Numbers 22
1 The children of Israel traveled, and camped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.
HELE aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a hoomoana iho la ma na papu o Moaba, ma keia aoao o Ioredane e ku pono ana i Ieriko.
2 Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
A ike aku la o Balaka ke keiki a Zipora i ka mea a pau a ka Iseraela i hana aku ai i ka Amora.
3 Moab was very afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
Makau loa iho la o Moaba i ua poe kanaka la, no ka mea, he lehulehu lakou: a ua pilikia o Moaba no na mamo a Iseraela.
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.
Olelo aku la o Moaba i na lunakahiko o Midiana, E pau auanei na mea a pau o kakou i ka paluia e keia poe kanaka, e like me ka palu ana o ka bipi i ka weuweu o ke kula. A o Balaka ke keiki a Zipora ke alii o ka Moaba ia manawa.
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.
No ia mea, hoouna aku la ia i mau elele io Balaama la ke keiki a Beora i Petora ma ka muliwai o ka aina o na keiki o kona poe kanaka, e kii ia ia, i aku la, Eia hoi, he poe kanaka i hele mai nei mai Aigupita mai: aia hoi, ke uhi paapu nei lakou i ka aina, a e noho ku pono ana lakou io'u nei.
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."
Nolaila la, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele mai oe e olelo hoino aku no'u i keia poe kanaka; no ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u: malia e loaa paha ia'u ka ikaika e hahau aku ai makou ia lakou, a e kipaku au ia lakou mawaho o ka aina: no ka mea, ua ike no wau, o kau e hoomaikai aku ai, oia ke hoopomaikaiia; a o kau e olelo hoino aku ai, oia ke hoopoinoia.
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.
Hele aku la na lunakahiko o Moaba me na lunakahiko o Midiana, me ka uku no ka anaana ana: a hiki aku la lakou io Balaama la, a hai aku la ia ia i ka olelo a Balaka.
8 And he said to them, "Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as YHWH shall speak to me." The princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
I mai la oia ia lakou, e moe oukou maanei i keia po, a e hai aku au ia oukou e like me ka Iehova e olelo mai ai ia'u; a noho iho la na luna o Moaba me Balaama.
9 And God came to Balaam, and said, "Who are these men with you?"
Hele mai la ke Akua io Balaama la, ninau mai la, Owai keia poe kanaka me oe?
10 And Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying,
I aku la o Balaama i ke Akua, O Balaka ke keiki a Zipora, ke alii o Moaba, ua hoouna mai io'u nei, [i ka i ana, ]
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.'"
Aia hoi he poe kanaka i hele mai nei mai Aigupita mai, uhi paapu lakou i ka aina: e hele mai hoi oe e olelo hoino aku ia lakou no'u; malia paha e lanakila au i ke kaua ana aku ia lakou, a e kipaku aku ia lakou.
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."
Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Balaama, Mai hele aku oe me lakou: mai olelo hoino aku i ua poe kanaka la; no ka mea, ua hoomaikaiia lakou.
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."
Ala ae la o Balaama i kakahiaka, i aku la i na luna o Balaka, E hoi oukou i ko oukou aina; no ka mea, aole i ae mai o Iehova ia'u e hele me oukou.
14 The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, "Balaam refuses to come with us."
Ku ae la na luna o Moaba, a hoi aku la io Balaka la, i aku la, Ua hoole mai o Balaama aole e hele mai me makou.
15 Then Balak again sent princes, more in number and more honorable than these.
Hoouna hou aku la o Balaka i na luna, he nui aku, a he oi hoi ko lakou koikoi i ko kela poe.
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:
Hele aku la lakou io Balaama la, i aku ia ia, Penei ka Balaka ka ke keiki a Zipora e olelo mai nei, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, i keakea ole kekahi mea ia oe i ka hele ana mai io'u nei:
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.'"
No ka mea, e hoohanohano loa aku au ia oe, a e hana aku au i na mea a pau au e olelo mai ai ia'u: ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele mai hoi, e olelo hoino aku no'u i keia poe kanaka.
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 YHWH my God, to do less or more.
Olelo mai la o Balaama, i mai la i na kauwa a Balaka, Ina e haawi mai o Balaka ia'u i ke kala a me ke gula a piha kona hale, aole e hiki ia'u ke hoohala i ka olelo a Iehova a ko'u Akua, i ka hoemi iho, i ka oi aku paha.
19 Now therefore, you also stay here tonight, that I may know what else YHWH will say to me."
No ia mea, ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e noho hoi oukou ia nei i keia po, i ike au i ka mea a Iehova e olelo hou mai ai ia'u.
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."
