¹At sinabi ni Balaam kay Balac, Ipagtayo mo ako rito ng pitong dambana, at ipaghanda mo ako rito ng pitong toro at ng pitong tupang lalake.

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

²At ginawa ni Balac gaya ng sinalita ni Balaam; at si Balac at si Balaam ay naghandog sa bawa't dambana ng isang toro at ng isang tupang lalake.

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

³At sinabi ni Balaam kay Balac, Tumayo ka sa tabi ng iyong handog na susunugin, at ako'y yayaon; marahil ang Panginoon ay paririto na sasalubungin ako: at anomang bagay na kaniyang ipakita sa akin ay aking sasaysayin sa iyo. At siya'y naparoon sa isang dakong mataas na walang tanim.

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.

⁴At sinalubong ng Dios si Balaam: at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Aking inihanda ang pitong dambana, at aking inihandog ang isang toro at ang isang tupang lalake sa bawa't dambana.

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.

⁵At nilagyan ng Panginoon ng salita ang bibig ni Balaam, at sinabi: Bumalik ka kay Balac, at ganito ang iyong sasalitain.

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

⁶At siya'y bumalik sa kaniya, at, narito, siya'y nakatayo sa tabi ng kaniyang handog na susunugin, siya at ang lahat ng mga prinsipe sa Moab.

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

⁷At kaniyang ibinadya ang kaniyang talinhaga, at sinabi, Mula sa Aram ay dinala ako rito ni Balac, Niyang hari sa Moab, na mula sa mga bundok ng Silanganan: Parito ka, sumpain mo sa akin ang Jacob. At parito ka, laitin mo ang Israel.

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!

⁸Paanong aking susumpain ang hindi sinumpa ng Dios? At paanong aking lalaitin ang hindi nilait ng Panginoon?

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

⁹Sapagka't mula sa taluktok ng mga bato ay aking nakikita siya, At mula sa mga burol ay akin siyang natatanawan: Narito, siya'y isang bayang tatahang magisa, At hindi ibinibilang sa gitna ng mga bansa.

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.

¹⁰Sinong makabibilang ng alabok ng Jacob, O ng bilang ng ikaapat na bahagi ng Israel? Mamatay nawa ako ng kamatayan ng matuwid, At ang aking wakas ay magiging gaya nawa ng kaniya!

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!

¹¹At sinabi ni Balac kay Balaam, Anong ginawa mo sa akin? Ipinagsama kita upang sumpain mo ang aking mga kaaway, at, narito, iyong pinagpala silang totoo.

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.

¹²At siya'y sumagot, at nagsabi, Hindi ba nararapat na aking pagingatang salitain yaong isinasa bibig ko ng Panginoon?

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

¹³At sinabi sa kaniya ni Balac, Isinasamo ko sa iyo, na sumama ka sa akin sa ibang dako, na iyong pagkakakitaan sa kanila; ang iyo lamang makikita ay ang kahulihulihang bahagi nila, at hindi mo makikita silang lahat: at sumpain mo sila sa akin mula roon.

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.

¹⁴At dinala niya siya sa parang ng Sophim, sa taluktok ng Pisga, at nagtayo roon ng pitong dambana, at naghandog ng isang toro, at ng isang tupang lalake sa bawa't dambana.

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.

¹⁵At kaniyang sinabi kay Balac, Tumayo ka rito sa tabi ng iyong handog na susunugin, samantalang aking sinasalubong ang Panginoon doon.

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

¹⁶At sinalubong ng Panginoon si Balaam, at pinapagsalita siya ng salita sa kaniyang bibig, at sinabi, bumalik ka kay Balac, at ganito ang iyong sasalitain.

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

¹⁷At siya'y naparoon sa kaniya, at, narito, siya'y nakatayo sa tabi ng kaniyang handog na susunugin, at ang mga prinsipe sa Moab na kasama niya. At sinabi sa kaniya ni Balac, Anong sinalita ng Panginoon?

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?

¹⁸At kaniyang ibinadya ang kaniyang talinghaga, at sinabi, Tumindig ka, Balac, at iyong dinggin; Makinig ka sa akin, ikaw anak ni Zippor:

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

¹⁹Ang Dios ay hindi tao na magsisinungaling, Ni anak ng tao na magsisisi; Sinabi ba niya, at hindi niya gagawin? O sinalita ba niya, at hindi niya isasagawa?

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?

²⁰Narito, ako'y tumanggap ng utos na magpala: At kaniyang pinagpala, at hindi ko na mababago.

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

²¹Wala siyang nakitang kasamaan sa Jacob, Ni wala siyang nakitang kasamaan sa Israel: Ang Panginoon niyang Dios ay sumasa kaniya, At ang sigaw ng hari ay nasa gitna nila.

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.

²²Dios ang naglalabas sa kanila sa Egipto; Siya'y may lakas na gaya ng mabangis na toro.

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

²³Tunay na walang enkanto laban sa Jacob, Ni panghuhula laban sa Israel: Ngayo'y sasabihin tungkol sa Jacob at sa Israel, Anong ginawa ng Dios!

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!

²⁴Narito, ang bayan ay tumitindig na parang isang leong babae, At parang isang leon na nagpakataas: Siya'y hindi mahihiga hanggang sa makakain ng huli, At makainom ng dugo ng napatay.

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.

²⁵At sinabi ni Balac kay Balaam, Ni huwag mo silang pakasumpain ni pakapagpalain.

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

²⁶Nguni't si Balaam ay sumagot at nagsabi kay Balac, Di ba isinaysay ko sa iyo, na sinasabi, Yaong lahat na sinasalita ng Panginoon, ay siya kong nararapat gawin?

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

²⁷At sinabi ni Balac kay Balaam, Halika ngayon, ipagsasama kita sa ibang dako; marahil ay kalulugdan ng Dios na iyong sumpain sila sa akin mula roon.

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.

²⁸At ipinagsama ni Balac si Balaam sa taluktok ng Peor, na nakatungo sa ilang.

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

²⁹At sinabi ni Balaam kay Balac, Ipagtayo mo ako rito ng pitong dambana, at ipaghanda mo ako rito ng pitong toro at ng pitong tupang lalake.

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

³⁰At ginawa ni Balac gaya ng sinabi ni Balaam, at naghandog ng isang toro at ng isang tupang lalake sa bawa't dambana.

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