And when Balaam saw that it pleased God to bless Israel, he did not go according to his custom to meet the omens, but turned his face toward the wilderness.

¹

И$ ви'дњвъ валаа'м# ја%ко добро` е^сть предъ гм~ъ. блsвити і^и^л~я, не и'де по зако'нђ е^го и^ въ срњте'нїе влъхвова'нїеM, и^ възврати` лице` свое` въ пђсты'ню”

²

And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and sees Israel encamped by their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.

²

И$ възведе` валаа'мъ ѓ%чи свои` и^ ё^зрњ і^и^л~я въполча'ющася съ племенемъ, и^ бы'сть дх~ъ бж~їи на немъ”

³

And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,

³

И$ въспрїимъ при'тча е^го и^ рече. гл~етъ валаа'мъ сн~ъ воѓ%роv гл~етъ чл~къ и%стинны,

⁴

he says who hears the oracle of the Mighty One, who saw a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened:

⁴

гл~етъ слђхаи` словеса крњпкихъ ви'дяи е^ли'ко ви'дњ, видњ'нїе бж~їе въ снњ` эTкрове'нњ ѓ%чи е^го”

⁵

How goodly are thy habitations, Jacob, and thy tents, Israel!

⁵

Ко'ль добрњ до'мове твои і^а'кове. и^ кђща твоя і^и^л~ю”

⁶

as shady groves, and as gardens by a river, and as tents which God pitched, and as cedars by the waters.

⁶

ЈА/ко раздо'лы ѓ^сњня'ющеся. и^ ја^ко са'ди при рњка'хъ, и^ ја%ко кђща ја%же поткнђ` г~ь, а^ки ке'дръ подлъ'гъ воды`”

⁷

There shall come a man out of his seed, and he shall rule over many nations; and the kingdom of Gog shall be exalted, and his kingdom shall be increased.

⁷

И$зы'детъ чл~къ и^с племе'ни твое^го. и^ съвладњ'етъ страна'ми мно'гими, и^ възнесеTся го'гъ цр~ьство е^го, и^ възрасте'тъ”

⁸

God led him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn: he shall consume the nations of his enemies, and he shall drain their marrow, and with his darts he shall shoot through the enemy.

⁸

б~ъ и^зведы'и и^хъ и^зъ е^гљ=пта. а^ки сла'вђ е^дїнорога е^го, и^зъја%стъ странђ` врагъ свои^хъ. и^ тол#стотђ и^хъ и^зможди'тъ, и^ стрела'ми свои^ми застрњ'литъ вра'га”

⁹

He lay down, he rested as a lion, and as a young lion; who shall stir him up? they that bless thee are blessed, and they that curse thee are cursed.

⁹

И$ възлегъ почи` а^ки левъ и^ а^ки лви'щъ, кт^о въста'витъ и&. блsвя'щїи т^я блsвени, а^ кленђщ'їи т^я прокля'ти”

¹⁰

And Balac was angry with Balaam, and clapped his hands together; and Balac said to Balaam, I called thee to curse my enemy, and behold thou hast decidedly blessed him this third time.

¹⁰

И$ раZгнњвася вала'къ на валаа'ма, и^ пле'снђв# рђка'ма свои^ма. И$ рече вала'къ къ валаа'мђ, кля'ти т^я вра'га мое^го призва'хъ, се' же бл~вя'я блsвиши иX тре'тїе”

¹¹

Now therefore flee to thy place: I said, I will honour thee, but now the Lord has deprived thee of glory.

¹¹

Нн~њ ё^бо бњжи` на мњ'сто свое. реко'хъ чsтїю тебе` почsтвова'ти, и^ нн~њ эTня'лъ г~ь эT тебе чsть”

¹²

And Balaam said to Balac, Did I not speak to thy messengers also whom thou sentest to me, saying,

¹²

И$ рече валаа'м# къ вала'кђ, не послоM л^и твои^мъ, и^хже посла` къ мн^њ гл~ах# рекїи”

¹³

If Balac should give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to transgress the word of the Lord to make it good or bad by myself; whatsoever things God shall say, them will I speak.

