1 Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Etoak itkosr loang an luk inse inge, ac use itkosr cow mukul ac itkosr sheep mukul.”

And Balaam sayd vnto Balak, Builde me here seuen altars, and prepare me here seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes.

2 Balak el oru oana ma fwack nu sel, na el ac Balaam kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang inge.

And Balak did as Balaam sayd, and Balak and Balaam offred on euery altar a bullocke and a ramme.

3 Na Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Tu ke kisa firir lom inge soaneyu ngan fahla ac liye lah LEUM GOD El ac osun nu sik ku tia. Nga ac fah fahk nu sum ma nukewa ma El ac akkalemye nu sik.” Ouinge el mukena utyak nu fin inging uh,

Then Balaam sayde vnto Balak, Stande by the burnt offring, and I will goe, if so be that the Lord will come and meete me: and whatsoeuer he sheweth me, I will tell thee: so he went forth alone.

4 ac God El osun nu sel. Balaam el fahk nu sel, “Nga etoak tari loang itkosr, ac kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang.”

And God met Balaam, and Balaam sayd vnto him, I haue prepared seuen altars, and haue offred vpon euery altar a bullocke and a ramme.

5 LEUM GOD El fahkang nu sel Balaam ma elan fahk, ac folokunulla nu yorol Balak.

And the Lord put an answere in Balaams mouth, and sayde, Go againe to Balak, and say on this wise.

6 Ouinge el folokla ac liye lah Balak el srakna tu sisken mwe kisa firir lal wi mwet kol nukewa lun Moab.

So when he returned vnto him, loe, hee stoode by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.

7 Na Balaam el fahkak kas in palu inge: “Balak, tokosra lun Moab, el usyume Liki acn Syria, liki eol kutulap. El fahk, ‘Fahsru, kaskas keik. Selngawiya mwet Israel.’

Then he vttered his parable, and sayde, Balak the king of Moab hath brought mee from Aram out of the mountaines of the East, saying, Come, curse Iaakob for my sake: come, and detest Israel.

8 Nga ac selngawi fuka elos su God El tia selngawi, Ku fahk kas in lusla LEUM GOD El fin tia fahk?

How shall I curse, where God hath not cursed? or howe shall I detest, where the Lord hath not detested?

9 Nga ku in tu fin eot fulat uh liyalos; Nga ku in tu fin inging uh intoeinulos. Sie mutunfacl su mukena muta pa elos; Elos etu lah akinsewowoyuk elos yohk liki kutena mutunfacl saya.

For from the top of the rocks I did see him, and from the hils I did beholde him: lo, the people shall dwell by themselues, and shall not be reckened among the nations.

10 Fwilin tulik nutin Israel uh pus oana kutkut uh, Arulana pusla, tia ku in oaoala. Lela len safla luk uh in oana len safla un mwet lun God; Ac lela nga in misa oana sie mwet suwoswos.”

Who can tell the dust of Iaakob, and the nomber of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last ende be like his.

11 Na Balak el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Mea se kom oru nu sik inge? Nga uskomme kom in tuh selngawi mwet lokoalok luk, a kom akinsewowoyalos mukena.”

Then Balak saide vnto Balaam, What hast thou done vnto mee? I tooke thee to curse mine enemies, and beholde, thou hast blessed them altogether.

12 El topuk, “Ma na LEUM GOD El sap nga in fahk pa nga ku in fahk uh.”

And he answered, and said, Must I not take heede to speake that, which the Lord hath put in my mouth?

13 Na Balak el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Fahsru wiyu nu ke sie pac acn ma kom ku in liye kutu pac sin mwet Israel uh. Na kom fah selngawelos we keik.”

And Balak sayde vnto him, Come, I pray thee, with mee vnto another place, whence thou mayest see them, and thou shalt see but the vtmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: therefore curse them out of that place for my sake.

14 El usal nu ke ima lun Zophim fin mangon Eol Pisgah. El etoak pac loang itkosr we ac kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang uh.

And he brought him into Sede-sophim to the top of Pisgah, and built seuen altars, and offred a bullocke, and a ramme on euery altar.

15 Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Tu sisken mwe kisa firir lom inge soaneyu, ac nga ac som osun nu sin God inse ingo.”

