< Numbers 22 >
1 And they went forward and encamped in the plains of Moab, over against where Jericho is situate beyond the Jordan.
Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil guureen, oo waxay degeen bannaanka Moo'aab oo Webi Urdun ka shisheeya oo Yerixoo ka soo hor jeeda.
2 And Balac the son of Sephor, seeing all that Israel had done to the Amorrhite,
Oo Baalaaq ina Sifoor wuxuu arkay kulli wixii ay reer binu Israa'iil ku sameeyeen reer Amor.
3 And that the Moabites were in great fear of him, and were not able to sustain his assault,
Oo reer Moo'aab dadka bay ka cabsadeen, maxaa yeelay, iyagu aad bay u badnaayeen, oo reer Moo'aab aad iyo aad bay u welweleen reer binu Israa'iil aawadood.
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.
Markaasaa reer Moo'aab waxay ku yidhaahdeen odayaashii reer Midyaan, Sida dibi u dhammaysto cawska berrinka ayaa dadkan faraha badanu waxa hareerahayaga ku wareegsan oo dhan u dhammaysanayaan. Oo wakhtigaas waxaa reer Moo'aab boqor u ahaa Baalaaq ina Sifoor.
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.
Oo wargeeyayaal buu u diray Balcaam ina Becoor oo joogay Fetoor oo Webiga ku ag taal oo ah dalkii dadkiisa si ay ugu yeedhaan oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eeg, halkan waxaa jooga dad Masar ka yimid, oo dhulkii oo dhan way qarinayaan, oo waxay deggan yihiin hortayda.
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.
Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye kaalay oo dadkan ii habaar, waayo, way iga xoog badan yihiin, oo mindhaa waan ka adkaanayaa si aannu ugu layno, oo dalka uga erinno, waayo, waan ogahay in kii aad u ducaysaa wuu ducaysan yahay, kii aad habaartaana wuu habaaran yahay.
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:
Markaasaa odayaashii reer Moo'aab iyo odayaashii reer Midyaan waxay gacantooda ku qaadeen abaalgudkii habaaridda, oo waxay u tageen Balcaam, oo isagay kula hadleen erayadii Baalaaq.
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:
Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Caawa halkan ku barya oo anna war dambaan idiinka keenayaa wixii Rabbigu igula hadlo. Markaasay amiirradii reer Moo'aab la hoydeen Balcaam.
9 What mean these men that are with thee?
Markaasaa Ilaah Balcaam u yimid, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War nimanka kula joogaa yay yihiin?
10 He answered: Balac the son of Sephor king of the Moabites hath sent to me,
Markaasaa Balcaam wuxuu Ilaah ku yidhi, Baalaaq ina Sifoor oo ah boqorkii reer Moo'aab ayaa ii soo diray oo yidhi,
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.
Bal eeg, dadka Masar ka yimid waxay qarinayaan dhulka oo dhan, haddaba kaalay oo ii habaar, oo mindhaa waan karayaa inaan iyaga la diriro oo aan eryado.
12 And God said to Balaam: Thou shalt not go with them, nor shalt thou curse the people: because it is blessed.
Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Balcaam ku yidhi, Waa inaanad iyaga raacin, oo waa inaanad dadka habaarin, waayo, iyagu waa barakaysan yihiin.
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.
Aroortii dambe ayaa Balcaam kacay, oo wuxuu amiirradii Baalaaq ku yidhi, Dalkiinnii taga, waayo, Rabbigu fasax buu ii diidaa inaan idin raaco.
14 The princes returning, said to Balac: Balaam would not come with us.
Markaasaa amiirradii reer Moo'aab kaceen, oo Baalaaq u tageen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Balcaam waa diiday inuu na soo raaco.
15 Then he sent many more and more noble than he had sent before:
Oo Baalaaq haddana wuxuu diray amiirro kale oo kuwii hore ka sii badan oo ka sii derejo weyn.
16 Who, when they were come to Balaam, said: Thus saith Balac the son of Sephor, Delay not to come to me:
Oo iyana Balcaam bay u tageen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Baalaaq ina Sifoor wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Waan ku baryayaaye inaad ii timaado yaanay waxba kaa hor joogsan.
17 For I am ready to honour thee, and will give thee whatsoever thou wilt: come and curse this people.
Waxaan ku siinayaa derejo sharaf ah, oo wax alla wixii aad igu tidhaahdona waan samaynayaa. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye kaalay oo dadkan ii habaar.
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.
Markaasaa Balcaam jawaabay, oo wuxuu addoommadii Baalaaq ku yidhi, Haddii Baalaaq i siiyo gurigiisa oo lacag iyo dahab ka buuxo, anigu kama tallaabsan karo erayga Rabbiga Ilaahayga ah inaan sameeyo wax ka yar iyo wax ka badan toona.
19 I pray you to stay here this night also, that I may know what the Lord will answer me once more.
Haddaba waan idin baryayaaye, Bal caawa halkan isaga hoyda, bal aan soo ogaado waxa kaloo Rabbigu igula hadlee.
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.
Oo habeennimadii ayaa Ilaah Balcaam u yimid, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddii nimanku u yimaadeen inay kuu yeedhaan, kac oo iyaga raac; laakiinse waxaad yeeshaa aan kugula hadlo oo keliya.
