4 Mose 24
1 Afei, Balaam hunuu sɛ Awurade pɛ sɛ ɔhyira Israel. Yei enti, wankɔ abisa sɛdeɛ ɔtaa yɛ no. Na mmom, ɔtoo nʼani hwɛɛ ɛserɛ no so,
And whanne Balaam siy that it pleside the Lord that he schulde blesse Israel, he yede not as he `hadde go bifore, `that he schulde seke fals dyuynyng `bi chiteryng of briddis, but he dresside his face ayens the desert,
2 hunuu sɛ Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo no abobɔ wɔn atenaeɛ. Afei, Onyankopɔn honhom baa ne so,
and reiside iyen, and siy Israel dwellynge in tentis bi hise lynagis. And whanne the Spirit of God felde on hym, and whanne a parable was takun,
3 na yei ne nkɔmhyɛ a ɔmaaeɛ: “Beor ba Balaam nkɔmhyɛ no nie; nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfiri ɔbarima a nʼani hunu adeɛ yie,
he seide, Balaam, the sone of Beor, seide, a man whois iye is stoppid seide,
4 deɛ ɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm; deɛ ɔhunu anisoadeɛ a ɛfiri Otumfoɔ hɔ; na ɔda fam, a nʼani gu so:
the herere of Goddis wordis seide, which bihelde the reuelacioun of almyyti God, which fallith doun, and hise iyen ben openyd so, Hou faire ben thi tabernaclis,
5 “Ao Yakob, mo ntomadan yɛ fɛ, Ao Israel, mo afie yɛ ahomeka.
Jacob, and thi tentis, Israel!
6 “Ɛsam mʼanim te sɛ mmɛfuo, te sɛ nturo frɔmfrɔm wɔ asubɔnten ho. Wɔte sɛ pɛperɛ a Awurade adua, te sɛ ntweneduro a ɛbɛn nsuo ho.
as valeys ful of woodis, and moiste gardyns bisidis floodis, as tabernaclis whiche the Lord hath set, as cedris bisidis watris;
7 Wɔbɛnya nsuo bebree. Wɔn mma bɛnya deɛ ɛhia wɔn nyinaa. “Wɔn ɔhene bɛyɛ kɛse akyɛn Agag; wɔn ahennie bɛkorɔn.
watir schal flowe of his bokat, and his seed schal be in to many watris, `that is, puplis. The kyng of hym schal be takun a wei for Agag, and the rewme of hym schal be doon awai.
8 “Onyankopɔn de wɔn firi Misraim aba; ɔtwee wɔn sɛ wiram nantwie. Ɔsɛe amanaman a wɔtia no nyinaa, ɔbubu wɔn nnompe mu asinasini, ɔto bɛmma wowɔ wɔn.
God ledde hym out of Egipt, whos strengthe is lijk an vnicorn; thei schulen deuoure hethene men, enemyes `of hym, that is, of Israel; and thei schulen breke the boonus of hem, and schulen perse with arowis.
9 Israel butu hɔ sɛ gyata; ɔte sɛ gyataburu, na hwan na ɔbɛtumi anyane no? “Ao Israel, nhyira nka obiara a ɔhyira wo, na nnome nka obiara a ɔdome wo.”
He restide and slepte as a lyoun, and as a lionesse, whom no man schal dore reise. He that blessith thee, schal be blessid; he that cursith, schal
10 Ɔhene Balak bo fuu Balaam. Ɔde Abufuo bɔɔ ne nsam guu ne so teaam sɛ, “Mefrɛɛ wo sɛ bɛdome, mʼatamfoɔ nanso woahyira wɔn mprɛnsa.
be arettid in to cursyng And Balaach was wrooth ayens Balaam, and seide, whanne the hondis weren wrungun to gidere, I clepide thee to curse myn enemyes, whiche ayenward thou hast blessid thries.
11 Firi me so kɔ! Sane kɔ wo nkyi! Meyɛɛ mʼadwene sɛ anka mɛhyɛ wo animuonyam, nanso, Awurade de akame wo!”
Turne ayen to thi place; forsothe Y demede to onoure thee greetli, but the Lord priuyde thee fro onour disposid.
12 Balaam buaa no sɛ, “Wonkae asɛm a meka kyerɛɛ wʼasomafoɔ no? Mekaa sɛ,
Balaam answeride to Balaach, Whethir Y seide not to thi messangeris, whiche thou sentist to me,
13 ‘Sɛ Balak ma me ahemfie a wɔde dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahyɛ hɔ ma koraa a, menni tumi sɛ mɛyɛ biribi atia Awurade apɛdeɛ.’ Meka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ asɛm a Awurade aka no nko ara na mɛka.
