Tirintii 23

1 Oo Balcaam wuxuu Baalaaq ku yidhi, Halkan iiga dhis toddoba meelood oo allabari, oo halkan iigu soo diyaari toddoba dibi iyo toddoba wan.

Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”

2 Markaasaa Baalaaq sameeyey sidii Balcaam ku hadlay, oo Baalaaq iyo Balcaam meel kasta oo allabariba waxay ku dul bixiyeen dibi iyo wan.

So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

3 Kolkaasaa Balcaam Baalaaq ku yidhi, Allabarigaaga la gubo ah istaag, oo anna waan tegayaa, mindhaa Rabbigu waa iga hor iman doonaa, oo wax alla wixii uu i tuso waan kuu sheegi doonaa. Markaasuu meel sare oo bannaan tegey.

“Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone,” Balaam said to Balak. “Perhaps the LORD will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you.” So Balaam went off to a barren height,

4 Kolkaasaa Ilaah Balcaam ka hor yimid, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan diyaariyey toddobada meelood oo allabari, oo meel kastaba waxaan ku dul bixiyey dibi iyo wan.

and God met with him. “I have set up seven altars,” Balaam said, “and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.”

5 Markaasaa Rabbigu eray Balcaam afka u geliyey, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Baalaaq ku noqo oo sidatan ula hadal.

Then the LORD put a message in Balaam’s mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and give him this message.”

6 Oo isna markaasuu ku noqday, oo wuxuu arkay isagoo ag taagan allabarigiisii la gubo, isagii iyo amiirradii reer Moo'aab oo dhan.

So he returned to Balak, who was standing there beside his burnt offering, with all the princes of Moab.

7 Markaasuu hadalkiisii bilaabay oo wuxuu yidhi, Baalaaq oo ah boqorkii reer Moo'aab oo ka yimid xagga buuraha bariga Ayaa iga keenay Araam, oo yidhi, Kaalay oo reer Yacquub ii habaar, Oo kaalay, cadhadaadu reer binu Israa'iil ha ku dhacdo.

And Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the mountains of the east. ‘Come,’ he said, ‘put a curse on Jacob for me; come and denounce Israel!’

8 Bal sidee baan u habaaraa mid aan Ilaah habaarin? Oo sidee baan ugu cadhoodaa mid aan Rabbigu ka cadhaysnayn?

How can I curse what God has not cursed? How can I denounce what the LORD has not denounced?

9 Waayo, dhagaxyada dushooda ayaan ka arkaa, Oo xagga buuraha ayaan uga jeedaa, Oo bal eeg, waa dad gooni u deggan, Iyagana quruumaha kale laguma tirin doono.

For I see them from atop the rocky cliffs, and I watch them from the hills. Behold, a people dwelling apart, not reckoning themselves among the nations.

10 Bal yaa qiyaasi kara reer Yacquub oo sida boodhka ah? Amase yaa tirin kara reer binu Israa'iil rubuciis? Anigu aan u dhinto sida kuwa xaqa ahu u dhintaan, Oo ugu dambaystayduna ha ahaato sida tooda oo kale.

Who can count the dust of Jacob or number even a fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous; let my end be like theirs!”

11 Kolkaasaa Baalaaq wuxuu Balcaam ku yidhi, War waa maxay waxa aad igu samaysay? Waxaan ku soo watay inaad cadaawayaashayda habaartid, laakiinse bal eeg, waad u wada ducaysay.

Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you here to curse my enemies, and behold, you have only blessed them!”

12 Kolkaasuu u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Sow waajib iguma aha inaan isjiro si aan ugu hadlo wixii Rabbigu afkayga geliyo?

But Balaam replied, “Should I not speak exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?”

13 Markaasaa Baalaaq isagii ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, Kaalay, oo meel kale ii raac inaad halkaas iyaga ka aragtid. Waxaad arki doontaa darafkooda, oo kulligood ma arki doontid; haddaba halkaas iiga habaar.

Then Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place where you can see them. You will only see the outskirts of their camp—not all of them. And from there, curse them for me.”

14 Markaasuu isagii geeyey berrinkii Sofiim xagga Buur Fisgaah dhaladeeda, oo halkaasuu ka dhisay toddoba meelood oo allabari, oo meel kasta wuxuu ku dul bixiyey dibi iyo wan.

