1 I reče Valam Valaku: Načini mi ovde sedam oltara, i pripravi mi ovde sedam telaca i sedam ovnova.
1 Balaam said to Balak, “Build here seven altars for me, and prepare here seven bulls and seven rams for me.”
2 I učini Valak kako mu reče Valam; i prinese Valak s Valamom na svakom oltaru po jedno tele i ovna.
2 Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.
3 Pa reče Valam Valaku: Stoj kod svoje žrtve paljenice; a ja idem eda bih se sreo s Gospodom, pa šta mi javi kazaću ti. I on otide sam.
3 Balaam said to Balak, “Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me. Whatever he shows me I will tell you.” He went to a bare height.
4 I srete Bog Valama, a on mu reče: Sedam oltara spremnih, i prinesoh po tele i ovna na svakom oltaru.
4 God met Balaam, and he said to him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.”
5 A Gospod metnu reči u usta Valamu, i reče vrati se k Valaku i tako mu reci.
5 Yahweh put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”
6 I vrati se k njemu, a on stajaše kod žrtve svoje paljenice i svi knezovi moavski.
6 He returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
7 A on otvori priču svoju, i reče: Iz Arama dovede me Valak, car moavski s planine istočne, govoreći: Hodi, prokuni mi Jakova, hodi, naruži Izrailja.
7 He took up his parable, and said, “From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.
8 Kako bih kleo onog koga ne kune Bog? Ili kako bih ružio onog koga Gospod ne ruži?
8 How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy whom Yahweh has not defied?
9 Jer svrh stena vidim ga, i s humova gledam ga. Gle, ovaj će narod nastavati sam, i s drugim narodima neće se pomešati.
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him. From the hills I see him. Behold, it is a people that dwells alone, and shall not be listed among the nations.
10 Ko će izbrojati prah Jakovljev i broj od četvrti Izrailja? Da bih ja umro smrću pravedničkom, i kraj moj da bi bio kao njihov!
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, or count the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous! Let my last end be like his!”
11 Tada reče Valak Valamu: Šta to radiš od mene? Ja te dozvah da prokuneš neprijatelje moje, a gle, ti blagosiljaš jednako.
11 Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.”
12 A on odgovori i reče: Zar neću paziti i govoriti ono što mi je Gospod metnuo u usta?
12 He answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak that which Yahweh puts in my mouth?”
13 Tada mu reče Valak: Hodi sa mnom na drugo mesto, odakle ćeš ga videti; samo mu kraj vidiš, a svega ga ne vidiš; prokuni mi ga odande.
13 Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.”
14 I dovede ga u polje Zofim, navrh Fazge, i načini sedam oltara, i prinese na svakom oltaru po jedno tele i ovna.
14 He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
15 Tada Valam reče Valaku: Stoj tu kod žrtve svoje paljenice, a ja idem onamo na susret Gospodu.
15 He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”
16 I srete Gospod Valama, i metnu mu reč u usta, i reče: Vrati se k Valaku, i tako govori.
16 Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and say this.”
17 I dođe k njemu, a on stajaše kod žrtve svoje paljenice i s njim knezovi moavski; i reče Valak: Šta veli Gospod?
17 He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, “What has Yahweh spoken?”
18 A on otvori priču svoju, i reče: Ustani Valače, i poslušaj, čuj me sine Seforov!
18 He took up his parable, and said, “Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, you son of Zippor.
19 Bog nije čovek da laže, ni sin čovečji da se pokaje. Šta kaže neće li učiniti, i šta reče neće li izvršiti?
19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and he won’t do it? Or has he spoken, and he won’t make it good?
20 Gle, primih da blagoslovim; jer je On blagoslovio, a ja neću poreći.
20 Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can’t reverse it.
21 Ne gleda na bezakonje u Jakovu ni na nevaljalstvo u Izrailju; Gospod je njegov s njim, i graja u njemu kao car kad nadvlada.
21 He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. Yahweh his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.
22 Bog ga je izveo iz Misira, On mu je kao snaga jednorogova.
22 God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.
23 Jer nema čini na Jakova ni vračanja na Izrailja; u ovo doba govoriće se o Jakovu i o Izrailju, što je učinio Bog.
23 Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What has God done!’
24 Evo, narod će ustati kao silan lav, i kao lavić skočiće; neće leći dokle ne pojede lov i popije krv pobijenih.
24 Behold, a people rises up as a lioness. As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”
25 Tada reče Valak Valamu: Nemoj ga ni kleti ni blagosiljati.
25 Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”
26 A Valam odgovori Valaku: Nisam li ti kazao da ću činiti šta mi god Gospod kaže?
26 But Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that Yahweh speaks, that I must do’?”
27 A Valak reče Valamu: Hodi, odvešću te na drugo mesto; da ako Bogu bude volja da mi ga odande prokuneš.
27 Balak said to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”
28 I odvede Valak Valama navrh Fegora, koji gleda u pustinju.
28 Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert.
29 I reče Valam Valaku: Načini mi ovde sedam oltara, i pripravi mi ovde sedam telaca i sedam ovnova.
29 Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.”
30 I učini Valak kako reče Valam i prinese žrtvu po tele i ovna na svakom oltaru.
30 Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
