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.'
Le hoe t’i Balame amy Balake, mandrafeta kitrely fito etoañe vaho hajario ho ahy ty añombelahy fito naho añondrilahy fito.
2 And Balak doth as Balaam hath spoken, and Balak — Balaam also — offereth a bullock and a ram on the altar,
Le nihenefa’ i Balake i sinaontsi’ i Balamey; le songa nisoroña’ i Balake naho i Balame amy kitrely rey ty añombelahy naho ty añondrilahy.
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.
Le hoe t’i Balame amy Balake, Mijohaña marine o isoroña’oo le hivìke iraho hera hifampikaoñe amako t’Iehovà, le hataliliko azo ze hatoro’e ahiko. Aa le nimb’ an-kaboa mb’eo re.
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;'
Le nifañaoñe amy Balame t’i Andrianañahare, vaho hoe t’i Balame ama’e. Fa hinajariko ty kitrely fito naho songa nisoroñako añombelahy naho añondrilahy amy kitreli’e rey.
5 and Jehovah putteth a word in the mouth of Balaam, and saith, 'Turn back unto Balak, and thus thou dost speak.'
Napo’ Iehovà am-palie’ i Balame ao ty tsara, ami’ty hoe, Mibaliha mb’ amy Balake mb’eo le inao ty ho saontsie’o.
6 And he turneth back unto him, and lo, he is standing by his burnt-offering, he and all the princes of Moab.
Le nibalike mb’ama’e mb’eo re nanjo aze nijohañe marine o nisoroña’eo, ie naho ze hene roandria’ i Moabe.
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.
Le nonjone’e ami’ ty hoe i fandrazaña’ey: Fa ninday ahy boak’ Arame t’i Balake mpanjaka’ i Moabe; hirik’ amo vohitse atiñanañ’eñeo. Mahavia, Ozoño ho ahiko t’Iakòbe, Mb’etoa onjiro t’Israele!
8 What — do I pierce? — God hath not pierced! And what — am I indignant? — Jehovah hath not been indignant!
Aa vaho akore ty hamàrako ty tsy nafàn’ Añahare? Vaho akore ty hañonjirako i tsy nonjira’ Iehovày?
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.
Ie talakeko boak’ ambone’ vato ey, sinambako hirik’ ankaboañey; Hehe t’indaty mizoizoy, tsy ho volilieñe amo kilakila ‘ndatio!
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!'
Ia ty mahaiake ty debo’ Iakòbe ndra hamolily ty fah’ efa’ Israele? Apoho iraho hikenkañe am-pihomaha’ o vantañeo, Ehe ampanahafo amy firompoa’ey ty ahiko.
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;'
Le hoe t’i Balak’ amy Balame, Ino ty nanoe’o amako? Nendeseko mb’ etoan-drehe hañozoñe o rafelahikoo te mone nitatae’o avao.
12 and he answereth and saith, 'That which Jehovah doth put in my mouth — it do I not take heed to speak?'
Le tinoi’e ami’ty hoe, Tsy hambenako hao ty hivolañe ze apo’ Iehovà am-bavako ao?
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;'
Le hoe t’i Balake tama’e, Antao mb’ an-toetse raike ey hahatalakesa’o aze; ty ila’e avao ro ho oni’o fa tsy ie iaby, le ozoño boak’ ao ho ahiko.
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.
Aa le nendese’e mb’an-tete’ i Tsofime mb’eo re ankaboa’ i Pisgà ey naho nañoreñe kitrely fito, vaho nisoroñe añombelahy naho añondrilahy amy kitreli’e rey.
15 And he saith unto Balak, 'Station thyself here by thy burnt-offering, and I — I meet [Him] there;'
Le hoe re amy Balake, Mijohaña etoa marivo o isoroña’oo, le homb’ aroan-draho, hifañaoñe.
16 and Jehovah cometh unto Balaam, and setteth a word in his mouth, and saith, 'Turn back unto Balak, and thus thou dost speak.'
Nifampikaoñe amy Balame t’Iehovà le nampipoke ty tsara am-palie’e naho nanao ty hoe: Mibaliha mb’amy Balake mb’eo vaho isaontsio izay.
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?'
Aa le nimb’ ama’e mb’eo vaho nizoe’e nijohañe amy nisoroña’ey rekets’ o roandria’ i Moabeo. Le hoe t’i Balak’ ama’e, Inoñe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà?
18 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Rise, Balak, and hear; Give ear unto me, son of Zippor!
Aa le nonjone’e ami’ty hoe i razan-tsaontsi’ey: Miongaha ry Balake, mijanjiña! Anokilaño ravembia ry ana’ i Tsipore.
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?
Tsy ondaty t’i Andrianañahare t’ie handañitse, naho tsy ana’ondaty t’ie haneñeñe. Aa vaho tsy hanoe’e i nitsarae’ey? tsy ho henefe’e hao i nitaroñe’ey?
20 Lo, to bless I have received: Yea, He blesseth, and I [can] not reverse it.
Ingo nanoloran-dily hitata iraho; aa kanao ie ro nitata tsy meteko afotetse.
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.
Tsy nahaoniña’e hakeo t’Iakòbe tsy nahaisaha’e tahiñe t’Israele. Ama’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’e, naho ama’e ao ty koim-panjaka.
22 God is bringing them out from Egypt, As the swiftness of a Reem is to him;
I Andrianañahare nampienga aze amy Mitsraimey, ro tsifan-drimo abo ama’e.
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!
Toe tsy atreatrem-boreke amy Iakòbe vaho tsy trean-tsikily amy’Israele, Ie henaneo ro tsaraeñe ty am’ Iakòbe naho am’Israele, ty hoe: Heheke ty nanoen’Añahare.
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.'
Hitroatse hoe liona vave’e ondatio, hiongake hoe liona lahi’e: Tsy handre am-para’ t’ie mihinan-tsindroke vaho minoñe ty lio’ i vinonoy.
25 And Balak saith unto Balaam, 'Neither pierce it at all, nor bless it at all;'
Le hoe t’i Balak’ amy Balame, Ko ozoñe‘o ka, naho ko itata’o.
26 and Balaam answereth and saith unto Balak, 'Have I not spoken unto thee, saying, All that Jehovah speaketh — it I do?'
Fe hoe ty navale’ i Balame i Balake, Tsy vinolako hao te ze tsarae’ Iehovà, le tsy mete tsy izay ty hanoeko?
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.'
Le hoe t’i Balak’ amy Balame, Antao, fa hendeseko mb’an-toetse raike ka irehe hera ho non’ Añahare ty hañozoñe iareo ho ahiko boake ey.
28 And Balak taketh Balaam to the top of Peor, which is looking on the front of the wilderness,
Le nendese’ i Balake mb’ an-dengo’ i Peore, ahatalakesañe mb’ am-patrambey eñe, t’i Balame.
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;'
Le hoe t’i Balame amy Balake, Añoreño kitrely fito ty etoy vaho añajario añombelahy fito naho añondrilahy fito.
30 and Balak doth as Balaam said, and he offereth a bullock and a ram on an altar.
Le nanoe’ i Balake i sinaontsi’ i Balamey vaho songa nisoroña’e an-kitrely ty añombelahy naho ty añondrilahy.
