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.
1Huchi in, Israelte vualzawl sak TOUPA deihlam ahi chih Balaam in a theih in ni dang a a hih bang in khimhaina lam hih ding a hoh lou in gamdai lam a zuan zo ta.
2Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
2Huan, Balaam a vandak a, Israel mite a nam dan uh dungzui zel a om a mu a; huan, Pathian kha a tungah a hong tung hi
3He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;
3Huan, hiai thu a gen a, Beor tapa Balaam vak:
4he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:
4Pathian thute za a, Bangkim hihthei a kilakna mu a khup a puk mit hong vak ta in,
5How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your tents, Israel!
5Jakobte aw, na puan innte uh hoih hina mah e, Israelte aw, na biakbukte uh!
6As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which Yahweh has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.
6Guam bang in a kiphah zeizoi a, lui dung a huante bang in, TOUPA suan tosaw bang in, lui dung a sidar singte bang ahi uh.
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.
7A baltin a kipan in tui a luangkhe ding a, a chi tui tampi ahte a om ding a, a kumpipa Agag sang in a thupi ding.
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.
8Aigupta a kipan Pathian in a pikhia a, gam bawngtal tha bang a nei uh, nam dang a melma uh a nekhin ua, guhte uh a hihzan vek ding uh, a thal un a kap pailet ding uh.
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.”
9A kun ua, humpinelkai bang in a kual ua, humpinelkai bang mai in; kuan a tokthou dia? Hon vualzawl peuhmahte vualzawl in om uhenla, hon hamsiat peuhmahte hamsiat in om uhen, a chi a.
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.
10Huchi in Balaam tungah Balak a heh mahmah a: Balak in Balaam kiang ah Ka melmate hamsiat ding in ka hon sam a, tu in, thumvei tak amau na vualzawl ta,
11Therefore now flee you to your place! I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, Yahweh has kept you back from honor.”
11Huaiziak in na omna ah paimang in: thupi tak a hon tawisang ding ka hoh chih na hi a; himahleh, ngai in, TOUPA'N nang kon tawisang a dal ahi, a chi a.
12Balaam said to Balak, “Didn’t I also tell your messengers who you sent to me, saying,
12Huan, Balaam in Balak kiang ah, Na mi sawlte kiang ah leng ka gen him kei maw.
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’?
13Balak in a inn dangka leh dangka-eng a dim in hon pe sin mahleh, a hoihlam hiam, a selam hiam keimah lungsim a suak mawng in TOUPA thu khen lam ah bangmah ka hih theikei: TOUPA'N a gen peuhmah ka gen ding, chi in?
14Now, behold, I go to my people: come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.”
14Ngai in, ka mite kiang ah ka pai ta ding a, hong in, hiai mite'n tunung chiang a na mite tung a a hihdan ding ka hoh hilh ding, a chi a.
15He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;
15Huan, hiai thu a gen a. Beor tapa Balaam mit vak:
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:
16Pathian thute za a, Tungnungpen theihna a, Bangkim hihthei a kilakna mu, a khup a puk a mit hong vak ta in;
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.
17Amah ka mu a, tua a om bang hilou ka en a, nai chik a bang hilou in: Jakob a kipan in aksi a hong suakkhe ding a, Israel a kipan in lalchiang a hong dingkhe ding a, Moab gam tawn in a sun pailet ding a, buaina ta tengteng a hihniam ding hi.
18Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemies, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.
18A melma Edom leh Seirte a tang ta ding a; Israel tan a hoih sun teng.
19Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.”
19Jakob a kipan in kua hiam a lal ding a, khua a omsunte a hihmang ding, a chi, a chi a.
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.”
20Huan, Amalek lam a nga a, thu a gen a, Amalek bel nam bul pen ahi na a, a dawn lam manthatna ahi, a chi a.
21He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, “Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.
21Huan, Ken lam a nga a, thu a gen a, Na omna mun zaw a kip a, na bu suangpi a seh ahi.
22Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive.”
22Assurte sal a hon pimang uh tan in, a chi a.
23He took up his parable, and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this?
23Huan, thu a gen nawn a, Pathian in hichi bang a a hih in kua a hing thei dia leh?
24But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction.”
24Himahleh Kittim gam a kipan in longte a hong tung ding a, Assur a hihgim ding ua, Eber a hihgim ding ua, amah leng a mangthang ding, a chi a.Huchi in Balaam a thou a, a kholam ah a paita: Balak leng a pai sam hi.
25Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
25Huchi in Balaam a thou a, a kholam ah a paita: Balak leng a pai sam hi.
