Numbers 22
1 And thei yeden forth, and settiden tentis in the feeldi places of Moab, where Jerico is set ouer Jordan.
Afei, Israelfoɔ no kɔɔ Moab tata so kɔtenaa Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam a ɛhɔ ne Yeriko di nhwɛanimu no.
2 Forsothe Balach, the sone of Sephor, siy alle thingis whiche Israel hadde do to Ammorrei,
Sipor babarima Moabhene Balak hunuu deɛ Israelfoɔ ayɛ Amorifoɔ.
3 and that men of Moab `hadden dred Israel, and miyten not bere the assailing of him.
Ɛberɛ a ɔhunuu Israelfoɔ dodoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no, ɔne ne nkurɔfoɔ bɔɔ huboa.
4 And he seide to the grettere men in birthe of Madian, So this puple schal do a wei alle men that dwellen in oure coostis, as an oxe is wont to do awei an eerbe `til to the rootis. Forsothe he, `that is, Balaac, was kyng in that tyme in Moab.
Ntɛm ara, wɔne Midian mpanimfoɔ tuu agyina. Wɔkaa sɛ, “Saa dɔm yi bɛwe biribiara a wɔhunu sɛdeɛ nantwie we serɛ.” Enti, Moab ɔhene Balak
5 Therfor he sente messangeris to Balaam, the sone of Beor, a fals diuynour, that dwellide on the flood of the lond of the sones of Amon, that thei schulden clepe hym, and schulden seie, Lo! a puple yede out of Egipt, `which puple hilide the face of erthe, and sittith ayens me.
somaa nnipa ma wɔkɔɔ Beor babarima Balaam nkyɛn wɔ Petor a ɛbɛn Asubɔnten Eufrate ho. Ɔsrɛɛ Balaam sɛ ɔmmɛboa no. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Nnipadɔm bi firi Misraim aba. Wɔkata asase ani nyinaa na wɔrehunahuna me.
6 Therfor come thou, and curse this puple, which is strongere than Y, if in ony maner Y may smyte and dryue hym out of my lond; for Y knowe, that he is blissid whom thou blissist, and he is cursid whom thou hast cursid.
Mɛsrɛ wo, bra na bɛdome wɔn ma me, ɛfiri sɛ wɔdɔɔso dodo. Ebia metumi adi wɔn so nkonim na mapam wɔn afiri asase no so. Na menim nhyira a ɛba wɔn a wohyira wɔn no so, ɛnna menim musuo a ɛba wɔn a wodome wɔn so.”
7 The eldere men of Moab and the grettere men in birthe of Madian yeden forth, hauynge in hondis the prijs of fals dyuynyng; and whanne thei hadden come to Balaam, and hadden teld to hym alle the wordis of Balaach, he answeride,
Nnipa a ɔsomaa wɔn no yɛ atitire a wɔfiri Moab ne Midian. Wɔfaa sika sɛ wɔde rekɔtua Balaam ka ama wadome Israelfoɔ. Enti wɔkɔɔ Balaam nkyɛn kɔkaa deɛ ɛhia Balak kyerɛɛ no.
8 Dwelle ye here to nyyt, and Y schal answere what euer thing the Lord schal seie to me. Sotheli while thei dwelliden at Balaam, God cam, and seide to hym,
Balaam kaa sɛ, “Monna ma adeɛ nkye mo. Adeɛ kye a, deɛ Awurade bɛkyerɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, mɛka akyerɛ mo.” Enti wɔdaeɛ.
9 What wolen these men at thee `to hem silf?
Anadwo no, Onyankopɔn baa Balaam nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Saa nnipa yi yɛ ɛhefoɔ?”
10 Balaam answeride, Balaach, the sone of Sephor, kyng of Moabitis, sente to me, and seide, Lo!
Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Wɔfiri Moabhene Balak nkyɛn.
11 a puple which is gon out of Egipt hilide the face of erthe; come thou, and curse hem, if in ony maner Y may fiyte, and dryue hym awey.
Na nnipadɔm bi firi Misraim aba ne hyeɛ so, na ɔpɛ sɛ mekɔ hɔ ntɛm so na mekɔdome wɔn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛtumi adi wɔn so.”
12 And God seide to Balaam, Nyle thou go with hem, nether curse thou the puple, for it is blessid.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nkɔ. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wodome wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, mahyira wɔn!”
13 Which Balaam roos eerli, and seide to the princes, Go ye in to youre lond, for God forbeed me to come with you.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, anɔpa, Balaam ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Monsane nkɔ fie! Awurade rempene mma mennyɛ saa.”
14 The princes turneden ayen, and seiden to Balaach, Balaam nolde come with vs.
Enti, ɔhene Balak ananmusifoɔ no sane wɔn akyi bɛbɔɔ amaneɛ sɛ ɔse ɔremma.
15 Eft Balaach sente many mo and noblere men, than he hadde sent bifore;
Balak sɔ hwɛɛ bio. Saa ɛberɛ no deɛ, ɔsomaa nnipa dodoɔ pa ara a animuonyamfoɔ a wɔkyɛn kane dɔm no fra wɔn mu.
16 whiche seiden, whanne thei hadden come to Balaam, Balaach, the sone of Sephor, seith thus, Tarye thou not to come to me, redi to onoure thee;
Wɔbaa Balaam nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔhene Balak se ɔsrɛ wo sɛ bra.
17 and what euer thing thou wolt, Y schal yyue to thee; come thou, and curse this puple.
Ɔbɛhyɛ wo animuonyam na sika biara a wɔbɛgye no no nso, ɔbɛtua. Ka sika a wobɛgye! Ɔse, wo deɛ, bra na bɛdome saa nnipa no ma yɛn.”
