民数记 23
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1巴兰 对 巴勒 说:「你在这里给我筑七座坛,为我预备七只公牛,七只公羊。」
1And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.'
2巴勒 照 巴兰 的话行了。 巴勒 和 巴兰 在每座坛上献一只公牛,一只公羊。
2And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
3巴兰 对 巴勒 说:「你站在你的燔祭旁边,我且往前去,或者耶和华来迎见我。他指示我什么,我必告诉你。」于是 巴兰 上一净光的高处。
3And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go; peradventure the LORD will come to meet me; and whatsoever He showeth me I will tell thee.' And he went to a bare height.
4神迎见 巴兰 ; 巴兰 说:「我预备了七座坛,在每座坛上献了一只公牛,一只公羊。」
4And 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.'
5耶和华将话传给 巴兰 ,又说:「你回到 巴勒 那里,要如此如此说。」
5And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said: 'Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.'
6他就回到 巴勒 那里,见他同 摩押 的使臣都站在燔祭旁边。
6And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
7巴兰 便题起诗歌说: 巴勒 引我出 亚兰 , 摩押 王引我出东山, 说 : 来啊,为我咒诅 雅各 ; 来啊,怒骂 以色列 。
7And he took up his parable, and said: From Aram Balak bringeth me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East: 'Come, curse me Jacob, and come, execrate Israel.'
8神没有咒诅的,我焉能咒诅? 耶和华没有怒骂的,我焉能怒骂?
8How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? And how shall I execrate, whom the LORD hath not execrated?
9我从高峰看他,从小山望他; 这是独居的民,不列在万民中。
9For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, it is a people that shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10谁能数点 雅各 的尘土? 谁能计算 以色列 的四分之一? 我愿如义人之死而死; 我愿如义人之终而终。
10Who hath counted the dust of Jacob, or numbered the stock of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let mine end be like his!
11巴勒 对 巴兰 说:「你向我做的是什么事呢?我领你来咒诅我的仇敌,不料,你竟为他们祝福。」
11And Balak said unto Balaam: 'What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.'
12他回答说:「耶和华传给我的话,我能不谨慎传说吗?」
12And he answered and said: 'Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD putteth in my mouth?'
13巴勒 说:「求你同我往别处去,在那里可以看见他们;你不能全看见,只能看见他们边界上的人。在那里要为我咒诅他们。」
13And 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.'
14于是领 巴兰 到了 琐腓田 ,上了 毗斯迦山 顶,筑了七座坛;每座坛上献一只公牛,一只公羊。
14And 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.
15巴兰 对 巴勒 说:「你站在这燔祭旁边,等我往那边去迎见 耶和华 。」
15And he said unto Balak: 'Stand here by thy burnt-offering, while I go toward a meeting yonder.'
16耶和华临到 巴兰 那里,将话传给他;又说:「你回到 巴勒 那里,要如此如此说。」
16And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said: 'Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.'
17他就回到 巴勒 那里,见他站在燔祭旁边; 摩押 的使臣也和他在一处。 巴勒 问他说:「耶和华说了什么话呢?」
17And 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?'
18巴兰 就题诗歌说: 巴勒 ,你起来听; 西拨 的儿子,你听我言。
18And he took up his parable, and said: Arise, Balak, and hear; give ear unto me, thou son of Zippor:
19神非人,必不致说谎, 也非人子,必不致后悔。 他说话岂不照着行呢? 他发言岂不要成就呢?
19God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: when He hath said, will He not do it? or when He hath spoken, will He not make it good?
20我奉 命 祝福; 神也曾赐福,此事我不能翻转。
20Behold, I am bidden to bless; and when He hath blessed, I cannot call it back.
21他未见 雅各 中有罪孽, 也未见 以色列 中有奸恶。 耶和华—他的 神和他同在; 有欢呼王的声音在他们中间。
21None hath beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath one seen perverseness in Israel; the LORD his God is with him, and the shouting for the King is among them.
22神领他们出 埃及 ; 他们似乎有野牛之力。
22God who brought them forth out of Egypt is for them like the lofty horns of the wild-ox.
23断没有法术可以害 雅各 , 也没有占卜可以害 以色列 。 现在必有人论及 雅各 ,就是论及 以色列 说: 神为他行了何等的大事!
23For there is no enchantment with Jacob, neither is there any divination with Israel; now is it said of Jacob and of Israel: 'What hath God wrought!'
24这民起来,仿佛母狮, 挺身,好像公狮, 未曾吃野食, 未曾喝被伤者之血,决不躺卧。
24Behold a people that 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.
25巴勒 对 巴兰 说:「你一点不要咒诅他们,也不要为他们祝福。」
25And Balak said unto Balaam: 'Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.'
26巴兰 回答 巴勒 说:「我岂不是告诉你说『凡耶和华所说的,我必须遵行』吗?」
26But Balaam answered and said unto Balak: 'Told not I thee, saying: All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?'
27巴勒 对 巴兰 说:「来吧,我领你往别处去,或者 神喜欢你在那里为我咒诅他们。」
27And 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.'
28巴勒 就领 巴兰 到那下望旷野的 毗珥 山 顶上。
28And Balak took Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh down upon the desert.
29巴兰 对 巴勒 说:「你在这里为我筑七座坛,又在这里为我预备七只公牛,七只公羊。」
29And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.'
30巴勒 就照 巴兰 的话行,在每座坛上献一只公牛,一只公羊。
30And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
