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.
Mwet Israel mukuiyak som ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos yen tupasrpasr in acn Moab, layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan ma tulanang Jericho.
2 And Balak son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done unto 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 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.
el, ac mwet lal nukewa, mutawauk in sangeng ac rarrar.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 in unto Balaam, —and said, Who are these men with thee?
God El tuku nu yorol Balaam ac siyuk sel, “Su mwet muta yurum inge?”
10 Then said Balaam unto God, —Balak, son of Zippor king of Moab, hath sent unto me:
El topuk, “Tokosra Balak lun mwet Moab el supwalosme in fahk nu sik
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.
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 unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them, —Thou shalt not curse the people, For blessed, he is.
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 unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your own land, —For Yahweh hath refused to let me 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 So the princes of Moab arose, and came in unto Balak, —and said, Balaam refused to come with us.
Ouinge elos folokla nu yorol Balak ac fahkang nu sel lah Balaam el srangesr welulos.
15 Then added Balak again, —to send princes, more and weightier than these.
Na Balak el supwala sie u in mwet kol pus liki u se meet ah, ac fulat lukelos.
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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 abide here, I pray you even ye, —for the night, —that I may get to know what further Yahweh may be speaking with 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 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.
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 So Balaam arose in the morning, and saddled his ass, —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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Na lipufan sac tui ke soko inkanek oasriksrik inmasrlon ima in grape luo, ac oasr pot fulat siska lac lac.
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.
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 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.
Na lipufan sac sifilpa kilukyak nu meet, tui ke sie acn iktok ma wangin na pwaye acn mwet ku in aikil we.
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.
Na ke donkey soko ah liye lipufan sac, el ona infohk ah. Balaam el foloyak ac sifilpa srunglul ke sak soko sel.
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?
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 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.
Balaam el topuk, “Mweyen kom oru oana ngan arulana lalfon! Funu oasr cutlass sik, nga lukun unikomi na.”
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!
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 donkey nutum uh liyeyuyak ac kuhfla liki inkanek uh pacl tolu. El funu tia kuhfla, nga lukun unikomi ac molella.”
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 So Balaam went with Balak, —and they entered Kiriath-huzoth.
Ouinge Balaam el welul Balak som nu ke siti srisrik Huzoth,
40 And Balak sacrificed herd and flock, —and sent unto Balaam, and unto the princes that 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 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.
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.
