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.
A IKE iho la o Balaama, ua lealea o Iehova i ka hoomaikai aku i ka Iseraela, aole ia i hele hou aku e like mamua e imi i na kilokilo ana; aka, haliu ae la ia i kona maka ma ka waonahele.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes, and the Spirit of God came upon him.
Alawa ae la na maka o Balaama iluna, ike ae la i ka Iseraela e hoomoana ana ma ko lakou mau ohana; a kau mai la ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna ona.
3 And he took up his oracle, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, and the man whose eye was closed says,
Hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, O ka wanana a Balaama a ke keiki a Beora, O ka wanana a ke kanaka i hookaakaaia kona mau maka:
4 he says who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open,
Ka wanana a ka mea i lohe i na olelo a ke Akua, A ka mea i ike i ka Mea mana ma ka hihio; E moe ana ilalo, a e kaakaa ana kona mau maka:
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, thy tabernacles, O Israel!
Nani ka maikai o na halelole ou, e Iakoba! O kou mau halelewa hoi, e Iseraela!
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.
E like me na awawa ko lakou palahalaha ana, E like hoi me na mahinaai ma kapa muliwai, Me na laau aloe hoi a Iehova i kanu ai, A me na laau kedera ma kapa o na wai.
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.
E kahe ana ka wai mailoko ae o kona mau bakeke, A ma na wai he nui kona hua kanu; E kiekie ae hoi kona alii maluna o Agaga, A e hookiekieia'e kona aupuni.
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.
Na ke Akua ia i kai mai nei, mai Aigupita mai; Ia ia hoi ka ikaika me he reema la; E ai iho oia i na lahuikanaka i kona poe enemi, A e uhai ia i ko lakou mau iwi, E houia hoi lakou i kana mau pua.
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.
Ua kukuli iho ia, ua moe iho me he lionakane la, A me ka lionawahine; nawai la ia e hoala'e? E pomaikai ka mea hoomaikai ia oe, A e poino ka mea hoino aku ia oe.
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.
Ua hoaia ka inaina o Balaka ia Balaama, a pai pu na lima ona: i mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Ua kii aku no wau ia oe no ka hoino aku i kuu poe enemi; aia hoi, eia ke kolu o kou hoomaikai wale ana aku.
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.
Nolaila, e holo aku oe i kou wahi: i manao iho la au e hoohanohano loa aku ia oe; aka hoi, o Iehova ka i keakea mai ia oe i loaa ole ai ka hanohano.
12 And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not also speak to thy messengers that thou sent to me, saying,
Olelo mai la o Balaama ia Balaka, Aole anei au i olelo aku i ka poe elele au i hoouna at io'u la, i ka i ana aku,
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?
Ina e haawi mai o Balaka i ko kala a me ke gula a piha kona hale, ina aole e hiki ia'u ke hoohala i ka olelo a Iehova, e hana i ka maikai, aole hoi i ka hewa ma kuu manao iho: o ka Iehova e olelo mai ai, oia ka'u e hai aku ai?
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.
Ano hoi, ke hoi aku nei au i ko'u poe kanaka: ea, e hai e aku no au ia oe i ka mea a keia poe kanaka e hana mai ai i kou poe kanaka i na la mahope.
15 And he took up his oracle, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, and the man whose eye was closed says,
Hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, O ka wanana a Balaama ke keiki a Beora, Ka wanana a ke kanaka i hookaakaaia'e kona maka;
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:
Ka wanana a ka mea i lohe i ka olelo a ke Akua, A ka mea ike i ka mea ikea o ka Mea kiekie, A ka mea nana i ka mea ikea o ka Mea mana loa, E moe iho ana, a e kaakaa ana kona mau maka:
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.
E ike auanei au ia ia, aole hoi ano, E nana auanei au ia ia, aole hoi e kokoke: E puka mai auanei he Hoku mai o Iakoba mai, E ku mai ana no hoi he Kookoo mai o Iseraela mai; A e luku aku no ia i na kihi o Moaba, A e pepehi iho ia i na keiki hoohaunaele a pau.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession, who were his enemies, while Israel does valiantly.
E lilo o Edoma i wahi E noho ai, A e lilo o Seira i wahi e noho ai no kona poe enemi: A e hana ikaika no o ka Iseraela.
19 And out of Jacob shall come he who shall have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.
Na Iakoba e puka mai auanei ka mea e alii ana, A e luku iho oia i ke koena o ke kulanakanhale.
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.
Nana aku la hoi oia i ka Ameleka, hai mai la ia i kana olelonane, i mai la, O Ameleka, ke pookela o na lahuikanaka, Aka o kona hope, e make mau loa no oia.
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.
Nana aku la hoi ia i ka Keni, hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i mai la, Ua paa kou wahi i noho ai, Ua kau aku oe i kou punana maluna o ka pohaku:
22 Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
Aka, e laweia'ku ka Keni, ahea la E lawe pio aku o Asuria ia oe?
23 And he took up his oracle, and said, Alas, who shall live when God does this?
Hai aku la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, Auwe! owai la uanei ke ola i ka wa e hana mai ai ke Akua i keia?
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.
Mai kauwahi mai o Kitima mai, na moku, A e hoopilikia lakou i ko Asuria, A e hoopilikia hoi i ka Hebera, A e luku loa ia'ku oia.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.
Ku ae la o Balaama, hele aku la ia, a hoi aku la i kona wahi; a hele aku la hoi o Balaka i kona aoao.
