第二十三章 Numbers 23
1.巴蘭對巴勒說：「你在這裡給我築七座壇，為我預備七隻公牛，七隻公羊。」
Balaam said, 「Build me seven altars here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me.」
2.巴勒照巴蘭的話行了。巴勒和巴蘭在每座壇上獻一隻公牛。一隻公羊。
Balak did as Balaam said, and the two of them offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
3.巴蘭對巴勒說：「你站在你的燔祭旁邊，我且往前去，或者耶和華來迎見我。他指示我甚麼，我必告訴你。」於是巴蘭上一淨光的高處。
Then Balaam said to Balak, 「Stay here beside your offering while I go aside. Perhaps the LORD will come to meet with me. Whatever he reveals to me I will tell you.」 Then he went off to a barren height.
4. 神迎見巴蘭；巴蘭說：「我預備了七座壇，在每座壇上獻了一隻公牛，一隻公羊。」
God met with him, and Balaam said, 「I have prepared seven altars, and on each altar I have offered a bull and a ram.」
5.耶和華將話傳給巴蘭，又說：「你回到巴勒那裏，要如此如此說。」
The LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth and said, 「Go back to Balak and give him this word.」
6.他就回到巴勒那裏，見他同摩押的使臣都站在燔祭旁邊。
So he went back to him and found him standing beside his offering, with all the Moabite officials.
7.巴蘭便題起詩歌說：巴勒引我出亞蘭，摩押王引我出東山，說：來啊，為我咒詛雅各；來啊，怒罵以色列。
Then Balaam spoke his message: 「Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the eastern mountains. 『Come,』 he said, 『curse Jacob for me; come, denounce Israel.』
8. 神沒有咒詛的，我焉能咒詛？耶和華沒有怒罵的，我焉能怒罵？
How cam I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the LORD has not denounced?
9.我從高峰看他，從小山望他；這是獨居的民，不列在萬民之中。
From the rocky peaks I see them, from the heights I view them. I see a people who live apart and do not consider themselves one of the nations.
10.誰能數點雅各的塵土？誰能計算以色列的四分之一？我願如義人之死而死；我願如義人之終而終。
Who can count the dust of Jacob or number even a fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and may my final end be like theirs!」
11.巴勒對巴蘭說：「你向我做的是甚麼事呢？我領你來咒詛我的仇敵，不料，你竟為他們祝福。」
Balak said to Balaam, 「What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but you have done nothing but bless them!」
12.他回答說：「耶和華傳給我的話，我能不謹慎傳說嗎？」
He answered, 「Must I not speak what the LORD puts in my mouth?」
