民數記 24
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1巴蘭 見耶和華喜歡賜福與 以色列 ，就不像前兩次去求法術，卻面向曠野。
1When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he didn’t go, as at the other times, to use divination, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2巴蘭 舉目，看見 以色列 人照着支派居住。上帝的靈就臨到他身上，
2Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
3他便題起詩歌說： 比珥 的兒子 巴蘭 說， 眼目閉住的人說，
3He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;
4得聽上帝的言語， 得見全能者的異象， 眼目睜開而仆倒的人說：
4he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
5雅各 啊，你的帳棚何等華美！ 以色列 啊，你的帳幕何其華麗！
5How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your dwellings, Israel!
6如接連的山谷， 如河旁的園子， 如耶和華所栽的沉香樹， 如水邊的香柏木。
6As valleys they are spread out, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which the LORD has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.
7水要從他的桶裏流出； 種子要撒在多水之處。 他的王必超過 亞甲 ； 他的國必要振興。
7Water 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上帝領他出 埃及 ； 他似乎有野牛之力。 他要吞吃敵國， 折斷他們的骨頭， 用箭射透他們。
8God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall consume the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows.
9他蹲如公獅， 臥如母獅，誰敢惹他？ 凡給你祝福的，願他蒙福； 凡咒詛你的，願他受咒詛。
9He 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巴勒 向 巴蘭 生氣，就拍起手來，對 巴蘭 說：「我召你來為我咒詛仇敵，不料，你這三次竟為他們祝福。
10Balak’s anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.
11如今你快回本地去吧！我想使你得大尊榮，耶和華卻阻止你不得尊榮。」
11Therefore, flee to your place, now! I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, the LORD has kept you back from honor.”
12巴蘭 對 巴勒 說：「我豈不是對你所差遣到我那裏的使者說：
12Balaam said to Balak, “Didn’t I also tell your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,
13『 巴勒 就是將他滿屋的金銀給我，我也不得越過耶和華的命，憑自己的心意行好行歹。耶和華說甚麼，我就要說甚麼』？」
13‘If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the LORD’s word, to do either good or bad from my own mind. I will say what the LORD says’?
14「現在我要回本族去。你來，我告訴你這民日後要怎樣待你的民。」
14Now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.”
15他就題起詩歌說： 比珥 的兒子 巴蘭 說： 眼目閉住的人說，
15He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;
16得聽上帝的言語， 明白至高者的意旨， 看見全能者的異象， 眼目睜開而仆倒的人說：
16he says, who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
17我看他卻不在現時； 我望他卻不在近日。 有星要出於 雅各 ，有杖要興於 以色列 ， 必打破 摩押 的四角，毀壞擾亂之子。
17I 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 shall strike through the corners of Moab, and crush all the sons of Sheth.
18他必得 以東 為基業， 又得仇敵之地 西珥 為產業； 以色列 必行事勇敢。
18Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemy, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.
19有一位出於 雅各 的，必掌大權； 他要除滅城中的餘民。
19Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.”
20巴蘭 觀看 亞瑪力 ，就題起詩歌說： 亞瑪力 原為諸國之首， 但他終必沉淪。
20He 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巴蘭 觀看 基尼 人，就題起詩歌說： 你的住處本是堅固； 你的窩巢做在巖穴中。
21He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, “Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.
22然而 基尼 必至衰微， 直到 亞述 把你擄去。
22Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive.”
23巴蘭 又題起詩歌說： 哀哉！上帝行這事，誰能得活？
23He took up his parable, and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this?
24必有人乘船從 基提 界 而來 ， 苦害 亞述 ，苦害 希伯 ； 他也必至沉淪。
24But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction.”
25於是 巴蘭 起來，回他本地去； 巴勒 也回去了。
25Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
