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 when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at the other times, to meet with 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 he saw Israel dwelling tribe by tribe; 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: The saying of Balaam the son of Beor, and the saying of the man whose eye is opened;

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

The saying of him who heareth the words of God, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, fallen down, yet with opened eyes:

5 Lohm nuknuk sin mwet Israel uh arulana kato,

How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, thy dwellings, O 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.

As valleys stretched out, as gardens by the river-side; as aloes planted of the LORD, as 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 from his branches, and his seed shall be in many 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 who brought him forth out of Egypt is for him like the lofty horns of the wild-ox; he shall eat up the nations that are his adversaries, and shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them through with his arrows.

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 couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be every one that blesseth thee, and cursed be every one 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.

And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said unto 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.”

Therefore now flee thou to thy place; I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.'

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

And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Spoke I not also to thy messengers that thou didst send unto 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 would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; what the LORD speaketh, 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 unto my people; come, and I will announce to thee what this people shall do to thy people in 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: The saying of Balaam the son of Beor, and the saying of the man whose eye is opened;

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.

The saying of him who heareth the words of God, and knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, fallen down, yet with opened eyes:

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 see him, but not now; I behold him, but not nigh; there shall step forth a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of Seth.

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, Seir also, even his enemies, shall be a possession; while Israel doeth valiantly.

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

And out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.

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 looked on Amalek, and took up his parable, and said: Amalek was the first of the nations; but his end shall come to 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 looked on the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said: Though firm be thy dwelling-place, and though thy nest be set in the rock;

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

Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted; How long? 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 after God hath appointed him?

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.”

But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim, and they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall come to 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.
