Resansman 23

1 Alò, Balaam te di a Balak: “Bati sèt lotèl pou mwen isit la, e prepare sèt towo pou mwen isit la.”

And Balaam sayd vnto Balak, Builde me here seuen altars, and prepare me here seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes.

2 Balak te fè ojis sa ke Balaam te pale a. Balak avèk Balaam te ofri yon towo avèk yon belye sou chak lotèl.

And Balak did as Balaam sayd, and Balak and Balaam offred on euery altar a bullocke and a ramme.

3 Balaam te di a Balak: “Kanpe bò kote ofrann brile pa w la, e mwen va ale. Petèt SENYÈ a va vin rankontre m, e nenpòt sa ke Li montre mwen, mwen va di ou li.” Konsa, li te ale kote yon ti mòn ki pa t gen anyen sou li.

Then Balaam sayde vnto Balak, Stande by the burnt offring, and I will goe, if so be that the Lord will come and meete me: and whatsoeuer he sheweth me, I will tell thee: so he went forth alone.

4 Bondye te rankontre Balaam, e li te di Li: “Mwen te ranje sèt lotèl yo, e mwen te ofri yon towo avèk yon belye sou chak lotèl.”

And God met Balaam, and Balaam sayd vnto him, I haue prepared seuen altars, and haue offred vpon euery altar a bullocke and a ramme.

5 Konsa, SENYÈ a te mete yon pawòl nan bouch Balaam. Li te di: “Retounen kote Balak. Ou va pale konsa.”

And the Lord put an answere in Balaams mouth, and sayde, Go againe to Balak, and say on this wise.

6 Konsa, li te retounen kote li. E gade byen, Balak te kanpe bò kote ofrann brile li a; li menm avèk tout chèf Moab yo.

So when he returned vnto him, loe, hee stoode by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.

7 Balaam te pran diskou li, e te di: “Depi nan Aram, Balak te mennen m, wa Moab ki soti nan mòn Lès yo. ‘Vin modi Jacob pou mwen. Vin denonse Israël!’

Then he vttered his parable, and sayde, Balak the king of Moab hath brought mee from Aram out of the mountaines of the East, saying, Come, curse Iaakob for my sake: come, and detest Israel.

8 Kijan mwen kapab modi, lè Bondye pa t modi? Epi kijan mwen kapab denonse sila ke SENYÈ a pa t denonse?

How shall I curse, where God hath not cursed? or howe shall I detest, where the Lord hath not detested?

9 “Jan mwen konn wè li soti anwo nan pwent wòch yo, e mwen gade li depi sou kolin yo. Gade byen, yon pèp ki rete apa, ki p ap kab konte pami nasyon yo.

For from the top of the rocks I did see him, and from the hils I did beholde him: lo, the people shall dwell by themselues, and shall not be reckened among the nations.

10 Kilès ki kab konte pousyè a Jacob, oswa konte menm yon ka an Israël? Kite mwen mouri lanmò a jis yo, pou lafen pa mwen an tankou pa li.”

Who can tell the dust of Iaakob, and the nomber of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last ende be like his.

11 Konsa, Balak te di a Balaam: “Kisa ou te fè m konsa? Mwen te pran ou pou modi lènmi mwen yo, e gade byen, ou te vrèman beni yo!”

Then Balak saide vnto Balaam, What hast thou done vnto mee? I tooke thee to curse mine enemies, and beholde, thou hast blessed them altogether.

12 Li te reponn: “Èske mwen pa oblije fè atansyon pou pale sa ke SENYÈ a mete nan bouch mwen?”

And he answered, and said, Must I not take heede to speake that, which the Lord hath put in my mouth?

13 Alò Balak te di li: “Souple, vin avèk mwen nan yon lòt kote pou ou ka wè yo. Malgre w ap wè sèlman ti bout a dènye pwent lan, e ou p ap wè tout a yo. Modi yo pou mwen depi la.”

And Balak sayde vnto him, Come, I pray thee, with mee vnto another place, whence thou mayest see them, and thou shalt see but the vtmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: therefore curse them out of that place for my sake.

14 Konsa, li te pran li rive nan chan Tsophim nan, nan pwent Mòn Pigsa a. Li te bati sèt lotèl e li te ofri yon towo avèk yon belye sou chak lotèl.

And he brought him into Sede-sophim to the top of Pisgah, and built seuen altars, and offred a bullocke, and a ramme on euery altar.

