| 1 ܘܚܙܐ ܒܠܥܡ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܒܥܝ̈ܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܒܪܟܘܬܗ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ. ܘܠܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܟܠ ܫܥܐ ܠܡܕܥ ܢܚܫܐ. ܘܣܡ ܠܡܕܒܪܐ ܐ̈ܦܘܗܝ. | 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 ܘܐܪܝܡ ܒܠܥܡ ܥܝ̈ܢܘܗܝ. ܘܚܙܐ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܟܕ ܫܪ̈ܝܢ ܫ̈ܒܛܝܢ ܫ̈ܒܛܝܢ. ܘܗܘܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ. | 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 ܘܐܪܝܡ ܒܡܬܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ. ܐܡܪ ܒܠܥܡ ܒܪܗ ܕܒܥܘܪ. ܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܓܠܝܐ ܥܝܢܗ. | 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 ܐܡܪ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ. ܘܚܙܘܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܙܐ. ܟܕ ܪܡܐ ܘܦܬܝܚ̈ܢ ܥܝ̈ܢܘܗܝ. | 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 ܡܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܡܫܟܢܟ ܝܥܩܘܒ. ܘܡܫ̈ܟܢܝܟ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ. | 5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! |
| 6 ܐܝܟ ܢܚ̈ܠܐ ܕܪܕܝܢ. ܘܐܝܟ ܦܪܕܝܣܐ ܕܥܠ ܢܗܪܐ. ܘܐܝܟ ܡܫܟܢܐ ܕܢܨܒ ܡܪܝܐ. ܘܐܝܟ ܐܪ̈ܙܐ ܕܥܠ ܡ̈ܝܐ. | 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 ܢܦܘܩ ܓܒܪܐ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ. ܘܙܪܥܗ ܒܡܝ̈ܐ ܣܓܝ̈ܐܐ. ܘܢܬܬܪܝܡ ܡܢ ܐܓܓ ܡܠܟܐ. ܘܬܬܪܝܡ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ. | 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 ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܦܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܒܥܘܫܢܗ ܘܒܪܘܡܗ. ܢܐܟܘܠ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܣܢܐ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܓܪ̈ܡܝܗܘܢ ܢܬܒܪ. ܘܚ̈ܨܝܗܘܢ ܢܦܣܩ. | 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 ܪܒܥ ܘܕܡܟ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܝܐ. ܘܐܝܟ ܓܘܪܝܐ ܕܐܪܝܐ ܘܡܢܘ ܢܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ. ܒ̇ܪ̈ܟܝܟ ܒܪ̈ܝܟܝܢ ܘܠܝ̈ܛܝܟ ܠܝܛܝ̈ܢ. | 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 ܘܐܬܚܡܬ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܒܠܩ ܥܠ ܒܠܥܡ. ܘܛܪܦ ܐ̈ܝܕܘܗܝ. ܘܐܡܪ ܒܠܩ ܠܒܠܥܡ. ܠܡܠܛ ܒܥ̈ܠܕܒܒܝ ܩܪܝ̇ܬܟ. ܘܗܐ ܡܒܪܟܘ ܡܒܪܟ ܐܢܬ ܠܗܘܢ. ܗܐ ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢ̈ܝܢ. | 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 ܗܫܐ ܦܘܩ ܙܠ ܠܟ ܠܐܬܪܟ. ܐܡܪܬ ܕܡܝܩܪܘ ܐܝܩܪܟ. ܘܗܐ ܟܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܩܪܐ. | 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 ܘܥܢܐ ܒܠܥܡ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܒܠܩ. ܗܐ ܐܦ ܠܐܝ̈ܙܓܕܝܟ ܕܫܕܪܬ ܠܘܬܝ ܐܡ̇ܪܬ. | 12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying, |
| 13 ܕܐܢ ܝ̇ܗܒ ܠܝ ܒܠܩ ܡܠܐ ܒܝܬܗ ܣܐܡܐ ܐܘ ܕܗܒܐ. ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܥܒܪ ܥܠ ܡܠܬ ܦܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ. ܘܐܥܒܕ ܡܢ ܠܒܝ ܛܒܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܝܫܬܐ. ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡ̇ܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ. ܗ̇ܘ ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ. | 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 ܗܫܐ ܗܐ ܐܙ̇ܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܝ ܠܐܪܥܝ. ܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܠܟܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܥ̇ܒܕ ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܥܡܟ ܒܚܪܬܐ ܕܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ. | 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 ܘܐܪܝܡ ܒܡܬܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ. ܐܡܪ ܒܠܥܡ ܒܪܗ ܕܒܥܘܪ. ܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܓܠܝܐ ܥܝܢܗ. | 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 ܐܡܪ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܐܡܪܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ. ܘܝܕܥ ܡܕܥܐ ܕܡܪܝܡܐ. ܘܚܙܘܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܙܐ. ܟܕ ܐܪܡܐ ܘܦܬܝܚ̈ܢ ܥܝ̈ܢܘܗܝ. | 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 ܚܙܝܬܗ ܘܠܐ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ. ܘܚ̇ܪܬܗ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܩܪܝܒ. ܢܕܢܚ ܟܘܟܒܐ ܡܢ ܝܥܩܘܒ. ܘܢܩܘܡ ܪܫܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ. ܘܢܘܒܕ ܠܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܡܘܐܒ. ܘܢܫܥܒܕ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܫܝܬ. | 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 ܘܬܗܘܐ ܐܕܘܡ ܝܪܬܘܬܗ. ܘܣܥܝܪ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܘܗܝ ܬܗܘܐ ܕܝܠܗ . ܘܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܢܩܢܐ ܚܝܠܐ. | 18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. |
| 19 ܘܢܚܘܬ ܡܢ ܝܥܩܘܒ. ܘܢܘܒܕ ܠܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܫܬܘܙܒ ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ. | 19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. |
| 20 ܘܚܙܐ ܠܥܡܠܝܩ ܘܐܪܝܡ ܒܡܬܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ. ܪܝܫ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܥܡܠܝܩ. ܘܚܪܬܗ ܬܐܒܕ ܠܥܠܡܝܢ. | 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 ܘܚܙܐ ܠܩܝ̈ܢܝܐ ܘܐܪܝܡ ܒܡܬܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ. ܥܫܝܢ ܡܘܬܒܟ. ܘܣܝܡ ܒܫܩܝܦܐ ܩܢܟ. | 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 ܐܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܒܘܥܪܐ ܩܝܢ. ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܬܘܪ ܢܫܒܘܢܟ. | 22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. |
| 23 ܘܐܪܝܡ ܒܡܬܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ. ܘܝ ܡܢܘ ܢܚܐ. ܡܐ ܕܣ̇ܐܡ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ. | 23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this! |
| 24 ܘܠܓܝܘ̈ܢܐ ܢܦܩ̈ܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܬ̈ܝܐ. ܘܢܫܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܐܬܘܪ. ܘܢܫܥܒܕܘܢ ܐܦ ܠܥܒܪ̈ܝܐ. ܘܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܐܒܕܘܢ ܠܥܠܡܝܢ. | 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 ܘܩܡ ܒܠܥܡ ܘܗܦܟ ܐܙܠ ܠܐܬܪܗ. ܘܐܦ ܒܠܩ ܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܚܗ. | 25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way. |
