< Numbers 22 >
1 The children of Israel [God prevails] traveled on and encamped in the plains of Moab [From father] beyond the Jordan [Descender] River, opposite Jericho [Fragrant, Moon].
Isala: ili dunu da bu asili, Moua: be umi soge amo Yodane Hano ea eso mabe la: idi, Yeligou moilai bai bagade la: idila la: idilale diala, amogawi ilia fisisu hamoi.
2 Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel [God prevails] had done to the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers].
Moua: be hina bagade Ba: ila: ge (Sibo egefe), e da Isala: ili ilia hou amo A: moulaide dunuma hamoi amola ilia idi bagade nababeba: le,
3 Moab [From father] was very afraid of the people, because they were many. Moab [From father] was distressed because of the children of Israel [God prevails].
e amola ea fi dunu huluane da bagadewane beda: i galu.
4 Moab [From father] said to the elders of Midian [Strife], “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 [From father] at that time.
Moua: be dunu da Midia: ne fi dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Bulamagau gawali da gisi bugi ganodini gisi na ebelesa, amo defele Isala: ili fi bagade da ninia liligi huluane wadela: lesimu.”
5 He sent messengers to Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, “Behold, there is a people who came out of Egypt [Abode of slavery]. Behold, they cover the surface of the earth, and they are staying opposite me.
Amaiba: le, hina bagade Ba: ila: ge da sia: ne iasu dunu ilia Ba: ila: me (Bio egefe, e da Bidio moilai Amoue soge Iufala: idisi Hano gadenene esalu), amo dunu ema misa: ne sia: si. Sia: ne iasu dunu da Ba: ila: ge ea sia: amane sia: si, “Di da amo liligi dawa: ma: ne na da sia: sisa. Dunu fi bagade da Idibidi sogega goeguda: misi dagoi. Amo dunu da soge huluane amoga a: i ahoa, amola ilia da ninia soge huluane lamusa: magagisa.
6 Please come now therefore curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and that I may divorce them out of the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”
Ilia idi da ninia idi baligi dagoi. Amaiba: le, di goeguda: misini, na fidima: ne ilima gagabusu aligima: ne ilegema. Amasea, amabela: ? ninia da ilima hasalimu amola ninia soge fisimusa: ili sefasimu. Na dawa: ! Di da dunu hahawane esaloma: ne sia: sea, ilia da hahawane esalumu, amola di da ilima gagabusu aligima: ne ilegesea, amo gagabusu da ilima aligi dialumu.”
7 The elders of Moab [From father] and the elders of Midian [Strife] departed with the rewards of divination in their hand. They came to Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people], and spoke to him the words of Balak.
Amaiba: le, Moua: be amola Midia: ne ouligisu dunu da amo gagabusu ilegesu dabe sia: amo gaguli asili, Ba: ila: mema doaga: le, Ba: ila: ge ea sia: ema sia: ne i.
8 He said to them, “Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Adonai shall speak to me.” The princes of Moab [From father] stayed with Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people].
Ba: ila: me da ilima amane sia: i, “Wali guiguda: golale, aya na da Hina Gode Ea nama sia: mu, amo dilima olelemu.” Amaiba: le, Moua: be ouligisu dunu da Ba: ila: me ili esalu.
9 God came to Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people], and said, “Who are these men with you?”
Gode da Ba: ila: mema misini, amane sia: i, “Amo dunu dili esalebe da nowa dunula: ?”
10 Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] said to God, “Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab [From father], has said to me,
Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Moua: be hina bagade Ba: ila: ge da ili nama amane olelema: ne asunasi,
11 ‘Behold, the people that has come out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] covers the surface of the earth. Now, come curse me them. Perhaps I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.’”
‘Dunu fi amo da Idibidi sogega misi da soge huluane amoga a: i ahoa. E da agoane hanai gala, amo na da gagubusu ilima aligima: ne ilegemu. Amasea, e da ilima doagala: le, gadili sefasimusa: dawa: mu.”
12 God said to Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people], “You shall not go with them. You shall not curse the people; for they are blessed.”
Gode da Ba: ila: mema amane sia: i, “Amo dunu mae sigi masa! Amola Isala: ili fi dunu ilima gagabui aligima: ne mae ilegema! Bai Na da ilima hahawane dogolegele hou ilegele i dagoi.”
