1At nang makita ni Balaam na kinalugdan ng Panginoon na pagpalain ang Israel, ay hindi naparoon na gaya ng una na kumita ng pamahiin, kundi kaniyang itinitig ang kaniyang mukha sa dakong ilang. 2At itinaas ni Balaam ang kaniyang mga mata, at kaniyang nakita ang Israel na tumatahan ayon sa kanilang mga lipi; at ang Espiritu ng Dios ay sumakaniya. 3At kaniyang ibinadya ang kaniyang talinhaga, at sinabi, Si Balaam na anak ni Beor ay nagsabi, At ang lalaking napikit ang mga mata ay nagsabi; 4Siya'y nagsabi na nakarinig ng mga salita ng Dios, Na nakakita ng pangitain ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat, Na nalulugmok at nakadilat ang kaniyang mga mata: 5Pagka iinam ng iyong mga tolda, Oh Jacob, Ang iyong mga tabernakulo, Oh Israel! 6Gaya ng mga libis na nalalatag, Gaya ng mga halamanan sa tabi ng ilog, Gaya ng linaloes na itinanim ng Panginoon, Gaya ng mga puno ng sedro sa siping ng tubig. 7Tubig ay aagos mula sa kaniyang pang-igib, At ang kaniyang binhi ay matatatag sa maraming tubig, At ang kaniyang hari ay tataas ng higit kay Agag, At ang kaniyang kaharian ay mababantog. 8Dios ang naglalabas sa kaniya sa Egipto; May lakas na gaya ng mabangis na toro: Kaniyang lalamunin ang mga bansa na kaniyang mga kaaway, At kaniyang pagwawaraywarayin ang kanilang mga buto, At palalagpasan sila ng kaniyang mga pana. 9Siya'y yumuko, siya'y lumugmok na parang leon, At parang isang leong babae; sinong gigising sa kaniya? Pagpalain nawa yaong lahat na nagpapala sa iyo, At sumpain yaong lahat na sumusumpa sa iyo. 10At ang galit ni Balac ay nagningas laban kay Balaam, at pinaghampas niya ang kaniyang mga kamay; at sinabi ni Balac kay Balaam, Tinawag kita upang iyong sumpain ang aking mga kaaway, at, narito, iyong binasbasan totoo sila nitong makaitlo. 11Ngayon nga ay tumakas ka sa iyong sariling dako: aking inisip na itaas kita sa dakilang karangalan; nguni't, narito, pinigil ka ng Panginoon sa karangalan. 12At sinabi ni Balaam kay Balac, Di ba sinalita ko rin sa iyong mga sugo na iyong sinugo sa akin, na sinasabi, 13Kahit ibigay sa akin ni Balac ang kaniyang bahay na puno ng pilak at ginto, ay hindi ko masasalangsang ang salita ng Panginoon, na gumawa ako ng mabuti o masama sa aking sariling akala; kung ano nga ang salitain ng Panginoon, ay siya kong sasalitain? 14At ngayon, narito, ako'y paroroon sa aking bayan: parito ka nga, at aking ipahahayag sa iyo ang gagawin ng bayang ito sa iyong bayan sa mga huling araw. 15At kaniyang ibinadya ang kaniyang talinhaga, at sinabi, Nagsabi si Balaam na anak ni Beor, At ang lalaking napikit ang mga mata ay nagsabi; 16Siya'y nagsabi, na nakarinig ng mga salita ng Dios, At nakaalam ng karunungan ng Kataastaasan, Na siyang nakakita ng pangitain ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat, Na nalulugmok at nakadilat ang kaniyang mga mata: 17Aking makikita siya, nguni't hindi ngayon; Aking mapagmamasdan siya, nguni't hindi sa malapit: Lalabas ang isang bituin sa Jacob, At may isang setro na lilitaw sa Israel, At sasaktan ang mga sulok ng Moab, At lilipulin ang lahat ng mga anak ng kaguluhan. 18At ang Edom ay magiging pag-aari niya. Ang Seir man ay magiging pag-aari niya, na siyang dating kaniyang mga kaaway; Samantalang ang Israel ay magpapakatapang. 19At mula sa Jacob ay magkakaroon ng isang may kapangyarihan, At gigibain niya sa bayan ang nalalabi. 20At kaniyang minasdan ang Amalec, at ibinadya ang kaniyang talinhaga, at sinabi, Ang Amalec ay siyang dating panguna sa mga bansa; Nguni't ang kaniyang huling wakas ay mapupuksa. 21At kaniyang minasdan ang Cineo, at ibinadya ang kaniyang talinhaga, at sinabi, Matibay ang iyong dakong tahanan, At ang iyong pugad ay nalalapag sa malaking bato. 22Gayon ma'y mawawasak ang Cain, Hanggang sa ikaw ay madalang bihag ng Assur. 23At kaniyang ibinadya ang kaniyang talinhaga, at sinabi, Ay! sinong mabubuhay pagka ginawa ng Dios ito? 24Datapuwa't ang mga sasakyan ay manggagaling sa baybayin ng Cittim. At kanilang pagdadalamhatiin ang Assur, at kanilang pagdadalamhatiin ang Eber, At siya man ay mapupuksa. 25At si Balaam ay tumindig, at yumaon at bumalik sa kaniyang sariling dako: at si Balac naman ay yumaon ng kaniyang lakad.
