1 και ιδων βαλααμ οτι καλον εστιν εναντι κυριου ευλογειν τον ισραηλ ουκ επορευθη κατα το ειωθος εις συναντησιν τοις οιωνοις και απεστρεψεν το προσωπον αυτου εις την ερημον | 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 και εξαρας βαλααμ τους οφθαλμους αυτου καθορα τον ισραηλ εστρατοπεδευκοτα κατα φυλας και εγενετο πνευμα θεου εν αυτω | 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 και αναλαβων την παραβολην αυτου ειπεν φησιν βαλααμ υιος βεωρ φησιν ο ανθρωπος ο αληθινως ορων | 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 φησιν ακουων λογια θεου οστις ορασιν θεου ειδεν εν υπνω αποκεκαλυμμενοι οι οφθαλμοι αυτου | 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 ως καλοι σου οι οικοι ιακωβ αι σκηναι σου ισραηλ | 5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! |
6 ωσει ναπαι σκιαζουσαι και ωσει παραδεισοι επι ποταμων και ωσει σκηναι ας επηξεν κυριος ωσει κεδροι παρ' υδατα | 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 εξελευσεται ανθρωπος εκ του σπερματος αυτου και κυριευσει εθνων πολλων και υψωθησεται η γωγ βασιλεια αυτου και αυξηθησεται η βασιλεια αυτου | 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 θεος ωδηγησεν αυτον εξ αιγυπτου ως δοξα μονοκερωτος αυτω εδεται εθνη εχθρων αυτου και τα παχη αυτων εκμυελιει και ταις βολισιν αυτου κατατοξευσει εχθρον | 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 κατακλιθεις ανεπαυσατο ως λεων και ως σκυμνος τις αναστησει αυτον οι ευλογουντες σε ευλογηνται και οι καταρωμενοι σε κεκατηρανται | 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 και εθυμωθη βαλακ επι βαλααμ και συνεκροτησεν ταις χερσιν αυτου και ειπεν βαλακ προς βαλααμ καταρασθαι τον εχθρον μου κεκληκα σε και ιδου ευλογων ευλογησας τριτον τουτο | 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 νυν ουν φευγε εις τον τοπον σου ειπα τιμησω σε και νυν εστερησεν σε κυριος της δοξης | 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 και ειπεν βαλααμ προς βαλακ ουχι και τοις αγγελοις σου ους απεστειλας προς με ελαλησα λεγων | 12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying, |
13 εαν μοι δω βαλακ πληρη τον οικον αυτου αργυριου και χρυσιου ου δυνησομαι παραβηναι το ρημα κυριου ποιησαι αυτο πονηρον η καλον παρ' εμαυτου οσα εαν ειπη ο θεος ταυτα ερω | 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 και νυν ιδου αποτρεχω εις τον τοπον μου δευρο συμβουλευσω σοι τι ποιησει ο λαος ουτος τον λαον σου επ' εσχατου των ημερων | 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 και αναλαβων την παραβολην αυτου ειπεν φησιν βαλααμ υιος βεωρ φησιν ο ανθρωπος ο αληθινως ορων | 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 ακουων λογια θεου επισταμενος επιστημην παρα υψιστου και ορασιν θεου ιδων εν υπνω αποκεκαλυμμενοι οι οφθαλμοι αυτου | 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 δειξω αυτω και ουχι νυν μακαριζω και ουκ εγγιζει ανατελει αστρον εξ ιακωβ και αναστησεται ανθρωπος εξ ισραηλ και θραυσει τους αρχηγους μωαβ και προνομευσει παντας υιους σηθ | 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 και εσται εδωμ κληρονομια και εσται κληρονομια ησαυ ο εχθρος αυτου και ισραηλ εποιησεν εν ισχυι | 18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. |
19 και εξεγερθησεται εξ ιακωβ και απολει σωζομενον εκ πολεως | 19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. |
20 και ιδων τον αμαληκ και αναλαβων την παραβολην αυτου ειπεν αρχη εθνων αμαληκ και το σπερμα αυτων απολειται | 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 και ιδων τον καιναιον και αναλαβων την παραβολην αυτου ειπεν ισχυρα η κατοικια σου και εαν θης εν πετρα την νοσσιαν σου | 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 και εαν γενηται τω βεωρ νεοσσια πανουργιας ασσυριοι σε αιχμαλωτευσουσιν | 22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. |
23 και ιδων τον ωγ και αναλαβων την παραβολην αυτου ειπεν ω ω τις ζησεται οταν θη ταυτα ο θεος | 23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this! |
24 και εξελευσεται εκ χειρος κιτιαιων και κακωσουσιν ασσουρ και κακωσουσιν εβραιους και αυτοι ομοθυμαδον απολουνται | 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 και αναστας βαλααμ απηλθεν αποστραφεις εις τον τοπον αυτου και βαλακ απηλθεν προς εαυτον | 25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way. |
