Numbers 23

巴兰对巴勒说：「你在这里给我筑七座坛，为我预备七只公牛，七只公羊。」

bā lán duì bā lè shuō ：「 nǐ zài zhè lǐ gěi wǒ zhù qī zuò tán ， wèi wǒ yù bèi qī zhī gōng niú ， qī zhī gōng yáng 。」

Balaam said to Balak, “Build here seven altars for me, and prepare here seven bulls and seven rams for me.”

巴勒照巴兰的话行了。巴勒和巴兰在每座坛上献一只公牛，一只公羊。

bā lè zhào bā lán de huà xíng le 。 bā lè hé bā lán zài měi zuò tán shàng xiàn yì zhī gōng niú ， yì zhī gōng yáng 。

Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.

巴兰对巴勒说：「你站在你的燔祭旁边，我且往前去，或者耶和华来迎见我。他指示我什么，我必告诉你。」于是巴兰上一净光的高处。

bā lán duì bā lè shuō ：「 nǐ zhàn zài nǐ de fán jì páng biān ， wǒ qiě wǎng qián qù ， huò zhě yē hé huá lái yíng jiàn wǒ 。 tā zhǐ shì wǒ shén me ， wǒ bì gào sù nǐ 。」 yú shì bā lán shàng yí jìng guāng de gāo chù 。

Balaam said to Balak, “Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps the LORD will come to meet me. Whatever he shows me I will tell you.” He went to a bare height.

神迎见巴兰；巴兰说：「我预备了七座坛，在每座坛上献了一只公牛，一只公羊。」

shén yíng jiàn bā lán ； bā lán shuō ：「 wǒ yù bèi le qī zuò tán ， zài měi zuò tán shàng xiàn le yì zhī gōng niú ， yì zhī gōng yáng 。」

God met Balaam, and he said to him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.”

耶和华将话传给巴兰，又说：「你回到巴勒那里，要如此如此说。」

yē hé huá jiāng huà chuán gěi bā lán ， yòu shuō ：「 nǐ huí dào bā lè nà lǐ ， yào rú cǐ rú cǐ shuō 。」

The LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”

他就回到巴勒那里，见他同摩押的使臣都站在燔祭旁边。

tā jiù huí dào bā lè nà lǐ ， jiàn tā tóng mó yā de shǐ chén dōu zhàn zài fán jì páng biān 。

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

巴兰便题起诗歌说： 巴勒引我出亚兰， 摩押王引我出东山，说： 来啊，为我咒诅雅各； 来啊，怒骂以色列。

bā lán biàn tí qǐ shī gē shuō ： bā lè yǐn wǒ chū yà lán ， mó yā wáng yǐn wǒ chū dōng shān ， shuō ： lái a ， wèi wǒ zhòu zǔ yǎ gè ； lái a ， nù mà yǐ sè liè 。

He took up his parable, and said, “From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.

神没有咒诅的，我焉能咒诅？ 耶和华没有怒骂的，我焉能怒骂？

shén méi yǒu zhòu zǔ de ， wǒ yān néng zhòu zǔ ？ yē hé huá méi yǒu nù mà de ， wǒ yān néng nù mà ？

How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy whom the LORD has not defied?

我从高峰看他，从小山望他； 这是独居的民，不列在万民中。

wǒ cóng gāo fēng kàn tā ， cóng xiǎo shān wàng tā ； zhè shì dú jū de mín ， bú liè zài wàn mín zhōng 。

For from the top of the rocks I see him. From the hills I see him. Behold, it is a people that dwells alone, and shall not be listed among the nations.

谁能数点雅各的尘土？ 谁能计算以色列的四分之一？ 我愿如义人之死而死； 我愿如义人之终而终。

shuí néng shù diǎn yǎ gè de chén tǔ ？ shuí néng jì suàn yǐ sè liè de sì fēn zhī yī ？ wǒ yuàn rú yì rén zhī sǐ ér sǐ ； wǒ yuàn rú yì rén zhī zhōng ér zhōng 。

Who can count the dust of Jacob, or count the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous! Let my last end be like his!”

巴勒对巴兰说：「你向我做的是什么事呢？我领你来咒诅我的仇敌，不料，你竟为他们祝福。」

bā lè duì bā lán shuō ：「 nǐ xiàng wǒ zuò de shì shén me shì ne ？ wǒ lǐng nǐ lái zhòu zǔ wǒ de chóu dí ， bú liào ， nǐ jìng wèi tā men zhù fú 。」

Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.”

他回答说：「耶和华传给我的话，我能不谨慎传说吗？」

tā huí dá shuō ：「 yē hé huá chuán gěi wǒ de huà ， wǒ néng bù jǐn shèn chuán shuō ma ？」

He answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD puts in my mouth?”

巴勒说：「求你同我往别处去，在那里可以看见他们；你不能全看见，只能看见他们边界上的人。在那里要为我咒诅他们。」

bā lè shuō ：「 qiú nǐ tóng wǒ wǎng bié chù qù ， zài nà lǐ kě yǐ kàn jiàn tā men ； nǐ bù néng quán kàn jiàn ， zhǐ néng kàn jiàn tā men biān jiè shàng de rén 。 zài nà lǐ yào wèi wǒ zhòu zǔ tā men 。」

Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.”