21 Balaam arose in the morning, and saddling his ass went with them.
Oo subaxdii dambe ayaa Balcaam kacay oo dameertiisii kooraystay, kolkaasuu raacay amiirradii reer Moo'aab.
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.
Oo Ilaah cadhadiisiina way kululaatay, maxaa yeelay, Balcaam baa tegey. Markaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu jidka istaagtay iyadoo cadow ku ah isaga. Haddaba isagu wuxuu iska fuushanaa dameertiisii, oo labadiisii addoonna way la socdeen.
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,
Markaasaa dameertii waxay aragtay malaa'igtii Rabbiga oo jidka taagan oo seefteedii oo galka ka baxsan gacanta ku haysata. Kolkaasay dameertii jidka ka leexatay oo berrinka gashay. Oo Balcaamna dameertii wax buu ku dhuftay si uu jidka ugu soo celiyo.
24 The angel stood in a narrow place between two walls, wherewith the vineyards were enclosed.
Markaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay istaagtay surun beercanabyada ku dhex yaal oo dhankan deyr ka yahay, dhanka kalena deyr ka yahay.
25 And the ass seeing him, thrust herself close to the wall, and bruised the foot of the rider. But he beat her again:
Oo haddana dameertii waxay aragtay malaa'igtii Rabbiga, markaasay derbiga isku jiidday, oo Balcaam cagtiisii ayay derbigii kula qabatay, oo isna haddana wax buu ku dhuftay.
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.
Markaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu hore u sii socotay oo waxay istaagtay meel cidhiidhi ah oo aan meel looga leexdo lahayn midig iyo bidix toona.
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.
Oo haddana dameertii waxay aragtay malaa'igtii Rabbiga, markaasay iska jiifsatay Balcaam hoostiisa, Balcaamna wuu cadhooday, oo dameertii usha ku dhuftay.
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?
Markaasaa Rabbigu afka dameerta furay oo waxay Balcaam ku tidhi, War maxaan kugu sameeyey oo aad saddexdan jeer ii dishay?
29 Balaam answered: Because thou hast deserved it, and hast served me ill: I would I had a sword that I might kill thee.
Markaasaa Balcaam dameertii ku yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, adigu waad igu majaajilootay. Oo weliba waxaan jeclaan lahaa in seefu gacantayda ku jirto, waayo, waan ku dili lahaa hadda.
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.
Markaasaa dameertii Balcaam ku tidhi, War sow ma ahi dameertaadii aad cimrigaaga oo dhan fuuli jirtay ilaa maantadan? Oo miyaan hore sidan oo kale weligay kugu sameeyey? Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Maya.
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.
Kolkaasaa Rabbigu Balcaam indhaha u furay oo wuxuu arkay malaa'igtii Rabbiga oo jidka dhex taagan oo seefteedii oo galka ka baxsan gacanta ku haysata. Markaasuu madaxa foororiyey oo sujuuday.
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:
Kolkaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay isagii ku tidhi, War maxaad dameertaada u dishay saddexdan jeer? Bal eeg, anigu waxaan u soo baxay cadow ahaan, maxaa yeelay, jidkaagu hortayda waa ku qalloocan yahay.
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.
Oo dameertuna anay i aragtay oo saddexdan jeerba hortayday ka leexatay. Oo haddaanay iga leexan, hubaal waan ku dili lahaa, iyadase waan badbaadin lahaa.
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.
Oo Balcaam wuxuu malaa'igtii Rabbiga ku yidhi, Waan dembaabay, waayo, ma aan ogayn inaad jidka taagan tahay adigoo iga gees ah. Haddaba haddii sidaasu ku xumayso, dib baan u noqonayaa.
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.
Markaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu Balcaam ku tidhi, Orod oo nimanka raac; laakiinse hadalkii aan kula hadlo oo keliya waa inaad ku hadashaa. Sidaas daraaddeed Balcaam wuxuu raacay amiirradii Baalaaq soo diray.
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.
Oo Baalaaq markuu maqlay in Balcaam yimid ayuu u baxay inuu isaga ku qaabbilo magaaladii Moo'aab oo ku taal soohdinta Arnoon oo ah soohdinta darafkeeda.
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?
Markaasaa Baalaaq wuxuu Balcaam ku yidhi, War sow degdeg dad kuuguma soo dirin inay kuu yeedhaan? Maxaad iigu iman weyday? Miyaanan awoodin inaan derejo weyn ku siiyo?
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?
Kolkaasaa Balcaam wuxuu Baalaaq ku yidhi, Haddaba waa i kan oo waan kuu imid. War anigu ma waxaan leeyahay awood aan wax kaga hadlo innaba ha ahaatee? Ereygii Ilaah afkayga geliyo ayaan ku hadli doonaa.
39 So they went on together, and came into a city, that was in the uttermost borders of his kingdom.
Markaasaa Balcaam raacay Baalaaq, oo waxay yimaadeen Qiryad Xusood.
40 And when Balac had killed oxen and sheep, he sent presents to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
Markaasaa Baalaaq allabari u bixiyey dibi iyo ido, oo wax buu u diray Balcaam iyo amiirradii isaga la joogay.
41 And when morning was come, he brought him to the high places of Baal, and he beheld the uttermost part of the people.
Oo subaxdii dambe ayaa Baalaaq kaxaystay Balcaam, oo wuxuu keenay meelihii sare oo Bacal, oo halkaas wuxuu ka arkay dadka darafkii ugu shisheeya.
