Numbers 22
1 And the children of Israel departed, and encamped on the west of Moab by Jordan towards Jericho.
Tad Israēla bērni cēlās un apmetās Moaba klajumos, viņpus Jardānes, Jērikum pretī.
2 And when Balac son of Sepphor saw all that Israel did to the Amorite,
Kad nu Balaks, Cipora dēls, visu redzēja, ko Israēls bija darījis Amoriešiem,
3 then Moab feared the people exceedingly because they were many; and Moab was grieved before the face of the children of Israel.
Tad Moabs ļoti bijās no tiem ļaudīm, jo to bija daudz, un Moabam bija bail no Israēla bērniem.
4 And Moab said to the elders of Madiam, Now shall this assembly lick up all that are round about us, as a calf would lick up the green [herbs] of the field: —and Balac son of Sepphor was king of Moab at that time.
Tāpēc Moabs sacīja uz Midijaniešu vecajiem: nu šī draudze visu apēdīs, kas mums visapkārt, itin kā vērsis apēd zāli virs zemes. Bet Balaks, Cipora dēls, bija tanī laikā Moabiešu ķēniņš.
5 And he sent ambassadors to Balaam the son of Beor, to Phathura, which is on a river of the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people is come out of Egypt, and behold it has covered the face of the earth, and it has encamped close to me.
Un tas sūtīja vēstnešus pie Bileāma, Beora dēla, uz Petoru, kas pie tās lielupes, viņa ļaužu bērnu zemē, viņu aicināt, un sacīja: redzi, tur ir ļaudis izgājuši no Ēģiptes zemes, redzi, tie apklāj zemes virsu un ir apmetušies man pretī.
6 And now come, curse me this people, for it is stronger than we; if we may be able to strike some of them, and I will cast them out of the land: for I know that whoever you do bless, they are blessed, and whoever you do curse, they are cursed.
Un nu nāc jel un nolādi man šos ļaudis, - jo tie ir stiprāki nekā es, - ka es tos varētu apkaut un izdzīt no zemes; jo es zinu, ka ko tu svētī, tas ir svētīts, un ko tu nolādi, tas ir nolādēts.
7 And the elders of Moab went, and the elders of Madiam, and their divining [instruments were] in their hands; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balac.
Tad Moabiešu vecaji un Midijaniešu vecaji gāja, un zīlēšanas alga bija viņu rokā, un tie nāca pie Bileāma un runāja uz viņu Balaka vārdus.
8 And he said to them, Tarry here the night, and I will answer you the things which the Lord shall say to me; and the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
Tad tas uz viņiem sacīja: paliekat šeit par nakti, tad es jums atsacīšu, kā Tas Kungs uz mani runās; un Moaba virsnieki palika pie Bileāma.
9 And God came to Balaam, and said to him, Who are these men with you?
Un Dievs nāca pie Bileāma un sacīja: kas tie tādi ļaudis, kas pie tevis?
10 And Balaam said to God, Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab, sent them to me, saying,
Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Dievu: Balaks, Cipora dēls, Moabiešu ķēniņš, pie manis sūtījis
11 Behold, a people has come forth out of Egypt, and has covered the face of the land, and it has encamped near to me; and now come, curse it for me, if indeed I shall be able to strike it, and cast it out of the land.
(Sacīdams): Redzi, ļaudis no Ēģiptes zemes ir izgājuši un apklāj zemes virsu, nāc nu, nolādi man tos, ka es pret tiem varētu karot un tos izdzīt.
12 And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them, neither shall you curse the people; for they are blessed.
Tad Dievs sacīja uz Bileāmu: tev nebūs iet ar viņiem, tev nebūs šos ļaudis nolādēt, jo tie ir svētīti.
13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balac, Depart quickly to your lord; God does not permit me to go with you.
Tad Bileāms cēlās rītā agri un sacīja uz Balaka lielkungiem: ejat uz savu zemi, jo Tas Kungs aizliedz un neļauj Man iet ar jums.
