Numbers 24
1 And Balaam seeth that [it is] good in the eyes of Jehovah to bless Israel, and he hath not gone as time by time to meet enchantments, and he setteth towards the wilderness his face;
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 and Balaam lifteth up his eyes, and seeth Israel tabernacling, by its tribes, and the Spirit of God is upon 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 and he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'An affirmation of Balaam son of Beor — And an affirmation of the man whose eyes are shut —
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 An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God — Who a vision of the Almighty seeth, Falling — and eyes uncovered:
Ty enta’ ondaty mahajanjiñe ty tsaran’Añahare, naho mahaisake ty aroñaro’ i El-Sadai, mibaboke fe am-pihaino mibolanake:
5 How good have been thy tents, O Jacob, Thy tabernacles, O Israel;
Fanjaka o kiboho’oo ry Iakòbe naho o kivoho’oo ry Israele.
6 As valleys they have been stretched out, As gardens by a river; As aloes Jehovah hath planted, As cedars by waters;
Mivelatse hoe vavatane, hoe kodobo añ’olon-tsaka, hoe vahoñe nambole’ Iehovà hoe mendoraveñe añ’olon-drano.
7 He maketh water flow from his buckets, And his seed [is] in many waters; And higher than Agag [is] his king, And exalted is his kingdom.
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 is bringing him out of Egypt; As the swiftness of a Reem is to him, He eateth up nations his adversaries, And their bones he breaketh, And [with] his arrows he smiteth,
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 hath bent, he hath lain down as a lion, And as a lioness: who doth raise him up? He who is blessing thee [is] blessed, And he who is cursing thee [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 And the anger of Balak burneth against Balaam, and he striketh his hands; and Balak saith unto Balaam, 'To pierce mine enemies I called thee, and lo, thou hast certainly blessed — 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 and now, flee for thyself unto thy place; I have said, I do greatly honour thee, and lo, Jehovah hath kept thee 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 And Balaam saith unto Balak, 'Did I not also unto thy messengers whom thou hast sent unto me, speak, saying,
Le hoe t’i Balame amy Balake, Tsy vinolako hao o ìra’o nampihitrife’o amakoo ty hoe,
13 If Balak doth give to me the fulness of his house of silver and gold, I am not able to pass over the command of Jehovah, to do good or evil of mine own heart — that which Jehovah speaketh — it I speak?
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 and, now, lo, I am going to my people; come, I counsel thee [concerning] that which this people doth to thy people, in the latter end of the days.'
Aa le himpoliako ondatikoo henaneo, fe adono hey hitoroako ty hanoe’ ondaty reroañe am’ondati’oo amo andro ampara’e añeo.
15 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'An affirmation of Balaam son of Beor — And an affirmation of the man whose eyes [are] shut —
Aa le nonjone’e ami’ty hoe i fandrazaña’ey: Ty lañona’ i Balame ana’ i Beore, ty taro’ ondaty am-pihaino nabeake.
16 An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God — And knowing knowledge of the Most High; A vision of the Almighty he seeth, Falling — and eyes uncovered:
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 it, but not now; I behold it, but not near; A star hath proceeded from Jacob, And a sceptre hath risen from Israel, And hath smitten corners of Moab, And hath destroyed all 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 And Edom hath been a possession, And Seir hath been a possession, [for] its enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;
Ho fanañañe t’i Edome, ho hanaña’ o rafelahi’eo t’i Seire, le hitoloñ’ an-kafatrarañe t’Israele.
19 And [one] doth rule out of Jacob, And hath destroyed a remnant from Ar.'
Hiboak’ am’ Iakòbe ty hifehe, handrotsake ty sehanga’ i Are.
20 And he seeth Amalek, and taketh up his simile, and saith: 'A beginning of the Goyim [is] Amalek; And his latter end — for ever he perisheth.'
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 And he seeth the Kenite, and taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Enduring [is] thy dwelling, And setting in a rock thy nest,
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 But the Kenite is for a burning; Till when doth Asshur keep thee captive?'
fe ho forototoeñe t’i Kàine; ampara’ mbia te ho tana’ i Asore an-drohy?
23 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Alas! who doth live when God doth this?
Le nonjone’e ty fetse’e nanao ty hoe: Hedey! Ia ty ho veloñe naho akipen’ Añahare?
24 And — ships [are] from the side of Chittim, And they have humbled Asshur, And they have humbled Eber, And it also for ever is perishing.'
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 And Balaam riseth, and goeth, and turneth back to his place, and Balak also hath gone on 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.
