Números 23
Grunewald-Ubersetzung
1Da sprach Bileam zu Balak: "Baue mir der Altäre sieben und bereite mir hier sieben junge Stiere und sieben Widder!"
2Und Balak tat, wie Bileam verlangt hatte. So brachten Balak und Bileam Stiere und Widder auf den Altären dar.
3Da sprach Bileam zu Balak: "Bleibe du bei deinem Brandopfer! Ich aber will hingehen. Vielleicht tritt mir der Herr entgegen. Was er mich schauen läßt, melde ich dir." So ging er in die Einsamkeit.
4Da begegnete Gott dem Bileam. Und Bileam sprach zu ihm: "Ich habe der Altäre sieben hergerichtet und Stiere und Widder auf den Altären dargebracht."
5Da legte der Herr dem Bileam ein Wort in den Mund und sprach: "Zu Balak kehr um und sprich also!"
6Da kehrte er zu ihm zurück; er aber stand noch bei seinem Brandopfer, er und alle Häuptlinge Moabs.
7Da hob er seinen Spruch an und sprach: "Aus Aram holt mich Balak,der König Moabs, aus des Ostlands Bergen:'Hierher! Verfluch mir Jakob!Hierher! Beschreie Israel!'
8Wie soll ich fluchen dem, dem Gott nicht flucht?Wie den beschreien, den nicht der Herr beschreit?
9Ich seh' es von den Felsenspitzen;ich schau es von den Hügeln.fürwahr, ein Volk, das abgesondert wohnt und unter Heiden sich nicht mischt!
10Wer zählt denn Jakobs Staub?Wer mißt denn Israels feinen Staub?Möcht' ich das Sterben der Gerechten sterben!Und möcht' mein Ende wie das ihre sein!"
11Da sprach Balak zu Bileam: "Was hast du mir getan? Meine Feinde zu verwünschen hole ich dich, und nun segnest du sie."
12Da antwortete er und sprach: "Muß ich nicht genau aussprechen, was mir der Herr in den Mund legt?"
13Da sprach Balak zu ihm: "Geh mit mir an einen anderen Ort, von wo du es noch sehen kannst! Nur Umrisse brauchst du zu sehen. Ganz brauchst du es nicht zu sehen. So verwünsche es mir von dort!"
14So nahm er ihn nach dem Späherfelde zur Höhe des Pisga, baute dort sieben Altäre und opferte Stiere und Widder auf den Altären.
15Da sprach Bileam zu Balak: "Bleib hier bei deinem Brandopfer! Ich aber gehe dorthin zu der Begegnung."
16Da begegnete der Herr dem Bileam, legte ihm ein Wort in den Mund und sprach- "Kehre zu Balak zurück und rede so!"
17Da kam er zu ihm. Er aber stand noch bei seinem Brandopfer, und die Häuptlinge Moabs bei ihm. Und Balak sprach zu ihm: "Was hat der Herr geredet?"
18Da hob er seinen Spruch an, also sprechend: "Auf, Balak! HöreDu, Sohn des Sippor, hör mir zu!
19Nicht ist Gott wie ein Mann, daß er Sein Wort nicht hielte,nicht wie ein Menschenkind, daß er bereute.Soll er nur reden und nichts tun,verheißen und dann nichts erfüllen?
20Fürwahr, von Segen habe ich vernommen,er hat gesegnet. Ich kann's nicht wenden.
21In Jakob sieht man nichts Verkehrtes;in Israel schaut man kein Ungemach.Der Herr, sein Gott,mit ihm; bei ihm ist Kriegsjubel.
22Gott hat es aus Ägypten weggeführt.Wie Wisents Hörner ist er ihm.
23Denn gegen Jakob hilft nicht Zauberkunstund nicht Beschwörung gegen Israel.Schon wird es Israel und Jakob angekündigt,was Gott im Werke hat.
24Dies Volk! Wie eine Löwin steht es auf,erhebt sich einem Löwen gleich,und legt sich nicht, eh' es den Raub verzehrtund von Erschlagenen Blut getrunken."
25Da sprach Balak zu Bileam: "Verwünschest du es nicht, dann brauchst du es auch nicht zu segnen."
26Da antwortete Bileam und sprach zu Balak: "Habe ich dir nicht gesagt: 'Ich tue, was der Herr mir sagt'?"
27Da sprach Balak zu Bileam: "So geh! Ich nehme dich an einen anderen Ort. Vielleicht ist es Gott genehm, daß du es von dort aus mir verfluchst."
28Und Balak nahm Bileam auf den Gipfel des Peor, der auf das Ödland herabschaut.
29Da sprach Bileam zu Balak: "Bau mir hier der Altäre sieben und richte mir hier sieben junge Stiere und sieben Widder her!"
30Da tat Balak, wie Bileam gesagt, und opferte auf den Altären Stiere und Widder.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y BALAAM dijo á Balac: Edifícame aquí siete altares, y prepárame aquí siete becerros y siete carneros.
2Y Balac hizo como le dijo Balaam: y ofrecieron Balac y Balaam un becerro y un carnero en cada altar.
3Y Balaam dijo á Balac: Ponte junto á tu holocausto, y yo iré: quizá Jehová me vendrá al encuentro, y cualquiera cosa que me mostrare, te la noticiaré. Y así se fué solo.
