ଗଣନା ପୁସ୍ତକ 23:18-29

18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:

19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.

22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.

23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.

25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speaketh, that I must do?

27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.

28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.

29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

18 ତା'ପରେ ବିଲିଯମ କହିଲେ,
And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:

19 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ମନୁଷ୍ଯ ନୁହଁନ୍ତି, ସେ ମିଥ୍ଯା କହିବେ ନାହିଁ। ସେ ମଧ୍ଯ ମନୁଷ୍ଯ ନୁହଁନ୍ତି। ସେ ତାଙ୍କର ସିଦ୍ଧାନ୍ତ ବଦଳାଇବେ ନାହିଁ। ସେ କହିବେ କି ଯାହା ସେ କରିବେ ନାହିଁ? ନା! ସେ କହିବେ କି ଏବଂ ତାହା ହବେ ନାହିଁ? ନା!
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

20 ଦେଖ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କରିବାକୁ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦଇେଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ନିଜେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ଏଣୁ ମୁଁ ଏହା ଅନ୍ୟଥା କରି ନପା ରେ।
Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

21 ସେ ଯାକୁବ ପରିବାରର ପାପ ଦେଖନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ। ଏବଂ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ମଧିଅରେ ପାପ ଦେଖି ନାହାଁନ୍ତି। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପରମେଶ୍ବର ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସହିତ ଅଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନଙ୍କେ ରାଜାଙ୍କର ଜଯଧ୍ବନୀ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ମଧିଅରେ ଥିଲା।
He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.

22 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ମିଶରରୁ ବାହାର କରି ଆଣି ଅଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଅରଣା ଗୋରୁର ଶିଙ୍ଗ ପରି ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ।
God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.

23 କୈଣସି ଶକ୍ତି ୟାବୁକ ବଂଶକୁ ପରାସ୍ତ କରି ପାରିବ ନାହିଁ କିମ୍ବା କୌଣସି ମନ୍ତ୍ର ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲକୁ ନିବୃତ୍ତ କରିପାରିବ ନାହିଁ। ଏହି କ୍ଷଣି ଯାକୁବ ଓ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ବିଷଯ ରେ କୁହାୟିବ; 'ପରମେଶ୍ବର କି କର୍ମ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି।'
Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

24 ଦେଖ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ସିଂହ ବିକ୍ରମ ରେ ଲଢୁଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ସିଂହ ପରି ଉଠୁଛନ୍ତି। ଯେ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସେ ସିଂହ ଶିକାର ଭୋଜନ ନ କରିଛି ଓ ହତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ରକ୍ତ ପାନ ନ କରିଛ, ସେ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଶଯନ କରିବ ନାହିଁ।
Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.

25 ଅନନ୍ତର ବାଲାକ୍ ବିଲିଯମୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କିଛି ଶାପ ଦିଅ ନାହିଁ କିମ୍ବା ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କର ନାହିଁ।
And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

26 ବିଲିଯମ ବାଲାକ୍ କୁ କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କହିଅଛ ଯେ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ ଯାହା କହିବେ ମୁଁ ତାହା କରିବି।
But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speaketh, that I must do?

27 ତା'ପରେ ବାଲାକ୍ ବିଲିଯମକୁ କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ ବିନଯ କରୁଅଛି, ଦୟାକରି ଆସ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଅନ୍ୟ ଏକ ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ନଇେ ୟିବି। ଏହା ଏପରି ହାଇପୋ ରେ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଦୟାପୂର୍ବକ ହାଇେ ସେ ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଶାପ ଦବୋକୁ ଅନୁମତି ଦଇେ ପାରନ୍ତି।
And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.

28 ଏଣୁ ବାଲାକ୍ ବିଲିଯମ ମରୁଭୂମି ଅଭିମୁଖ ରେ ପିୟୋର ଶିଖରକୁ ନଇଗେଲେ।
And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.

29 ତହୁଁ ବିଲିଯମ ବାଲାକ୍ କୁ କହିଲେ, ଏହି ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ମାେ ପାଇଁ ସାତ ଗୋଟି ୟଜ୍ଞବଦେୀ ନିର୍ମାଣ କର ଓ ଏହି ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ମାେ ପାଇଁ ସାତଟି ଷଣ୍ତ ଓ ସାତଟି ଅଣ୍ତିରା ମଷେ ଆଯୋଜନ କର।
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
