Numbers 23

And Balaam said to Balac, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven calves, and seven rams.

ΚΑΙ εἶπε Βαλαὰμ τῷ Βαλάκ· οἰκοδόμησόν μοι ἐνταῦθα ἑπτὰ βωμοὺς καὶ ἑτοίμασόν μοι ἐνταῦθα ἑπτὰ μόσχους καὶ ἑπτὰ κριούς.

И҆ речѐ валаа́мъ къ вала́кꙋ: сози́жди мнѣ̀ здѣ̀ се́дмь тре́бищъ, и҆ ᲂу҆гото́вай мнѣ̀ здѣ̀ се́дмь тельцє́въ и҆ се́дмь ѻ҆внѡ́въ.

And Balac did as Balaam told him; and he offered up a calf and a ram on [every] altar.

καὶ ἐποίησε Βαλὰκ ὃν τρόπον εἶπεν αὐτῷ Βαλαάμ, καὶ ἀνήνεγκε μόσχον καὶ κριὸν ἐπὶ τὸν βωμόν.

И҆ сотворѝ вала́къ, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ валаа́мъ: и҆ вознесѐ тельца̀ и҆ ѻ҆вна̀ на тре́бище.

And Balaam said to Balac, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go and see if God will appear to me and meet me, and the word which he shall shew me, I will report to thee. And Balac stood by his sacrifice.

καὶ εἶπε Βαλαὰμ πρὸς Βαλάκ· παράστηθι ἐπὶ τῆς θυσίας σου, καὶ πορεύσομαι εἴ μοι φανεῖται ὁ Θεὸς ἐν συναντήσει, καὶ ῥῆμα, ὃ ἐάν μοι δείξῃ, ἀναγγελῶ σοι. καὶ παρέστη Βαλὰκ ἐπὶ τῆς θυσίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ Βαλαὰμ ἐπορεύθη ἐπερωτῆσαι τὸν Θεὸν καὶ ἐπορεύθη εὐθεῖαν.

И҆ речѐ валаа́мъ къ вала́кꙋ: ста́ни ᲂу҆ тре́бы своеѧ̀, и҆ пойдꙋ̀, а҆́ще ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ мнѣ̀ бг҃ъ въ срѣ́тенїе, и҆ сло́во, є҆́же мнѣ̀ ᲂу҆ка́жетъ, повѣ́мъ тебѣ̀. И҆ ста̀ вала́къ ᲂу҆ тре́бы своеѧ̀.

And Balaam went to enquire of God; and he went straight forward, and God appeared to Balaam; and Balaam said to him, I have prepared the seven altars, and have offered a calf and a ram on [every] altar.

καὶ ἐφάνη ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Βαλαάμ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Βαλαάμ· τοὺς ἑπτὰ βωμοὺς ἡτοίμασα καὶ ἀνεβίβασα μόσχον καὶ κριὸν ἐπὶ τὸν βωμόν.

И҆ валаа́мъ и҆́де вопроси́ти бг҃а, и҆ и҆́де прѧ́мѡ: и҆ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ бг҃ъ валаа́мꙋ. И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ валаа́мъ: се́дмь тре́бищъ и҆згото́вихъ и҆ возложи́хъ тельца̀ и҆ ѻ҆вна̀ на тре́бище.

And he returned to him, and moreover he stood over his whole-burnt-offerings, and all the princes of Moab with him; and the Spirit of God came upon him.

καὶ ἀπεστράφη πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ὅδε ἐφειστήκει ἐπὶ τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες Μωὰβ μετ’ αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐγενήθη πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἐπ’ αὐτῷ,

И҆ возврати́сѧ къ немꙋ̀: ѻ҆́нъ же стоѧ́ше ᲂу҆ всесожже́нїй свои́хъ, и҆ всѝ кнѧ̑зи мѡа̑вли съ ни́мъ: и҆ бы́сть дх҃ъ бж҃їй на не́мъ.

And he took up his parable, and said, Balac king of Moab sent for me out of Mesopotamia, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and Come, call for a curse for me upon Israel.

καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν· ἐκ Μεσοποταμίας μετεπέμψατό με Βαλάκ, βασιλεὺς Μωάβ, ἐξ ὀρέων ἀπ’ ἀνατολῶν λέγων· δεῦρο ἄρασαί μοι τὸν ᾿Ιακὼβ καὶ δεῦρο ἐπικατάρασαί μοι τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ.