13 Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, “Go to your land; for Adonai refuses to permit me to go with you.”
Golale, hahabe, Ba: ila: me da Ba: ila: ge ea sia: ne iasu dunuma asili, amane sia: i, “Dilia diasuga buhagima! Hina Gode da, na dili mae sigi masa: ne sia: i dagoi.”
14 The princes of Moab [From father] rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, “Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] refuses to come with us.”
Amaiba: le, ilia da Ba: ila: ge ema buhagili, Ba: ila: me da ili mae sigi misa: ne sia: i amo ema olelei.
15 Balak again sent princes, more, and more honorable than they.
Amalalu, Ba: ila: ge da sia: ne iasu dunu ilia idi da musa: asi dagoi, amo ilia hou da musa: asi hou ilia baligi, amo asunasi.
16 They came to Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people], and said to him, “Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, ‘Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me,
Ilia da Ba: ila: mema asili, Ba: ila: ge ea sia: ema amane alofele i, “Na dima ha: giwane edegesa. Misa! Logo ga: su liligi mae dawa: ma!
17 for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse this people for me.’”
Na da bidi bagadewane dima imunu, amola dia hanai adole ba: su huluane hamomu. Na dima ha: giwane edegesa. Misa! Amola na fidima: ne amo Isala: ili dunu fi ilima gagabui aligima: ne ilegema.”
18 Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] answered the servants of Balak, “If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the word of Adonai my God, to do less or more.
Be Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Ba: ila: ge da silifa amola gouli ea hina bagade diasu ganodini amo huluanedafa nama ianoba, na da Hina Gode Ea sia: fonobahadi afae fawane giadofamu da nama hamedei gala: loba.
19 Now therefore, please wait also here this night, that I may know what Adonai will speak to me more.”
Be dilia musa: misi dunu defele, wali gasia goeguda: esaloma. Bai na da Hina Godema bu adole ba: mu. Amabela: ? E da nama sia: eno ganabela: ?”
20 God came to Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] 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.”
Amo gasia, Gode da Ba: ila: mema misini, amane sia: i, “Amo dunu da dia ili sigi masa: ne sia: musa: misi galea, defea, dia liligi momagele, ili sigi masa. Be Na hamoma: ne sia: i defele amo fawane hamoma.”
21 Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab [From father].
Amaiba: le, hahabe, Ba: ila: me da ea dougi amo da: iya fa: le fisu amo lala: gilalu, fila heda: le, Moua: be ouligisu dunu amola sigi asi.
22 God’s anger burned because he went; and ha mal'ak Yahweh [the Angel of He sustains breathing] placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
Ba: ila: me da ahoabeba: le, Gode da ougi ba: i. Amaiba: le, Ba: ila: me da ea dougi da: iya fila heda: le, ea hawa: hamosu dunu aduna amola gilisili: logoga ahoanoba, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da ea logo hedofamusa: , logo dogoa lelu.
23 The donkey saw ha mal'ak Yahweh [the Angel of He sustains breathing] 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. Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] struck the donkey, to turn her into the way.
Dougi da a: igele dunu gegesu gobihei bagade gaguliwane lelebe ba: beba: le, e da logo fisili, bu la: ididili sega sa: i. Ba: ila: me da ea dougi fananu, bu logoga logei.
24 Then ha mal'ak Yahweh [the Angel of He sustains breathing] stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
Amalalu, a:igele dunu da logo donoboi amo da waini efe sagai amo da igiga gagoi, amo dibiga asili, lelu.
25 The donkey saw ha mal'ak Yahweh [the Angel of He sustains breathing], and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people]’s foot against the wall. He struck her again.
Dougi da a: igele ba: beba: le, logo la: idi amoga bobogala: le, Ba: ila: me ea emo da igiga gagoi amo damana fanasili gigidinai. Ba: ila: me da bu enowane dougi fai.
26 Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] 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: igele da eno ba: le gaidi asili, donoboidafa logo sogebi, la: ididili amola la: ididili baligimu hamedei sogebi, amoga lelu.
