Numbers 22
1 After, the children of Israel departed and pitched in the plaine of Moab on the other side of Iorden from Iericho.
Te phoeiah Israel ca rhoek te cet uh tih Jerikho kah Jordan rhalvangan phai, Moab kolken ah rhaeh uh.
2 Now Balak the sonne of Zippor sawe all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Israel loh Amori taengah a saii boeih te Zippor capa Balak loh a hmuh.
3 And the Moabites were sore afraide of the people, because they were many, and Moab fretted against the children of Israel.
Israel he khaw muep a ping dongah Moab khaw pilnam mikhmuh ah bakuep. Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Moab a mueipuel.
4 Therfore Moab said vnto the Elders of Midian, Nowe shall this multitude licke vp all that are round about vs, as an oxe licketh vp ye grasse of the fielde: and Balak the sonne of Zippor was King of the Moabites at that time.
Te dongah Moab loh Midian kah a hamca rhoek taengah, “Vaito loh khohmuen kah baelhing a laem bangla mamih kaepvai kah a cungkuem he hlangping loh a laem uh pawn ni,” a ti nah. Te vaeng tue ah Moab kah manghai tah Zippor capa Balak ni.
5 Hee sent messengers therefore vnto Balaam the sonne of Beor to Pethor (which is by the riuer of the lande of the children of his folke) to call him, saying, Beholde, there is a people come out of Egypt, which couer the face of the earth, and lye ouer against me.
Te dongah a pilnam paca rhoek kah khohmuen tuiva kaep kah Pethor Beor capa Balaam taengah puencawn a tueih. Anih te a khue tih, “Egypt lamkah aka thoeng pilnam he, diklai hman te a khuk tih kai imdan la kho a sak he.
6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, and curse me this people (for they are stronger then I) so it may be that I shall be able to smite them, and to driue them out of the land: for I knowe that hee, whome thou blessest, is blessed, and he whom thou cursest, shall be cursed.
Te dongah halo lamtah he pilnam he kai lakah tah a tlung oeh dongah kai yueng la thaephoei thil mai laeh. Anih ngawn ham neh khohmuen lamloh anih ka haek thai khaming. Yoethen na paek hlang te a yoethen tih thae na phoei thil te tah thaephoei a yook te ka ming,” a ti nah.
7 And the Elders of Moab, and the Elders of Midian departed, hauing the reward of the soothsaying in their hande, and they came vnto Balaam, and tolde him the wordes of Balak.
Te dongah Moab kah a hamca neh Midian kah a hamca rhoek khaw, amih kut khuikah bihma rhoek khaw cet uh. Balaam taengla a pha uh vaengah a taengah Balak ol te a thui uh.
8 Who answered them, Tary here this night, and I will giue you an answere, as the Lord shall say vnto mee. So the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
Te vaengah amih te, “Hlaem at khaw pahoi rhaeh uh lamtah BOEIPA loh kai taengah a thui bangla nangmih taengah ol kam mael bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Moab mangpa rhoek tah Balaam taengah om uh.
9 Then God came vnto Balaam, and sayde, What men are these with thee?
Te vaengah Pathen loh Balaam te a paan tih, “Na taengkah rhoek he u hlang nim?” a ti nah.
10 And Baalam said vnto God, Balak ye sonne of Zippor, king of Moab hath set vnto me, saying,
Balaam loh Pathen taengah, “Moab manghai Zippor capa Balak loh kai taengla han tueih.
11 Beholde, there is a people come out of Egypt and couereth the face of the earth: come nowe, curse them for my sake: so it may be that I shalbe able to ouercome them in battell, and to driue them out.
Egypt lamkah aka pawk pilnam loh diklai hman a khuk coeng ke. Te dongah halo anih te kai yueng la tap laeh. Anih tloek ham neh anih haek ham a coeng khaming,” a ti nah.
12 And God said vnto Balaam, Go not thou with them, neither curse the people, for they are blessed.
Pathen loh Balaam te, “Amih taengah cet boeh, pilnam te a yoethen coeng tih thaephoei boeh,” a ti nah.
13 And Balaam rose vp in the morning, and sayde vnto ye princes of Balak, Returne vnto your land: for the Lord hath refused to giue me leaue to go with you.
Te dongah Balaam te mincang ah thoo tih Balak kah mangpa rhoek te, “Nangmih taengah kai caeh sak ham khaw BOEIPA loh a aal dongah namah kho la cet uh laeh,” a ti nah.
