< Numbers 22 >

1 The children of Israel traveled, and camped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.
Tad Israēla bērni cēlās un apmetās Moaba klajumos, viņpus Jardānes, Jērikum pretī.
2 Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Kad nu Balaks, Cipora dēls, visu redzēja, ko Israēls bija darījis Amoriešiem,
3 Moab was very afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
Tad Moabs ļoti bijās no tiem ļaudīm, jo to bija daudz, un Moabam bija bail no Israēla bērniem.
4 Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now this multitude will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field." Balak the son of Zippor was 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 He sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor on the river, to the land of the people of Ammon, to call him, saying, "Look, there is a people who came out from Egypt. Look, they cover the surface of the earth, and they are staying opposite 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 please come, curse this people for me, for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps 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."
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 The elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the fees for divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.
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 said to them, "Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Jehovah shall speak to me." The princes of Moab stayed 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 came to Balaam, and said, "Who are these men with you?"
Un Dievs nāca pie Bileāma un sacīja: kas tie tādi ļaudis, kas pie tevis?
10 And Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying,
Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Dievu: Balaks, Cipora dēls, Moabiešu ķēniņš, pie manis sūtījis
11 'Look, this people has come out of Egypt and they cover the surface of the earth. Come now, curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them 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 said to Balaam, "You are not to go with them, and you are not to curse the people, for they are blessed."
Tad Dievs sacīja uz Bileāmu: tev nebūs iet ar viņiem, tev nebūs šos ļaudis nolādēt, jo tie ir svētīti.
13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, "Go to your lord; for God refuses 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 The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, "Balaam refuses to come with us."
Tad Moaba virsnieki cēlās un nāca pie Balaka un sacīja: Bileāms ir liedzies, mums iet līdz.
15 Then Balak again sent princes, more in number and more honorable than these.
Un Balaks atkal sūtīja vēl vairāk un jo cienīgus lielkungus.
16 They came to Balaam, and said to him, "Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, 'Please let nothing hinder you 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 will greatly honor you, and whatever you say to me I will do for you. Please come therefore, and curse 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 Balaam answered the servants of Balak, "If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the command of Jehovah my God, to do less or more.
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 Now therefore, you also stay here tonight, that I may know what else Jehovah will say to me."
Un nu paliekat jel arī šo nakti pie manis, tad es redzēšu, ko Tas Kungs atkal ar mani runās.
20 God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, "If the men have come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that you shall do."
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 Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
Tad Bileāms cēlās rītā agri un apsedloja savu ēzelieni un gāja tiem Moaba virsniekiem līdz.
22 God's anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of Jehovah placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were 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 The donkey saw the angel of God standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the donkey turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her 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 Then the angel of God stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being 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 The donkey saw the angel of God, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he struck her again.
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 The angel of God went further, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis gāja tālāki un nostājās kādā šaurā vietā, kur nebija kur atkāpties, ne pa labo, ne pa kreiso roku.
27 The donkey saw the angel of God, and she lay down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the donkey with his 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 God opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said 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 Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you."
Un Bileāms sacīja uz to ēzelieni: tāpēc ka tu mani esi kaitinājusi! Kaut zobens būtu manā rokā, es tevi tagad nokautu!
30 The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long to this day? Was I ever in the habit of doing so to you?" He said, "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 Then God opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of God standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on 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 The angel of God said to him, "Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Look, I have come forth as an adversary, because your way is 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 saw me, and turned aside before me these three times. Unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I would have killed you, and saved 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 Balaam said to the angel of Jehovah, "I have sinned; for I did not know that you stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases you, I will go back again."
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 The angel of God said to Balaam, "Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak." So Balaam went 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 When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is in the utmost part 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 Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not earnestly send to you to call you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?"
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 Balaam said to Balak, "Look, I have come to you: have I now any power at all to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that shall 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 Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth.
Un Bileāms gāja Balakam līdz un tie nonāca Kiriat Hucotā.
40 Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes who were with him.
Un Balaks upurēja lielus un sīkus lopus un sūtīja Bileāmam un tiem lielkungiem, kas pie viņa bija.
41 It happened in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from there the utmost part of the people.
Un no rīta Balaks ņēma Bileāmu un to veda uz Baāla kalniem, un no turienes šis redzēja vienu galu no tiem ļaudīm.
