¹Ja Bileam ütles Baalakile: 'Ehita mulle siia seitse altarit ja muretse mulle siia seitse härjavärssi ja seitse jäära!'

¹And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

²Ja Baalak tegi, nagu Bileam ütles; ja Baalak ja Bileam ohverdasid igal altaril härjavärsi ja jäära.

²And Balak did as Balaam had said; and Balak and Balaam offered up a bullock and a ram on [each] altar.

³Ja Bileam ütles Baalakile: 'Jää oma põletusohvri juurde, mina aga lähen sinna! Vahest Issand tuleb mulle vastu. Ja mida tema mulle ilmutab, seda ma ütlen sinule.' Ja ta läks lagedale künkale.

³And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go; perhaps Jehovah will come to meet me; and whatever he shews me I will tell thee. And he went to a hill.

⁴Ja Jumal tuli vastu Bileamile, kes ütles temale: 'Ma püstitasin need seitse altarit ning ohverdasin igal altaril härjavärsi ja jäära.'

⁴And God met Balaam; and [Balaam] said to him, I have disposed seven altars, and have offered up a bullock and a ram upon [each] altar.

⁵Ja Issand pani Bileamile sõnad suhu ning ütles: 'Mine tagasi Baalaki juurde ja räägi nõnda!'

⁵And Jehovah put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.

⁶Siis ta läks tagasi tema juurde, ja vaata, ta seisis oma põletusohvri juures, tema ja kõik Moabi vürstid.

⁶And he returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.

⁷Siis ta hakkas lausuma ja ütles: 'Aramist tõi mind Baalak, ida mägedelt Moabi kuningas: 'Tule, nea mulle Jaakob, tule sajata Iisraeli!'

⁷And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east: Come, curse me Jacob, and come, denounce Israel!

⁸Kuidas ma võiksin needa, keda Jumal ei nea? Ja kuidas ma võiksin sajatada, keda Issand ei sajata?

⁸How shall I curse whom ùGod hath not cursed? or how shall I denounce whom Jehovah doth not denounce?

⁹Sest ma näen teda kaljude tipust ja vaatan küngastelt: ennäe rahvast, kes elab eraldi ega arva ennast paganate hulka.

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.

¹⁰Kes loendab Jaakobi põrmu ja kes arvab kokku Iisraeli tolmukübemed? Mu hing surgu õiglaste surma ja mu lõpp olgu nagu temal!'

¹⁰Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like his!

¹¹Siis Baalak ütles Bileamile: 'Mis sa mulle tegid? Ma tõin sind oma vaenlasi needma, ja vaata, sa oled neid hoopis õnnistanud!'

¹¹And Balak said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.

¹²Aga tema vastas ja ütles: 'Kas ma ei peaks ustavalt rääkima seda, mis Issand mu suhu paneb?'

¹²And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah puts in my mouth?

¹³Siis Baalak ütles temale: 'Tule nüüd koos minuga teise paika, kust sa näed seda rahvast. Sa näed küll ainult ta äärt, sa ei näe teda kogu ulatuses, aga nea ta mulle sealt!'

¹³And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to another place, from whence thou wilt see them; thou shalt see only the extremity of them and shalt not see them all, and curse me them from thence.

¹⁴Ja ta võttis tema kaasa valvurite väljakule, Pisgaa mäetippu, ehitas seitse altarit ning ohverdas igal altaril härjavärsi ja jäära.

¹⁴And he took him to the watchmen's field, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on [each] altar.

¹⁵Siis Bileam ütles Baalakile: 'Jää siia oma põletusohvri juurde, mina lähen sinna kohtamisele!'

¹⁵And [Balaam] said to Balak, Stand here by thy burnt-offering, and I will go to meet yonder.

¹⁶Ja Issand tuli Bileamile vastu, pani temale sõnad suhu ja ütles: 'Mine tagasi Baalaki juurde ja räägi nõnda!'

¹⁶And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus shalt thou speak.

¹⁷Siis ta tuli tema juurde, ja vaata, ta seisis oma põletusohvri juures ja koos temaga Moabi vürstid. Ja Baalak küsis temalt: 'Mis Issand rääkis?'

¹⁷And he came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him; and Balak said to him, What has Jehovah spoken?

¹⁸Siis ta hakkas rääkima ja ütles: 'Tõuse, Baalak, ja kuule, pane mind tähele, Sippori poeg!

¹⁸Then he took up his parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear! hearken unto me, son of Zippor!

¹⁹Jumal ei ole inimene, et ta valetaks, inimlaps, et ta kahetseks. Kas tema ütleb, aga ei tee, või räägib, aga ei vii täide?

¹⁹ùGod is not a man, that he should lie; neither a son of man, that he should repent. Shall he say and not do? and shall he speak and not make it good?

²⁰Vaata, mind on kästud õnnistada. Tema on õnnistanud, mina ei saa seda tagasi võtta.

²⁰Behold, I have received [mission] to bless; and he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.

²¹Ei märgata häda Jaakobis ega nähta õnnetust Iisraelis. Issand, ta Jumal, on temaga ja rõõmuhääl kuningast tema keskel.

²¹He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen wrong in Israel; Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of a king is in his midst.

²²Jumal, kes tõi nad Egiptusest, on neile otsekui sarved metshärjale.

²²ùGod brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo.

²³Sellepärast ei ole lausumist Jaakobi vastu ega loitsimist Iisraeli vastu. Küll öeldakse Jaakobist ja Iisraelist: Vaata, mis Jumal on teinud!

²³For there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel. At this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath ùGod wrought!

²⁴Vaata, rahvas tõuseb nagu emalõvi, ajab ennast püsti nagu lõvi. Ei ta heida maha enne, kui saak on söödud ja tapetute veri on joodud.'

²⁴Lo, the people will rise up as a lioness, and lift himself up as a lion. He shall not lie down until he have eaten the prey and drunk the blood of the slain.

²⁵Aga Baalak ütles Bileamile: 'Kui sa teda ei nea, siis ära teda ometi õnnista!'

²⁵And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

²⁶Bileam aga vastas ja ütles Baalakile: 'Eks ma ole sulle rääkinud ja öelnud: Ma pean tegema kõike, mida Issand käsib.'

²⁶And Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell thee, saying, All that Jehovah shall speak, that will I do?

²⁷Siis Baalak ütles Bileamile: 'Tule nüüd, ma võtan sind kaasa teise paika. Vahest on see õige Jumala silmis, et sa nead rahva mulle sealt!'

²⁷And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee to another place; perhaps it will be right in the sight of God that thou curse me them from thence.

²⁸Ja Baalak võttis Bileami enesega kaasa mäetippu, mis kerkib üle kõrbepinna.

²⁸And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, which looks over the surface of the waste.

²⁹Siis Bileam ütles Baalakile: 'Ehita mulle siia seitse altarit ja muretse mulle siia seitse härjavärssi ja seitse jäära!'

²⁹And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

³⁰Ja Baalak tegi, nagu Bileam ütles, ja ta ohverdas igal altaril härjavärsi ja jäära.

³⁰And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on each altar.
