1 Hichun Israel mite Moab phaicham langa akitol un Jordan sahlam Jericho mun’a chun akichol dotauvin ahi.
The children of Israel traveled, and camped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.
2 Zippor chapa Moab mite lengpa Balak in Isreal miten Amor mite chunga anatoh jouse’u kidang asah behseh tan ahi.
Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
3 Moab miten Isreal mite ahung kitol taove veuvin amaho chu tijatnan adimset un ahi.
Moab was very afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.

Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now this multitude will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field." Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.
5 Thu athot tan Balaam pa chapa heng nga hiche Balak kitipa khu amaho gam Pithor leh Euphrates vadung kom a pansah cheng chu Balak thucheng hiche hohi athot in, veuvin hiche mipi ho hi Eygpt apat na hung kipat doh ahiuvin, amaho hin leiset pumpi alo dim tauvin chule amaho leiset mite kinai tah in aum mun ahi.
He sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor on the river, to the land of the people of Ammon, to call him, saying, "Look, there is a people who came out from Egypt. Look, they cover the surface of the earth, and they are staying opposite me.
6 Lungset tah in hung phei in Isreal mite hi gaosap in ajeh chu keima toh kito din ahat val un ahi.

And now please come, curse this people for me, for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed."
7 Balak’s ding a thutan seiphong nga nang ho chu Midian le Moab mite aki go doh tauvin, Sumle pai toh Balaam chu Isreal mite chung nga agao sap na ding in, amaho chu ache tauvin Balak lam ah thuthot ding in akalsong tauve.
The elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the fees for divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.
8 Balaam in adonbut in tujan hikom ah geh den tan ati, keiman jingkah tengleh kasei peh ding nahi tai Pathen in itobang a ei houlim pi ding ham? Hiti ahi jeh chun Moab a konna migun hochu Balaam toh ageh khom tauvin ahi.
And he said to them, "Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me." The princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
9 Hiche nijan chun Pathen Vantil in Balaam heng ngah koiba hitam nangma toh kimuto a hung jihohi tin aseiye.
And God came to Balaam, and said, "Who are these men with you?"
10 Balaam in Pathen Vantil hengah asei tan Zippor kiti pa chapa Balak Moab lengpan hiche thu hohi eihin thot e, ati.
And Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying,
11 Vetan Eygpt a patna hung kipat doh mi hon hijat aum uvin chuleh Amahon vannoi pumpi alo dim tauve. Hiche mipi hohi hung gaosap in, hung tem in chuti leh keiman amaho chu ka nodoh jou thei khat leh tia eihung tem ahiuve.
'Look, this people has come out of Egypt and they cover the surface of the earth. Come now, curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.'"
12 Ahinlah Pathen Vantil in Balaam chu ahin houlimpi tan, hiche mite hi Pathen phatthei chang ahi tauvin amaho na gaosap lou ding chuleh amaho lam nache loubeh ding ahi, ati.
And God said to Balaam, "You are not to go with them, and you are not to curse the people, for they are blessed."
13 Balaam aki thoudoh in hiche nikho a jing chun Balak mi hung lamkai ho komma hitin asei tan, nangho in lam a che tauvin Pathen Vantil in nangma hotoh chekhom din ei phal poi ati tai.
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, "Go to your lord; for God refuses to permit me to go with you."
14 Hichun Moab lamkai milun ho chu Balak lengpa komma din aki nung le tauvin chule amahon Balaam thuthot ho chu ahung thadiu thaset naho chu asei peh taovin ahi.
The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, "Balaam refuses to come with us."
15 Balak in khatvei apatep kit in hiche phat na hi Balak in migun tamtah asol lin amijat jong tamjo chule aphat masah peh sang a thupijo ahi.
Then Balak again sent princes, more in number and more honorable than these.
16 Amaho chu Balaam heng lamah acheuvin hiche thu hohi aga lhut tauve, hiche thucheng hohi Balak kiti Zippor chapan asei tan, lungset tah in emacha kisuh boisah hih beh in keima komma nahunga neikithopi nadin, ati.
They came to Balaam, and said to him, "Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, 'Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me:
17 Keiman nangma hoitah a tohman ka bol peh ding nahi chule ipi hita jongle nangmain bol lin nati chu ka bol peh ding hiche mite hohi a gaosap din ki gong in hung jeng in ati.
for I will greatly honor you, and whatever you say to me I will do for you. Please come therefore, and curse this people for me.'"
18 Ahinlah Balaam in Balak chu hitin a donbut in Balaam in alenggam toh ei peh tha henlang sana dangka toh kikoi dimset hita jongle ka Pathen lungdei lou ahikhah le keiman imacha ka bol theina ding’a, thilbol theina neilou ka hi ding ahiye, ati.
Balaam answered the servants of Balak, "If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the command of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
19 Ahinlah jan khat tabang umbe un, keiman jong Pakai, Pathen in kahenga epi aseibe ding ham kahetdoh thei nadin.
Now therefore, you also stay here tonight, that I may know what else the LORD will say to me."
20 Hiche ni jan chun Pathen Vantil chu Balaam heng a ahung kilah tan hiche miluntah hohi na heng’a ding a hung kholjin ahi tah jeh un, nangma kipatdoh inlang amaho toh chekhom un, ahinlah nangman keima thupeh na jui ding ahi.
God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, "If the men have come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that you shall do."
