New American Bible	Bibbia Vulgata Clementina
¹ Balaam, however, perceiving that the LORD was pleased to bless Israel, did not go aside as before to seek omens, but turned his gaze toward the desert.	¹ Cumque vidisset Balaam quod placeret Domino ut benediceret Israëli, nequaquam abiit ut ante perrexerat, ut augurium quæreret : sed dirigens contra desertum vultum suum,
² When he raised his eyes and saw Israel encamped, tribe by tribe, the spirit of God came upon him,	² et elevans oculos, vidit Israël in tentoriis commorantem per tribus suas : et irruente in se spiritu Dei,
³ and he gave voice to his oracle: The utterance of Balaam, son of Beor, the utterance of the man whose eye is true,	³ assumpta parabola, ait : Dixit Balaam filius Beor : dixit homo, cujus obturatus est oculus :
⁴ The utterance of one who hears what God says, and knows what the Most High knows, Of one who sees what the Almighty sees, enraptured, and with eyes unveiled:	⁴ dixit auditor sermonum Dei, qui visionem Omnipotentis intuitus est, qui cadit, et sic aperiuntur oculi ejus :
⁵ How goodly are your tents, O Jacob; your encampments, O Israel!	⁵ Quam pulchra tabernacula tua, Jacob, et tentoria tua, Israël !
⁶ They are like gardens beside a stream, like the cedars planted by the LORD.	⁶ ut valles nemorosæ, ut horti juxta fluvios irrigui, ut tabernacula quæ fixit Dominus, quasi cedri prope aquas.
⁷ His wells shall yield free-flowing waters, he shall have the sea within reach; His king shall rise higher than. . . . and his royalty shall be exalted.	⁷ Fluet aqua de situla ejus, et semen illius erit in aquas multas. Tolletur propter Agag, rex ejus, et auferetur regnum illius.
⁸ It is God who brought him out of Egypt, a wild bull of towering might. He shall devour the nations like grass, their bones he shall strip bare.	⁸ Deus eduxit illum de Ægypto, cujus fortitudo similis est rhinocerotis. Devorabunt gentes hostes illius, ossaque eorum confringent, et perforabunt sagittis.
⁹ He lies crouching like a lion, or like a lioness; who shall arouse him? Blessed is he who blesses you, and cursed is he who curses you!	⁹ Accubans dormivit ut leo, et quasi leæna, quam suscitare nullus audebit. Qui benedixerit tibi, erit et ipse benedictus : qui maledixerit, in maledictione reputabitur.
¹⁰ Balak beat his palms together in a blaze of anger at Balaam and said to him, "It was to curse my foes that I summoned you here; yet three times now you have even blessed them instead!	¹⁰ Iratusque Balac contra Balaam, complosis manibus ait : Ad maledicendum inimicis meis vocavi te, quibus e contrario tertio benedixisti :
¹¹ Be off at once, then, to your home. I promised to reward you richly, but the LORD has withheld the reward from you!"	¹¹ revertere ad locum tuum. Decreveram quidem magnifice honorare te, sed Dominus privavit te honore disposito.
¹² Balaam replied to Balak, "Did I not warn the very messengers whom you sent to me,	¹² Respondit Balaam ad Balac : Nonne nuntiis tuis, quos misisti ad me, dixi :
¹³ 'Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, I could not of my own accord to anything, good or evil, contrary to the command of the LORD'? Whatever the LORD says I must repeat.	¹³ Si dederit mihi Balac plenam domum suam argenti et auri, non potero præterire sermonem Domini Dei mei, ut vel boni quid vel mali proferam ex corde meo : sed quidquid Dominus dixerit, hoc loquar ?
¹⁴ "But now that I am about to go to my own people, let me first warn you what this people will do to your people in the days to come."	¹⁴ verumtamen pergens ad populum meum, dabo consilium, quid populus tuus populo huic faciat extremo tempore.
¹⁵ Then Balaam gave voice to his oracle: The utterance of Balaam, son of Beor, the utterance of the man whose eye is true,	¹⁵ Sumpta igitur parabola, rursum ait : Dixit Balaam filius Beor : dixit homo, cujus obturatus est oculus :
¹⁶ The utterance of one who hears what God says, and knows what the Most High knows, Of one who sees what the Almighty sees, enraptured and with eyes unveiled.	¹⁶ dixit auditor sermonum Dei, qui novit doctrinam Altissimi, et visiones Omnipotentis videt, qui cadens apertos habet oculos :
¹⁷ I see him, though not now; I behold him, though not near: A star shall advance from Jacob, and a staff shall rise from Israel, That shall smite the brows of Moab, and the skulls of all the Shuthites,	¹⁷ Videbo eum, sed non modo : intuebor illum, sed non prope. Orietur stella ex Jacob, et consurget virga de Israël : et percutiet duces Moab, vastabitque omnes filios Seth.
¹⁸ Till Edom is dispossessed, and no fugitive is left in Seir. Israel shall do valiantly,	¹⁸ Et erit Idumæa possessio ejus : hæreditas Seir cedet inimicis suis : Israël vero fortiter aget.
¹⁹ and Jacob shall overcome his foes.	¹⁹ De Jacob erit qui dominetur, et perdat reliquias civitatis.
²⁰ Upon seeing Amalek, Balaam gave voice to his oracle: First of the peoples was Amalek, but his end is to perish forever.	²⁰ Cumque vidisset Amalec, assumens parabolam, ait : Principium gentium Amalec, cujus extrema perdentur.
²¹ Upon seeing the Kenites, he gave voice to his oracle: Your abode is enduring, O smith, and your nest is set on a cliff;	²¹ Vidit quoque Cinæum : et assumpta parabola, ait : Robustum quidem est habitaculum tuum : sed si in petra posueris nidum tuum,
²² Yet destined for burning-- even as I watch--are your inhabitants.	²² et fueris electus de stirpe Cin, quamdiu poteris permanere ? Assur enim capiet te.
²³ Upon seeing. . . . he gave voice to his oracle: Alas, who shall survive of Ishmael,	²³ Assumptaque parabola iterum locutus est : Heu ! quis victurus est, quando ista faciet Deus ?
²⁴ to deliver his people from the hands of the Kittim? When they have conquered Asshur and conquered Eber, He too shall perish forever.	²⁴ Venient in trieribus de Italia : superabunt Assyrios, vastabuntque Hebræos, et ad extremum etiam ipsi peribunt.
²⁵ Then Balaam set out on his journey home; and Balak also went his way.	²⁵ Surrexitque Balaam, et reversus est in locum suum : Balac quoque via, qua venerat, rediit.
