Numbers 22
1 And the sons of Israel journey and encamp in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan, [by] Jericho.
Tad Israēla bērni cēlās un apmetās Moaba klajumos, viņpus Jardānes, Jērikum pretī.
2 And Balak son of Zippor sees all that Israel has done to the Amorite,
Kad nu Balaks, Cipora dēls, visu redzēja, ko Israēls bija darījis Amoriešiem,
3 and Moab is exceedingly afraid of the presence of the people, for it [is] numerous; and Moab is distressed by the presence of the sons of Israel,
Tad Moabs ļoti bijās no tiem ļaudīm, jo to bija daudz, un Moabam bija bail no Israēla bērniem.
4 and Moab says to [the] elderly of Midian, “Now the assembly licks up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the green thing of the field.” And Balak son of Zippor [is] king of Moab at that time,
Tāpēc Moabs sacīja uz Midijaniešu vecajiem: nu šī draudze visu apēdīs, kas mums visapkārt, itin kā vērsis apēd zāli virs zemes. Bet Balaks, Cipora dēls, bija tanī laikā Moabiešu ķēniņš.
5 and he sends messengers to Balaam son of Beor, to Pethor, which [is] by the River of the land of the sons of his people, to call for him, saying, “Behold, a people has come out of Egypt; behold, it has covered the eye of the land, and it is abiding in front of me;
Un tas sūtīja vēstnešus pie Bileāma, Beora dēla, uz Petoru, kas pie tās lielupes, viņa ļaužu bērnu zemē, viņu aicināt, un sacīja: redzi, tur ir ļaudis izgājuši no Ēģiptes zemes, redzi, tie apklāj zemes virsu un ir apmetušies man pretī.
6 and now, come, please curse this people for me, for it [is] mightier than I. It may be I prevail, [and] we strike it, and I cast it out from the land; for I have known that which you bless is blessed, and that which you curse is cursed.”
Un nu nāc jel un nolādi man šos ļaudis, - jo tie ir stiprāki nekā es, - ka es tos varētu apkaut un izdzīt no zemes; jo es zinu, ka ko tu svētī, tas ir svētīts, un ko tu nolādi, tas ir nolādēts.
7 And [the] elderly of Moab and [the] elderly of Midian go with divinations in their hand, and they come to Balaam and speak the words of Balak to him,
Tad Moabiešu vecaji un Midijaniešu vecaji gāja, un zīlēšanas alga bija viņu rokā, un tie nāca pie Bileāma un runāja uz viņu Balaka vārdus.
8 and he says to them, “Lodge here tonight, and I have brought you back word, as YHWH speaks to me”; and the princes of Moab abide with Balaam.
Tad tas uz viņiem sacīja: paliekat šeit par nakti, tad es jums atsacīšu, kā Tas Kungs uz mani runās; un Moaba virsnieki palika pie Bileāma.
9 And God comes to Balaam and says, “Who [are] these men with you?”
Un Dievs nāca pie Bileāma un sacīja: kas tie tādi ļaudis, kas pie tevis?
10 And Balaam says to God, “Balak, son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me:
Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Dievu: Balaks, Cipora dēls, Moabiešu ķēniņš, pie manis sūtījis
11 Behold, the people that is coming out from Egypt and covers the eye of the land—now come, pierce it for me; it may be I am able to fight against it and have cast it out”;
(Sacīdams): Redzi, ļaudis no Ēģiptes zemes ir izgājuši un apklāj zemes virsu, nāc nu, nolādi man tos, ka es pret tiem varētu karot un tos izdzīt.
12 and God says to Balaam, “You do not go with them; you do not curse the people, for it [is] blessed.”
Tad Dievs sacīja uz Bileāmu: tev nebūs iet ar viņiem, tev nebūs šos ļaudis nolādēt, jo tie ir svētīti.
13 And Balaam rises in the morning and says to the princes of Balak, “Go to your land, for YHWH is refusing to permit me to go with you”;
Tad Bileāms cēlās rītā agri un sacīja uz Balaka lielkungiem: ejat uz savu zemi, jo Tas Kungs aizliedz un neļauj Man iet ar jums.
14 and the princes of Moab rise, and come to Balak, and say, “Balaam is refusing to come with us.”
