8 How shall I curse, whom El hasn’t cursed? Or how shall I defy, whom Yahweh hasn’t defied?

8 τί ἀράσωμαι ὃν μὴ καταρᾶται κύριος, ἢ τί καταράσωμαι ὃν μὴ καταρᾶται ὁ θεός;	8 τί ἀράσωμαι ὃν μὴ ἀρᾶται Κύριος, ἢ τί καταράσωμαι ὃν μὴ καταρᾶται ὁ Θεός;

9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I look at him. Look, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

9 ὅτι ἀπὸ κορυφῆς ὀρέων ὄψομαι αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπὸ βουνῶν προσνοήσω αὐτόν. ἰδοὺ λαὸς μόνος κατοικήσει καὶ ἐν ἔθνεσιν οὐ συλλογισθήσεται.	9 ὅτι ἀπὸ κορυφῆς ὀρέων ὄψομαι αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπὸ βουνῶν προσνοήσω αὐτόν. ἰδοὺ λαὸς μόνος κατοικήσει καὶ ἐν ἔθνεσιν οὐ συλλογισθήσεται.

10 Who can count the dust of Jacōb, and the number of the fourth part of Israēl? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!”

10 τίς ἐξηκριβάσατο τὸ σπέρμα Ἰακώβ, καὶ τίς ἐξαριθμήσεται δήμους Ἰσραήλ; ἀποθάνοι ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν ψυχαῖς δικαίων, καὶ γένοιτο τὸ σπέρμα μου ὡς τὸ σπέρμα τούτων.	10 τίς ἐξηκριβάσατο τὸ σπέρμα Ἰακώβ, καὶ τίς ἐξαριθμήσεται δήμους Ἰσραήλ; ἀποθάνοι ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν ψυχαῖς δικαίων, καὶ γένοιτο τὸ σπέρμα μου ὡς τὸ σπέρμα τούτων.

11 And Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and, look, you have blessed them altogether.”

11 Καὶ εἶπεν Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαὰμ Τί πεποίηκάς μοι; εἰς κατάρασιν ἐχθρῶν μου κέκληκά σε, καὶ ἰδοὺ εὐλόγηκας εὐλογίαν.	11 καὶ εἶπε Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαάμ· τί πεποίηκάς μοι; εἰς κατάρασιν ἐχθρῶν μου κέκληκά σε, καὶ ἰδοὺ εὐλόγηκας εὐλογίαν.

12 And he answered and said, “Must I not take heed to speak what Yahweh has put in my mouth?”

12 καὶ εἶπεν Βαλαὰμ πρὸς Βαλὰκ Οὐχὶ ὅσα ἐὰν ἐμβάλῃ ὁ θεὸς εἰς τὸ στόμα μου, τοῦτο φυλάξω λαλῆσαι;	12 καὶ εἶπε Βαλαὰμ πρὸς Βαλάκ· οὐχὶ ὅσα ἄν ἐμβάλῃ ὁ Θεὸς εἰς τὸ στόμα μου, τοῦτο φυλάξω λαλῆσαι;
12 And Balaam said to Balak, “No, as much as God puts into my mouth, will I be careful to speak this?”	12 And Balaam said to Balak, “No, as much as God puts into my mouth, will I be careful to speak this?”

13 And Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, from which you may see them; you shall see just the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all; and curse them for me from there.”

13 Καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Βαλὰκ Δεῦρο ἔτι μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς τόπον ἄλλον, ἐξ ὧν οὐκ ὄψῃ αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν, ἀλλ’ ἢ μέρος τι αὐτοῦ ὄψῃ, πάντας δὲ οὐ μὴ ἴδῃς, καὶ κατάρασαί μοι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν.	13 Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Βαλάκ· δεῦρο ἔτι μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς τόπον ἄλλον, ἐξ οὗ οὐκ ὄψει αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν, ἀλλ’ ἢ μέρος τι αὐτοῦ ὄψει, πάντας δὲ οὐ μὴ ἴδῃς, καὶ κατάρασαί μοι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν.
13 And Balak said to him, “Come yet with me to another place from where you shall not see it. However, you shall see a part of them, but shall not see all. And curse it from there for me.”	13 And Balak said to him, “Come yet with me to another place from where you shall not see it. However, you shall see a part of them, but shall not see all.

14 And 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 each altar.

14 Καὶ παρέλαβεν αὐτὸν εἰς ἀγροῦ σκοπιὰν ἐπὶ κορυφὴν λελαξευμένου καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ ἑπτὰ βωμοὺς καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν μόσχον καὶ κριὸν ἐπὶ τὸν βωμόν.	14 καὶ παρέλαβεν αὐτὸν εἰς ἀγροῦ σκοπιὰν ἐπὶ κορυφὴν λελαξευμένου καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ ἑπτὰ βωμοὺς καὶ ἀνεβίβασε μόσχον καὶ κριὸν ἐπὶ τὸν βωμόν.