14 So the princes of Moab rose vp, and went vnto Balak, and sayd, Balaam hath refused to come with vs.
Te dongah Moab mangpa rhoek tah thoo uh tih Balak taengla pawk uh. Te vaengah, “Balaam loh kaimih taengah lo ham a aal,” a ti nah.
15 Balak yet sent againe moe princes, and more honourable then they.
Tedae Balak loh amih lakah a yet ngai neh aka lalh ngai mangpa rhoek te a koei tih koep a tueih.
16 Who came to Balaam, and sayde to him, Thus saith Balak the sonne of Zippor, Bee not thou staied, I pray thee, from comming vnto me.
Balaam taengla a pawk uh vaengah amah te, “Zippor capa Balak loh, 'Kai taengla na lo ham te uelh boeh.
17 For I wil promote thee vnto great honour, and wil do whatsoeuer thou sayest vnto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
Nang te muep kan thangpom rhoe kan thangpom vetih kai taengah na thui boeih te ka ngai bitni. Te dongah halo lamtah he pilnam he kai yueng la tap mai,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
18 And Balaam answered, and sayde vnto the seruants of Balak, If Balak woulde giue me his house full of siluer and golde, I can not goe beyonde the worde of the Lord my God, to doe lesse or more.
Tedae Balaam loh a doo tih Balak kah sal taengah, “Kai he Balak loh a im kah a bae la cak neh sui m'pae cakhaw Ka Pathen BOEIPA kah olka tah ka poe ham a coeng moenih, a yit a len khaw ngai ham ni.
19 But nowe, I pray you, tary here this night, that I may wit, what the Lord will say vnto mee more.
Te dongah nangmih khaw he ah he hlaem at om uh mai laeh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA loh kai taengah thui hamla mebang a thap khaw ka ming eh?,” a ti nah.
20 And God came vnto Balaam by night, and sayd vnto him, If the men come to call thee, rise vp, and goe with them: but onely what thing I say vnto thee, that shalt thou doe.
Khoyin ah tah Pathen te Balaam taengla cet tih amah te, “Nang te khue ham hlang rhoek ha pawk atah thoo lamtah amih neh cet. Tedae nang taengah kanthui ol mah ngai,” a ti nah.
21 So Balaam rose vp early, and sadled his asse, and went with the princes of Moab.
Balaam te mincang ah thoo tih a laak te a khih tih Moab mangpa rhoek taengla cet.
22 And ye wrath of God was kindled, because he went: and the Angel of the Lord stood in the way to be against him, as he rode vpon his asse, and his two seruants were with him.
Tedae anih a caeh dongah Pathen thintoek te sai. Te dongah BOEIPA puencawn tah anih te longpueng ah khingkhoekkung bangla a pai pah. Te vaengah amah te a laak dongah ngol tih a taengah a tueihyoeih rhoi om.
23 And when the asse saw the Angel of the Lord stand in the way, and his sworde drawen in his hand, the asse turned out of the way and went into the field, but Balaam smote the asse, to turne her into the way.
Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn tah longpuei ah pai tih a kut dongah a cunghang a yueh te laak loh a hmuh. Te dongah laak te long lamloh hooi uh tih lohma la cet. Te dongah longpuei la mael sak ham Balaam lohlaak te a taam.
24 Againe the Angel of the Lord stood in a path of the vineyardes, hauing a wall on the one side, and a wall on the other.
Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn te misurdum kah longcaek ah a pai pah. He ah khaw vongtung, ke ah khaw vongtung a om pah.
25 And when the asse sawe the Angel of the Lord, she thrust her selfe vnto the wall, and dasht Balaams foote against the wall: wherefore hee smote her againe.
Laak loh BOEIPA kah puencawn te a hmuh vaengah pangbueng te a nen tih Balaam kho te pangbueng dongah a nen thil. Te dongah laak a taam te a khoep.
26 Then the Angel of the Lord went further, and stoode in a narowe place, where was no way to turne, either to the right hand, or to the left.
Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh koep a kan tih banvoei bantang la mael ham la longpuei aka om pawh hmuen ah a caek la pai.
27 And when the asse sawe the Angell of the Lord, she lay downe vnder Balaam: therefore Balaam was very wroth, and smote the asse with a staffe.
Laak loh BOEIPA kah puencawn te a hmuh vaengah Balaam dangah a kol pah. Te vaengah Balaam thintoek te sai tih laak te conghol neh a taam.
28 Then the Lord opened the mouth of the asse, and she saide vnto Balaam, What haue I done vnto thee, that thou hast smitten me nowe three times?
