| BSB 1 Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.” | NAV 1 فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِبَالاقَ: «ابْنِ لِي هُنَا سَبْعَةَ مَذَابِحَ، وَأَعِدَّ لِي هُنَا سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ». |
| BSB 2 So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar. | NAV 2 فَفَعَلَ بَالاقُ كَمَا طَلَبَ بَلْعَامُ. وَقَرَّبَ بَالاقُ وَبَلْعَامُ ثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً عَلَى كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ. |
| BSB 3 “Stay here by your burnt offering while I am gone,” Balaam said to Balak. “Perhaps the LORD will meet with me. And whatever He reveals to me, I will tell you.” So Balaam went off to a barren height, | NAV 3 ثُمَّ قَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِبَالاقَ: «قِفْ هُنَا عِنْدَ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ فَأَمْضِيَ أَنَا، لَعَلَّ الرَّبَّ يَأْتِي لِلِقَائِي، وَمَهْمَا يُعْلِنْ لِي أُبْلِغْكَ بِهِ». ثُمَّ ارْتَقَى بَلْعَامُ رَابِيَةً. |
| BSB 4 and God met with him. “I have set up seven altars,” Balaam said, “and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.” | NAV 4 فَوَافَى اللهُ بَلْعَامَ. فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ: «قَدْ أَعْدَدْتُ سَبْعَةَ مَذَابِحَ وَقَرَّبْتُ ثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً عَلَى كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ». |
| BSB 5 Then the LORD put a message in Balaam’s mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and give him this message.” | NAV 5 فَحَمَّلَ الرَّبُّ بَلْعَامَ رِسَالَةً وَقَالَ: «ارْجِعْ إِلَى بَالاقَ وَبَلِّغْهُ إِيَّاهَا». |
| BSB 6 So he returned to Balak, who was standing there beside his burnt offering, with all the princes of Moab. | NAV 6 فَعَادَ إِلَيْهِ، وَإذَا بِهِ مَازَالَ وَاقِفاً عِنْدَ مُحْرَقَاتِهِ، وَمَعَهُ جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَاءِ مُوآبَ، |
| BSB 7 And Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the mountains of the east. ‘Come,’ he said, ‘put a curse on Jacob for me; come and denounce Israel!’ | NAV 7 فَنَطَقَ بِنُبُوءَتِهِ قَائِلاً: «أَتَى بِي بَالاقُ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ مِنْ بِلادِ أَرَامَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ، وَقَالَ: تَعَالَ الْعَنْ لِي يَعْقُوبَ، وَاشْتِمْ لِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. |
| BSB 8 How can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the LORD has not denounced? | NAV 8 كَيْفَ أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَمْ يَلْعَنْهُ اللهُ؟ وَكَيْفَ أَشْتِمُ مَنْ لَمْ يَشْتِمْهُ الرَّبُّ؟ |
| BSB 9 For I see them from atop the rocky cliffs, and I watch them from the hills. Behold, a people dwelling apart, not reckoning themselves among the nations. | NAV 9 هَا أَنَا أَرَاهُمْ مِنْ قِمَمِ الصُّخُورِ، وَمِنَ الآكَامِ أُبْصِرُهُمْ. هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ يَسْكُنُ وَحْدَهُ. وَلا يَحْسَبُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ أُمَّةً مِنَ الأُمَمِ. |
| BSB 10 Who can count the dust of Jacob or number even a fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous; let my end be like theirs!” | NAV 10 مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُحْصِيَ تُرَابَ يَعْقُوبَ أَوْ يَعُدَّ رُبْعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ لِتَمُتْ نَفْسِي مَوْتَ الأَبْرَارِ، وَلْتَكُنْ آخِرَتِي كَآخِرَتِهِمْ». |
| BSB 11 Then Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you here to curse my enemies, and behold, you have only blessed them!” | NAV 11 فَقَالَ بَالاقُ لِبَلْعَامَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِي؟ لَقَدِ اسْتَدْعَيْتُكَ لِتَشْتِمَ أَعْدَائِي، وَهَا أَنْتَ تُبَارِكُهُمْ» |
| BSB 12 But Balaam replied, “Should I not speak exactly what the LORD puts in my mouth?” | NAV 12 فَأَجَابَهُ: «إِنَّنِي أَحْرِصُ أَنْ لَا أَتَكَلَّمَ إِلّا بِمَا يَضَعُهُ الرَّبُّ عَلَى فَمِي». |
| BSB 13 Then Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place where you can see them. You will only see the outskirts of their camp—not all of them. And from there, curse them for me.” | NAV 13 فَقَالَ لَهُ بَالاقُ: «تَعَالَ مَعِي إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ فَلا تَرَى مِنْهُ إِلّا طَرَفَ مُخَيَّمِ الشَّعْبِ فَقَطْ، وَالْعَنْهُ لِي مِنْ هُنَاكَ». |
| BSB 14 So Balak took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, where he built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar. | NAV 14 فَأَخَذَهُ إِلَى حَقْلِ صُوفِيمَ الْمُشْرِفِ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْفِسْجَةِ وَهُنَاكَ شَيَّدَ سَبْعَةَ مَذَابِحَ، وَقَرَّبَ بَلْعَامُ ثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً عَلَى كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ. |
