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.
1Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk tahamhoihaih paek han koeh, tito Balaam mah panoek naah, hmacawnhaih hnuk hanah, canghniah caeh ih baktih toengah caeh ai ah, a mikhmai to praezaek bangah paqoi ving.
2Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
2Balaam mah khet naah, angmacae acaeng maeto pacoeng maeto nawnto amkhueng Israel kaminawk to a hnuk; to naah Sithaw ih Muithla a nuiah phak.
3He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;
3Anih mah taphong han ih patahhaih lok to lak moe, mik amtueng, Beor capa Balaam ih lok;
4he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
4long ah amtimh pacoengah, mik kamtueng, thacak Angraeng hnuksakhaih hnukung, Sithaw mah thuih ih lok thaih kami mah thuih ih lok loe,
5How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your dwellings, Israel!
5Aw Jakob, na ohhaih imnawk loe kawkruk maw hoih, Aw Israel, na kahni im loe kawkruk maw hoih!
6As valleys they are spread out, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which the LORD has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.
6Nang loe kawk parai azawnnawk, tuipui taengah kaom takhanawk, Angraeng mah thling ih thingnawk hoi tui taengah amprawk sidar thingnawk baktiah na oh o.
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.
7Anih loe a tui tabu thung hoiah tui to krai ueloe, anih ih aanmunawk loe kapop tui ahmuen ah krah o tih; anih ih siangpahrang loe Agag pongah len kue ueloe, a ukhaih prae doeh kasang ah pakoehhaih om tih.
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.
8Sithaw mah anih to Izip prae thung hoiah zaeh, anih loe kokno baktiah thacak; anih mah a misa ah kaom prae kaminawk to paaeh ueloe, nihcae ih ahuhnawk to khaek pae tih; angmah ih kalii hoiah nihcae to kat tih.
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.”
9Anih loe kaipui baktiah caeh moe, kalen kaipui baktiah tabok; anih to mi mah maw pathawk thai tih? Nang tahamhoihaih paek kami loe, tahamhoihaih tongh ueloe, nang tangoeng kami loe tangoeng ah om tih, tiah a naa.
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.
10Balak mah Balaam to palungphui thuih, a ban tabaeng phang pacoengah, Balak mah Balaam khaeah, Ka misanawk tangoeng hanah kang kawk, toe khenah, nihcae to vai thumto tahamhoihaih na paek lat.
11Therefore, flee to your place, now! I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, the LORD has kept you back from honor.”
11To pongah vaihi na ohhaih ahmuen ah cawn lai ah; nang hae kasang ah kang suek han, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh; toe khenah, to tiah oh han ai ah Angraeng mah pakaa ving boeh, tiah a naa.
12Balaam said to Balak, “Didn’t I also tell your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,
12Balaam mah Balak khaeah, Nang patoeh ih laicaehnawk khaeah,
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’?
13Balak mah sui hoi sum kanglung koimongah suek ih angmah ih siangpahrang im to na paek langlacadoeh, Angraeng mah paek ih lok pong kamtlai ah, kasae hmuen ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe kahoih hmuen ah maw, ka poekhaih to ka thui cop mak ai; Angraeng mah thuih ih lok khue ni ka thuih han, tiah ka thuih boeh na ai maw?
14Now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.”
14Khenah, vaihi loe kaimah ih kaminawk khaeah ka caeh han boeh; to pongah angzo ah; hae kaminawk mah hmabang ah nang ih kaminawk nuiah timaw sah o tih, tito kang thuih han, tiah a naa.
15He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;
15Anih mah taphong han ih patahhaih lok to lak moe, mik kamtueng, Beor capa Balaam mah thuih ih lok;
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:
16long ah amtimh pacoengah, mik kamtueng, thacak Angraeng hnuksakhaih hnukung, Kasang koek Sithaw palunghahaih panoekkung mah thuih ih lok loe,
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.
17anih to ka hnu tih, toe vaihi ka hnu mak ai vop; anih to ka khet han, toe atue loe anghnai ai vop; Jakob acaeng thung hoiah cakaeh maeto tacawt ueloe, Israel thung hoiah angraeng cunghet maeto angthawk tahang tih; anih mah Moab prae taki taket khoek to tuh ueloe, Sheth capanawk to amrosak boih tih.
18Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemy, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.
18Edom prae to la ueloe, Seir mae doeh anih ih misanawk mah la o tih; toe Israel loe misahoihaih hoiah thacak aep aep tih.
19Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.”
19Jakob thung hoiah ukkung maeto tacawt ueloe, vangpui thungah anghmat kaminawk to hum tih, tiah a naa.
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.”
20Balaam mah Amalek to khet moe, patahhaih lok to a thuih; acaeng kaminawk boih thungah Amalek loe hmaloe koek ah oh; toe anih loe hnukkhuem koek ah amro tih, tiah a naa.
21He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, “Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.
21To pacoengah Ken kaminawk to a khet moe, patahhaih lok to a thuih; na ohhaih ahmuen loe caak moe, tabu doeh lungsong nuiah na boh,
22Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive.”
22toe Ken kaminawk loe, Ashur ukkung mah tamna ah naeh ueloe, anghma angtaa o tih.
23He took up his parable, and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this?
23To pacoengah taphong han ih patahhaih lok to lak moe, Ala, Sithaw mah hae hmuen sak naah mi maw hing thai tih?
24But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction.”
24Kittim tui taeng hoiah palongpuinawk angzo o ueloe, nihcae mah Asshur hoi Eber to pazawk tih; toe angmacae doeh amro tih, tiah a naa.
25Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
25Balaam loe angthawk tahang moe, angmah im ah amlaem, to pacoengah Balak doeh angmah ih loklam ah caeh toeng.
