Numbers 23
1 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
Kinuna ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Mangibangonka iti pito nga altar ditoy para kaniak ken mangisaganaka iti pito a toro a baka ken pito a kalakian a karnero.”
2 And Balak did as Balaam had said; and Balak and Balaam offered up a bullock and a ram on [each] altar.
Inaramid ngarud ni Balak kas kiniddaw ni Balaam. Ket nangidatonda a dua iti maysa a baka ken maysa a karnero iti rabaw ti tunggal altar.
3 And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go; perhaps Jehovah will come to meet me; and whatever he shews me I will tell thee. And he went to a hill.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Agtakderka iti abay ti datonmo a maipuor ta mapanakon. Nalabit nga umaynak saraken ni Yahweh. Ibagakto kenka ti aniaman nga ipakitana kaniak.” Isu a napan isuna iti tuktok ti turod nga awan iti kakaykayona.
4 And God met Balaam; and [Balaam] said to him, I have disposed seven altars, and have offered up a bullock and a ram upon [each] altar.
Immay ti Dios kenkuana, ket kinuna ni Balaam iti Dios, “Nangbangonak iti pito nga altar, ket nangidatonak iti maysa a baka ken maysa a karnero iti tunggal maysa kadagitoy.”
5 And Jehovah put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
Nangikabil ni Yahweh iti mensahe iti ngiwat ni Balaam ket kinunana, “Agsublika kenni Balak ket kasaritam isuna.”
6 And he returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
Nagsubli ngarud ni Balaam kenni Balak, a sitatakder iti abay ti datonna a naipuor, ken kaduana dagiti amin a pangulo ti Moab.
7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east: Come, curse me Jacob, and come, denounce Israel!
Ket rinugian ni Balaam nga insao ti padtona ket kinunana, “Inkuyognak ni Balak manipud Aram. Ti ari ti Moab a naggapu kadagiti kabanbantayan iti daya. 'Umayka, ilunodmo ni Jacob para kaniak,' kinunana. 'Umaymo dupraken ti Israel.'
8 How shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I denounce whom Jehovah doth not denounce?
Kasanok nga ilunod dagiti saan nga inlunod ti Dios? Kasanok a supiaten dagiti saan a sinupiat ni Yahweh?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: Lo, [it is] a people that shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
Ta manipud iti tuktok dagiti dadakkel a bato ket makitkitak isuna; manipud kadagiti katurturodan ket matantannawagak isuna. Kitaem, adda dita ti tattao nga agbibiag nga agmaymaysa ket saanda nga ibilang ti bagbagida a kas maysa laeng a gagangay a nasion.
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like his!
Siasino ti makabilang iti tapok ni Jacob wenno ti kakapat a bilang dagiti Israelita? Pumusayak koma a kas iti ipupusay ti nalinteg a tao, ket gibusam ti biagko kas kenkuana!”
11 And Balak said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
Kinuna ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Ania daytoy nga inaramidmo kaniak? Inkuyogka tapno ilunodmo dagiti kabusorko, ngem adtoy, binendisionam ketdi ida.”
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah puts in my mouth?
Simmungbat ni Balaam ket kinunana, “Saan kadi a ti rumbeng nga ibagak ket dagiti laeng ikabil ni Yahweh iti ngiwatko?”
13 And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to another place, from whence thou wilt see them; thou shalt see only the extremity of them and shalt not see them all, and curse me them from thence.
Isu a kinuna ni Balak kenkuana, “Pangngaasim, kumuyogka kaniak iti sabali pay a lugar a pakakitaam kadakuada. Dagiti laeng asideg ti makitam kadakuada, saanmo ida a makita amin. Sadiay, ilunodmo ida para kaniak.”
14 And he took him to the watchmen's field, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on [each] altar.
Isu nga inkuyog ni Balak ni Balaam iti tay-ak ti Zofim nga agturong iti tuktok ti Bantay Pisga, ket nangbangon manen isuna iti pito nga altar. Nangidaton isuna iti maysa a baka ken maysa a karnero iti rabaw ti tunggal altar.
