1 Og Israels Børn rejste derfra; og de lejrede sig paa Moabiternes slette Marker, paa hin Side Jordanen mod Jeriko.
And they set out [the] people of Israel and they encamped in [the] plains of Moab from [the] other side of [the] Jordan of Jericho.
2 Og Balak, Zippors Søn, saa alt det, som Israel havde gjort Amoriterne.
And he saw Balak [the] son of Zippor all that it had done Israel to the Amorite[s].
3 Og Moabiterne frygtede saare for Folket, fordi det var talrigt; og Moabiterne gruede for Israels Børn.
And it was afraid Moab because of the people exceedingly for [was] numerous it and it felt dread Moab because of [the] people of Israel.
4 Da sagde Moab til Midianiternes Ældste: Nu skal denne Flok opslikke alt rundt omkring os, ligesom Oksen opslikker grønne Urter paa Marken; men Balak, Zippors Søn, var Moabiternes Konge paa den Tid.
And it said Moab to [the] elders of Midian now they will lick up the company all around us as licks up the ox [the] greenery of the field and Balak [the] son of Zippor [was] king of Moab at the time that.
5 Og han sendte Bud til Bileam, Beors Søn, til Pethor, som er ved Floden, til hans Folks Børns Land, for at kalde ham, sigende: Se, et Folk er udgaaet af Ægypten, se, det skjuler Jordens Kreds, og det ligger tværs over for mig.
And he sent messengers to Balaam [the] son of Beor Pethor towards which [was] at the river [the] land of [the] sons of people his to summon him saying here! a people it has come out from Egypt here! it has covered [the] eye of the land and it [is] dwelling from in front of me.
6 Og nu, kære, gak hid, forband mig dette Folk, thi det er mig for mægtigt, maaske jeg kunde slaa det og uddrive det af Landet; thi jeg ved, at hvem du velsigner, er velsignet, og hvem du forbander, skal være forbandet.
And therefore come! please curse! for me the people this for [is too] mighty it for me perhaps I will be able to strike it and I will drive out it from the land for I know [the one] whom you bless [is] blessed and [the one] whom you curse he is cursed.
7 Og de Ældste af Moabiterne gik hen med de Ældste af Midianiterne, og Spaamandsløn var i deres Haand, og de kom til Bileam, og de talede Balaks Ord til ham.
And they went [the] elders of Moab and [the] elders of Midian and divinations [were] in hand their and they came to Balaam and they spoke to him [the] words of Balak.
8 Og han sagde til dem: Bliver her i denne Nat, saa vil jeg give eder Svar, ligesom Herren vil tale til mig; saa bleve Moabiternes Fyrster hos Bileam.
And he said to them lodge here this night and I will bring back you word just as he will speak Yahweh to me and they remained [the] leaders of Moab with Balaam.
9 Og Gud kom til Bileam og sagde: Hvo ere de Mænd, som ere hos dig?
And he came God to Balaam and he said who? [are] the men these with you.
10 Og Bileam sagde til Gud: Balak, Zippors Søn, Moabiternes Konge, har sendt til mig, sigende:
And he said Balaam to God Balak [the] son of Zippor [the] king of Moab he sent to me.
11 Se her det Folk, som er udgaaet af Ægypten og skjuler Jordens Kreds! gak nu hid, forband mig det, maaske jeg kunde stride imod det og uddrive det.
Here! the people which has come out from Egypt and it has covered [the] eye of the land now come! curse! for me it perhaps I will be able to engage in battle against it and I will drive out it.
12 Og Gud sagde til Bileam: Du skal ikke gaa med dem, du skal ikke forbande Folket; thi det er velsignet.
And he said God to Balaam not you will go with them not you will curse the people for [is] blessed it.
13 Da stod Bileam op om Morgenen og sagde til Balaks Fyrster: Gaar til eders Land; thi Herren vægrer sig ved at tillade mig at gaa med eder.
And he arose Balaam in the morning and he said to [the] leaders of Balak go to land your for he has refused Yahweh to permit me to go with you.
14 Saa gjorde Moabiternes Fyrster sig rede og kom til Balak, og de sagde: Bileam vægrede sig ved at gaa med os.
And they arose [the] leaders of Moab and they went to Balak and they said he has refused Balaam to come with us.
