Nomery 23
1 Ary hoy Balama tamin’ i Balaka: Manorena alitara fito eto ho ahy, ka manamboara vantotr’ ombilahy fito sy ondrilahy fito.
Dixitque Balaam ad Balac: Ædifica mihi hic septem aras, et para totidem vitulos, ejusdemque numeri arietes.
2 Dia narahin’ i Balaka izay efa nolazain’ i Balama; ary Balaka sy Balama nanatitra vantotr’ ombilahy sy ondrilahy iray avy teo ambonin’ ny isan’ alitara.
Cumque fecisset juxta sermonem Balaam, imposuerunt simul vitulum et arietem super aram.
3 Dia hoy Balama tamin’ i Balaka: Mitoera eto anilan’ ny fanatitra doranao, fa izaho kosa handeha; angamba ho avy hihaona amiko Jehovah; ary izay hasehony amiko dia hambarako aminao. Ary lasa nankany amin’ ny tendrombohitra anankiray mangadihady izy.
Dixitque Balaam ad Balac: Sta paulisper juxta holocaustum tuum, donec vadam, si forte occurrat mihi Dominus, et quodcumque imperaverit, loquar tibi.
4 Ary Andriamanitra dia nihaona tamin’ i Balama; ary hoy Balama taminy: Ny alitara fito dia efa namboariko, ary efa nanatitra vantotr’ ombilahy sy ondrilahy iray avy teo ambonin’ ny isan’ alitara aho.
Cumque abiisset velociter, occurrit illi Deus. Locutusque ad eum Balaam: Septem, inquit, aras erexi, et imposui vitulum et arietem desuper.
5 Ary Jehovah nanisy teny teo am-bavan’ i Balama ka nanao hoe: Miverena any amin’ i Balaka, ary izany no holazainao.
Dominus autem posuit verbum in ore ejus, et ait: Revertere ad Balac, et hæc loqueris.
6 Dia niverina tany amin’ i Balaka izy, ary, indreo, teo anilan’ ny fanatitra dorany izy sy ireo andriandahin’ i Moaba rehetra.
Reversus invenit stantem Balac juxta holocaustum suum, et omnes principes Moabitarum:
7 Dia nanao oha-teny Balama ka nilaza hoe: Balaka nampaka ahy avy tany Arama, Ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba nampaka ahy avy tany amin’ ny tendrombohitra atsinanana: Avia, ka ozòny ho ahy Jakoba; ary mankanesa atỳ, ka sahatoy ny Isiraely.
assumptaque parabola sua, dixit: [De Aram adduxit me Balac rex Moabitarum, de montibus orientis: Veni, inquit, et maledic Jacob; propera, et detestare Israël.
8 Hataoko ahoana no fanozona izay tsy nozonin’ Andriamanitra? Ary hataoko ahoana no fisahato izay tsy nosahatoin’ i Jehovah?
Quomodo maledicam, cui non maledixit Deus? qua ratione detester, quem Dominus non detestatur?
9 Fa eto an-tampon’ ny vatolampy no ahitako azy, ary eto amin’ ny havoana no itazanako azy; indro, firenena mitoka-monina izy, ary tsy hatao ho isan’ ny jentilisa.
De summis silicibus videbo eum, et de collibus considerabo illum. Populus solus habitabit, et inter gentes non reputabitur.
10 Iza no mahisa ny vovok’ i Jakoba, na ny isan’ ny ampahefatry ny Isiraely? Aoka ho tahaka ny fahafatesan’ ny olo-marina ny fahafatesako, ary aoka ny hiafarako ho tahaka ny azy!
Quis dinumerare possit pulverem Jacob, et nosse numerum stirpis Israël? Moriatur anima mea morte justorum, et fiant novissima mea horum similia.]
11 Dia hoy Balaka tamin’ i Balama: Ahoana izao nataonao tamiko izao? Hanozona ny fahavaloko no nangalako anao, kanjo nitso-drano dia nitso-drano azy kosa ianao.
Dixitque Balac ad Balaam: Quid est hoc quod agis? ut malediceres inimicis meis vocavi te, et tu e contrario benedicis eis.
12 Dia namaly izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy hotandremako va ny hilaza izay ataon’ i Jehovah eto am-bavako?
Cui ille respondit: Num aliud possum loqui, nisi quod jusserit Dominus?
13 Dia hoy Balaka taminy: Andeha mba hiaraka amiko ho any amin’ ny tany hafa izay hahitanao azy; kanefa ny sisiny ihany no ho hitanao eo, fa tsy ho hitanao avokoa izy rehetra; ka ozòny ho ahy ao izy.
Dixit ergo Balac: Veni mecum in alterum locum unde partem Israël videas, et totum videre non possis: inde maledicito ei.
14 Dia nitondra azy tao an-tsaha Zofima izy, tao an-tampon’ i Pisga; ary nanorina alitara fito izy ka nanatitra vantotr’ ombilahy sy ondrilahy iray avy teo ambonin’ ny isan’ alitara.
