Ceturtā Mozus 23
1 Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: uztaisi man šeitan septiņus altārus un sataisi man še septiņus vēršus un septiņus aunus.
Balaam said to Balak, “Build here seven altars for me, and prepare here seven bulls and seven rams for me.”
2 Tad Balaks tā darīja, kā Bileāms bija sacījis, un Balaks un Bileāms upurēja vērsi un aunu uz ikviena altāra.
Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.
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.
Balaam said to Balak, “Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps the LORD will come to meet me. Whatever he shows me I will tell you.” He went to a bare height.
4 Un Dievs sastapa Bileāmu, un tas uz Viņu sacīja: septiņus altārus es esmu uztaisījis un vērsi un aunu upurējis uz ikviena altāra.
God met Balaam, and he said to him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.”
5 Tad Tas Kungs lika Bileāma mutē to vārdu un sacīja: griezies atpakaļ pie Balaka un runā tā.
The LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”
6 Un kad viņš pie šī atgriezās, redzi, tad šis stāvēja pie sava dedzināmā upura ar visiem Moaba lielkungiem.
He returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
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.
He took up his parable, and said, “From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.
8 Kā lai es nolādu, ko Dievs nelād, un kā lai es nosodu, ko Tas Kungs nesoda?
How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy whom the LORD has not defied?
9 Jo no augstas klints es viņu redzu, un no tiem kalniem es to ieraugu; redzi, tauta, kas savrup dzīvo un nepieskaitās pagāniem!
For from the top of the rocks I see him. From the hills I see him. Behold, it is a people that dwells alone, and shall not be listed amongst 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 count the dust of Jacob, or count the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous! Let my last end be like his!”
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.
Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.”
12 Tad viņš atbildēja un sacīja: vai man nav jādara, ko Tas Kungs mana mutē licis runāt?
He answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD puts in my mouth?”
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.
Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.”
14 Tā viņš to ņēma līdz uz Cofim tīrumu, uz Pizgas kalngalu, un uztaisīja septiņus altārus un upurēja vērsi un aunu uz ikviena altāra.
He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
15 Un viņš sacīja uz Balaku: paliec šeitan pie sava dedzināmā upura, es tur iešu pretī.
He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”
16 Tad Tas Kungs sastapa Bileāmu un lika viņa mutē to vārdu un sacīja: griezies atpakaļ pie Balaka un runā tā.
The LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and say this.”
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?
He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. 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.
He took up his parable, and said, “Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, 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 a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and he won’t do it? Or has he spoken, and he won’t make it good?
20 Redzi, man ir pavēlēts svētīt; Viņš ir svētījis, un es nedarīšu citādi.
Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can’t reverse it.
21 Noziegumu Viņš neredz iekš Jēkaba un ļaunumu neatrod iekš Israēla; Tas Kungs, viņa Dievs, ir ar viņu, un ķēniņa prieki pie viņa.
He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. The LORD his God is with him. The shout of a king is amongst them.
22 Dievs tos ir izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes; spēki viņam ir kā sūbram.
God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.
23 Jo zīlēšana neder pret Jēkabu un buršana neder pret Israēli. Savā laikā Jēkabam top sacīts un Israēlim, ko Dievs dara.
Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What has God done!’
24 Redzi, tauta, kas ceļas kā lauvas māte un kas šaujās augšā kā lauva; neapgulstās, kamēr laupījums aprīts un dzer nokauto asinis.
Behold, a people rises up as a lioness. As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”
25 Tad Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: tev nemaz nebūs viņu ne lādēt, ne svētīt.
Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”
26 Bet Bileāms atbildēja un sacīja uz Balaku: vai es uz tevi neesmu runājis sacīdams: visu, ko Tas Kungs runās, to es darīšu?
But Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that the LORD speaks, that I must 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.
Balak said to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”
28 Tad Balaks Bileāmu veda uz Peora kalngalu, kas pret tuksnesi stiepjas.
Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert.
29 Un Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: uztaisi man šeit septiņus altārus un sataisi man septiņus vēršus un septiņus aunus.
Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.”
30 Tad Balaks darīja, kā Bileāms bija sacījis, un upurēja vērsi un aunu uz ikviena altāra.
Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
