Numbers 22
1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan [by] Jericho.
И воздвигшеся сынове Израилтестии, ополчишася на запады Моава у Иордана ко Иерихону.
2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
И видев Валак сын Сепфоров вся, елика сотвори Израиль Аморрею,
3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they [were] many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
и убояся Моав людий зело, яко мнози бяху, и оскорбе Моав от лица сынов Израилевых,
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.
и рече Моав старейшинам Мадиамлим: ныне потребит сонм сей всех, иже окрест нас, якоже потребляет телец злак на поли. И Валак, сын Сепфоров, бяше царь Моавль в то время,
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:
и посла послы к Валааму, сыну Веорову, во Фафуру яже есть у реки земли сынов людий его, призвати его, глаголя: се, людие изыдоша из Египта, и се, покрыша лице земли, и сии седят при одержании моем:
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.
и ныне прииди, проклени мне люди сия, понеже крепльшии суть паче нас, аше возможем сих избити, и изжену их из земли: яко вем, ихже аще благословиши ты, благословени суть, и ихже аще прокленеши ты, прокляти.
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.
И идоша старейшины Моавли и старейшины Мадиамли, и волхвования в руках их: и приидоша к Валааму и глаголаша ему словеса Валакова.
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.
И рече к ним: препочийте зде нощь (сию), и отвещаю вам деяния, яже аще возглаголет Господь ко мне. И пребыша князи Моавли у Валаама.
9 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men [are] these with thee?
И прииде Бог к Валааму и рече ему: что человецы сии у тебе?
10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, [saying],
И рече Валаам к Богу: Валак сын Сепфоров, царь Моавль, посла их ко мне, глаголя:
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.
се, людие изыдоша из Египта и покрыша лице земли, и сии седят при одержании моем: и ныне прииди, проклени ми их, негли возмогу избити их и изгнати я от земли.
12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they [are] blessed.
И рече Бог к Валааму: да не идеши с ними, ниже да кленеши людий: суть бо благословени.
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.
И востав Валаам заутра, рече князем Валаковым: возвратитеся к господину своему: не попущает ми Бог ити с вами.
14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
И воставше князи Моавли приидоша к Валаку и рекоша ему: не хощет Валаам приити с нами.
15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
И приложи Валак еще послати князи множайшии и честнейшии сих.
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:
И приидоша к Валааму и глаголаша ему: сия глаголет Валак, сын Сепфоров: молю тя, не обленися приити ко мне:
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.
честне бо тя почту, и вся, елика аще речеши ми, сотворю тебе: и прииди, и проклени ми люди сия.
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.
И отвеща Валаам и рече князем Валаковым: аще ми даст Валак полну храмину свою злата и сребра, не могу преступити слова Господа Бога, еже сотворити то мало или велико в разуме моем:
19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
и ныне потерпите зде и вы нощь сию, и увем, что приложит Господь глаголати ко мне.
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.
И прииде Бог к Валааму нощию и рече ему: аще звати тя приидоша человецы сии, востав иди вслед их, но слово, еже аше реку тебе, то да сотвориши.
21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
И востав Валаам заутра, оседла осля свое и иде со князи Моавли.
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.
И разгневася яростию Бог, яко иде сей: и воста Ангел Божий препяти ему на пути. Сей же седяше на осляти своем и два раба его с ним.
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 smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
И узрев осел Ангела Божия супротив стояща на пути, и мечь извлечен в руце его, и совратися осел с пути и идяше на поле: и бияше (Валаам) осля жезлом своим, еже направити е на путь:
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.
и ста Ангел Божий на броздах виноградных: ограждение отсюду, и ограждение отюнуду:
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 smote her again.
и узрев осел Ангела Божия, приложися ко ограде и прижме ногу Валааму ко ограде, и приложи еще бити его:
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.
и приложи Ангел Божии, и шед свята в месте узком, в немже не бяше уклонитися ни на десно, ни на лево:
27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
и видя осля Ангела Божия, паде под Валаамом: и разгневася Валаам, и бияше осля жезлом.
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?
И отверзе Бог уста осляти, и рече Валааму: что сотворих тебе, яко се, в третие биеши мя?
29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
И рече Валаам осляти: яко поругалося ми еси: и аще бых мечь имел в руку моею, пробол бых тя.
30 And the ass said unto Balaam, [Am] not I thine ass, 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.
И рече осля Валааму: не аз ли ослица твоя, на нейже ты ездиши от юности своея до днешняго дне? Еда презорством презревши сотворих тебе сие? Он же рече: ни.
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.
Отверзе же Бог очи Валааму, и узре Ангела Божия противостояща на пути, и мечь извлечен в руце его: и приклонився поклонися ему лицем своим.
32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because [thy] way is perverse before me:
И рече ему Ангел Божий: почто биеши осля твое сие в третие? И се, Аз приидох на препятие твое, яко неприятен путь твой предо Мною: и видя мя ослица, совратися от Мене се третие:
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 thee, and saved her alive.
и аще бы не уклонилася от Мене, ныне тя убо убил бых, сию же сохранил бых.
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 again.
И рече Валаам ко Ангелу Господню: согреших, не ведех бо, яко Ты мне противостоял еси на пути: и ныне аще Тебе не угодно, возвращуся.
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.
И рече Ангел Божий к Валааму: иди ты с человеки: обаче слово, еже аще реку тебе, сие сохрани глаголати. И иде Валаам со князи Валаковы.
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.
И услышав Валак, яко приходит Валаам, изыде во сретение ему во град Моавль, иже есть в пределех Арноних, иже есть на краи пределов.
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?
И рече Валак к Валааму: не послах ли к тебе звати тя? Почто не пришел еси ко мне? Или не возмогу почтити тебе?
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.
И рече Валаам к Валаку: се, прихожду к тебе ныне: мощен ли буду глаголати что? Слово, еже аще вложить Бог во уста моя, сие реку.
39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjath-huzoth.
И иде Валаам с Валаком, и внидоша во Грады Селныя.
40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that [were] with him.
И закла Валак телцы и овцы, и посла Валааму и князем иже с ним.
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.
И бысть заутра, и взяв Валак Валаама, возведе его на столп Ваалов, и показа ему оттуду часть некую людий.
