Numbers 24

巴兰见耶和华喜欢赐福与以色列，就不像前两次去求法术，却面向旷野。

bā lán jiàn yē hé huá xǐ huān cì fú yǔ yǐ sè liè ， jiù bú xiàng qián liǎng cì qù qiú fǎ shù ， què miàn xiàng kuàng yě 。

When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he didn’t go, as at the other times, to use divination, but he set his face toward the wilderness.

巴兰举目，看见以色列人照着支派居住。 神的灵就临到他身上，

bā lán jǔ mù ， kàn jiàn yǐ sè liè rén zhào zhe zhī pài jū zhù 。 shén de líng jiù lín dào tā shēn shàng ，

Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.

他便题起诗歌说： 比珥的儿子巴兰说， 眼目闭住 的人说，

tā biàn tí qǐ shī gē shuō ： bǐ ěr de ér zi bā lán shuō ， yǎn mù bì zhù de rén shuō ，

He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;

得听 神的言语， 得见全能者的异象， 眼目睁开而仆倒的人说：

dé tīng shén de yán yǔ ， dé jiàn quán néng zhě de yì xiàng ， yǎn mù zhēng kāi ér pú dǎo de rén shuō ：

he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:

雅各啊，你的帐棚何等华美！ 以色列啊，你的帐幕何其华丽！

yǎ gè a ， nǐ de zhàng péng hé děng huá měi ！ yǐ sè liè a ， nǐ de zhàng mù hé qí huá lì ！

How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your dwellings, Israel!

如接连的山谷， 如河旁的园子， 如耶和华所栽的沉香树， 如水边的香柏木。

rú jiē lián de shān gǔ ， rú hé páng de yuán zǐ ， rú yē hé huá suǒ zāi de chén xiāng shù ， rú shuǐ biān de xiāng bǎi mù 。

As valleys they are spread out, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which the LORD has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.

水要从他的桶里流出； 种子要撒在多水之处。 他的王必超过亚甲； 他的国必要振兴。

shuǐ yào cóng tā de tǒng lǐ liú chū ； zhǒng zi yào sā zài duō shuǐ zhī chù 。 tā de wáng bì chāo guò yà jiǎ ； tā de guó bì yào zhèn xīng 。

Water shall flow from his buckets. His seed shall be in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag. His kingdom shall be exalted.

神领他出埃及； 他似乎有野牛之力。 他要吞吃敌国， 折断他们的骨头， 用箭射透他们。

shén lǐng tā chū āi jí ； tā sì hū yǒu yě niú zhī lì 。 tā yào tūn chī dí guó ， zhé duàn tā men de gǔ tou ， yòng jiàn shè tòu tā men 。

God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall consume the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows.

他蹲如公狮， 卧如母狮，谁敢惹他？ 凡给你祝福的，愿他蒙福； 凡咒诅你的，愿他受咒诅。

tā dūn rú gōng shī ， wò rú mǔ shī ， shuí gǎn rě tā ？ fán gěi nǐ zhù fú de ， yuàn tā méng fú ； fán zhòu zǔ nǐ de ， yuàn tā shòu zhòu zǔ 。

He 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.”

巴勒向巴兰生气，就拍起手来，对巴兰说：「我召你来为我咒诅仇敌，不料，你这三次竟为他们祝福。

bā lè xiàng bā lán shēng qì ， jiù pāi qǐ shǒu lái ， duì bā lán shuō ：「 wǒ zhào nǐ lái wèi wǒ zhòu zǔ chóu dí ， bú liào ， nǐ zhè sān cì jìng wèi tā men zhù fú 。

Balak’s anger burned 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.

如今你快回本地去吧！我想使你得大尊荣，耶和华却阻止你不得尊荣。」

rú jīn nǐ kuài huí běn dì qù ba ！ wǒ xiǎng shǐ nǐ dé dà zūn róng ， yē hé huá què zǔ zhǐ nǐ bù dé zūn róng 。」

Therefore, flee to your place, now! I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, the LORD has kept you back from honor.”

