Numbers 22
1 After, the children of Israel departed and pitched in the plaine of Moab on the other side of Iorden from Iericho.
Nionjom-beo o ana’Israeleo nitobe an-tanemira’ i Moabe alafe’ Iardene tandrife Ierikò ey.
2 Now Balak the sonne of Zippor sawe all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Ie amy zao hene nioni’ i Balak’ ana’ i Tsipore i nanoe’ Israele amo nte-Emoreoy.
3 And the Moabites were sore afraide of the people, because they were many, and Moab fretted against the children of Israel.
Aa le nirevendreveñe am’ondatio t’i Moabe kanao ninihanìha ty hamaro’e; le nanembetse i Moabe o ana’ Israeleo.
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.
Aa le hoe ty Moabe amo roandria’ i Midianeo, Fonga ho tselà’ i lahialeñey ze mañohoke an-tika manahake ty famelehan’ añombe o ahetse an-kivok’ ey. Mpanjaka’ o nte-Moabeo henane zay t’i Balak’ ana’ i Tsipore.
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.
Le nampisangitrife’e mb’amy Balame ana’ i Beore e Petore añolon-tsaka’ an-tanen-te-Arame añe ty irake hikanjiy aze ami’ty hoe: Inao, nivotrake boake Mitsraime añe t’indaty; hehe t’ie manitsike ty ambone’ ty tane toy vaho mitobe marine ahiko etoa.
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.
Mb’etoa aniany koahe, ozoño ho ahy ondatio, ie manjofake te amako. Hera ho gioheko le ho soiheñe hiakatse an-tane atoy, fa apotako te soa tata o tatae’oo vaho fatran-tane o ozoñe’oo.
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.
Aa le niavotse mb’eo o roandria’ i Moabeo naho o roandria’ i Midianeo reketse ty saram-pamorehañe am-pitàñe vaho niheo mb’amy Balame mb’eo ninday ty nisaontsia’ i Balake.
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.
Le hoe re tam’ iereo, mialeña atoy te anito, le hañerem-bolañ’ ama’ areo iraho, ze ho tsarae’ Iehovà amako. Aa le nialeñe amy Balame ao o roandria’ i Moabeo.
9 Then God came vnto Balaam, and sayde, What men are these with thee?
Niheo mb’amy Balame t’i Andrianañahare nanao ty hoe: Ia ondaty mitraok’ ama’oo?
10 And Baalam said vnto God, Balak ye sonne of Zippor, king of Moab hath set vnto me, saying,
Le hoe t’i Balame aman’ Añahare, Nampañitrike ty saontsy toy amako t’i Balak’ ana’ i Tsipore:
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.
Heheke ondaty hirike Mitsraime añeo: tsitsihe’ iareo ty ambone’ ty tane toy; aa le mb’etoa irehe, ozoño ho ahiko; hera hahalefeako aly vaho haronjeko añe.
12 And God said vnto Balaam, Go not thou with them, neither curse the people, for they are blessed.
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Balame, Tsy hindreza’o fañaveloañe; tsy hozoñe’o ondatio fa soa-tata.
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.
Aa le nitroatse maraiñe t’i Balame nanao ty hoe amo roandria’ i Balàkeo, Mimpolia mb’ an-tane’ areo añe, amy te nifoneñe t’Iehovà tsy nañomey ahy lily hindrezako.
14 So the princes of Moab rose vp, and went vnto Balak, and sayd, Balaam hath refused to come with vs.
Aa le niongake o roandria’ i Moabeo nimpoly mb’ amy Balàke mb’eo, nanao ty hoe: Tsy nimete nindre ama’ay t’i Balame.
15 Balak yet sent againe moe princes, and more honourable then they.
Nañitrik’ ana-donake indraike t’i Balake, ondaty maro naho ambone’ lohàñe te amo teoo.
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.
Aa le niheo mb’ amy Balame mb’eo indaty rey nanao ty hoe, Hoe t’i Balak’ ana’ i Tsipore, Ko anga’o ndra inoñ’ inoñe ty hisebañe azo tsy homb’ amako mb’etoa;
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.
toe ho rengèko vaho hanoeko ze saontsia’o. Aa le miambane ama’o t’ie homb’etoa hañozoñe ondatio ho ahiko.
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.
Le hoe ty natoi’ i Balame amo mpitoro’ i Balakeo, Ndra te natolo’ i Balak’ amako ty anjomba’e pea volafoty naho volamena le tsy mete handilatse ty tsara’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko iraho hanao ndra inoñ’ inoñe ke t’ie bey he kede.
19 But nowe, I pray you, tary here this night, that I may wit, what the Lord will say vnto mee more.
Aa le mialeña amako etoa manahake ty nanoe’ o ila’eo haharendrehako ze tsara hatovo’ Iehovà amako.
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.
