Numbers 24

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBLIA
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.	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.
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.	2 Y al alzar los ojos, vio Balaam a Israel acampado por tribus. Y le invadió el espíritu de Dios.
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:	3 Entonó su trova y dijo: «Oráculo de Balaam, hijo de Beor, oráculo del varón clarividente.
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:	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.
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!	5 ¡Qué hermosas son tus tiendas, Jacob, y tus moradas, Israel!
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.	6 Como valles espaciosos, como jardines a la vera del río, como áloes que plantó Yahveh, como cedros a la orilla de las aguas.
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.	7 Sale un héroe de su descendencia, domina sobre pueblos numerosos. Se alza su rey por encima de Agag, se alza su reinado.
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.	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.
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.	9 Se agacha, se acuesta, como león, como leona, ¿quién le hará levantar? ¡Bendito el que te bendiga! ¡Maldito el que te maldiga!»
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.	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.
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.	11 Lárgate ya a tu tierra. Te dije que te colmaría de honores, pero Yahveh te ha privado de ellos.»
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,	12 Respondió Balaam a Balaq: «¿No les dije yo a los mensajeros que me enviaste:
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?	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?”
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.	14 Ahora, pues, que me marcho a mi pueblo, ven, que te voy a anunciar lo que hará este pueblo al cabo del tiempo.»
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:	15 Entonó su trova y dijo: «Oráculo de Balaam, hijo de Beor, oráculo del varón clarividente.
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:	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.
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.	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.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.	18 Será Edom tierra conquistada, tierra conquistada Seír. Israel despliega su poder,
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.	19 Jacob domina a sus enemigos, aniquila a los fugitivos de Ar.»
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.	20 Vio Balaam a Amalec, entonó su trova y dijo: «Primicias de las naciones, Amalec; pero al cabo perecerá para siempre.»
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.	21 Vio luego a los quenitas, entonó su trova y dijo: «Firme es tu morada, Caín, en la peña está puesto tu nido.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.	22 Pero el nido es de Beor; ¿hasta cuándo te tendrá cautivo Asur?
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!	23 Entonó luego su trova y dijo: Pueblos del Mar reviven por el Norte,
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.	24 barcos por el lado de Kittim. Oprimen a Asur, oprimen a Héber; también él perecerá para siempre.»
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.	25 Luego se levantó Balaam, y se fue de vuelta a su país. También Balaq se fue por su camino.
