Numbers 22
1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
Eka jo-Israel nowuotho e pewe mag Moab mi gibworo e dho Aora Jordan momanyore gi Jeriko.
2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Balak wuod Zipor noneno gigo duto mane jo-Israel osetimo ni jo-Amor,
3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
kendo Moab ne nigi bwok maduongʼ nikech jogo ne ngʼeny ahinya. Adiera, Moab luoro nomako ahinya nikech jo-Israel.
4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
Jo-Moab nowacho ne jodong Midian niya, “Oganda mangʼenyni biro tieko gimoro amora ma wan-go, mana kaka rwath tieko lum manie pap.” Omiyo Balak wuod Zipor, mane ruodh Moab e kindeno,
5 He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of 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:
nooro joote mondo oluong Balaam wuod Beor, mane ni Pethor but Aora Yufrate, mantiere e piny mane onywole. Balak nowacho kama: “Ogandagi oa Misri; gipongʼo wangʼ piny kendo gidak machiegni koda.
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 wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
Koro bi mondo ikwongʼ jogi, nikech tekregi thoth. Dibed ni bangʼ ma anyalo loyogi mi ariembgi gia e pinyni. Nimar angʼeyo ni joma igwedho ogwedhi, kendo joma ikwongʼo okwongʼ.”
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 spake unto him the words of Balak.
Jodong Moab kod Midian nowuok, ka gikawo chudo mar koro. Kane gichopo ir Balaam, neginyise gima Balak nowacho.
8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Yhwh shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
Balaam nowachonegi niya, “Ninduru ka kawuono kendo abiro miyou dwoko ma Jehova Nyasaye omiya.” Omiyo jotend jo-Moab nobedo kode.
9 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Balaam mopenje niya, “Magi ngʼa gini man kodigi?”
10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
To Balaam nonyiso Nyasaye niya, “Balak wuod Zipor, ma ruodh Moab, noorona ote ni:
11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
‘Joma oa Misri opongʼo wangʼ piny. Koro bi kendo ikwongʼnagi. Dibed ni bangʼe anyalo kedo kodgi mi ariembgi.’”
12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
To Nyasaye nowacho ne Balaam niya, “Kik idhi kodgi. Kik ikwongʼ jogo, nikech gin joma ogwedhi.”
13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for Yhwh refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
Kinyne gokinyi Balaam noa malo mi owachone jotend Balak niya, “Doguru e pinyu, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osedagi weya mondo adhi kodu.”
14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
Omiyo jotend jo-Moab nodok ir Balak mi owacho niya, “Balaam nodagi biro kodwa.”
15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
Eka Balak nooro jotelo mamoko mangʼeny moloyo kendo mongirore moloyo mokwongo ka.
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:
Negidok ir Balaam mi giwachone kama: “Ma e gima Balak wuod Zipor wacho: Kik iwe gimoro amora tami biro ira,
17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
nikech abiro chuli maber kendo timoni gimoro amora miwacho. Bi mondo ikwongʼna ogandani.”
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 Yhwh my God, to do less or more.
To Balaam nodwoko jotij Balak niya, “Kata ne bed ni Balak ne omiya kar dakne mopongʼ gi fedha gi dhahabu, to ok anyal timo gimoro amora maduongʼ kata matin makalo chik mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha.
19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what Yhwh will say unto me more.
Koro ninduru ka otienoni kaka jowadu mamoko ka notimo, mondo abi awinjiane gima nyien ma Jehova Nyasaye biro nyisa kuom wachni.”
20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Balaam otienono mowachone niya, “Nikech jogi obiro luongi, yie idhi kodgi, to kata kamano itim mana gima anyisi.”
21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
Balaam nochiewo gokinyi, moidho pundane kendo nodhi gi jotelo mag Moab.
22 And God’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of Yhwh stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
To mirima nomako Nyasaye ahinya kane odhi, kendo malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nochungʼ e yo mondo ogengʼne. Balaam noidho pundane, kendo jotijene ariyo bende ne ni kode.
23 And the donkey saw the angel of Yhwh standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the donkey turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the donkey, to turn her into the way.
Kane pundano oneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye kochungʼ e chuny yo kotingʼo ligangla e lwete, nobaro oko mar yo modhi e puodho. Balaam nogoye mondo oduog e wangʼ yo.
24 But the angel of Yhwh stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
Eka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nodhi mochungʼ kamoro ma yo dinygo e kind puothe ariyo mag mzabibu kama ochiel gohinga koni gi koni.
25 And when the donkey saw the angel of Yhwh, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
Kane pundano oneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye, nosudo machiegni gohingano moreyo tiend Balaam gohingano. Omiyo nogoyo pundano kendo.
26 And the angel of Yhwh went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
Eka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nosudo nyime mi ochungʼ kama diny maonge thuolo mar lokruok, korachwich kata koracham.
27 And when the donkey saw the angel of Yhwh, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the donkey with a staff.
Kane pundano oneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye, nonindo piny e tiend Balaam, kendo ii Balaam nowangʼ mi ochwade gi luth.
28 And Yhwh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
Eka Jehova Nyasaye noyawo dho pundano, kendo nowacho ne Balaam niya, “En angʼo masetimoni momiyo isegoya nyadidek?”
29 And Balaam said unto the donkey, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
Balaam nodwoko pundano niya, “Isemiya achalo ngʼama ofuwo! Kane bed ni an-gi ligangla e lweta, to dikoro asenegi.”
30 And the donkey said unto Balaam, Am not I thine donkey, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
Pundano nopenjo Balaam niya, “Donge an mana pundani owuon, ma isebedo ka iidho, nyaka kawuononi? Bende iseneno ka an gi kido mar timoni gima chalo kama?” Nodwoke niya, “Ooyo.”
31 Then Yhwh opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of Yhwh standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye noyawo wenge Balaam, mi noneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye kochungʼ e wangʼ yo korieyo ligangla mare. Omiyo nokulore piny kendo nopodho auma e lowo.
32 And the angel of Yhwh said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine donkey these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nopenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo isechwado pundani nyadidek? Abiro mondo agengʼi nikech yoreni obam e nyima.
33 And the donkey saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
Punda nonena nyadidek mobaro oa yo. To ka dine ok obaro, to dine asenegi, to en to aweye odhi.”
34 And Balaam said unto the angel of Yhwh, 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 again.
Balaam nowacho ne malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Asetimo richo. Ne ok angʼeyo nine ichungʼ e wangʼ yo mondo igengʼna. Koro ka ok imor, to abiro dok dala.”
35 And the angel of Yhwh 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.
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Balaam niya, “Dhiyo adhiya gi jogi, to iwach mana gima awachoni.” Omiyo Balaam nodhi gi jodong Balak.
36 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.
Kane Balak owinjo ni Balaam biro, nowuok mondo oromne e dala jo-Moab mokiewo gi aora Arnon, e giko mar pinye.
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?
Balak nowacho ne Balaam niya, “Donge ne aoroni joote mondo ibi ira piyo? Angʼo ma nomoni biro ira? Koso iparo ni ok anyal chuli?”
38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
Balaam nodwoko niya, “Mano ber, eri asebiro. Koso iparo ni anyalo wacho gimoro amora? Ooyo, nyaka awach mana gima Nyasaye oketo e dhoga.”
39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjath–huzoth.
Eka Balaam nodhi gi Balak nyaka Kiriath Huzoth.
40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
Balak nochiwo misango mar dhok kod rombe, kendo nochiwo moko ne Balaam kod jodongo mane ni kode.
41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.
Kinyne gokinyi Balak nokawo Balaam motero Bamoth Baal, kendo kanyo noneno bath oganda.
