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.

Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars here for me and prepare 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 requested. Then Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on every 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.

Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stand at your burnt offering and I will go. Perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me. Whatever he shows me I will tell you.” So he went away to a hilltop with no trees.

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.

While he was on the hilltop, God met him, and Balaam said to him, “I have built seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on each one.”

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

Yahweh put a message in Balaam's mouth and said, “Return to Balak and speak to him.”

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

So Balaam returned to Balak, who was standing by his burnt offering, and all the leaders of Moab were with him.

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.

Then Balaam began to speak his prophecy and said, “Balak has brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the eastern mountains. 'Come, curse Jacob for me,' he said. 'Come, defy 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 those whom God has not cursed? How can I oppose those whom Yahweh does not oppose?

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 from the top of the rocks I see him; from the hills I look at him. See, there is a people who live alone and do not consider themselves as just an ordinary nation.

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 only one-fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of a righteous person, and let my life's end be like his!”

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!

Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but look, you have blessed them.”

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

Balaam answered and said, “Should I not be careful to say only what Yahweh 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,

So Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place where you can see them. You will only see the nearest of them, not all of them. There you will 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 he took Balaam into the field of Zophim, to the top of Mount Pisgah, and built seven more altars. He offered up 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.

Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet with Yahweh over there.”

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

So Yahweh met Balaam and put a message in his mouth. He said, “Return to Balak and give him my message.”

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?

Balaam returned to him, and look, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab were with him. Then Balak said to him, “What has Yahweh said?”

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

Balaam began his prophecy. He said, “Rise up, Balak, and hear. Listen to me, you 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 human being, that he should change his mind. Has he promised anything without doing it? Has he said he would do something without carrying it out?

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

Look, I have been commanded to bless. God has given a blessing, and I cannot reverse 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 has seen no hardship in Jacob or trouble in Israel. Yahweh their God is with them, and shouts for their king are 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 that of 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.

There is no sorcery that works against Jacob, and no fortune-telling harms Israel. Instead, it must be said about Jacob and Israel, 'Look what 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.

Look, the people rise like a lioness, as a lion emerges and attacks. He does not lie down until he eats his victim and drinks the blood of what he has killed.”

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

Then Balak said to Balaam, “Do not curse them or 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 answered and said to Balak, “Did I not tell you that I must say all that Yahweh tells me to say?”

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

So Balak replied to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God for you to curse them there for me.”

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

So Balak took Balaam to the top of Mount Peor, which looks down on the wilderness.

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.

Balaam said to Balak, “Build me seven altars here and prepare 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 said; he offered up a bull and a ram on each altar.