4Y vino Dios al encuentro de Balaam, y éste le dijo: Siete altares he ordenado, y en cada altar he ofrecido un becerro y un carnero.
5Y Jehová puso palabra en la boca de Balaam, y díjole: Vuelve á Balac, y has de hablar así.
6Y volvió á él, y he aquí estaba él junto á su holocausto, él y todos los príncipes de Moab.
7Y él tomó su parábola, y dijo: De Aram me trajo Balac, rey de Moab, de los montes del oriente: ven, maldíceme á Jacob; y ven, execra á Israel.
8¿Por qué maldeciré yo al que Dios no maldijo? ¿y por qué he de execrar al que Jehová no ha execrado?
9Porque de la cumbre de las peñas lo veré, y desde los collados lo miraré: he aquí un pueblo que habitará confiado, y no será contado entre las gentes.
10¿Quién contará el polvo de Jacob, o el número de la cuarta parte de Israel? Muera mi persona de la muerte de los rectos, y mi postrimería sea como la suya.
11Entonces Balac dijo á Balaam: ¿Qué me has hecho? hete tomado para que maldigas á mis enemigos, y he aquí has proferido bendiciones.
12Y él respondió, y dijo: ¿No observaré yo lo que Jehová pusiere en mi boca para decirlo?
13Y dijo Balac: Ruégote que vengas conmigo á otro lugar desde el cual lo veas; su extremidad solamente verás, que no lo verás todo; y desde allí me lo maldecirás.
14Y llevólo al campo de Sophim, á la cumbre de Pisga, y edificó siete altares, y ofreció un becerro y un carnero en cada altar.
15Entonces él dijo á Balac: Ponte aquí junto á tu holocausto, y yo iré á encontrar á Dios allí.
16Y Jehová salió al encuentro de Balaam, y puso palabra en su boca, y díjole: Vuelve á Balac, y así has de decir.
17Y vino á él, y he aquí que él estaba junto á su holocausto, y con él los príncipes de Moab: y díjole Balac: ¿Qué ha dicho Jehová?
18Entonces él tomó su parábola, y dijo: Balac, levántate y oye; escucha mis palabras, hijo de Zippor:
19Dios no es hombre, para que mienta; ni hijo de hombre para que se arrepienta: el dijo, ¿y no hará?; habló, ¿y no lo ejecutará?
20He aquí, yo he tomado bendición: y él bendijo, y no podré revocarla.
21No ha notado iniquidad en Jacob, ni ha visto perversidad en Israel: Jehová su Dios es con él, y júbilo de rey en él.
22Dios los ha sacado de Egipto; tiene fuerzas como de unicornio.
23Porque en Jacob no hay agüero, ni adivinación en Israel: como ahora, será dicho de Jacob y de Israel: ¡Lo que ha hecho Dios!
24He aquí el pueblo, que como león se levantará, y como león se erguirá: no se echará hasta que coma la presa, y beba la sangre de los muertos.
25Entonces Balac dijo á Balaam: Ya que no lo maldices, ni tampoco lo bendigas.
26Y Balaam respondió, y dijo á Balac: ¿No te he dicho que todo lo que Jehová me dijere, aquello tengo de hacer?
27Y dijo Balac á Balaam: Ruégote que vengas, te llevaré á otro lugar; por ventura parecerá bien á Dios que desde allí me lo maldigas.
28Y Balac llevó á Balaam á la cumbre de Peor, que mira hacia Jesimón.
29Entonces Balaam dijo á Balac: Edifícame aquí siete altares, y prepárame aquí siete becerros y siete carneros.
30Y Balac hizo como Balaam le dijo; y ofreció un becerro y un carnero en cada altar.
King James Version
1And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
2And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
3And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
4And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
5And the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
6And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
7And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
8How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
9For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
11And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
12And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
13And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
14And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
15And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the Lord yonder.
16And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
17And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
18And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
19God 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?
20Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
21He 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.
22God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
23Surely 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!
24Behold, 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.
25And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
26But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
27And 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.
28And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
29And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
30And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
World English Bible
1Balaam said to Balak, “Build here seven altars for me, and prepare here seven bulls and seven rams for me.”
2Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.
3Balaam said to Balak, “Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps the LORD will come to meet me. Whatever he shows me I will tell you.” He went to a bare height.
4God met Balaam, and he said to him, “I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.”
5The LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”
6He returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
7He took up his parable, and said, “From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.
8How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy whom the LORD has not defied?
9For from the top of the rocks I see him. From the hills I see him. Behold, it is a people that dwells alone, and shall not be listed among the nations.
10Who can count the dust of Jacob, or count the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous! Let my last end be like his!”
11Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether.”
12He answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD puts in my mouth?”
13Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.”
14He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
15He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”
16The LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and say this.”
17He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, “What has the LORD spoken?”
18He took up his parable, and said, “Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, you son of Zippor.
19God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and he won’t do it? Or has he spoken, and he won’t make it good?
20Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can’t reverse it.
21He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. The LORD his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.
22God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.
23Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What has God done!’
24Behold, a people rises up as a lioness. As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”
25Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”
26But Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that the LORD speaks, that I must do’?”
27Balak said to Balaam, “Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.”
28Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert.
29Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here.”
30Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