Hele mai la ke Akua io Balaama la ia po iho, i mai la ia ia, Ina paha e hele mai ua mau kanaka la e hea mai ia oe, e ala ae oe e hele pu me lakou; aka, o ka olelo a'u e hai aku ai ia oe, oia kau e hana'i.
21 Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
Ala ae la o Balaama i kakahiaka, hoee aku la i ka noho maluna o kona hoki, a hele pu aku la me na luna o Moaba.
22 God's anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of YHWH placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
Ua hoaia ka inaina o ke Akua, no kona hele ana; a ku mai la ka anela o Iehova ma ke alanui, i mea ku e mai ia ia. E holo ana ia maluna o kona hoki, elua ana mau kauwa me ia.
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.
Ike aku la ka hoki i ka anela o Iehova e ku ana ma ke ala, a me kana pahikana i unuhiia ma kona lima; huli ae la ka hoki mawaho o ke ala, a hele aku la ma ke kula; a hahau iho la o Balaama i ka hoki, e hoohuli hou ia ia ma ke ala.
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.
Aka, ku ae la ka anela o Iehova ma ke ala o na pawaina, he papohaku ma kela aoao, a he papohaku ma keia aoao.
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.
A ike aku la ka hoki i ka anela o Iehova, pipika ae la ia ma ka papohaku, a pepe iho la ka wawae o Balaama i ka papohaku; a hahau hou iho la kela ia ia.
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.
A hele hou aku la ka anela o Iehova, a ku iho la ma kahi haiki, aole wahi e huli ae ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema.
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.
A ike aku la ka hoki i ka anela o Iehova, hina iho la ia malalo o Balaama; huhu iho la o Balaama, a hahau iho la ia i ka hoki me ke kookoo.
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?"
Wehe ae la o Iehova i ka waha o ka hoki, a i mai la ia ia Balaama, Heaha ka'u i hana aku ai ia oe, i pakolu ai kau hahau ana mai ia'u?
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."
I aku la o Balaama i ka hoki, No ka mea, na hana ino mai oe ia'u; ina he pahikana ma ko'u lima, ina ua make oe ia'u.
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."
Ninau mai la ka hoki ia Balaama, Aole anei wau o kou hoki, ka mea au i holoholo ai, mai ka manawa i lilo ai au nou, a hiki i neia la? Pela no anei ka'u i hana aku ai ia oe mamua? I aku la kela, Aole.
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.
Alaila hookaakaa ae la o Iehova i na maka o Balaama, a ike aku la ia i ka anela o Iehova e ku ana ma ke alanui me ka pahikaua i unuhiia ma kona lima: kulou iho la ia, a moe iho la ilalo ke alo.
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:
I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia ia, No ke aha la oe i hahau ai i kou hoki, ekolu hahau ana? Aia hoi, i hele mai nei au e ku e ia oe; no ka mea, ua kekee kou aoao imua o'u.
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."
A ike mai la ka hoki ia'u, a huli ae la mai o'u aku la, ekolu huli ana: he oiaio, ina aole ia i huli ae, mai o'u aku nei, ina ua make oe ia'u, a ola kela.
34 Balaam said to the angel of YHWH, "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."
I aku la o Balaama i ka anela o Iehova, Ua hewa wau; aole au i ike ua ku e mai oe ia'u ma ke alanui: ano hoi, a i hewa ia mea ia oe, e hoi hou aku no wau.
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.
I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Balaama, E hele pu oe me ia mau kanaka; aka, o ka olelo a'u e hai aku ai ia oe, oia wale no kau e olelo aku ai. A hele aku la o Balaama me na luna o Balaka.
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.
A lohe ae la o Balaka, ua hiki mai o Balaama, hele aku kela e halawai me ia ma kekahi kulanakauhale o Moaba ma ka palena o Arenona, oia no ka palenamamao loa.
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?"
I mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Aole anei au i hoouna ikaika aku iou la, e kii ia oe? Heaha hoi kau i hele ole mai ai io'u nei? Aole anei e hiki ia'u ke hoohanohano ia oe?
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."
I aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, Eia hoi, ua hiki mai nei au iou la: ia'u no anei kekahi pono iki ke hai aku ia oe i kekahi mea? O ka olelo a ke Akua e waiho mai ai iloko o ko'u waha, oia ka'u e olelo aku ai.
39 Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth.
Hele pu ae la o Balaama me Balaka, a hiki ae la laua i Kiriatahuzota.
40 Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes who were with him.
Mohai aku la o Balaka i na bipi a me na hipa, a hoouna aku la io Balaama la, a i na luna me ia.
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.
A kakahiaka ae la, kono aku la o Balaka ia Balaama, a kai aku la ia ia i kahi kiekie o Baala, i ike aku ai oia ma ia wahi i ka poe kanaka a pau.
