Numbers 23
1 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
I reèe Valam Valaku: naèini mi ovdje sedam oltara, i pripravi mi ovdje sedam telaca i sedam ovnova.
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on [every] altar a bullock and a ram.
I uèini Valak kako mu reèe Valam; i prinese Valak s Valamom na svakom oltaru po jedno tele i ovna.
3 And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go: it may be the LORD will come to meet me: and whatever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to a high place.
Pa reèe Valam Valaku: stoj kod svoje žrtve paljenice; a ja idem eda bih se sreo s Gospodom, pa što mi javi kazaæu ti. I on otide sam.
4 And God met Balaam: and he said to him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon [every] altar a bullock and a ram.
I srete Bog Valama, a on mu reèe: sedam oltara spremih, i prinesoh po tele i ovna na svakom oltaru.
5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
A Gospod metnu rijeèi u usta Valamu, i reèe: vrati se k Valaku i tako mu reci.
6 And he returned to him and lo, he stood by his burnt-sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
I vrati se k njemu, a on stajaše kod žrtve svoje paljenice i svi knezovi Moavski.
7 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 Jacob for me, and come, defy Israel.
A on otvori prièu svoju, i reèe: iz Arama dovede me Valak car Moavski s planine istoène, govoreæi: hodi, prokuni mi Jakova, hodi, naruži Izrailja.
8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, [whom] the LORD hath not defied?
Kako bih kleo onoga koga ne kune Bog? ili kako bih ružio onoga koga Gospod ne ruži?
9 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.
Jer svrh stijena vidim ga, i s humova gledam ga. Gle, ovaj æe narod nastavati sam, i s drugim narodima neæe se pomiješati.
10 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!
Ko æe izbrojiti prah Jakovljev i broj od èetvrti Izrailja? Da bih ja umro smræu pravednièkom, i kraj moj da bi bio kao njihov!
11 And Balak said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I took thee to curse my enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed [them] altogether.
Tada reèe Valak Valamu: šta to radiš od mene? Ja te dozvah da prokuneš neprijatelje moje, a gle, ti blagosiljaš jednako.
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
A on odgovori i reèe: zar neæu paziti i govoriti ono što mi je Gospod metnuo u usta?
13 And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and from thence curse them for me.
Tada mu reèe Valak: hodi sa mnom na drugo mjesto, odakle æeš ga vidjeti; samo mu kraj vidiš, a svega ga ne vidiš; prokuni mi ga odande.
14 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.
I dovede ga u polje Zofim, navrh Fazge, i naèini sedam oltara, i prinese na svakom oltaru po jedno tele i ovna.
15 And he said to Balak, Stand here by thy burnt-offering, while I meet [the LORD] yonder.
Tada Valam reèe Valaku: stoj tu kod žrtve svoje paljenice, a ja idem onamo na susret Gospodu.
16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again to Balak, and say thus.
I srete Gospod Valama, i metnu mu rijeè u usta, i reèe: vrati se k Valaku, i tako govori.
17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, What hath the LORD spoken?
I doðe k njemu, a on stajaše kod žrtve svoje paljenice i s njim knezovi Moavski; i reèe Valak: šta veli Gospod?
18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise, Balak, and hear; hearken to me, thou son of Zippor:
A on otvori prièu svoju, i reèe: ustani Valaèe, i poslušaj, èuj me sine Seforov!
19 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 spoke, and shall he not make it good?
Bog nije èovjek da laže, ni sin èovjeèji da se pokaje. Što kaže neæe li uèiniti, i što reèe neæe li izvršiti?
20 Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: and he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
Gle, primih da blagoslovim; jer je on blagoslovio, a ja neæu poreæi.
21 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.
Ne gleda na bezakonje u Jakovu ni na nevaljalstvo u Izrailju; Gospod je njegov s njim, i graja u njemu kao car kad nadvlada.
22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn.
Bog ga je izveo iz Misira, on mu je kao snaga jednorogova.
23 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!
Jer nema èini na Jakova ni vraèanja na Izrailja; u ovo doba govoriæe se o Jakovu i o Izrailju, što je uèinio Bog.
24 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 shall eat [of] the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
Evo, narod æe ustati kao silan lav, i kao laviæ skoèiæe; neæe leæi dokle ne pojede lova i popije krvi pobijenijeh.
25 And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
Tada reèe Valak Valamu: nemoj ga ni kleti ni blagosiljati.
26 But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
A Valam odgovori Valaku: nijesam li ti kazao da æu èiniti što mi god Gospod kaže?
27 And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee to another place; perhaps it will please God that thou mayest from thence curse them for me.
A Valak reèe Valamu: hodi, odvešæu te na drugo mjesto; da ako Bogu bude volja da mi ga odande prokuneš.
28 And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, that looketh towards Jeshimon.
I odvede Valak Valama navrh Fegora, koji gleda u pustinju.
29 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
I reèe Valam Valaku: naèini mi ovdje sedam oltara, i pripravi mi ovdje sedam telaca i sedam ovnova.
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on [every] altar.
I uèini Valak kako reèe Valam i prinese žrtvu po tele i ovna na svakom oltaru.
