Ceturtā Mozus 24
1 Kad nu Bileāms redzēja, ka Tam Kungam patika, Israēli svētīt, tad viņš vairs negāja pēc zīmēm, kā pirmo un otru reiz, bet grieza savu vaigu uz tuksnesi,
Balaam now realized that Yahweh wanted to bless the Israeli people, [not curse them]. So he did not use magic/divination [like a shaman would do] to find out what Yahweh wanted, as he often did. Instead, he turned toward the desert.
2 Un pacēla savas acis un redzēja Israēli, kas bija apmeties pēc savām ciltīm; un tas Dieva Gars nāca uz viņu.
He saw the Israeli people camped there [in their tents], with each tribe gathered in its own group. Then the Spirit of God took control of him,
3 Un viņš sāka savu teikumu teikt un sacīja: Bileāms, Beora dēls runā.
and enabled him to give this prophetic message to Balak: “I, Balaam, the son of Beor, am giving this prophecy; I am speaking as a man who sees [what will happen in the future] clearly speaks.
4 Tas vīrs, kam acis atvērtas, runā, tas Dieva vārdu klausītājs runā, kas redz Tā Visuvarenā parādīšanas, pie zemes meties atvērtām acīm:
I hear this message from God; I see a vision from him who is all-powerful. My eyes are open as I prostrate myself in front of him.
5 Cik jaukas ir tavas teltis, Jēkab, tavi dzīvokļi, Israēl!
You descendants of Jacob, your tents are very beautiful; they are truly lovely!
6 Kā upes ielejas, tā viņi izplešas, kā dārzi pie upēm, kā alvejas koki, ko Tas Kungs stādījis, kā ciedru koki pie ūdens!
Your tents are spread out [in front of me like groves of palm trees in] valleys, like gardens alongside a river. They are like strong aloe trees/plants that Yahweh has planted, like [strong] cedar trees [that grow] along the rivers.
7 Ūdens tek no viņa traukiem un viņa dzimumam ir ūdens papilnam, un viņa ķēniņš būs augstāks par Agagu, un viņa valsts augsti celta.
Your water buckets will always be full; the seeds [that you plant] will always have plenty of water [to make them grow]. The Israelis’ king will be greater than [King] Agag; the kingdom that he rules will be honored.
8 Dievs viņu izvedis no Ēģiptes, viņam ir spēki kā sūbram, viņš norij pagānus, savus ienaidniekus, un satriec viņu kaulus, ar savām bultām viņš tos sašauj.
God brought the Israelis out of Egypt, [leading them along] with his great power [MTY] like a wild ox has. He devastates all the nations that oppose him; he breaks all those people’s bones into pieces, and shoots them with his arrows.
9 Viņš ir apgulies kā lauva, kā lauvas māte - kas to traucēs? Kas tevi svētī, tas lai ir svētīts, un kas tevi nolād, tas lai ir nolādēts.
The Israelis are like lions that crouch and lie down, [ready to pounce on their prey] [SIM]. They are like lionesses [that are resting, but ready to attack]; no one [RHQ] would dare to arouse them! [God] will bless everyone who blesses you Israelis, and he will curse everyone who curses you.”
10 Tad Balaka bardzība iedegās pret Bileāmu un viņš sasita savas rokas kopā, un Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: es tevi esmu aicinājis, nolādēt manus ienaidniekus, bet redzi, tu tos nu trīs reiz svētīdams esi svētījis.
Then King Balak was extremely angry with Balaam. He showed with his hands that he was very angry, and he [shouted at Balaam], “I summoned you here to curse my enemies! Instead, you have (blessed/asked God to bless) them three times!
11 Un nu steidzies uz mājām, es domāju godādams tevi godāt, bet redzi, Tas Kungs tev to godu ir liedzis.
So now, get out of here! Go back home! I said that I would pay you a lot of money [if you cursed them], but Yahweh has prevented you from getting any pay!”
12 Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: vai es jau neteicu uz taviem vēstnešiem, ko tu pie manis esi sūtījis, sacīdams:
Balaam said to Balak, “[Do you not remember what] [RHQ] I told the messengers that you sent to me? I said,
13 Jebšu Balaks man dotu savu namu pilnu sudraba un zelta, tomēr es nevaru pārkāpt Tā Kunga vārdu, un darīt vai labu vai ļaunu pēc sava prāta. Ko Tas Kungs uz mani runās, to es runāšu.
