1فلما رأى بلعام انه يحسن في عيني الرب ان يبارك اسرائيل لم ينطلق كالمرة الاولى والثانية ليوافي فألا بل جعل نحو البرية وجهه.
1When Balaam saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless Israel, he didn’t go, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2ورفع بلعام عينيه ورأى اسرائيل حالا حسب اسباطه. فكان عليه روح الله
2Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
3فنطق بمثله وقال. وحي بلعام بن بعور. وحي الرجل المفتوح العينين.
3He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;
4وحي الذي يسمع اقوال الله. الذي يرى رؤيا القدير مطروحا وهو مكشوف العينين.
4he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
5ما احسن خيامك يا يعقوب مساكنك يا اسرائيل.
5How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your tents, Israel!
6كاودية ممتدة كجنّات على نهر كشجرات عود غرسها الرب. كارزات على مياه
6As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which Yahweh has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.
7يجري ماء من دلائه ويكون زرعه على مياه غزيرة ويتسامى ملكه على اجاج وترتفع مملكته.
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.
8الله اخرجه من مصر. له مثل سرعة الرئم. يأكل امما مضايقيه ويقضم عظامهم ويحطم سهامه.
8God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows.
9جثم كأسد ربض كلبوة. من يقيمه. مباركك مبارك ولاعنك ملعون
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.”
10فاشتعل غضب بالاق على بلعام وصفق بيديه وقال بالاق لبلعام. لتشتم اعدائي دعوتك وهوذا انت قد باركتهم الآن ثلاث دفعات.
10Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.
11فالآن اهرب الى مكانك. قلت اكرمك اكراما وهوذا الرب قد منعك عن الكرامه.
11Therefore now flee you to your place! I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, Yahweh has kept you back from honor.”
12فقال بلعام لبالاق ألم اكلم ايضا رسلك الذين ارسلت اليّ قائلا.
12Balaam said to Balak, “Didn’t I also tell your messengers who you sent to me, 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.
13‘If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the word of Yahweh, to do either good or bad of my own mind. I will say what Yahweh says’?
14والآن هوذا انا منطلق الى شعبي. هلم انبئك بما يفعله هذا الشعب بشعبك في آخر الايام
14Now, behold, I go to my people: come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.”
15ثم نطق بمثله وقال. وحي بلعام بن بعور. وحي الرجل المفتوح العينين.
15He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;
16وحي الذي يسمع اقوال الله ويعرف معرفة العلي. الذي يرى رؤيا القدير ساقطا وهو مكشوف العينين.
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:
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 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 break down all the sons of Sheth.
18ويكون ادوم ميراثا. ويكون سعير اعداؤه ميراثا. ويصنع اسرائيل ببأس.
18Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemies, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.
19ويتسلط الذي من يعقوب ويهلك الشارد من مدينة
19Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.”
20ثم رأى عماليق فنطق بمثله وقال. عماليق اول الشعوب واما آخرته فالى الهلاك.
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.”
21ثم رأى القيني فنطق بمثله وقال. ليكن مسكنك متينا وعشك موضوعا في صخرة.
21He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, “Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.
22لكن يكون قاين للدمار حتى متى يستأسرك اشور.
22Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive.”
23ثم نطق بمثله وقال آه من يعيش حين يفعل ذلك.
23He took up his parable, and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this?
24وتأتي سفن من ناحية كتيم وتخضع اشور وتخضع عابر فهو ايضا الى الهلاك
24But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction.”
25ثم قام بلعام وانطلق ورجع الى مكانه. وبالاق ايضا ذهب في طريقه
25Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
