4 Mose 23

1 Balamu'a anage huno kini ne' Balakina asmi'ne, amare 7ni'a kresramnama vu ita tro hunentenka, 7ni'a bulimakao afu'ene 7ni'a ve' sipisipi afutamine uvrenka eno.

Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”

2 Higeno Balaki'a Balamu'ma asamiaza hu'ne. Higeke Balaki'ene Balamukea magoke magoke kresramna vu itarera mago bulimakaone mago ve sipisipine kresramna vutere hu'na'e.

So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

3 Hagi Balamu'a anante Balakina asamino, ofaka'ama kresramna vunante otinka mani'nege'na, mago'a kaziga nagrake umani'nanenkeno Ra Anumzamo'a kea nasamigahifi emeriama hu'na anankea tamasami'neno. Anage huteno anantetira Balamu'a zamatreno mago'za omane agonarega marerine.

“Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone,” Balaam said to Balak. “Perhaps the LORD will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you.” So Balaam went off to a barren height,

4 Hagi Anumzamo'a Balamuna tutagiha huntegeno, Balamu'a anage huno asami'ne, nagra 7ni'a kresramna vu itarera mago'mago kresramna vu itarera mago bulimakaone, mago ve sipisipine ahe'na kresramna vu'noe.

and God met with him. “I have set up seven altars,” Balaam said, “and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.”

5 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Balamuna nanekea asamino, Ete vunka Balakina amama kasamu kea ome asamio.

Then the LORD put a message in Balaam’s mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and give him this message.”

6 Higeno Balamu'a rukrahe huno vuno, ome keana Balaki'a miko Moapu kva vahetamine kresramnama vu itare oti'negeno vu'ne.

So he returned to Balak, who was standing there beside his burnt offering, with all the princes of Moab.

7 Anante Balamu'a amanage huno kasnampa kea huama huno zamasami'ne, Aramu zage hanati kaziga agonafi mani'nogeno Moapu kini ne' Balaki'a Israeli vahe'mokizmi kazusi ke eme hunezmantenka, Jekopu nagara huhaviza huzmantogu kea hige'na e'noe.

And Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the mountains of the east. ‘Come,’ he said, ‘put a curse on Jacob for me; come and denounce Israel!’

8 Hagi nagra inankna hu'na Anumzamo'ma kazusima huontoma huno hu'nenia vahera, kazusinkea hunentena, Ra Anumzamo'ma huhaviza huonto huno'ma hu'nenia vahera, inankna hu'na huhaviza huntegahue?

How can I curse what God has not cursed? How can I denounce what the LORD has not denounced?

9 Nagra have agonareti kefenkamu atre'na Israeli vahera zamage'noe. Zamagra mani ruotage hu'za Anumzamofo vahe mani'ne'za zamarimpa frune mani'naze.

For I see them from atop the rocky cliffs, and I watch them from the hills. Behold, a people dwelling apart, not reckoning themselves among the nations.

10 Israeli agehe'za hagera hu'za kahepankna hu'za rama'a vahe nemanisage'za, 4'afi refko hanage'za mago kevu manigahazanagi zamagrira hamprigara osugahaze. Hagi ama mopafima nasimu'ma eri'na mani'nenurera, nagra Anumzamofo agorga nemanina, zamagrikna hu'na narimpa frune frizankura nave'nesie.

Who can count the dust of Jacob or number even a fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous; let my end be like theirs!”

11 Anante Balaki'a amanage huno Balamuna antahige'ne. Kagra na'a hunenantane? Nagra ha' vahe'ni'a kazusi huzmantogu kavrena amafina e'noe. Hagi ko! Kagra mani soe'ma hu'zama manisagu asomu ke hunezmantane!

Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you here to curse my enemies, and behold, you have only blessed them!”

12 Hianagi Balamu'a kenona hunteno, Ra Anumzamo'ma huoma huno hunantesia ke'age nagra hugahue hu'ne.

But Balaam replied, “Should I not speak exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?”

13 Anante kini ne Balaki'a Balamuna anage huno asmi'ne, Nagrane egeta Pisga agonare umanineta rama'a Israeli vahera ozmagegahane. Hianagi osi'a nezmagenka anama zamagesanama'a kazusi kea huzmanto,

Then Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place where you can see them. You will only see the outskirts of their camp—not all of them. And from there, curse them for me.”

