< Numbers 22 >
1 And they went forward and encamped in the plains of Moab, over against where Jericho is situate beyond the Jordan.
Isala: ili dunu da bu asili, Moua: be umi soge amo Yodane Hano ea eso mabe la: idi, Yeligou moilai bai bagade la: idila la: idilale diala, amogawi ilia fisisu hamoi.
2 And Balac the son of Sephor, seeing all that Israel had done to the Amorrhite,
Moua: be hina bagade Ba: ila: ge (Sibo egefe), e da Isala: ili ilia hou amo A: moulaide dunuma hamoi amola ilia idi bagade nababeba: le,
3 And that the Moabites were in great fear of him, and were not able to sustain his assault,
e amola ea fi dunu huluane da bagadewane beda: i galu.
4 He said to the elders of Madian: So will this people destroy all that dwell in our borders, as the ox is wont to eat the grass to the very roots. Now he was at that time king in Moab.
Moua: be dunu da Midia: ne fi dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Bulamagau gawali da gisi bugi ganodini gisi na ebelesa, amo defele Isala: ili fi bagade da ninia liligi huluane wadela: lesimu.”
5 He sent therefore messengers to Balaam the son of Beer, a soothsayer, who dwelt by the river of the land of the children of Ammon, to call him, and to say: Behold a people is come out of Egypt, that hath covered the face of the earth, sitting over against me.
Amaiba: le, hina bagade Ba: ila: ge da sia: ne iasu dunu ilia Ba: ila: me (Bio egefe, e da Bidio moilai Amoue soge Iufala: idisi Hano gadenene esalu), amo dunu ema misa: ne sia: si. Sia: ne iasu dunu da Ba: ila: ge ea sia: amane sia: si, “Di da amo liligi dawa: ma: ne na da sia: sisa. Dunu fi bagade da Idibidi sogega goeguda: misi dagoi. Amo dunu da soge huluane amoga a: i ahoa, amola ilia da ninia soge huluane lamusa: magagisa.
6 Come therefore, and curse this people, because it is mightier than I: if by any means I may beat them and drive them out of my land: for I know that he whom thou shalt bless is blessed, and he whom thou shalt curse is cursed.
Ilia idi da ninia idi baligi dagoi. Amaiba: le, di goeguda: misini, na fidima: ne ilima gagabusu aligima: ne ilegema. Amasea, amabela: ? ninia da ilima hasalimu amola ninia soge fisimusa: ili sefasimu. Na dawa: ! Di da dunu hahawane esaloma: ne sia: sea, ilia da hahawane esalumu, amola di da ilima gagabusu aligima: ne ilegesea, amo gagabusu da ilima aligi dialumu.”
7 And the ancients of Moab, and the elders of Madian, went with the price of divination in their hands. And when they were come to Balaam, and had told him all the words of Balac:
Amaiba: le, Moua: be amola Midia: ne ouligisu dunu da amo gagabusu ilegesu dabe sia: amo gaguli asili, Ba: ila: mema doaga: le, Ba: ila: ge ea sia: ema sia: ne i.
8 He answered: Tarry here this night, and I will answer whatsoever the Lord shall say to me. And while they stayed with Balaam, God came and said to him:
Ba: ila: me da ilima amane sia: i, “Wali guiguda: golale, aya na da Hina Gode Ea nama sia: mu, amo dilima olelemu.” Amaiba: le, Moua: be ouligisu dunu da Ba: ila: me ili esalu.
9 What mean these men that are with thee?
Gode da Ba: ila: mema misini, amane sia: i, “Amo dunu dili esalebe da nowa dunula: ?”
10 He answered: Balac the son of Sephor king of the Moabites hath sent to me,
Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Moua: be hina bagade Ba: ila: ge da ili nama amane olelema: ne asunasi,
11 Saying: Behold a people that is come out of Egypt, hath covered the face of the land: come and curse them, if by any means I may fight with them and drive them away.
‘Dunu fi amo da Idibidi sogega misi da soge huluane amoga a: i ahoa. E da agoane hanai gala, amo na da gagubusu ilima aligima: ne ilegemu. Amasea, e da ilima doagala: le, gadili sefasimusa: dawa: mu.”
12 And God said to Balaam: Thou shalt not go with them, nor shalt thou curse the people: because it is blessed.
Gode da Ba: ila: mema amane sia: i, “Amo dunu mae sigi masa! Amola Isala: ili fi dunu ilima gagabui aligima: ne mae ilegema! Bai Na da ilima hahawane dogolegele hou ilegele i dagoi.”
