1And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
1 Saaya kaŋ Balaam faham kaŋ a ga kaan Rabbi se no nga ma albarka daŋ Israyla gaa, a mana koy, danga waato wano cine, ka kuband'a da ziimataray. A na nga jine bare saajo do haray day no.
2And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
2 Balaam guna kal a di Israyla, i go ga goro ngey kundey sasarey ra. Kala Irikoy Biya zumbu a boŋ,
3And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
3 hal a na nga misa sambu ka ne: «Balaam, Beyor izo sanney neeya: bora kaŋ i n'a moy fiti, nga no goono ga salaŋ.
4He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
4 Nga kaŋ go ga maa Irikoy sanney go ga salaŋ. Nga kaŋ di Hina-Kulu-Koyo bangayyaŋ go ga salaŋ. A go ga ganda biri amma a moy go ga hay. A ne:
5How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
5 Ya Yakuba, man ni kuuru-fuwey booriyaŋ cine! Ni nangora mo, ya Israyla!
6As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
6 I go ga daaru danga isa beeri gooru, i ga hima isa me gaa kaliyaŋ. I ga hima sanda alowes* kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi tilam. Danga day hari zurey me gaa sedre* nyayaŋ no i ga hima.
7He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
7 I ga hari dooru gumbutu-gumbutu. I izey nangoray ga ciya hari boobo jarga wane. I koyo darza ga bisa Agag wano. I koytara ga ciya ibeeri.
8God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
8 I Irikoyo n'i fattandi i ma fun Misira, i gonda haw-bi gaabi cine. Dumey kaŋ yaŋ ga gaaba nd'ey, Israyla g'i ŋwa. A g'i biriyey ceeri patarmi-patarmi. A g'i hay da nga hangawey.
9He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
9 A gum, a kani danga muusu beeri futo, danga muusu nya cine, may no g'a tunandi? Albarka go boro kulu kaŋ ga ni albarkandi gaa. Laalante mo no boro kulu kaŋ ga ni laali.»
10And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
10 Kala Balak bine tun gumo Balaam se. A na nga kambey kar care gaa ka ne Balaam se: «A go, ay donton ka ni ce ni ma kaa k'ay ibarey laali ay se! Amma guna sorro hinza neeya kaŋ a kulu albarka no ni go ga daŋ i gaa.
11Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honor; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honor.
11 Woodin sabbay se binde, ma zuru ka ye ni kwaara. Doŋ ay mana ne kal ay ga ni beerandi gumo, amma Rabbi na ni ganji beera.»
12And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
12 Balaam mo tu Balak se ka ne: «Manti ay salaŋ ni diyey kaŋ ni donton ay do yaŋ se ka ne:
13If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
13 ‹Baa Balak n'ay no nga fuwo toonante nda nzarfu nda wura, kulu nda yaadin ay si hin ka Rabbi sanno daaru, ya salaŋ hala ihanno wala ilaalo, ay boŋ wane. Amma haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci, nga no ay mo ga salaŋ.›
14And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
14 Guna, sohõ ay ga ye ay borey do. Amma ma hangan hal ay ma ni kabarandi nda haŋ kaŋ borey wo ga te ni borey se jirbey kaŋ ga kaa ra.»
15And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
15 A na nga annabitaray sanney sintin, ka ne: «Balaam, Beyor izo, nga no go ga salaŋ. Bora kaŋ a mo ga hay, nga no go ga salaŋ.
16He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
16 Nga kaŋ go ga salaŋ maa Irikoy sanney. A gonda fahamay da Koy Beero bayray. A go ga di haŋ kaŋ Hina-Kulu-Koyo ga bangandi. A go ga ye ganda, amma a mo ga hay.
17I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
17 A ne: Ay di a, amma manti sohõ, ay n'a fonnay, amma a si maan. Handariya fo ga fatta ka fun Yakuba ra, koytaray sarjilla fo ga tun ka kay Israyla game ra. A ga Mowab me-a-me kar, a ga Setu izey kulu zeeri mo.
18And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
18 I ga Edom ciya a wane. Seyir mo ngey kaŋ ti a waato ibarey, i ga ye a do, saaya kaŋ Israyla ga gaabi bangandi.
19Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
19 Yakuba game ra boro fo ga du mayray. Zanjaro kaŋ cindi kwaara se din, a g'a tuusu.»
20And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
20 Woodin banda Balaam na Amalek do haray mo guna. A sintin ka annabitaray te ka ne: «Amalek no ga ti dumi sintina doŋ, amma a ga kokor ka halaci.»
21And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
21 Gaa no a na Kenancey do haray guna ka annabitaray te, ka ne: «Ni nangora ya gaabikooni no. Ni fito mo, i n'a jisi tondey game ra.
22Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
22 Kulu nda yaadin, i ga Kenancey ŋwa waati kaŋ Assiriya ga kaa ka konda nin tamtaray ra.»
23And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
23 A soobay ka annabitaray te ka ne: «Kaari! May no ga cindi da Irikoy na woodin te?
24And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
24 Amma teeku hiyaŋ ga kaa ka fun Cittim haray. I gaa Assiriya kankam, nga nda Heber, nga mo ga kokor ka halaci.»
25And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
25 Kala Balaam tun ka ye nga kwaara. Balak mo na nga fonda gana.
