And they departed thence and encamped on the other side of Arnon in the wilderness, [the country] which extends from the coasts of the Amorites; for Arnon is the borders of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἀπάραντες παρενέβαλον εἰς τὸ πέραν Ἀρνῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, τὸ ἐξέχον ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν Ἀμοῤῥαίων· ἔστι γὰρ Ἀρνῶν ὅρια Μωὰβ, ἀναμέσον Μωὰβ καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ Ἀμοῤῥαίου.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν δεῦρο ἄρασαί μοι τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον, ὅτι ἰσχύει οὗτος ἢ ἡμεῖς, ἐὰν δυνώμεθα πατάξαι ἐξ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκβαλῶ αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς γῆς· ὅτι οἶδα οὓς ἐὰν εὐλογήσῃς σὺ, εὐλόγηνται, καὶ οὓς ἂν καταράσῃ σὺ, κεκατήρανται.

And God opened the eyes of Balaam, and he sees the angel of the Lord withstanding [him] in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, and he stooped down and worshipped on his face.
Greek · SeptuagintἈπεκάλυψε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς Βαλαὰμ, καὶ ὁρᾷ τὸν ἄγγελον Κυρίου ἀνθεστηκότα ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ τὴν μάχαιραν ἐσπασμένην ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κύψας προσεκύνησε τῷ προσώπῳ αὐτοῦ.
And the angel of God said to him, Why hast thou smitten thine ass this third time? and, behold, I came out to withstand thee, for thy way was not seemly before me; and when the ass saw me, she turned away from me this third time.

And if she had not turned out of the way, surely now, I should have slain thee, and should have saved her alive.

And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have sinned, for I did not know that thou wert standing opposite in the way to meet [me]; and now if it shall not be pleasing to thee [for me to go on], I will return.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Βαλαὰμ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ Κυρίου, ἡμάρτηκα, οὐ γὰρ ἠπιστάμην ὅτι σύ μοι ἀνθέστηκας ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ εἰς συνάντησιν· καὶ νῦν εἰ μή σοι ἀρκέσει, ἀποστραφήσομαι.
And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men: nevertheless the word which I shall speak to thee, that thou shalt take heed to speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balac.