И҆ воспрїи́мъ при́тчꙋ свою̀ речѐ: ѿ месопота́мїи приведе́ мѧ вала́къ ца́рь мѡа́вль, ѿ го́ръ восто́чныхъ, глаго́лѧ: грѧдѝ, проклени́ ми і҆а́кѡва, и҆ грѧдѝ, проклени́ ми і҆и҃лѧ:

How can I curse whom the Lord curses not? or how can I devote whom God devotes not?

τί ἀράσωμαι ὃν μὴ ἀρᾶται Κύριος, ἢ τί καταράσωμαι ὃν μὴ καταρᾶται ὁ Θεός;

что̀ прокленꙋ̀, є҆гѡ́же не клене́тъ гдⷭ҇ь; и҆лѝ что̀ ѕло̀ рекꙋ̀, є҆гѡ́же не ѕлосло́витъ бг҃ъ;

For from the top of the mountains I shall see him, and from the hills I shall observe him: behold, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

ὅτι ἀπὸ κορυφῆς ὀρέων ὄψομαι αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπὸ βουνῶν προσνοήσω αὐτόν. ἰδοὺ λαὸς μόνος κατοικήσει καὶ ἐν ἔθνεσιν οὐ συλλογισθήσεται.

ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ верха̀ го́ръ ᲂу҆зрю̀ є҆го̀ и҆ ѿ хѡ́лмъ проꙋразꙋмѣ́ю є҆го̀: сѐ, лю́дїе є҆ди́ни населѧ́тсѧ и҆ со ꙗ҆зы̑ки не вмѣнѧ́тсѧ:

And Balac said to Balaam, What hast thou done to me? I called thee to curse my enemies, and behold thou hast greatly blessed [them].

καὶ εἶπε Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαάμ· τί πεποίηκάς μοι; εἰς κατάρασιν ἐχθρῶν μου κέκληκά σε, καὶ ἰδοὺ εὐλόγηκας εὐλογίαν.

И҆ речѐ вала́къ къ валаа́мꙋ: что̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ мѝ; на проклѧ́тїе вра̑гъ мои́хъ призва́хъ тѧ̀, и҆ сѐ, благослови́лъ є҆сѝ (ѧ҆̀) благослове́нїемъ.

And Balaam said to Balac, Whatsoever the Lord shall put into my mouth, shall I not take heed to speak this?

καὶ εἶπε Βαλαὰμ πρὸς Βαλάκ· οὐχὶ ὅσα ἂν ἐμβάλῃ ὁ Θεὸς εἰς τὸ στόμα μου, τοῦτο φυλάξω λαλῆσαι;

И҆ речѐ валаа́мъ къ вала́кꙋ: не є҆ли̑ка ли вло́житъ бг҃ъ во ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑, сїѐ сохраню̀ глаго́лати;

And Balac said to him, Come yet with me to another place where thou shalt not see the people, but only thou shalt see a part of them, and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence.

Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Βαλάκ· δεῦρο ἔτι μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς τόπον ἄλλον, ἐξ οὗ οὐκ ὄψει αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν, ἀλλ’ ἢ μέρος τι αὐτοῦ ὄψει, πάντας δὲ οὐ μὴ ἴδῃς, καὶ κατάρασαί μοι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν.

И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ вала́къ: пойдѝ є҆щѐ со мно́ю на мѣ́сто и҆́но, съ негѡ́же не ᲂу҆́зриши и҆́хъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ, но ра́звѣ ча́сть нѣ́кꙋю и҆́хъ ᲂу҆́зриши, всѣ́хъ же не ᲂу҆́зриши, и҆ проклени́ ми и҆̀хъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ.

And he took him to a high place of the field to the top of the quarried [rock], and he built there seven altars, and offered a calf and a ram on [every] altar.

καὶ παρέλαβεν αὐτὸν εἰς ἀγροῦ σκοπιὰν ἐπὶ κορυφὴν λελαξευμένου καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ ἑπτὰ βωμοὺς καὶ ἀνεβίβασε μόσχον καὶ κριὸν ἐπὶ τὸν βωμόν.

И҆ поѧ̀ є҆го̀ на стра́жꙋ села̀, на ве́рхъ и҆сте́санагѡ, и҆ созда̀ та́мѡ се́дмь тре́бищъ, и҆ возложѝ тельца̀ и҆ ѻ҆вна̀ на тре́бище.

And Balaam said to Balac, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go to enquire of God.

