Numbers 24

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And when Balaam had seen that it was pleasing to the Lord that he should bless Israel, he by no means went out as he had gone before, to seek divination. But directing his face opposite the desert,	1 فلما رأى بلعام انه يحسن في عيني الرب ان يبارك اسرائيل لم ينطلق كالمرة الاولى والثانية ليوافي فألا بل جعل نحو البرية وجهه.
2 and lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel dwelling in tents by their tribes. And with the Spirit of God rushing into him,	2 ورفع بلعام عينيه ورأى اسرائيل حالا حسب اسباطه. فكان عليه روح الله
3 taking up his parable, he said: “Balaam, the son of Beor, the man whose eye has been obstructed,	3 فنطق بمثله وقال. وحي بلعام بن بعور. وحي الرجل المفتوح العينين.
4 the hearer of the sermon of God, he who has gazed upon a vision of the Almighty, he who falls down and so his eyes are opened, has declared:	4 وحي الذي يسمع اقوال الله. الذي يرى رؤيا القدير مطروحا وهو مكشوف العينين.
5 ‘How beautiful are your tabernacles, O Jacob, and your tents, O Israel!	5 ما احسن خيامك يا يعقوب مساكنك يا اسرائيل.
6 They are like forested valleys, like gardens irrigated next to rivers, like tabernacles which the Lord has fixed, like cedars close to waters.	6 كاودية ممتدة كجنّات على نهر كشجرات عود غرسها الرب. كارزات على مياه
7 Water shall flow from his jar, and his offspring shall be amid many waters, because Agag, his king, shall be taken, and his kingdom shall be removed.	7 يجري ماء من دلائه ويكون زرعه على مياه غزيرة ويتسامى ملكه على اجاج وترتفع مملكته.
8 Away from Egypt, God has led him, whose strength is like the rhinoceros. They shall devour the nations that are his enemies, and break their bones, and pierce them with arrows.	8 الله اخرجه من مصر. له مثل سرعة الرئم. يأكل امما مضايقيه ويقضم عظامهم ويحطم سهامه.
9 Lying down, he has slept like a lion, and like a lioness, whom no one would dare to awaken. He who blesses you, shall himself also be blessed. He who curses you, shall be considered cursed.”	9 جثم كأسد ربض كلبوة. من يقيمه. مباركك مبارك ولاعنك ملعون
10 And Balak, being angry against Balaam, clapped his hands together and said: “I called you to curse my enemies, and, to the contrary, you have blessed them three times.	10 فاشتعل غضب بالاق على بلعام وصفق بيديه وقال بالاق لبلعام. لتشتم اعدائي دعوتك وهوذا انت قد باركتهم الآن ثلاث دفعات.
11 Return to your place. I had decided, indeed, to honor you greatly, but the Lord has deprived you of the designated honor.”	11 فالآن اهرب الى مكانك. قلت اكرمك اكراما وهوذا الرب قد منعك عن الكرامه.
12 Balaam responded to Balak: “Did I not say to your messengers, whom you sent to me:	12 فقال بلعام لبالاق ألم اكلم ايضا رسلك الذين ارسلت اليّ قائلا.
13 Even if Balak would give me his house, filled with silver and gold, I still could not go away from the word of the Lord my God, so as to offer anything, either good or evil, from my own heart; but whatever the Lord will speak, this, too, I shall speak.	13 ولو اعطاني بالاق ملء بيته فضة وذهبا لا اقدر ان اتجاوز قول الرب لاعمل خيرا او شرا من نفسي. الذي يتكلمه الرب اياه اتكلم.
14 Yet truly, as I continue on to my own people, I will give you counsel as to what this people shall do to your people in the end times.”	14 والآن هوذا انا منطلق الى شعبي. هلم انبئك بما يفعله هذا الشعب بشعبك في آخر الايام
15 Therefore, taking up his parable, he again spoke: “Balaam the son of Beor, the man whose eye has been obstructed,	15 ثم نطق بمثله وقال. وحي بلعام بن بعور. وحي الرجل المفتوح العينين.
16 the hearer of the sermon of God, he who knows the doctrine of the Most High, and who sees the visions of the Almighty, who, falling down, has his eyes opened, has declared:	16 وحي الذي يسمع اقوال الله ويعرف معرفة العلي. الذي يرى رؤيا القدير ساقطا وهو مكشوف العينين.
17 I shall see him, but not presently. I shall gaze upon him, but not soon. A star shall rise out of Jacob, and a rod shall spring up from Israel. And he shall strike down the commanders of Moab, and he shall devastate all the sons of Seth.	17 اراه ولكن ليس الآن. ابصره ولكن ليس قريبا. يبرز كوكب من يعقوب ويقوم قضيب من اسرائيل فيحطم طرفي موآب ويهلك كل بني الوغى.
18 And he shall possess Idumea; the inheritance of Seir shall fall to their enemies. Yet truly, Israel shall act with strength.	18 ويكون ادوم ميراثا. ويكون سعير اعداؤه ميراثا. ويصنع اسرائيل ببأس.
19 From Jacob will be he who shall be ruler. And he shall perish the remnants of the city.”	19 ويتسلط الذي من يعقوب ويهلك الشارد من مدينة
20 And when he saw Amalek, taking up his parable, he said: “Amalek, first among the Gentiles, whose very end shall be perdition.”	20 ثم رأى عماليق فنطق بمثله وقال. عماليق اول الشعوب واما آخرته فالى الهلاك.
21 Likewise, he saw the Kainites, and taking up his parable, he said: “Robust, indeed, is your habitation. But though you will set your nest in a rock,	21 ثم رأى القيني فنطق بمثله وقال. ليكن مسكنك متينا وعشك موضوعا في صخرة.
22 and you will be elect among the stock of Kain, how long will you be able to remain? For Assur shall take you captive.”	22 لكن يكون قاين للدمار حتى متى يستأسرك اشور.
23 And taking up his parable once more he said: “Alas! Who will be able to survive, when God will do these things?	23 ثم نطق بمثله وقال آه من يعيش حين يفعل ذلك.
24 They shall arrive in Greek warships from Italy. They shall overcome the Assyrians, and they shall devastate the Hebrews, and yet, at the very end, even they themselves shall perish.”	24 وتأتي سفن من ناحية كتيم وتخضع اشور وتخضع عابر فهو ايضا الى الهلاك
25 And Balaam rose up, and he returned to his place. Likewise, Balak went back, along the way by which he had arrived.	25 ثم قام بلعام وانطلق ورجع الى مكانه. وبالاق ايضا ذهب في طريقه
