Numbers 24
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased Jehovah to bless Israel, he did not go, as at the other times, to meet with omens, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
Israel yoethen paek te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah hoeikhang tila Balaam loh a hmuh dongah lung te doe ham voei vai khaw cet pawh. Te dongah a maelhmai te khosoek la a khueh.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes, and the Spirit of God came upon him.
Balaam loh a mik a huel vaengah Israel te amah koca la kho a sak tih Pathen Mueihla a soah a om te a hmuh.
3 And he took up his oracle, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, and the man whose eye was closed says,
Te vaengah a thuidoeknah te a poh tih Beor capa Balaam olphong neh mikdai aka then hlang kah olphong te a thui.
4 he says who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open,
Pathen ol aka ya kah olphong tah Tlungthang mikhlam aka tla te a hmuh tih a mik a dai.
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, thy tabernacles, O Israel!
Jakob nang kah dap neh Israel nang kah dungtlungim tah metlam a hoeikhang.
6 As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the river-side, as aloes which Jehovah has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.
Soklong bangla langdai, tuiva kah dum bangla, BOEIPA kah a phung thingul bangla, tui taengkah lamphai bangla,
7 Water shall flow from his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
A tuiduen lamloh tui sih tih a tiingan khaw tui yet dongah om. A manghai Agag lakah a pomsang vetih a ram a phueih ni.
8 God brings him forth out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox. He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, and shall break their bones in pieces, and smite them through with his arrows.
Pathen loh anih te Egypt lamloh amah taengah cung ki bangla a loh. A rhal namtom te a ngaeh coeng dongah a rhuh te a cilh vetih a thaltang neh a phop ni.
9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a lioness. Who shall rouse him up? He who blesses thee is blessed, And he who curses thee is cursed.
Sathueng neh sathuengnu bangla koisu tih yalh phoeiah tah anih aka haeng te unim? Nang loh yoethen na paek te a yoethen tih nang loh thae na phoei khaw thaephoei a yook.
10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. And Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse my enemies, and, behold, thou have altogether blessed them these three times.
Te vaengah Balak kah thintoek te Balaam taengah sai tih a kut te a paeng. Balak loh Balaam te, “Ka thunkha rhoek te tap ham ni nang kang khue dae he rhoek kah yoethen la voei thum yoethen na paek coeng he.
11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place. I thought to promote thee to great honor, but, lo, Jehovah has kept thee back from honor.
Te dongah namah hmuen la nang te yong laeh. Nang te kan thangpom rhoe kan thangpom eh ka ti coeng dae BOEIPA loh nang te thangpomnah lamkah n'hloh coeng ne,” a ti nah.
12 And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not also speak to thy messengers that thou sent to me, saying,
Te dongah Balaam loh Balak te, “Kai taengla na puencawn nan tueih taengah khaw ka thui moenih a?
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Jehovah, to do either good or bad of my own mind. What Jehovah speaks, that I will speak?
Kai he Balak loh cak neh sui a im kah a bae la m'pae cakhaw BOEIPA olka te poe hamla ka coeng moenih. Then cakhaw thae cakhaw ngai ham om. Ka lungbuei lamlong pataeng BOEIPA kah a thui te ni ka thui eh ka ti.
14 And now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will advise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
Kai tah ka pilnam taengla ka cet pawn ni he. Halo lamtah hmailong tue ah he pilnam loh na pilnam soah a saii ham te nang kang uen eh,” a ti nah.
15 And he took up his oracle, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, and the man whose eye was closed says,
Te phoeiah a thuidoeknah a dangrhoek tih Beor capa Balaam kah olphong neh mik aka dai hlang kah olphong te a thui.
16 he says who hears the words of God, and knows the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
“Pathen kah olthui aka ya tih Khohni mingnah aka ming, tlungthang mikhlam aka hmu tih a bakop doela mik aka dai kah olphong loh,
17 I see him, but not now. I behold him, but not near. There shall come forth a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of tumult.
Amah te ka hmuh dae tahae ah moenih, amah te ka mae dae yoei pawh. Jakob lamkah aisi thoeng vetih Israel lamloh mancai thoo ni. Moab baengki a phop pah vetih Seth koca te boeih a phuet ni.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession, who were his enemies, while Israel does valiantly.
Edom kah a pang om vetih a thunkha Seir kah a pang om cakhaw Israel loh thadueng neh a saii ni.
19 And out of Jacob shall come he who shall have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.
Jakob lamloh a taemrhai vetih khopuei kah rhaengnaeng te a milh sak ni.
20 And he looked on Amalek, and took up his oracle, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, but his latter end shall come to destruction.
Amalek te a hmuh vaengah a thuidoeknah a poh tih, ‘Amalek tah namtom kah a tongnah la om dae a hmailong tah pocinah la om’.
21 And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his oracle, and said, Strong is thy dwelling-place, and thy nest is set in the rock.
Keni te a hmuh vaengah a thuidoeknah te a poh tih, ‘Na ngolhmuen khangmai tih thaelpang soah bu na khueh.’
22 Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
Tedae hatah Assyria loh nang n'sol duela Kain te hlup hamla om bitni,” a ti nah.
23 And he took up his oracle, and said, Alas, who shall live when God does this?
A thuidoeknah a poh tih, “Anunae Pathen loh te a saii vaengah unim aka hing ve?
24 But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim, and they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall come to destruction.
Kittim lihmoi lamkah timbaw rhoek neh Assyria khaw phaep uh ni. Eber khaw a phaep uh ni. Tedae amah khaw pocinah ham ni,” a ti nah.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.
Te phoeiah Balaam te thoo tih aka cet te amah hmuen la mael. Te dongah Balak khaw amah longpuei la cet.
