民數記 24

巴蘭見耶和華喜歡賜福與以色列，就不像前兩次去求法術，卻面向曠野。

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.

巴蘭舉目，看見以色列人照着支派居住。上帝的靈就臨到他身上，

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.

他便題起詩歌說： 比珥的兒子巴蘭說， 眼目閉住 的人說，

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;

得聽上帝的言語， 得見全能者的異象， 眼目睜開而仆倒的人說：

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，你的帳棚何等華美！ 以色列啊，你的帳幕何其華麗！

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!

如接連的山谷， 如河旁的園子， 如耶和華所栽的沉香樹， 如水邊的香柏木。

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.

水要從他的桶裏流出； 種子要撒在多水之處。 他的王必超過亞甲； 他的國必要振興。

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.

上帝領他出埃及； 他似乎有野牛之力。 他要吞吃敵國， 折斷他們的骨頭， 用箭射透他們。

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.

他蹲如公獅， 臥如母獅，誰敢惹他？ 凡給你祝福的，願他蒙福； 凡咒詛你的，願他受咒詛。

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.”

巴勒向巴蘭生氣，就拍起手來，對巴蘭說：「我召你來為我咒詛仇敵，不料，你這三次竟為他們祝福。

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！我想使你得大尊榮，耶和華卻阻止你不得尊榮。」

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.”

巴蘭對巴勒說：「我豈不是對你所差遣到我那裏的使者說：

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,

『巴勒就是將他滿屋的金銀給我，我也不得越過耶和華的命，憑自己的心意行好行歹。耶和華說甚麼，我就要說甚麼』？」

『 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’?

「現在我要回本族去。你來，我告訴你這民日後要怎樣待你的民。」

「 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.”

他就題起詩歌說： 比珥的兒子巴蘭說： 眼目閉住 的人說，

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;

得聽上帝的言語， 明白至高者的意旨， 看見全能者的異象， 眼目睜開而仆倒的人說：

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:

我看他卻不在現時； 我望他卻不在近日。 有星要出於雅各，有杖要興於以色列， 必打破摩押的四角，毀壞擾亂之子。

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.

他必得以東為基業， 又得仇敵之地西珥為產業； 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.

有一位出於雅各的，必掌大權； 他要除滅城中的餘民。

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.”

巴蘭觀看亞瑪力，就題起詩歌說： 亞瑪力原為諸國之首， 但他終必沉淪。

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.”

巴蘭觀看基尼人，就題起詩歌說： 你的住處本是堅固； 你的窩巢做在巖穴中。

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， 直到亞述把你擄去。

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.”

巴蘭又題起詩歌說： 哀哉！上帝行這事，誰能得活？

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?

必有人乘船從基提界而來， 苦害亞述，苦害希伯； 他也必至沉淪。

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.”

於是巴蘭起來，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.
