圣母玫瑰园-思高圣经 

【户籍纪】第二十四章  << 上一章 下一章 >>

24:1 巴郎见祝福以色列,为上主所喜悦,就不再像前几次一样先去探求预示,只转面向旷野。
Balaam, however, perceiving that the LORD was pleased to bless Israel, did not go aside as before to seek omens, but turned his gaze toward the desert.
24:2 巴郎一举目,看见了按支派扎营的以色列人;那时天主的神降在他身上,
When he raised his eyes and saw Israel encamped, tribe by tribe, the spirit of God came upon him,
24:3 他遂吟诗说:「贝敖尔的儿子巴郎的神谕,明眼男子的神谕,
and he gave voice to his oracle: The utterance of Balaam, son of Beor, the utterance of the man whose eye is true,
24:4 那听到天主的话,得见全能者的神视,在沉睡中开了神眼的神谕:
The utterance of one who hears what God says, and knows what the Most High knows, Of one who sees what the Almighty sees, enraptured, and with eyes unveiled:
24:5 雅各布伯,你的帐幕,何其壮观!以色列,你的居所,何其美好!
How goodly are your tents, O Jacob; your encampments, O Israel!
24:6 如扩展的棕林,似河畔的花园,像上主栽种的沉香,似临水的香柏。
They are like gardens beside a stream, like the cedars planted by the LORD.
24:7 英雄由他的后裔而出,他将治理许多民族;他的君王超越阿加格,他的王国必受举扬。
His wells shall yield free-flowing waters, he shall have the sea within reach; His king shall rise higher than. . . . and his royalty shall be exalted.
24:8 领他出埃及的天主,为他有如野牛的角。他要吞灭那敌对他的人民,粉碎他们的骨骸,折断他们的箭矢。
It is God who brought him out of Egypt, a wild bull of towering might. He shall devour the nations like grass, their bones he shall strip bare.
24:9 他蹲伏卧下有如雄狮,又似母狮;谁敢令他起立﹖祝福你的,必受祝福;咒骂你的,必受咒骂。」
He lies crouching like a lion, or like a lioness; who shall arouse him? Blessed is he who blesses you, and cursed is he who curses you!
24:10 巴拉克对巴郎大发忿怒,拍手向他说:「我请你来是为咒骂我的仇敌;看,你反祝福他们,且已三次。
Balak beat his palms together in a blaze of anger at Balaam and said to him, "It was to curse my foes that I summoned you here; yet three times now you have even blessed them instead!
24:11 现在你快回你故乡去!我原想丰富地酬谢你,但是,上主夺去了你的酬报。」
Be off at once, then, to your home. I promised to reward you richly, but the LORD has withheld the reward from you!"
24:12 巴郎回答巴拉克说:「我不是已对你遣来的使者声明过:
Balaam replied to Balak, "Did I not warn the very messengers whom you sent to me,
24:13 即使巴拉克给我满屋金银,我也不能违犯上主的命令,任意去行善或作恶,而只能说上主所吩咐的吗﹖
'Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, I could not of my own accord to anything, good or evil, contrary to the command of the LORD'? Whatever the LORD says I must repeat.
24:14 现在我就要回到我民族那里去;来,让我告诉你这民族日后对你的民族所要做的事。」
"But now that I am about to go to my own people, let me first warn you what this people will do to your people in the days to come."
24:15 于是他吟诗说:「贝敖尔的儿子巴郎的神谕,明眼男子的神谕,
Then Balaam gave voice to his oracle: The utterance of Balaam, son of Beor, the utterance of the man whose eye is true,
24:16 那听到天主的话,深知至高者的思虑,得见全能者的神视,在沉睡中开了神眼的神谕:
The utterance of one who hears what God says, and knows what the Most High knows, Of one who sees what the Almighty sees, enraptured and with eyes unveiled.
24:17 我看见衪,却不是在现在;我望见衪,却不是在近处:由雅各布伯将出现一颗星,由以色列将兴起一权杖,击碎摩阿布的额角,粉碎舍特一切子民的脑盖。
I see him, though not now; I behold him, though not near: A star shall advance from Jacob, and a staff shall rise from Israel, That shall smite the brows of Moab, and the skulls of all the Shuthites,
24:18 厄东将成为他的属地,色依尔将成为他的辖境;以色列必行使威权。
Till Edom is dispossessed, and no fugitive is left in Seir. Israel shall do valiantly,
24:19 由雅各布伯将出生一位统治仇敌者,衪要除灭依尔的遗民。」
and Jacob shall overcome his foes.
24:20 以后他望见阿肋玛克,遂吟诗说:「阿肋玛克原是众民之首,但他的结局是永远的灭亡。」
Upon seeing Amalek, Balaam gave voice to his oracle: First of the peoples was Amalek, but his end is to perish forever.
24:21 后又望见刻尼人,遂吟诗说:「你的居所固然巩固,你的巢穴纵然建在盘石间;
Upon seeing the Kenites, he gave voice to his oracle: Your abode is enduring, O smith, and your nest is set on a cliff;
24:22 但刻尼人仍要被毁灭,到何时亚述才将你掳去﹖」
Yet destined for burning ? even as I watch ?are your inhabitants.
24:23 他又吟诗说:「呜呼!若天主履行此事,谁还能生存!
Upon seeing. . . . he gave voice to his oracle: Alas, who shall survive of Ishmael,
24:24 从基廷有船来,征服亚述,征服厄贝尔;他们也要永远灭亡。」
to deliver his people from the hands of the Kittim? When they have conquered Asshur and conquered Eber, He too shall perish forever.
24:25 然后巴郎起身回了本乡;巴拉克也回去了。
Then Balaam set out on his journey home; and Balak also went his way.
