Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And Balaam said to Balac: Build me here seven altars, and prepare as many calves, and the same number of rams.
1Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Etoak itkosr loang an luk inse inge, ac use itkosr cow mukul ac itkosr sheep mukul.”
2And when he had done according to the word of Balaam, they laid together a calf and a ram upon every 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.
3And Balaam said to Balac: Stand a while by thy burnt offering, until I go, to see if perhaps the Lord will meet me, and whatsoever he shall command, I will speak to thee.
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 when he was gone with speed, God met him. And Balaam speaking to him, said: I have erected seven altars, and have laid on everyone a calf 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.”
5And the Lord put the word in his mouth, and said: Return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak.
5LEUM GOD El fahkang nu sel Balaam ma elan fahk, ac folokunulla nu yorol Balak.
6Returning he found Balac standing by his burnt offering, with all the princes of the Moabites:
6Ouinge el folokla ac liye lah Balak el srakna tu sisken mwe kisa firir lal wi mwet kol nukewa lun Moab.
7And taking up his parable, he said: Balac king of the Moabites hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east: Come, said he, and curse Jacob: make haste and detest 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 shall I curse him, whom God hath not cursed? By what means should I detest him, whom the Lord detesteth not?
8Nga ac selngawi fuka elos su God El tia selngawi, Ku fahk kas in lusla LEUM GOD El fin tia fahk?
9I shall see him from the tops of the rocks, and shall consider him from the hills. This people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned 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, and know the number of the stock of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the just, and my last end be like to them.
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.”
11And Balac said to Balaam: What is this that thou dost? I sent for thee to curse my enemies: and thou contrariwise blessest 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.”
12He answered him: Call I speak any thing else but what the Lord commandeth?
12El topuk, “Ma na LEUM GOD El sap nga in fahk pa nga ku in fahk uh.”
13Balac therefore said: Come with me to another place from whence thou mayest see part of Israel, and canst not see them all: curse them from thence.
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.”
14And when he had brought him to a high place, upon the top of mount Phasga, Balaam built seven altars, and laying on every one a calf and a ram,
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.
15He said to Balac: Stand here by thy burnt offering while I go to meet him.
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 when the Lord had met him, and had put the word in his mouth, he said: Return to Balac, and thus shalt thou say to him.
16LEUM GOD El sonol Balaam, ac fahkang nu sel ma elan fahk, na el folokunulla nu yorol Balak.
17Returning he found him standing by his burnt sacrifice, and the princes of the Moabites with him. And Balac said to him: What hath the Lord spoken?
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,
18But he taking up his parable, said: Stand, O Balac, and give ear: hear, thou son of Sephor:
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, nor as the son of man, that he should be changed. Hath he said then, and will he not do? hath he spoken, and will he 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 was brought to bless, the blessing I am not able to hinder.
20Fwackme nu sik mu nga in akinsewowoye, Ac God El fin akinsewowoye, nga tia ku in folokunla.
21There is no idol in Jacob, neither is there an image god to be seen in Israel. The Lord his God is with him, and the sound of the victory of the king in him.
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 hath brought him out of Egypt, whose strength is like to the rhinoceros.
22God El usalosme liki acn Egypt; El mweun kaclos oana soko cow mukul lemnak.
23There is no soothsaying in Jacob, nor divination in Israel. In their times it shall be told to Jacob and to Israel what God hath wrought.
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 shall rise up as a lioness, and shall lift itself up as a lion: it shall not lie down till it devour the 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.”
25And Balac said to Balaam: Neither curse, nor bless him.
25Na Balak el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Kom finne srunga selngawi mwet Israel, tuh nimet kom akinsewowoyalos!”
26And he said: Did I not tell thee, that whatsoever God should command me, that I would 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?”
27And Balac said to him: Come and I will bring thee to another place; if peradventure it please God that thou mayest curse them from thence.
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 when he had brought him upon the top of mount Phogor, which looketh towards the wilderness,
28Ouinge el usalak Balaam nu fin mangon Eol Peor, su el ku in ngeta we lac nu fin acn mwesis.
29Balaam said to him: Build me here seven altars, and prepare as many calves, and the same number of rams.
29Balaam el fahk nu sel, “Etoak itkosr loang an nu sik inge, ac use itkosr cow mukul ac itkosr sheep mukul nu yuruk.”
30Balac did as Balaam had said: and he laid on every altar, a calf and a ram.
30Balak el oru oana ke fwack nu sel, ac el kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang.