13 And he rose in the morning and said to the princes: Go into your country, because the Lord hath forbid me to come with you.
Golale, hahabe, Ba: ila: me da Ba: ila: ge ea sia: ne iasu dunuma asili, amane sia: i, “Dilia diasuga buhagima! Hina Gode da, na dili mae sigi masa: ne sia: i dagoi.”
14 The princes returning, said to Balac: Balaam would not come with us.
Amaiba: le, ilia da Ba: ila: ge ema buhagili, Ba: ila: me da ili mae sigi misa: ne sia: i amo ema olelei.
15 Then he sent many more and more noble than he had sent before:
Amalalu, Ba: ila: ge da sia: ne iasu dunu ilia idi da musa: asi dagoi, amo ilia hou da musa: asi hou ilia baligi, amo asunasi.
16 Who, when they were come to Balaam, said: Thus saith Balac the son of Sephor, Delay not to come to me:
Ilia da Ba: ila: mema asili, Ba: ila: ge ea sia: ema amane alofele i, “Na dima ha: giwane edegesa. Misa! Logo ga: su liligi mae dawa: ma!
17 For I am ready to honour thee, and will give thee whatsoever thou wilt: come and curse this people.
Na da bidi bagadewane dima imunu, amola dia hanai adole ba: su huluane hamomu. Na dima ha: giwane edegesa. Misa! Amola na fidima: ne amo Isala: ili dunu fi ilima gagabui aligima: ne ilegema.”
18 Balaam answered: If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot alter the word of the Lord my God, to speak either more or less.
Be Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Ba: ila: ge da silifa amola gouli ea hina bagade diasu ganodini amo huluanedafa nama ianoba, na da Hina Gode Ea sia: fonobahadi afae fawane giadofamu da nama hamedei gala: loba.
19 I pray you to stay here this night also, that I may know what the Lord will answer me once more.
Be dilia musa: misi dunu defele, wali gasia goeguda: esaloma. Bai na da Hina Godema bu adole ba: mu. Amabela: ? E da nama sia: eno ganabela: ?”
20 God therefore came to Balaam in the night, and said to him: It these men be come to call thee, arise and go with them: yet so, that thou do what I shall command thee.
Amo gasia, Gode da Ba: ila: mema misini, amane sia: i, “Amo dunu da dia ili sigi masa: ne sia: musa: misi galea, defea, dia liligi momagele, ili sigi masa. Be Na hamoma: ne sia: i defele amo fawane hamoma.”
21 Balaam arose in the morning, and saddling his ass went with them.
Amaiba: le, hahabe, Ba: ila: me da ea dougi amo da: iya fa: le fisu amo lala: gilalu, fila heda: le, Moua: be ouligisu dunu amola sigi asi.
22 And God was angry. And an angel of the Lord stood in the way against Balaam, who sat on the ass, and had two servants with him.
Ba: ila: me da ahoabeba: le, Gode da ougi ba: i. Amaiba: le, Ba: ila: me da ea dougi da: iya fila heda: le, ea hawa: hamosu dunu aduna amola gilisili: logoga ahoanoba, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da ea logo hedofamusa: , logo dogoa lelu.
23 The ass seeing the angel standing in the way, with a drawn sword, turned herself out of the way, and went into the field. And when Balaam beat her, and had a mind to bring her again to the way,
Dougi da a: igele dunu gegesu gobihei bagade gaguliwane lelebe ba: beba: le, e da logo fisili, bu la: ididili sega sa: i. Ba: ila: me da ea dougi fananu, bu logoga logei.
24 The angel stood in a narrow place between two walls, wherewith the vineyards were enclosed.
Amalalu, a:igele dunu da logo donoboi amo da waini efe sagai amo da igiga gagoi, amo dibiga asili, lelu.
25 And the ass seeing him, thrust herself close to the wall, and bruised the foot of the rider. But he beat her again:
Dougi da a: igele ba: beba: le, logo la: idi amoga bobogala: le, Ba: ila: me ea emo da igiga gagoi amo damana fanasili gigidinai. Ba: ila: me da bu enowane dougi fai.
26 And nevertheless the angel going on to a narrow place, where there was no way to turn aside either to the right hand or to the left, stood to meet him.
A: igele da eno ba: le gaidi asili, donoboidafa logo sogebi, la: ididili amola la: ididili baligimu hamedei sogebi, amoga lelu.
27 And when the ass saw the angel standing, she fell under the feet of the rider: who being angry beat her sides more vehemently with a staff.
