NUMBERS 23	عدد 23
1 Then Balaam said to Balak, "Build seven altars for me here, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams."	1 فَقَال بَلعَامُ لِبَالاقَ: «ابْنِ لِي هَهُنَا سَبْعَةَ مَذَابِحَ وَهَيِّئْ لِي هَهُنَا سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ».
2 And Balak did just as Balaam had spoken, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.	2 فَفَعَل بَالاقُ كَمَا تَكَلمَ بَلعَامُ. وَأَصْعَدَ بَالاقُ وَبَلعَامُ ثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً عَلى كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ.
3 Then Balaam said to Balak, "Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps the Lord will come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you." So he went to a desolate height.	3 فَقَال بَلعَامُ لِبَالاقَ: «قِفْ عِنْدَ مُحْرَقَتِكَ فَأَنْطَلِقَ أَنَا لعَل الرَّبَّ يُوافِي لِلِقَائِي فَمَهْمَا أَرَانِي أُخْبِرْكَ بِهِ». ثُمَّ انْطَلقَ إِلى رَابِيَةٍ.
4 And God met Balaam, and he said to Him, "I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered on each altar a bull and a ram."	4 فَوَافَى اللهُ بَلعَامَ. فَقَال لهُ: «قَدْ رَتَّبْتُ سَبْعَةَ مَذَابِحَ وَأَصْعَدْتُ ثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً عَلى كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ».
5 Then the Lord put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, "Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak."	5 فَوَضَعَ الرَّبُّ كَلاماً فِي فَمِ بَلعَامَ وَقَال: «ارْجِعْ إِلى بَالاقَ وَتَكَلمْ هَكَذَا».
6 So he returned to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, he and all the princes of Moab.	6 فَرَجَعَ إِليْهِ وَإِذَا هُوَ وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ مُحْرَقَتِهِ هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ رُؤَسَاءِ مُوآبَ.
7 And he took up his oracle and said: "Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram, From the mountains of the east. 'Come, curse Jacob for me, And come, denounce Israel!'	7 فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَال: «مِنْ أَرَامَ أَتَى بِي بَالاقُ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ مِنْ جِبَالِ المَشْرِقِ. تَعَال العَنْ لِي يَعْقُوبَ وَهَلُمَّ اشْتِمْ إِسْرَائِيل.
8 "How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how shall I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?	8 كَيْفَ أَلعَنُ مَنْ لمْ يَلعَنْهُ اللهُ وَكَيْفَ أَشْتِمُ مَنْ لمْ يَشْتِمْهُ الرَّبُّ؟
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, And from the hills I behold him; There! A people dwelling alone, Not reckoning itself among the nations.	9 إِنِّي مِنْ رَأْسِ الصُّخُورِ أَرَاهُ. وَمِنَ الآكَامِ أُبْصِرُهُ. هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ يَسْكُنُ وَحْدَهُ. وَبَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ لا يُحْسَبُ.
10 "Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number one-fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, And let my end be like his!"	10 مَنْ أَحْصَى تُرَابَ يَعْقُوبَ وَرُبْعَ إِسْرَائِيل بِعَدَدٍ؟ لِتَمُتْ نَفْسِي مَوْتَ الأَبْرَارِ وَلتَكُنْ آخِرَتِي كَآخِرَتِهِمْ».
11 Then Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and look, you have blessed them bountifully!"	11 فَقَال بَالاقُ لِبَلعَامَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلتَ بِي؟ لِتَشْتِمَ أَعْدَائِي أَخَذْتُكَ وَهُوَذَا أَنْتَ قَدْ بَارَكْتَهُمْ».
12 So he answered and said, "Must I not take heed to speak what the Lord has put in my mouth?"	12 فَأَجَابَ: «أَمَا الذِي يَضَعُهُ الرَّبُّ فِي فَمِي أَحْتَرِصُ أَنْ أَتَكَلمَ بِهِ؟»
13 Then Balak said to him, "Please come with me to another place from which you may see them; you shall see only the outer part of them, and shall not see them all; curse them for me from there."	13 فَقَال لهُ بَالاقُ: «هَلُمَّ مَعِي إِلى مَكَانٍ آخَرَ تَرَاهُ مِنْهُ. إِنَّمَا تَرَى أَقْصَاءَهُ فَقَطْ وَكُلهُ لا تَرَى. فَالعَنْهُ لِي مِنْ هُنَاكَ».
14 So he brought him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.	14 فَأَخَذَهُ إِلى حَقْلِ صُوفِيمَ إِلى رَأْسِ الفِسْجَةِ وَبَنَى سَبْعَةَ مَذَابِحَ وَأَصْعَدَ ثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً عَلى كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ.