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh laak kah aka te a ong pah tih Balaam te, “Nang taengah balae ka saii tih kai thik thum nan boh,” a ti nah.
29 And Balaam saide vnto the asse, Because thou hast mocked me: I woulde there were a sworde in mine hand, for nowe would I kill thee.
Balaam loh laak te, “Kai he nan poelyoe dongah he, ka kut ah cunghang om vetih nang kang ngawn laeh mako,” a ti nah.
30 And the asse saide vnto Balaam, Am not I thine asse, which thou hast ridden vpon since thy first time vnto this day? haue I vsed at any time to doe thus vnto thee? Who said, Nay.
Laak loh Balaam te, “Kai he nang kah laak moenih a? Kai soah he tahae khohnin due koep na ngol, he he nang taengah saii ham ka hmaiben khaw ka hmaiben nim?,” a ti vaengah, “Pawh,” a ti nah.
31 And the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he sawe the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with his sword drawen in his hande: then he bowed him selfe, and fell flat on his face.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Balaam mik te a phen pah. Te dongah a kut ah a cunghang a pom tih longpuei ah aka pai BOEIPA kah puencawn te a hmuh. Te daengah buluk tih a thintoek neh bakop.
32 And the Angel of the Lord said vnto him, Wherefore hast thou nowe smitten thine asse three times? beholde, I came out to withstande thee, because thy way is not straight before me.
BOEIPA kah puencawn loh anih te, “Balae tih na laak te thik thum na boh, ka hmai ah longpuei a mueng dongah kai he khingkhoekkung la ka pawk.
33 But the asse sawe me, and turned from me now three times: for els, if she had not turned from me, surely I had euen nowe slaine thee, and saued her aliue.
Laak loh kai m'hmuh dongah ka mikhmuh lamloh voei thum a rhael. Ka mikhmuh lamloh rhael pawt koinih nang te khaw kang ngawn pawn vetih anih bueng ka hing sak khaming.
34 Then Balaam saide vnto the Angel of the Lord, I haue sinned: for I wist not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore if it displease thee, I will turne home againe.
Balaam loh BOEIPA kah puencawn taengah, “Longpuei ah kai mah ham na pai te ka ming pawt dongah ka tholh coeng. Na mik ah a thae oeh atah kai he ka mael voithum mael pawn ni,” a ti nah.
35 But the Angel said vnto Balaam, Go with the men: but what I say vnto thee, that shalt thou speake. So Balaam went with ye princes of Balak.
BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Balaam te, “Hlang rhoek neh cet lamtah nang taengah ka thui ol te mah thui,” a ti nah. Te dongah Balaam khaw Balak kah mangpa rhoek taengah cet.
36 And when Balak heard that Balaam came, he went out to meete him vnto a citie of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, euen in the vtmost coast.
Balaam halo te Balak loh a yaak van neh khorhi khobawt, Arnon khorhi kah Moab khopuei ah anih te doe hamla cet.
37 Then Balak saide vnto Balaam, Did I not sende for thee to call thee? Wherefore camest thou not vnto me? am I not able in deede to promote thee vnto honour?
Te vaengah Balak loh Balaam te, “Nang te khue ham nang taengah kan tueih rhoe kan tueih moenih a? Balae tih kai taengla na lo pawh, nang thangpom ham ka coeng tang moenih a?” a ti nah.
38 And Balaam made answere vnto Balak, Lo, I am come vnto thee, and can I nowe say any thing at all? the worde that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speake.
Balaam loh Balak te, “Nang taengla ka pawk coeng he, ol pakhat khaw thui ham ka coeng khaw ka coeng venim? Pathen loh ka ka dongah a khueh te ka thui eh?,” a ti nah.
39 So Balaam went with Balak, and they came vnto the citie of Huzoth.
Te phoeiah Balaam te Balak taengah cet tih Kirjathhuzoth la pawk rhoi.
40 Then Balak offred bullockes, and sheepe, and sent thereof to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
Te vaengah Balak loh saelhung neh boiva khaw a ngawn tih Balaam taeng neh amah taengkah mangpa rhoek taengah a thak.
41 And on the morowe Balak tooke Balaam, and brought him vp into the hie places of Baal, that thence hee might see the vtmost part of the people.
Mincang a pha vaengah Balak loh Balaam te a loh tih Bamothbaal la a khuen. Te vaengah pilnam a bawtnah lamloh pahoi tueng.