Cumque duxisset eum in locum sublimem, super verticem montis Phasga, ædificavit Balaam septem aras, et impositis supra vitulo atque ariete,
15 Dia hoy izy tamin’ i Balaka: Mitoera eto anilan’ ny fanatitra doranao, fa izaho hankerỳ hihaona amin’ i Jehovah.
dixit ad Balac: Sta hic juxta holocaustum tuum, donec ego obvius pergam.
16 Ary Jehovah nihaona tamin’ i Balama, dia nanisy teny teo am-bavany ka nanao hoe: Miverena mankeo amin’ i Balaka ary izany no holazainao.
Cui cum Dominus occurrisset, posuissetque verbum in ore ejus, ait: Revertere ad Balac, et hæc loqueris ei.
17 Ary nony tonga tany aminy izy, dia, indreo, teo anilan’ ny fanatitra dorany izy sy ireo andriandahin’ i Moaba izay teo aminy. Dia hoy Balaka taminy: Ahoana no nolazain’ i Jehovah?
Reversus invenit eum stantem juxta holocaustum suum, et principes Moabitarum cum eo. Ad quem Balac: Quid, inquit, locutus est Dominus?
18 Dia nanao oha-teny Balama ka nilaza hoe: Mitsangàna, ry Balaka, ka mandrenesa; Atongilano amiko ny sofinao, ry zanak’ i Zipora;
At ille, assumpta parabola sua, ait: [Sta, Balac, et ausculta; audi, fili Sephor:
19 Andriamanitra tsy mba olona ka handainga, na zanak’ olombelona ka hanenina; moa efa nilaza va Izy, ka tsy hefainy? na efa niteny va Izy, ka tsy hotoviny?
non est Deus quasi homo, ut mentiatur, nec ut filius hominis, ut mutetur. Dixit ergo, et non faciet? locutus est, et non implebit?
20 Indro, ny hitahy no efa azoko; ary efa nitahy Izy, ka tsy mahova izany aho.
Ad benedicendum adductus sum: benedictionem prohibere non valeo.
21 Tsy mijery faharatsiana eo amin’ i Jakoba Izy. Ary tsy mahita fahoriana eo amin’ ny Isiraely; Jehovah Andriamaniny no nomba azy, Ary hoby fanao amin’ andriana no re eo aminy.
Non est idolum in Jacob, nec videtur simulacrum in Israël. Dominus Deus ejus cum eo est, et clangor victoriæ regis in illo.
22 Nentin’ Andriamanitra nivoaka avy tany Egypta izy, ary manan-kery toy ny ombimanga,
Deus eduxit illum de Ægypto, cujus fortitudo similis est rhinocerotis.
23 Fa tsy misy fisikidianana eo amin’ i Jakoba, ary tsy misy fankatovana eo amin’ Isiraely. Fa amin’ ny fotoana no hilazana amin’ i Jakoba sy Isiraely izay efa nataon’ i Jehovah.
Non est augurium in Jacob, nec divinatio in Israël: temporibus suis dicetur Jacob et Israëli quid operatus sit Deus.
24 Indro, firenena mitsangana toy ny liom-bavy sy miarina toy ny liona; tsy handry izy mandra-pihinany toha sy mandra-pisotrony ny ran’ ny voavono.
Ecce populus ut leæna consurget, et quasi leo erigetur: non accubabit donec devoret prædam, et occisorum sanguinem bibat.]
25 Dia hoy Balaka tamin’ i Balama: Aza manozona na mitso-drano azy akory
Dixitque Balac ad Balaam: Nec maledicas ei, nec benedicas.
26 Fa namaly kosa Balama ka nanao tamin’ i Balaka hoe; Tsy efa nilaza taminao va aho ka nanao hoe: Izay rehetra holazain’ i Jehovah, izany no hataoko?
Et ille ait: Nonne dixi tibi quod quidquid mihi Deus imperaret, hoc facerem?
27 Dia hoy Balaka tamin’ i Balama: Andeha ho entiko any amin’ izay tany hafa ianao; angamba ho sitrak’ Andriamanitra ny hanozonanao azy any ho ahy.
Et ait Balac ad eum: Veni, et ducam te ad alium locum: si forte placeat Deo ut inde maledicas eis.
28 Ary Balama dia nentin’ i Balaka ho ao an-tampon’ i Peora, izay manatrika ny efitra.
Cumque duxisset eum super verticem montis Phogor, qui respicit solitudinem,
29 Dia hoy Balama tamin’ i Balaka: Manorena alitara fito eto ho ahy, ka manamboara vantotr’ ombilahy fito sy ondrilahy fito.
dixit ei Balaam: Ædifica mihi hic septem aras, et para totidem vitulos, ejusdemque numeri arietes.
30 Ary Balaka dia nanao araka izay efa nolazain’ i Balama ka nanatitra vantotr’ ombilahy, sy ondrilahy iray avy teo ambonin’ ny isan’ alitara.
Fecit Balac ut Balaam dixerat: imposuitque vitulos et arietes per singulas aras.
