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 Bil'am saw that it was pleasing in the eyes of the Lord to bless Israel, 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 Bil'am lifted up his eyes, and when he saw Israel encamped according to their tribes, there came upon him the spirit of God.

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, Thus saith Bil'am the son of Beor, and thus saith the man whose eyes are open;

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

Thus saith he who heareth the sayings of God, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, falling down, with unvailed eyes:

5 Lohm nuknuk sin mwet Israel uh arulana kato,

How beautiful are thy tents, O Jacob, thy dwelling, 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 streams are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as aloe-trees, which the Lord hath planted, as cedar-trees 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 runneth out of His buckets, that his seed may be moistened by abundance of water; and exalted above Agag shall be his king, and raised on high shall be his kingdom.

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 to him like the heights of the reem; he will devour nations, his oppressors, and their bones will he break, 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 coucheth, he lieth down as a lion, and as a lioness: who shall make him rise up? They that bless thee be blessed, and they that curse thee be cursed.

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 the anger of Balak was kindled against Bil'am, and he struck his hands together: and Balak said unto Bil'am, To denounce my enemies did I call thee, and, behold, thou hast even 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 thought to honor thee greatly; but, lo, the Lord hath kept thee back from honor.

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

And Bil'am said unto Balak, Did I not already speak to thy messengers, whom thou sentest 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 could not transgress the order of the Lord, to do good or evil out of my own heart: what the Lord will speak, that must 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 am going unto my people: come, I will advise thee against what this people will 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, Thus saith Bil'am the son of Beor, and thus saith the man whose eyes are open;

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.

Thus saith he who heareth the sayings of God, and knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, falling down, with unvailed 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 steppeth forth a star out of Jacob, and there ariseth a sceptre out of Israel, and he pierceth the chiefs of Moab, and destroyeth all the children of Sheth.

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 conquest, and Seir shall be a conquest for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.

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

And there shall rule the one from Jacob, and he shall destroy whatever escapeth out of 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 he took up his parable, and said, The first of nations is Amalek; but his latter end shall be destruction for ever.

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 Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling-place, and placed on the rock is thy nest.

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

Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted: whither will Asshur 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 doth appoint this one?

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 will come from the coast of Kittim, and will afflict Asshur, and will afflict 'Eber; and he also will be given to destruction for ever.

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

And Bil'am rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