15 And he said to Balak, "Stand here by your burnt offering while I meet the Lord over there."	15 فَقَال لِبَالاقَ: «قِفْ هُنَا عِنْدَ مُحْرَقَتِكَ وَأَنَا أُوافِي هُنَاكَ».
16 Then the Lord met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, "Go back to Balak, and thus you shall speak."	16 فَوَافَى الرَّبُّ بَلعَامَ وَوَضَعَ كَلاماً فِي فَمِهِ وَقَال: «ارْجِعْ إِلى بَالاقَ وَتَكَلمْ هَكَذَا».
17 So he came to him, and there he was, standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab were with him. And Balak said to him, "What has the Lord spoken?"	17 فَأَتَى إِليْهِ وَإِذَا هُوَ وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ مُحْرَقَتِهِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ مُوآبَ مَعَهُ. فَسَأَلهُ بَالاقُ: «مَاذَا تَكَلمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ؟»
18 Then he took up his oracle and said: "Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, son of Zippor!	18 فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَال: «قُمْ يَا بَالاقُ وَاسْمَعْ. اصْغَ إِليَّ يَا ابْنَ صِفُّورَ.
19 "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?	19 ليْسَ اللهُ إِنْسَاناً فَيَكْذِبَ وَلا ابْنَ إِنْسَانٍ فَيَنْدَمَ. هَل يَقُولُ وَلا يَفْعَلُ؟ أَوْ يَتَكَلمُ وَلا يَفِي؟
20 Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.	20 إِنِّي قَدْ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُبَارِكَ. فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ بَارَكَ فَلا أَرُدُّهُ.
21 "He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord his God is with him, And the shout of a King is among them.	21 لمْ يُبْصِرْ إِثْماً فِي يَعْقُوبَ وَلا رَأَى سُوءاً فِي إِسْرَائِيل. الرَّبُّ إِلهُهُ مَعَهُ. وَهُتَافُ مَلِكٍ فِيهِ.
22 God brings them out of Egypt; He has strength like a wild ox.	22 اَللهُ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ. لهُ مِثْلُ سُرْعَةِ الرِّئْمِ.
23 "For there is no sorcery against Jacob, Nor any divination against Israel. It now must be said of Jacob And of Israel, 'Oh, what God has done!'	23 إِنَّهُ ليْسَ عِيَافَةٌ عَلى يَعْقُوبَ وَلا عِرَافَةٌ عَلى إِسْرَائِيل. فِي الوَقْتِ يُقَالُ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ وَعَنْ إِسْرَائِيل مَا فَعَل اللهُ.
24 Look, a people rises like a lioness, And lifts itself up like a lion; It shall not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of the slain."	24 هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ يَقُومُ كَلبْوَةٍ وَيَرْتَفِعُ كَأَسَدٍ. لا يَنَامُ حَتَّى يَأْكُل فَرِيسَةً وَيَشْرَبَ دَمَ قَتْلى».
25 Then Balak said to Balaam, "Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all!"	25 فَقَال بَالاقُ لِبَلعَامَ: «لا تَلعَنْهُ لعْنَةً وَلا تُبَارِكْهُ بَرَكَةً».
26 So Balaam answered and said to Balak, "Did I not tell you, saying, 'All that the Lord speaks, that I must do'?"	26 فَأَجَابَ بَلعَامُ: «أَلمْ أُكَلِّمْكَ قَائِلاً: كُلُّ مَا يَتَكَلمُ بِهِ الرَّبُّ فَإِيَّاهُ أَفْعَلُ؟»
27 Then Balak said to Balaam, "Please come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there."	27 فَقَال بَالاقُ لِبَلعَامَ: «هَلُمَّ آخُذْكَ إِلى مَكَانٍ آخَرَ؟ عَسَى أَنْ يَصْلُحَ فِي عَيْنَيِ اللهِ أَنْ تَلعَنَهُ لِي مِنْ هُنَاكَ».
28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that overlooks the wasteland.	28 فَأَخَذَ بَالاقُ بَلعَامَ إِلى رَأْسِ فَغُورَ المُشْرِفِ عَلى وَجْهِ البَرِّيَّةِ.
29 Then Balaam said to Balak, "Build for me here seven altars, and prepare for me here seven bulls and seven rams."	29 فَقَال بَلعَامُ لِبَالاقَ: «ابْنِ لِي هَهُنَا سَبْعَةَ مَذَابِحَ وَهَيِّئْ لِي هَهُنَا سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ».
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on every altar.	30 فَفَعَل بَالاقُ كَمَا قَال بَلعَامُ وَأَصْعَدَ ثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً عَلى كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ.
