Ceturtā Mozus 23
1 Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: uztaisi man šeitan septiņus altārus un sataisi man še septiņus vēršus un septiņus aunus.
And Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars here for me, and prepare as many calves, and the same number of rams.”
2 Tad Balaks tā darīja, kā Bileāms bija sacījis, un Balaks un Bileāms upurēja vērsi un aunu uz ikviena altāra.
And when he had acted according to the words of Balaam, they placed a calf and a ram together on each altar.
3 Un Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: paliec pie sava dedzināmā upura stāvot; es iešu, vai Tas Kungs man nenāks pretī; un ko Viņš man rādīs, to es tev atsacīšu. Tad viņš gāja uz vienu kalnu.
And Balaam said to Balak: “Stand for a little while next to your holocaust, until I go, to see if perhaps the Lord will meet with me. And whatever he will command, I shall speak to you.”
4 Un Dievs sastapa Bileāmu, un tas uz Viņu sacīja: septiņus altārus es esmu uztaisījis un vērsi un aunu upurējis uz ikviena altāra.
And after he had quickly departed, God met with him. And Balaam, speaking to him, said: “I have set up seven altars, and I have placed a calf and a ram on each.”
5 Tad Tas Kungs lika Bileāma mutē to vārdu un sacīja: griezies atpakaļ pie Balaka un runā tā.
Then the Lord placed the word in his mouth, and he said: “Return to Balak, and you shall say this.”
6 Un kad viņš pie šī atgriezās, redzi, tad šis stāvēja pie sava dedzināmā upura ar visiem Moaba lielkungiem.
Returning, he found Balak standing next to his holocaust, with all the leaders of the Moabites.
7 Tad viņš sāka teikt savu sakāmo un sacīja: no Aramas Balaks, Moabiešu ķēniņš, mani atvedis, - no tiem kalniem pret rītiem: nāc, nolādi man Jēkabu, un nāc, nosodi Israēli.
And taking up his parable, he said: “Balak, king of the Moabites, has led me from Aram, from the mountains of the east. ‘Come forth,’ he said, ‘and curse Jacob. Hurry and condemn Israel.’
8 Kā lai es nolādu, ko Dievs nelād, un kā lai es nosodu, ko Tas Kungs nesoda?
How shall I curse him, whom God has not cursed? For what reason would I condemn him, whom the Lord does not condemn?
9 Jo no augstas klints es viņu redzu, un no tiem kalniem es to ieraugu; redzi, tauta, kas savrup dzīvo un nepieskaitās pagāniem!
I will look upon him from the tops of the stones, and I will consider him from the hills. This people shall dwell alone, and they shall not be counted among the nations.
10 Kas izskaitīs Jēkaba pīšļus vai Israēla skaita ceturto daļu? Lai mana dvēsele mirst šo taisno nāvē, un lai mans pastara gals ir tāds kā viņiem.
Who can number the dust that is Jacob, and who can know the number of the stock of Israel? May my soul die a just death, and may my end be like theirs.”
11 Tad Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: ko tu man esi darījis? Es tevi esmu aicinājis, manus ienaidniekus nolādēt, un redzi, tu tos svētīdams esi svētījis.
And Balak said to Balaam: “What is this that you are doing? I called for you, in order to curse my enemies, and to the contrary, you bless them.”
12 Tad viņš atbildēja un sacīja: vai man nav jādara, ko Tas Kungs mana mutē licis runāt?
He answered him, “How can I say anything other than what the Lord orders?”
13 Tad Balaks viņam sacīja: nāc jel man līdz uz citu vietu, no kurienes tu viņus vari redzēt; tu tikai vienu galu no viņiem esi redzējis un visus tu neesi redzējis; - un nolādi man tos no turienes.
Therefore, Balak said: “Come with me to another place, from where you may see a portion of Israel, though you cannot see them all. Curse them from there.”
14 Tā viņš to ņēma līdz uz Cofim tīrumu, uz Pizgas kalngalu, un uztaisīja septiņus altārus un upurēja vērsi un aunu uz ikviena altāra.
