Numbers 23
1 And Balaam said unto 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.
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 unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go; peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to a bare height.
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 unto him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
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 unto 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 unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt offering, 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, From Aram hath Balak brought me, The king of Moab from the mountains of the East: Come, curse me Jacob, 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? And 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, it is a people that 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, Or number 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 unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine 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 putteth 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 unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
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 took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up 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 unto 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, Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.
I srete Gospod Valama, i metnu mu rijeè u usta, i reèe: vrati se k Valaku, i tako govori.
17 And he came to him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto 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 up, Balak, and hear; Hearken unto 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 spoken, 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 bringeth them forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox.
Bog ga je izveo iz Misira, on mu je kao snaga jednorogova.
23 Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob, Neither is there any divination with Israel: Now shall it 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 riseth up as a lioness, And as a lion doth he lift himself up: He shall not lie down until he 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 unto 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 unto Balak, Told not I 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 unto Balaam, Come now, I will take thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.
A Valak reèe Valamu: hodi, odvešæu te na drugo mjesto; da ako Bogu bude volja da mi ga odande prokuneš.
28 And Balak took Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh down upon the desert.
I odvede Valak Valama navrh Fegora, koji gleda u pustinju.
29 And Balaam said unto 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 up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
I uèini Valak kako reèe Valam i prinese žrtvu po tele i ovna na svakom oltaru.
