Numbers 22
1 After, the children of Israel departed and pitched in the plaine of Moab on the other side of Iorden from Iericho.
Na ka turia atu e nga tama a Iharaira, a ka noho ki nga mania o Moapa, ki tenei taha o Horano ki te ritenga atu o Heriko.
2 Now Balak the sonne of Zippor sawe all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
A i kite a Paraka tama a Tiporo i nga mea katoa i mea ai a Iharaira ki nga Amori.
3 And the Moabites were sore afraide of the people, because they were many, and Moab fretted against the children of Israel.
Na nui atu te wehi o Moapa ki te iwi, no te mea he tokomaha: a tuatea noa iho a Moapa i nga tama a Iharaira.
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.
Na ka mea a Moapa ki nga kaumatua o Miriana, Akuanei tenei hui horomiti ai i nga tangata katoa i nga taha katoa o tatou, pera ai me te kau e horomiti nei i te tarutaru o te mara. A ko Paraka tama a Tiporo te kingi o Moapa i taua wa.
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.
Na ka tukua e ia he karere ki a Paraama tama a Peoro ki Petoto, i te taha o te awa, ki te whenua o nga tama o tona iwi, ki te tiki i a ia, hei mea, He iwi tenei kua puta mai i Ihipa, na, kapi ana i a ratou te mata o te whenua; e noho nei ano rato u i toku aroaro:
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.
Na, tena, haere mai hei kaikanga maku i te iwi nei; he kaha ke hoki ratou i ahau: tera pea ka toa ahau, ka patua ratou e matou, a ka peia atu ratou i te whenua: e mohio ana hoki ahau, ko tau e manaaki ai ka manaakitia, ko tau hoki e kanga ai ka k anga.
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.
A ka haere nga kaumatua o Moapa ratou ko nga kaumatua o Miriana me nga utu makutu i o ratou ringa; a ka tae ki a Paraama, a korerotia ana e ratou nga kupu a Paraka.
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.
Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, E noho ki konei i tenei po, a maku e whakahoki he korero ki a koutou, ko ta Ihowa hoki e korero ai ki ahau. Na ka noho nga rangatira o Moapa ki a Paraama.
9 Then God came vnto Balaam, and sayde, What men are these with thee?
Na ka haere te Atua ki a Paraama, ka mea, Ko wai ena tangata i a koe na?
10 And Baalam said vnto God, Balak ye sonne of Zippor, king of Moab hath set vnto me, saying,
A ka mea a Paraama ki te Atua, Kua unga tangata mai a Paraka tama a Tiporo, kingi o Moapa, ki ahau, hei ki mai,
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.
He iwi tenei kua puta mai i Ihipa, a kapi ana i a ratou te mata o te whenua: tena, haere mai hei kaikanga maku i a ratou; tera pea e taea e ahau te whawhai ki a ratou, te pei hoki i a ratou.
12 And God said vnto Balaam, Go not thou with them, neither curse the people, for they are blessed.
Na ka mea te Atua ki a Paraama, Kaua e haere i a ratou; kaua e kanga tena iwi: kua oti hoki ratou te manaaki.
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.
Na ka maranga a Paraama i te ata, ka mea ki nga rangatira a Paraka, Haere ki to koutou whenua: e kore hoki a Ihowa e pai ki te tuku i ahau kia haere i a koutou.
14 So the princes of Moab rose vp, and went vnto Balak, and sayd, Balaam hath refused to come with vs.
Na ka whakatika nga rangatira o Moapa, ka haere ki a Paraka, ka mea, Kihai a Paraama i pai ki te haere tahi mai i a matou.
15 Balak yet sent againe moe princes, and more honourable then they.
Na ka tonoa e Paraka etahi atu rangatira, he tokomaha atu, he nunui atu i era.
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.
A ka tae ratou ki a Paraama, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Paraka tama a Tiporo, kei puritia atu koe e tetahi mea, haere mai ki ahau:
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.
Ka whakanuia rawatia hoki koe e ahau, ka meatia ano e ahau nga mea katoa e mea mai ai koe ki ahau: haere mai ra hei kaikanga maku i tenei iwi.
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.
Na ka utu Paraama, ka mea ki nga tangata a Paraka, Ahakoa i ki tona whare i te hiriwa, i te koura, e homai e Paraka ki ahau, e kore e ahei i ahau te whakawhiti ki ko atu i te kupu a Ihowa, a toku Atua, te mea i te mea iti iho, i te mea nui ake r anei.
19 But nowe, I pray you, tary here this night, that I may wit, what the Lord will say vnto mee more.
Na, e noho ki konei i tenei po, kia mohio ahau ki ta Ihowa e mea mai ai ano ki ahau.
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.
