1 Chuin balaam’in jong Balak lengpa komma asei tan Pumgo thilto Maicham nato na ding mun-sagi nei bol peh tan chuleh bongchal sagi chule kelngoi chal sagi neigon tup peh tan ati.

And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.

2 Balak in Balaam thupeh ho chu angaijin chu in achelhon tan, pumgo maicham asem lhon in bongchal nou ahin kelchal pumgo thil tona chunga akatdoh lhon tai.

And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on [every] altar a bullock and a ram.

3 Hichun Balaam min Balak komma hitin aseitan, hikom pumgo maicham kihal na ahin ana um ta din, keima Pathen in eiki hou lim pi hinam ti kaga kholchil ding, chuteng hiche ho chu nangma ka sei peh ding na hi ati. Hichun Balaam chu Molchung gei achangin akal tan ahi.

And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.

4 Hilai achun Pathen in Balaam akimupin a sei pehtai, “Kei man Mai-cham sagi ka bol tai, chuleh bongchal nou khat cheh le kelngoi chal khat cheh ka lhandoh tai ati.

And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon [every] altar a bullock and a ram.

5 Hichun Pathen in Balaam chu ahoulim pin Balak asei peh ding thu apen; Hijou chun Nangma nung che tan Balak heng lam ah hiche ka thu sei doh hohi sei peh tan, ati.

And the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

6 Balaam chu a hung ki nung le tan ahi leh Balak lengpa chu Moab mi a milunho chu toh pumgo maicham lhan doh na muna ana ding kim tauve.

And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.

7 Hiche thucheng hohi Balaam in Balak dinga asei doh ho ahi.

And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, [saying], Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.

8 Ahinlah, Pakaiyin a gaosap lou ho chu keiman iti ka gaosap ding ham? Pathen in themmo achan louho chu iti themmo ka chan ding ham ati.

How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, [whom] the LORD hath not defied?

9 Keiman molchunga pat kaven, amaho chu molvum apat hin kamu soh kei uve. Hiteho hi chidang nam dang te akon lhenchom ahiu kamu doh e.

For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

10 Koiham Israel chilhah ho simjou ding chu, simseng lou neldi ja ahiuve. Israel mite chu koima chan simjou lou ding ahi. Keijong hiche nam thengho bang in um inting, amaho thi bang in thileng kati.

Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth [part] of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!

11 Hichun Balak Lengpan Balaam heng’a asei jin, Ipi neilo hitam? ka melma te gaosap dinga ka kou na hin ahinlah nang in Phatthei na boh jo tai ati

And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed [them] altogether.

12 Ahinlah, Balaam chun a donbut in “Keiman vang Pathen in thu cheng ka lung thimma ei seipeh ho bou ka sei doh ding ahi bouve” ati.

And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?

13 Hichun Balak Lengpan Balaam chu mun chomma akou kit in. Hilai’a khu nang in mi dang chi dang Israel nam chom khat aum in, amavang abonchauvin kati poi hiche a um ho beh khu nei gao sap peh in kati.

And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.

14 Balak chu Zophim kiti damchup aum Pisgah molchunga apui touvin Balaam in maicham phung-sagi a tung doh in hiche maicham phol chunga bongnou chal chuleh kelngoi khat chu akat doh tan ahi.

And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on [every] altar.

15 Balaam in jong Balak lengpa komma aseitan, nangma hikomma ana um ta din phat chomkhat keima kaga potdoh ding Pathen in ipi ei houlimpi ding ham keima Pathen toh kihou lim’a pot doh ding ka hi.

And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet [the Lord] yonder.

16 Chule Pakaiyin akimupin aki houlimpi tan, hichun Pathen in Balak komma che in lang hi tin ki houlimpi in a thuhet ho chu hetsah tan, ati.

And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.

17 Balaam chu akinung le phat in Balak lampi ahin Moab mite hochu toh maicham phol muna chun thanom tah le ngahlal tah in ana um un ahi. Balak in a dongtan Pathen in epi nasei peh hitam tin a dong tan ahi.

And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?

18 Balaam in hiche thuchih ho a sei dohtan, Zippor chapa Balak ka thusei hohi ngai tem in, Ki thoudoh tan, ati.

And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:

19 Pakai hi mihem ahilou jeh in jou asei poi, Pathen hi mihem ahi loujeh in lunggel akhel ngai poi, Pakai-Pathen nin ana phondoh ana sei doh aboltan atoh lou um kha tam? Pathen in ana kitepna atoh doh louna suhbulhit louna um kha tam? tin aseiye.

God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

20 Ngaijun keiman Pathen holna ding in thupeh kamui, Pakai-Pathen in phatthei aboh sa chu koiman akham thei poi, ka nung lah doh thei poi, ati.

Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

21 Ama tohgon na a Jacob din manthah na imacha aum poi Israelte din lhaset na toh phalou imacha aum poi Pakaiyin ei umpi jing uvin Isreal a ana ki phut det ihi tauve.

He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God [is] with him, and the shout of a king [is] among them.

22 Eygpt a konna Pakaiyin ahin pui doh u ahi tai Israelte ding a Pakai chu bongchal hang sen tah ahiye.

God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.

23 Sapset na in Jacob a sukhah lou beh ding, Isreal chung nga hile gam thahat kitah lang ding hi jong le, tuapat Jacob henga patna hiti a ka sei ding Pathen in Israel te din hitabang loupina abol ahi tai, ati.

Surely [there is] no enchantment against Jacob, neither [is there] any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

24 Veuvin mipi hochu keipi bang in ading doh un chule keipi bahkai bangtah in a ding doh tai, anneh ding an chah aval lhum masang nga kum lha lou ahi sa kitah thisan adon kahse a ding ahi, ati.

Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat [of] the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.

25 Hichun Balak lengpa chun Balaam henga asei tan aphai amahohi nagaosap lou ding ahitah leh phatthei jong boh dajeng tan, atileh;

And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

26 Ahin Balaam in Balak chu ahoulim pitan kana phondoh bangtah in Pakaiyin a phondoh hochu ka bol ding ka toh ding ahi kana ti ahi ajeh chu Balaam in thuphon dohna chu thumvei anei ahi.

But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?

27 Chu in Balak in Balaam chu ahou lim pitan, lungset tah in neihin jui tan keiman nangma hi munchom’a kapui ding akhatna Pathen lunglam ahung hi thei leh Israel mite chu keima a ding a nei gaosap peh thei ahi.

And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.

28 Balak in Balaam chu Peor molchung sang lam ah apui tou tan gam ong tamtah ahung kisuh vet na munah chun apuijin ahi.

And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.

29 Balak in Balaam chu ahou lim pitan hikom ahin maicham phung sagi nei sempeh in chule bongnou chal sagi chule kelngoi achal sagi maicham kintheng adin nei gonpeh in, ati.

And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

30 Hichun Balak in Balaam dei dol tah le asei dung jui jin bongnou chal sagi maicham phol chunga akoi in chule kelngoi chal sagi umna maicham phol chunga ajam lhatan, ahi.

And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on [every] altar.
