Chapter 24

1 And when Balaam1109 saw7200 that3588 it pleased2895 5869 the LORD3068 to bless1288 853 Israel,3478 he went1980 not,3808 as at other times,6471 6471 to seek7125 for enchantments,5173 but he set7896 his face6440 toward413 the wilderness.4057

2 And Balaam1109 lifted up5375 853 his eyes,5869 and he saw7200 853 Israel3478 abiding7931 in his tents according to their tribes;7626 and the spirit7307 of God430 came1961 upon5921 him.

3 And he took up5375 his parable,4912 and said,559 Balaam1109 the son1121 of Beor1160 hath said,5002 and the man1397 whose eyes5869 are open8365 hath said: 5002

4 He hath said,5002 which heard8085 the words561 of God,410 which834 saw2372 the vision4236 of the Almighty,7706 falling5307 into a trance, but having his eyes5869 open: 1540

5 How4100 goodly2895 are thy tents,168 O Jacob,3290 and thy tabernacles,4908 O Israel!3478

6 As the valleys5158 are they spread forth,5186 as gardens1593 by5921 the river's5104 side, as the trees of lign aloes174 which the LORD3068 hath planted,5193 and as cedar trees730 beside5921 the waters.4325

7 He shall pour5140 the water4325 out of his buckets,4480 1805 and his seed2233 shall be in many7227 waters,4325 and his king4428 shall be higher7311 than Agag,4480 90 and his kingdom4438 shall be exalted.5375

8 God410 brought him forth3318 out of Egypt;4480 4714 he hath as it were the strength8443 of a unicorn:7214 he shall eat up398 the nations1471 his enemies,6862 and shall break1633 their bones,6106 and pierce them through4272 with his arrows.2671

9 He couched,3766 he lay down7901 as a lion,738 and as a great lion:3833 who4310 shall stir him up?6965 Blessed1288 is he that blesseth1288 thee, and cursed779 is he that curseth779 thee.

10 And Balak's1111 anger639 was kindled2734 against413 Balaam,1109 and he smote his hands together:5606 853 3709 and Balak1111 said559 unto413 Balaam,1109 I called7121 thee to curse6895 mine enemies,341 and, behold,2009 thou hast altogether blessed1288 1288 them these2088 three7969 times.6471

11 Therefore now6258 flee1272 thou to413 thy place:4725 I thought559 to promote thee unto great honor;3513 3513 but, lo,2009 the LORD3068 hath kept thee back4513 from honor.4480 3519

12 And Balaam1109 said559 unto413 Balak,1111 Spoke1696 I not3808 also1571 to413 thy messengers4397 which834 thou sentest7971 unto413 me, saying,559

13 If518 Balak1111 would give5414 me his house1004 full4393 of silver3701 and gold,2091 I cannot3808 3201 go beyond5674 853 the commandment6310 of the LORD,3068 to do6213 either good2896 or176 bad7451 of mine own mind;4480 3820 but what834 the LORD3068 saith,1696 that will I speak?1696

14 And now,6258 behold,2009 I go1980 unto my people:5971 come1980 therefore, and I will advertise3289 thee what834 this2088 people5971 shall do6213 to thy people5971 in the latter319 days.3117

15 And he took up5375 his parable,4912 and said,559 Balaam1109 the son1121 of Beor1160 hath said,5002 and the man1397 whose eyes5869 are open8365 hath said: 5002

16 He hath said,5002 which heard8085 the words561 of God,410 and knew3045 the knowledge1847 of the most High,5945 which saw2372 the vision4236 of the Almighty,7706 falling5307 into a trance, but having his eyes5869 open: 1540

17 I shall see7200 him, but not3808 now:6258 I shall behold7789 him, but not3808 nigh:7138 there shall come1869 a Star3556 out of Jacob,4480 3290 and a Scepter7626 shall rise6965 out of Israel,4480 3478 and shall smite4272 the corners6285 of Moab,4124 and destroy4272 all3605 the children1121 of Sheth.8352

