I go on, it may be Jehovah doth come to meet me, and the thing which He sheweth me — I have declared to thee;' and he goeth [to] a high place.
Balaam ni Balak koevah, nang ni hmaisawi thuengnae teng vah, pou kangdout lah a, kai teh alouk lah yo ka cet eivai, BAWIPA ni kai pato hanlah a tho thai, hahoi na dei pouh e pueng kai ni nang koe na dei pouh han telah atipouh. Hahoi kacailum e hmuenrasang koe a cei.
4 And God cometh unto Balaam, and he saith unto Him, 'The seven altars I have arranged, and I offer a bullock and a ram on the altar;'
Cathut ni Balaam a kâhmo teh ahnimouh ni ama koe bawknae khoungroe sari touh ka sak toe. Bawknae khoungroe buet touh dawk maitotan buet touh, tutan buet touh rip ka poe toe telah a ti.
5 and Jehovah putteth a word in the mouth of Balaam, and saith, 'Turn back unto Balak, and thus thou dost speak.'
Hottelah BAWIPA ni Balaam koe pahni dawk lawk hah a ta pouh teh, ahni koe Balak koe ban nateh, hettelah patuen dei pouh telah a ti.
6 And he turneth back unto him, and lo, he is standing by his burnt-offering, he and all the princes of Moab.
Hahoi ahnimouh a ban teh, khenhaw, hmaisawinae a kung koe ama hoi Moab tami kalennaw teh pou a kangdue teh,
7 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'From Aram he doth lead me — Balak king of Moab; From mountains of the east: Come — curse for me Jacob, And come — be indignant [with] Israel.
ahni ni lawk hah a pâpho pouh teh, a ram lahoi Balak ni a ceikhai teh, Kanîtholae mon Moab siangpahrang ni tho haw, Jakop hah thoebo haw, tho haw, Isarel hah na pathoe pouh haw telah a ti.
8 What — do I pierce? — God hath not pierced! And what — am I indignant? — Jehovah hath not been indignant!
Bangtelamaw, Cathut ni thoebo hoeh e thoe louk ka bo han, bangtelamaw, Cathut ni pathoe hoeh e louk ka pathoe han.
9 For from the top of rocks I see it, And from heights I behold it; Lo a people! alone it doth tabernacle, And among nations doth not reckon itself.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungsongpui dawk ahnimouh teh ka hmu teh, monpui dawk hoi ahnimouh teh ka khet. Khenhaw! miphun louk lah doeh ao awh. Jentelnaw koe pareisin hanlah awm hoeh.
10 Who hath counted the dust of Jacob, And the number of the fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of upright ones, And let my last end be like his!'
Jakop vaiphu teh apinimaw a touk thai han. Isarel pung pali pung touh teh apinimaw a touk thai han. Tamikalan due e patetlah dout van boipawiteh, ka poutnae teh a poutnae lah thoseh, telah a ti.
11 And Balak saith unto Balaam, 'What hast thou done to me? to pierce mine enemies I have taken thee — and lo, thou hast certainly blessed;'
Balak ni Balaam koevah, na sak e teh bangtelae na maw. Ka tarannaw thoebo hanlah na hrawi teh, yawhawi dai na poe atipouh.
12 and he answereth and saith, 'That which Jehovah doth put in my mouth — it do I not take heed to speak?'
Ahni ni BAWIPA ni ka pahni dawk a ta e lawk ka dei mahoeh na maw telah atipouh.
13 And Balak saith unto him, 'Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, whence thou dost see it, only its extremity thou dost see, and all of it thou dost not see, and pierce it for me thence;'
Balak ni alouklah cet ei, haw hoi teh na hmu thai nahanlah a onae hmuen ram pueng be na hmu han, abuemlahoi teh be na hmawt mahoeh ei, hot hmuen koehoi ahnimouh teh thoe na bo pouh han telah a ti.
14 and he taketh him [to] the field of Zophim, unto the top of Pisgah, and buildeth seven altars, and offereth a bullock and a ram on the altar.
Hottelah, Zophimnaw onae Pisgah monsom dawk a luenkhai. Thuengnae khoungroe sari touh a sak teh, hote thuengnae khoungroe tangkuem dawk maitotan buet touh hoi tutan buet touh rip a poe.
15 And he saith unto Balak, 'Station thyself here by thy burnt-offering, and I — I meet [Him] there;'
Balak koevah, hawvah, BAWIPA ka kâhmo navah, hmaisawi thuengnae a kung koe pou ka kangdout loe telah atipouh.