14 And the princes of Moab rose, and came to Balac, and said, Balaam will not come with us.
Tad Moaba virsnieki cēlās un nāca pie Balaka un sacīja: Bileāms ir liedzies, mums iet līdz.
15 And Balac yet again sent more princes and more honourable than they.
Un Balaks atkal sūtīja vēl vairāk un jo cienīgus lielkungus.
16 And they came to Balaam, and they say to him, Thus says Balac the son of Sepphor: I beseech you, delay not to come to me.
Tie nāca pie Bileāma un uz to sacīja: tā saka Balaks, Cipora dēls: lūdzams, neliedzies nākt pie manis.
17 For I will greatly honour you, and will do for you whatever you shall say; come then, curse me this people.
Jo es tevi augsti godināšu un visu, ko tu man sacīsi, to es darīšu: tad nāc jel, nolād man šos ļaudis.
18 And Balaam answered and said to the princes of Balac, If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord God, to make it little or great in my mind.
Tad Bileāms atbildēja un sacīja uz Balaka kalpiem: kaut man Balaks savu namu dotu pilnu zelta un sudraba, tomēr es nevarētu pārkāpt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdu, darīt vai mazu vai lielu lietu.
19 And now do you also wait here this night, and I shall know what the Lord will yet say to me.
Un nu paliekat jel arī šo nakti pie manis, tad es redzēšu, ko Tas Kungs atkal ar mani runās.
20 And God came to Balaam by night, and said to him, If these men are come to call you, rise and follow them; nevertheless the word which I shall speak to you, it shall you do.
Tad Dievs nāca pie Bileāma naktī un uz to sacīja: ja tie vīri nākuši tevi aicināt, tad celies, ej viņiem līdz, bet tikai to tev būs darīt, ko Es uz tevi runāšu.
21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
Tad Bileāms cēlās rītā agri un apsedloja savu ēzelieni un gāja tiem Moaba virsniekiem līdz.
22 And God was very angry because he went; and the angel of the Lord rose up to withstand him. Now he had mounted his ass, and his two servants were with him.
Bet Dieva bardzība iedegās, tāpēc ka viņš gāja, un Tā Kunga eņģelis nostājās uz ceļa viņam par pretinieku; un viņš jāja uz savas ēzelienes, un viņa divi puiši viņam līdz.
23 And when the ass saw the angel of God standing opposite in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, then the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field; and [Balaam] struck the ass with his staff to direct her in the way.
Un tā ēzeliene ieraudzīja Tā Kunga eņģeli uz ceļa stāvam, pliku zobenu rokā, un tā ēzeliene atkāpās no ceļa un gāja uz tīrumu; tad Bileāms sita to ēzelieni, viņu griezdams uz ceļu.
24 And the angel of the Lord stood in the avenues of the vines, a fence [being] on this side and a fence on that.
Bet Tā Kunga eņģelis nostājās ceļa šaurumā vīna dārzu starpā, kur abējās pusēs bija mūris.
25 And when the ass saw the angel of God, she thrust herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall, and he struck her again.
Kad nu tā ēzeliene Tā Kunga eņģeli ieraudzīja, tad tā spiedās pie mūra un piespieda Bileāma kāju pie mūra; tāpēc viņš to atkal sita.
26 And the angel of the Lord went farther, and came and stood in a narrow place where it was impossible to turn to the right or the left.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis gāja tālāki un nostājās kādā šaurā vietā, kur nebija kur atkāpties, ne pa labo, ne pa kreiso roku.
27 And when the ass saw the angel of God, she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam was angry, and struck the ass with his staff.
Kad nu tā ēzeliene Tā Kunga eņģeli ieraudzīja, tad tā pakrita uz ceļiem apakš Bileāma, un Bileāma dusmas iedegās un viņš to ēzelieni sita ar koku.
28 And God opened the mouth of the ass, and she says to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have struck me this third time?
Un Tas Kungs atvēra muti tai ēzelienei un tā sacīja uz Bileāmu: ko es tev esmu darījusi, ka tu man nu trīs reizes esi sitis?