| BSB 15 Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there.” | NAV 15 وَقَالَ لِبَالاقَ: «انْتَظِرْنِي هُنَاكَ عِنْدَ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ وَأَنَا أَمْضِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ». |
| BSB 16 And the LORD met with Balaam and put a message in his mouth, saying, “Return to Balak and speak what I tell you.” | NAV 16 فَوَافَى الرَّبُّ بَلْعَامَ وَلَقَّنَهُ رِسَالَةً وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ارْجِعْ إِلَى بَالاقَ وَبَلِّغْهُ إِيَّاهَا». |
| BSB 17 So he returned to Balak, who was standing there by his burnt offering with the princes of Moab. “What did the LORD say?” Balak asked. | NAV 17 فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى بَالاقَ، وَإذَا بِهِ مُنْتَظِرٌ عِنْدَ مُحْرَقَاتِهِ وَمَعَهُ رُؤَسَاءُ مُوآبَ. فَسَأَلَهُ بَالاقُ: «مَاذَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ؟» |
| BSB 18 Then Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Arise, O Balak, and listen; give ear to me, O son of Zippor. | NAV 18 فَضَرَبَ مَثَلَهُ قَائِلاً: «انْهَضْ يَا بَالاقُ وَأَصْغَ، اسْتَمِعْ إِلَيَّ يَا ابْنَ صِفُّورَ |
| BSB 19 God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill? | NAV 19 لَيْسَ اللهُ إِنْسَاناً فَيَكْذِبَ. وَلا هُوَ ابْنَ آدَمَ فَيَنْدَمَ. هَلْ يَقُولُ وَلا يَفْعَلُ أَوْ يَعِدُ ولا يَفِي؟ |
| BSB 20 I have indeed received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot change it. | NAV 20 إِنِّي أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُبَارِكَ، وَهُوَ قَدْ بَارَكَ وَلا طَاقَةَ لِي عَلَى رَدِّهِ. |
| BSB 21 He considers no disaster for Jacob; He sees no trouble for Israel. The LORD their God is with them, and the shout of the King is among them. | NAV 21 لَمْ يَشْهَدْ إِثْماً فِي يَعْقُوبَ، وَلَمْ يَرَ مَشَقَّةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ مَعَهُمْ، وَهُتَافٌ لِلْمَلِكِ فِيهِمْ. |
| BSB 22 God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox. | NAV 22 اللهُ أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَقُوَّتُهُمْ مِثْلُ قُوَّةِ الثَّوْرِ الْوَحْشِيِّ. |
| BSB 23 For there is no spell against Jacob and no divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and Israel, ‘What great things God has done!’ | NAV 23 فَلا عِيَافَةَ تَضُرُّ يَعْقُوبَ، وَلا عِرَافَةَ تُؤَثِّرُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. مُنْذُ الآنَ يُقَالُ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ وَعَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ:’انْظُرْ مَاذَا فَعَلَ اللهُ!‘ |
| BSB 24 Behold, the people rise like a lioness; they rouse themselves like a lion, not resting until they devour their prey and drink the blood of the slain.” | NAV 24 هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ يَتَحَفَّزُ كَلَبْوَةٍ وَيَنْهَضُ كَأَسَدٍ. لَا يَنَامُ حَتَّى يَلْتَهِمَ فَرِيسَةً وَيَلَغَ فِي دَمِ قَتْلَى». |
| BSB 25 Now Balak said to Balaam, “Then neither curse them at all nor bless them at all!” | NAV 25 فَقَالَ بَالاقُ لِبَلْعَامَ: «إِذَنْ لَا تَلْعَنْهُ وَلا تُبَارِكْهُ!» |
| BSB 26 But Balaam replied, “Did I not tell you that whatever the LORD says, I must do?” | NAV 26 فَأَجَابَ بَلْعَامُ: «أَلَمْ أُخْبِرْكَ أَنَّنِي لَنْ أَنْطِقَ إِلّا بِمَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِهِ الرَّبُّ؟» |
| BSB 27 “Please come,” said Balak, “I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God that you curse them for me from there.” | NAV 27 فَقَالَ بَالاقُ: «دَعْنِي آخُذُكَ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ، فَعَسَى أَنْ يَحْسُنَ فِي عَيْنَيِ اللهِ أَنْ تَلْعَنَ لِيَ الشَّعْبَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ». |
| BSB 28 And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which overlooks the wasteland. | NAV 28 فَأَخَذَ بَالاقُ بَلْعَامَ إِلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلِ فَغُورَ الْمُشْرِفِ عَلَى امْتِدَادِ الصَّحْرَاءِ، |
| BSB 29 Then Balaam said, “Build for me seven altars here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams.” | NAV 29 فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِبَالاقَ: «ابْنِ لِي هُنَا سَبْعَةَ مَذَابِحَ. وَجَهِّزْ لِي هُنَا سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ». |
| BSB 30 So Balak did as Balaam had instructed, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar. | NAV 30 فَلَبَّى بَالاقُ طَلَبَ بَلْعَامَ، وَقَرَّبَ ثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً عَلَى كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ. |
