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 was good in the eyes of Yahweh to bless Israel, he went not as at other times to invoke enchantments, —but set towards the desert, his face.

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

So Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel, dwelling, according to his tribes, —then 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, —The oracle of Balaam, son of Beor, Yea the oracle of the man, of opened eye;

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

The oracle of one hearing sayings of GOD, Who the sight of the Almighty, receiveth in vision, Who falleth down but hath unveiled eyes: —

5 Lohm nuknuk sin mwet Israel uh arulana kato,

How pleasing are thy tents, O Jacob, —Thy habitations, 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.

Like ravines extended, Like gardens by a river, —Like aloe-trees Yahweh hath planted, Like cedars by 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.

He poureth forth water from his buckets, And, his seed, is among many waters, —And taller than Agag is his King, And exalted is 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 having brought him forth out of Egypt, The very horns of the buffalo, are his, —He eateth up nations that assail him And the bones of them, he breaketh And the loins of him, he crusheth:

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 hath knelt—hath lain down, Like a strong lion, yea like a lioness, Who shall rouse him up? Such as bless thee are each one blessed, But, such, as curse thee, are each one 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.

Then kindled the anger of Balak against Balaam, and he smote together his hands, —and Balak said unto Balaam—To revile my foes, I called thee, And lo! thou hast kept on blessing, 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.”

Now, therefore, flee thou unto thy place, —I said, I will, highly honour, thee; but lo! Yahweh 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, —Was it not so that even unto thy messengers whom thou didst send unto me, I spake 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.”

Though Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, yet could I not go beyond the bidding of Yahweh, to, do good or ill, out of my own heart, —what Yahweh shall 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.”

Now, therefore, behold me! going to my own people, —Come now! let me advise thee, what this people shall do unto thy people in the after-part of the 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,

So he took up his parable and said, —The oracle of Balaam, son of Beor, Yea the oracle of the man, of opened eye;

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 oracle of one hearing sayings of GOD, And knowing the knowledge of the Most High, —Who the sight of the Almighty, receiveth in vision, Who falleth down but hath unveiled 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 One, who is not now, I observe One, who is not nigh, —There hath marched forth a Star out of Jacob. And arisen a Sceptre out of Israel, That hath dishonoured the beard of Moab, Yea the crown of the head of all the tumultuous;

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.

So Edom hath become a possession, Yea a possession is Seir to his foes, —But, Israel, is doing valiantly;

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

Yea One wieldeth dominion out of Jacob, —Who hath destroyed the remnant out of the fortress.

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, when he saw Amalek, he took up, his parable, and said—The beginning of nations, —Amalek, But his latter end is even to perish.

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 when he saw the Kenite, he took up his parable, and said, —Enduring thy dwelling-place, Set thou then in the crag, thy nest;

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

Yet shall it be for destruction, O Kain, —How long shall Assyria hold thee 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 survive its fulfillment by GOD;

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.”

When, ships, [come] from the coast of the isles, And humble Assyria, and humble the Hebrew, —And he too, is even to perish?

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

Then Balaam arose, and went and returned unto his place, —and, Balak also, went his way.