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. 2Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him. 3He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says; 4he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open: 5How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your tents, Israel! 6As valleys they are spread out, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which Yahweh has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters. 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. 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. 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.” 10Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times. 11Therefore now flee you to your place! I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, Yahweh has kept you back from honor.” 12Balaam said to Balak, “Didn’t I also tell your messengers who you sent to me, saying, 13‘If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond Yahweh’s word, to do either good or bad of my own mind. I will say what Yahweh says’? 14Now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.” 15He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says; 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: 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. 18Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemies, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly. 19Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.” 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.” 21He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, “Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock. 22Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive.” 23He took up his parable, and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this? 24But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction.” 25Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
1Toen Bileam zag, dat het goed was in de ogen des HEEREN, dat hij Israel zegende, zo ging hij ditmaal niet heen, gelijk meermalen, tot de toverijen; maar hij stelde zijn aangezicht naar de woestijn. 2Als Bileam zijn ogen ophief, en Israel zag, wonende naar zijn stammen, zo was de Geest van God op hem. 3En hij hief zijn spreuk op, en zeide: Bileam, de zoon van Beor, spreekt, en de man, wien de ogen geopend zijn, spreekt! 4De hoorder der redenen Gods spreekt, die het gezicht des Almachtigen ziet; die verrukt wordt, en wien de ogen ontdekt worden! 5Hoe goed zijn uw tenten, Jakob! uw woningen, Israel! 6Gelijk de beken breiden zij zich uit, als de hoven aan de rivieren; de HEERE heeft ze geplant, als de sandelbomen, als de cederbomen aan het water. 7Er zal water uit zijn emmeren vloeien, en zijn zaad zal in vele wateren zijn; en zijn koning zal boven Agag verheven worden, en zijn koninkrijk zal verhoogd worden. 8God heeft hem uit Egypte uitgevoerd; zijn krachten zijn als van een eenhoorn; hij zal de heidenen, zijn vijanden, verteren, en hun gebeente breken, en met zijn pijlen doorschieten. 9Hij heeft zich gekromd, hij heeft zich nedergelegd, gelijk een leeuw, en als een oude leeuw; wie zal hem doen opstaan? Zo wie u zegent, die zij gezegend, en vervloekt zij, wie u vervloekt! 10Toen ontstak de toorn van Balak tegen Bileam, en hij sloeg zijn handen samen; en Balak zeide tot Bileam: Ik heb u geroepen, om mijn vijanden te vloeken; maar zie, gij hebt hen nu driemaal gedurig gezegend! 11En nu, pak u weg naar uw plaats! Ik had gezegd, dat ik u hoog vereren zou; maar zie, de HEERE heeft u die eer van u geweerd! 12Toen zeide Bileam tot Balak: Heb ik ook niet tot uw boden, die gij tot mij gezonden hebt, gesproken, zeggende: 13Wanneer mij Balak zijn huis vol zilver en goud gave, zo kan ik het bevel des HEEREN niet overtreden, doende goed of kwaad uit mijn eigen hart; wat de HEERE spreken zal, dat zal ik spreken. 14En nu, zie, ik ga tot mijn volk; kom, ik zal u raad geven, en zeggen wat dit volk uw volk doen zal in de laatste dagen. 15Toen hief hij zijn spreuk op, en zeide: Bileam, de zoon van Beor, spreekt, en die man, wien de ogen geopend zijn, spreekt! 16De hoorder der redenen Gods spreekt, en die de wetenschap des Allerhoogsten weet; die het gezicht des Almachtigen ziet, die verrukt wordt, en wien de ogen ontdekt worden. 17Ik zal hem zien, maar nu niet; ik aanschouw Hem, maar niet nabij. Er zal een ster voortkomen uit Jakob, en er zal een scepter uit Israel opkomen; die zal de palen der Moabieten verslaan, en zal al de kinderen van Seth verstoren. 18En Edom zal een erfelijke bezitting zijn; en Seir zal zijn vijanden een erfelijke bezitting zijn; doch Israel zal kracht doen. 19En er zal een uit Jakob heersen, en hij zal de overigen uit de steden ombrengen. 20Toen hij de Amalekieten zag, zo hief hij zijn spreuk op, en zeide: Amalek is de eersteling der heidenen; maar zijn uiterste is ten verderve! 21Toen hij de Kenieten zag, zo hief hij zijn spreuk op, en zeide: Uw woning is vast, en gij hebt uw nest in een steenrots gelegd. 22Evenwel zal Kain verteerd worden, totdat u Assur gevankelijk wegvoeren zal! 23Voorts hief hij zijn spreuk op, en zeide: Och, wie zal leven, als God dit doen zal! 24En de schepen van den oever der Chitteers, die zullen Assur plagen, zij zullen ook Heber plagen; en hij zal ook ten verderve zijn. 25Toen stond Bileam op, en ging heen, en keerde weder tot zijn plaats. Balak ging ook zijn weg.