15 Da blev Balak endnu ved at sende flere og herligere Fyrster end disse.
And he repeated again Balak to send leaders many and honored more than these.
16 Og de kom til Bileam, og de sagde til ham: Saa siger Balak, Zippors Søn: Kære, lad dig ikke forhindre fra at gaa til mig.
And they came to Balaam and they said to him thus he says Balak [the] son of Zippor do not please let yourself be restrained from coming to me.
17 Thi jeg vil ære dig saare, og alt det, du siger til mig, vil jeg gøre; men gak hid, kære, forband mig dette Folk!
For surely I will honor you exceedingly and all that you will say to me I will do and come! please curse! for me the people this.
18 Og Bileam svarede og sagde til Balaks Tjenere: Dersom Balak vilde give mig sit Hus, fuldt af Sølv og Guld, kunde jeg dog ikke overtræde Herren min Guds Ord ved at gøre lidet eller stort.
And he answered Balaam and he said to [the] servants of Balak if he will give to me Balak [the] fullness of house his silver and gold not I will be able to transgress [the] mouth of Yahweh God my by doing a small [thing] or a large [thing].
19 Men bliver dog nu her, ogsaa I, i denne Nat, saa vil jeg fornemme, hvad Herren vil ydermere tale med mig.
And now remain please in this [place] also you this night so let me know what? will he increase Yahweh to speak with me.
20 Da kom Gud til Bileam om Natten og sagde til ham: Dersom de Mænd ere komne for at kalde dig, da staa op, gak med dem; men dog, det Ord, som jeg vil tale til dig, det skal du gøre.
And he came God - to Balaam night and he said to him if to summon you they have come the men arise go with them and only the word which I will speak to you it you will do.
21 Da stod Bileam op om Morgenen og sadlede sin Aseninde og drog med Moabiternes Fyrster.
And he arose Balaam in the morning and he saddled donkey his and he went with [the] leaders of Moab.
22 Men Guds Vrede optændtes, fordi han drog med, og Herrens Engel stillede sig i Vejen for at staa ham imod; men han red paa sin Aseninde, og hans tvende Drenge vare med ham.
And it burned [the] anger of God for [was] going he and he stood [the] angel of Yahweh in the road to an adversary to him and he [was] riding on donkey his and two of servants his [were] with him.
23 Og Aseninden saa Herrens Engel staa i Vejen med et draget Sværd i sin Haand, og Aseninden veg af Vejen og gik ud paa Marken; men Bileam slog Aseninden for at bøje den ind paa Vejen.
And it saw the donkey [the] angel of Yahweh standing in the road and sword his [was] drawn in hand his and it turned aside the donkey from the road and it went in the field and he struck Balaam the donkey to turn it the road.
24 Da stod Herrens Engel i en Hulvej imellem Vingaardene, hvor der var Stengærde paa begge Sider.
And he stood [the] angel of Yahweh in [the] narrow way of the vineyards a wall from this and a wall from this.
25 Og der Aseninden saa Herrens Engel, da trykkede hun sig til Væggen og trykkede Bileams Fod til Væggen; og han slog hende end mere.
And it saw the donkey [the] angel of Yahweh and it squeezed itself to the wall and it squeezed [the] foot of Balaam to the wall and he repeated to strike it.
26 Men Herrens Engel blev ved at gaa frem og stod paa et snævert Sted, hvor der ingen Vej var til at vige til højre eller venstre Side.
And he increased [the] angel of Yahweh to pass on and he stood in a place narrow where there not [was] a way to turn aside right [hand] and left [hand].
27 Og Aseninden saa Herrens Engel, og hun lagde sig ned under Bileam; da optændtes Bileams Vrede, og han slog Aseninden med Kæppen.
And it saw the donkey [the] angel of Yahweh and it lay down under Balaam and it burned [the] anger of Balaam and he struck the donkey with the stick.
28 Da aabnede Herren Asenindens Mund, og hun sagde til Bileam: Hvad har jeg gjort dig, at du har slaget mig nu tre Gange.
And he opened Yahweh [the] mouth of the donkey and it said to Balaam what? have I done to you that you have struck me this three feet.
