¹فلما رأى بلعام انه يحسن في عيني الرب ان يبارك اسرائيل لم ينطلق كالمرة الاولى والثانية ليوافي فألا بل جعل نحو البرية وجهه.

¹And Balaam seeth that [it is] good in the eyes of Jehovah to bless Israel, and he hath not gone as time by time to meet enchantments, and he setteth towards the wilderness his face;

²ورفع بلعام عينيه ورأى اسرائيل حالا حسب اسباطه. فكان عليه روح الله

²and Balaam lifteth up his eyes, and seeth Israel tabernacling, by its tribes, and the Spirit of God is upon him,

³فنطق بمثله وقال. وحي بلعام بن بعور. وحي الرجل المفتوح العينين.

³and he taketh up his simile, and saith: `An affirmation of Balaam son of Beor — And an affirmation of the man whose eyes are shut —

⁴وحي الذي يسمع اقوال الله. الذي يرى رؤيا القدير مطروحا وهو مكشوف العينين.

⁴An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God — Who a vision of the Almighty seeth, Falling — and eyes uncovered:

⁵ما احسن خيامك يا يعقوب مساكنك يا اسرائيل.

⁵How good have been thy tents, O Jacob, Thy tabernacles, O Israel;

⁶كاودية ممتدة كجنّات على نهر كشجرات عود غرسها الرب. كارزات على مياه

⁶As valleys they have been stretched out, As gardens by a river; As aloes Jehovah hath planted, As cedars by waters;

⁷يجري ماء من دلائه ويكون زرعه على مياه غزيرة ويتسامى ملكه على اجاج وترتفع مملكته.

⁷He maketh water flow from his buckets, And his seed [is] in many waters; And higher than Agag [is] his king, And exalted is his kingdom.

⁸الله اخرجه من مصر. له مثل سرعة الرئم. يأكل امما مضايقيه ويقضم عظامهم ويحطم سهامه.

⁸God is bringing him out of Egypt; As the swiftness of a Reem is to him, He eateth up nations his adversaries, And their bones he breaketh, And [with] his arrows he smiteth,

⁹جثم كأسد ربض كلبوة. من يقيمه. مباركك مبارك ولاعنك ملعون

⁹He hath bent, he hath lain down as a lion, And as a lioness: who doth raise him up? He who is blessing thee [is] blessed, And he who is cursing thee [is] cursed.`

¹⁰فاشتعل غضب بالاق على بلعام وصفق بيديه وقال بالاق لبلعام. لتشتم اعدائي دعوتك وهوذا انت قد باركتهم الآن ثلاث دفعات.

¹⁰And the anger of Balak burneth against Balaam, and he striketh his hands; and Balak saith unto Balaam, `To pierce mine enemies I called thee, and lo, thou hast certainly blessed — these three times;

¹¹فالآن اهرب الى مكانك. قلت اكرمك اكراما وهوذا الرب قد منعك عن الكرامه.

¹¹and now, flee for thyself unto thy place; I have said, I do greatly honour thee, and lo, Jehovah hath kept thee back from honour.`

¹²فقال بلعام لبالاق ألم اكلم ايضا رسلك الذين ارسلت اليّ قائلا.

¹²And Balaam saith unto Balak, `Did I not also unto thy messengers whom thou hast sent unto me, speak, saying,

¹³ولو اعطاني بالاق ملء بيته فضة وذهبا لا اقدر ان اتجاوز قول الرب لاعمل خيرا او شرا من نفسي. الذي يتكلمه الرب اياه اتكلم.

¹³If Balak doth give to me the fulness of his house of silver and gold, I am not able to pass over the command of Jehovah, to do good or evil of mine own heart — that which Jehovah speaketh — it I speak?

¹⁴والآن هوذا انا منطلق الى شعبي. هلم انبئك بما يفعله هذا الشعب بشعبك في آخر الايام

¹⁴and, now, lo, I am going to my people; come, I counsel thee [concerning] that which this people doth to thy people, in the latter end of the days.`

¹⁵ثم نطق بمثله وقال. وحي بلعام بن بعور. وحي الرجل المفتوح العينين.

¹⁵And he taketh up his simile, and saith: `An affirmation of Balaam son of Beor — And an affirmation of the man whose eyes [are] shut —

¹⁶وحي الذي يسمع اقوال الله ويعرف معرفة العلي. الذي يرى رؤيا القدير ساقطا وهو مكشوف العينين.

¹⁶An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God — And knowing knowledge of the Most High; A vision of the Almighty he seeth, Falling — and eyes uncovered:

¹⁷اراه ولكن ليس الآن. ابصره ولكن ليس قريبا. يبرز كوكب من يعقوب ويقوم قضيب من اسرائيل فيحطم طرفي موآب ويهلك كل بني الوغى.

¹⁷I see it, but not now; I behold it, but not near; A star hath proceeded from Jacob, And a sceptre hath risen from Israel, And hath smitten corners of Moab, And hath destroyed all sons of Sheth.

¹⁸ويكون ادوم ميراثا. ويكون سعير اعداؤه ميراثا. ويصنع اسرائيل ببأس.

¹⁸And Edom hath been a possession, And Seir hath been a possession, [for] its enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;

¹⁹ويتسلط الذي من يعقوب ويهلك الشارد من مدينة

¹⁹And [one] doth rule out of Jacob, And hath destroyed a remnant from Ar.`

²⁰ثم رأى عماليق فنطق بمثله وقال. عماليق اول الشعوب واما آخرته فالى الهلاك.

²⁰And he seeth Amalek, and taketh up his simile, and saith: `A beginning of the Goyim [is] Amalek; And his latter end — for ever he perisheth.`

²¹ثم رأى القيني فنطق بمثله وقال. ليكن مسكنك متينا وعشك موضوعا في صخرة.

²¹And he seeth the Kenite, and taketh up his simile, and saith: `Enduring [is] thy dwelling, And setting in a rock thy nest,

²²لكن يكون قاين للدمار حتى متى يستأسرك اشور.

²²But the Kenite is for a burning; Till when doth Asshur keep thee captive?`

²³ثم نطق بمثله وقال آه من يعيش حين يفعل ذلك.

²³And he taketh up his simile, and saith: `Alas! who doth live when God doth this?

²⁴وتأتي سفن من ناحية كتيم وتخضع اشور وتخضع عابر فهو ايضا الى الهلاك

²⁴And — ships [are] from the side of Chittim, And they have humbled Asshur, And they have humbled Eber, And it also for ever is perishing.`

²⁵ثم قام بلعام وانطلق ورجع الى مكانه. وبالاق ايضا ذهب في طريقه

²⁵And Balaam riseth, and goeth, and turneth back to his place, and Balak also hath gone on his way.
