Numbers 22
1 And the sons of Israel journeyed, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.
Mwet Israel mukuiyak som ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos yen tupasrpasr in acn Moab, layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan ma tulanang Jericho.
2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Ke Balak wen natul Zippor, su tokosra lun Moab, el lohng ke ma mwet Israel oru nu sin mwet Amor ac pisen mwet Israel ma oasr we,
3 And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people, because they were many. And Moab was distressed because of the sons of Israel.
el, ac mwet lal nukewa, mutawauk in sangeng ac rarrar.
4 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.
Mwet Moab fahk nu sin mwet kol lun mwet Midian, “Ac tia paht un mwet se inge ac sukela ma nukewa raunikutyak inge, oana ke soko cow mukul kangla nufon mah ke ima uh.” Ouinge Tokosra Balak
5 And he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people came out from Egypt. Behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide opposite me.
el supwala mwet utuk kas in solalma Balaam wen natul Beor, su muta Pethor apkuran nu Infacl Euphrates in acn Amaw. Elos us kas inge sel Balak nu sel Balaam: “Nga ke akkalemye nu sum lah mutunfacl nufon se tuku Egypt me. Mwet inge osralik yen nukewa, ac nunku in eisla acn sik uh.
6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse for me this people, for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land. For I know that he whom thou bless is blessed, and he whom thou curse is cursed.
Elos ku liki kut, ke ma inge nunak munas fahsru fahkla sie kas in selnga nu faclos keik. Na sahp kut fah ku in kutangulosla ac luselosyak liki acn uh. Nga etu lah ke kom akinsewowoye sie mwet, el insewowo, ac ke kom selngawi sie mwet, el selngawiyuk.”
7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand, and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.
Ouinge kewana mwet kol lun mwet Moab ac lun mwet Midian elos us mani in moli selnga, ac som nu yorol Balaam, ac fahkang kas lal Balak nu sel.
8 And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Jehovah shall speak to me. And the rulers of Moab abode with Balaam.
Balaam el fahk nu selos, “Mongla yorosr ofong, ac lutu nga fah fahkak nu suwos kutena ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik.” Na mwet kol lun mwet Moab elos muta yorol Balaam.
9 And God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
God El tuku nu yorol Balaam ac siyuk sel, “Su mwet muta yurum inge?”
10 And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying,
El topuk, “Tokosra Balak lun mwet Moab el supwalosme in fahk nu sik
11 Behold, the people came out of Egypt, it covers the face of the earth. Now, come curse them for me. Perhaps I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.
lah mutunfacl se tuku Egypt me ac oalik fin acn uh nufon. El lungse nga in selngawelos kacl, tuh elan ku in mweunelos ac luselosla.”
12 And God said to Balaam, Thou shall not go with them. Thou shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.
God El fahk nu sel Balaam, “Nik kom wi mwet inge som. Nga akinsewowoye tari mwet Israel, na pa kom in tia selngawelos.”
13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the rulers of Balak, Get into your land, for Jehovah refuses to give me leave to go with you.
Lotutang tok ah, Balaam el som nu yurin mwet lal Balak ac fahk, “Folokla nu yen suwos. LEUM GOD El tia lela nga in wi kowos som.”
14 And the rulers of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuses to come with us.
Ouinge elos folokla nu yorol Balak ac fahkang nu sel lah Balaam el srangesr welulos.
15 And Balak sent yet again rulers, more, and more honorable than they.
Na Balak el supwala sie u in mwet kol pus liki u se meet ah, ac fulat lukelos.
16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming to me.
Elos som nu yorol Balaam ac fahkang kas lal Balak inge: “Nga kwafe kom in tuku na! Nimet sang kutena ma in ikolkomi.
17 For I will promote thee to very great honor, and whatever thou say to me I will do. Come therefore, I pray thee, curse this people for me.
Nga ac moli nu sum ke sie lupa na yohk. Ma nukewa kom fahk an nga ac oru. Nunak munas, fahsru ac selngawiya mwet inge keik.”
18 And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Jehovah my God, to do less or more.
Tusruktu Balaam el topkolos ac fahk, “Balak el finne ase luk silver ac gold nukewa in lohm sel, nga enenu na in oru oana ma LEUM GOD luk El sapkin nu sik. Nga tia ku in akyokyela ku aksrikyela sap lal.
19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what Jehovah will speak to me more.
Ke ma inge, nunak munas mongla yorosr ofong oana u se meet ah, na nga fah ku in etu lah ac oasr pac ma LEUM GOD El ac fahk nu sik.”
20 And God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, go with them, but only the word which I speak to thee, that shall thou do.
Ke fong sac God El tuku nu yorol Balaam ac fahk, “Mwet inge fin siyuk kom in welulos som, akola kom in welulos. Tusruktu oru na ma nga fahk nu sum uh.”
21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the rulers of Moab.
Ouinge Balaam el tukakek ke lotutang tok ah, akoela donkey natul ah, ac wi mwet kol Moab ah som.