29 And Balaam said to the ass, Because you have mocked me; and if I [had] had a sword in my hand, I would now have killed you.
Un Bileāms sacīja uz to ēzelieni: tāpēc ka tu mani esi kaitinājusi! Kaut zobens būtu manā rokā, es tevi tagad nokautu!
30 And the ass says to Balaam, [Am] not I your ass on which you have ridden since your youth till this day? did I ever do thus to you, utterly disregarding [you]? and he said, No.
Tad tā ēzeliene sacīja uz Bileāmu: vai neesmu tava ēzeliene, uz kā tu esi jājis līdz šai dienai? Vai tas bijis man ieradums tev tā darīt? Viņš sacīja: nē.
31 And God opened the eyes of Balaam, and he sees the angel of the Lord withstanding [him] in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, and he stooped down and worshipped on his face.
Tad Tas Kungs Bileāmam atvēra acis, ka viņš Tā Kunga eņģeļi ieraudzīja uz ceļa stāvam, pliku zobenu rokā; tāpēc viņš klanījās un nometās uz savu vaigu.
32 And the angel of God said to him, Why have you struck your ass this third time? and, behold, I came out to withstand you, for your way was not seemly before me; and when the ass saw me, she turned away from me this third time.
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis uz viņu sacīja: kāpēc tu savu ēzelieni nu trīs reiz sitis? Raugi, es esmu izgājis tev par pretinieku, jo tavs ceļš manā priekšā ir ļauns.
33 And if she had not turned out of the way, surely now, I should have slain you, and should have saved her alive.
Bet tā ēzeliene mani redzējusi un nu trīs reiz no manis atkāpusies, un ja viņa nebūtu atkāpusies, tiešām es tevi būtu nokāvis un viņu pametis dzīvu.
34 And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing opposite in the way to meet [me]; and now if it shall not be pleasing to you [for me to go on], I will return.
Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Tā Kunga eņģeli: es esmu grēkojis, jo es nezināju, tevi uz ceļa man pretī stāvam, un nu, ja tev nepatīk, tad es iešu atpakaļ.
35 And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men: nevertheless the word which I shall speak to you, that you shall take heed to speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balac.
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Bileāmu: ej tiem vīriem līdz; tomēr to vien, ko es uz tevi runāšu, to tev būs runāt. Tā Bileāms gāja Balaka lielkungiem līdz.
36 And when Balac heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him, to a city of Moab, which is on the borders of Arnon, which is on the [extreme] part of the borders.
Kad nu Balaks dzirdēja Bileāmu nākam, tad viņš tam izgāja pretī līdz tai Moabiešu pilsētai, kas ir Arnonas robežās, - pašā robežu malā.
37 And Balac said to Balaam, Did I not send to you to call you? why have you not come to me? shall I not indeed be able to honour you?
Un Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: vai es neesmu sūtīdams pie tevis sūtījis, tevi aicināt? Kāpēc tu neesi pie manis nācis? vai tad es nespēju tevi godināt?
38 And Balaam said to Balac, Behold, I am now come to you: shall I be able to say anything? the word which God shall put into my mouth, that I shall speak.
Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: redzi, es pie tevis esmu atnācis, bet vai es kautko varu runāt kā vien to vārdu, ko Dievs liks manā mutē? - To es runāšu.
39 And Balaam went with Balac, and they came to the cities of streets.
Un Bileāms gāja Balakam līdz un tie nonāca Kiriat Hucotā.
40 And Balac offered sheep and calves, and sent to Balaam and to his princes who were with him.
Un Balaks upurēja lielus un sīkus lopus un sūtīja Bileāmam un tiem lielkungiem, kas pie viņa bija.
41 And it was morning; and Balac took Balaam, and brought him up to the pillar of Baal, and showed him thence a part of the people.
Un no rīta Balaks ņēma Bileāmu un to veda uz Baāla kalniem, un no turienes šis redzēja vienu galu no tiem ļaudīm.
