JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.'
1I AKU ia o Balaama ia Balaka, E hana oe no'u maanei i mau kuahu ehiku; e hoomakaukau hoi oe no'u i na bipikane ehiku a me na hipakane ehiku.
2And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
2Hana iho la o Balaka e like me ka Balaama i olelo aku ai; a mohai aku la o Balaka laua o Balaama ma kela kuahu ma keia kuahu i ka bipikane hookahi a me ka hipakane hookahi.
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.
3I aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, E ku iho oe ma kau mohaikuni, a e hele aku wau; malia paha e hele mai no o Iehova e halawai mo au: a o ka mea ana e hoike mai ai ia'u, oia ka'u o hai aku ai ia oe. A hele aku la ia i kahi kiekie.
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.'
4A halawai mai la ke Akua me Balaama; i aku la hoi oia ia ia, Ua hoomakaukau no wau i na kuahu ehiku, ua mohai aku hoi au i ka bipikane a me ka hipakane maluna o kela kuahu o keia kuahu.
5And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said: 'Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.'
5Waiho mai la o Iehova i wahi olelo ma ka waha o Balaama, i mai la, O hoi oe io Balaka la, a penei kau e olelo aku ai.
6And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
6A hoi hou ae la ia io na la: aia hoi, e ku ana oia ma kana mohaikuni, oia a me na luna a pau o Moaba.
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.'
7Hapai ae la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, Na Balaka ke alii o Moaba au i lawe mai nei Mai Arama mai, mai na mauna o ka hikina; E hele mai, e hoino no'u i ka Iakoba, E hele mai, e hoohewa aku i ka Iseraela.
8How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? And how shall I execrate, whom the LORD hath not execrated?
8Pehea la au e hoino ai i ka ke Akua i hoino ole ai? Pehea la hoi au e hoohewa ai i ka Iehova i hoohewa ole ai?
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.
9No ka mea, maluna o na pali ka'u e ike aku nei ia ia; Maluna hoi o na puu a'u e nana aku nei ia ia; Aia hoi, e noho kaawale ia poe kanaka, Aole hoi e huiia'ku me na lahuikanaka.
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!
10Owai la e hiki ke helu i na hunalepo o Iakoba, A me ka lehulehu o ka hapaha o ka Iseraela? E ake au e make i ka make ana o ka mea pono, I like hoi kuu hope me kona!
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.'
11I mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Heaha keia au i hana mai ai ia'u? Kii aku la no wau ia oe o olelo hoino i kuu poe enemi; aia hoi, ua hoomaikai wale aku oe ia lakou.
12And he answered and said: 'Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD putteth in my mouth?'
12Olelo aku la kela, i aku la, Aole anei au e hoomanao e olelo aku i ka mea a Iehova i waiho mai ai iloko o kuu waha?
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.'
13I mai la o Balaka ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele pu kaua ma kahi e, malaila e ike aku ai oe ia lakou: e ike oe i kela aoao wale no, aole no e ike ia lakou a pau; a malaila oe e hoino ai ia lakou no'u.
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.
14Kai aku la kela ia ia i kahi papu o Zopima, maluna pono o Pisega: hana iho la ia i na kuahu ehiku, a mohai aku la i ka bipikane a me ka hipakane ma kela kuahu a ma keia kuahu.
15And he said unto Balak: 'Stand here by thy burnt-offering, while I go toward a meeting yonder.'
15I aku la ia ia Balaka, E ku oe maanei ma kau mohaikuni, a halawai aku wau me Iehova ma o.
16And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said: 'Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.'
16Halawai mai la o Iehova me Balaama, waiho mai la i olelo ma kona waha, i mai la, E hoi hon aku oe io Balaka la, e i aku oe penei.
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?'
17A hiki aku la ia io na la, aia hoi, ku iho la ia ma kana mohaikuni, a me ia pu na luna o Moaba; ninau mai la o Balaka ia ia, Heaha ka Iehova i olelo mai ai?
18And he took up his parable, and said: Arise, Balak, and hear; give ear unto me, thou son of Zippor:
18Hai aku la ia i kana olelonane, i aku la, E ku ae oe iluna, e Balaka, e hoolohe mai; E maliu mai oe ia'u, e ke keiki a Zipora,
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?
19Aole ke Akua he kanaka, i hoopunipuni mai ai ia; Aole hoi ia he keiki a ke kanaka i mihi ia: Ua i mai no ia, aole anei ia e hana mai no hoi? Ua olelo mai no oia, aole anei ia e hooko?
20Behold, I am bidden to bless; and when He hath blessed, I cannot call it back.
20Aia hoi, ua loaa ia'u ka olelo hoomaikai aku; Ua hoomaikai no oia, aole e hiki ia'u ke hoololi ae.
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.
21Aole ia i ike i ka hewa iloko o ka Iakoba, Aole hoi oia i ike i ke kekee iloko o ka Iseraela; Me ia no o Iehova o kona Akua, Iwaena hoi o lakou ka hooho alii.
22God who brought them forth out of Egypt is for them like the lofty horns of the wild-ox.
22Na ke Akua lakou i lawe mai, mai Aigupita mai: Ia ia no ka ikaika me he reema la.
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!'
23He oiaio, aole no he kilokilo aku i ka Iakoba, Aole hoi he anaana aku i ka Iseraela: Ma ia hope e oleloia mai no ka Iakoba, a no ka Iseraela, Kupaianaha ka hana ana a ke Akua!
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.
24Aia hoi, e ala'e keia poe kanaka me he lionawahine la. E ku ae hoi ia e like me ka lionakane; Aole ia e moe hou, a ai iho ia i ke pio, A e inu hoi i ke koko o ka mea i pepehiia.
25And Balak said unto Balaam: 'Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.'
25I mai la o Balaka ia ia, Mai hoino iki aku ia lakou, aole hoi e hoomaikai iki aku.
26But Balaam answered and said unto Balak: 'Told not I thee, saying: All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?'
26Olelo aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, i aku la, Aole anei au i i aku ia oe, O ka mea a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia'u, oia ka'u e hana i?
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.'
27I mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele mai, a e kai aku au ia oe i kahi e; malia paha e oluolu ke Akua i hoino aku ai oe ia lakou malaila.
28And Balak took Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh down upon the desert.
28Kai aku la o Balaka ia Balaama maluna pono o Peora, e nana aku ana i Iesimona.
29And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.'
29I aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, E hana oe no'u i ehiku mau kuahu maanei, a e hoomakaukau no'u maanei i ehiku mau bipikane a me na hipakane i ehiku.
30And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
30Hana iho la o Balaka e like me ka Balaama i olelo ai, a mohai aku la i ka bipikane a me ka hipakane maluna o kela kuahu o keia kuahu.
