Numbers 22
1 The children of Israel traveled, and camped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.
Mwet Israel mukuiyak som ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos yen tupasrpasr in acn Moab, layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan ma tulanang Jericho.
2 Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Ke Balak wen natul Zippor, su tokosra lun Moab, el lohng ke ma mwet Israel oru nu sin mwet Amor ac pisen mwet Israel ma oasr we,
3 Moab was very afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
el, ac mwet lal nukewa, mutawauk in sangeng ac rarrar.
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.
Mwet Moab fahk nu sin mwet kol lun mwet Midian, “Ac tia paht un mwet se inge ac sukela ma nukewa raunikutyak inge, oana ke soko cow mukul kangla nufon mah ke ima uh.” Ouinge Tokosra Balak
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.
el supwala mwet utuk kas in solalma Balaam wen natul Beor, su muta Pethor apkuran nu Infacl Euphrates in acn Amaw. Elos us kas inge sel Balak nu sel Balaam: “Nga ke akkalemye nu sum lah mutunfacl nufon se tuku Egypt me. Mwet inge osralik yen nukewa, ac nunku in eisla acn sik uh.
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."
Elos ku liki kut, ke ma inge nunak munas fahsru fahkla sie kas in selnga nu faclos keik. Na sahp kut fah ku in kutangulosla ac luselosyak liki acn uh. Nga etu lah ke kom akinsewowoye sie mwet, el insewowo, ac ke kom selngawi sie mwet, el selngawiyuk.”
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.
Ouinge kewana mwet kol lun mwet Moab ac lun mwet Midian elos us mani in moli selnga, ac som nu yorol Balaam, ac fahkang kas lal Balak nu sel.
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.
Balaam el fahk nu selos, “Mongla yorosr ofong, ac lutu nga fah fahkak nu suwos kutena ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik.” Na mwet kol lun mwet Moab elos muta yorol Balaam.
9 And God came to Balaam, and said, "Who are these men with you?"
God El tuku nu yorol Balaam ac siyuk sel, “Su mwet muta yurum inge?”
10 And Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying,
El topuk, “Tokosra Balak lun mwet Moab el supwalosme in fahk nu sik
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.'"
lah mutunfacl se tuku Egypt me ac oalik fin acn uh nufon. El lungse nga in selngawelos kacl, tuh elan ku in mweunelos ac luselosla.”
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."
God El fahk nu sel Balaam, “Nik kom wi mwet inge som. Nga akinsewowoye tari mwet Israel, na pa kom in tia selngawelos.”
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."
Lotutang tok ah, Balaam el som nu yurin mwet lal Balak ac fahk, “Folokla nu yen suwos. LEUM GOD El tia lela nga in wi kowos som.”
14 The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, "Balaam refuses to come with us."
Ouinge elos folokla nu yorol Balak ac fahkang nu sel lah Balaam el srangesr welulos.
15 Then Balak again sent princes, more in number and more honorable than these.
Na Balak el supwala sie u in mwet kol pus liki u se meet ah, ac fulat lukelos.
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:
Elos som nu yorol Balaam ac fahkang kas lal Balak inge: “Nga kwafe kom in tuku na! Nimet sang kutena ma in ikolkomi.
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.'"
Nga ac moli nu sum ke sie lupa na yohk. Ma nukewa kom fahk an nga ac oru. Nunak munas, fahsru ac selngawiya mwet inge keik.”
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.
Tusruktu Balaam el topkolos ac fahk, “Balak el finne ase luk silver ac gold nukewa in lohm sel, nga enenu na in oru oana ma LEUM GOD luk El sapkin nu sik. Nga tia ku in akyokyela ku aksrikyela sap lal.
19 Now therefore, you also stay here tonight, that I may know what else YHWH will say to me."
Ke ma inge, nunak munas mongla yorosr ofong oana u se meet ah, na nga fah ku in etu lah ac oasr pac ma LEUM GOD El ac fahk nu sik.”
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."