27 The donkey saw ha mal'ak Yahweh [the Angel of He sustains breathing], and she lay down under Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people]. Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people]’s anger burned, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
Dougi da bu a: igele dunu ba: beba: le, osoboga diagudui. Ba: ila: me ea ougi bagade heda: le, e da dougi amo ea galiamoga fananu.
28 Adonai opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people], “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”
Amalalu, Hina Gode da dougi amoma, dunuga sia: be agoane sia: ma: ne, gasa i. Dougi da Ba: ila: mema amane sia: i, “Na da dima adi hamobela: ? Di da abuliba: le, na udiana agoane udigili fabela: ?”
29 Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] 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.”
Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Bai di da na gagaoui dunu agoane ba: ma: ne, hamoi dagoi! Na da gegesu gobihei bagade gagui ganiaba, na da di medole legela: loba.”
30 The donkey said to Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people], “Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long until today? Was I ever in the habit of doing so to you?” He said, “No.”
Dougi da bu adole i, “Na da dia dougi amola dia esalusu ganodini di da eso huluane nama fila heda: le ahoanusu. Na da amo hou musa: dima hamobela: ?” Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Hame mabu!”
31 Then Adonai opened the eyes of Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people], and he saw ha mal'ak Yahweh [the Angel of He sustains breathing] standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Ba: ila: mema amo a: igele dunu gegesu gobihei bagade gaguiwane lelebe amo ba: ma: ne, e si doasi. Amalalu, Ba: ila: me da hina: odagi osoba guduli gala: lasa: i.
32 Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way is perverse before me.
A: igele da ema amane sia: i, “Dia abuliba: le udiana agoane dia dougi fabela: ? Na da dia logo hedofamusa: misi dagoi! Bai di da amodili masunu da defea hame galebe.
33 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.”
Be dia dougi da na ba: lalu udiana agoane sinidigi. E da agoai hame hamosa ganiaba, na da di fane legela: loba, amola dougi hame fane legela: loba.”
34 Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] said to ha mal'ak Yahweh [the Angel of He sustains breathing], “I have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·; for I didn’t know that you stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases you, I will go back again.”
Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Na da wadela: le hamoi dagoi. Di da na logo hedofamusa: logoga lelu, na da hame dawa: i galu. Be di da na bu masunu da defea hame dawa: sea, na da na diasuga buhagimu.”
35 Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] said to Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people], “Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak.” So Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] went with the princes of Balak.
Be a: igele da ema amane sia: i, “Di mae buhagili, amo dunu sigi masa. Be na dima adomu liligi fawane sia: ma!” Amaiba: le, Ba: ila: me da Moua: be ouligisu dunu amola bu sigi asi.
36 When Balak sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] had come, he went out to meet him to the City of Moab [From father], which is on the border of the Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border.
Ba: ila: ge da Ba: ila: me ea manebe sia: nababeba: le, e da A moilai bai bagade (Anone Hano bega: amola Moua: be soge alalo amoga dialu) amoga Ba: ila: me yosia: musa: asi.
37 Balak said to Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people], “Didn’t I earnestly send to you to call you? Why didn’t you come to me? Am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?”
Ba: ila: ge da Ba: ila: mema amane sia: i, “Dia abuliba: le na da musa: misa: ne sia: i amoga hame misibala: ? Dia adi dawa: bela: ? Na da dima bidi defele imunu hamedebela: ?”
38 Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] said to Balak, “Behold, 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.”
Ba: ila: me da bu adole i, “Na da wali misi dagoi! Dafawanela: ? Be na da gasa hamedei. Na da Gode Ea nama sia: i liligi fawane sia: mu, amo fawane gasa gala.”
39 Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people] went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth.
Amalalu, Ba: ila: me amola Ba: ila: ge da Gilia: de Husode moilai amoga asili,
40 Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and sent to Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people], and to the princes who were with him.
Ba: ila: ge da bulamagau amola sibi medole legele, amo ea hu mogili Ba: ila: me amola ouligisu dunu amo ili gilisili moma: ne ema i.
41 In the morning, Balak took Balaam [Not people, Destroyer of people], and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from there part of the people.
Golale, hahabe, Ba: ila: ge da Ba: ila: me amo Ba: imode Ba: ile (gado sogebi) amoga oule asi. Amoga, Ba: ila: me da Isala: ili fi dunu mogili ba: musa: dawa: i.
