Na Helu 24
1 A IKE iho la o Balaama, ua lealea o Iehova i ka hoomaikai aku i ka Iseraela, aole ia i hele hou aku e like mamua e imi i na kilokilo ana; aka, haliu ae la ia i kona maka ma ka waonahele.
And when Balaam saw that it was good in the eyes of Yahweh to bless Israel, he went not as at other times to invoke enchantments, —but set towards the desert, his face.
2 Alawa ae la na maka o Balaama iluna, ike ae la i ka Iseraela e hoomoana ana ma ko lakou mau ohana; a kau mai la ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna ona.
So Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel, dwelling, according to his tribes, —then came upon him the Spirit of God;
3 Hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, O ka wanana a Balaama a ke keiki a Beora, O ka wanana a ke kanaka i hookaakaaia kona mau maka:
and he took up his parable, and said, —The oracle of Balaam, son of Beor, Yea the oracle of the man, of opened eye;
4 Ka wanana a ka mea i lohe i na olelo a ke Akua, A ka mea i ike i ka Mea mana ma ka hihio; E moe ana ilalo, a e kaakaa ana kona mau maka:
The oracle of one hearing sayings of GOD, Who the sight of the Almighty, receiveth in vision, Who falleth down but hath unveiled eyes: —
5 Nani ka maikai o na halelole ou, e Iakoba! O kou mau halelewa hoi, e Iseraela!
How pleasing are thy tents, O Jacob, —Thy habitations, O Israel:
6 E like me na awawa ko lakou palahalaha ana, E like hoi me na mahinaai ma kapa muliwai, Me na laau aloe hoi a Iehova i kanu ai, A me na laau kedera ma kapa o na wai.
Like ravines extended, Like gardens by a river, —Like aloe-trees Yahweh hath planted, Like cedars by waters:
7 E kahe ana ka wai mailoko ae o kona mau bakeke, A ma na wai he nui kona hua kanu; E kiekie ae hoi kona alii maluna o Agaga, A e hookiekieia'e kona aupuni.
He poureth forth water from his buckets, And, his seed, is among many waters, —And taller than Agag is his King, And exalted is his kingdom.
8 Na ke Akua ia i kai mai nei, mai Aigupita mai; Ia ia hoi ka ikaika me he reema la; E ai iho oia i na lahuikanaka i kona poe enemi, A e uhai ia i ko lakou mau iwi, E houia hoi lakou i kana mau pua.
GOD having brought him forth out of Egypt, The very horns of the buffalo, are his, —He eateth up nations that assail him And the bones of them, he breaketh And the loins of him, he crusheth:
9 Ua kukuli iho ia, ua moe iho me he lionakane la, A me ka lionawahine; nawai la ia e hoala'e? E pomaikai ka mea hoomaikai ia oe, A e poino ka mea hoino aku ia oe.
He hath knelt—hath lain down, Like a strong lion, yea like a lioness, Who shall rouse him up? Such as bless thee are each one blessed, But, such, as curse thee, are each one cursed.
10 Ua hoaia ka inaina o Balaka ia Balaama, a pai pu na lima ona: i mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Ua kii aku no wau ia oe no ka hoino aku i kuu poe enemi; aia hoi, eia ke kolu o kou hoomaikai wale ana aku.
Then kindled the anger of Balak against Balaam, and he smote together his hands, —and Balak said unto Balaam—To revile my foes, I called thee, And lo! thou hast kept on blessing, these three times.
11 Nolaila, e holo aku oe i kou wahi: i manao iho la au e hoohanohano loa aku ia oe; aka hoi, o Iehova ka i keakea mai ia oe i loaa ole ai ka hanohano.
Now, therefore, flee thou unto thy place, —I said, I will, highly honour, thee; but lo! Yahweh hath kept thee back from honour.
12 Olelo mai la o Balaama ia Balaka, Aole anei au i olelo aku i ka poe elele au i hoouna at io'u la, i ka i ana aku,
And Balaam said unto Balak, —Was it not so that even unto thy messengers whom thou didst send unto me, I spake saying-
13 Ina e haawi mai o Balaka i ko kala a me ke gula a piha kona hale, ina aole e hiki ia'u ke hoohala i ka olelo a Iehova, e hana i ka maikai, aole hoi i ka hewa ma kuu manao iho: o ka Iehova e olelo mai ai, oia ka'u e hai aku ai?