Ke fong sac God El tuku nu yorol Balaam ac fahk, “Mwet inge fin siyuk kom in welulos som, akola kom in welulos. Tusruktu oru na ma nga fahk nu sum uh.”
21 Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
Ouinge Balaam el tukakek ke lotutang tok ah, akoela donkey natul ah, ac wi mwet kol Moab ah som.
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.
God El kasrkusrak lah Balaam el wi som, na ke Balaam el kasrusr lin donkey natul, ac mwet kulansap luo lal atlol, lipufan lun LEUM GOD tuyak kosrala inkanek uh.
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.
Ke donkey soko ah liyauk lipufan se tu we ac sruok cutlass se, el kuhfla liki inkanek uh ac som nu inimae. Balaam el sringil donkey soko ah ac tolokunulma nu inkanek uh.
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.
Na lipufan sac tui ke soko inkanek oasriksrik inmasrlon ima in grape luo, ac oasr pot fulat siska lac lac.
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.
Ke donkey soko uh liyauk lipufan sac, el kalukyang nu ke sisken soko pot uh ac itungya nial Balaam nu kac. Balaam el sifilpa sringil donkey natul uh.
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.
Na lipufan sac sifilpa kilukyak nu meet, tui ke sie acn iktok ma wangin na pwaye acn mwet ku in aikil we.
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.
Na ke donkey soko ah liye lipufan sac, el ona infohk ah. Balaam el foloyak ac sifilpa srunglul ke sak soko sel.
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?"
Na LEUM GOD El sang ku nu sin donkey ah in sramsram, na el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Mea nga oru koluk nu sum? Efu ku kom uniyu pacl tolu lac?”
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."
Balaam el topuk, “Mweyen kom oru oana ngan arulana lalfon! Funu oasr cutlass sik, nga lukun unikomi na.”
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."
Donkey el sifilpa fahk, “Ya tia nga na pa donkey soko ma kom nuna kasrusr fac in moul lom nufon? Mea, oasr pacl nga oru ouinge nu sum meet?” El topuk, “Wangin.”
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.
Na LEUM GOD El oru tuh Balaam elan ku in liyauk lipufan sac ke el tu sruok cutlass natul; ac Balaam el faksufi nu infohk uh.
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:
Lipufan sac siyuk sel, “Efu ku kom uni donkey nutum ouinge pacl tolu lac? Nga tuku in tuh kosrekomla, mweyen kom tia enenu in orala fahsr se lom inge.
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 donkey nutum uh liyeyuyak ac kuhfla liki inkanek uh pacl tolu. El funu tia kuhfla, nga lukun unikomi ac molella.”
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."
Balaam el topuk, “Nga orekma koluk. Nga tiana etu lah kom tu inkanek uh in kosreyula. Tusruktu inge kom fin nunku mu tia wo nga in som, na tari nga ac folokla nu yen sik.”
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.
A lipufan sac fahk nu sel, “Wi na mwet inge som, tusruktu kom fah fahk na ma nga ac sap kom in fahk uh.” Ouinge Balaam el wi mwet uh som.
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.
Ke Balak el lohngak lah Balaam el tuku, el som in osun nu sel in acn Ar, sie siti su oan sisken Infacl Arnon ke masrol lun Moab.
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?"
Balak el fahk nu sel, “Efu kom tia tuku ke nga tuh suli kom meet ah? Ya kom nunku mu nga tia ku in moli wo nu sum?”
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."
Balaam el topuk, “Liye, nga pa inge. Tusruktu, ku fuka se luk an? Ma na God El sapkin uh pa nga ac fahk uh.”
39 Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth.
Ouinge Balaam el welul Balak som nu ke siti srisrik Huzoth,
40 Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes who were with him.
yen Balak el kisakin cow ac sheep we, ac sang kutu ikwen ma inge nu sel Balaam ac mwet kol su welul.
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.
In lotu tok ah, Balak el usalak Balaam nu Bamoth Baal, sie acn su Balaam el ac ku in ngetla ac liye kutu sin mwet Israel ah we.