καὶ εἶπε Βαλαὰμ πρός Βαλάκ· παράστηθι ἐπὶ τῆς θυσίας σου, ἐγὼ δὲ πορεύσομαι ἐπερωτῆσαι τὸν Θεόν.

И҆ речѐ валаа́мъ къ вала́кꙋ: ста́ни ᲂу҆ тре́бы своеѧ̀, а҆́зъ же пойдꙋ̀ вопроси́ти бг҃а.

And God met Balaam, and put a word into his mouth, and said, return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak.

καὶ συνήντησεν ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Βαλαὰμ καὶ ἐνέβαλε ρῆμα εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· ἀποστράφηθι πρὸς Βαλὰκ καὶ τάδε λαλήσεις.

И҆ срѣ́те бг҃ъ валаа́ма, и҆ вложѝ сло́во во ᲂу҆ста̀ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ речѐ: возврати́сѧ къ вала́кꙋ, и҆ рече́ши сїѧ̑.

And he returned to him: and he also as standing by his whole-burnt-sacrifice, and all the princes of Moab with him; and Balac said to him, What has the Lord spoken?

καὶ ἀπεστράφη πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ὅδε ἐφειστήκει ἐπὶ τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες Μωὰβ μετ’ αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Βαλάκ· τί ἐλάλησε Κύριος;

И҆ возврати́сѧ къ немꙋ̀: ѻ҆́нъ же стоѧ́ше ᲂу҆ всесожже́нїй свои́хъ, и҆ всѝ кнѧ̑зи мѡа̑вли съ ни́мъ. И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ вала́къ: что̀ гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь;

And he took up his parable, and said, rise up, Balac, and hear; hearken as a witness, thou son of Sepphor.

καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν· ἀνάστηθι Βαλάκ, καὶ ἄκουε· ἐνώτισαι μάρτυς, υἱὸς Σεπφώρ.

И҆ воспрїи́мъ при́тчꙋ свою̀, речѐ: воста́ни, вала́къ, и҆ послꙋ́шай, внꙋшѝ свидѣ́тель, сы́не сепфѡ́ровъ:

God is not as man to waver, nor as the son of man to be threatened; shall he say and not perform? shall he speak and not keep [to his word]?

οὐχ ὡς ἄνθρωπος ὁ Θεὸς διαρτηθῆναι, οὐδ’ ὡς υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ἀπειληθῆναι· αὐτὸς εἴπας, οὐχὶ ποιήσει; λαλήσει, καὶ οὐχὶ ἐμμενεῖ;

не ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ́къ бг҃ъ коле́блетсѧ, нижѐ ꙗ҆́кѡ сы́нъ человѣ́ческїй и҆змѣнѧ́етсѧ: то́й гл҃аше, не сотвори́тъ ли; рече́тъ, и҆ не пребꙋ́детъ ли;

Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: I will bless, and not turn back.

ἰδοὺ εὐλογεῖν παρείλημμαι· εὐλογήσω καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστρέψω.

сѐ, благословлѧ́ти приведе́нъ є҆́смь: благословлю̀, и҆ не ѿвращꙋ̀:

There shall not be trouble in Jacob, neither shall sorrow be seen in Israel: the Lord his God [is] with him, the glories of rulers [are] in him.

οὐκ ἔσται μόχθος ἐν ᾿Ιακώβ, οὐδὲ ὀφθήσεται πόνος ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ· Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ, τὰ ἔνδοξα ἀρχόντων ἐν αὐτῷ·

не бꙋ́детъ трꙋда̀ во і҆а́кѡвѣ, нижѐ ᲂу҆́зритсѧ болѣ́знь во і҆и҃ли: гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ є҆гѡ̀ съ ни́мъ, сла́ва ца́рскаѧ на не́мъ:

It was God who brought him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn.

Θεὸς ὁ ἐξαγαγὼν αὐτοὺς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου· ὡς δόξα μονοκέρωτος αὐτῷ.

бг҃ъ и҆зведы́й є҆го̀ и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта, ꙗ҆́коже сла́ва є҆диноро́га въ не́мъ:

For there is no divination in Jacob, nor enchantment in Israel; in season it shall be told to Jacob and Israel what God shall perform.

οὐ γάρ ἐστιν οἰωνισμὸς ἐν ᾿Ιακώβ, οὐδὲ μαντεία ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ· κατὰ καιρὸν ρηθήσεται ᾿Ιακὼβ καὶ τῷ ᾿Ισραήλ, τί ἐπιτελέσει ὁ Θεός.

