Resansman 24

Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen

1 Lè sa a, Balaram te fin konprann se yon sèl bagay Seyè a te vle, se beni pou li beni pèp Izrayèl la. Se poutèt sa, li pa fè tankou lòt fwa yo. Li pa al chache konnen sa Seyè a te vle fè l' konnen an. Men, li bay fas li sou dezè a. 2 Li leve je l', epi li wè moun pèp Izrayèl yo ak tant yo byen ranje, chak branch fanmi apa. Lespri Bondye desann sou li. 3 Epi li pran chante chante sa a: -Men sa mwen menm, Balaram, pitit Bèyò, m'ap di: Men pawòl k'ap soti nan bouch moun Bondye te louvri je a, 4 pawòl moun ki te tande sa Bondye ap di a, pawòl moun ki te wè sa Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a fè l' wè a. Lè sa a, li te tonbe fas atè, men Bondye te louvri je l'. 5 Ala bèl tant nou yo bèl, moun Jakòb yo! Ala bèl kote nou rete a bèl, moun Izrayèl yo! 6 Yo laji kò yo tankou dlo larivyè k'ap desann. Yo tankou jaden k'ap pouse sou bò larivyè, tankou yon pye lalwa Bondye li menm ta plante, tankou yon pye sèd k'ap grandi bò kannal dlo. 7 Lame pèp Izrayèl la ap fè nasyon yo tranble. Pèp Izrayèl la ap donminen sou anpil lòt pèp. Wa li yo ap pi fò pase wa Agag, Y'ap gouvènen sou anpil nasyon. 8 Bondye te mennen yo soti kite peyi Lejip. Li te goumen pou yo tankou yon towo mawon. L'ap manje tout nasyon ki pa vle wè yo. L'ap kraze tout zo yo an miyèt moso. L'ap pèse yo pak an pak ak flèch li yo. 9 Pèp Izrayèl la chita atè a, l' ap pran repo, tankou yon lyon, tankou yon fenmèl lyon. Lè l'ap dòmi, ki moun ki ka penmèt yo leve l'? benediksyon pou tout moun ki mande benediksyon pou pèp Izrayèl la! Madichon pou tout moun k'ap mande madichon pou pèp Izrayèl la! 10 Lè sa a, Balak fè yon sèl move sou Balaram, li frape pye l' atè, li di konsa: -Mwen te rele ou isit la pou bay lènmi m' yo madichon pou mwen. Men, gade sa ou fè. Se beni ou beni yo pito. Sa fè twa fwa ou fè sa. 11 Koulye a, pito ou kouri al lakay ou, tande. Mwen te pwomèt pou m' te fè anpil bèl bagay pou ou. Men, gade sa Seyè a fè ou: ou pèdi tout. 12 Balaram reponn, li di l' konsa: -Mwen te tou pale moun ou te voye chache m' yo. Mwen te di yo: 13 Balak te mèt ban mwen kay li plen ajan ak lò, mwen p'ap fè anyen poutèt pa m' ki pou fè m' dezobeyi lòd Seyè a, ni an byen ni an mal. Sa Seyè a di m' di, se sa ase m'ap di. 14 Balaram di Balak ankò: -Wi, koulye a mwen pral lakay mwen. Men, anvan m' ale, vini m' di ou kisa pèp Izrayèl la pral fè pèp ou a nan jou k'ap vini yo. 15 Epi Balaram pran chante chante sa a: -Men sa mwen menm, Balaram, pitit Bèyò, m'ap di. Men pawòl k'ap soti nan bouch moun Bondye te louvri je a, 16 moun ki ka tande sa Bondye ap di a, moun ki gen konesans ki soti nan men Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, moun ki te wè sa Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a fè l' wè a. Li te tonbe fas atè, men Bondye te louvri je l'. 17 Mwen wè sa ki gen pou rive pèp Izrayèl la. M'ap gade sa ki pral rive l' pita. Tankou yon gwo zetwal, mwen wè yon chèf k'ap soti nan fanmi Jakòb la. Yon gwo wa pral leve nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la. L'ap kraze chèf Moab yo, l'ap detwi tout pitit Sèt yo. 18 Y'a deposede moun Edon yo. Y'a pran peyi Seyi a nan men lènmi l' yo. Men, yo menm, moun Izrayèl yo, y'ap fè mèvèy nan lagè. 19 Yon gwo chèf pral soti nan pèp Izrayèl la. L'a gouvènen sou yo tout. L'a touye rès moun ki te rete nan lavil yo apre batay la. 20 Apre sa, Balaam wè moun Amalèk yo nan vizyon l' lan. Li bay mesaj sa a, li di konsa: -Moun Amalèk yo, se yon nasyon ki fò anpil. Men, bout pou bout, yo gen pou yo disparèt nèt. 21 Apre sa, Balaram wè moun Kayen yo nan vizyon l' lan. Li bay mesaj sa a, li di konsa: -Kote ou rete a ou byen pwoteje. Ou ta di yon nich poze sou tèt yon gwo falèz. 22 Men, wè pa wè, moun Kayen yo la pou yo fini mal. Peyi Lasiri va depòte yo. 23 Balaram pran pale ankò. Li bay mesaj sa a, li di ankò: -Kilès ki va la lè Bondye va fè tou sa? 24 Lè sa a, moun ap soti lavil Kitim nan bato vin anvayi peyi a. Yo pral kraze peyi Lasiri ak lavil Babilòn. Men, ata moun Kitim yo gen pou disparèt nèt tou. 25 Apre sa, Balaram leve, li tounen tounen l' lakay li. Epi Balak al fè wout li.

