Numbers 22
1 And they went forward and encamped in the plains of Moab, over against where Jericho is situate beyond the Jordan.
Intultuloy dagiti Israelita ti nagdaliasat agingga a nagkampoda kadagiti patad a lugar ti Moab nga asideg iti Jerico, iti ballasiw ti Karayan Jordan manipud iti siudad.
2 And Balac the son of Sephor, seeing all that Israel had done to the Amorrhite,
Nakita ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor ti amin nga inaramid dagiti Israelita kadagiti Amorreo.
3 And that the Moabites were in great fear of him, and were not able to sustain his assault,
Kasta unay ti buteng ti Moab kadagiti tattao gapu ta aduda, ken nagamak ti Moab kadagiti Israelita.
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.
Kinuna ti ari ti Moab kadagiti panglakayen iti Midianita, “Kanento dagitoy a bunggoy ti amin nga adda iti aglawlawtayo kas panagarab ti baka iti ruroot iti talon.” Ita, ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor ket isu ti ari ti Moab iti dayta a tiempo.
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.
Nangibaon ni Balak kadagiti mensahero kenni Balaam nga anak ni Beor, idiay Petor nga asideg iti Karayan Eufrates, iti daga ti nasionna ken tattaona. Inayabanna ni Balaam ket kinunana, “Kitaem, ummay ditoy ti maysa a nasion a naggapu idiay Egipto. Kalkalubanda ti rupa ti daga ket addadan ita iti asidegko.
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.
Isu a pangngaasim ta umayka itan ket ilunodmo daytoy a nasion para kaniak, gapu ta napigsada unay para kaniak. Nalabit a kabaelakton ida a darupen ken patalawen manipud iti daga. Ammok a mabendisionanto ti siasinoman a bendisionam, ken mailunodto ti siasinoman nga ilunodmo.”
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:
Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti panglakayen iti Moabita ken dagiti panglakayen dagiti Midianita nga awit-awitda ti bayad iti panangilunod. Dimtengda iti ayan ni Balaam ket imbagada kenkuana dagiti sasao ni Balak.
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:
Kinuna ni Balaam kadakuada, “Umiankayo ditoy ita a rabii. Ibagakto kadakayo ti ibaga ni Yahweh kaniak.” Immian ngarud dagiti pangulo iti Moabita iti ayan ni Balaam ti dayta a rabii.
9 What mean these men that are with thee?
Immay ti Dios kenni Balaam ket kinunana, “Siasino dagitoy a lallaki nga immay kenka?”
10 He answered: Balac the son of Sephor king of the Moabites hath sent to me,
Simmungbat ni Balaam iti Dios, “Imbaon ida kaniak ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor, ti ari iti Moab. Kinunana,
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.
“Kitaem, dagiti tattao a naggapu iti Egipto ket kinalubanda ti rabaw ti dagak. Umayka itan ket ilunodmo ida para kaniak. Nalabit a kabaelakto a karanget ida ken mapatalawko ida,'”
12 And God said to Balaam: Thou shalt not go with them, nor shalt thou curse the people: because it is blessed.
Insungbat ti Dios kenni Balaam, “Saan a rumbeng a sumurotka kadagitoy a lallaki. Saan a rumbeng nga ilunodmo dagiti Israelita gapu ta nabendisionandan.”
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.
Bimmangon ni Balaam iti bigat ket kinunana kadagiti papangulo ni Balak, “Agsublikayon iti dagayo gapu ta saan nga impalubos ni Yahweh a sumurotak kadakayo.”
14 The princes returning, said to Balac: Balaam would not come with us.
Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti papangulo ti Moab ket nagsublida kenni Balak. Kinunada, “Nagkedked ni Balaam a sumurot kadakami.”
15 Then he sent many more and more noble than he had sent before:
Nangibaon manen ni Balak iti ad-adu a papangulo nga ad-adda a mararaem ngem kadagiti immuna a bunggoy.
16 Who, when they were come to Balaam, said: Thus saith Balac the son of Sephor, Delay not to come to me:
Dimtengda iti ayan ni Balaam ket kinunada kenkuana, “Ibagbaga daytoy ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor, “Pangngaasim ta saanmo nga ipalubos nga adda makalapped kenka iti iyaaymo kaniak,
17 For I am ready to honour thee, and will give thee whatsoever thou wilt: come and curse this people.
gapu ta bayadanka iti nawadwad ken raemenka iti kasta unay, ken aramidek ti aniaman nga ibagam kaniak. Isu a pangngaasim ta umayka ket ilunodmo dagitoy a tattao para kaniak.'”
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.
Simmungbat ni Balaam ket kinunana kadagiti tattao ni Balak, “Uray no ited kaniak ni Balak ti palasiona a napnoan iti pirak ken balitok, saan a mabalin nga un-unaak ti sao ni Yahweh a Diosko, ken aramiden ti kabassitan ken kadakkelan a banag ngem iti ibagbagana kaniak.
19 I pray you to stay here this night also, that I may know what the Lord will answer me once more.
Ita ngarud, aguraykayo met ditoy ita a rabii, tapno maammoak ti aniaman a mainayon nga ibaga ni Yahweh kaniak.”
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.
