Numbers 22
1 And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan from Jericho.
И воздвигшеся сынове Израилтестии, ополчишася на запады Моава у Иордана ко Иерихону.
2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
И видев Валак сын Сепфоров вся, елика сотвори Израиль Аморрею,
3 And Moab was much afraid of the people, because they were many; and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
и убояся Моав людий зело, яко мнози бяху, и оскорбе Моав от лица сынов Израилевых,
4 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now will this company lick up all that is round about us, as an ox licks up the green herb of the field. Now Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.
и рече Моав старейшинам Мадиамлим: ныне потребит сонм сей всех, иже окрест нас, якоже потребляет телец злак на поли. И Валак, сын Сепфоров, бяше царь Моавль в то время,
5 And he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is on the river in the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people is come out from Egypt; behold, they cover the face of the land, and they abide over against me.
и посла послы к Валааму, сыну Веорову, во Фафуру яже есть у реки земли сынов людий его, призвати его, глаголя: се, людие изыдоша из Египта, и се, покрыша лице земли, и сии седят при одержании моем:
6 And now come, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are mightier than I: perhaps I may be able to smite them, and drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
и ныне прииди, проклени мне люди сия, понеже крепльшии суть паче нас, аше возможем сих избити, и изжену их из земли: яко вем, ихже аще благословиши ты, благословени суть, и ихже аще прокленеши ты, прокляти.
7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed, having the rewards of divination in their hand. And they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.
И идоша старейшины Моавли и старейшины Мадиамли, и волхвования в руках их: и приидоша к Валааму и глаголаша ему словеса Валакова.
8 And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, according as Jehovah shall speak unto me. And the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
И рече к ним: препочийте зде нощь (сию), и отвещаю вам деяния, яже аще возглаголет Господь ко мне. И пребыша князи Моавли у Валаама.
9 And God came to Balaam, and said, Who are these men with thee?
И прииде Бог к Валааму и рече ему: что человецы сии у тебе?
10 And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me,
И рече Валаам к Богу: Валак сын Сепфоров, царь Моавль, посла их ко мне, глаголя:
11 Behold, a people is come out of Egypt, and it covers the face of the land. Now come, curse me them: perhaps I may be able to fight against them, and drive them out.
се, людие изыдоша из Египта и покрыша лице земли, и сии седят при одержании моем: и ныне прииди, проклени ми их, негли возмогу избити их и изгнати я от земли.
12 And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people; for they are blessed.
И рече Бог к Валааму: да не идеши с ними, ниже да кленеши людий: суть бо благословени.
13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Go into your land; for Jehovah refuses to give me leave to go with you.
И востав Валаам заутра, рече князем Валаковым: возвратитеся к господину своему: не попущает ми Бог ити с вами.
14 And the princes of Moab rose up; and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam has refused to come with us.
И воставше князи Моавли приидоша к Валаку и рекоша ему: не хощет Валаам приити с нами.
15 Then sent Balak yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
И приложи Валак еще послати князи множайшии и честнейшии сих.
16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor: Suffer not thyself, I pray thee, to be restrained from coming to me;
И приидоша к Валааму и глаголаша ему: сия глаголет Валак, сын Сепфоров: молю тя, не обленися приити ко мне:
17 for very highly will I honour thee, and whatever thou shalt say to me will I do; come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
честне бо тя почту, и вся, елика аще речеши ми, сотворю тебе: и прииди, и проклени ми люди сия.
18 And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of Jehovah my God, to do less or more.
И отвеща Валаам и рече князем Валаковым: аще ми даст Валак полну храмину свою злата и сребра, не могу преступити слова Господа Бога, еже сотворити то мало или велико в разуме моем:
19 And now, I pray you, abide ye also here this night, and I shall know what Jehovah will say to me further.
и ныне потерпите зде и вы нощь сию, и увем, что приложит Господь глаголати ко мне.
20 Then God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men have come to call thee, rise up, [and] go with them; but only what I shall say unto thee shalt thou do.
И прииде Бог к Валааму нощию и рече ему: аще звати тя приидоша человецы сии, востав иди вслед их, но слово, еже аше реку тебе, то да сотвориши.
21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
И востав Валаам заутра, оседла осля свое и иде со князи Моавли.