Dougi da bu a: igele dunu ba: beba: le, osoboga diagudui. Ba: ila: me ea ougi bagade heda: le, e da dougi amo ea galiamoga fananu.
28 And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said: What have I done to thee? Why strikest thou me, lo, now this third time?
Amalalu, Hina Gode da dougi amoma, dunuga sia: be agoane sia: ma: ne, gasa i. Dougi da Ba: ila: mema amane sia: i, “Na da dima adi hamobela: ? Di da abuliba: le, na udiana agoane udigili fabela: ?”
29 Balaam answered: Because thou hast deserved it, and hast served me ill: I would I had a sword that I might kill thee.
Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Bai di da na gagaoui dunu agoane ba: ma: ne, hamoi dagoi! Na da gegesu gobihei bagade gagui ganiaba, na da di medole legela: loba.”
30 The ass said: Am not I thy beast, on which thou hast been always accustomed to ride until this present day? tell me if I ever did the like thing to thee. But he said: Never.
Dougi da bu adole i, “Na da dia dougi amola dia esalusu ganodini di da eso huluane nama fila heda: le ahoanusu. Na da amo hou musa: dima hamobela: ?” Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Hame mabu!”
31 Forthwith the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel standing in the way with a drawn sword, and he worshipped him falling flat on the ground.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Ba: ila: mema amo a: igele dunu gegesu gobihei bagade gaguiwane lelebe amo ba: ma: ne, e si doasi. Amalalu, Ba: ila: me da hina: odagi osoba guduli gala: lasa: i.
32 And the angel said to him: Why beatest thou thy ass these three times? I am come to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse, and contrary to me:
A: igele da ema amane sia: i, “Dia abuliba: le udiana agoane dia dougi fabela: ? Na da dia logo hedofamusa: misi dagoi! Bai di da amodili masunu da defea hame galebe.
33 And unless the ass had turned out of the way, giving place to me who stood against thee, I had slain thee, and she should have lived.
Be dia dougi da na ba: lalu udiana agoane sinidigi. E da agoai hame hamosa ganiaba, na da di fane legela: loba, amola dougi hame fane legela: loba.”
34 Balaam said: I have sinned, not knowing that thou didst stand against me: and now if it displease thee that I go, I will return.
Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Na da wadela: le hamoi dagoi. Di da na logo hedofamusa: logoga lelu, na da hame dawa: i galu. Be di da na bu masunu da defea hame dawa: sea, na da na diasuga buhagimu.”
35 The angel said: Go with these men, and see thou speak no other thing than what I shall command thee. He went therefore with the princes.
Be a: igele da ema amane sia: i, “Di mae buhagili, amo dunu sigi masa. Be na dima adomu liligi fawane sia: ma!” Amaiba: le, Ba: ila: me da Moua: be ouligisu dunu amola bu sigi asi.
36 And when Balac heard it he came forth to meet him in a town of the Moabites, that is situate in the uttermost borders of Arnon.
Ba: ila: ge da Ba: ila: me ea manebe sia: nababeba: le, e da A moilai bai bagade (Anone Hano bega: amola Moua: be soge alalo amoga dialu) amoga Ba: ila: me yosia: musa: asi.
37 And he said to Balaam: I sent messengers to call thee, why didst thou not come immediately to me? was it because I am not able to reward thy coming?
Ba: ila: ge da Ba: ila: mema amane sia: i, “Dia abuliba: le na da musa: misa: ne sia: i amoga hame misibala: ? Dia adi dawa: bela: ? Na da dima bidi defele imunu hamedebela: ?”
38 He answered him: Lo, here I am: shall I have power to speak any other thing but that which God shall put in my mouth?
Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Na da wali misi dagoi! Dafawanela: ? Be na da gasa hamedei. Na da Gode Ea nama sia: i liligi fawane sia: mu, amo fawane gasa gala.”
39 So they went on together, and came into a city, that was in the uttermost borders of his kingdom.
Amalalu, Ba: ila: me amola Ba: ila: ge da Gilia: de Husode moilai amoga asili,
40 And when Balac had killed oxen and sheep, he sent presents to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
Ba: ila: ge da bulamagau amola sibi medole legele, amo ea hu mogili Ba: ila: me amola ouligisu dunu amo ili gilisili moma: ne ema i.
41 And when morning was come, he brought him to the high places of Baal, and he beheld the uttermost part of the people.
Golale, hahabe, Ba: ila: ge da Ba: ila: me amo Ba: imode Ba: ile (gado sogebi) amoga oule asi. Amoga, Ba: ila: me da Isala: ili fi dunu mogili ba: musa: dawa: i.
