| 1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. | 1 At sinabi ni Balaam kay Balac, Ipagtayo mo ako rito ng pitong dambana, at ipaghanda mo ako rito ng pitong toro at ng pitong tupang lalake. |
| 2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. | 2 At ginawa ni Balac gaya ng sinalita ni Balaam; at si Balac at si Balaam ay naghandog sa bawa't dambana ng isang toro at ng isang tupang lalake. |
| 3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place. | 3 At sinabi ni Balaam kay Balac, Tumayo ka sa tabi ng iyong handog na susunugin, at ako'y yayaon; marahil ang Panginoon ay paririto na sasalubungin ako: at anomang bagay na kaniyang ipakita sa akin ay aking sasaysayin sa iyo. At siya'y naparoon sa isang dakong mataas na walang tanim. |
| 4 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. | 4 At sinalubong ng Dios si Balaam: at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Aking inihanda ang pitong dambana, at aking inihandog ang isang toro at ang isang tupang lalake sa bawa't dambana. |
| 5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. | 5 At nilagyan ng Panginoon ng salita ang bibig ni Balaam, at sinabi: Bumalik ka kay Balac, at ganito ang iyong sasalitain. |
| 6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab. | 6 At siya'y bumalik sa kaniya, at, narito, siya'y nakatayo sa tabi ng kaniyang handog na susunugin, siya at ang lahat ng mga prinsipe sa Moab. |
| 7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel. | 7 At kaniyang ibinadya ang kaniyang talinhaga, at sinabi, Mula sa Aram ay dinala ako rito ni Balac, Niyang hari sa Moab, na mula sa mga bundok ng Silanganan: Parito ka, sumpain mo sa akin ang Jacob. At parito ka, laitin mo ang Israel. |
| 8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied? | 8 Paanong aking susumpain ang hindi sinumpa ng Dios? At paanong aking lalaitin ang hindi nilait ng Panginoon? |
| 9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. | 9 Sapagka't mula sa taluktok ng mga bato ay aking nakikita siya, At mula sa mga burol ay akin siyang natatanawan: Narito, siya'y isang bayang tatahang magisa, At hindi ibinibilang sa gitna ng mga bansa. |
| 10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his! | 10 Sinong makabibilang ng alabok ng Jacob, O ng bilang ng ikaapat na bahagi ng Israel? Mamatay nawa ako ng kamatayan ng matuwid, At ang aking wakas ay magiging gaya nawa ng kaniya! |
| 11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. | 11 At sinabi ni Balac kay Balaam, Anong ginawa mo sa akin? Ipinagsama kita upang sumpain mo ang aking mga kaaway, at, narito, iyong pinagpala silang totoo. |
| 12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth? | 12 At siya'y sumagot, at nagsabi, Hindi ba nararapat na aking pagingatang salitain yaong isinasa bibig ko ng Panginoon? |
| 13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence. | 13 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Balac, Isinasamo ko sa iyo, na sumama ka sa akin sa ibang dako, na iyong pagkakakitaan sa kanila; ang iyo lamang makikita ay ang kahulihulihang bahagi nila, at hindi mo makikita silang lahat: at sumpain mo sila sa akin mula roon. |
| 14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. | 14 At dinala niya siya sa parang ng Sophim, sa taluktok ng Pisga, at nagtayo roon ng pitong dambana, at naghandog ng isang toro, at ng isang tupang lalake sa bawa't dambana. |
| 15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder. | 15 At kaniyang sinabi kay Balac, Tumayo ka rito sa tabi ng iyong handog na susunugin, samantalang aking sinasalubong ang Panginoon doon. |
| 16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus. | 16 At sinalubong ng Panginoon si Balaam, at pinapagsalita siya ng salita sa kaniyang bibig, at sinabi, bumalik ka kay Balac, at ganito ang iyong sasalitain. |
| 17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken? | 17 At siya'y naparoon sa kaniya, at, narito, siya'y nakatayo sa tabi ng kaniyang handog na susunugin, at ang mga prinsipe sa Moab na kasama niya. At sinabi sa kaniya ni Balac, Anong sinalita ng Panginoon? |
| 18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor: | 18 At kaniyang ibinadya ang kaniyang talinghaga, at sinabi, Tumindig ka, Balac, at iyong dinggin; Makinig ka sa akin, ikaw anak ni Zippor: |
| 19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? | 19 Ang Dios ay hindi tao na magsisinungaling, Ni anak ng tao na magsisisi; Sinabi ba niya, at hindi niya gagawin? O sinalita ba niya, at hindi niya isasagawa? |
| 20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. | 20 Narito, ako'y tumanggap ng utos na magpala: At kaniyang pinagpala, at hindi ko na mababago. |
| 21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. | 21 Wala siyang nakitang kasamaan sa Jacob, Ni wala siyang nakitang kasamaan sa Israel: Ang Panginoon niyang Dios ay sumasa kaniya, At ang sigaw ng hari ay nasa gitna nila. |
| 22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. | 22 Dios ang naglalabas sa kanila sa Egipto; Siya'y may lakas na gaya ng mabangis na toro. |
| 23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! | 23 Tunay na walang enkanto laban sa Jacob, Ni panghuhula laban sa Israel: Ngayo'y sasabihin tungkol sa Jacob at sa Israel, Anong ginawa ng Dios! |
| 24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain. | 24 Narito, ang bayan ay tumitindig na parang isang leong babae, At parang isang leon na nagpakataas: Siya'y hindi mahihiga hanggang sa makakain ng huli, At makainom ng dugo ng napatay. |
| 25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. | 25 At sinabi ni Balac kay Balaam, Ni huwag mo silang pakasumpain ni pakapagpalain. |
| 26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do? | 26 Nguni't si Balaam ay sumagot at nagsabi kay Balac, Di ba isinaysay ko sa iyo, na sinasabi, Yaong lahat na sinasalita ng Panginoon, ay siya kong nararapat gawin? |
| 27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence. | 27 At sinabi ni Balac kay Balaam, Halika ngayon, ipagsasama kita sa ibang dako; marahil ay kalulugdan ng Dios na iyong sumpain sila sa akin mula roon. |
| 28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon. | 28 At ipinagsama ni Balac si Balaam sa taluktok ng Peor, na nakatungo sa ilang. |
| 29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. | 29 At sinabi ni Balaam kay Balac, Ipagtayo mo ako rito ng pitong dambana, at ipaghanda mo ako rito ng pitong toro at ng pitong tupang lalake. |
| 30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. | 30 At ginawa ni Balac gaya ng sinabi ni Balaam, at naghandog ng isang toro at ng isang tupang lalake sa bawa't dambana. |