15 And [Balaam] said to Balak, Stand here by thy burnt-offering, and I will go to meet yonder.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Agtakderka ditoy abay ti datonmo a naipuor, bayat ti pannakisarakko kenni Yahweh sadiay.
16 And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
Sinarak ngarud ni Yahweh ni Balaam ket inkabilna ti mensahe iti ngiwatna. Kinunana, “Agsublika kenni Balak ket itedmo ti mensahek kenkuana.”
17 And he came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him; and Balak said to him, What has Jehovah spoken?
Nagsubli ni Balaam kenkuana, ket adtoy, agtaktakder isuna iti abay ti datonna a naipuor ken kaduana dagiti pangulo ti Moab. Ket kinuna ni Balak kenkuana, “Ania ti kinuna ni Yahweh?”
18 Then he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear! hearken unto me, son of Zippor!
Rinugian ni Balaam ti padtona. Kinunana, “Tumakderka Balak, ket dumngegka. Denggennak, sika nga anak a lalaki ni Sefor.
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither a son of man, that he should repent. Shall he say and not do? and shall he speak and not make it good?
Saan a tao ti Dios tapno agulbod isuna. Wenno maysa a tao, tapno baliwanna ti kapanunotanna. Adda kadi inkarina a saanna a tinungpal? Adda kadi imbagana nga aramidenna a saanna a tinungpal?
20 Behold, I have received [mission] to bless; and he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
Adtoy, nabilinak a mangbendision. Nangbendision ti Dios, ket saankon a mabaliwan daytoy.
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen wrong in Israel; Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of a king is in his midst.
Awan ti nakitana a pakarigatan kenni Jacob wenno pakariribukan idiay Israel. Adda kadakuada ni Yahweh a Diosda, ket ipukpukawda gapu ta adda kadakuada ti arida.
22 God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo.
Impanaw ida ti Dios manipud iti Egipto nga addaan pigsa a kas iti atap a baka.
23 For there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel. At this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
Awan gamud nga agballigi kenni Jacob, ken awan mammadto a mangdangran iti Israel. Kastoy ketdi ti maibaga kenni Jacob ken iti Israel, 'Kitaem ti inaramid ti Dios!'
24 Lo, the people will rise up as a lioness, and lift himself up as a lion. He shall not lie down until he have eaten the prey and drunk the blood of the slain.
Adtoy, tumaktakder dagiti tattao a kas iti kabaian a leon, kas iti leon a kellaat nga agparang ket dumarup. Saan nga agidda agingga a makanna ti kinemmegna ken agingga a masepsepna ti dara ti napatayna.”
25 And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
Ket kinuna ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Saanmo ida nga ilunod wenno bendisionan ni kaanoman.”
26 And Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell thee, saying, All that Jehovah shall speak, that will I do?
Ngem simmungbat ni Balaam ket kinunana kenni Balak,” Saan kadi nga imbagak kenka a masapul nga ibagak ti amin nga ibagbaga ni Yahweh kaniak?
27 And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee to another place; perhaps it will be right in the sight of God that thou curse me them from thence.
Ket insungbat ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Umaykan ta ikuyogka iti sabali pay a lugar. Nalabit a maay-ayonto ti Dios nga ilunodmo ida sadiay para kaniak.”
28 And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, which looks over the surface of the waste.
Inkuyog ngarud ni Balak ni Balaam iti tuktok ti Bantay Peor, a pakatantannawagan iti let-ang.
29 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
Kinuna ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Ibangonannak iti pito nga altar ditoy ket isaganam ti pito a baka ken pito a karnero.”
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on each altar.
Inaramid ngarud ni Balak ti imbaga ni Balaam; nangidaton isuna iti maysa a baka ken maysa a karnero iti rabaw ti tunggal altar.
