And he said Balaam to Balak build for me in this [place] seven altars and prepare for me in this [place] seven young bulls and seven rams.
2 Balaki ṣe bí Balaamu ti sọ, àwọn méjèèjì fi akọ màlúù kọ̀ọ̀kan àti àgbò kọ̀ọ̀kan rú ẹbọ lórí pẹpẹ kọ̀ọ̀kan.
And he did Balak just as he had spoken Balaam and he offered up Balak and Balaam a young bull and a ram on the altar.
3 Nígbà náà Balaamu sọ fún Balaki pé, “Dúró ti ẹbọ sísun rẹ kí èmi sì lọ sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ kan. Bóyá Olúwa yóò farahàn mí. Ohunkóhun tí ó bá fihàn mí, èmi yóò wí fún ọ.” Nígbà náà ó sì lọ sí ibi gíga.
And he said Balaam to Balak take your stand with burnt offering your so let me go perhaps he will meet Yahweh to meet me and [the] word of whatever he will show me and I will tell to you and he went a bare height.
4 Ọlọ́run sì pàdé rẹ̀, Balaamu sì sọ pé, “Mo tí ṣe pẹpẹ méje, lórí pẹpẹ kọ̀ọ̀kan mo ti fi akọ màlúù àti àgbò kọ̀ọ̀kan rú ẹbọ.”
And he met God Balaam and he said to him [the] seven the altars I have arranged and I have offered up a young bull and a ram on the altar.
5 Olúwa sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ sí ẹnu Balaamu ó wí pé, “Padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Balaki kí o sì jẹ́ iṣẹ́ yìí fún un.”
And he put Yahweh a word in [the] mouth of Balaam and he said return to Balak and thus you will speak.
6 Ó sì padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ó sì ba tí ó dúró ti ẹbọ sísun rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè Moabu.
And he returned to him and there! [he was] standing with burnt offering his he and all [the] leaders of Moab.

And he lifted up oracle his and he said from Aram he led me Balak [the] king of Moab from [the] mountains of [the] east come! curse! for me Jacob and come! denounce! Israel.
8 Báwo ní èmi ó ṣe fi bú àwọn tí Ọlọ́run kò fi bú? Báwo ni èmi ó ṣe bá wọn wí àwọn tí Olúwa kò bá wí?
What? will I curse [one whom] not he has cursed him God and what? will I denounce [one whom] not he has denounced Yahweh.
9 Láti ṣóńṣó ibi gíga orí àpáta ni mo ti rí wọn, láti orí ibi gíga ni mo ti ń wò wọ́n. Mo rí àwọn ènìyàn tí ń gbé lọ́tọ̀ wọn kò sì ka ará wọn kún ara àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
For from [the] top of [the] rocks I see him and from [the] hills I observe him there! a people [which] alone it dwells and among the nations not it reckons itself.
10 Ta ni ó lè ka eruku Jakọbu tàbí ka ìdámẹ́rin Israẹli? Jẹ́ kí èmi kú ikú olódodo, kí ìgbẹ̀yìn mi kí ó dà bí tirẹ̀!”
Who? has he counted [the] dust of Jacob and a number [the] fourth part of Israel let it die self my [the] death of upright [people] and let it be end my like his.
11 Balaki sọ fún Balaamu pé, “Kí lo ṣe fún mi? Mo gbé ọ wá láti fi àwọn ọ̀tá mi bú, ṣùgbọ́n o kò ṣe nǹkan kan, ṣùgbọ́n o bùkún wọn!”
And he said Balak to Balaam what? have you done to me to curse enemies my I took you and here! you have blessed actually.
12 Ó sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ṣé kí n má sọ nǹkan tí Olúwa fi sí mi lẹ́nu?”
And he answered and he said ¿ not [that] which he will put Yahweh in mouth my it will I take care to speak.

And he said to him Balak (come there! *Q(K)*) please with me to a place another where you will see it from there only outskirt[s] its you will see and all of it not you will see and curse it for me from there.
14 Ó sì lọ sí pápá Sofimu ní orí òkè Pisga, ó sì kọ́ pẹpẹ méje síbẹ̀ ó sì fi akọ màlúù àti àgbò kọ̀ọ̀kan rú ẹbọ lórí pẹpẹ kọ̀ọ̀kan.

And he lifted up oracle his and he said arise O Balak and hear give ear! to me [O] son his Zippor.
19 Ọlọ́run kì í ṣe ènìyàn, tí yóò fi purọ́, tàbí ọmọ ènìyàn, tí ó lè yí ọkàn rẹ̀ padà. Ǹjẹ́ ó sọ̀rọ̀ kí ó má ṣe é? Ǹjẹ́ ó ti ṣèlérí kí ó má mu un ṣẹ?
Not [is] a human God so he may lie and a son of humankind so he may change his mind ¿ he has he said and not will he act? and has he spoken? and not will he fulfill? it.

Here! [surely] blessing I have received and he has blessed and not I will turn back it.
21 “Kò rí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kankan nínú Jakọbu, kò sì rí búburú kankan nínú Israẹli. Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn sì wà pẹ̀lú wọn. Ìhó ọba sì wà pẹ̀lú wọn.
Not he has looked at disaster in Jacob and not he has seen trouble in Israel Yahweh God his [is] with him and a shout of a king [is] among him.
22 Ọlọ́run mú wọn jáde láti Ejibiti wá, wọ́n ní agbára màlúù ẹhànnà.
God [is] bringing out them from Egypt like [the] horns of a wild ox [belong] to him.
23 Kò ní àfọ̀ṣẹ sí Jakọbu, tàbí àfọ̀ṣẹ sí àwọn Israẹli. Nísinsin yìí a ó sọ nípa ti Jakọbu àti Israẹli, ‘Wo ohun tí Ọlọ́run ti ṣe!’
For not enchantment [is] in Jacob and not divination [is] in Israel about this time it will be said of Jacob and of Israel what! has he done God.
24 Àwọn ènìyàn náà yóò dìde bí abo kìnnìún; wọ́n yóò sì gbé ara wọn sókè bí i kìnnìún òun kì yóò sì dùbúlẹ̀ títí yóò fi jẹ ohun ọdẹ títí yóò sì fi mu nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ohun pípa.”
There! a people like a lion it rises and like a lion it lifts itself up not it will lie down until it will devour prey and [the] blood of [those] slain it will drink.
