1Balaam loh Balak taengah, “He ah he kai ham hmueihtuk parhih suem lamtah he ah he kai ham vaito pumrhih neh tutal pumrhih han tawn,” a ti nah.
1And Balaam said to Balac: Build me here seven altars, and prepare as many calves, and the same number of rams.
2Balaam kah a thui bangla Balak loh a saii tangloeng tih Balak neh Balaam loh hmueihtuk dongah vaito neh tutal te a paan puei .
2And when he had done according to the word of Balaam, they laid together a calf and a ram upon every altar.
3Te phoeiah Balaam loh Balak te, “Namah kah hmueihhlutnah taengah ana pai lamtah ka caeh vaengah kai doe hamla BOEIPA loh m'mah khaming. Kai taengah mebang ol ham phoe akhaw nang taengah ka puen bitni,” a ti nah tih caphoei cuk la cet.
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.
4Pathen loh Balaam te ana mah tangloeng tih a taengah, “Hmueihtuk parhih ka hol tih hmueihtuk soah vaito neh tutal ka tloeng coeng,” a ti nah.
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.
5BOEIPA loh Balaam kah ka ah ol a khueh phoeiah tah, “Balak taengla mael lamtah he he thui pah,” a ti nah.
5And the Lord put the word in his mouth, and said: Return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak.
6Te dongah anih te a mael hatah a hmueihhlutnah taengah amah neh Moab mangpa tom te tarha pai uh.
6Returning he found Balac standing by his burnt offering, with all the princes of the Moabites:
7Te phoeiah a thuidoeknah a poh tih, “Khothoeng tlang lamkah Moab manghai Balak loh kai he Aram lamloh m'mawt tih, 'Halo laeh, kai yueng la Jakob te thaephoei thil laeh, halo laeh, Israel te kosisah thil,’ a ti.
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.
8Pathen loh a tap pawt te metlam ka tap vetih, BOEIPA loh kosi a hong pawt ah metlam kosi ka hong eh?
8How shall I curse him, whom God hath not cursed? By what means should I detest him, whom the Lord detesteth not?
9Lungpang soi lamloh amah te ka hmuh tih som rhoek lamloh amah te ka mae. Pilnam he bueng he kho a sak tih namtom khuiah ana moeh moenih.
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.
10Jakob laipi neh Israel hlopli kah hlangmi te unim aka tae thai? Ka hinglu khaw aka thuem kah dueknah dongah duek saeh lamtah ka hmailong khaw amah la om saeh,” a ti.
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.
11Te vaengah Balak loh Balaam te, “Kai taengah balae na saii, ka thunkha tap ham nang kan loh dae yoethen la yoethen na paek coeng he,” a ti nah.
11And Balac said to Balaam: What is this that thou dost? I sent for thee to curse my enemies: and thou contrariwise blessest them.
12Te dongah a doo tih, “BOEIPA amah loh ka ka a khueh te thui ham ka ngaithuen mahpawt nim? a ti nah.
12He answered him: Call I speak any thing else but what the Lord commandeth?
13Te dongah amah te Balak loh, “Kamah neh hmuen tloe la cet khaw cet mai mai sih. Te ah ni amah te na hmuh thai eh, he lamlong tah a hmoi ni dawk na hmuh dae a cungkuem na hmuh moenih. Te dongah ke lamloh kai yueng la anih te tap laeh,” a ti nah.
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.
14Te phoeiah anih te Pisgah somtung kah Zophim khohmuen la a khuen. Te vaengah hmueihtuk parhih a suem tih hmueihtuk soah vaito neh tutal a nawn.
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,
15Te phoeiah Balak te, “Kai ke la ka pawk vaengah namah kah hmueihhlutnah taengah he ana pai,” a ti nah.
15He said to Balac: Stand here by thy burnt offering while I go to meet him.
16Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Balaam te a mah tih a ka dongah ol a sang pah phoeiah, “Balak taengah mael lamtah he he thui pah,” a ti nah.
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.
17Te phoeiah a taengla a mael hatah anih kah hmueihhlutnah taengah amah kah Moab mangpa rhoek khaw tarha ana pai uh. Te vaengah Balak loh anih te, “BOEIPA loh balae a thui,” a ti nah.
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?
18Te dongah a thuidoeknah te a poh tih, “Balak aw thoo lamtah hnatun lah, Zippor capa khaw kai taengla hnakaeng lah.
18But he taking up his parable, said: Stand, O Balac, and give ear: hear, thou son of Sephor:
19Pathen tah laithae hlang pawt tih hlang capa bangla dam a ti a? A ti coeng phoeiah a saii moenih a? A thui phoeiah a thoh puei moenih a?
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?
20Yoethen paek ham ka dang dongah a yoethen coeng tih ka yueh thai moenih ne.
20I was brought to bless, the blessing I am not able to hinder.
21Jakob khuiah boethae te paelki pawt tih Israel khuiah thakthaenah a hmuh moenih. A Pathen Yahweh tah a taengah om tih a khui ah manghai kah tamlung la a om pah.
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.
22Pathen loh amih te Egypt lamloh amah taengah cung ki bangla a khuen.
22God hath brought him out of Egypt, whose strength is like to the rhinoceros.
23Jakob te lung loh a noeng moenih, Israel te bihma loh a noeng moenih. Pathen loh Jakob neh Israel ham mebang a saii khaw a tue van vaengah a thui.
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.
24Pilnam te sathuengnu bangla a thoh tih sathueng bangla a kuel. Maeh a ngaeh tih salaem thii a ok duela yalh tlaih pawh.
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.
25Te dongah Balak loh Balaam te, “Anih tap ham khaw tap boel lamtah yoethen sak ham khaw anih te yoethen pae boeh,” a ti nah.
25And Balac said to Balaam: Neither curse, nor bless him.
26Balaam loh a doo tih Balak taengah, “Thui ham koi te nang taengah kan thui moenih a?A cungkuem dongah BOEIPA kah a thui te ni ka saii eh.
26And he said: Did I not tell thee, that whatsoever God should command me, that I would do?
27Te phoeiah Balak loh Balaam taengah, “Cet mai dae sih, hmuen tloe la nang kang khuen saeh lamtah Pathen mik ah thuem mai khaming. Te lamloh kai yueng la anih te tap mai,” a ti nah.
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.
28Te dongah Balak loh Balaam te khopong hmai la aka dan Peor somtung la a khuen.
28And when he had brought him upon the top of mount Phogor, which looketh towards the wilderness,
29Balaam loh Balak te, “He ah he kai ham hmueihtuk parhih suem lamtah he ah he kai ham vaito pumrhih neh tutal pumrhih han tawn,” a ti nah.
29Balaam said to him: Build me here seven altars, and prepare as many calves, and the same number of rams.
30Te dongah Balaam kah a thui bangla Balak loh a ngai tih vaito neh tutal hmueihtuk soah a nawn.
30Balac did as Balaam had said: and he laid on every altar, a calf and a ram.