22 And God's anger was kindled because he went, and the agent of Jehovah placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
God El kasrkusrak lah Balaam el wi som, na ke Balaam el kasrusr lin donkey natul, ac mwet kulansap luo lal atlol, lipufan lun LEUM GOD tuyak kosrala inkanek uh.
23 And the donkey saw the agent of Jehovah 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 smote the donkey, to turn her into the way.
Ke donkey soko ah liyauk lipufan se tu we ac sruok cutlass se, el kuhfla liki inkanek uh ac som nu inimae. Balaam el sringil donkey soko ah ac tolokunulma nu inkanek uh.
24 Then the agent of Jehovah stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
Na lipufan sac tui ke soko inkanek oasriksrik inmasrlon ima in grape luo, ac oasr pot fulat siska lac lac.
25 And the donkey saw the agent of Jehovah, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall. And he smote her again.
Ke donkey soko uh liyauk lipufan sac, el kalukyang nu ke sisken soko pot uh ac itungya nial Balaam nu kac. Balaam el sifilpa sringil donkey natul uh.
26 And the agent of Jehovah went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
Na lipufan sac sifilpa kilukyak nu meet, tui ke sie acn iktok ma wangin na pwaye acn mwet ku in aikil we.
27 And the donkey saw the agent of Jehovah, and she lay down under Balaam. And Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the donkey with his staff.
Na ke donkey soko ah liye lipufan sac, el ona infohk ah. Balaam el foloyak ac sifilpa srunglul ke sak soko sel.
28 And Jehovah opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou have smitten me these three times?
Na LEUM GOD El sang ku nu sin donkey ah in sramsram, na el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Mea nga oru koluk nu sum? Efu ku kom uniyu pacl tolu lac?”
29 And Balaam said to the donkey, Because thou have mocked me. I would there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed thee.
Balaam el topuk, “Mweyen kom oru oana ngan arulana lalfon! Funu oasr cutlass sik, nga lukun unikomi na.”
30 And the donkey said to Balaam, Am not I thy donkey, upon which thou have ridden all thy life long to this day? Was I ever accustomed to do so to thee? And he said, No.
Donkey el sifilpa fahk, “Ya tia nga na pa donkey soko ma kom nuna kasrusr fac in moul lom nufon? Mea, oasr pacl nga oru ouinge nu sum meet?” El topuk, “Wangin.”
31 Then Jehovah opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the agent of Jehovah standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand. And he bowed his head, and fell on his face.
Na LEUM GOD El oru tuh Balaam elan ku in liyauk lipufan sac ke el tu sruok cutlass natul; ac Balaam el faksufi nu infohk uh.
32 And the agent of Jehovah said to him, Why have thou smitten thy donkey these three times? Behold, I have come forth as an adversary, because thy way is perverse before me.
Lipufan sac siyuk sel, “Efu ku kom uni donkey nutum ouinge pacl tolu lac? Nga tuku in tuh kosrekomla, mweyen kom tia enenu in orala fahsr se lom inge.
33 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 even slain thee, and saved her alive.
A donkey nutum uh liyeyuyak ac kuhfla liki inkanek uh pacl tolu. El funu tia kuhfla, nga lukun unikomi ac molella.”
34 And Balaam said to the agent of Jehovah, I have sinned, for I knew not that thou stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get back again.
Balaam el topuk, “Nga orekma koluk. Nga tiana etu lah kom tu inkanek uh in kosreyula. Tusruktu inge kom fin nunku mu tia wo nga in som, na tari nga ac folokla nu yen sik.”
35 And the agent of Jehovah said to Balaam, Go with the men, but only the word that I shall speak to thee, that thou shall speak. So Balaam went with the rulers of Balak.
A lipufan sac fahk nu sel, “Wi na mwet inge som, tusruktu kom fah fahk na ma nga ac sap kom in fahk uh.” Ouinge Balaam el wi mwet uh som.
36 And when Balak heard that Balaam came, he went out to meet him to the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is in the outmost part of the border.
Ke Balak el lohngak lah Balaam el tuku, el som in osun nu sel in acn Ar, sie siti su oan sisken Infacl Arnon ke masrol lun Moab.
37 And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to thee to call thee? Why did thou not come to me? Am I not able indeed to promote thee to honor?
Balak el fahk nu sel, “Efu kom tia tuku ke nga tuh suli kom meet ah? Ya kom nunku mu nga tia ku in moli wo nu sum?”
38 And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I have come to thee. Have I now any power at all to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.
Balaam el topuk, “Liye, nga pa inge. Tusruktu, ku fuka se luk an? Ma na God El sapkin uh pa nga ac fahk uh.”
39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath-huzoth.
Ouinge Balaam el welul Balak som nu ke siti srisrik Huzoth,
40 And Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the rulers that were with him.
yen Balak el kisakin cow ac sheep we, ac sang kutu ikwen ma inge nu sel Balaam ac mwet kol su welul.
41 And it came to pass in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, and he saw from there the outmost part of the people.
In lotu tok ah, Balak el usalak Balaam nu Bamoth Baal, sie acn su Balaam el ac ku in ngetla ac liye kutu sin mwet Israel ah we.
