Numbers 22
1 After, the children of Israel departed and pitched in the plaine of Moab on the other side of Iorden from Iericho.
Odatle se podigoše sinovi Izrailjevi, i stadoše u oko u polju Moavskom s onu stranu Jordana prema Jerihonu.
2 Now Balak the sonne of Zippor sawe all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
I vidje Valak sin Seforov sve što uèini Izrailj Amoreju,
3 And the Moabites were sore afraide of the people, because they were many, and Moab fretted against the children of Israel.
I uplaši se Moav od naroda veoma; jer ga bješe mnogo, i prituži Moavu od sinova Izrailjevijeh.
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.
Pa reèe Moav starješinama Madijanskim: sada æe ova množina pojesti sve što je oko nas kao vo travu u polju. A Valak sin Seforov bješe u ono vrijeme car Moavski.
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.
I posla poslanike k Valamu sinu Veorovu u Faturu, koja je na rijeci u zemlji naroda njegova, govoreæi: evo narod izide iz Misira, evo prekrilio je zemlju, i stoji prema meni.
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.
Nego hodi, prokuni mi ovaj narod, jer je jaèi od mene, eda bih mu odolio i pobio ga ili istjerao iz zemlje ove; jer znam, koga blagosloviš biæe blagosloven, a koga prokuneš biæe proklet.
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.
I otidoše starješine Moavske i starješine Madijanske noseæi darove za vraèanje; i doðoše k Valamu, i kazaše mu rijeèi Valakove.
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.
A on im reèe: ostanite ovdje ovu noæ, i odgovoriæu vam kako mi Gospod kaže. I ostaše knezovi Moavski kod Valama.
9 Then God came vnto Balaam, and sayde, What men are these with thee?
A Bog doðe k Valamu i reèe mu: kakvi su to ljudi kod tebe?
10 And Baalam said vnto God, Balak ye sonne of Zippor, king of Moab hath set vnto me, saying,
I reèe Valam Bogu: Valak sin Seforov, car Moavski, posla ih k meni govoreæi:
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.
Evo narod izide iz Misira i prekrili zemlju; nego hodi, prokuni mi ga, eda bih ga nadbio i otjerao ga.
12 And God said vnto Balaam, Go not thou with them, neither curse the people, for they are blessed.
A Bog reèe Valamu: ne idi s njima, niti kuni toga naroda, jer je blagosloven.
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.
I ujutru ustavši Valam reèe knezovima Valakovijem: vratite se u svoju zemlju, jer mi ne da Bog da idem s vama.
14 So the princes of Moab rose vp, and went vnto Balak, and sayd, Balaam hath refused to come with vs.
I ustavši knezovi Moavski doðoše k Valaku, i rekoše: ne htje Valam poæi s nama.
15 Balak yet sent againe moe princes, and more honourable then they.
Tada opet posla Valak više knezova i veæe od prvijeh.
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.
I oni došavši k Valamu rekoše mu: ovako veli Valak sin Seforov: nemoj se zatezati, molim te, nego doði k meni.
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.
Jer æu te dobro darivati, i što mi god reèeš èiniæu; zato doði, molim te, prokuni mi ovaj narod.
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.
A Valam odgovori i reèe slugama Valakovijem: da mi da Valak kuæu svoju punu srebra i zlata, ne bih mogao prestupiti rijeèi Gospoda Boga svojega da uèinim što malo ili veliko.
19 But nowe, I pray you, tary here this night, that I may wit, what the Lord will say vnto mee more.
Ali opet ostanite ovdje i vi ovu noæ, da vidim što æe mi sada kazati Gospod.
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.
I doðe Bog noæu k Valamu i reèe mu: kad su došli ti ljudi da te zovu, ustani, idi s njima, ali što ti kažem ono da èiniš.
21 So Balaam rose vp early, and sadled his asse, and went with the princes of Moab.
I ujutru ustavši Valam osamari magaricu svoju, i poðe s knezovima Moavskim.
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.
Ali se razgnjevi Bog što on poðe; i stade anðeo Gospodnji na put da mu ne da; a on sjeðaše na magarici svojoj i imaše sa sobom dva momka svoja.
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 kad magarica vidje anðela Gospodnjega gdje stoji na putu s golijem maèem u ruci, svrnu magarica s puta i poðe preko polja. A Valam je stade biti da je vrati na put.
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.
A anðeo Gospodnji stade na stazu meðu vinogradima, a bijaše zid i odovud i odonud.
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.
I magarica videæi anðela Gospodnjega pribi se uz drugi zid, i pritište nogu Valamovu o zid; a on je stade opet biti.
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.
Potom anðeo Gospodnji otide dalje, i stade u tjesnacu, gdje ne bješe mjesta da se svrne ni nadesno ni nalijevo.
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.
I magarica videæi anðela Gospodnjega pade pod Valamom, a Valam se vrlo razljuti, i stade biti magaricu svojim štapom.
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?
Tada Gospod otvori usta magarici, te ona reèe Valamu: šta sam ti uèinila, te me biješ veæ treæi put?
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 Valam reèe magarici: što mi prkosiš? da imam maè u ruci, sad bih te ubio.
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.
A magarica reèe Valamu: nijesam li tvoja magarica? jašeš me otkako sam postala tvoja do danas; jesam li ti kad tako uèinila? A on reèe: nijesi.
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.
Tada Gospod otvori oèi Valamu, koji ugleda anðela Gospodnjega gdje stoji na putu s golijem maèem u ruci. I on savi glavu i pokloni se licem svojim.
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.
I reèe mu anðeo Gospodnji: zašto si bio magaricu svoju veæ tri puta? evo ja izidoh da ti ne dam, jer tvoj put nije meni po volji.
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.
Kad me ugleda magarica, ona se ukloni ispred mene veæ tri puta; a da se nije uklonila ispred mene, tebe bih veæ ubio a nju bih ostavio u životu.
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.
A Valam reèe anðelu Gospodnjemu: zgriješio sam, jer nijesam znao da ti stojiš preda mnom na putu; ako tebi nije po volji, ja æu se vratiti.
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.
A anðeo Gospodnji reèe Valamu: idi s tijem ljudima, ali samo ono govori što ti ja kažem. Tada Valam otide s knezovima Valakovim.
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 kad èu Valak da ide Valam, izide mu na susret u grad Moavski na meði Arnonskoj nakraj meðe.
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?
I reèe Valak Valamu: nijesam li slao k tebi i zvao te? zašto mi ne doðe? eda li te ne mogu darivati?
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.
A Valam reèe Valaku: evo sam došao k tebi; ali hoæu li moæi što govoriti? Što mi Bog metne u usta, ono æu govoriti.
39 So Balaam went with Balak, and they came vnto the citie of Huzoth.
I otide Valam s Valakom, i doðoše u grad Uzot.
40 Then Balak offred bullockes, and sheepe, and sent thereof to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
I nakla Valak volova i ovaca, i posla Valamu i knezovima, koji bijahu s njim.
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 ujutru uze Valak Valama i odvede ga na visinu Valovu, i odande mu pokaza jedan kraj naroda.
