Numbers 22
1 And the children of Israel journeyed, and pitched in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.
Te phoeiah Israel ca rhoek te cet uh tih Jerikho kah Jordan rhalvangan phai, Moab kolken ah rhaeh uh.
2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Israel loh Amori taengaha saii boeih te Zippor capa Balakloh a hmuh.
3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many; and Moab was overcome with dread because of the children of Israel.
Israel he khaw muepa ping dongah Moab khaw pilnam mikhmuh ah bakuep. Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Moaba mueipuel.
4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian: 'Now will this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field.' — And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. —
Te dongah Moab loh Midian kah a hamcarhoek taengah, “Vaito loh khohmuen kah baelhinga laem bangla mamih kaepvai kah a cungkuem he hlangpingloh a laem uh pawn ni,” a ti nah. Te vaeng tue ah Moab kah manghai tah Zippor capa Balak ni.
5 And he sent messengers unto Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying: 'Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt; behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me.
Te dongah a pilnam paca rhoek kah khohmuen tuiva kaep kah Pethor Beor capa Balaam taengah puencawna tueih. Anih tea khue tih, “Egypt lamkah aka thoeng pilnam he, diklai hman tea khuk tih kai imdan la kho a sak he.
6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me; peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is 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 with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spoke unto him the words of Balak.
Te dongah Moab kah a hamca neh Midian kah a hamcarhoek khaw, amih kut khuikah bihmarhoekkhaw cet uh. Balaam taenglaa pha uh vaengah a taengah Balak ol te a thui uh.
8 And he said unto them: 'Lodge here this night, and I will bring you back word, as the LORD may speak unto me'; and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
Te vaengah amih te, “Hlaem at khaw pahoi rhaeh uh lamtah BOEIPA loh kai taengaha thui bangla nangmih taengah ol kam mael bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Moab mangpa rhoek tah Balaam taengah om uh.
9 And God came unto Balaam, and said: 'What men are these with thee?'
Te vaengah Pathen loh Balaam tea paan tih, “Na taengkahrhoek he u hlang nim?” a ti nah.
10 And Balaam said unto God: 'Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me saying:
Balaam loh Pathen taengah, “Moab manghai Zippor capa Balak loh kai taengla han tueih.
11 Behold the people that is come out of Egypt, it covereth the face of the earth; now, come curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.'
Egypt lamkah aka pawk pilnam loh diklai hmana 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 unto Balaam: 'Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not 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 up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak: 'Get you into your land; for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.'
Te dongah Balaamte mincang ah thoo tih Balak kah mangparhoek te, “Nangmih taengah kai caeh sak ham khaw BOEIPAloh a aal dongah namah kho la cet uh laeh,” a ti nah.
14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said: 'Balaam refuseth to come with us.'
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 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
Tedae Balak loh amih lakaha yet ngai neh aka lalh ngai mangpa rhoek te a koeitih koepa tueih.
16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him: 'Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor: Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me;
Balaam taenglaa pawk uh vaengah amah te, “Zippor capa Balak loh, 'Kai taenglana lo ham te uelh boeh.
17 for I will promote thee unto very great honour, and whatsoever thou sayest unto me I will do; come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.'
Nangte muep kan thangpom rhoe kan thangpom vetih kai taengahna 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 said unto the servants of Balak: 'If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do any thing, small or great.
Tedae Balaamloh 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 hama coeng moenih, a yita len khaw ngai ham ni.
19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will speak unto me more.'
Te dongah nangmih khaw he ah he hlaem at om uh mai laeh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA loh kai taengah thui hamla mebanga thap khaw ka ming eh?,” a ti nah.
20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him: 'If the men are come to call thee, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak unto thee, that shalt thou do.'
Khoyin ah tah Pathente 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 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
Balaamte mincang ah thoo tih a laak tea khih tih Moab mangparhoek taengla cet.