15 Konsa, li te di a Balak: “Kanpe bò kote ofrann brile ou a, pandan mwen menm, mwen ap rankontre SENYÈ a soti lòtbò.”

After, he sayde vnto Balak, Stande here by thy burnt offring, and I wil meete the Lord yonder.

16 Alò, SENYÈ a te rankontre Balaam e Li te mete yon pawòl nan bouch li. Li te di li: “Retounen jwenn Balak, e konsa ou va pale.”

And the Lord mette Balaam, and put an answere in his mouth, and sayd, Goe againe vnto Balak, and say thus.

17 Li te vin kote li, e gade byen, li te kanpe bò kote ofrann brile pa li a, epi chèf Moab yo te avèk li. Konsa, Balak te di li: “Kisa SENYÈ a te pale a?”

And when he came to him, beholde, hee stoode by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him: so Balak sayde vnto him, What hath the Lord sayd?

18 Alò, li te pran diskou li. Li te di: “Leve ou menm, O Balak, pou tande! Ban m zòrèy ou, O fis a Tsippor!

And he vttered his parable, and sayde, Rise vp, Balak, and heare: hearken vnto me, thou sonne of Zippor.

19 Bondye se pa yon nonm ke li ye pou L ta bay manti, ni fis a yon nonm pou L ta repanti. Èske Li pa t pale, e èske Li p ap fè l vrè?

God is not as man, that he should lie, neither as the sonne of man that he shoulde repent: hath he sayde and shall he not do it? and hath he spoken, and shall he not accomplish it?

20 Gade byen, mwen te resevwa lòd pou beni. Lè se Li menm ki beni, alò, mwen p ap kab revoke sa.

Behold, I haue receiued commandement to blesse: for he hath blessed, and I cannot alter it.

21 Li pa t wè malè nan Jacob, ni Li pa t wè twoub nan Israël. SENYÈ a, Bondye li a avè l, epi gran vwa a yon wa pami yo.

Hee seeth none iniquitie in Iaakob, nor seeth no transgression in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the ioyfull shoute of a king is among them.

22 Bondye mennen yo sòti an Égypte. Li pou yo tankou kòn sou bèf mawon.

God brought them out of Egypt: their strength is as an vnicorne.

23 Paske, nanpwen wanga kont Jacob, ni pa gen divinasyon kont Israël. Nan tan etabli a, li va pale a Jacob, e a Israël de sa Bondye te fè a!

For there is no sorcerie in Iaakob, nor soothsaying in Israel: according to this time it shalbe sayde of Iaakob and of Israel, What hath God wrought?

24 Gade byen, yon pèp ki leve tankou yon manman lyon, tankou yon lyon li leve li menm. Ni li p ap kouche jiskaske li fin devore viktim nan, pou l bwè san a sila li touye a.”

Behold, the people shall rise vp as a lyon, and lift vp himselfe as a yong lyon: hee shall not lye downe, till he eate of the pray, and till he drinke the blood of the slayne.

25 Alò, Balak te pale a Balaam: “Pa modi yo ditou, ni pa beni yo ditou!”

Then Balak sayde vnto Balaam, Neither curse, nor blesse them at all.

26 Men Balaam te reponn a Balak: “Èske mwen pa t di ou, ‘Nenpòt sa ke SENYÈ a pale, se sa mwen oblije fè’?”

But Balaam answered, and saide vnto Balak, Tolde not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speaketh, that must I do?

27 Alò Balak te di a Balaam: “Souple, vini; mwen va mennen ou yon lòt kote. Petèt li va agreyab a Bondye pou ou modi yo depi kote sa a.”

Againe Balak sayd vnto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I wil bring thee vnto another place, if so be it wil please God, that thou mayest thence curse them for my sake.

28 Konsa, Balak te pran Balaam vè tèt mòn Peor ki domine tout dezè a.

So Balak brought Balaam vnto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Ieshmon.

29 Balaam te di a Balak, “Bati sèt lotèl pou mwen isit la, e prepare sèt towo ak sèt belye pou mwen isit la.”

Then Balaam sayde vnto Balak, Make me here seuen altars, and prepare me here seuen bullocks, and seuen rammes.

30 Balak te fè jan ke Balaam te di a, e li te ofri yon towo avèk yon belye sou chak lotèl.

And Balak did as Balaam had sayd, and offred a bullocke and a ram on euery altar.