29 Og Bileam sagde til Aseninden: Fordi du har drillet mig, gid jeg havde et Sværd i min Haand, da vilde jeg nu slaa dig ihjel.
And he said Balaam to the donkey that you have dealt wantonly with me if there [were] a sword in hand my that now I killed you.
30 Da sagde Aseninden til Bileam: Er jeg ikke din Aseninde, som du har redet paa al din Tid, indtil denne Dag? plejede jeg nogensinde at gøre saaledes imod dig? og han sagde: Nej.
And it said the donkey to Balaam ¿ not [am] I donkey your which you have ridden on me from duration your until the day this ¿ really have I had [the] habit to do to you thus and he said no.
31 Da oplod Herren Bileams Øjne, at han saa Herrens Engel staaende i Vejen med det dragne Sværd i sin Haand; og han bøjede sig og faldt ned paa sit Ansigt.
And he uncovered Yahweh [the] eyes of Balaam and he saw [the] angel of Yahweh standing in the road and sword his [was] drawn in hand his and he bowed low and he bowed down to face his.
32 Og Herrens Engel sagde til ham: Hvorfor har du slaget din Aseninde nu tre Gange? se, jeger udgangen at staa dig imod; thi for mine Øjne fører denne Vej til Fordærvelse.
And he said to him [the] angel of Yahweh concerning what? did you strike female donkey your this three feet here! I I came out to an adversary for it is precipitate the way to before me.
33 Og Aseninden saa mig og veg nu tre Gange af Vejen for mit Ansigt, ellers, dersom hun ikke var vegen af Vejen for mit Ansigt, da vilde jeg nu endogsaa have slaaet dig ihjel og ladet hende leve.
And it saw me the donkey and it turned aside before me this three feet perhaps it had turned aside from before me if now also you I killed and it I preserved alive.
34 Da sagde Bileam til Herrens Engel: Jeg har syndet, thi jeg vidste ikke, at du stod lige imod mig paa Vejen; og nu, dersom det er ondt for dine Øjne, vil jeg vende tilbage igen.
And he said Balaam to [the] angel of Yahweh I have sinned for not I knew that you [were] standing to meet me in the road and therefore if [it is] displeasing in view your I will turn back for myself.
35 Og Herrens Engel sagde til Bileam: Drag med Mændene, men kun det Ord, som jeg taler til dig, det skal du tale; saa drog Bileam med Balaks Fyrster.
And he said [the] angel of Yahweh to Balaam go with the men and only the word which I will speak to you it you will speak and he went Balaam with [the] leaders of Balak.
36 Og Balak hørte, at Bileam kom, og han drog ud ham i Møde til en Stad i Moab, som var ved Landemærket Arnon, som er ved det yderste Landemærke.
And he heard Balak that he had come Balaam and he went out to meet him to [the] city of Moab which [is] on [the] border of Arnon which [is] at [the] end of the territory.
37 Og Balak sagde til Bileam: Sendte jeg ikke Bud til dig at lade dig kalde? hvi drog du ikke til mig? mon jeg virkelig ikke skulde kunne ære dig?
And he said Balak to Balaam ¿ not certainly did I send to you to summon you why? not did you come to me ¿ really not am I able to honor you.
38 Og Bileam sagde til Balak: Se, jeg er nu kommen til dig; mon jeg formaar at tale noget? det Ord, som Gud vil lægge i min Mund, det vil jeg tale.
And he said Balaam to Balak here! I have come to you now ¿ certainly am I able to speak anything the word which he will put God in mouth my it I will speak.
39 Saa for Bileam med Balak, og de kom til Kirjath-Husoth.
And he went Balaam with Balak and they came Kiriath-huzoth.
40 Og Balak ofrede stort Kvæg og smaat Kvæg og sendte deraf til Bileam og til de Fyrster, som vare hos ham.
And he sacrificed Balak cattle and sheep and he sent to Balaam and to the leaders who [were] with him.
41 Og det skete om Morgenen, da tog Balak Bileam og førte ham op paa Baals Høje; og han saa derfra det yderste af Folket.
And it was in the morning and he took Balak Balaam and he brought up him Bamoth Baal and he saw from there [the] outskirt[s] of the people.