So Balak took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, where he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

15 Oo markaasuu Baalaaq ku yidhi, Halkan allabarigaaga la gubo ag istaag intaan Rabbiga xaggaas shishe kaga hor tegayo.

Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there.”

16 Markaasaa Rabbigu ka hor yimid Balcaam, oo eray buu afka u geliyey, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Baalaaq ku noqo, oo sidatan ula hadal.

And the LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and speak what I tell you.”

17 Markaasuu isagii u yimid, oo wuxuu arkay isagoo ag taagan allabarigiisii la gubo, oo waxaa isaga la jiray amiirradii reer Moo'aab. Kolkaasaa Baalaaq isagii ku yidhi, War Rabbigu muxuu ku hadlay?

So he returned to Balak, who was standing there by his burnt offering with the princes of Moab. “What did the LORD say?” Balak asked.

18 Markaasuu hadalkiisii sii watay, oo wuxuu yidhi, Baalaaq, kac oo maqal, Bal aniga i dhegayso, ina Sifoorow.

Then Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Arise, O Balak, and listen; give ear to me, O son of Zippor.

19 Ilaah ma aha nin been sheego; Mana aha binu-aadmi qoomameeyo. Ma wuxuu yidhi buusan samaynayn? Ama ma wuxuu ku hadlay buusan yeelayn?

God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?

20 Bal eeg, waxaa laygu amray inaan u duceeyo. Isagaa barakeeyey, anna barakadaas ma aan beddeli karo.

I have indeed received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot change it.

21 Isagu reer Yacquub dembi kuma uu arag, Oo reer binu Israa'iil qalloocsanaan ugama uu jeedin. Rabbiga Ilaahood ah ayaa iyaga la jira, Oo waxaa dhexdooda ka yeedhaysa boqor qayladiis.

He considers no disaster for Jacob; He sees no trouble for Israel. The LORD their God is with them, and the shout of the King is among them.

22 Ilaah baa iyaga Masar ka soo bixiyey, Iyagu waxay leeyihiin xoog gisiyeed oo kale,

God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox.

23 Hubaal sixir reer Yacquub kuma dhaco, Oo reer binu Israa'iil innaba fal ma qabto, Haddaba Yacquub iyo Israa'iil waxaa laga sheegi doonaa, Bal fiiri waxa Ilaah sameeyey!

For there is no spell against Jacob and no divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and Israel, ‘What great things God has done!’

24 Bal eeg, dadku wuxuu u kacaa sidii gool oo kale, Oo sidii aar oo kale ayuu isu qaadaa: Oo isagu jiifsan maayo jeeruu ugaadh cuno, Oo uu dhiigga ka cabbo waxa uu dishay.

Behold, the people rise like a lioness; they rouse themselves like a lion, not resting until they devour their prey and drink the blood of the slain.”

25 Markaasaa Baalaaq wuxuu Balcaam ku yidhi, War iyaga hana habaarin, hana u ducayn innaba.

Now Balak said to Balaam, “Then neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!”

26 Laakiinse Balcaam ayaa jawaabay oo wuxuu Baalaaq ku yidhi, Sow kuuma sheegin oo kuguma odhan, Wixii Rabbigu ku hadlo oo dhan waa inaan sameeyaa?

But Balaam replied, “Did I not tell you that whatever the LORD says, I must do?”

27 Markaasaa Baalaaq wuxuu Balcaam ku yidhi, Haddaba kaalay, meel kalaan ku geeynayaaye, mindhaa Ilaah waa ku farxi doonaa inaad iyaga halkaas iiga habaartid.

“Please come,” said Balak, “I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God that you curse them for me from there.”

28 Markaasaa Baalaaq wuxuu Balcaam geeyey Buur Fecoor dhaladeeda taasoo lamadegaanka hoos u soo fiirisa.

And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the wasteland.

29 Oo Balcaam wuxuu Baalaaq ku yidhi, Halkan iiga dhis toddoba meelood oo allabari, oo halkan iigu soo diyaari toddoba dibi iyo toddoba wan.

Then Balaam said, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”

30 Markaasaa Baalaaq sameeyey sidii Balcaam ku yidhi, oo meel kasta oo allabariba wuxuu ku dul bixiyey dibi iyo wan.

So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