Tad Moaba virsnieki cēlās un nāca pie Balaka un sacīja: Bileāms ir liedzies, mums iet līdz.
15 And Balak adds yet to send princes, more numerous and honored than these,
Un Balaks atkal sūtīja vēl vairāk un jo cienīgus lielkungus.
16 and they come to Balaam and say to him, “Thus said Balak son of Zippor: Please do not be withheld from coming to me,
Tie nāca pie Bileāma un uz to sacīja: tā saka Balaks, Cipora dēls: lūdzams, neliedzies nākt pie manis.
17 for I honor you very greatly, and all that you say to me I do; and come, please pierce this people for me.”
Jo es tevi augsti godināšu un visu, ko tu man sacīsi, to es darīšu: tad nāc jel, nolād man šos ļaudis.
18 And Balaam answers and says to the servants of Balak, “If Balak gives to me the fullness of his house of silver and gold, I am not able to pass over the command of my God YHWH, to do a little or a great thing;
Tad Bileāms atbildēja un sacīja uz Balaka kalpiem: kaut man Balaks savu namu dotu pilnu zelta un sudraba, tomēr es nevarētu pārkāpt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdu, darīt vai mazu vai lielu lietu.
19 and now, please abide in this [place], you also, tonight, then I know what YHWH is adding to speak with me.”
Un nu paliekat jel arī šo nakti pie manis, tad es redzēšu, ko Tas Kungs atkal ar mani runās.
20 And God comes to Balaam by night and says to him, “If the men have come to call for you, rise, go with them, and only the thing which I speak to you—do it.”
Tad Dievs nāca pie Bileāma naktī un uz to sacīja: ja tie vīri nākuši tevi aicināt, tad celies, ej viņiem līdz, bet tikai to tev būs darīt, ko Es uz tevi runāšu.
21 And Balaam rises in the morning, and saddles his donkey, and goes with the princes of Moab,
Tad Bileāms cēlās rītā agri un apsedloja savu ēzelieni un gāja tiem Moaba virsniekiem līdz.
22 and the anger of God burns because he is going, and the Messenger of YHWH stations Himself in the way for an adversary to him, and he is riding on his donkey, and two of his servants [are] with him,
Bet Dieva bardzība iedegās, tāpēc ka viņš gāja, un Tā Kunga eņģelis nostājās uz ceļa viņam par pretinieku; un viņš jāja uz savas ēzelienes, un viņa divi puiši viņam līdz.
23 and the donkey sees the Messenger of YHWH standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and the donkey turns aside out of the way and goes into a field, and Balaam strikes the donkey to turn it aside into the way.
Un tā ēzeliene ieraudzīja Tā Kunga eņģeli uz ceļa stāvam, pliku zobenu rokā, un tā ēzeliene atkāpās no ceļa un gāja uz tīrumu; tad Bileāms sita to ēzelieni, viņu griezdams uz ceļu.
24 And the Messenger of YHWH stands in a narrow path of the vineyards, [with] a wall on this [side] and a wall on that [side],
Bet Tā Kunga eņģelis nostājās ceļa šaurumā vīna dārzu starpā, kur abējās pusēs bija mūris.
25 and the donkey sees the Messenger of YHWH, and is pressed to the wall, and presses Balaam’s foot to the wall, and he adds to strike her;
Kad nu tā ēzeliene Tā Kunga eņģeli ieraudzīja, tad tā spiedās pie mūra un piespieda Bileāma kāju pie mūra; tāpēc viņš to atkal sita.
26 and the Messenger of YHWH adds to pass over, and stands in a narrow place where there is no way to turn aside [to] the right or left,
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis gāja tālāki un nostājās kādā šaurā vietā, kur nebija kur atkāpties, ne pa labo, ne pa kreiso roku.
27 and the donkey sees the Messenger of YHWH, and crouches under Balaam, and the anger of Balaam burns, and he strikes the donkey with a staff.
Kad nu tā ēzeliene Tā Kunga eņģeli ieraudzīja, tad tā pakrita uz ceļiem apakš Bileāma, un Bileāma dusmas iedegās un viņš to ēzelieni sita ar koku.
28 And YHWH opens the mouth of the donkey, and she says to Balaam, “What have I done to you that you have struck me these three times?”
