Numero 24
1 Idi nakita ni Balaam a naay-ayo ni Yaweh a mangbendision iti Israel, saanen a napan isuna a mangaramat iti pananggamod, a kas iti dadduma a tiempo. Kimmita ketdi isuna iti let-ang.
When Balaam saw that it pleased YHWH to bless Israel, he did not go, as at the other times, to meet with omens, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2 Inngatona ti panagkitana ket nakitana dagiti nagkampo nga Israelita tunggal maysa iti bukodda a tribu, ket immay kenkuana ti Espiritu ti Dios.
Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
3 Naawatna daytoy a padto ket kinunana, “Ni Balaam nga anak ni Beor ket agsao, ti tao a simumulagat.
He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;
4 Agsasao isuna ken dengdenggenna dagiti sasao ti Dios. Adda makitkitana a parmata manipud iti Mannakabalin-amin a pagrukbabanna kabayatan a simumulagat.
he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of Shaddai, falling down, and having his eyes open:
5 Anian a nagpintas dagiti toldam, Jacob, ti lugar a pagnaedam, Israel!
How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your tents, Israel.
6 Kasla dagiti tantanap a nagwaras, kasla iti minuyongan iti igid ti karayan, kasla al-aloe nga immula ni Yahweh, kasla sedsedro iti igid ti kadandanuman.
As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which YHWH has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.
7 Agluppiasto ti danum kadagiti timbada ken nasibugan a nasayaat ti bukelda. Nangatngatonto ti arida ngem ni Agag, ken mapadayawanto ti pagarianda.
Water shall flow from his buckets. His seed shall be in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag. His kingdom shall be exalted.
8 Iruar isuna ti Dios manipud Egipto. Addaan isuna iti pigsa a kasla atap a baka. Alun-onenna dagiti nasion a mangrangranget kenkuana. Tuktukolenna dagiti tultulangda. Panaenna ida.
God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows.
9 Kumleb isuna a kasla leon, kasla iti kabaian a leon. Siasino ti makaitured a mangsinga kenkuana? Mabendisionan koma amin a mangbendision kenkuana; mailunod koma amin a mangilunod kenkuana.”
He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. Everyone who curses you is cursed."
10 Narubroban ti unget ni Balak maibusor kenni Balaam, ket nangmesmes isuna iti ungetna. Kinuna ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Inayabanka tapno ilunodmo dagiti kabusorko, ngem adtoy, binendisionam ida iti namitlo.
Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, and, look, you have altogether blessed them these three times.
11 Isu a panawannakon ita ket agawidkan. Kinunak gunggonaanka iti dakkel, ngem saan nga impalubos ni Yahweh a makaalaka iti aniaman a gunggona.”
Therefore now flee you to your place. I thought to promote you to great honor; but, look, YHWH has kept you back from honor."
12 Ket simmungbat ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Imbagak kadagiti mensahero nga imbaonmo kaniak,
Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not also tell your messengers who you sent to me, saying,
13 'Uray no inted kaniak ni Balak ti palasiona a napno iti pirak ken balitok, saanko a mabalin nga un-unaan ti sao ni Yahweh ken aniaman a dakes wenno naimbag, wenno aniaman a kayatko nga aramiden. Ti laeng ibagak ket ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh nga ibagak.' Saan kadi nga imbagak daytoy kadakuada?
'If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of YHWH, to do either good or bad in my heart. I will say what God says'?
14 Isu nga ita, adtoy, agsubliak kadagiti tattaok. Ngem ballaaganka nga umuna maipapan iti aramiden dagitoy a tattao kadagiti tattaom kadagiti masungad nga al-aldaw.”
Now, look, I go to my people: come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days."
15 Rinugian ni Balaam daytoy a padto. Kinunana, “Agsasao ni Balaam nga anak ni Beor, ti tao a nakamulagat dagiti matana.
He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;
16 Daytoy ket padto ti maysa a tao a dumdumngeg kadagiti sasao manipud iti Dios, nga addaan pannakaammo manipud iti Kangangatoan, nga addaan kadagiti parmata manipud iti Mannakabalin-amin, nakapakleb a nakamulagat isuna iti sangoananna.
he says, who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and who sees the vision of Shaddai, falling down, and having his eyes open:
17 Makitkitak isuna, ngem awan isuna ditoy ita. Makitkitak isuna, ngem awan isuna iti asideg. Tumaudto ti bituen manipud kenni Jacob, ken addanto setro a rumuar manipud iti Israel. Burakennanto dagiti mangidadaulo iti Moab ken dadaelennanto dagiti amin a kaputotan ni Set.
I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and will crush the forehead of Moab, and the crown of all the sons of tumult.
18 Ket kukuanton ti Israel ti Edom, ken kukuadanto pay ti Seir, dagiti kabusor ti Israel a parmekento ti Israel babaen iti puersa.
Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemies, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.
19 Agtaudto kenni Jacob ti maysa nga ari a mangituray ken dadaelennanto dagiti amin a nabati a sibibiag iti siudadda.”
Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city."
20 Kalpasanna, kimmita ni Balaam iti Amalec ket rinugianna ti padtona. Kinunana, “Ti Amalec idi ti maysa a kabibilgan kadagiti nasion ngem ti kamaudiananna ket pannakadadael.”
He looked at Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, "Amalek was the first of the nations, But his latter end shall come to destruction."
21 Kalpasanna, kimmita ni Balaam kadagiti Kineo, ket rinugianna ti padtona. Kinunana, “Natibker ti lugar a pagnanaedanyo, ken adda kadagiti dadakkel a batbato ti umokyo.
He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, "Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.
22 Nupay kasta, madadael ti Kineo, inton italawdakayo a kas balud dagiti Asirio.
Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive."
23 Ket rinugian ni Balaam ti maudi a padtona. Kinunana, “Asi kay pay! Siasino ti makalasat inton aramiden ti Dios daytoy?
He took up his parable, and said, "Alas, who shall live when God does this?
24 Umayto dagiti daong manipud iti baybay Kittim; rautendanto ti Asiria ken maparmekto ti Eber, ngem uray isuda ket aggibusdanto iti pannakadadael.”
But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction."
25 Kalpasanna, timmakder ni Balaam ket pimmanaw. Nagsubli isuna iti pagtaenganna, ken pimmanaw met ni Balak.
Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