Resansman 24:1

Nu 24:1-25. Balaam Foretells Israel's Happiness.

1. to seek for--that is, to use enchantments. His experience on the two former occasions [Nu 23:3, 15] had taught him that these superstitious accompaniments of his worship were useless, and therefore he now simply looked towards the camp of Israel, either with a secret design to curse them, or to await the divine afflatus.

Resansman 24:2

2. he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes--that is, in the orderly distribution of the camp (Nu 2:1-34).

the spirit of God came upon him--Before the regular ministry of the prophets was instituted, God made use of various persons as the instruments through whom He revealed His will, and Balaam was one of these (De 23:5).

Resansman 24:3

3. the man whose eyes are open--that is, a seer (1Sa 9:9), a prophet, to whom the visioned future was disclosed--sometimes when falling into a sleep (Ge 15:12-15), frequently into "a trance."

Resansman 24:5-7

5-7. How goodly are thy tents, ... O Israel!--a fine burst of admiration, expressed in highly poetical strains. All travellers describe the beauty which the circular area of Bedouin tents impart to the desert. How impressive, then, must have been the view, as seen from the heights of Abarim, of the immense camp of Israel extended over the subjacent plains.

Resansman 24:10-14

10-14. Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together--The "smiting of the hands together" is, among Oriental people, an indication of the most violent rage (see Eze 21:17; 22:13) and ignominious dismissal.

Resansman 24:15

15. he took his parable--or prophecy, uttered in a poetical style.

Resansman 24:17

17. I shall see him--rather, "I do see" or "I have seen him"--a prophetic sight, like that of Abraham (Joh 8:56).

him--that is, Israel.

there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel--This imagery, in the hieroglyphic language of the East, denotes some eminent ruler--primarily David; but secondarily and pre-eminently, the Messiah (see on Ge 49:10).

corners--border, often used for a whole country (Ex 8:2; Psa 74:17).

children of Sheth--some prince of Moab; or, according to some, "the children of the East."

Resansman 24:18

18. Edom shall be a possession--This prophecy was accomplished by David (2Sa 8:14).

Seir--seen in the south, and poetically used for Edom. The double conquest of Moab and Edom is alluded to (Psa 60:8; 108:9).

Resansman 24:19

19. Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion--David, and particularly Christ.

that remaineth of the city--those who flee from the field to fortified places (Psa 60:9).

Resansman 24:20

20. Amalek ... his latter end shall be that he perish for ever--Their territory was seen at the remote extremity of the desert. (See on Ex 17:13; also 1Sa 15:1-35).

Resansman 24:21

21. Kenites ... nest in a rock--Though securely established among the clefts in the high rocks of En-gedi towards the west, they should be gradually reduced by a succession of enemies till the Assyrian invader carried them into captivity (Jud 1:16; 4:11, 16, 17; also 2Ki 15:29; 17:6).

Resansman 24:23

23. who shall live when God doeth this!--Few shall escape the desolation that shall send a Nebuchadnezzar to scourge all those regions.

Resansman 24:24

24. Chittim--the countries lying on the Mediterranean, particularly Greece and Italy (Da 11:29, 30). The Assyrians were themselves to be overthrown--first, by the Greeks under Alexander the Great and his successors; secondly, by the Romans.

Eber--the posterity of the Hebrews (Ge 10:24).

he also shall perish--that is, the conqueror of Asher and Eber, namely, the Greek and Roman empires.

Resansman 24:25

25. Balaam rose up, and went ... to his place--Mesopotamia, to which, however, he did not return. (See on Nu 31:8).
