< اَلْعَدَد 24 >
فَلَمَّا رَأَى بَلْعَامُ أَنَّهُ يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ يُبَارِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَمْ يَنْطَلِقْ كَٱلْمَرَّةِ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِيُوافِيَ فَأْلًا، بَلْ جَعَلَ نَحْوَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَجْهَهُ. | ١ 1 |
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.
وَرَفَعَ بَلْعَامُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَرَأَى إِسْرَائِيلَ حَالًّا حَسَبَ أَسْبَاطِهِ، فَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱللهِ، | ٢ 2 |
And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and sees Israel encamped by their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «وَحْيُ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ. وَحْيُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْمَفْتُوحِ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ٣ 3 |
And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
وَحْيُ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ ٱللهِ. ٱلَّذِي يَرَى رُؤْيَا ٱلْقَدِيرِ، مَطْرُوحًا وَهُوَ مَكْشُوفُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ: | ٤ 4 |
he says who hears the oracle of the Mighty One, who saw a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened:
مَا أَحْسَنَ خِيَامَكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ، مَسَاكِنَكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ! | ٥ 5 |
How goodly [are] your habitations, Jacob, and your tents, Israel!
كَأَوْدِيَةٍ مُمْتَدَّةٍ. كَجَنَّاتٍ عَلَى نَهْرٍ، كَشَجَرَاتِ عُودٍ غَرَسَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ. كَأَرْزَاتٍ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ. | ٦ 6 |
as shady groves, and as gardens by a river, and as tents which God pitched, and as cedars by the waters.
يَجْرِي مَاءٌ مِنْ دِلَائِهِ، وَيَكُونُ زَرْعُهُ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ غَزِيرَةٍ، وَيَتَسَامَى مَلِكُهُ عَلَى أَجَاجَ وَتَرْتَفِعُ مَمْلَكَتُهُ. | ٧ 7 |
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.
ٱللهُ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ. لَهُ مِثْلُ سُرْعَةِ ٱلرِّئْمِ. يَأْكُلُ أُمَمًا، مُضَايِقِيهِ، وَيَقْضِمُ عِظَامَهُمْ وَيُحَطِّمُ سِهَامَهُ. | ٨ 8 |
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.
جَثَمَ كَأَسَدٍ. رَبَضَ كَلَبْوَةٍ. مَنْ يُقِيمُهُ؟ مُبَارِكُكَ مُبَارَكٌ، وَلَاعِنُكَ مَلْعُونٌ». | ٩ 9 |
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.
فَٱشْتَعَلَ غَضَبُ بَالَاقَ عَلَى بَلْعَامَ، وَصَفَّقَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ بَالَاقُ لِبَلْعَامَ: «لِتَشْتِمَ أَعْدَائِي دَعَوْتُكَ، وَهُوَذَا أَنْتَ قَدْ بَارَكْتَهُمُ ٱلْآنَ ثَلَاثَ دَفَعَاتٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
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.
فَٱلْآنَ ٱهْرُبْ إِلَى مَكَانِكَ. قُلْتُ أُكْرِمُكَ إِكْرَامًا، وَهُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ مَنَعَكَ عَنِ ٱلْكَرَامَةِ». | ١١ 11 |
Now therefore flee to your place: I said, I will honor you, but now the Lord has deprived you of glory.
فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِبَالَاقَ: «أَلَمْ أُكَلِّمْ أَيْضًا رُسُلَكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا: | ١٢ 12 |
And Balaam said to Balac, Did I not speak to your messengers also whom you sent to me, saying,
وَلَوْ أَعْطَانِي بَالَاقُ مِلْءَ بَيْتِهِ فِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَتَجَاوَزَ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَعْمَلَ خَيْرًا أَوْ شَرًّا مِنْ نَفْسِي. ٱلَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِيَّاهُ أَتَكَلَّمُ. | ١٣ 13 |
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.
وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا أَنَا مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى شَعْبِي. هَلُمَّ أُنْبِئْكَ بِمَا يَفْعَلُهُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ بِشَعْبِكَ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». | ١٤ 14 |
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.
ثُمَّ نَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «وَحْيُ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ. وَحْيُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْمَفْتُوحِ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And he took up his parable and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
وَحْيُ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ ٱللهِ وَيَعْرِفُ مَعْرِفَةَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ. ٱلَّذِي يَرَى رُؤْيَا ٱلْقَدِيرِ سَاقِطًا وَهُوَ مَكْشُوفُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ: | ١٦ 16 |
hearing the oracles of God, receiving knowledge from the Most High, and having seen a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened.
أَرَاهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ ٱلْآنَ. أُبْصِرُهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ قَرِيبًا. يَبْرُزُ كَوْكَبٌ مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَقُومُ قَضِيبٌ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيُحَطِّمُ طَرَفَيْ مُوآبَ، وَيُهْلِكُ كُلَّ بَنِي ٱلْوَغَى. | ١٧ 17 |
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.
وَيَكُونُ أَدُومُ مِيرَاثًا، وَيَكُونُ سِعِيرُ أَعْدَاؤُهُ مِيرَاثًا. وَيَصْنَعُ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِبَأْسٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
And Edom shall be an inheritance, and Esau his enemy shall be an inheritance [of Israel], and Israel wrought valiantly.
وَيَتَسَلَّطُ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَهْلِكُ ٱلشَّارِدُ مِنْ مَدِينَةٍ». | ١٩ 19 |
And [one] shall arise out of Jacob, and destroy out of the city him that escapes.
ثُمَّ رَأَى عَمَالِيقَ فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «عَمَالِيقُ أَوَّلُ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَمَّا آخِرَتُهُ فَإِلَى ٱلْهَلَاكِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And having seen Amalec, he took up his parable and said, Amalec [is] the first of the nations; yet his seed shall perish.
ثُمَّ رَأَى ٱلْقِينِيَّ فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «لِيَكُنْ مَسْكَنُكَ مَتِينًا، وَعُشُّكَ مَوْضُوعًا فِي صَخْرَةٍ. | ٢١ 21 |
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,
لَكِنْ يَكُونُ قَايِنُ لِلدَّمَارِ. حَتَّى مَتَى يَسْتَأْسِرُكَ أَشُّورُ؟». | ٢٢ 22 |
and though Beor should have a skillfully contrived hiding-place, the Assyrians shall carry you away captive.
ثُمَّ نَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «آهْ! مَنْ يَعِيشُ حِينَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
And he looked upon Og, and took up his parable and said, Oh, oh, who shall live, when God shall do these things?
وَتَأْتِي سُفُنٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ كِتِّيمَ وَتُخْضِعُ أَشُّورَ، وَتُخْضِعُ عَابِرَ، فَهُوَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْهَلَاكِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
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.
ثُمَّ قَامَ بَلْعَامُ وَٱنْطَلَقَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. وَبَالَاقُ أَيْضًا ذَهَبَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And Balaam rose up and departed and returned to his place, and Balac went to his own home.
