¹

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

И҆ ви́дѣвъ валаа́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ добро̀ є҆́сть пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ благословлѧ́ти і҆и҃лѧ, не и҆́де по ѡ҆бы́чаю своемꙋ̀ въ срѣ́тенїе волхвова́нїємъ, и҆ возвратѝ лицѐ своѐ въ пꙋсты́ню.

²

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

²

И҆ возве́дъ валаа́мъ ѻ҆́чи своѝ, оу҆зрѣ̀ і҆и҃лѧ ѡ҆полчи́вшасѧ по племенѡ́мъ: и҆ бы́сть дх҃ъ бж҃їй на не́мъ.

³

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

³

И҆ воспрїи́мъ при́тчꙋ свою̀ речѐ: глаго́летъ валаа́мъ, сы́нъ веѡ́ровъ, глаго́летъ человѣ́къ и҆́стиннѡ зрѧ́й,

⁴

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

⁴

глаго́летъ слꙋ́шаѧй словеса̀ крѣ́пкагѡ, и҆́же видѣ́нїе бж҃їе ви́дѣ во снѣ̀: ѿвє́рсты ѻ҆́чи є҆гѡ̀:

⁵

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

⁵

ко́ль добрѝ до́ми твоѝ, і҆а́кѡве, и҆ кꙋ́щы твоѧ̑, і҆и҃лю:

⁶

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

⁶

ꙗ҆́кѡ дꙋбра̑вы ѡ҆сѣнѧ́ющыѧ и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ са́дїе при рѣка́хъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ кꙋ́щы, ꙗ҆̀же водрꙋзѝ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ке́дри при вода́хъ:

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

и҆зы́детъ человѣ́къ ѿ сѣ́мене є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆блада́етъ ꙗ҆зы̑ки мно́гими: и҆ возвы́ситсѧ па́че гѡ́га ца́рство є҆гѡ̀, и҆ возрасте́тъ ца́рство є҆гѡ̀:

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

бг҃ъ и҆зведѐ є҆го̀ и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта, ꙗ҆́коже сла́ва є҆диноро́га є҆мꙋ̀: поѧ́стъ ꙗ҆зы́ки вра̑гъ свои́хъ и҆ то́лщы и҆́хъ и҆зможди́тъ, и҆ стрѣла́ми свои́ми оу҆стрѣли́тъ врага̀:

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

возле́гъ почѝ ꙗ҆́кѡ ле́въ и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ скѵ́менъ: кто̀ возбꙋ́дитъ є҆го̀; благословѧ́щїи тѧ̀ благослове́ни, и҆ проклина́ющїи тѧ̀ про́клѧти.

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

И҆ разгнѣ́васѧ вала́къ на валаа́ма, и҆ плеснꙋ̀ рꙋка́ми свои́ми, и҆ речѐ вала́къ къ валаа́мꙋ: клѧ́ти тѧ̀ врага̀ моего̀ призва́хъ, и҆ сѐ, благословлѧ́ѧ благослови́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ въ тре́тїе:

¹¹

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

¹¹

нн҃ѣ оу҆̀бо бѣжѝ на мѣ́сто своѐ: реко́хъ, почтꙋ́ тѧ: и҆ нн҃ѣ лиши́ тѧ гдⷭ҇ь сла́вы.

¹²

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

¹²

И҆ речѐ валаа́мъ къ вала́кꙋ: и҆ послѡ́мъ твои̑мъ, и҆̀хже посла́лъ є҆сѝ ко мнѣ̀, не реко́хъ ли, глаго́лѧ:

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

а҆́ще мѝ да́стъ вала́къ хра́минꙋ свою̀ по́лнꙋ сребра̀ и҆ зла́та, не могꙋ̀ престꙋпи́ти сло́ва бж҃їѧ, є҆́же сотвори́ти є҆̀ ѕло̀ и҆лѝ добро̀ ѿ менє̀ сама́гѡ: є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще рече́тъ мѝ бг҃ъ, сїѧ̑ возглаго́лю;

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

и҆ нн҃ѣ, сѐ, и҆дꙋ̀ до мѣ́ста своегѡ̀: грѧдѝ, присовѣ́тꙋю тебѣ̀, что̀ сотворѧ́тъ лю́дїе сі́и лю́демъ твои̑мъ, въ послѣ̑днѧѧ дни̑.

¹⁵

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

¹⁵

И҆ воспрїи́мъ при́тчꙋ свою̀ речѐ: глаго́летъ валаа́мъ сы́нъ веѡ́ровъ, глаго́летъ человѣ́къ и҆́стиннѡ зрѧ́й,

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

слы́шай словеса̀ бж҃їѧ, оу҆мѣ́ѧ оу҆мѣ́нїе вы́шнѧгѡ и҆ видѣ́нїе бж҃їе ви́дѣвый во снѣ̀: ѿвє́рсты ѻ҆́чи є҆гѡ̀:

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

покажꙋ̀ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ не нн҃ѣ: оу҆блажа́ю, и҆ не приближа́етсѧ: возсїѧ́етъ ѕвѣзда̀ ѿ і҆а́кѡва, и҆ воста́нетъ человѣ́къ ѿ і҆и҃лѧ и҆ погꙋби́тъ кнѧ̑зи мѡави̑тскїѧ, и҆ плѣни́тъ всѧ̑ сы́ны си́ѳѡвы:

¹⁸

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

¹⁸

и҆ бꙋ́детъ є҆дѡ́мъ наслѣ́дїе, и҆ бꙋ́детъ наслѣ́дїе и҆са́ѵъ вра́гъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ і҆и҃ль сотворѝ крѣ́пость:

¹⁹

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

¹⁹

и҆ воста́нетъ ѿ і҆а́кѡва, и҆ погꙋби́тъ спаса́емаго ѿ гра́да.

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

И҆ ви́дѣвъ а҆мали́ка и҆ воспрїи́мъ при́тчꙋ свою̀, речѐ: нача́ло ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ а҆мали́къ, и҆ сѣ́мѧ и҆́хъ поги́бнетъ.

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

И҆ ви́дѣвъ кенео́на и҆ воспрїи́мъ при́тчꙋ свою̀, речѐ: си́льно селе́нїе твоѐ: и҆ а҆́ще положи́ши на ка́мени гнѣздо̀ твоѐ,

²²

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

²²

и҆ а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ веѡ́рꙋ гнѣздо̀ кова́рства, а҆ссѷрі́ане плѣнѧ́тъ тѧ̀.

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

И҆ ви́дѣвъ ѡ҆́га и҆ воспрїи́мъ при́тчꙋ свою̀, речѐ: го́ре, го́ре, кто̀ жи́въ бꙋ́детъ, є҆гда̀ положи́тъ бг҃ъ сїѧ̑;

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

и҆ и҆зы́дꙋтъ и҆з̾ рꙋ́къ китїе́йскихъ, и҆ ѡ҆ѕло́бѧтъ а҆ссꙋ́ра, и҆ ѡ҆ѕло́бѧтъ є҆вре́ѡвъ, и҆ са́ми вкꙋ́пѣ поги́бнꙋтъ.

²⁵

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

²⁵

И҆ воста́въ валаа́мъ ѿи́де, возврати́всѧ на мѣ́сто своѐ: и҆ вала́къ ѿи́де къ себѣ̀.
