Numbers 24

1 When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to blesse Israel, then he went not, as certaine times before, to set diuinations, but set his face toward the wildernesse.

И видев Валаам, яко добро есть пред Господем благословляти Израиля, не иде по обычаю своему в сретение волхвованием, и возврати лице свое в пустыню.

2 And Balaam lift vp his eyes, and looked vpon Israel, which dwelt according to their tribes, and the Spirit of God came vpon him.

И возвед Валаам очи свои, узре Израиля ополчившася по племеном: и бысть Дух Божий на нем.

3 And he vttered his parable, and sayd, Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, and the man, whose eyes were shut vp, hath sayd,

И восприим притчу свою рече: глаголет Валаам, сын Веоров, глаголет человек истинно зряй,

4 He hath sayde, which heard the wordes of God, and sawe the vision of the Almightie, and falling in a traunce had his eyes opened:

глаголет слушаяй словеса Крепкаго, иже видение Божие виде во сне: отверсты очи его:

5 How goodly are thy tentes, O Iaakob, and thine habitations, O Israel!

коль добри доми твои, Иакове, и кущы твоя, Израилю:

6 As the valleis, are they stretched forth, as gardes by the riuers side, as the aloe trees, which the Lord hath planted, as the cedars beside the waters.

яко дубравы осеняющыя и яко садие при реках, и яко кущы, яже водрузи Господь, и яко кедри при водах:

7 The water droppeth out of his bucket, and his seede shalbe in many waters, and his king shall be hier then Agag, and his kingdome shall bee exalted.

изыдет человек от семене его, и обладает языки многими: и возвысится паче Гога царство его, и возрастет царство его:

8 God brought him out of Egypt: his strength shalbe as an vnicorne: he shall eate the nations his enemies, and bruise their bones, and shoote them through with his arrowes.

Бог изведе его из Египта, якоже слава единорога ему: пояст языки враг своих и толщы их измождит, и стрелами своими устрелит врага:

9 He coucheth and lieth downe as a yong lion, and as a lion: who shall stirre him vp? blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.

возлег почи яко лев и яко скимен: кто возбудит его? Благословящии тя благословени, и проклинающии тя прокляти.

10 Then Balak was very angry with Balaam, and smote his handes together: so Balak sayde vnto Balaam, I sent for thee to curse mine enemies, and beholde, thou hast blessed them nowe three times.

И разгневася Валак на Валаама, и плесну руками своими, и рече Валак к Валааму: кляти тя врага моего призвах, и се, благословил еси их в третие:

11 Therefore nowe flee vnto thy place: I thought surely to promote thee vnto honour, but loe, the Lord hath kept thee backe from honour.

ныне убо бежи на место свое: рекох, почту тя: и ныне лиши тя Господь славы.

12 Then Balaam answered Balak, Tolde I not also thy messengers, which thou sentest vnto me, saying,

И рече Валаам к Валаку: и послом твоим, ихже послал еси ко мне, не рекох ли, глаголя:

13 If Balak would giue me his house ful of siluer and gold, I can not passe the commandement of the Lord, to doe either good or bad of mine owne minde? what the Lord shall commaund, the same will I speake.

аще ми даст Валак храмину свою полну сребра и злата, не могу преступити слова Божия, еже сотворити е зло или добро от мене самаго: елика аще речет ми Бог, сия возглаголю?

14 And nowe behold, I goe vnto my people: come, I will aduertise thee what this people shall doe to thy folke in the later dayes.

И ныне, се, иду до места своего: гряди, присоветую тебе, что сотворят людие сии людем твоим, в последняя дни.

15 And he vttered his parable, and sayd, Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, and the man whose eyes were shut vp, hath sayd,

И восприим притчу свою рече: глаголет Валаам сын Веоров, глаголет человек истинно зряй,

16 He hath said that heard the words of God, and hath the knowledge of the most High, and sawe the vision of the Almightie, and falling in a traunce had his eyes opened:

слышай словеса Божия, умея умение Вышняго и видение Божие видевый во сне: отверсты очи его:

17 I shall see him, but not nowe: I shall behold him, but not neere: there shall come a starre of Iaakob, and a scepter shall rise of Israel, and shall smite the coastes of Moab, and destroy all the sonnes of Sheth.

покажу ему, и не ныне: ублажаю, и не приближается: возсияет звезда от Иакова, и востанет человек от Израиля и погубит князи Моавитския, и пленит вся сыны Сифовы:

18 And Edom shalbe possessed, and Seir shall be a possession to their enemies: but Israel shall do valiantly.

и будет Едом наследие, и будет наследие Исав враг его, и Израиль сотвори крепость:

19 He also that shall haue dominion shall bee of Iaakob, and shall destroy the remnant of the citie.

и востанет от Иакова, и погубит спасаемаго от града.

20 And when he looked on Amalek, he vttered his parable, and sayd, Amalek was the first of the nations: but his latter ende shall come to destruction.

И видев Амалика и восприим притчу свою, рече: начало языков Амалик, и семя их погибнет.

21 And he looked on the Kenites, and vttered his parable, and sayde, Strong is thy dwelling place, and put thy nest in the rocke.

И видев Кенеона и восприим притчу свою, рече: сильно селение твое: и аще положиши на камени гнездо твое,

22 Neuerthelesse, the Kenite shalbe spoyled vntill Asshur cary thee away captiue.

и аще будет Веору гнездо коварства, Ассириане пленят тя.

23 Againe he vttered his parable, and sayd, Alas, who shall liue when God doeth this?

И видев Ога и восприим притчу свою, рече: горе, горе, кто жив будет, егда положит Бог сия?

24 The ships also shall come from the coastes of Chittim, and subdue Asshur, and shall subdue Eber, and he also shall come to destruction.

И изыдут из рук Китиейских, и озлобят Ассура, и озлобят Евреов, и сами вкупе погибнут.

25 Then Balaam rose vp, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.

И востав Валаам отиде, возвратився на место свое: и Валак отиде к себе.