于是领巴兰到了琐腓田，上了毗斯迦山顶，筑了七座坛；每座坛上献一只公牛，一只公羊。

yú shì lǐng bā lán dào le suǒ féi tián ， shàng le pí sī jiā shān dǐng ， zhù le qī zuò tán ； měi zuò tán shàng xiàn yì zhī gōng niú ， yì zhī gōng yáng 。

He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

巴兰对巴勒说：「你站在这燔祭旁边，等我往那边去迎见耶和华。」

bā lán duì bā lè shuō ：「 nǐ zhàn zài zhè fán jì páng biān ， děng wǒ wǎng nà biān qù yíng jiàn yē hé huá 。」

He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”

耶和华临到巴兰那里，将话传给他；又说：「你回到巴勒那里，要如此如此说。」

yē hé huá lín dào bā lán nà lǐ ， jiāng huà chuán gěi tā ； yòu shuō ：「 nǐ huí dào bā lè nà lǐ ， yào rú cǐ rú cǐ shuō 。」

The LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and say this.”

他就回到巴勒那里，见他站在燔祭旁边；摩押的使臣也和他在一处。巴勒问他说：「耶和华说了什么话呢？」

tā jiù huí dào bā lè nà lǐ ， jiàn tā zhàn zài fán jì páng biān ； mó yā de shǐ chén yě hé tā zài yí chù 。 bā lè wèn tā shuō ：「 yē hé huá shuō le shén me huà ne ？」

He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, “What has the LORD spoken?”

巴兰就题诗歌说： 巴勒，你起来听； 西拨的儿子，你听我言。

bā lán jiù tí shī gē shuō ： bā lè ， nǐ qǐ lái tīng ； xī bō de ér zi ， nǐ tīng wǒ yán 。

He took up his parable, and said, “Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, you son of Zippor.

神非人，必不致说谎， 也非人子，必不致后悔。 他说话岂不照着行呢？ 他发言岂不要成就呢？

shén fēi rén ， bì bú zhì shuō huǎng ， yě fēi rén zǐ ， bì bú zhì hòu huǐ 。 tā shuō huà qǐ bú zhào zhe xíng ne ？ tā fā yán qǐ bú yào chéng jiù ne ？

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and he won’t do it? Or has he spoken, and he won’t make it good?

我奉命祝福； 神也曾赐福，此事我不能翻转。

wǒ fèng mìng zhù fú ； shén yě céng cì fú ， cǐ shì wǒ bù néng fān zhuǎn 。

Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can’t reverse it.

他未见雅各中有罪孽， 也未见以色列中有奸恶。 耶和华—他的 神和他同在； 有欢呼王的声音在他们中间。

tā wèi jiàn yǎ gè zhōng yǒu zuì niè ， yě wèi jiàn yǐ sè liè zhōng yǒu jiān è 。 yē hé huá — tā de shén hé tā tóng zài ； yǒu huān hū wáng de shēng yīn zài tā men zhōng jiān 。

He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. The LORD his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.

神领他们出埃及； 他们似乎有野牛之力。

shén lǐng tā men chū āi jí ； tā men sì hū yǒu yě niú zhī lì 。

God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.

断没有法术可以害雅各， 也没有占卜可以害以色列。 现在必有人论及雅各，就是论及以色列说： 神为他行了何等的大事！

duàn méi yǒu fǎ shù kě yǐ hài yǎ gè ， yě méi yǒu zhān bǔ kě yǐ hài yǐ sè liè 。 xiàn zài bì yǒu rén lùn jí yǎ gè ， jiù shì lùn jí yǐ sè liè shuō ： shén wèi tā xíng le hé děng de dà shì ！

Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What has God done!’

这民起来，仿佛母狮， 挺身，好像公狮， 未曾吃野食， 未曾喝被伤者之血，决不躺卧。

zhè mín qǐ lái ， fǎng fú mǔ shī ， tǐng shēn ， hǎo xiàng gōng shī ， wèi céng chī yě shí ， wèi céng hē bèi shāng zhě zhī xuè ， jué bù tǎng wò 。

Behold, a people rises up as a lioness. As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”

巴勒对巴兰说：「你一点不要咒诅他们，也不要为他们祝福。」

bā lè duì bā lán shuō ：「 nǐ yì diǎn bú yào zhòu zǔ tā men ， yě bú yào wèi tā men zhù fú 。」

Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”

巴兰回答巴勒说：「我岂不是告诉你说『凡耶和华所说的，我必须遵行』吗？」

bā lán huí dá bā lè shuō ：「 wǒ qǐ bú shì gào sù nǐ shuō 『 fán yē hé huá suǒ shuō de ， wǒ bì xū zūn xíng 』 ma ？」

But Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that the LORD speaks, that I must do’?”

巴勒对巴兰说：「来吧，我领你往别处去，或者 神喜欢你在那里为我咒诅他们。」

bā lè duì bā lán shuō ：「 lái ba ， wǒ lǐng nǐ wǎng bié chù qù ， huò zhě shén xǐ huan nǐ zài nà lǐ wèi wǒ zhòu zǔ tā men 。」

Balak said to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”

巴勒就领巴兰到那下望旷野的毗珥山顶上。

bā lè jiù lǐng bā lán dào nà xià wàng kuàng yě de pí ěr shān dǐng shàng 。

Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert.

巴兰对巴勒说：「你在这里为我筑七座坛，又在这里为我预备七只公牛，七只公羊。」

bā lán duì bā lè shuō ：「 nǐ zài zhè lǐ wèi wǒ zhù qī zuò tán ， yòu zài zhè lǐ wèi wǒ yù bèi qī zhī gōng niú ， qī zhī gōng yáng 。」

Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.”

巴勒就照巴兰的话行，在每座坛上献一只公牛，一只公羊。

bā lè jiù zhào bā lán de huà xíng ， zài měi zuò tán shàng xiàn yì zhī gōng niú ， yì zhī gōng yáng 。

Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