22 And God's anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of the LORD placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. — Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him. —
Tedae aniha caeh dongah Pathen thintoekte sai. Te dongah BOEIPA puencawn tah anih te longpueng ah khingkhoekkung banglaa pai pah. Te vaengah amahte a laak dongah ngol tih a taengah a tueihyoeih rhoi om.
23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field; and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn tah longpuei ah pai tih a kut dongah a cunghanga yueh te laakloh a hmuh. Te dongah laakte long lamloh hooi uh tih lohma la cet. Te dongah longpuei la mael sak ham Balaam lohlaak tea taam.
24 Then the angel of the LORD stood in a hollow way between the vineyards, a fence being on this side, and a fence on that side.
Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawnte misurdum kah longcaek aha pai pah. He ah khaw vongtung, ke ah khaw vongtung a om pah.
25 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD, and she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall; and he smote her again.
Laak loh BOEIPA kah puencawn tea hmuh vaengah pangbueng tea nen tih Balaam kho te pangbueng dongaha nen thil. Te dongah laaka taam tea khoep.
26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh koepa kan tih banvoei bantang la mael ham la longpuei aka om pawh hmuen aha caek la pai.
27 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD, and she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staff.
Laak loh BOEIPA kah puencawn tea hmuh vaengah Balaam dangaha kol pah. Te vaengah Balaam thintoekte sai tih laak te conghol neha taam.
28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam: 'What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?'
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh laak kah aka tea ong pah tih Balaam te, “Nang taengah balae ka saiitih kai thik thum nan boh,” a ti nah.
29 And Balaam said unto the ass: 'Because thou hast mocked me; I would there were a sword in my hand, for now I had killed 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 ass said unto Balaam: 'Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden all thy life long unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee?' And he 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 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Balaam mik tea phen pah. Te dongah a kut ah a cunghanga pom tih longpuei ah aka pai BOEIPA kah puencawn tea hmuh. Te daengah buluk tih a thintoek neh bakop.
32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him: 'Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I am come forth for an adversary, because thy way is contrary unto me;
BOEIPA kah puencawn loh anih te, “Balae tih na laak te thik thumna boh, ka hmai ah longpueia mueng dongah kai he khingkhoekkung la ka pawk.
33 and the ass saw me, and turned aside before me these three times; unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I had even slain thee, and saved her alive.'
Laak loh kai m'hmuh dongah ka mikhmuh lamloh voei thuma rhael. Ka mikhmuh lamloh rhael pawt koinih nang te khaw kang ngawn pawn vetih anih bueng ka hing sak khaming.
34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD: 'I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me; now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back.'
Balaam loh BOEIPA kah puencawn taengah, “Longpuei ah kai mah ham na pai te ka ming pawt dongah ka tholh coeng. Na mik aha thae oeh atah kai he ka mael voithum mael pawn ni,” a ti nah.
35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam: 'Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak.' So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Balaam te, “Hlangrhoek neh cet lamtah nang taengah ka thui ol te mah thui,” a ti nah. Te dongah Balaam khaw Balak kah mangparhoek taengah cet.
36 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto Ir-moab, which is on the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border.
Balaam halo te Balakloh a yaak van neh khorhi khobawt, Arnon khorhi kah Moab khopuei ah anihte doe hamla cet.
37 And Balak said unto Balaam: 'Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?'
Te vaengah Balak loh Balaam te, “Nang te khue ham nang taengah kan tueih rhoe kan tueih moenih a? Balae tih kai taenglana lo pawh, nang thangpom ham ka coeng tang moenih a?” a ti nah.
38 And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Lo, I am come unto thee; have I now any power at all to speak any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.'
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 dongaha khueh te ka thui eh?,” a ti nah.
39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kiriath-huzoth.
Te phoeiah Balaamte Balak taengah cet tih Kirjathhuzoth la pawk rhoi.
40 And Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent 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 mangparhoek taengaha thak.
41 And it came to pass in the morning that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into Bamoth-baal, and he saw from thence the utmost part of the people.
Mincanga pha vaengah Balak loh Balaam tea loh tih Bamothbaallaa khuen. Te vaengah pilnama bawtnah lamloh pahoi tueng.