17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Mōab with him. And Balak said to him, “What has Yahweh spoken?”

17 καὶ ἀπεστράφη πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ὅδε ἐφειστήκει ἐπὶ τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες Μωὰβ μετ’ αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Βαλὰκ Τί ἐλάλησεν κύριος;	17 καὶ ἀπεστράφη πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ὅδε ἐφειστήκει ἐπὶ τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες Μωὰβ μετ’ αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπε αὐτῷ Βαλάκ· τί ἐλάλησε Κύριος;

18 And he took up his parable, and said, “Rise up, Balak, and hear; listen to me, you son of Zippor.

18 καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν Ἀνάστηθι, Βαλάκ, καὶ ἄκουε· ἐνώτισαι μάρτυς, υἱὸς Σεπφώρ.	18 καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπε· ἀνάστηθι Βαλάκ, καὶ ἄκουε· ἐνώτισαι μάρτυς, υἱὸς Σεπφώρ.

19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and shall he not do it? Or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

19 οὐχ ὡς ἄνθρωπος ὁ θεὸς διαρτηθῆναι οὐδὲ ὡς υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ἀπειληθῆναι· αὐτὸς εἴπας οὐχὶ ποιήσει; λαλήσει, καὶ οὐχὶ ἐμμενεῖ;	19 οὐχ ὡς ἄνθρωπος ὁ Θεὸς διαρτηθῆναι, οὐδ’ ὡς υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ἀπειληθῆναι· αὐτὸς εἴπας, οὐχὶ ποιήσει; λαλήσει, καὶ οὐχὶ ἐμμενεῖ;

20 Behold, I have received the command to bless; and he has blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

20 ἰδοὺ εὐλογεῖν παρείλημμαι· εὐλογήσω καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστρέψω.	20 ἰδοὺ εὐλογεῖν παρείλημμαι· εὐλογήσω καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστρέψω.

21 He hasn’t seen iniquity in Jacōb, neither has he seen perverseness in Israēl; Yahweh his Elohim is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.

21 οὐκ ἔσται μόχθος ἐν Ἰακώβ, οὐδὲ ὀφθήσεται πόνος ἐν Ἰσραήλ· κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔνδοξα ἀρχόντων ἐν αὐτῷ.	21 οὐκ ἔσται μόχθος ἐν Ἰακώβ, οὐδὲ ὀφθήσεται πόνον ἐν Ἰσραήλ· Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ, τὰ ἔνδοξα ἀρχόντων ἐν αὐτῷ·

23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacōb, neither is there any divination against Israēl; according to this time it shall be said of Jacōb and of Israēl, What El has done!

23 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν οἰωνισμὸς ἐν Ἰακὼβ οὐδὲ μαντεία ἐν Ἰσραήλ· κατὰ καιρὸν ῥηθήσεται Ἰακὼβ καὶ τῷ Ἰσραήλ, τί ἐπιτελέσει ὁ θεός.	23 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν οἰωνισμὸς ἐν Ἰακώβ, οὐδὲ μαντεία ἐν Ἰσραήλ· κατὰ καιρὸν ῥηθήσεται Ἰακὼβ καὶ τῷ Ἰσραήλ, τί ἐπιτελέσει ὁ Θεός.

24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift himself up as a young lion; he shall not lie down until he eats some of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.”

24 ἰδοὺ λαὸς ὡς σκύμνος ἀναστήσεται καὶ ὡς λέων γαυριωθήσεται· οὐ κοιμηθήσεται, ἕως φάγῃ θήραν, καὶ αἷμα τραυματιῶν πίεται.	24 ἰδοὺ λαὸς ὡς σκύμνος ἀναστήσεται καὶ ὡς λέων γαυρωθήσεται· οὐ κοιμηθήσεται, ἕως φάγῃ θήραν, καὶ αἷμα τραυματιῶν πίεται.

25 And Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”

25 Καὶ εἶπεν Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαὰμ Οὔτε κατάραις καταράσῃ μοι αὐτὸν οὔτε εὐλογῶν μὴ εὐλογήσῃς αὐτόν.	25 καὶ εἶπε Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαάμ· οὔτε κατάραις καταράσῃ μοι αὐτὸν οὔτε εὐλογῶν μὴ εὐλογήσῃς αὐτόν.

27 And Balak said to Balaam, “Please come; I will bring you to another place; perhaps it will please Elohim that you may curse me them from there.”

27 Καὶ εἶπεν Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαὰμ Δεῦρο παραλάβω σὲ εἰς τόπον ἄλλον, εἰ ἀρέσει τῷ θεῷ καὶ καταρᾶσαί μοι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν.	27 Καὶ εἶπε Βαλὰκ πρὸς Βαλαάμ· δεῦρο παραλάβω σε εἰς τόπον ἄλλον, εἰ ἀρέσει τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ κατάρασαί μοι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν.