‘Even if Balak would give me a palace filled with silver and gold, I would not disobey Yahweh. I cannot do anything bad or anything that is good [that he does not approve of].’ And I told you that I could say only what Yahweh says to me.
14 Un nu redzi, es eju pie saviem ļaudīm; nāc, es tev stāstīšu, ko šie ļaudis darīs taviem ļaudīm nākamās dienās.
So yes, I will return to my people, but first, allow me to tell you what will happen to you Moab people in the future.”
15 Un viņš sāka teikt savu teikumu un sacīja: Bileāms, Beora dēls, runā,
So Balaam said this [to Balak]: “I, Balaam, son of Beor, am again giving a prophecy, speaking as a man who sees [what will happen in the future] clearly speaks.
16 Tas vīrs, kam acis atvērtas, runā, tas Dieva vārdu klausītājs runā, kas atzīst Tā Visuaugstākā atzīšanu, kas redz Tā Visuvarenā parādīšanas, pie zemes meties atvērtām acīm:
I hear a message from God; I know things that God, who lives in heaven, has [revealed to me]. I see a vision from him who is all-powerful. My eyes are open as I prostrate myself in front of him.
17 Es viņu redzu, bet ne tagad, es viņu ieraugu, bet ne tuvu klāt. Zvaigzne uzlēks no Jēkaba, un scepteris celsies no Israēla, tas satrieks Moaba robežas un izpostīs visus dumpja ļaudis.
The things that I see [in the vision] are not [going to happen] now; I see things [that God will cause to happen] in the future. A man who is [a descendant of] Jacob will appear like a star [MET]; a king who holds a scepter will be one of the Israeli people. He will crush the heads of you people of Moab; he will wipe out the descendants of Seth.
18 Un Edoms paliek par īpašumu un Seīrs paliek par īpašumu, viņa ienaidnieki, bet Israēls pieņemas spēkā.
The Israelis will occupy Edom, and they will conquer their enemies [who live near] Seir [Mountain]. The Israeli people will be victorious/strong.
19 Un no Jēkaba nāks tas valdītājs, un tas izpostīs, kas atlicies no tām pilsētām.
A ruler who is a descendant of Jacob will come; he will get rid of the people who still live in the city [where Balaam first met Balak].”
20 Un viņš redzēja Amaleku un sāka savu teikumu teikt un sacīja: Amaleks ir pagānu pirmais, bet viņa gals ir posts.
Then Balaam looked out over where the Amalek people-group [lived], and he prophesied this: “The Amalek people-group were the greatest nation, but they will be wiped out.”
21 Un viņš redzēja Keniešus un sāka savu teikumu teikt un sacīja: tavs dzīvoklis ir stiprs, un tu savu ligzdu esi taisījis uz klints.
Then he looked out over the area where the Ken people-group [lived], and he prophesied this: “You [think that] the place where you live is secure/safe like a nest that is made in the cliffs [MET],
22 Tomēr Kains taps sadedzināts. Cik ilgi būs, tad Asurs tevi vedīs cietumā.
but you will be wiped out when the army of Assyria conquers you.”
23 Un viņš sāka savu teikumu teikt un sacīja: Ak vai! Kas dzīvos, kad tas stiprais Dievs to darīs?
Balaam ended his prophecies by saying, “Also, (who can (survive/escape) when God does all these things?/no one will be able to (survive/escape) when God does all these things!) [RHQ]
24 Un lielas laivas no Ķitim spaidīs Asuru un spaidīs arī Ēberu, bet arī viņš pats tas spaidītājs ies bojā.
Ships will come from Cyprus [Island], and [the men in those ships] will defeat [the armies of] Assyria and Eber. But God will get rid of those men, too.”
25 Tad Bileāms cēlās un aizgāja un griezās atpakaļ uz mājām uz savu vietu, un Balaks gāja arīdzan savu ceļu.
Then Balaam and Balak returned to their homes.
