Numbers 22
1 And they went forward and encamped in the plains of Moab, over against where Jericho is situate beyond the Jordan.
Tad Israēla bērni cēlās un apmetās Moaba klajumos, viņpus Jardānes, Jērikum pretī.
2 And Balac the son of Sephor, seeing all that Israel had done to the Amorrhite,
Kad nu Balaks, Cipora dēls, visu redzēja, ko Israēls bija darījis Amoriešiem,
3 And that the Moabites were in great fear of him, and were not able to sustain his assault,
Tad Moabs ļoti bijās no tiem ļaudīm, jo to bija daudz, un Moabam bija bail no Israēla bērniem.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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:
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 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:
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 What mean these men that are with thee?
Un Dievs nāca pie Bileāma un sacīja: kas tie tādi ļaudis, kas pie tevis?
10 He answered: Balac the son of Sephor king of the Moabites hath sent to me,
Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Dievu: Balaks, Cipora dēls, Moabiešu ķēniņš, pie manis sūtījis
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.
(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: Thou shalt not go with them, nor shalt thou curse the people: because it is blessed.
Tad Dievs sacīja uz Bileāmu: tev nebūs iet ar viņiem, tev nebūs šos ļaudis nolādēt, jo tie ir svētīti.
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.
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 The princes returning, said to Balac: Balaam would not come with us.
Tad Moaba virsnieki cēlās un nāca pie Balaka un sacīja: Bileāms ir liedzies, mums iet līdz.
15 Then he sent many more and more noble than he had sent before:
Un Balaks atkal sūtīja vēl vairāk un jo cienīgus lielkungus.
16 Who, when they were come to Balaam, said: Thus saith Balac the son of Sephor, 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 am ready to honour thee, and will give thee whatsoever thou wilt: come and curse this people.
Jo es tevi augsti godināšu un visu, ko tu man sacīsi, to es darīšu: tad nāc jel, nolād man šos ļaudis.
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.
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 I pray you to stay here this night also, that I may know what the Lord will answer me once more.
Un nu paliekat jel arī šo nakti pie manis, tad es redzēšu, ko Tas Kungs atkal ar mani runās.
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.
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 Balaam arose in the morning, and saddling his ass went with them.
Tad Bileāms cēlās rītā agri un apsedloja savu ēzelieni un gāja tiem Moaba virsniekiem līdz.
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.
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 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,
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 The angel stood in a narrow place between two walls, wherewith the vineyards were enclosed.
Bet Tā Kunga eņģelis nostājās ceļa šaurumā vīna dārzu starpā, kur abējās pusēs bija mūris.
25 And the ass seeing him, thrust herself close to the wall, and bruised the foot of the rider. But he beat 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 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.
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 standing, she fell under the feet of the rider: who being angry beat her sides more vehemently with a 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 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?
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 Balaam answered: Because thou hast deserved it, and hast served me ill: I would I had a sword that I might kill thee.
Un Bileāms sacīja uz to ēzelieni: tāpēc ka tu mani esi kaitinājusi! Kaut zobens būtu manā rokā, es tevi tagad nokautu!
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.
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 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.
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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 it he came forth to meet him in a town of the Moabites, that is situate in the uttermost borders of Arnon.
Kad nu Balaks dzirdēja Bileāmu nākam, tad viņš tam izgāja pretī līdz tai Moabiešu pilsētai, kas ir Arnonas robežās, - pašā robežu malā.
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?
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 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?
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 So they went on together, and came into a city, that was in the uttermost borders of his kingdom.
Un Bileāms gāja Balakam līdz un tie nonāca Kiriat Hucotā.
40 And when Balac had killed oxen and sheep, he sent presents to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
Un Balaks upurēja lielus un sīkus lopus un sūtīja Bileāmam un tiem lielkungiem, kas pie viņa bija.
41 And when morning was come, he brought him to the high places of Baal, and he beheld the uttermost 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.