22 And God's anger was kindled because he went; and the Angel of Jehovah set himself in the way to withstand him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two young men were with him.
И разгневася яростию Бог, яко иде сей: и воста Ангел Божий препяти ему на пути. Сей же седяше на осляти своем и два раба его с ним.
23 And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand; and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field, and Balaam smote the ass to turn her into the way.
И узрев осел Ангела Божия супротив стояща на пути, и мечь извлечен в руце его, и совратися осел с пути и идяше на поле: и бияше (Валаам) осля жезлом своим, еже направити е на путь:
24 And the Angel of Jehovah stood in a hollow of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
и ста Ангел Божий на броздах виноградных: ограждение отсюду, и ограждение отюнуду:
25 And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah, and she pressed herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall; and he smote her again.
и узрев осел Ангела Божия, приложися ко ограде и прижме ногу Валааму ко ограде, и приложи еще бити его:
26 Then the Angel of Jehovah went still further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
и приложи Ангел Божии, и шед свята в месте узком, в немже не бяше уклонитися ни на десно, ни на лево:
27 And the ass saw the Angel of Jehovah, and lay down under Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staff.
и видя осля Ангела Божия, паде под Валаамом: и разгневася Валаам, и бияше осля жезлом.
28 And Jehovah opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
И отверзе Бог уста осляти, и рече Валааму: что сотворих тебе, яко се, в третие биеши мя?
29 And Balaam said to the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee!
И рече Валаам осляти: яко поругалося ми еси: и аще бых мечь имел в руку моею, пробол бых тя.
30 And the ass said to Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine to this day? was I ever wont to do so to thee? And he said, No.
И рече осля Валааму: не аз ли ослица твоя, на нейже ты ездиши от юности своея до днешняго дне? Еда презорством презревши сотворих тебе сие? Он же рече: ни.
31 Then Jehovah opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the Angel of Jehovah standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed and prostrated himself on his face.
Отверзе же Бог очи Валааму, и узре Ангела Божия противостояща на пути, и мечь извлечен в руце его: и приклонився поклонися ему лицем своим.
32 And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, it was I who came forth to withstand thee, for the way [thou walkest in] is for ruin before me.
И рече ему Ангел Божий: почто биеши осля твое сие в третие? И се, Аз приидох на препятие твое, яко неприятен путь твой предо Мною: и видя мя ослица, совратися от Мене се третие:
33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times; had she not turned from me, I had now certainly slain thee, and saved her alive.
и аще бы не уклонилася от Мене, ныне тя убо убил бых, сию же сохранил бых.
34 And Balaam said to the Angel of Jehovah, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me; and now, if it be evil in thine eyes, I will get me back again.
И рече Валаам ко Ангелу Господню: согреших, не ведех бо, яко Ты мне противостоял еси на пути: и ныне аще Тебе не угодно, возвращуся.
35 And the Angel of Jehovah said to Balaam, Go with the men, but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that shalt thou speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
И рече Ангел Божий к Валааму: иди ты с человеки: обаче слово, еже аще реку тебе, сие сохрани глаголати. И иде Валаам со князи Валаковы.
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 at the extremity of the border.
И услышав Валак, яко приходит Валаам, изыде во сретение ему во град Моавль, иже есть в пределех Арноних, иже есть на краи пределов.
37 And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to thee to call thee? why didst thou not come to me? am I not surely able to honour thee?
И рече Валак к Валааму: не послах ли к тебе звати тя? Почто не пришел еси ко мне? Или не возмогу почтити тебе?
38 And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I am come to thee; but shall I now be able at all to say anything? the word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.
И рече Валаам к Валаку: се, прихожду к тебе ныне: мощен ли буду глаголати что? Слово, еже аще вложить Бог во уста моя, сие реку.
39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjath-huzoth.
И иде Валаам с Валаком, и внидоша во Грады Селныя.
40 And Balak offered oxen and small cattle, and sent to Balaam and to the princes that were with him.
И закла Валак телцы и овцы, и посла Валааму и князем иже с ним.
41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up to the high places of Baal, and he saw from thence the extremity of the people.
И бысть заутра, и взяв Валак Валаама, возведе его на столп Ваалов, и показа ему оттуду часть некую людий.
