Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.'
1Balaam el fahk nu sel Balak, “Etoak itkosr loang an luk inse inge, ac use itkosr cow mukul ac itkosr sheep mukul.”
2And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
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 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.
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 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.'
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 a word in Balaam's mouth, and said: 'Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.'
5LEUM GOD El fahkang nu sel Balaam ma elan fahk, ac folokunulla nu yorol Balak.
6And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
6Ouinge el folokla ac liye lah Balak el srakna tu sisken mwe kisa firir lal wi mwet kol nukewa lun Moab.
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.'
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, whom God hath not cursed? And how shall I execrate, whom the LORD hath not execrated?
8Nga ac selngawi fuka elos su God El tia selngawi, Ku fahk kas in lusla LEUM GOD El fin tia fahk?
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.
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 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!
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 Balak said unto Balaam: 'What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.'
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.”
12And he answered and said: 'Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD putteth in my mouth?'
12El topuk, “Ma na LEUM GOD El sap nga in fahk pa nga ku in fahk uh.”
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.'
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 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.
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.
15And he said unto Balak: 'Stand here by thy burnt-offering, while I go toward a meeting yonder.'
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 the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said: 'Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.'
16LEUM GOD El sonol Balaam, ac fahkang nu sel ma elan fahk, na el folokunulla nu yorol Balak.
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?'
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,
18And he took up his parable, and said: Arise, Balak, and hear; give ear unto me, thou son of Zippor:
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; 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?
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.
20Behold, I am bidden to bless; and when He hath blessed, I cannot call it back.
20Fwackme nu sik mu nga in akinsewowoye, Ac God El fin akinsewowoye, nga tia ku in folokunla.
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.
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 who brought them forth out of Egypt is for them like the lofty horns of the wild-ox.
22God El usalosme liki acn Egypt; El mweun kaclos oana soko cow mukul lemnak.
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!'
23Wangin susfa ac wangin inutnut Ku in orek lain mutunfacl Israel. Inge mwet uh ac fahk ke Israel, ‘Liyewin ma God El oru!’
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.
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 Balak said unto Balaam: 'Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.'
25Na Balak el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Kom finne srunga selngawi mwet Israel, tuh nimet kom akinsewowoyalos!”
26But Balaam answered and said unto Balak: 'Told not I thee, saying: All that the LORD speaketh, that I must 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 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.'
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 Balak took Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh down upon the desert.
28Ouinge el usalak Balaam nu fin mangon Eol Peor, su el ku in ngeta we lac nu fin acn mwesis.
29And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.'
29Balaam el fahk nu sel, “Etoak itkosr loang an nu sik inge, ac use itkosr cow mukul ac itkosr sheep mukul nu yuruk.”
30And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
30Balak el oru oana ke fwack nu sel, ac el kisakin cow mukul soko ac sheep mukul soko fin kais sie loang.
