1 Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Etoak itkosr loang an luk inse inge, ac use itkosr cow mukul ac itkosr sheep mukul.”
Balaam said to Balak, “Build here seven altars for me, and prepare here seven bulls and seven rams for me.”
2 Balak el oru oana ma fwack nu sel, na el ac Balaam kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang inge.
Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.
3 Na Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Tu ke kisa firir lom inge soaneyu ngan fahla ac liye lah LEUM GOD El ac osun nu sik ku tia. Nga ac fah fahk nu sum ma nukewa ma El ac akkalemye nu sik.” Ouinge el mukena utyak nu fin inging uh,
Balaam said to Balak, “Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps the LORD will come to meet me. Whatever he shows me I will tell you.” He went to a bare height.
4 ac God El osun nu sel. Balaam el fahk nu sel, “Nga etoak tari loang itkosr, ac kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang.”
God met Balaam, and he said to him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.”
5 LEUM GOD El fahkang nu sel Balaam ma elan fahk, ac folokunulla nu yorol Balak.
The LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”
6 Ouinge el folokla ac liye lah Balak el srakna tu sisken mwe kisa firir lal wi mwet kol nukewa lun Moab.
He returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
7 Na Balaam el fahkak kas in palu inge: “Balak, tokosra lun Moab, el usyume Liki acn Syria, liki eol kutulap. El fahk, ‘Fahsru, kaskas keik. Selngawiya mwet Israel.’
He took up his parable, and said, “From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.
8 Nga ac selngawi fuka elos su God El tia selngawi, Ku fahk kas in lusla LEUM GOD El fin tia fahk?
How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy whom the LORD has not defied?
9 Nga ku in tu fin eot fulat uh liyalos; Nga ku in tu fin inging uh intoeinulos. Sie mutunfacl su mukena muta pa elos; Elos etu lah akinsewowoyuk elos yohk liki kutena mutunfacl saya.
For from the top of the rocks I see him. From the hills I see him. Behold, it is a people that dwells alone, and shall not be listed amongst the nations.
10 Fwilin tulik nutin Israel uh pus oana kutkut uh, Arulana pusla, tia ku in oaoala. Lela len safla luk uh in oana len safla un mwet lun God; Ac lela nga in misa oana sie mwet suwoswos.”
Who can count the dust of Jacob, or count the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous! Let my last end be like his!”
11 Na Balak el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Mea se kom oru nu sik inge? Nga uskomme kom in tuh selngawi mwet lokoalok luk, a kom akinsewowoyalos mukena.”
Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.”
12 El topuk, “Ma na LEUM GOD El sap nga in fahk pa nga ku in fahk uh.”
He answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD puts in my mouth?”
13 Na Balak el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Fahsru wiyu nu ke sie pac acn ma kom ku in liye kutu pac sin mwet Israel uh. Na kom fah selngawelos we keik.”
Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.”
14 El usal nu ke ima lun Zophim fin mangon Eol Pisgah. El etoak pac loang itkosr we ac kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang uh.
He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
15 Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Tu sisken mwe kisa firir lom inge soaneyu, ac nga ac som osun nu sin God inse ingo.”
He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”
16 LEUM GOD El sonol Balaam, ac fahkang nu sel ma elan fahk, na el folokunulla nu yorol Balak.
The LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and say this.”
17 Ouinge el folokla ac liye lah Balak el srakna tu sisken mwe kisa firir lal uh, wi mwet kol lun Moab. Balak el siyuk lah mea LEUM GOD El fahk,
He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, “What has the LORD spoken?”
18 ac Balaam el fahkak kas in palu inge: “Balak, wen natul Zippor, fahsru Ac porongo ma nga ac fahk uh.
He took up his parable, and said, “Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, you son of Zippor.
19 God El tia oana mwet uh in kaskas kikiap, Tia mwet se pa El in ikil nunak lal, Kutena ma El wulela kac El ac orala na; El kaskas, ac ma El fahk uh orekla.
God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and he won’t do it? Or has he spoken, and he won’t make it good?
20 Fwackme nu sik mu nga in akinsewowoye, Ac God El fin akinsewowoye, nga tia ku in folokunla.
Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can’t reverse it.
21 Nga akilen mu wangin ma ac akkolukye ku aklokoalokye Moul lun mwet Israel ke pacl fahsru. LEUM GOD lalos El welulos; Elos fahkak kalem lah El pa tokosra lalos.
He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. The LORD his God is with him. The shout of a king is amongst them.
22 God El usalosme liki acn Egypt; El mweun kaclos oana soko cow mukul lemnak.
God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.
23 Wangin susfa ac wangin inutnut Ku in orek lain mutunfacl Israel. Inge mwet uh ac fahk ke Israel, ‘Liyewin ma God El oru!’
Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What has God done!’
24 Mutunfacl Israel el oana soko lion na fokoko; El tia mongla nwe ke el eiya, kangla, Ac numla srah ke ma el uniya uh.”
Behold, a people rises up as a lioness. As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”
25 Na Balak el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Kom finne srunga selngawi mwet Israel, tuh nimet kom akinsewowoyalos!”
Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”
26 Balaam el topuk, “Ya nga tuh tia fahkot nu sum lah ma na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik pa nga ac oru uh?”
But Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that the LORD speaks, that I must do’?”
27 Tokosra Balak el fahk, “Fahsru wiyu, ac nga ac fah uskomla nu ke sie pacna acn. Sahp God El ac lela kom in selngawelos liki acn we nu sik.”
Balak said to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”
28 Ouinge el usalak Balaam nu fin mangon Eol Peor, su el ku in ngeta we lac nu fin acn mwesis.
Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert.
29 Balaam el fahk nu sel, “Etoak itkosr loang an nu sik inge, ac use itkosr cow mukul ac itkosr sheep mukul nu yuruk.”
Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.”
30 Balak el oru oana ke fwack nu sel, ac el kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang.
Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