18 And Edom123 shall be1961 a possession,3424 Seir8165 also shall be1961 a possession3424 for his enemies;341 and Israel3478 shall do6213 valiantly.2428

19 Out of Jacob4480 3290 shall come he that shall have dominion,7287 and shall destroy6 him that remaineth8300 of the city.4480 5892

20 And when he looked on7200 853 Amalek,6002 he took up5375 his parable,4912 and said,559 Amalek6002 was the first7225 of the nations;1471 but his latter end319 shall be that he perish8 forever.5703

21 And he looked on7200 853 the Kenites,7017 and took up5375 his parable,4912 and said,559 Strong386 is thy dwelling place,4186 and thou puttest7760 thy nest7064 in a rock.5553

22 Nevertheless3588 518 the Kenite7014 shall be1961 wasted,1197 until5704 4100 Asshur804 shall carry thee away captive.7617

23 And he took up5375 his parable,4912 and said,559 Alas,188 who4310 shall live2421 when God410 doeth4480 7760 this!

24 And ships6716 shall come from the coast4480 3027 of Chittim,3794 and shall afflict6031 Asshur,804 and shall afflict6031 Eber,5677 and he1931 also1571 shall perish8 forever.5703

25 And Balaam1109 rose up,6965 and went1980 and returned7725 to his place:4725 and Balak1111 also1571 went1980 his way.1870

第24章

1 巴蘭見耶和華欲錫嘏於以色列、故不復用卜、如昔所爲、乃舉其目、顧瞻於野、

2 觀以色列族、循其支派、而建營壘、感於上帝之神、

3 作歌曰、庇耳子巴蘭、旣明其目、

4 備聞上帝之言詞、得覩至能之異象、身雖假寐、目則常啟、故振振有辭、

5 曰、美哉雅各之幕、以色列之室歟。

6 如陵谷之開廣、如園囿之臨河、如耶和華之植奇南香、如溪旁之有柏香木。

7 其裔熾昌、如泉滂沛、其王高於亞甲、其國可得振興。

8 昔上帝導之出埃及、其行之捷、可儗於兕、必并吞敵國、剌之以矢、囓傷其骨。

9 其民如牡獅、伏視眈眈、亦猶牝獅、孰敢攖之、祝爾者必見祝、詛爾者必見詛。〇

10 巴勒甚怒、鼓掌而言曰、我召爾詛敵、爾乃祝之者三。

11 爾盍速返故國、我意使爾得大榮、而耶和華不許。

12 巴蘭謂巴勒曰、我豈不告爾使臣、

13 卽以盈室之金銀饋我、亦不可踰越耶和華之命、我弗擅行、或善或惡、惟耶和華所諭、我代言之。

14 今我將歸、爾盍來前、此民至於季世、所以待爾民者、先以告汝。

15 乃作歌曰、庇耳子巴蘭、旣明其目、

16 備聞上帝之言詞、能知至上之妙理、得覩全能之異象、身雖假寐、目則常啟、故振振有辭、

17 我將見之、不在今日、我將觀之、不於目前、自雅各家將出明星、自以色列將秉大權、摩押之隅、悉爲攻擊、示特之人、俱必喪亡。

18 以色列族將施能力、勝其敵人、得以東西耳之地、

19 秉其大權、斯邑之遺民、復行殲滅。

20 巴蘭瞻望亞馬力、作歌曰、亞馬力爲列國之初興、終亦必亡。

21 又望基尼族、作歌曰、爾居鞏固、爾巢巖穴、

22 雖然、基尼人終歸殲滅、遷徙於亞述。

23 載歌曰、噫嘻乎、上帝行是、孰能得生。

24 人將駕舟、自基底至、使亞述希百備歴困苦、基底終亦必亡。

25 巴蘭乃返故土、巴勒亦歸其所。

8 God410 brought him forth3318 out of Egypt;4480 4714 he hath as it were the strength8443 of a unicorn:7214 he shall eat up398 the nations1471 his enemies,6862 and shall break1633 their bones,6106 and pierce them through4272 with his arrows.2671