нѣ́сть бо вражбы̀ во і҆а́кѡвѣ, нижѐ волхвова́нїѧ во і҆и҃ли: во вре́мѧ нарече́тсѧ і҆а́кѡвꙋ и҆ і҆и҃лю, что̀ соверши́тъ бг҃ъ:

Behold, the people shall rise up as a lion’s whelp, and shall exalt himself as a lion; he shall not lie down till he have eaten the prey, and he shall drink the blood of the slain.

ἰδοὺ λαὸς ὡς σκύμνος ἀναστήσεται καὶ ὡς λέων γαυρωθήσεται· οὐ κοιμηθήσεται, ἕως φάγῃ θήραν, καὶ αἷμα τραυματιῶν πίεται.

сѐ, лю́дїе ꙗ҆́кѡ льви̑чища воста́нꙋтъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ле́въ вознесе́тсѧ: не ᲂу҆́снетъ, до́ндеже снѣ́стъ ло́въ и҆ кро́вь посѣ́ченыхъ и҆спїе́тъ.

And Balac said to Balaam, Neither curse the people at all for me, nor bless them at all.

καὶ εἶπε Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαάμ· οὔτε κατάραις καταράσῃ μοι αὐτὸν οὔτε εὐλογῶν μὴ εὐλογήσῃς αὐτόν.

И҆ речѐ вала́къ къ валаа́мꙋ: ни клѧ́твами мнѣ̀ кленѝ и҆̀хъ, нижѐ благослове́нїемъ благословѝ и҆̀хъ.

And Balaam answered and said to Balac, Spoke I not to thee, saying, Whatsoever thing God shall speak to me, that will I do?

καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς Βαλαὰμ εἶπε τῷ Βαλάκ· οὐκ ἐλάλησά σοι λέγων, τὸ ρῆμα, ὃ ἐὰν λαλήσῃ ὁ Θεός, τοῦτο ποιήσω;

И҆ ѿвѣща́въ валаа́мъ, речѐ къ вала́кꙋ: не рѣ́хъ ли тѝ, глаго́лѧ: сло́во, є҆́же а҆́ще возгл҃етъ бг҃ъ, сїѐ сотворю̀;

And Balac said to Balaam, Come [and] I will remove thee to another place, if it shall please God, and curse me them from thence.

Καὶ εἶπε Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαάμ· δεῦρο παραλάβω σε εἰς τόπον ἄλλον, εἰ ἀρέσει τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ κατάρασαί μοι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν.

И҆ речѐ вала́къ къ валаа́мꙋ: грѧдѝ, поймꙋ́ тѧ на мѣ́сто и҆́но, а҆́ще ᲂу҆го́дно бꙋ́детъ бг҃ꙋ, и҆ проклени́ ми и҆̀хъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ.

And Balac took Balaam to the top of Phogor, which extends to the wilderness.

καὶ παρέλαβε Βαλὰκ τὸν Βαλαὰμ ἐπὶ κορυφὴν τοῦ Φογὼρ τὸ παρατεῖνον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον.

И҆ поѧ̀ вала́къ валаа́ма на ве́рхъ фогѡ́ра, простира́ющасѧ въ пꙋсты́ню.

And Balaam said to Balac, build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven calves, and seven rams.

καὶ εἶπε Βαλαὰμ πρὸς Βαλάκ· οἰκοδόμησόν μοι ὧδε ἑπτὰ βωμοὺς καὶ ἑτοίμασόν μοι ὧδε ἑπτὰ μόσχους καὶ ἑπτὰ κριούς.

И҆ речѐ валаа́мъ къ вала́кꙋ: сози́жди мнѣ̀ здѣ̀ се́дмь тре́бищъ, и҆ ᲂу҆гото́вай мнѣ̀ здѣ̀ се́дмь тельцє́въ и҆ се́дмь ѻ҆внѡ́въ.

And Balac did as Balaam told him, and offered a calf and a ram on [every] altar.

καὶ ἐποίησε Βαλὰκ καθάπερ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Βαλαάμ, καὶ ἀνήνεγκε μόσχον καὶ κριὸν ἐπὶ τὸν βωμόν.

И҆ сотворѝ вала́къ, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ валаа́мъ: и҆ вознесѐ тельца̀ и҆ ѻ҆вна̀ на тре́бище.
