Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
1Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Etoak itkosr loang an luk inse inge, ac use itkosr cow mukul ac itkosr sheep mukul.”
2So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
2Balak el oru oana ma fwack nu sel, na el ac Balaam kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang inge.
3“Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone,” Balaam said to Balak. “Perhaps the LORD will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you.” So Balaam went off to a barren height,
3Na Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Tu ke kisa firir lom inge soaneyu ngan fahla ac liye lah LEUM GOD El ac osun nu sik ku tia. Nga ac fah fahk nu sum ma nukewa ma El ac akkalemye nu sik.” Ouinge el mukena utyak nu fin inging uh,
4and God met with him. “I have set up seven altars,” Balaam said, “and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.”
4ac God El osun nu sel. Balaam el fahk nu sel, “Nga etoak tari loang itkosr, ac kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang.”
5Then the LORD put a message in Balaam’s mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and give him this message.”
5LEUM GOD El fahkang nu sel Balaam ma elan fahk, ac folokunulla nu yorol Balak.
6So he returned to Balak, who was standing there beside his burnt offering, with all the princes of Moab.
6Ouinge el folokla ac liye lah Balak el srakna tu sisken mwe kisa firir lal wi mwet kol nukewa lun Moab.
7And Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the mountains of the east. ‘Come,’ he said, ‘put a curse on Jacob for me; come and denounce Israel!’
7Na Balaam el fahkak kas in palu inge: “Balak, tokosra lun Moab, el usyume Liki acn Syria, liki eol kutulap. El fahk, ‘Fahsru, kaskas keik. Selngawiya mwet Israel.’
8How can I curse what God has not cursed? How can I denounce what the LORD has not denounced?
8Nga ac selngawi fuka elos su God El tia selngawi, Ku fahk kas in lusla LEUM GOD El fin tia fahk?
9For I see them from atop the rocky cliffs, and I watch them from the hills. Behold, a people dwelling apart, not reckoning themselves among the nations.
9Nga ku in tu fin eot fulat uh liyalos; Nga ku in tu fin inging uh intoeinulos. Sie mutunfacl su mukena muta pa elos; Elos etu lah akinsewowoyuk elos yohk liki kutena mutunfacl saya.
10Who can count the dust of Jacob or number even a fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous; let my end be like theirs!”
10Fwilin tulik nutin Israel uh pus oana kutkut uh, Arulana pusla, tia ku in oaoala. Lela len safla luk uh in oana len safla un mwet lun God; Ac lela nga in misa oana sie mwet suwoswos.”
11Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you here to curse my enemies, and behold, you have only blessed them!”
11Na Balak el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Mea se kom oru nu sik inge? Nga uskomme kom in tuh selngawi mwet lokoalok luk, a kom akinsewowoyalos mukena.”
12But Balaam replied, “Should I not speak exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?”
12El topuk, “Ma na LEUM GOD El sap nga in fahk pa nga ku in fahk uh.”
13Then Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place where you can see them. You will only see the outskirts of their camp—not all of them. And from there, curse them for me.”
13Na Balak el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Fahsru wiyu nu ke sie pac acn ma kom ku in liye kutu pac sin mwet Israel uh. Na kom fah selngawelos we keik.”
14So Balak took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, where he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
14El usal nu ke ima lun Zophim fin mangon Eol Pisgah. El etoak pac loang itkosr we ac kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang uh.
15Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there.”
15Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Tu sisken mwe kisa firir lom inge soaneyu, ac nga ac som osun nu sin God inse ingo.”
16And the LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and speak what I tell you.”
16LEUM GOD El sonol Balaam, ac fahkang nu sel ma elan fahk, na el folokunulla nu yorol Balak.
17So he returned to Balak, who was standing there by his burnt offering with the princes of Moab. “What did the LORD say?” Balak asked.
17Ouinge el folokla ac liye lah Balak el srakna tu sisken mwe kisa firir lal uh, wi mwet kol lun Moab. Balak el siyuk lah mea LEUM GOD El fahk,
18Then Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Arise, O Balak, and listen; give ear to me, O son of Zippor.
18ac Balaam el fahkak kas in palu inge: “Balak, wen natul Zippor, fahsru Ac porongo ma nga ac fahk uh.
19God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?
19God El tia oana mwet uh in kaskas kikiap, Tia mwet se pa El in ikil nunak lal, Kutena ma El wulela kac El ac orala na; El kaskas, ac ma El fahk uh orekla.
20I have indeed received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot change it.
20Fwackme nu sik mu nga in akinsewowoye, Ac God El fin akinsewowoye, nga tia ku in folokunla.
21He considers no disaster for Jacob; He sees no trouble for Israel. The LORD their God is with them, and the shout of the King is among them.
21Nga akilen mu wangin ma ac akkolukye ku aklokoalokye Moul lun mwet Israel ke pacl fahsru. LEUM GOD lalos El welulos; Elos fahkak kalem lah El pa tokosra lalos.
22God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox.
22God El usalosme liki acn Egypt; El mweun kaclos oana soko cow mukul lemnak.
23For there is no spell against Jacob and no divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and Israel, ‘What great things God has done!’
23Wangin susfa ac wangin inutnut Ku in orek lain mutunfacl Israel. Inge mwet uh ac fahk ke Israel, ‘Liyewin ma God El oru!’
24Behold, the people rise like a lioness; they rouse themselves like a lion, not resting until they devour their prey and drink the blood of the slain.”
24Mutunfacl Israel el oana soko lion na fokoko; El tia mongla nwe ke el eiya, kangla, Ac numla srah ke ma el uniya uh.”
25Now Balak said to Balaam, “Then neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!”
25Na Balak el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Kom finne srunga selngawi mwet Israel, tuh nimet kom akinsewowoyalos!”
26But Balaam replied, “Did I not tell you that whatever the LORD says, I must do?”
26Balaam el topuk, “Ya nga tuh tia fahkot nu sum lah ma na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik pa nga ac oru uh?”
27“Please come,” said Balak, “I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God that you curse them for me from there.”
27Tokosra Balak el fahk, “Fahsru wiyu, ac nga ac fah uskomla nu ke sie pacna acn. Sahp God El ac lela kom in selngawelos liki acn we nu sik.”
28And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the wasteland.
28Ouinge el usalak Balaam nu fin mangon Eol Peor, su el ku in ngeta we lac nu fin acn mwesis.
29Then Balaam said, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.”
29Balaam el fahk nu sel, “Etoak itkosr loang an nu sik inge, ac use itkosr cow mukul ac itkosr sheep mukul nu yuruk.”
30So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
30Balak el oru oana ke fwack nu sel, ac el kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang.
