Numbers 22
1 After, the children of Israel departed and pitched in the plaine of Moab on the other side of Iorden from Iericho.
Izraelovi otroci so se namerili naprej in se utaborili na moábskih ravninah, na tej strani Jordana, pri Jerihi.
2 Now Balak the sonne of Zippor sawe all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Cipórjev sin Balák je videl vse, kar je Izrael storil Amoréjcem.
3 And the Moabites were sore afraide of the people, because they were many, and Moab fretted against the children of Israel.
Moáb je bil boleče prestrašen ljudstva, ker jih je bilo mnogo in Moáb je bil zaskrbljen zaradi Izraelovih otrok.
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.
Moáb je rekel midjánskim starešinam: »Sedaj bo ta skupina polizala vse, ki so naokoli nas, kakor vol pomuli poljsko travo.« Cipórjev sin Balák je bil ob tistem času kralj Moábcev.
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.
Poslal je torej poslance k Beórjevemu sinu Bileámu v Petór, ki je poleg reke dežele otrok njegovega ljudstva, da ga pokliče, rekoč: »Glej, tam je ljudstvo prišlo iz Egipta. Glej, pokrivajo obličje zemlje in prebivajo nasproti 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.
Pridi torej sedaj, prosim te, prekolni mi to ljudstvo, kajti oni so premogočni zame. Morda bom prevladal, da jih lahko udarimo in da jih lahko napodimo iz dežele, kajti vem, da kogar ti blagosloviš, je blagoslovljen in kogar ti prekolneš, je preklet.«
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.
Moábske starešine in midjánske starešine so odrinili z nagradami vedeževanja v svoji roki in prišli k Bileámu in mu spregovorili Balákove besede.
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.
In ta jim je rekel: »To noč prenočite tukaj in ponovno vam bom prinesel besedo, kakor mi bo Gospod govoril, « in Moábovi princi so ostali z Bileámom.
9 Then God came vnto Balaam, and sayde, What men are these with thee?
Bog je prišel k Bileámu in rekel: »Kakšni možje so tile s teboj?«
10 And Baalam said vnto God, Balak ye sonne of Zippor, king of Moab hath set vnto me, saying,
Bileám je rekel Bogu: »Cipórjev sin Balák, moábski kralj, je poslal k meni, rekoč:
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.
›Glej, tam je prišlo ljudstvo iz Egipta, ki pokriva obličje zemlje. Pridi sedaj, prekolni mi jih. Morda jih bom zmožen premagati in jih pognati ven.‹«
12 And God said vnto Balaam, Go not thou with them, neither curse the people, for they are blessed.
Bog pa je rekel Bileámu: »Ne boš šel z njimi, ne boš preklel ljudstva, kajti blagoslovljeni so.«
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.
Bileám je zjutraj vstal in Balákovim princem rekel: »Pojdite v svojo deželo, kajti Gospod mi odklanja dati dovoljenje, da grem z vami.«
14 So the princes of Moab rose vp, and went vnto Balak, and sayd, Balaam hath refused to come with vs.
Moábski princi so vstali, odšli k Baláku in rekli: »Bileám odklanja, da pride z nami.«
15 Balak yet sent againe moe princes, and more honourable then they.
Balák je ponovno poslal prince, več in častitljivejše od onih.
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.
Prišli so k Bileámu in mu rekli: »Tako govori Cipórjev sin Balák: ›Naj te ničesar, prosim te, ne ovira, da bi prišel 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.
kajti povišal te bom v zelo veliko čast in storil bom kakorkoli mi rečeš. Pridi torej, prosim te, prekolni mi to ljudstvo.‹«
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.
Bileám je odgovoril ter Balákovim služabnikom rekel: »Če bi mi Balák dal svojo hišo, polno srebra in zlata, ne morem iti preko besede od Gospoda, svojega Boga, da storim manj ali več.
19 But nowe, I pray you, tary here this night, that I may wit, what the Lord will say vnto mee more.
Zdaj torej, prosim vas, tudi vi ostanite tukaj to noč, da bom lahko vedel, kaj mi bo še povedal 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.
