Numbers 22
1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
Odatle se podigoše sinovi Izrailjevi, i stadoše u oko u polju Moavskom s onu stranu Jordana prema Jerihonu.
2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
I vidje Valak sin Seforov sve što uèini Izrailj Amoreju,
3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
I uplaši se Moav od naroda veoma; jer ga bješe mnogo, i prituži Moavu od sinova Izrailjevijeh.
4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak the son 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 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 opposite to 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 you, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: possibly I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is 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 with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spoke unto him the words of Balak.
I otidoše starješine Moavske i starješine Madijanske noseæi darove za vraèanje; i doðoše k Valamu, i kazaše mu rijeèi Valakove.
8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and 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 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with you?
A Bog doðe k Valamu i reèe mu: kakvi su to ljudi kod tebe?
10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent unto me, saying,
I reèe Valam Bogu: Valak sin Seforov, car Moavski, posla ih k meni govoreæi:
11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covers the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; possibly I shall be able to overcome them, and drive 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 unto Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall not 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 up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuses to give me leave 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 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuses to come with us.
I ustavši knezovi Moavski doðoše k Valaku, i rekoše: ne htje Valam poæi s nama.
15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
Tada opet posla Valak više knezova i veæe od prvijeh.
16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray you, hinder you from coming unto 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 will promote you unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever you say unto me: come therefore, I pray you, 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 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 less 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 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry all of you also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
Ali opet ostanite ovdje i vi ovu noæ, da vidim što æe mi sada kazati Gospod.
20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call you, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto you, that shall you do.
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 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
I ujutru ustavši Valam osamari magaricu svoju, i poðe s knezovima Moavskim.
22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants 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 the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam stroke the ass, to turn 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 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
A anðeo Gospodnji stade na stazu meðu vinogradima, a bijaše zid i odovud i odonud.
25 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he stroke her again.
I magarica videæi anðela Gospodnjega pribi se uz drugi zid, i pritište nogu Valamovu o zid; a on je stade opet biti.
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.
Potom anðeo Gospodnji otide dalje, i stade u tjesnacu, gdje ne bješe mjesta da se svrne ni nadesno ni nalijevo.
27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he stroke the ass with a staff.
I magarica videæi anðela Gospodnjega pade pod Valamom, a Valam se vrlo razljuti, i stade biti magaricu svojim štapom.
28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto you, that you have smitten me these three times?
Tada Gospod otvori usta magarici, te ona reèe Valamu: šta sam ti uèinila, te me biješ veæ treæi put?
29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because you have mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill you.
A Valam reèe magarici: što mi prkosiš? da imam maè u ruci, sad bih te ubio.
30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I your ass, upon which you have ridden ever since I was your unto this day? was I ever known to do so unto you? And he 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 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, 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 unto him, Wherefore have you smitten your ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand you, because your way is perverse 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 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain you, and saved her alive.
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 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that you stood in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease you, I will get me back again.
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 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto you, that you shall speak. So Balaam went with the 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 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.
A kad èu Valak da ide Valam, izide mu na susret u grad Moavski na meði Arnonskoj nakraj meðe.
37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto you to call you? wherefore came you not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote you to 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 said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto you: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.
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 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
I otide Valam s Valakom, i doðoše u grad Uzot.
40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent 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 it came to pass on the next day, 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.
A ujutru uze Valak Valama i odvede ga na visinu Valovu, i odande mu pokaza jedan kraj naroda.
