Numbers 23

Ary hoy Balama tamin'i Balaka: Manorena alitara fito eto ho ahy, ka manamboara vantotr'ombilahy fito sy ondrilahy fito.

And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.

Dia narahin'i Balaka izay efa nolazain'i Balama; ary Balaka sy Balama nanatitra vantotr'ombilahy sy ondrilahy iray avy teo ambonin'ny isan'alitara.

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

Dia hoy Balama tamin'i Balaka: Mitoera eto anilan'ny fanatitra doranao, fa izaho kosa handeha; angamba ho avy hihaona amiko Jehovah; ary izay hasehony amiko dia hambarako aminao. Ary lasa nankany amin'ny tendrombohitra anankiray mangadihady izy.

And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.

Ary Andriamanitra dia nihaona tamin'i Balama; ary hoy Balama taminy: Ny alitara fito dia efa namboariko, ary efa nanatitra vantotr'ombilahy sy ondrilahy iray avy teo ambonin'ny isan'alitara aho.

And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.

Ary Jehovah nanisy teny teo am-bavan'i Balama ka nanao hoe: Miverena any amin'i Balaka, ary izany no holazainao.

And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

Dia niverina tany amin'i Balaka izy, ary, indreo, teo anilan'ny fanatitra dorany izy sy ireo andriandahin'i Moaba rehetra.

And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.

Dia nanao oha-teny Balama ka nilaza hoe: Balaka nampaka ahy avy tany Arama, Ny mpanjakan'i Moaba nampaka ahy avy tany amin'ny tendrombohitra atsinanana: Avia, ka ozòny ho ahy Jakoba; ary mankanesa atỳ, ka sahatoy ny Isiraely.

And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.

Hataoko ahoana no fanozona izay tsy nozonin'Andriamanitra? Ary hataoko ahoana no fisahato izay tsy nosahatoin'i Jehovah?

How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?

Fa eto an-tampon'ny vatolampy no ahitako azy, ary eto amin'ny havoana no itazanako azy; indro, firenena mitoka-monina izy, ary tsy hatao ho isan'ny jentilisa.

For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

Iza no mahisa ny vovok'i Jakoba, na ny isan'ny ampahefatry ny Isiraely? Aoka ho tahaka ny fahafatesan'ny olo-marina ny fahafatesako, ary aoka ny hiafarako ho tahaka ny azy!

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

Dia hoy Balaka tamin'i Balama: Ahoana izao nataonao tamiko izao? Hanozona ny fahavaloko no nangalako anao, kanjo nitso-drano dia nitso-drano azy kosa ianao.

And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.

Dia namaly izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy hotandremako va ny hilaza izay ataon'i Jehovah eto am-bavako?

And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?

Dia hoy Balaka taminy: Andeha mba hiaraka amiko ho any amin'ny tany hafa izay hahitanao azy; kanefa ny sisiny ihany no ho hitanao eo, fa tsy ho hitanao avokoa izy rehetra; ka ozòny ho ahy ao izy.

And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.

Dia nitondra azy tao an-tsaha Zofima izy, tao an-tampon'i Pisga; ary nanorina alitara fito izy ka nanatitra vantotr'ombilahy sy ondrilahy iray avy teo ambonin'ny isan'alitara.

And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.

Dia hoy izy tamin'i Balaka: Mitoera eto anilan'ny fanatitra doranao, fa izaho hankerỳ hihaona amin'i Jehovah.

And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.

Ary Jehovah nihaona tamin'i Balama, dia nanisy teny teo am-bavany ka nanao hoe: Miverena mankeo amin'i Balaka ary izany no holazainao.

And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.

Ary nony tonga tany aminy izy, dia, indreo, teo anilan'ny fanatitra dorany izy sy ireo andriandahin'i Moaba izay teo aminy. Dia hoy Balaka taminy: Ahoana no nolazain'i Jehovah?

And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?

Dia nanao oha-teny Balama ka nilaza hoe: Mitsangàna,, ry Balaka, ka mandrenesa; Atongilano amiko ny sofinao, ry zanak'i Zipora;

And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:

Andriamanitra tsy mba olona ka handainga, na zanak'olombelona ka hanenina; moa efa nilaza va Izy, ka tsy hefainy? na efa niteny va Izy, ka tsy hotoviny?

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Indro, ny hitahy no efa azoko; ary efa nitahy Izy, ka tsy mahova izany aho.

Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

Tsy mijery faharatsiana eo amin'i Jakoba Izy. Ary tsy mahita fahoriana eo amin'ny Isiraely; Jehovah Andriamaniny no nomba azy, Ary hoby fanao amin'andriana no re eo aminy.

He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.

Nentin'Andriamanitra nivoaka avy tany Egypta izy, ary manan-kery toy ny ombimanga,

God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.

Fa tsy misy fisikidianana eo amin'i Jakoba, ary tsy misy fankatovana eo amin'Isiraely. Fa amin'ny fotoana no hilazana amin'i Jakoba sy Isiraely izay efa nataon'i Jehovah.

Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

Indro, firenena mitsangana toy ny liom-bavy sy miarina toy ny liona; tsy handry izy mandra-pihinany toha sy mandra-pisotrony ny ran'ny voavono.

Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.

Dia hoy Balaka tamin'i Balama: Aza manozona na mitso-drano azy akory

And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

Fa namaly kosa Balama ka nanao tamin'i Balaka hoe; Tsy efa nilaza taminao va aho ka nanao hoe: Izay rehetra holazain'i Jehovah, izany no hataoko?

But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?

Dia hoy Balaka tamin'i Balama: Andeha ho entiko any amin'izay tany hafa ianao; angamba ho sitrak'Andriamanitra ny hanozonanao azy any ho ahy.

And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.

Ary Balama dia nentin'i Balaka ho ao an-tampon'i Peora, izay manatrika ny efitra.

And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.

Dia hoy Balama tamin'i Balaka: Manorena alitara fito eto ho ahy, ka manamboara vantotr'ombilahy fito sy ondrilahy fito.

And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

Ary Balaka dia nanao araka izay efa nolazain'i Balama ka nanatitra vantotr'ombilahy, sy ondrilahy iray avy teo ambonin'ny isan'alitara.

And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
