民数记 24
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
巴兰第三次预言
24 巴兰见耶和华乐意赐福给以色列人，就不再像先前两次那样去求兆头，而是面向旷野， 2 举目四望，看见以色列人按支派扎营。上帝的灵降在他身上， 3 他便吟诗预言说：
“比珥之子巴兰的预言，
是眼睛明亮者的话，
4 他得听上帝之言，
俯伏在地，
得见全能者的异象。
5 雅各啊，
你的帐篷何等华美！
以色列啊，
你的居所何等佳美！
6 像连绵的山谷，
河畔的园子；
又如耶和华栽种的沉香，
水边的香柏树。
7 他们沐浴充沛的甘霖，
撒种于湿润的沃土。
他们的君王高过亚甲，
国度名震四方。
8 上帝把他们带出埃及，
祂[a]的力量如野牛之角。
他们要吞灭敌国，
打碎敌人的骨头，
用利箭射穿仇敌。
9 他们蹲伏如雄狮，
躺卧如母狮，谁敢招惹？
祝福他们的人有福了！
咒诅他们的人有祸了！”
10 巴勒听了大怒，用力击掌，对巴兰说：“我请你来咒诅我的仇敌，你竟三次祝福他们。 11 现在快回家去吧！我说过要给你重赏，但耶和华不让你得到。” 12 巴兰说：“我不是对你派来的使臣说过吗？ 13 就是你把满屋的金银都给我，我也不能违背耶和华的命令、凭自己的意思行事——无论好事坏事。我只能说耶和华让我说的话。 14 现在我要回本族去了。但我要告诉你日后以色列人会怎样对待你的人民。”
巴兰第四次预言
15 巴兰吟诗预言说：
“比珥之子巴兰的预言，
是眼睛明亮者的话，
16 他得听上帝之言，
明白至高者的旨意，
俯伏在地，
得见全能者的异象。
17 我所见的尚未发生，
我目睹的关乎将来。
一颗星要从雅各家升起，
一位君王要从以色列兴起。
他要打烂摩押的前额，
击碎舍特人的头颅。
18 他必征服以东，
占领敌疆西珥，
以色列必勇往直前。
19 雅各的后裔必掌权，
消灭城中的余民。”
巴兰最后的预言
20 巴兰观看亚玛力人，并以诗歌预言说：
“亚玛力原是列国之首，
但他的结局却是灭亡。”
21 巴兰又观看基尼人，并以诗歌预言说：
“虽然你的居所坚固，
你的巢筑在峭壁，
22 但你必遭灭顶，
被亚述掳去。”
23 巴兰又以诗歌预言说：
“唉！若非上帝许可，
谁能存活呢？
24 船只从基提驶来，
征服亚述和希伯，
但他也要灭亡。”
25 说完，巴兰动身返回家乡，巴勒也回去了。

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
巴蘭第三次預言
24 巴蘭見耶和華喜歡賜福以色列，就不再像前兩次一樣去求觀兆的方法，卻面向曠野。 2 巴蘭舉目，看見以色列人按著支派居住， 神的靈就臨到他身上。 3 他就作歌，說：
“比珥的兒子巴蘭說：
‘有眼光的人說，
4 得聽 神的話語、
得見全能者的異象、
身體仆倒而眼目睜開的人說：
5 雅各啊，你的會幕多麼佳美；
以色列啊，你的帳幕多麼美好！
6 像擴展的棕林，
如河邊的園子，
似耶和華栽種的沉香樹，
又像水旁的香柏樹。
7 必有水從他的桶中流出來，
他的後裔必在多水之處；
他的王必超過亞甲，
他的國度必被高舉。
8 領他出埃及的 神，
對他好像野牛的角；
他要吞吃敵國，
打碎他們的骨頭，
用箭射透他們。
9 他蹲伏躺下，好像公獅，
又像母獅，誰敢使他起立呢？
給你祝福的，願他蒙福；
咒詛你的，願他受咒詛。’”
10 巴勒向巴蘭生氣，就拍起手；巴勒對巴蘭說：“我請你來咒詛我的敵人，如今你反倒祝福他們這三次。 11 現在你逃回你的地方去吧；我說過我要大大地使你得尊榮，但是耶和華阻止你使你不得尊榮。” 12 巴蘭對巴勒說：“我不是告訴了你派來的使者說： 13 ‘就算巴勒把滿屋的金銀給我，我也不能越過耶和華的命令，隨自己的心意行好行歹’嗎？耶和華說甚麼，我就說甚麼。 14 現在我要回我本族去了；你來，我要告訴你這個民族日後要怎樣待你的人民。”
巴蘭第四次預言
15 他就作歌，說：
“比珥的兒子巴蘭說：
‘開著眼的人說，
16 那得聽 神的話語、
明白至高者的知識、
得見全能者的異象、
身體仆倒而眼目睜開的人說：
17 我看見他，卻不是現在；
我望見他，卻不是近處；
必有一星從雅各而出，
必有一杖從以色列興起；
他必打碎摩押的額角，
粉碎一切舍特人的頭頂。
18 他必得以東作產業，
又得仇敵之地西珥作產業；
只有以色列人成為強壯。
19 有一位從雅各而出的必掌大權，
他要除滅城中餘下的人。’”
巴蘭最後預言
20 巴蘭看見了亞瑪力，就作歌，說：
“亞瑪力原是列國之首，
他的結局卻是滅亡。”
21 巴蘭看見了基尼人，就作歌，說：
“你的居所堅固，
你的窩巢建在磐石中；
22 但基尼必被毀滅；
亞述要到幾時才把你擄去呢？”
23 巴蘭又作歌，說：
“哀哉， 神決定這事，誰能得活呢？
24 必有船從基提而來，
苦害亞述，苦害希伯；
他卻要滅亡。”
25 於是巴蘭起來，回自己的地方去；巴勒也回去了。
Numbers 24
King James Version
24 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the Lord hath kept thee back from honour.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the Lord, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the Lord saith, that will I speak?
14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