Immay ti Dios kenni Balaam iti dayta a rabii ket kinunana kenkuana, “Agsipud ta immay dagitoy a lallaki a mangay-ayab kenka, agrubwatka ket sumurotka kadakuada. Ngem aramidem laeng ti ibagak kenka.”
21 Balaam arose in the morning, and saddling his ass went with them.
Bimmangon ni Balaam iti agsapa, sinilyaanna ti asnona, ket kimmuyog kadagiti pangulo ti Moab.
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.
Ngem gapu ta napan isuna, nariing ti pungtot ti Dios. Nagtakder ti anghel ni Yahweh iti dalan tapno lapdanna ni Balaam a sisasakay iti asnona. Kadua met ni Balaam dagiti dua nga adipenna.
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,
Nakita ti asno ti anghel ni Yahweh nga agtaktakder iti kalsada nga iggemna ti kampilanna. Simmina iti kalsada ti asno ket nagturong iti kataltalonan. Sinaplitan ni Balaam ti asno tapno agsubli daytoy iti kalsada.
24 The angel stood in a narrow place between two walls, wherewith the vineyards were enclosed.
Ket nagtakder manen ti anghel ni Yahweh iti nailet a paset ti kalsada a nagbaetan dagiti kaubasan, nga adda bakud iti makannawanna kasta met iti makannigidna.
25 And the ass seeing him, thrust herself close to the wall, and bruised the foot of the rider. But he beat her again:
Nakita manen ti asno ti anghel ni Yahweh. Impilitna ti lumsot iti bakud ket naipit ti saka ni Balaam. Sinaplitan manen ni Balaam ti asno.
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.
Immun-una ti anghel ni Yahweh ket timmakder iti sabali pay a nailet a disso nga awanen ti dalan a mabalin a paglusotan.
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.
Nakita ti asno ti anghel ni Yahweh, ket inyiddanan a sisasakay pay laeng ni Balaam kenkuana. Ad-adda a nagpungtot ni Balaam, ket imbaotna ti bastonna iti asno.
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?
Ket linukatan ni Yahweh ti ngiwat ti asno tapno makasao daytoy. Kinunana kenni Balaam, “Ania ti inaramidko kenka tapno ablatannak iti mamitlo a daras?”
29 Balaam answered: Because thou hast deserved it, and hast served me ill: I would I had a sword that I might kill thee.
Simmungbat ni Balaam iti asno, “Gapu ta pagbalbalinennak a maag. Adda la koma kampilan iti imak. Ta no adda, napatayka koma itan.”
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.
Kinuna ti asno kenni Balaam, “Saan kadi a siak ti asnom a sinaksakayam iti las-ud iti panagbiagmo inggana ita? Adda kadin inaramidko a kastoy idi?” “Awan,” kinuna ni Balaam.
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.
Kalpasanna, linukatan ni Yahweh ti mata ni Balaam, ket nakitana ti anghel ni Yahweh a sitaktakder iti kalsada nga adda iggemna a kampilan. Nagdumog ni Balaam ket nagpakleb isuna.
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:
Kinuna ti anghel ni Yahweh kenkuana. “Apay a sinaplitam ti asnom iti namitlo? Kitaem, immayak a manglapped kenka gapu ta dakes iti imatangko ti ar-aramidem.
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.
Nakitanak ti asno ket linisiannak iti namitlo a daras. No saannak a linisian, napatayka koma ket naispal ti biagna.”
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.
Kinuna ni Balaam iti anghel ni Yahweh, “Nagbasolak. Saanko nga ammo nga agtaktakderka iti kalsada a manglaplapped kaniak. Ita ngarud, no saan a makaay-ayo kenka daytoy a panagdaliasatko, agsubliak iti naggapuak.”
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.
Ngem kinuna ti anghel ni Yahweh kenni Balaam, “Kumuyogka latta kadagiti lallaki. Ngem masapul a dagiti sasao laeng nga ibagak kenka ti ibagam.” Simmurot ngarud ni Balaam kadagiti papangulo ni Balak.
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.
Idi nadamag ni Balak a paumayen ni Balaam, rimmuar isuna tapno sabtenna ni Balaam iti siudad ti Moab idiay Arnon nga adda iti nagbeddengan.
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?
Kinuna ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Saan kadi a nangibaonak kadagiti lallaki a mangayab kenka? Apay a saanka nga immay kaniak? Saanko kadi a kabaelan a raemenka?”
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?
Ket simmungbat ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Kitaem, addaakon iti ayanmo. Adda kadin kalintegak nga agsao iti aniaman a banag? Ti laeng maibagak ket dagiti sasao ti Dios nga ikabkabilna iti ngiwatko.”
39 So they went on together, and came into a city, that was in the uttermost borders of his kingdom.
Simmurot ni Balaam kenni Balak, ket nakadanonda idiay Kiriat Husot.
40 And when Balac had killed oxen and sheep, he sent presents to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
Kalpasanna, nangidaton ni Balak iti baka ken karnero ket nangted isuna iti sumagmamano a karne kenni Balaam ken kadagiti pangulo a kakaduana.
41 And when morning was come, he brought him to the high places of Baal, and he beheld the uttermost part of the people.
Kabigatanna, inkuyog ni Balak ni Balaam a simmang-at idiay Bamot Baal. Manipud sadiay, dagiti laeng bassit a paset ti kampo dagiti Israelita ti nakita ni Balaam.
