Oekyuk 24

1 In pacl se inge, Balaam el etu tari lah LEUM GOD El lungse elan akinsewowoye mwet Israel, ke ma inge el tia enenu in sukok kasru ke susfa, oana el muta oru meet ah. El ngetla nu yen mwesis

When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD 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 ac liye mwet Israel lah elos mutangan aktuktuk ke kais sie sruf lalos. Ngun lun God tuku ke ku nu facl,

Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Ruach of God came on him.

3 na el fahk kas in palu inge: “Kas inge ma sel Balaam wen natul Beor, Kas lun sie mwet su ku in liye arulana kalem,

He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;

4 Su ku in lohng ma God El fahk uh. Mutuk ngetnget na ac oana ngan liye Sie aruruma sin God Kulana.

he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of Shaddai, falling down, and having his eyes open:

5 Lohm nuknuk sin mwet Israel uh arulana kato,

How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your tents, Israel.

6 Oana tak na loeloes ke sak palm, Ku ima puspis ma oan sisken soko infacl, Oana sak aloes ma LEUM GOD El yukwiya, Ku sak cedar sisken kof uh.

As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which the LORD has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.

7 Ac fah arulana yohk af nu faclos Ac elos ac yukwiya fita sunalos ke fohk ma aksroksrokyeyuk. Tokosra lalos ac fah fulat lukel Agag, Ac tokosrai lal ac fah fahsrelik nu yen loessula.

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 God El usalosme liki acn Egypt; El mweun kaclos oana soko cow mukul lemnak. Elos kontonauk mwet lokoalok lalos, Itungya srelos, ac kotkoteya sukan pisr natulos.

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 Mutunfacl se inge oana soko lion kulana; Ke el motul, wangin sie mwet ac pulaik in oaksalak. Kutena mwet su akinsewowoye Israel ac fah akinsewowoyeyuk. Ac kutena mwet su selngawel Israel ac fah selngawiyuk.”

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 Tokosra Balak el isani paol ke kasrkusrak ac fahk nu sel Balaam, “Nga tuh pangonkomme kom in selngawi mwet lokoalok luk, a pacl tolula kom akinsewowoyalos ac tiana selngawelos.

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 Tari, folokot nu yen sum an! Nga tuh wulela mu nga ac moli yohk nu sum, tuh pa LEUM GOD El kosrala kom in tia eis mwe moul nu sum uh.”

Therefore now flee you to your place. I thought to promote you to great honor; but, look, the LORD has kept you back from honor."

12 Balaam el topuk, “Nga tuh fahkang nu sin mwet kom supwama ah mu

Balaam said to Balak, "Did I not also tell your messengers who you sent to me, saying,

13 kom finne ase nufon silver ac gold inkul fulat sum an luk, nga ac tia ku in seakos ma sap lun LEUM GOD nu sik ac sifacna oru kutena ma. Nga ac fahk na ma LEUM GOD El sap ngan fahk mukena.”

'If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of the LORD, to do either good or bad in my heart. I will say what God says'?

14 Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Inge nga ac folokla nu yurin mwet luk uh, tusruktu meet liki nga som, nga ac fahkot ma mwet Israel uh ac mau oru nu sin mwet lom ke pacl fahsru uh.”

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 Na el fahk kas in palu inge: “Kas inge ma sel Balaam wen natul Beor, Kas lun sie mwet su ku in liye arulana kalem,

He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;

16 Su ku in lohng ma God El fahk uh Ac eis etauk su tuku sin El su Fulatlana. Mutuk ngetnget na ac nga liye Sie aruruma sin God Kulana.

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 Ke nga ngetla liye pacl fahsru, Nga liye mutunfacl Israel. Sie tokosra ac fah sikyak in facl sac, oana sie itu, Sie tokosra ku ac fah tuku liki facl Israel. El fah sringilya mwet kol lun acn Moab Ac kunausla mwet Seth nukewa.

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 El fah kutangla mwet lokoalok lal in acn Edom. Ac eisla acn lalos uh tuh in ma lal. Ke pacl se inge, Israel ac nuna kutangla acn puspis saya.

Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemies, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.

19 Mutunfacl Israel fah fotongolosi nu infohk uh Ac sukela mwet nukewa ma srakna moul.”

Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city."

20 Na Balaam el liye mwet Amalek, ac el fahk kas in palu inge: “Amalek pa mutunfacl se ma ku liki nukewa, Tusruktu saflaiyal el fah wanginla ma pahtpat.”

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 In aruruma lal el liye pac mwet Ken, ac el fahk kas in palu inge: “Acn se ma kowos muta we oakwuki arulana ku, Oana sie ahng oan yen fulat fin fulu uh.

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 Tusruktu kowos mwet Ken ac fah kunausyukla, Ke mwet Assyria ac fah uskowosla nu in sruoh.”

Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive."

23 Na Balaam el fahk kas in palu inge: “Su mwet ma fahsreni in acn epang inge?

He took up his parable, and said, "Alas, who shall live when God does this?

24 Mwet mweun ac fah kal tuku Cyprus me; Elos ac kutangla acn Assyria ac acn Eber Tusruktu, elos sifacna ac fah wanginla ma pahtpat.”

But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction."

25 Na Balaam el mukuiyak ac folokla nu yen sel, ac Balak el oayapa som nu yen sel.

Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