16 and Jehovah cometh unto Balaam, and setteth a word in his mouth, and saith, 'Turn back unto Balak, and thus thou dost speak.'
BAWIPA ni Balaam a kâhmo teh a pahni dawk lawk a ta pouh. Balak koe ban nateh hettelah patuen dei pouh telah a ti.
17 And he cometh unto him, and lo, he is standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him, and Balak saith to him: 'What hath Jehovah spoken?'
Ahni koe a cei sin teh, khenhaw! hmaisawi thuengnae akung koevah, a kangdue teh, Moab tami kalennaw hai ahni koe ao. Balak ni BAWIPA ni bangtelamaw a dei telah a ti.
18 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Rise, Balak, and hear; Give ear unto me, son of Zippor!
Hahoi teh ahni ni lawk hah a pâpho teh, thaw haw, Balak ka lawk thai haw, Zippor capa ka lawk hah thai haw.
19 God [is] not a man — and lieth, And a son of man — and repenteth! Hath He said — and doth He not do [it]? And spoken — and doth He not confirm it?
Cathut teh laithoe ka dei e tami nahoeh. Pankângai e tami capa lahai tho hoeh. A dei e teh sak mahoeh na maw. A dei tangcoung e hah kuep sak mahoeh na maw.
20 Lo, to bless I have received: Yea, He blesseth, and I [can] not reverse it.
Khenhaw! yawhawi poe hanelah kâlawk ka hmu teh, a yaw ahawi sak toung dawkvah, kâthung thai mahoeh toe.
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, Nor hath He seen perverseness in Israel; Jehovah his God [is] with him, And a shout of a king [is] in him.
Jakop koe payonpakainae hmawt hoeh niteh, Isarel hawihoehnae hmawt hoeh. Jehovah a Cathut ni a okhai teh, siangpahrang hramnae lawk ahnimouh koe ao.
22 God is bringing them out from Egypt, As the swiftness of a Reem is to him;
Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai teh, sakraktan patetlah a thaonae a tawn.
23 For no enchantment [is] against Jacob, Nor divination against Israel, At the time it is said of Jacob and Israel, What hath God wrought!
Bangkongtetpawiteh, taân ni Jakop teh tâ thai hoeh, hmaui ni Isarel teh tâ thai hoeh. Jakop hoi Isarel koevah, Cathut hno sak e hah dei lah kaawm roeroe han.
24 Lo, the people as a lioness riseth, And as a lion he lifteth himself up, He lieth not down till he eateth prey, And blood of pierced ones doth drink.'
Khenhaw! taminaw teh sendekmanu patetlah a thaw teh, sendek patetlah a dawkcawk teh, a kei awh e moi a ca hoehroukrak teh, a kei awh e moi thi a nei hoehroukrak teh duem awm awh mahoeh, telah a ti.
25 And Balak saith unto Balaam, 'Neither pierce it at all, nor bless it at all;'
Balak ni Balaam koevah thoebo hanh leih. Yawhawi hai poe hanh leih, telah a ti.
26 and Balaam answereth and saith unto Balak, 'Have I not spoken unto thee, saying, All that Jehovah speaketh — it I do?'
Hatei Balaam ni a pathung, BAWIPA ni a dei e naw pueng teh ka sak roeroe hane doeh, telah ka dei nahoehmaw telah a ti.
27 And Balak saith unto Balaam, 'Come, I pray thee, I take thee unto another place; it may be it is right in the eyes of God — to pierce it for me from thence.'
Hahoi Balak ni Balaam koevah, tho haw, alouklah na ceikhai han, awi haw kangna teh Cathut ni thoe na bo sak hanelah ahawi ati ta panue maw, telah a ti.
28 And Balak taketh Balaam to the top of Peor, which is looking on the front of the wilderness,
Hottelah Balak ni Balaam teh kahrawng khetnae Peor mon som a luenkhai.
29 and Balaam saith unto Balak, 'Build for me in this [place] seven altars, and make ready for me in this [place] seven bullocks and seven rams;'
Balaam ni Balak koevah, hivah thuengnae khoungroe sari touh na rakueng pouh loe, telah atipouh.
30 and Balak doth as Balaam said, and he offereth a bullock and a ram on an altar.
Balak ni Balaam dei e patetlah a sak pouh teh thuengnae khoungroe tangkuem maitotan buet touh hoi tutan buet touh rip a poe.