Though Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, yet could I not go beyond the bidding of Yahweh, to, do good or ill, out of my own heart, —what Yahweh shall speak, that, must I speak?
14 Ano hoi, ke hoi aku nei au i ko'u poe kanaka: ea, e hai e aku no au ia oe i ka mea a keia poe kanaka e hana mai ai i kou poe kanaka i na la mahope.
Now, therefore, behold me! going to my own people, —Come now! let me advise thee, what this people shall do unto thy people in the after-part of the days.
15 Hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, O ka wanana a Balaama ke keiki a Beora, Ka wanana a ke kanaka i hookaakaaia'e kona maka;
So he took up his parable and said, —The oracle of Balaam, son of Beor, Yea the oracle of the man, of opened eye;
16 Ka wanana a ka mea i lohe i ka olelo a ke Akua, A ka mea ike i ka mea ikea o ka Mea kiekie, A ka mea nana i ka mea ikea o ka Mea mana loa, E moe iho ana, a e kaakaa ana kona mau maka:
The oracle of one hearing sayings of GOD, And knowing the knowledge of the Most High, —Who the sight of the Almighty, receiveth in vision, Who falleth down but hath unveiled eyes: —
17 E ike auanei au ia ia, aole hoi ano, E nana auanei au ia ia, aole hoi e kokoke: E puka mai auanei he Hoku mai o Iakoba mai, E ku mai ana no hoi he Kookoo mai o Iseraela mai; A e luku aku no ia i na kihi o Moaba, A e pepehi iho ia i na keiki hoohaunaele a pau.
I see One, who is not now, I observe One, who is not nigh, —There hath marched forth a Star out of Jacob. And arisen a Sceptre out of Israel, That hath dishonoured the beard of Moab, Yea the crown of the head of all the tumultuous;
18 E lilo o Edoma i wahi E noho ai, A e lilo o Seira i wahi e noho ai no kona poe enemi: A e hana ikaika no o ka Iseraela.
So Edom hath become a possession, Yea a possession is Seir to his foes, —But, Israel, is doing valiantly;
19 Na Iakoba e puka mai auanei ka mea e alii ana, A e luku iho oia i ke koena o ke kulanakanhale.
Yea One wieldeth dominion out of Jacob, —Who hath destroyed the remnant out of the fortress.
20 Nana aku la hoi oia i ka Ameleka, hai mai la ia i kana olelonane, i mai la, O Ameleka, ke pookela o na lahuikanaka, Aka o kona hope, e make mau loa no oia.
And, when he saw Amalek, he took up, his parable, and said—The beginning of nations, —Amalek, But his latter end is even to perish.
21 Nana aku la hoi ia i ka Keni, hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i mai la, Ua paa kou wahi i noho ai, Ua kau aku oe i kou punana maluna o ka pohaku:
And when he saw the Kenite, he took up his parable, and said, —Enduring thy dwelling-place, Set thou then in the crag, thy nest;
22 Aka, e laweia'ku ka Keni, ahea la E lawe pio aku o Asuria ia oe?
Yet shall it be for destruction, O Kain, —How long shall Assyria hold thee captive?
23 Hai aku la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, Auwe! owai la uanei ke ola i ka wa e hana mai ai ke Akua i keia?
And he took up his parable, and said, —Alas who shall survive its fulfillment by GOD;
24 Mai kauwahi mai o Kitima mai, na moku, A e hoopilikia lakou i ko Asuria, A e hoopilikia hoi i ka Hebera, A e luku loa ia'ku oia.
When, ships, [come] from the coast of the isles, And humble Assyria, and humble the Hebrew, —And he too, is even to perish?
25 Ku ae la o Balaama, hele aku la ia, a hoi aku la i kona wahi; a hele aku la hoi o Balaka i kona aoao.
Then Balaam arose, and went and returned unto his place, —and, Balak also, went his way.