巴兰对巴勒说：「我岂不是对你所差遣到我那里的使者说：

bā lán duì bā lè shuō ：「 wǒ qǐ bú shì duì nǐ suǒ chāi qiǎn dào wǒ nà lǐ de shǐ zhě shuō ：

Balaam said to Balak, “Didn’t I also tell your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,

『巴勒就是将他满屋的金银给我，我也不得越过耶和华的命，凭自己的心意行好行歹。耶和华说什么，我就要说什么』？」

『 bā lè jiù shì jiāng tā mǎn wū de jīn yín gěi wǒ ， wǒ yě bù dé yuè guò yē hé huá de mìng ， píng zì jǐ de xīn yì xíng hǎo xíng dǎi 。 yē hé huá shuō shén me ， wǒ jiù yào shuō shén me 』？」

‘If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the LORD’s word, to do either good or bad from my own mind. I will say what the LORD says’?

「现在我要回本族去。你来，我告诉你这民日后要怎样待你的民。」

「 xiàn zài wǒ yào huí běn zú qù 。 nǐ lái ， wǒ gào sù nǐ zhè mín rì hòu yào zěn yàng dài nǐ de mín 。」

Now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.”

他就题起诗歌说： 比珥的儿子巴兰说： 眼目闭住 的人说，

tā jiù tí qǐ shī gē shuō ： bǐ ěr de ér zi bā lán shuō ： yǎn mù bì zhù de rén shuō ，

He took up his parable, and said, “Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;

得听 神的言语， 明白至高者的意旨， 看见全能者的异象， 眼目睁开而仆倒的人说：

dé tīng shén de yán yǔ ， míng bái zhì gāo zhě de yì zhǐ ， kàn jiàn quán néng zhě de yì xiàng ， yǎn mù zhēng kāi ér pú dǎo de rén shuō ：

he 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:

我看他却不在现时； 我望他却不在近日。 有星要出于雅各，有杖要兴于以色列， 必打破摩押的四角，毁坏扰乱之子。

wǒ kàn tā què bú zài xiàn shí ； wǒ wàng tā què bú zài jìn rì 。 yǒu xīng yào chū yú yǎ gè ， yǒu zhàng yào xīng yú yǐ sè liè ， bì dǎ pò mó yā de sì jiǎo ， huǐ huài rǎo luàn zhī zǐ 。

I 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 crush all the sons of Sheth.

他必得以东为基业， 又得仇敌之地西珥为产业； 以色列必行事勇敢。

tā bì dé yǐ dōng wèi jī yè ， yòu dé chóu dí zhī dì xī ěr wèi chǎn yè ； yǐ sè liè bì xíng shì yǒng gǎn 。

Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemy, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.

有一位出于雅各的，必掌大权； 他要除灭城中的余民。

yǒu yí wèi chū yú yǎ gè de ， bì zhǎng dà quán ； tā yào chú miè chéng zhōng de yú mín 。

Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.”

巴兰观看亚玛力，就题起诗歌说： 亚玛力原为诸国之首， 但他终必沉沦。

bā lán guān kàn yà mǎ lì ， jiù tí qǐ shī gē shuō ： yà mǎ lì yuán wèi zhū guó zhī shǒu ， dàn tā zhōng bì chén lún 。

He 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.”

巴兰观看基尼人，就题起诗歌说： 你的住处本是坚固； 你的窝巢做在岩穴中。

bā lán guān kàn jī ní rén ， jiù tí qǐ shī gē shuō ： nǐ de zhù chù běn shì jiān gù ； nǐ de wō cháo zuò zài yán xué zhōng 。

He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, “Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.

然而基尼必至衰微， 直到亚述把你掳去。

rán ér jī ní bì zhì shuāi wēi ， zhí dào yà shù bǎ nǐ lǔ qù 。

Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive.”

巴兰又题起诗歌说： 哀哉！ 神行这事，谁能得活？

bā lán yòu tí qǐ shī gē shuō ： āi zāi ！ shén xíng zhè shì ， shuí néng dé huó ？

He took up his parable, and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this?

必有人乘船从基提界而来， 苦害亚述，苦害希伯； 他也必至沉沦。

bì yǒu rén chéng chuán cóng jī tí jiè ér lái ， kǔ hài yà shù ， kǔ hài xī bó ； tā yě bì zhì chén lún 。

But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction.”

于是巴兰起来，回他本地去；巴勒也回去了。

yú shì bā lán qǐ lái ， huí tā běn dì qù ； bā lè yě huí qù le 。

Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