Bog je ponoči prišel k Bileámu ter mu rekel: »Če pridejo možje, da te pokličejo, vstani in pojdi z njimi, toda reci jim samo besedo, ki ti jo bom jaz rekel, to boš storil.«
21 So Balaam rose vp early, and sadled his asse, and went with the princes of Moab.
Bileám je zjutraj vstal, osedlal svojo oslico in se odpravil k moábskim princem.
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.
Božja jeza je bila vžgana, ker je odšel in Gospodov angel je stal na poti za nasprotnika zoper njega. Torej jahal je na svoji oslici in dva njegova služabnika sta bila z njim.
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.
In oslica je zagledala Gospodovega angela stati na poti in njegov meč je bil izvlečen v njegovi roki in oslica se je obrnila stran iz poti in odšla na polje. Bileám pa je udaril oslico, da jo obrne na pot.
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.
Toda Gospodov angel je stal na stezi vinogradov, zid pa je bil na tej strani in zid na oni strani.
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.
Ko je oslica zagledala Gospodovega angela, se je pritisnila k zidu in Bileámovo stopalo zmečkala ob zid in ta jo je ponovno udaril.
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.
Gospodov angel je šel naprej in stal na ozkem kraju, kjer ni bilo nobene poti, da bi se obrnil k desni roki ali k levi.
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.
Ko je oslica zagledala Gospodovega angela, je pod Bileámom padla dol in Bileámova jeza je bila vžgana in oslico je udaril s palico.
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?
Gospod pa je oslici odprl usta in ta je Bileámu rekla: »Kaj sem ti storila, da si me že trikrat udaril?«
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.
Bileám je rekel oslici: »Ker si me zasmehovala. Če bi bil tukaj, v moji roki meč, bi te sedaj že ubil.«
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.
Oslica pa je Bileámu rekla: »Ali nisem tvoja oslica, na kateri si jahal, odkar sem bila tvoja, do današnjega dne? Sem imela kdaj navado, da ti tako storim?« Rekel je: »Ne.«
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.
Potem je Gospod Bileámu odprl oči in zagledal je Gospodovega angela, stoječega na poti in njegov meč je bil izvlečen v njegovi roki. Sklonil je svojo glavo in padel plosko na svoj obraz.
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.
Gospodov angel mu je rekel: »Zakaj si potem že trikrat udaril svojo oslico? Glej, odšel sem ven, da se ti zoperstavim, ker je tvoja pot sprevržena pred menoj,
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.
oslica pa me je zagledala in se že trikrat obrnila od mene. Razen če se ne bi obrnila od mene, bi te sedaj torej zagotovo ubil, njo pa rešil živo.«
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.
Bileám je rekel Gospodovemu angelu: »Grešil sem, kajti nisem vedel, da zoper mene stojiš na poti. Sedaj torej, če te je to razžalilo, se bom ponovno vrnil nazaj.«
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.
Gospodov angel je Bileámu rekel: »Pojdi z možmi, toda samo besedo, ki ti jo jaz govorim, to boš govoril.« Tako je Bileám odšel z Balákovimi princi.
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.
Ko je Balák slišal, da je Bileám prišel, je odšel ven, da ga pospremi v mesto Moáb, ki je na meji Arnóna, ki je skrajna pokrajina.
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?
Balák je rekel Bileámu: »Ali nisem iskreno poslal k tebi, da te pokličem? Čemu nisi prišel k meni? Mar te zares ne zmorem povišati k časti?«
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.
Bileám je rekel Baláku: »Glej, prišel sem k tebi. Imam zdaj sploh moč, da karkoli povem? Besedo, ki jo Bog polaga v moja usta, to bom govoril.«
39 So Balaam went with Balak, and they came vnto the citie of Huzoth.
Bileám je odšel z Balákom in prišla sta v Kirját Hucót.
40 Then Balak offred bullockes, and sheepe, and sent thereof to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
Balák je daroval vola in ovco in poslal k Bileámu in k princem, ki so bili z 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.
Pripetilo se je naslednji dan, da je Balák vzel Bileáma in ga privedel gor na Báalov visok kraj, da bi od tam lahko videl skrajen del ljudstva.