14 Huteno anantetira Balamuna avreno Zofim agupofi me'nea Piska agonare, 7ni'a kresramna vu ita ome tro huno, ve bulimakaone ve sipisipinena mago'mago kresramna vu itarera ofa hu'ne.

So Balak took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, where he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

15 Hagi Balamu'a Balakina asamino, ama kresramna vu itare mani'nege'na Ra Anumzamofona anturega vu'na ome tutagiha huntaneno.

Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there.”

16 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Balamuna tutagiha hunteno amanage huno nanekea asami'ne, Ete vunka Balakina ama ana naneke ome asamio.

And the LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and speak what I tell you.”

17 Higeno Balaki'a anama ofama hu'nere Moapu kva vahe'mo'zane otino mani'neno, na'ane huno Ra Anumzamo'a kasami'ne huno Balamuna antahige'ne?

So he returned to Balak, who was standing there by his burnt offering with the princes of Moab. “What did the LORD say?” Balak asked.

18 Ra Anumzamo'ma asami'nea kasnampa nanekea Balamu'a amanage huno asami'ne, Zipori nemofoga kama antahio,

Then Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Arise, O Balak, and listen; give ear to me, O son of Zippor.

19 Anumzamo'a tagrikna vahera omani'neankino, havigea osugahie. Agra kema hia kere amage anteno anaza nehia ne' mani'ne. Agrama kema nehuno'a, ana kemofo amage anteno eri so'e nehia ne' mani'ne.

God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?

20 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a ana vahera asomu ke huzamanto huno nasami'neanki'na, nagra ana kea eritrena ru kea osugahue.

I have indeed received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot change it.

21 Israeli nagapina koana mago havizana kena eriforera osugeno, mago zamazeri haviza hu'zana omanene. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a zamagrane mani'nege'za, zamagra hu'za Ra Anumzana tagri kinie hu'za nehaze.

He considers no disaster for Jacob; He sees no trouble for Israel. The LORD their God is with them, and the shout of the King is among them.

22 Ra Anumzamo Isipitira zamavareno atirami'neankino zamagripina afi' ve bulimakaomofo hanavegna hanave me'ne.

God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox.

23 Ha' vahe'mo'zama Israeli vahe avuatga hu'zo, sankuma hu'za zamaheku'ma hanazana, anazamo'a amne'za segahie. Hanige'za menina Israeli vahe'mokizmi nezmage'za maka veamo'za, Anumzamo'a zamahoke neheno ruzahu'za erifore nehianki, keho hu'za hugahaze.

For there is no spell against Jacob and no divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and Israel, ‘What great things God has done!’

24 Hagi keho, Israeli vahe'mo'za laionimo eaza hu'za ne-eza, laionimo ahenaku hia zagama otre ronato huvava huno aheno asgahu nevazino korama'a neankna hute'za, manigsa hugahaze.

Behold, the people rise like a lioness; they rouse themselves like a lion, not resting until they devour their prey and drink the blood of the slain.”

25 Hagi anante Balaki'a anage huno Balamuna asmi'ne, Kazusi kema huozamante'nunka asomu kea huozamanto.

Now Balak said to Balaam, “Then neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!”

26 Hianagi Balamu'a amanage huno Balakina asami'ne, Ra Anumzamo'ma huoma huno hunante'nia zana hugahue hu'na kasami'nofi onkasami'noe?

But Balaam replied, “Did I not tell you that whatever the LORD says, I must do?”

27 Hagi Balaki'a anage huno Balamunkura hu'ne, Antureti'ma Ra Anumzamo'a musema huno'ma kazusima huzamantenigu ege'na kavre'na vaneno.

“Please come,” said Balak, “I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God that you curse them for me from there.”

28 Hagi Balamuna avreno Peori agonare vigeno, ka'ma kokana ke'ne

And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the wasteland.

29 Balamu'a anage huno Balakina asmi'ne, amare 7ni'a kresramna vu ita tro hunentenka, 7ni'a bulimakao afu'ene 7ni'a ve sipisipi afutamine uvrenka eno.

Then Balaam said, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”

30 Higeno Balamu'ma asmiaza huno Balaki'a, Ana 7ni'a itarera mago mago ve bulimakaone, mago mago ve sipisipine aheno kresramna vutere hu'ne.

So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