After, he sayde vnto Balak, Stande here by thy burnt offring, and I wil meete the Lord yonder.

16 LEUM GOD El sonol Balaam, ac fahkang nu sel ma elan fahk, na el folokunulla nu yorol Balak.

And the Lord mette Balaam, and put an answere in his mouth, and sayd, Goe againe vnto Balak, and say thus.

17 Ouinge el folokla ac liye lah Balak el srakna tu sisken mwe kisa firir lal uh, wi mwet kol lun Moab. Balak el siyuk lah mea LEUM GOD El fahk,

And when he came to him, beholde, hee stoode by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him: so Balak sayde vnto him, What hath the Lord sayd?

18 ac Balaam el fahkak kas in palu inge: “Balak, wen natul Zippor, fahsru Ac porongo ma nga ac fahk uh.

And he vttered his parable, and sayde, Rise vp, Balak, and heare: hearken vnto me, thou sonne of Zippor.

19 God El tia oana mwet uh in kaskas kikiap, Tia mwet se pa El in ikil nunak lal, Kutena ma El wulela kac El ac orala na; El kaskas, ac ma El fahk uh orekla.

God is not as man, that he should lie, neither as the sonne of man that he shoulde repent: hath he sayde and shall he not do it? and hath he spoken, and shall he not accomplish it?

20 Fwackme nu sik mu nga in akinsewowoye, Ac God El fin akinsewowoye, nga tia ku in folokunla.

Behold, I haue receiued commandement to blesse: for he hath blessed, and I cannot alter it.

21 Nga akilen mu wangin ma ac akkolukye ku aklokoalokye Moul lun mwet Israel ke pacl fahsru. LEUM GOD lalos El welulos; Elos fahkak kalem lah El pa tokosra lalos.

Hee seeth none iniquitie in Iaakob, nor seeth no transgression in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the ioyfull shoute of a king is among them.

22 God El usalosme liki acn Egypt; El mweun kaclos oana soko cow mukul lemnak.

God brought them out of Egypt: their strength is as an vnicorne.

23 Wangin susfa ac wangin inutnut Ku in orek lain mutunfacl Israel. Inge mwet uh ac fahk ke Israel, ‘Liyewin ma God El oru!’

For there is no sorcerie in Iaakob, nor soothsaying in Israel: according to this time it shalbe sayde of Iaakob and of Israel, What hath God wrought?

24 Mutunfacl Israel el oana soko lion na fokoko; El tia mongla nwe ke el eiya, kangla, Ac numla srah ke ma el uniya uh.”

Behold, the people shall rise vp as a lyon, and lift vp himselfe as a yong lyon: hee shall not lye downe, till he eate of the pray, and till he drinke the blood of the slayne.

25 Na Balak el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Kom finne srunga selngawi mwet Israel, tuh nimet kom akinsewowoyalos!”

Then Balak sayde vnto Balaam, Neither curse, nor blesse them at all.

26 Balaam el topuk, “Ya nga tuh tia fahkot nu sum lah ma na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik pa nga ac oru uh?”

But Balaam answered, and saide vnto Balak, Tolde not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speaketh, that must I do?

27 Tokosra Balak el fahk, “Fahsru wiyu, ac nga ac fah uskomla nu ke sie pacna acn. Sahp God El ac lela kom in selngawelos liki acn we nu sik.”

Againe Balak sayd vnto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I wil bring thee vnto another place, if so be it wil please God, that thou mayest thence curse them for my sake.

28 Ouinge el usalak Balaam nu fin mangon Eol Peor, su el ku in ngeta we lac nu fin acn mwesis.

So Balak brought Balaam vnto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Ieshmon.

29 Balaam el fahk nu sel, “Etoak itkosr loang an nu sik inge, ac use itkosr cow mukul ac itkosr sheep mukul nu yuruk.”

Then Balaam sayde vnto Balak, Make me here seuen altars, and prepare me here seuen bullocks, and seuen rammes.

30 Balak el oru oana ke fwack nu sel, ac el kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang.

And Balak did as Balaam had sayd, and offred a bullocke and a ram on euery altar.
