Numero 24
1 Idi nakita ni Balaam a naay-ayo ni Yaweh a mangbendision iti Israel, saanen a napan isuna a mangaramat iti pananggamod, a kas iti dadduma a tiempo. Kimmita ketdi isuna iti let-ang.
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 Inngatona ti panagkitana ket nakitana dagiti nagkampo nga Israelita tunggal maysa iti bukodda a tribu, ket immay kenkuana ti Espiritu ti Dios.
And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came on him.
3 Naawatna daytoy a padto ket kinunana, “Ni Balaam nga anak ni Beor ket agsao, ti tao a simumulagat.
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said:
4 Agsasao isuna ken dengdenggenna dagiti sasao ti Dios. Adda makitkitana a parmata manipud iti Mannakabalin-amin a pagrukbabanna kabayatan a simumulagat.
He has said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
5 Anian a nagpintas dagiti toldam, Jacob, ti lugar a pagnaedam, Israel!
How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, and your tabernacles, O Israel!
6 Kasla dagiti tantanap a nagwaras, kasla iti minuyongan iti igid ti karayan, kasla al-aloe nga immula ni Yahweh, kasla sedsedro iti igid ti kadandanuman.
As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD has planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
7 Agluppiasto ti danum kadagiti timbada ken nasibugan a nasayaat ti bukelda. Nangatngatonto ti arida ngem ni Agag, ken mapadayawanto ti pagarianda.
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 Iruar isuna ti Dios manipud Egipto. Addaan isuna iti pigsa a kasla atap a baka. Alun-onenna dagiti nasion a mangrangranget kenkuana. Tuktukolenna dagiti tultulangda. Panaenna ida.
God brought him forth out of Egypt; he has as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
9 Kumleb isuna a kasla leon, kasla iti kabaian a leon. Siasino ti makaitured a mangsinga kenkuana? Mabendisionan koma amin a mangbendision kenkuana; mailunod koma amin a mangilunod kenkuana.”
He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesses you, and cursed is he that curses you.
10 Narubroban ti unget ni Balak maibusor kenni Balaam, ket nangmesmes isuna iti ungetna. Kinuna ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Inayabanka tapno ilunodmo dagiti kabusorko, ngem adtoy, binendisionam ida iti namitlo.
And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.
11 Isu a panawannakon ita ket agawidkan. Kinunak gunggonaanka iti dakkel, ngem saan nga impalubos ni Yahweh a makaalaka iti aniaman a gunggona.”
Therefore now flee you to your place: I thought to promote you to great honor; but, see, the LORD has kept you back from honor.
12 Ket simmungbat ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Imbagak kadagiti mensahero nga imbaonmo kaniak,
And Balaam said to Balak, Spoke I not also to your messengers which you sent to me, saying,
13 'Uray no inted kaniak ni Balak ti palasiona a napno iti pirak ken balitok, saanko a mabalin nga un-unaan ti sao ni Yahweh ken aniaman a dakes wenno naimbag, wenno aniaman a kayatko nga aramiden. Ti laeng ibagak ket ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh nga ibagak.' Saan kadi nga imbagak daytoy kadakuada?
If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of my own mind; but what the LORD says, that will I speak?
14 Isu nga ita, adtoy, agsubliak kadagiti tattaok. Ngem ballaaganka nga umuna maipapan iti aramiden dagitoy a tattao kadagiti tattaom kadagiti masungad nga al-aldaw.”
And now, behold, I go to my people: come therefore, and I will advertise you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.
15 Rinugian ni Balaam daytoy a padto. Kinunana, “Agsasao ni Balaam nga anak ni Beor, ti tao a nakamulagat dagiti matana.
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said:
16 Daytoy ket padto ti maysa a tao a dumdumngeg kadagiti sasao manipud iti Dios, nga addaan pannakaammo manipud iti Kangangatoan, nga addaan kadagiti parmata manipud iti Mannakabalin-amin, nakapakleb a nakamulagat isuna iti sangoananna.
He has said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
17 Makitkitak isuna, ngem awan isuna ditoy ita. Makitkitak isuna, ngem awan isuna iti asideg. Tumaudto ti bituen manipud kenni Jacob, ken addanto setro a rumuar manipud iti Israel. Burakennanto dagiti mangidadaulo iti Moab ken dadaelennanto dagiti amin a kaputotan ni Set.
I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near: 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 Ket kukuanton ti Israel ti Edom, ken kukuadanto pay ti Seir, dagiti kabusor ti Israel a parmekento ti Israel babaen iti puersa.
And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19 Agtaudto kenni Jacob ti maysa nga ari a mangituray ken dadaelennanto dagiti amin a nabati a sibibiag iti siudadda.”
Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remains of the city.
20 Kalpasanna, kimmita ni Balaam iti Amalec ket rinugianna ti padtona. Kinunana, “Ti Amalec idi ti maysa a kabibilgan kadagiti nasion ngem ti kamaudiananna ket pannakadadael.”
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 perish for ever.
21 Kalpasanna, kimmita ni Balaam kadagiti Kineo, ket rinugianna ti padtona. Kinunana, “Natibker ti lugar a pagnanaedanyo, ken adda kadagiti dadakkel a batbato ti umokyo.
And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is your dwelling place, and you put your nest in a rock.
22 Nupay kasta, madadael ti Kineo, inton italawdakayo a kas balud dagiti Asirio.
Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry you away captive.
23 Ket rinugian ni Balaam ti maudi a padtona. Kinunana, “Asi kay pay! Siasino ti makalasat inton aramiden ti Dios daytoy?
And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God does this!
24 Umayto dagiti daong manipud iti baybay Kittim; rautendanto ti Asiria ken maparmekto ti Eber, ngem uray isuda ket aggibusdanto iti pannakadadael.”
And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
25 Kalpasanna, timmakder ni Balaam ket pimmanaw. Nagsubli isuna iti pagtaenganna, ken pimmanaw met ni Balak.
And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