Un Tas Kungs atvēra muti tai ēzelienei un tā sacīja uz Bileāmu: ko es tev esmu darījusi, ka tu man nu trīs reizes esi sitis?
29 And Balaam says to the donkey, “Because you have rolled yourself against me; oh that there were a sword in my hand, for now I had slain you”;
Un Bileāms sacīja uz to ēzelieni: tāpēc ka tu mani esi kaitinājusi! Kaut zobens būtu manā rokā, es tevi tagad nokautu!
30 and the donkey says to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden since [I became] yours, even to this day? Have I at all been accustomed to do thus to you?” And he says, “No.”
Tad tā ēzeliene sacīja uz Bileāmu: vai neesmu tava ēzeliene, uz kā tu esi jājis līdz šai dienai? Vai tas bijis man ieradums tev tā darīt? Viņš sacīja: nē.
31 And YHWH uncovers the eyes of Balaam, and he sees the Messenger of YHWH standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and he bows and pays respect, to his face;
Tad Tas Kungs Bileāmam atvēra acis, ka viņš Tā Kunga eņģeļi ieraudzīja uz ceļa stāvam, pliku zobenu rokā; tāpēc viņš klanījās un nometās uz savu vaigu.
32 and the Messenger of YHWH says to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out for an adversary, for [your] way has been perverse before Me,
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis uz viņu sacīja: kāpēc tu savu ēzelieni nu trīs reiz sitis? Raugi, es esmu izgājis tev par pretinieku, jo tavs ceļš manā priekšā ir ļauns.
33 and the donkey sees Me and turns aside at My presence these three times; unless she had turned aside from My presence, surely I had also slain you now, and kept her alive.”
Bet tā ēzeliene mani redzējusi un nu trīs reiz no manis atkāpusies, un ja viņa nebūtu atkāpusies, tiešām es tevi būtu nokāvis un viņu pametis dzīvu.
34 And Balaam says to the Messenger of YHWH, “I have sinned, for I did not know that You [are] standing to meet me in the way; and now, if [it is] evil in Your eyes, I turn back by myself.”
Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Tā Kunga eņģeli: es esmu grēkojis, jo es nezināju, tevi uz ceļa man pretī stāvam, un nu, ja tev nepatīk, tad es iešu atpakaļ.
35 And the Messenger of YHWH says to Balaam, “Go with the men; and only the word which I speak to you—it you speak”; and Balaam goes with the princes of Balak.
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Bileāmu: ej tiem vīriem līdz; tomēr to vien, ko es uz tevi runāšu, to tev būs runāt. Tā Bileāms gāja Balaka lielkungiem līdz.
36 And Balak hears that Balaam has come, and goes out to meet him, to a city of Moab, which [is] on the border of Arnon, which [is] in the extremity of the border;
Kad nu Balaks dzirdēja Bileāmu nākam, tad viņš tam izgāja pretī līdz tai Moabiešu pilsētai, kas ir Arnonas robežās, - pašā robežu malā.
37 and Balak says to Balaam, “Did I not diligently send to you to call for you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not truly able to honor you?”
Un Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: vai es neesmu sūtīdams pie tevis sūtījis, tevi aicināt? Kāpēc tu neesi pie manis nācis? vai tad es nespēju tevi godināt?
38 And Balaam says to Balak, “Behold, I have come to you; now, am I able to speak anything at all? The word which God sets in my mouth—it I speak.”
Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: redzi, es pie tevis esmu atnācis, bet vai es kautko varu runāt kā vien to vārdu, ko Dievs liks manā mutē? - To es runāšu.
39 And Balaam goes with Balak, and they come to Kirjath-Huzoth,
Un Bileāms gāja Balakam līdz un tie nonāca Kiriat Hucotā.
40 and Balak sacrifices oxen and sheep, and sends [some] to Balaam and to the princes who [are] with him;
Un Balaks upurēja lielus un sīkus lopus un sūtīja Bileāmam un tiem lielkungiem, kas pie viņa bija.
41 and it comes to pass in the morning, that Balak takes Balaam and causes him to go up [to] the high places of Ba‘al, and he sees the extremity of the people from there.
Un no rīta Balaks ņēma Bileāmu un to veda uz Baāla kalniem, un no turienes šis redzēja vienu galu no tiem ļaudīm.