21 Hichun ajing in Balaam aki thoudoh in asangan a atoudoh in Moab mite lamkai hochu toh akipat doh tauvin ahi.
Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
22 Hitia Balaam ache jeh chun, Pathen chu alunghang tan hijeh chun Pakai Vantil asol in lamlen laitah a Balaam tingtan ding chun ana pang tai. Balaam chu asoh mini toh kilhon ahi.
God's anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of the LORD placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
23 Balaam sangan chun Pakai Vantil lamlen na aum a, achemjam akhut a achoi chu a mudoh tan sangan chu lamlen a kon in phailei lam a lhai lha tan amavang Balaam in sangan chu ajep in lamlen ah ahin puilut kit tan ahi.
The donkey saw the angel of God standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the donkey turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her into the way.
24 Hichun Pakai vantil chu lam ajum lang aneo lang lengpi thei lei teni kikah ah ana ding tan ahi.
Then the angel of God stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
25 Sangan chun Pathen Vantil chu amu phat in aki tol doh kigo in Balaam keng toh bang chu anom beh khatai. Hichun Balaam in sangan chu ajep kit tan ahi.
The donkey saw the angel of God, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he struck her again.
26 Pakai Vantil chu aki phei khin doh kit in akeng jep ah chun, ajet le avei ja sangan lhaidoh na ding umlou na ahchun ana ting kit’e.
The angel of God went further, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27 Hi chun sakol chun Pakai Vantil chu amu phat in, Balaam anoija abohkhup tan ahileh, Balaam chu alung hang lheh in sangan chu ajep tai.
The donkey saw the angel of God, and she lay down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
28 Hichun Pakaiyin sangan chu thusei theina apen; Balaam chu ahin donbut in, “Ipi kabol khel’a thumveijen nei jep hitam?” tin adong tai.
And God opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"
29 Nang in kei mingol tah neiso tah hila” tin Balaam akisen in, “Ka khut na hin chemjam um choi hileng ka dot lih ding na hitai”, ati.
Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you."
30 Na damsung’a na tou jingna na sangan chu kahi hilou ham? tin Sangan chun ahin donbut in, Keima nidang a chu hitabang a hi ka um khah em? ati. Balaam in adonbut in “Ahi nai! Na um khapoi” ati.
The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long to this day? Was I ever in the habit of doing so to you?" He said, "No."
31 Hichun Pakai-Pathen in Balaam mitchu ahin hadoh sah tan hichun Balaam in Pakai Vantil lamka laiya adin’a chemjam akhutna aki choi chu amu phat in, amai ja akun suh in Pakai Pathen abohkhup tai.
Then God opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of God standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.
32 Pakai Vantil chun thudoh anei jin, ipi bolla na sangan chu navoh hitam ati Ven- keima nalampi su bing nga hung nga kahi ijeh inam itileh nangma hi mi louchal tah nahi, ati.
The angel of God said to him, "Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Look, I have come forth as an adversary, because your way is perverse before me:
33 Sangan chun thumveijen ei mu ahin ei otdoh ji, tun keima in Sangan hi ka hoidoh sah a nangma hi katha doh ding nahi tai.
and the donkey saw me, and turned aside before me these three times. Unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I would have killed you, and saved her alive."
34 Hichun Balaam min Pakai vantil komma chun ngaidam athum tan, keima kachon kheltan keiman ka lampia neina tin chu ka geldoh lou ahi. Ka in lam ah kinungle kit tang kate, Pakai jin neiphal peh lou leh tin aseiye.
Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned; for I did not know that you stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases you, I will go back again."
35 Ahilah, Pakai- Pathen chun Balaam chu a donbut in hiche miho toh hin kilhon in chen, Ahinlah kei seiho bou na bol ding ahi. Hichun Balaam chu Balak milun ho chu toh achekhom tauvin ahi.
The angel of God said to Balaam, "Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak." So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
36 Balak Lengpa in Balaam chu ahung ahet phat in lamlen’a kimu pi din ache tai, Balak chu Moab mite gam ning gei Arnon vadung gei aga lam ton ahi.
When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border.
37 Balak in Balaam thudoh aneitan keima heng nga gang tah a nahung na ding a thu ka hin nei hilou ham Ibol’a na hung louham ati. Keiman kipa man ka peh dia ka thutep hohi na tahsan louham tin asei in ahi.
Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not earnestly send to you to call you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?"
38 Balaam min a donbut in ven, keima vang ka hung tai ahinlah keiman bolthei imacha ka nei poi, keiman ka dei dei a jong ka seithei ahi poi, Pakai, Pathen in ka kam a eipeh bou ka kasei doh ding ahi bouve, ati.
Balaam said to Balak, "Look, I have come to you: have I now any power at all to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak."
39 Hichun Balaam min Balak chu Kiriath Huzoth tigei aki lhon pin ahi.
Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth.
40 Hilai mun achun Balak lengpan abolngai jing bang in, kengoi le Bongchal ah pumgo thilto maicham aneijin ahi. Balak in hiche Saphe tham khat chu Balaam toh alhonpi ho chu apen ahi.
Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes who were with him.
41 A jing jingkah chun Balak in Balaam chu Bamoth Baal molsang chung a apuidoh in, ahi, ajeh chu hilai mun apat na hi Israel mite vahle ho chu a umna apat kimu ahi.
It happened in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from there the utmost part of the people.
