Numeri 24
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
24 Când Balaam a văzut că lui Dumnezeu îi place să-l binecuvânteze pe Israel, n-a mai umblat după farmece ca în celelalte dăţi, ci şi-a întors faţa spre pustie. 2 Ridicându-şi ochii, a văzut pe Israel organizat pe seminţii. Atunci Duhul lui Dumnezeu a venit peste el, 3 iar Balaam a început să rostească oracolul acesta:
„Iată rostirea[a] lui Balaam, fiul lui Beor,
rostirea celui ai cărui ochi sunt deschişi,
4 rostirea celui care aude spusele lui Dumnezeu,
care vede o viziune de la Cel Atotputernic[b],
care este prosternat înaintea Lui şi ai cărui ochi sunt deschişi:
5 «Ce frumoase sunt corturile tale, Iacove,
locuinţele tale, Israele!
6 Se întind ca nişte ueduri[c],
ca nişte grădini lângă un râu,
ca nişte plante de aloe sădite de Domnul,
ca nişte cedri lângă ape.
7 Apa va curge din găleţile lui
şi sămânţa lui va fi udată de ape mari.
Regele lui va fi mai măreţ decât Agag
şi regatul lui va fi înălţat.
8 Dumnezeu l-a scos din Egipt,
i-a dat tăria unui bivol sălbatic.
Va devora neamurile duşmane,
le va zdrobi oasele
şi le va străpunge cu săgeţile lui.
9 Se ghemuieşte, se întinde ca un leu,
ca o leoaică – cine va îndrăzni să-l scoale?
Binecuvântat să fie cel care te binecuvântează
şi blestemat să fie cel care te blestemă!»“
10 Atunci Balak s-a aprins de mânie împotriva lui Balaam. A bătut din palme şi i-a zis lui Balaam:
– Eu te-am chemat ca să-mi blestemi duşmanii, dar tu i-ai binecuvântat de trei ori. 11 Acum fugi, du-te acasă! Am zis că te voi umple de slavă, dar iată că Domnul te-a împiedicat să primeşti slavă.
12 Balaam i-a răspuns lui Balak:
– Nu le-am spus eu oare solilor tăi, pe care i-ai trimis la mine: 13 „Chiar dacă Balak mi-ar da palatul lui plin cu argint şi aur, eu tot n-aş putea să fac nimic de la mine însumi, fie bine, fie rău, dincolo de porunca Domnului, ci voi spune doar ce-mi va zice Domnul.“ 14 Acum mă întorc la poporul meu, dar vino să te avertizez cu privire la ce va face poporul acesta poporului tău, în zilele care vin.
Al patrulea oracol rostit de Balaam
15 Atunci el şi-a rostit oracolul şi a zis:
„Iată rostirea lui Balaam, fiul lui Beor,
rostirea celui ai cărui ochi sunt deschişi,
16 rostirea celui care aude spusele lui Dumnezeu,
care are cunoaşterea Celui Preaînalt,
care vede o viziune de la Cel Atotputernic,
care este prosternat înaintea Lui şi ai cărui ochi sunt deschişi:
17 «Îl văd, dar nu acum,
îl privesc,
dar nu de aproape!
O stea răsare din Iacov,
un sceptru se ridică din Israel.
El va zdrobi căpeteniile[d] Moabului
şi capetele tuturor[e] fiilor lui Şet[f].
18 Edom va fi cucerit;
Seir, duşmanul lui, va fi cucerit,
dar Israel va creşte în putere.
19 Din Iacov va ieşi cel ce va domni
şi-i va distruge pe supravieţuitorii cetăţii.»“
Alte oracole rostite de Balaam
20 Apoi Balaam l-a văzut pe Amalek şi a rostit următorul oracol:
„Amalek a fost primul dintre popoare,
dar sfârşitul lui va fi o pieire veşnică.“
21 Când i-a văzut şi pe cheniţi, a rostit următorul oracol:
„Locuinţa vă este sigură
şi cuibul se află pe o stâncă,
22 dar voi, cheniţilor, veţi fi pustiiţi
atunci când Asurul[g] vă va lua în captivitate.“
23 După aceea a mai rostit următorul oracol:
„Vai! Cine va mai trăi când Dumnezeu va împlini toate acestea?[h]
24 Nişte corăbii vor veni de pe ţărmul Chitimului[i];
ele vor smeri Asurul şi vor smeri Eberul,
dar şi el va pieri pentru totdeauna.“
25 Apoi Balaam s-a ridicat şi s-a întors acasă, iar Balak s-a dus la ale lui.

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.

24 Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel,(A) he did not resort to divination(B) as at other times, but turned his face toward the wilderness.(C) 2 When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came on him(D) 3 and he spoke his message:
“The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor,
the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,(E)
4 the prophecy of one who hears the words of God,(F)
who sees a vision from the Almighty,[a](G)
who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
5 “How beautiful are your tents,(H) Jacob,
your dwelling places, Israel!
6 “Like valleys they spread out,
like gardens beside a river,(I)
like aloes(J) planted by the Lord,
like cedars beside the waters.(K)
7 Water will flow from their buckets;
their seed will have abundant water.
8 “God brought them out of Egypt;
they have the strength of a wild ox.
They devour hostile nations
and break their bones in pieces;(N)
with their arrows they pierce them.(O)
9 Like a lion they crouch and lie down,
like a lioness(P)—who dares to rouse them?
10 Then Balak’s anger burned(S) against Balaam. He struck his hands together(T) and said to him, “I summoned you to curse my enemies,(U) but you have blessed them(V) these three times.(W) 11 Now leave at once and go home!(X) I said I would reward you handsomely,(Y) but the Lord has kept you from being rewarded.”
12 Balaam answered Balak, “Did I not tell the messengers you sent me,(Z) 13 ‘Even if Balak gave me all the silver and gold in his palace, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the Lord(AA)—and I must say only what the Lord says’?(AB) 14 Now I am going back to my people, but come, let me warn you of what this people will do to your people in days to come.”(AC)
Balaam’s Fourth Message
15 Then he spoke his message:
“The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor,
the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,
16 the prophecy of one who hears the words(AD) of God,
who has knowledge from the Most High,(AE)
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
17 “I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not near.(AF)
A star will come out of Jacob;(AG)
a scepter will rise out of Israel.(AH)
He will crush the foreheads of Moab,(AI)
the skulls[b](AJ) of[c] all the people of Sheth.[d]
18 Edom(AK) will be conquered;
Seir,(AL) his enemy, will be conquered,(AM)
but Israel(AN) will grow strong.
19 A ruler will come out of Jacob(AO)
and destroy the survivors of the city.”
Balaam’s Fifth Message
20 Then Balaam saw Amalek(AP) and spoke his message:
“Amalek was first among the nations,
but their end will be utter destruction.”(AQ)
Balaam’s Sixth Message
21 Then he saw the Kenites(AR) and spoke his message:
“Your dwelling place is secure,(AS)
your nest is set in a rock;
22 yet you Kenites will be destroyed
when Ashur(AT) takes you captive.”
Balaam’s Seventh Message
23 Then he spoke his message:
“Alas! Who can live when God does this?[e]
24 Ships will come from the shores of Cyprus;(AU)
they will subdue Ashur(AV) and Eber,(AW)
but they too will come to ruin.(AX)”
25 Then Balaam(AY) got up and returned home, and Balak went his own way.
