Nomery 24
1 Aa kanao nioni’ i Balame te ninò’ Iehovà ty hitata Israele le tsy nisikilie’e nanahake i lili’ey fe nampitolihe’e mb’ am-patrambey eñe ty lahara’e.
And when Balaam saw that it pleased God to bless Israel, he did not go according to his custom to meet the omens, but turned his face toward the wilderness.
2 Aa naho niandra t’i Balame le nioni’e t’Israele nimoneñe an-kiboho’e ey nilahatse amo fifokoa’eo; le nivotrak’ ama’e ty arofon’ Andrianañahare;
And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and sees Israel encamped by their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
3 vaho nonjone’e ami’ty hoe ty razan-drehake, Hoe ty fetse’ i Balame ana’ i Beore, naho ty lañona’ ondaty am-pihaino misokake.
And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
4 Ty enta’ ondaty mahajanjiñe ty tsaran’Añahare, naho mahaisake ty aroñaro’ i El-Sadai, mibaboke fe am-pihaino mibolanake:
he says who hears the oracle of the Mighty One, who saw a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened:
5 Fanjaka o kiboho’oo ry Iakòbe naho o kivoho’oo ry Israele.
How goodly [are] your habitations, Jacob, and your tents, Israel!
6 Mivelatse hoe vavatane, hoe kodobo añ’olon-tsaka, hoe vahoñe nambole’ Iehovà hoe mendoraveñe añ’olon-drano.
as shady groves, and as gardens by a river, and as tents which God pitched, and as cedars by the waters.
7 Hidoandoan-drano o sihoa’eo naho ho an-drano maro o tabiri’eo. Mitoabotse ambone’ i Agage ty mpanjaka’e vaho onjoneñe i fifehea’ey.
There shall come a man out of his seed, and he shall rule over many nations; and the kingdom of Gog shall be exalted, and his kingdom shall be increased.
8 Manahake ty tsifan-drimo mitiotiotse t’i Andrianañahare nampiavotse aze amy Mitsraime. Hampibotseke ze tane malaiñe aze hampipozapozake o taola’eo, hampitrofahe’e amo ana-pale’eo.
God led him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn: he shall consume the nations of his enemies, and he shall drain their marrow, and with his darts he shall shoot through the enemy.
9 Nitsakononòke re, nanao fandrean-diona naho hoe liona rene’e, ia ty hampitsekak’ aze? Hene soa tata ze mitat’azo Fonga ozoñeñe o mañozoñ’azoo.
He lay down, he rested as a lion, and as a young lion; who shall stir him up? they that bless you are blessed, and they that curse you are cursed.
10 Nisolebotse amy Balame amy zao ty habose’ i Balake, le nifampitrabohe’e o fità’eo, naho hoe t’i Balak’ amy Balame, Nikanjiako hañozoñe o rafelahikoo, vaho hehe te nitsitsihe’o tata in-telo.
And Balac was angry with Balaam, and clapped his hands together; and Balac said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemy, and behold you have decidedly blessed [him] this third time.
11 Mibioña arè mb’ an-toe’o añe, ie ho nonjoneko andikerañe eñe ty asi’o; te mone kinala’ Iehovà i ho ni-enge’oy.
Now therefore flee to your place: I said, I will honor you, but now the Lord has deprived you of glory.
12 Le hoe t’i Balame amy Balake, Tsy vinolako hao o ìra’o nampihitrife’o amakoo ty hoe,
And Balaam said to Balac, Did I not speak to your messengers also whom you sent to me, saying,
13 Ndra te hatolo’ i Balak’ ahiko ty volafoty naho volamena mahaatseke i anjomba’ey, tsy ho likoareko ty falie’ Iehovà, hanoako ty soa ndra ty raty boak’ an-troko, fa ze nitsarae’ Iehovà ty ho taroñeko?
If Balac should give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to transgress the word of the Lord to make it good or bad by myself; whatever things God shall say, them will I speak.
14 Aa le himpoliako ondatikoo henaneo, fe adono hey hitoroako ty hanoe’ ondaty reroañe am’ondati’oo amo andro ampara’e añeo.
And now, behold, I return to my place; come, I will advise you of what this people shall do to your people in the last days.
15 Aa le nonjone’e ami’ty hoe i fandrazaña’ey: Ty lañona’ i Balame ana’ i Beore, ty taro’ ondaty am-pihaino nabeake.
And he took up his parable and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
16 Ty kora’ i mpijanjiñe o tsaran’ Añahareoy, vaho ama’e ty fahafohinañe i Andindimoneñey, Oni’e ty aroñaro’ i El-Sadai mibaboke fe am-pihaino mibeake:
hearing the oracles of God, receiving knowledge from the Most High, and having seen a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened.
17 Treako fa tsy henaneo; misamb’ aze iraho fe tsy mitotoke; hiboak’ am’ Iakòbe ty vasiañe; hionjoñe hirik’am’ Israele ty kobaiñe, ho demohe’e o olon-tane’ i Moabeo le fonga ho rotsahe’e o anam-pifandrakarakañeo.
I will point to him, but not now; I bless him, but he draws not near: a star shall rise out of Jacob, a man shall spring out of Israel; and shall crush the princes of Moab, and shall spoil all the sons of Seth.
18 Ho fanañañe t’i Edome, ho hanaña’ o rafelahi’eo t’i Seire, le hitoloñ’ an-kafatrarañe t’Israele.
And Edom shall be an inheritance, and Esau his enemy shall be an inheritance [of Israel], and Israel wrought valiantly.
19 Hiboak’ am’ Iakòbe ty hifehe, handrotsake ty sehanga’ i Are.
And [one] shall arise out of Jacob, and destroy out of the city him that escapes.
20 Ie nitalakese’e t’i Amaleke le nonjone’e ty fetse’e ami’ty hoe: Nilohà’ o kilakila taneo t’i Amaleke, Fe hamongorañe ty ho figadoña’e.
And having seen Amalec, he took up his parable and said, Amalec [is] the first of the nations; yet his seed shall perish.
21 Nisambae’e amy zao o nte-Keineo, vaho nañonjona’e fetse ami’ ty hoe: Fatratse o fimoneña’oo naho mioreñe an-damilamy eo ty akiba’o;
And having seen the Kenite, he took up his parable and said, your dwelling-place [is] strong; yet though you should put your nest in a rock,
22 fe ho forototoeñe t’i Kàine; ampara’ mbia te ho tana’ i Asore an-drohy?
and though Beor should have a skillfully contrived hiding-place, the Assyrians shall carry you away captive.
23 Le nonjone’e ty fetse’e nanao ty hoe: Hedey! Ia ty ho veloñe naho akipen’ Añahare?
And he looked upon Og, and took up his parable and said, Oh, oh, who shall live, when God shall do these things?
24 Hitotsak’ eo o lakambey hirik’ añ’olo’ i Ketio, ho silofe’ iareo t’i Asore naho hampiambane’e t’i Aibere, ampara’ t’ie mongotse nainai’e.
And one shall come forth from the hands of the Citians, and shall afflict Assur, and shall afflict the Hebrews, and they shall perish together.
25 Aa le niongake t’i Balame, nienga, naho nimpoly mb’an-toe’e añe; vaho nimb’ amy lia’e mb’eo ka t’i Balake.
And Balaam rose up and departed and returned to his place, and Balac went to his own home.
