절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Balaam was sure that the Lord would tell him to bless Israel again. So he did not use any magic to find out what the Lord wanted him to do, as he had the first two times. Instead, he looked out toward the desert	And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2	and saw the tribes of Israel camped below. Just then, God's Spirit took control of him,	And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
3	and Balaam said: “I am the son of Beor, and my words are true, so listen to my message!	And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
4	It comes from the Lord, the God All-Powerful. I bowed down to him and saw a vision of Israel.	He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
5	“People of Israel, your camp is lovely.	How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
6	It's like a grove of palm trees or a garden beside a river. You are like tall aloe trees that the Lord has planted, or like cedars growing near water.	As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
7	You and your descendants will prosper like an orchard beside a stream. Your king will rule with power and be a greater king than Agag the Amalekite.	He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8	With the strength of a wild ox, God led you out of Egypt. You will defeat your enemies, shooting them with arrows and crushing their bones.	God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
9	Like a lion you lie down, resting after an attack. Who would dare disturb you? “Anyone who blesses you will be blessed; anyone who curses you will be cursed.”	He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
10	When Balak heard this, he was so furious that he pounded his fist against his hand and said, “I called you here to place a curse on my enemies, and you've blessed them three times.	And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
11	Leave now and go home! I told you I would pay you well, but since the Lord didn't let you do what I asked, you won't be paid.”	Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the Lord hath kept thee back from honour.
12	Balaam answered, “I told your messengers	And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
13	that even if you offered me a palace full of silver or gold, I would still obey the Lord. And I explained that I would say only what he told me.	If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the Lord, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the Lord saith, that will I speak?
14	So I'm going back home, but I'm leaving you with a warning about what the Israelites will someday do to your nation.”	And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15	Balaam's Fourth Message Balaam said: “I am the son of Beor, and my words are true, so listen to my message!	And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
16	My knowledge comes from God Most High, the Lord All-Powerful. I bowed down to him and saw a vision of Israel.	He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
17	“What I saw in my vision hasn't happened yet. But someday, a king of Israel will appear like a star. He will wipe out you Moabites and destroy those tribes who live in the desert.	I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
18	Israel will conquer Edom and capture the land of that enemy nation.	And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19	The king of Israel will rule and destroy the survivors of every town there.	Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
20	“And I saw this vision about the Amalekites: Their nation is now great, but it will someday disappear forever.	And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
21	“And this is what I saw about the Kenites: They think they're safe, living among the rocks,	And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
22	but they will be wiped out when Assyria conquers them.	Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
23	“No one can survive if God plans destruction.	And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
24	Ships will come from Cyprus, bringing people who will invade the lands of Assyria and Eber. But finally, Cyprus itself will be ruined.”	And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
25	After Balaam finished, he started home, and Balak also left.	And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