¹³

А$ще м^и да'сть вала'къ храM е^го по'лнъ сребра` и^ зла'та. не могђ` престђпи'ти сло'ва бж~їя, не сътвори'ти е^мђ ѕл^о и^л^и добро ѓ^ себњ`, е^ли'ко а'ще рече м^и б~ъ т^о гл~ю”

¹⁴

And now, behold, I return to my place; come, I will advise thee of what this people shall do to thy people in the last days.

¹⁴

И$ нн~њ и^дђ до мњ'ста свое^го. ходи` да т^и съвњща'ю чт^о сътворя'тъ лю'дїе сїи, лю'демъ твои^м#, въ послDњняа дн~и”

¹⁵

And he took up his parable and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,

¹⁵

И$ въспрїим# при'тча своа рече. гл~етъ валаа'м#, сн~ъ веѓ%ровъ гл~етъ чл~къ и%стинны” Ви'дяи

¹⁶

hearing the oracles of God, receiving knowledge from the Most High, and having seen a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened.

¹⁶

и^ слы'шаи словеса` бж~їя. ё^мњя ё^мњнїе вы'шняго, и^ видњ'нїе бж~їе ви'дњ въ снњ` эTкрове'ни ѓ%чи е^го”

¹⁷

I will point to him, but not now; I bless him, but he draws not near: a star shall rise out of Jacob, a man shall spring out of Israel; and shall crush the princes of Moab, and shall spoil all the sons of Seth.

¹⁷

Покажђ` е^мђ и^ не нн~њ ё^блажђ`, и^ не приближђ'ся, въсїа'етъ б^о ѕвњзда` эT і^а'кова, и^ въста'нетъ чл~къ эT і^и^л~я и^ погђби'тъ кня'ѕя моа'вля, и^ плени'тъ вс^я сн~ы си'џовы”

¹⁸

And Edom shall be an inheritance, and Esau his enemy shall be an inheritance of Israel, and Israel wrought valiantly.

¹⁸

И$ бђ'детъ е^до'мъ наслњ'дїе, и^ бђдетъ наслњдїе и^са'въ вра'гъ е^го, і^и^л~я сътвори'лъ е^сть крњ'постїю”

¹⁹

And one shall arise out of Jacob, and destroy out of the city him that escapes.

¹⁹

И$ въста'неT эT і^а'кова, и^ погђ'битъ сп~са'емыхъ эT гра'да”

²⁰

And having seen Amalec, he took up his parable and said, Amalec is the first of the nations; yet his seed shall perish.

²⁰

И$ ви'дњвъ а^мали'къ. и^ пои^мъ при'тча своя и^ рече. нача'ло ја%зы'ковъ а^мали'къ и^ сњмя и^хъ поги'бнетъ”

²¹

And having seen the Kenite, he took up his parable and said, Thy dwelling-place is strong; yet though thou shouldest put thy nest in a rock,

²¹

И$ ви'дњ кенеѓ%на, и^ поиM при'тча е^го рече, си'лно ё^си'лїе твое, и^ а'ще положи'ши на ка'мени кђщ'ђ твою`”

²²

and though Beor should have a skilfully contrived hiding-place, the Assyrians shall carry thee away captive.

²²

І$ а'ще бђ'детъ веѓ%рђ кђща кова'ръства. а^сљ=рїи пленя'т# т^я”

²³

And he looked upon Og, and took up his parable and said, Oh, oh, who shall live, when God shall do these things?

²³

И$ ви'дњ ѓ%гъ и^ въспрїимъ при'тча еh и^ рече го'ре го'ре и^ кт^о жи'въ бђдетъ е^гда` положи'тъ б~ъ сїя”

²⁴

And one shall come forth from the hands of the Citians, and shall afflict Assur, and shall afflict the Hebrews, and they shall perish together.

²⁴

І$ и^зы'дет# и^з рђкъ ките'искихъ. и^ съзля'тъ а^са'рђ, и^ съзля'тъ е^вре'ѓ^мъ, и^ т^їи въкђпњ поги'бнђтъ”

²⁵

And Balaam rose up and departed and returned to his place, and Balac went to his own home.

²⁵

И$ въста'въ валаа'мъ эTи'де, възврати'ся на мњсто свое`, и^ валаk эTи'де к немђ`”