A i puta mai te Atua ki a Paraama i te po, a ka mea ki a ia, Ki te haere mai aua tangata ki te karanga i a koe, whakatika, haere i a ratou: ko te kupu ia e korero ai ahau ki a koe, ko tena tau e mea ai.
21 So Balaam rose vp early, and sadled his asse, and went with the princes of Moab.
Na ka maranga a Paraama i te ata, a whakanohoia ana e ia tana kaihe, a haere ana i nga rangatira o Moapa.
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.
Na ka mura te riri o te Atua mona i haere, a ka tu te anahera a Ihowa ki te ara hei hoariri mona. A i runga ia i tona kaihe e noho ana, ko ana tangata tokorua hoki ona hoa.
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.
A ka kite te kaihe i te anahera a Ihowa e tu ana i te ara, me tana hoari i tona ringa, unu rawa, ka peka atu te kaihe i te ara, a ka haere ki te parae: na ka whiua e Paraama te kaihe kia anga ki te ara.
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.
Katahi ka tu te anahera a Ihowa ki tetahi huarahi whawharua o nga mara waina, he taiepa kei tenei taha, he taiepa hoki kei tera taha.
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.
A, no te kitenga o te kaihe i te anahera a Ihowa, ka whakapiri ki te taiepa, a karapitia ana te waewae o Paraama ki te taiepa: no ka whiua ano e ia.
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.
Na ka neke ano te anahera a Ihowa, a ka tu ki te wahi kuiti, kahore nei he ara hei pekanga ki matau, ki maui.
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.
A, no te kitenga o te kaihe i te anahera a Ihowa, ka takoto ki raro i a Paraama: a ka mura te riri o Paraama, ka patua e ia te kaihe ki tana rakau.
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?
Na ka whakahamumutia e Ihowa te waha o te kaihe, a ka korero ki a Paraama, I aha ahau ki a koe, i toru ai enei patunga au i ahau?
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.
A ka mea a Paraama ki te kaihe, Mo tau maminga ra ki ahau: me he hoari i toku ringa, ina, kua whakamatea koe e ahau inaianei.
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.
Na ka mea ake te kaihe ki a Paraama, Ehara ianei ahau i tau kaihe, i ekengia nei e koe o toku rironga mai ra ano i a koe, a tae noa mai ki tenei ra? he penei ranei taku hanga ki a koe i mua? A ka mea ia, Kahore.
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.
Katahi ka whakatirohia e Ihowa nga kanohi o Paraama, a ka kite ia i te anahera a Ihowa e tu ana i te ara, me tana hoari i tona ringa, unu rawa: na ka tuohu ia, ka piko iho tona mata.
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.
Na a mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a ia, Na te aha enei patunga e toru au i tau kaihe? nana, i puta atu ahau hei hoariri mou, no te mea e peau ke ana tou ara i toku aroaro:
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.
A i kite te kaihe i ahau, e toru ona pekanga ki tahaki i toku aroaro: me i kahore ia te peka atu ki tahaki i toku aroaro, ina, kua patua tenei koe e ahau, a ko ia kua whakaorangia.
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.
Na ka mea a Paraama ki te anahera a Ihowa, Kua hara ahau; noku kihai i mohio ko koe te tu mai ana i te ara ki te whakatutaki i ahau: na ki te he tenei ki tau titiro, me hoki ahau.
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.
Na ka mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a Paraama, Haere i aua tangata: ko te kupu ia e korero ai ahau ki a koe, ko tena anake tau e korero ai. Na ka haere a Paraama i nga rangatira a Paraka.
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.
A, ko rongo a Paraka e tae mai ana a Paraama, ka haere ia ki te whakatau i a ia ki tetahi pa o Moapa i te rohe o Aranona, i te rohe whakamutunga.
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?
A ka mea a Paraka ki a Paraama, Kahore ianei ahau i ata unga ki a koe, ki te karanga i a koe? he aha koe te haere mai ai ki ahau? he pono ranei e kore e ahei i ahau te whakanui i a koe?
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.
Na ka mea a Paraama ki a Paraka, Na, kua tae mai nei ahau ki a koe: e taea ranei e ahau te korero tetahi mea, ahakoa iti? Ko te kupu e homai e te Atua ki toku mangai, ko tena taku e korero ai.
39 So Balaam went with Balak, and they came vnto the citie of Huzoth.
Na ka haere a Paraama i a Paraka, a ka tae raua ki Kiriata Hutoto.
40 Then Balak offred bullockes, and sheepe, and sent thereof to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
Na ka patua he kau, he hipi, e Paraka, a ka unga tangata i a Paraama ratou ko ona hoa, ko nga rangatira.
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.
A i te ata ka mau a Paraka ki a Paraama, a kawea ana e ia ki runga ki nga wahi teitei o Paara, a ka kite atu ia i reira i te hiku o te iwi.