And Balac said to Balaam, Did I not send to thee to call thee? why hast thou not come to me? shall I not indeed be able to honour thee?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαὰμ, οὐχὶ ἀπέστειλα πρὸς σὲ καλέσαι σε; διατί οὐκ ἤρχου πρὸς μέ; ὄντως οὐ δυνήσομαι τιμῆσαί σε;
And Balaam said to Balac, Behold, I am now come to thee: shall I be able to say anything? the word which God shall put into my mouth, that I shall speak.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Βαλαὰμ πρὸς Βαλὰκ, ἰδοὺ ἥκω πρὸς σὲ νῦν· δυνατὸς ἔσομαι λαλῆσαί τι; τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐὰν ἐμβάλῃ ὁ Θεὸς εἰς τὸ στόμα μου, τοῦτο λαλήσω.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπεστράφη πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ ὁ δὲ ἐφιστήκει ἐπὶ τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες Μωὰβ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγενήθη πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ.
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.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ, εἶπεν ἐκ Μεσοποταμίας μετεπέμψατό με Βαλὰκ βασιλεὺς Μωὰβ ἐξ ὀρέων ἀπʼ ἀνατολῶν, λέγων, δεῦρο ἄρασαί μοι τὸν Ἰακώβ, καὶ δεῦρο ἐπικατάρασαί μοι τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
How can I curse whom the Lord curses not? or how can I devote whom God devotes not?
Greek · SeptuagintΤί ἀράσωμαι ὃν μὴ ἀρᾶται Κύριος; ἢ τί καταράσωμαι ὃν μὴ καταρᾶται ὁ Θεός;
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.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἀπὸ κορυφῆς ὀρέων ὄψομαι αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀπὸ βουνῶν προσνοήσω αὐτόν· ἰδοὺ λαὸς μόνος κατοικήσει, καὶ ἐν ἔθνεσιν οὐ συλλογισθήσεται.
Who has exactly calculated the seed of Jacob, and who shall number the families of Israel? let my soul die with the souls of the righteous, and let my seed be as their seed.
Greek · SeptuagintΤίς ἐξηκριβάσατο τὸ σπέρμα Ἰακὼβ, καὶ τίς ἐξαριθμήσεται δήμους Ἰσραήλ; ἀποθάνοι ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν ψυχαῖς δικαίων, καὶ γένοιτο τὸ σπέρμα μου ὡς τὸ σπέρμα τούτων.
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].
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαὰμ, τί πεποίηκάς μοι; εἰς κατάρασιν ἐχθρῶν μου κέκληκά σε, καὶ ἰδοὺ εὐλόγηκας εὐλογίαν.
And Balaam said to Balac, Whatsoever the Lord shall put into my mouth, shall I not take heed to speak this?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Βαλαὰμ πρὸς Βαλὰκ, οὐχὶ ὅσα ἂν ἐμβάλῃ ὁ Θεὸς εἰς τὸ στόμα μου, τοῦτο φυλάξω λαλῆσαι;
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.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Βαλὰκ, δεῦρο ἔτι μετʼ ἐμοῦ εἰς τόπον ἄλλον ἐξ οὗ οὐκ ὄψει αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν, ἀλλʼ ἢ μέρος τι αὐτοῦ ὄψει, πάντας δὲ οὐ μὴ ἴδῃς, καὶ κατάρασαί μοι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν.
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.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ παρέλαβεν αὐτὸν εἰς ἀγροῦ σκοπιὰν ἐπὶ κορυφὴν λελαξευμένου· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ ἑπτὰ βωμοὺς, καὶ ἀνεβίβασε μόσχον καὶ κριὸν ἐπὶ τὸν βωμόν.
And Balaam said to Balac, Stand by thy sacrifice, and I will go to enquire of God.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Βαλαὰμ πρὸς Βαλὰκ, παράστηθι ἐπὶ τῆς θυσίας σου, ἐγὼ δὲ πορεύσομαι ἐπερωτῆσαι τὸν Θεόν.
And God met Balaam, and put a word into his mouth, and said, Return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ συνήντησεν ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Βαλαὰμ, καὶ ἐνέβαλε ῥῆμα εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἀποστράφηθι πρὸς Βαλὰκ, καὶ τάδε λαλήσεις.
And he returned to him: and he also was standing by his whole-burnt-sacrifice, and all the princes of Moab with him; and Balac said to him, What has the Lord spoken?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπεστράφη πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ ὁ δὲ ἐφειστήκει ἐπὶ τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες Μωὰβ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Βαλὰκ, τί ἐλάλησε Κύριος;
And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balac, and hear; hearken as a witness, thou son of Sepphor.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ, εἶπεν, ἀνάστηθι Βαλὰκ, καὶ ἄκουε, ἐνώτισαι μάρτυς υἱὸς Σεπφώρ.
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]?
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐχ ὡς ἄνθρωπος ὁ Θεὸς διαρτηθῆναι, οὐδʼ ὡς υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ἀπειληθῆναι, αὐτὸς εἴπας, οὐχὶ ποιήσει; λαλήσει, καὶ οὐχὶ ἐμμενεῖ;
Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: I will bless, and not turn back.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ εὐλογεῖν παρείλημμαι· εὐλογήσω, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστρέψω.
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.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐκ ἔσται μόχθος ἐν Ἰακὼβ, οὐδὲ ὀφθήσεται πόνος ἐν Ἰσραήλ· Κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, τὰ ἔνδοξα ἀρχόντων ἐν αὐτῷ.
It was God who brought him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn.
Greek · SeptuagintΘεὸς ὁ ἐξαγαγὼν αὐτὸν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, ὡς δόξα μονοκέρωτος αὐτῷ.
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.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐ γάρ ἐστιν οἰωνισμὸς ἐν Ἰακὼβ, οὐδὲ μαντεία ἐν Ἰσραήλ· κατὰ καιρὸν ῥηθήσεται Ἰακὼβ, καὶ τῷ Ἰσραὴλ, τί ἐπιτελέσει ὁ Θεός;
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.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ λαὸς ὡς σκύμνος ἀναστήσεται, καὶ ὡς λέων γαυρωθήσεται· οὐ κοιμηθήσεται ἕως φάγῃ θήραν, καὶ αἷμα τραυματιῶν πίεται.
And Balac said to Balaam, Neither curse the people at all for me, nor bless them at all.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαὰμ, οὔτε κατάραις καταράσῃ μοι αὐτὸν, οὔτε εὐλογῶν μὴ εὐλογήσῃς αὐτόν.
And Balaam answered and said to Balac, Spoke I not to thee, saying, Whatsoever thing God shall speak to me, that will I do?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀποκριθεὶς Βαλαὰμ, εἶπε τῷ Βαλὰκ, οὐκ ἐλάλησά σοι, λέγων, τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐὰν λαλήσῃ ὁ Θεὸς, τοῦτο ποιήσω;
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.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαὰμ, δεῦρο παραλάβω σε εἰς τόπον ἄλλον, εἰ ἀρέσει τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ κατάρασαί μοι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν.
And Balac took Balaam to the top of Phogor, which extends to the wilderness.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ παρέλαβε Βαλὰκ τὸν Βαλαὰμ ἐπὶ κορυφὴν τοῦ Φογὼρ, τὸ παρατεῖνον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον.
And Balaam said to Balac, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven calves, and seven rams.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Βαλαὰμ πρὸς Βαλὰκ, οἰκοδόμησόν μοι ὧδε ἑπτὰ βωμοὺς, καὶ ἑτοίμασόν μοι ὧδε ἑπτὰ μόσχους, καὶ ἑπτὰ κριούς.
And Balac did as Balaam told him, and offered a calf and a ram on [every] altar.

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.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἰδὼν Βαλαὰμ ὅτι καλόν ἐστιν ἐναντίον Κυρίου εὐλογεῖν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, οὐκ ἐπορεύθη κατὰ τὸ εἰωθὸς αὐτῷ εἰς συνάντησιν τοῖς οἰωνοῖς, καὶ ἀπέστρεψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον.
And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and sees Israel encamped by their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐξάρας Βαλαὰμ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καθορᾷ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐστρατοπεδευκότα κατὰ φυλάς· καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπʼ αὐτῷ πνεῦμα Θεου.
And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, the man who sees truly says,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ, εἶπε, φησὶ Βαλαὰμ υἱοῖς Βεὼρ, φησὶν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἀληθινῶς ὁρῶν,
he says who hears the oracle of the Mighty One, who saw a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened:
Greek · Septuagintφησὶν ἀκούων λόγια ἰσχυροῦ, ὅστις ὅρασιν Θεοῦ εἶδεν ἐν ὕπνῳ· ἀποκεκαλυμμένοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ.
How goodly [are] thy habitations, Jacob, and thy tents, Israel!
Greek · SeptuagintὩς καλοὶ οἱ οἶκοί σου Ἰακὼβ, αἱ σκηναί σου Ἰσραήλ·