Thouy Balaach schal yyue to me his hows ful of siluer and of gold, Y schal not mow passe the word of my Lord God, that Y brynge forth of myn herte ony thing, ethir of good ethir of yuel, but what euer thing the Lord schal seie, Y schal speke this?
14 Afei, meresane akɔ me nkurɔfoɔ nkyɛn. Nanso, deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ma menka deɛ Israelfoɔ no bɛyɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ daakye no nkyerɛ wo.”
Netheles Y schal go to my puple, and Y schal yyue counsel to thee, what thi puple schal do in the laste tyme to this puple.
15 Yei ne nkɔmhyɛ a Balaam de maeɛ: “Beor ba Balaam nkɔmhyɛ no nie; nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfiri ɔbarima a nʼani hunu adeɛ yie,
Therfor whanne a parable was takun, he seide eft, Balaam, the sone of Beor seide, a man whos iye is stoppid,
16 deɛ ɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm; deɛ ɔwɔ nyansa a ɛfiri Ɔsorosoroni no deɛ ɔhunu anisoadeɛ a ɛfiri Otumfoɔ hɔ; na ɔda fam, a nʼani gu so:
seide, the herere of Goddis wordis seide, which knowith the doctrine of the hiyeste, and seeth the reuelacioun of almiyti God, which fallith doun and hath opyn iyen,
17 “Mɛhunu no, nanso ɛnyɛ seesei; mehwɛ no wɔ daakye akyirikyiri. Nsoromma bɛpue afiri Yakob mu! Ahempoma bɛfiri Israel mu. Ɔbɛyam Moabfoɔ tiri, na wapaapae Moab mma tikwankora.
Y schal se hym, but not now; Y schal biholde hym, but not nyy; a sterre schal be borun of Jacob, and a yerde schal rise of Israel; and he schal smyte the duykis of Moab, and he schal waste alle the sones of Seth; and Ydumye schal be hys possessioun,
18 Wɔbɛfa Edom, na Seir a ɔyɛ ne ɔtamfoɔ no, wɔbɛdi ne so nkonim, na Israel bɛkɔ so adi nkonim.
the eritage of Seir schal bifalle to his enemyes; forsothe Israel schal do strongli, of Jacob schal be he that schal be lord,
19 Ɔhene bi bɛsɔre wɔ Yakob mu ɔno na ɔbɛsɛe Ir nkaeɛfoɔ.”
and schal leese the relikis of the citee.
20 Afei, Balaam hwɛɛ Amalekfoɔ fie hyɛɛ nkɔm sɛ, “Amalek na na ɛyɛ aman nyinaa abakan, nanso ne hyɛberɛ ne ɔsɛeɛ!”
And whanne he hadde seyn Amalech, he took a parable, and seide, Amalech is the bigynning of hethene men, whos laste thingis schulen be lost.
21 Afei, ɔhwɛɛ Kenifoɔ hyɛɛ nkɔm sɛ, “Mo atenaeɛ yɛ pa ara, wanwono mo pirebuo wɔ abotan mu.
Also `he siy Cyney, and whanne a parable was takun, he seide, Forsothe thi dwellyng place is strong, but if thou schalt sette thi nest in a stoon,
22 Nanso, wɔbɛsɛe Kenifoɔ ɛberɛ a Asurhene afa mo nnomum.”
and schalt be chosun of the generacioun of Cyn, hou longe schalt thou mow dwelle? forsothe Assur schal take thee.
23 Nsɛm a ɔde wiee ne nkɔmhyɛ no ne sɛ: “Aa, sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ sei a, hwan na ɔbɛtena nkwa mu?
And whanne a parable was takun, he spak eft, Alas! who schal lyue, whanne the Lord schal make thes thingis?
24 Ahyɛn bɛfiri Kipro mpoano aba Na abɛka Eber ne Asur ahyɛ. Nanso wɔn nso, wɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa.”
Thei schulen come in grete schippis fro Ytalie, thei schulen ouercome Assiries, and thei schulen distrie Ebrews, and at the last also thei hem silf schulen perische.
25 Enti, Balaam ne Balak sane kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
And Balaam roos, and turnide ayen in to his place; and Balaach yede ayen bi the weye in which he cam.
