Números 24

BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Vio Balaam que agradaba a Yahveh bendecir a Israel, y ya no fue como las otras veces al encuentro de los augurios, sino que se volvió cara al desierto.	1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2 Y al alzar los ojos, vio Balaam a Israel acampado por tribus. Y le invadió el espíritu de Dios.	2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
3 Entonó su trova y dijo: «Oráculo de Balaam, hijo de Beor, oráculo del varón clarividente.	3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
4 Oráculo del que oye los dichos de Dios, del que ve la visión de Sadday del que obtiene respuesta, y se le abren los ojos.	4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
5 ¡Qué hermosas son tus tiendas, Jacob, y tus moradas, Israel!	5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
6 Como valles espaciosos, como jardines a la vera del río, como áloes que plantó Yahveh, como cedros a la orilla de las aguas.	6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
7 Sale un héroe de su descendencia, domina sobre pueblos numerosos. Se alza su rey por encima de Agag, se alza su reinado.	7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8 Dios le hace salir de Egipto, como cuernos de búfalo es para él. Devora el cadáver de sus enemigos y les quebranta los huesos.	8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
9 Se agacha, se acuesta, como león, como leona, ¿quién le hará levantar? ¡Bendito el que te bendiga! ¡Maldito el que te maldiga!»	9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
10 Se enfureció Balaq contra Balaam, palmoteó fuertemente, y dijo a Balaam: «Te he llamado para maldecir a mis enemigos y he aquí que los has llenado de bendiciones ya por tercera vez.	10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
11 Lárgate ya a tu tierra. Te dije que te colmaría de honores, pero Yahveh te ha privado de ellos.»	11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
12 Respondió Balaam a Balaq: «¿No les dije yo a los mensajeros que me enviaste:	12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
13 “Aunque me diera Balaq su casa llena de plata y oro, no podría salirme de la orden de Yahveh, ni hacer por mi cuenta nada, bueno ni malo; lo que me diga Yahveh, eso es lo que diré?”	13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
14 Ahora, pues, que me marcho a mi pueblo, ven, que te voy a anunciar lo que hará este pueblo al cabo del tiempo.»	14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15 Entonó su trova y dijo: «Oráculo de Balaam, hijo de Beor, oráculo del varón clarividente.	15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
16 oráculo del que escucha los dichos de Dios, del que conoce la ciencia del Altísimo; del que ve lo que le hace ver Sadday, del que obtiene la respuesta, y se le abren los ojos.	16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
17 Lo veo, aunque no para ahora, lo diviso, pero no de cerca: de Jacob avanza una estrella, un cetro surge de Israel. Aplasta las sienes de Moab, el cráneo de todos los hijos de Set.	17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
18 Será Edom tierra conquistada, tierra conquistada Seír. Israel despliega su poder,	18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19 Jacob domina a sus enemigos, aniquila a los fugitivos de Ar.»	19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
20 Vio Balaam a Amalec, entonó su trova y dijo: «Primicias de las naciones, Amalec; pero al cabo perecerá para siempre.»	20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
21 Vio luego a los quenitas, entonó su trova y dijo: «Firme es tu morada, Caín, en la peña está puesto tu nido.	21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
22 Pero el nido es de Beor; ¿hasta cuándo te tendrá cautivo Asur?	22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
23 Entonó luego su trova y dijo: Pueblos del Mar reviven por el Norte,	23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
24 barcos por el lado de Kittim. Oprimen a Asur, oprimen a Héber; también él perecerá para siempre.»	24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
25 Luego se levantó Balaam, y se fue de vuelta a su país. También Balaq se fue por su camino.	25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
