Numbers 22
1 Then did the sons of Israel break up, —and encamp in the waste plains of Moab, on the other side of the Jordan by 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 And Balak son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done unto 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 and Moab shrank with great fear from the presence of the people because, many, they were, —and Moab was alarmed at the presence of the sons 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 So Moab said unto the elders of Midian—Now, shall the gathered host lick up all that are round about us, as the ox doth lick up the verdure of the field. But, Balak son of Zippor, was king unto 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 So he sent messengers unto Balaam son of Beor, to Pethor which was by the river of the land of the sons of his people to call him, —saying Lo! a people, hath come forth out of Egypt Lo! he hath covered the eye of the land, Yea he, is tarrying over against 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 Now, therefore, do come, I pray thee curse me this people. For stronger, he is than I, If peradventure I prevail, we shall smite him, That I may drive him out of the land, —For I know that, he whom thou dost bless, is to be blessed, And, he whom thou dost curse, is to be 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 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian went their way, with the rewards of divination in their hand, —so they came in unto Balaam, and spake unto 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 unto them—Tarry ye here for the night, and I will bring you back word, as Yahweh shall speak unto me. So the princes of Moab abode 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 in unto Balaam, —and said, Who are these men with thee?
Hele mai la ke Akua io Balaama la, ninau mai la, Owai keia poe kanaka me oe?
10 Then said Balaam unto God, —Balak, son of Zippor king of Moab, hath sent unto me:
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 Lo! the people that hath come forth out of Egypt—he covereth the eye of the land. Now, do come, do revile me him, Peradventure I shall prevail in making war with him, And shall drive him 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 unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them, —Thou shalt not curse the people, For blessed, he is.
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 unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your own land, —For Yahweh hath refused to let me 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 So the princes of Moab arose, and came in unto Balak, —and said, Balaam refused 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 added Balak again, —to send princes, more and weightier 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 And they came in unto Balaam, —and said unto him—Thus, said Balak son of Zippor, Do not be withheld, I pray thee from coming unto 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 honour, thee, exceedingly, and all that thou shalt say unto me, will I do. Do come therefore I pray thee oh revile me this people.
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 And Balaam responded and said unto the servants of Balak, Though Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the bidding of Yahweh 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 abide here, I pray you even ye, —for the night, —that I may get to know what further Yahweh may be speaking with 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 And God came in unto Balaam, by night, and said unto him—If, to call thee, the men have come in, arise go with them, —But only, the thing that I shall speak unto thee, that, shalt thou 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 So Balaam arose in the morning, and saddled his ass, —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 Then kindled the anger of God, because he was going, and the messenger of Yahweh stationed himself in the way, to withstand him, —as he was riding upon his ass, his two young men being 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 And the ass saw the messenger of Yahweh stationed in the road with his drawn sword in his hand, so the ass turned aside out of the road and went into the field, —and Balaam smote the ass, to make her turn back into the road.
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 But the messenger of Yahweh took his stand, in a hollow pass of the vineyards, —with a fence on this side, and a fence 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 And when the ass saw the messenger of Yahweh, she squeezed herself against the wall, and squeezed the foot of Balaam against the wall, —and again he smote her.
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 And the messenger of Yahweh went on further, and took his stand in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn 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 And, when the ass saw the messenger of Yahweh, she sank down under Balaam, —then was Balaam’s anger kindled, and he smote the ass with the 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 Yahweh opened the mouth of the ass, —and she said unto Balaam—What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten 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 And Balaam said unto the ass, Surely thou hast been making sport of me, —Would there had been a sword in my hand, for, now, would I have slain thee.
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 Then said the ass unto Balaam—Am not I thine own ass on which thou hast ridden all thy life, until this day? Have I, been wont, to do unto thee, thus? And he said, Nay!
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 did Yahweh unveil the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the messenger of Yahweh stationed in the road, with his sword drawn in his hand, —so he bent his head and bowed down before him.
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 And the messenger of Yahweh said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass, these three times? Lo! I, myself, am come forth to withstand thee, because headlong was thy way 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 ass hath seen me, and hath turned aside at my presence these three times: Unless she had turned aside from my presence, yea now even thee, had I slain, but, her, had I suffered to live.
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 Then said Balaam unto the messenger of Yahweh—I have sinned, for I knew not, that, thou, wast stationed to meet me in the road, —Now, therefore, if it be displeasing in thine eyes, I must get me 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 And the messenger of Yahweh said unto Balaam—Go with the men: Only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that, shalt thou speak. So Balaam went his way 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 And Balak heard that Balaam, was coming, —so he went forth to meet him unto a city of Moab which was upon the boundary of Arnon, which was in the utmost part of the boundary.
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 And Balak said unto Balaam: Did I not, send, unto thee, to call thee? Wherefore didst thou not come unto me? Am I not in very deed, able to honour thee?
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 And Balaam said unto Balak—Lo! I am come unto thee, Now, can, I, possibly, promise anything? The word that God shall put in my mouth, that, must 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 So Balaam went with Balak, —and they entered Kiriath-huzoth.
Hele pu ae la o Balaama me Balaka, a hiki ae la laua i Kiriatahuzota.
40 And Balak sacrificed herd and flock, —and sent unto Balaam, and unto the princes that 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 And it came to pass in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up the high places of Baal, —and he saw from thence 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.
