Oekyuk 24

1 In pacl se inge, Balaam el etu tari lah LEUM GOD El lungse elan akinsewowoye mwet Israel, ke ma inge el tia enenu in sukok kasru ke susfa, oana el muta oru meet ah. El ngetla nu yen mwesis

And Balaam saw that it was good in the sight of Jehovah to bless Israel, and he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.

2 ac liye mwet Israel lah elos mutangan aktuktuk ke kais sie sruf lalos. Ngun lun God tuku ke ku nu facl,

And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel dwelling [in tents] according to his tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.

3 na el fahk kas in palu inge: “Kas inge ma sel Balaam wen natul Beor, Kas lun sie mwet su ku in liye arulana kalem,

And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith,

4 Su ku in lohng ma God El fahk uh. Mutuk ngetnget na ac oana ngan liye Sie aruruma sin God Kulana.

He saith, who heareth the words of God, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open:

5 Lohm nuknuk sin mwet Israel uh arulana kato,

How goodly are thy tents, Jacob, and thy tabernacles, Israel!

6 Oana tak na loeloes ke sak palm, Ku ima puspis ma oan sisken soko infacl, Oana sak aloes ma LEUM GOD El yukwiya, Ku sak cedar sisken kof uh.

Like valleys are they spread forth, like gardens by the river side, Like aloe-trees which Jehovah hath planted, like cedars beside the waters.

7 Ac fah arulana yohk af nu faclos Ac elos ac yukwiya fita sunalos ke fohk ma aksroksrokyeyuk. Tokosra lalos ac fah fulat lukel Agag, Ac tokosrai lal ac fah fahsrelik nu yen loessula.

Water shall flow out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in great waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.

8 God El usalosme liki acn Egypt; El mweun kaclos oana soko cow mukul lemnak. Elos kontonauk mwet lokoalok lalos, Itungya srelos, ac kotkoteya sukan pisr natulos.

God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo. He shall consume the nations his enemies, and break their bones, and with his arrows shall smite [them] in pieces.

9 Mutunfacl se inge oana soko lion kulana; Ke el motul, wangin sie mwet ac pulaik in oaksalak. Kutena mwet su akinsewowoye Israel ac fah akinsewowoyeyuk. Ac kutena mwet su selngawel Israel ac fah selngawiyuk.”

He stooped, he lay down like a lion, and like a lioness: who will stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.

10 Tokosra Balak el isani paol ke kasrkusrak ac fahk nu sel Balaam, “Nga tuh pangonkomme kom in selngawi mwet lokoalok luk, a pacl tolula kom akinsewowoyalos ac tiana selngawelos.

Then Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] these three times!

11 Tari, folokot nu yen sum an! Nga tuh wulela mu nga ac moli yohk nu sum, tuh pa LEUM GOD El kosrala kom in tia eis mwe moul nu sum uh.”

And now flee thou to thy place; I said I would very highly honour thee, and behold, Jehovah has kept thee back from honour.

12 Balaam el topuk, “Nga tuh fahkang nu sin mwet kom supwama ah mu

And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not also speak to thy messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying,

13 kom finne ase nufon silver ac gold inkul fulat sum an luk, nga ac tia ku in seakos ma sap lun LEUM GOD nu sik ac sifacna oru kutena ma. Nga ac fahk na ma LEUM GOD El sap ngan fahk mukena.”

If Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah to do good or bad out of my heart: what Jehovah shall say, that will I speak?

14 Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Inge nga ac folokla nu yurin mwet luk uh, tusruktu meet liki nga som, nga ac fahkot ma mwet Israel uh ac mau oru nu sin mwet lom ke pacl fahsru uh.”

And now behold, I go to my people: come, I will admonish thee what this people will do to thy people at the end of days.

15 Na el fahk kas in palu inge: “Kas inge ma sel Balaam wen natul Beor, Kas lun sie mwet su ku in liye arulana kalem,

And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor saith, and the man of opened eye saith,

16 Su ku in lohng ma God El fahk uh Ac eis etauk su tuku sin El su Fulatlana. Mutuk ngetnget na ac nga liye Sie aruruma sin God Kulana.

He saith, who heareth the words of God, who knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, Who seeth the vision of the Almighty, who falleth down, and who hath his eyes open:

17 Ke nga ngetla liye pacl fahsru, Nga liye mutunfacl Israel. Sie tokosra ac fah sikyak in facl sac, oana sie itu, Sie tokosra ku ac fah tuku liki facl Israel. El fah sringilya mwet kol lun acn Moab Ac kunausla mwet Seth nukewa.

I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh: There cometh a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and he shall cut in pieces the corners of Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult.

18 El fah kutangla mwet lokoalok lal in acn Edom. Ac eisla acn lalos uh tuh in ma lal. Ke pacl se inge, Israel ac nuna kutangla acn puspis saya.

And Edom shall be a possession, and Seir a possession, — they, his enemies; but Israel will do valiantly.

19 Mutunfacl Israel fah fotongolosi nu infohk uh Ac sukela mwet nukewa ma srakna moul.”

And one out of Jacob shall have dominion, and will destroy out of the city what remaineth.

20 Na Balaam el liye mwet Amalek, ac el fahk kas in palu inge: “Amalek pa mutunfacl se ma ku liki nukewa, Tusruktu saflaiyal el fah wanginla ma pahtpat.”

And he saw Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek is the first of the nations, but his latter end shall be for destruction.

21 In aruruma lal el liye pac mwet Ken, ac el fahk kas in palu inge: “Acn se ma kowos muta we oakwuki arulana ku, Oana sie ahng oan yen fulat fin fulu uh.

And he saw the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Firm is thy dwelling-place, and thy nest fixed in the rock;

22 Tusruktu kowos mwet Ken ac fah kunausyukla, Ke mwet Assyria ac fah uskowosla nu in sruoh.”

But the Kenite shall be consumed, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.

23 Na Balaam el fahk kas in palu inge: “Su mwet ma fahsreni in acn epang inge?

And he took up his parable, and said, Alas! Who shall live when God doeth this?

24 Mwet mweun ac fah kal tuku Cyprus me; Elos ac kutangla acn Assyria ac acn Eber Tusruktu, elos sifacna ac fah wanginla ma pahtpat.”

And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and afflict Asshur, and afflict Eber, and he also shall be for destruction.

25 Na Balaam el mukuiyak ac folokla nu yen sel, ac Balak el oayapa som nu yen sel.

And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