Le niheo mb’ amy Balame amy haleñey t’i Andrianañahare nanao ty hoe ama’e, Aa naho nimb’ama’o mb’ atoy ondatio hikanjy azo, miavota naho indrezo; fe ze entañe hatoloko azo avao ty hanoe’o.
21 So Balaam rose vp early, and sadled his asse, and went with the princes of Moab.
Aa le nañaleñaleñe t’i Balame nanampe fitobohañe amy borìke’ey, vaho nitrao-dia amo androanavi’ i Moabeo.
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.
Fe nampamiañe ty haviñeran’ Añahare i fañavelo’ey, vaho nijohañe hikalañe i lala’ey ty Anjeli’ Iehovà, hiatreatrea’e hoe rafelahy. Ie amy zao niningitse borìke naho nindre ama’e ty mpitoro’e roe.
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.
Nahatrea i Anjeli’ Iehovày nijohañe an-dalañe ey reketse fibara natsoak’ am-pità’e i borìkey, le nivioñe amy lalañey i borìkey nitsile mb’an-tetek’ ao, le finofo’ i Balame ty lafa hampibalik’ aze mb’amy lalañey.
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.
Le nijohañe ami’ ty zitse añivo’ ty tanem-bahe roe ey i Anjeli’ Iehovày, ty kijoly etia naho ty kijoly etia.
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.
Ie nitrea’ i borìkey i Anjeli’ Iehovày le nioza amy rindriñey, vaho nanindry ty kitso’ i Balame amy rindriñey, aa le linafa’e indraike.
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.
Nihànkañe aolo ey amy zao i Anjeli’ Iehovày nijohañe añ’ oloñoloñe ey, le tsy eo ty hivioñañe ndra mañavana ndra mañavia.
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.
Naho nizoe’ i borìkey i Anjeli’ Iehovày le nibabok’ ambane’ i Balame eo; tsekak’ amy zao ty haboseha’ i Balame le finofo’e an-kobai’e i borìkey.
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?
Aa le sinoka’ Iehovà ty vava’ i borìkey, vaho hoe re amy Balame, Ino ty nanoeko ama’o kanao linafa’o intelo aniany?
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.
Le hoe t’i Balame amy borìkey, Amy t’ie nanalatse ahy, le nainako te ni-reke-pibara ty tañako henaneo hamonoako azo!
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.
Aa le hoe i borìkey amy Balame, Tsy izaho hao o borìke’oo, i niningira’o amo hene tao’o pake henaneoy? Liliko hao ty manao zao ama’o? Aiy, hoe re.
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.
Aa le nampibeahe’ Iehovà ty fihaino’ i Balame naho niisa’e nijohañe amy lalañey i anjeliy, am-pibara napontsoañe am-pità’e; le nibotreke re nibabok’ an-dahara’e.
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.
Le hoe i Anjeli’ Iehovày ama’e, Inoñe ty nijerà’o i borìke’oy in-telo? Nimb’ atoy iraho am-pirafelahiañe, amy te ihe manao hajangaringaria añatrefako.
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.
Nitrea’ i borìkey iraho le nivioña’e intelo. Aa naho tsy niholiara’e le toe ho nañe-doza ama’o iraho anianikey vaho ho nengako velon-dre.
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.
Le hoe t’i Balame amy Anjeli’ Iehovày, Nanao hakeo iraho fa tsy napotako te nijohañe an-dalañe ey irehe hiatreatre ahy. Aa naho joy ty am-pihano’o le himpoly iraho.
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.
Aa le hoe i Anjeli’ Iehovày amy Balame, Akia, mindreza am’ondaty reo, fe ze entañe volañeko ama’o avao ty ho taroñe’o. Aa le nañavelo nindre lia amy androanavi’ i Balàke rey t’i Balame.
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.
Ie jinanji’ i Balake te fa tsatoke t’i Balame le niavotse mb’e Ire-Moabe mb’amy efe-tane efera’ i Arnoney, ty efe’e lavitse ama’e mb’eo hifanalaka ama’e.
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?
Le hoe t’i Balak’ amy Balame, Aa vaho tsy nimaneako hitrike naho kanjy v’iheo? Ino ty tsy nañaveloa’o mb’amako. Tsy haiko hao ty hiasy azo?
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.
Le hoe t’i Balame amy Balake, Intoy fa ama’o! meteko hao ty hanao ndra inoñ’ inoñe? Tsy mahay tsy ze tsara apon’ Añahare am-bavako ao avao ty ho taroñeko.
39 So Balaam went with Balak, and they came vnto the citie of Huzoth.
Aa le nindre lia amy Balake t’i Balame vaho nipotìtse e Keriat-kozote eo.
40 Then Balak offred bullockes, and sheepe, and sent thereof to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
Nisoroñe añombe naho añondry amy zao t’i Balake vaho nañitrifa’e t’i Balame naho o androanavy nindre ama’eo.
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.
Ie amy maraiñey le nendese’ i Balake nañambone’ i Bamà-Baale t’i Balame, le eo re ro nahatalake ty indra’ ondatio.