And when he had led him to a lofty place, on the top of mount Pisgah, Balaam built seven altars, and placing upon each a calf and a ram,
15 Un viņš sacīja uz Balaku: paliec šeitan pie sava dedzināmā upura, es tur iešu pretī.
he said to Balak, “Stand here next to your holocaust, while I continue on to meet him.”
16 Tad Tas Kungs sastapa Bileāmu un lika viņa mutē to vārdu un sacīja: griezies atpakaļ pie Balaka un runā tā.
And when the Lord had met him, and had put the word in his mouth, he said, “Return to Balak, and you shall say this to him.”
17 Kad nu viņš pie šī nāca, tad šis stāvēja pie sava dedzināmā upura un Moaba lielkungi pie viņa. Tad Balaks viņam sacīja: ko Tas Kungs ir runājis?
Returning, he found him standing next to his holocaust, and the leaders of the Moabites were with him. And Balak said to him, “What has the Lord spoken?”
18 Tad viņš sāka savu teikumu teikt un sacīja: celies, Balak un klausies! Griez savas ausis uz mani, tu Cipora dēls.
But, taking up his parable, he said: “Stand, Balak, and pay attention. Listen, you son of Zippor.
19 Dievs nav cilvēks, ka melotu, nedz cilvēka bērns, ka Viņam kas būtu žēl. Vai Viņš ko sacītu un nedarītu, vai Viņš ko runātu un neturētu?
God is not like a man, so that he would lie, nor is he like a son of man, so that he would be changed. Therefore, having spoken, will he not act? Has he ever spoken, and not fulfilled?
20 Redzi, man ir pavēlēts svētīt; Viņš ir svētījis, un es nedarīšu citādi.
I was led here to bless, and I have no strength to hinder the blessing.
21 Noziegumu Viņš neredz iekš Jēkaba un ļaunumu neatrod iekš Israēla; Tas Kungs, viņa Dievs, ir ar viņu, un ķēniņa prieki pie viņa.
There is no idol in Jacob; neither is there a false image to be seen in Israel. The Lord his God is with him, and the resound of royal victory is in him.
22 Dievs tos ir izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes; spēki viņam ir kā sūbram.
God has led him away from Egypt; his strength is like that of the rhinoceros.
23 Jo zīlēšana neder pret Jēkabu un buršana neder pret Israēli. Savā laikā Jēkabam top sacīts un Israēlim, ko Dievs dara.
There is no soothsaying in Jacob, nor any divination in Israel. In their times, it shall be told to Jacob and to Israel what God has wrought.
24 Redzi, tauta, kas ceļas kā lauvas māte un kas šaujās augšā kā lauva; neapgulstās, kamēr laupījums aprīts un dzer nokauto asinis.
Behold, the people will rise up like a lioness, and lie down like a lion. But they will not lie down until they devour the prey and drink the blood of the slain.”
25 Tad Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: tev nemaz nebūs viņu ne lādēt, ne svētīt.
And Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse him, nor bless him.”
26 Bet Bileāms atbildēja un sacīja uz Balaku: vai es uz tevi neesmu runājis sacīdams: visu, ko Tas Kungs runās, to es darīšu?
And he said, “Have I not told you that whatever God would command of me, I would do?”
27 Tad Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: nāc jel, es tev ņemšu līdz uz kādu citu vietu; varbūt Dievam patiks, ka tu man viņu no turienes nolādi.
And Balak said to him: “Come and I will lead you to another place. If perhaps it may please God, then you may curse them from there.”
28 Tad Balaks Bileāmu veda uz Peora kalngalu, kas pret tuksnesi stiepjas.
And when he had led him on to the top of mount Peor, which looks out toward the wilderness,
29 Un Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: uztaisi man šeit septiņus altārus un sataisi man septiņus vēršus un septiņus aunus.
Balaam said to him, “Build seven altars here for me, and prepare as many calves, and the same number of rams.”
30 Tad Balaks darīja, kā Bileāms bija sacījis, un upurēja vērsi un aunu uz ikviena altāra.
Balak did as Balaam had said, and he placed on each altar a calf and a ram.
