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 pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
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.
And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding [in his tents] according to their tribes, and the spirit of God came upon him.
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, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
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:
He hath said, who heard the words of God, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:
5 Nani ka maikai o na halelole ou, e Iakoba! O kou mau halelewa hoi, e Iseraela!
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, [and] thy tabernacles, 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.
As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign-aloes which the LORD hath planted, [and] as cedar-trees beside the 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 shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed [shall be] in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
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 brought him forth from Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce [them] through with his arrows.
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 couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall rouse him? Blessed [is] he that blesseth thee, and cursed [is] he that curseth thee.
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.
And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse my enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] 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.
Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee to great honor; but lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honor.
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 to Balak, Did I not speak also to thy messengers whom thou sentest to me, 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?
If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do [either] good or bad of my own mind; [but] what the LORD saith, that will 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.
And now, behold, I go to my people: come [therefore], I will advertise thee what this people will do to thy people in the latter 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;
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
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:
He hath said, who heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the Most High, [who] saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:
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 shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
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.
And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19 Na Iakoba e puka mai auanei ka mea e alii ana, A e luku iho oia i ke koena o ke kulanakanhale.
Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
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 looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek [was] the first of the nations, but his latter end [shall be] that he shall perish for ever.
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 he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling-place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
22 Aka, e laweia'ku ka Keni, ahea la E lawe pio aku o Asuria ia oe?
Nevertheless, the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asher shall carry thee away 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 live when God doeth this!
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.
And ships [shall come] from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Ashur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
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.
And Balaam arose, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