18 Balaam answeride, Thouy Balaach schal yyue to me his howsful of siluer and of gold, Y schal not mowe chaunge the word of my God, that Y speke ethir more ethir lesse.
Nanso, Balaam buaa sɛ, “Sɛ ɔma me ahemfie a wɔde dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahyɛ no ma tɔ koraa a, merentumi nyɛ biribiara mmu saa ahyɛdeɛ a Awurade a ɔyɛ me Onyankopɔn no ahyɛ no so.
19 Y biseche, that ye dwelle here also in this nyyt, that Y may wite what the Lord schal answere eft to me.
Nanso, monna ha ma adeɛ nkye na yɛnhwɛ sɛ Awurade bɛka asɛm foforɔ bi aka deɛ waka dada no ho anaa.”
20 Therfor the Lord cam to Balaam in the nyyt, and seide to hym, If these men comen to clepe thee, rise thou, and go with hem, so oneli that thou do that that Y schal comaunde to thee.
Anadwo no, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Balaam sɛ, “Sɔre na wo ne saa nnipa no nkɔ na mmom, hwɛ yie na yɛ deɛ mɛkyerɛ wo sɛ yɛ no nko ara.”
21 Balaam roos eerli, and whanne his femal asse was sadelid, he yede forth with hem.
Adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, ɔhyehyɛɛ nʼafunumu, tenaa ne so ne wɔn hyɛɛ aseɛ kɔeɛ.
22 And God was wrooth. And the `aungel of the Lord stood in the weie ayens Balam, that sat on the femal asse, and hadde twei children with hym.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn bo fuu Balaam ahopere a ɔde kɔeɛ no; enti ɔsomaa ɔsoro Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ kɔgyinaa akwantemfi sɛ ɔnkum no wɔ hɔ. Ɛberɛ a Balaam ne asomfoɔ baanu rekorɔ no,
23 The femal asse siy the aungel stondynge in the weie, with swerd drawun, and `turnede a wei hir silf fro the weie, and yede bi the feeld. And whanne Balaam beet hir, and wolde lede ayen to the path,
prɛko pɛ, Balaam afunumu no hunuu Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no sɛ ɔkura sekan gyina ɛkwan no mfimfini. Aboa no kwae faa wiram nanso Balaam kaa ne so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛfa ɛkwan mu.
24 the aungel stood in the streitnessis of twei wallis, with whiche the vyneris weren cumpassid.
Baabi a na Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no gyina hɔ no yɛ bobefuo afasuo mmienu ntam.
25 And the femal asse siy the aungel, and ioynede hir silf to the wal, and hurtlide the foot of the sittere; and he beet eft `the asse.
Ɛberɛ a afunumu no hunuu Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no, ɔde ne ho twee ɔfasuo no ho maa Balaam nan pɛkyɛeɛ. Nanso, Balaam kɔɔ so hwee aboa no bio.
26 And neuer the lesse the aungel yede to the streit place, where me `myyte not go out of the weie, nether to the riyt side nether to the left side, and stood ayens hym.
Afei, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no kɔɔ ɛkwan no anafoɔ kɔgyinaa baabi a ɛhɔ kyere pa ara a na afunumu no nnya baabi mfa.
27 And whanne the femal asse siy the aungel stondynge, sche felde doun vndir the feet of the sittere, which was wrooth ful greetli, and beet hir sidis with a staaf.
Enti, ɔbutuu ɛkwan no mu. Balaam de abufuo kaa aboa no mmaa.
28 And the Lord openyde the `mouth of the femal asse, and sche spak, What have Y doon to thee? whi smytist thou me, lo! now the thridde tyme?
Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ afunumu no ma ɔkasaeɛ! Ɔbisaa ne wura no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na mayɛ enti a ɛsɛ sɛ wohwe me mprɛnsa?”
29 Balaam answeride, For thou hast disserued, and hast scornyd me; Y wolde that Y hadde a swerd to sle thee.
Balaam nso buaa no sɛ, “Ɛfiri sɛ, woama masɛ ɔkwasea. Na sɛ mekura sekan a, anka mɛkum wo.”
30 And the femal asse seide, Whether Y am not thi beeste on which thou were wont to sitte euere til in to this present dai? seie thou, what lijk thing Y dide euere to thee? And he seide, Neuere.
Afunumu no nso bisaa no sɛ, “Me ne wo tenaeɛ yi, mayɛ sei pɛn?” Ne wura no buaa sɛ, “Dabi.”
31 Anoon the Lord openyde `the iyen of Balaam, and he siy the aungel stondynge in the weie, holdynge a drawun swerd in the hoond; and Balaam worschipide hym lowli in to erthe.
Afei, Awurade buee Balaam ani ma ɔhunuu ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ no sɛ watwe sekan gyina ɛkwan no mfimfini enti ɔkɔbutuu nʼanim.
32 To whom the aungel seide, Whi `betist thou thi femal asse `the thridde tyme? Y cam to be aduersarie to thee, for thi weie is weiward, and contrarye to me;
Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wohwe wʼafunumu no mprɛnsa saa? Maba sɛ merebɛka ama woagyae, ɛfiri sɛ, worepɛ adeɛ asɛe.
33 and if the femal asse hadde not bowid a wey fro the weie, and youe place to ayenstondere, Y hadde slayn thee, and sche schulde lyue.
Afunumu no hunuu me mprɛnsa a emu biara ɔkwae faa baabi; anyɛ saa a, anka mɛkum wo na magyaa no.”
34 Balaam seide, Y synnede, not witynge that thou stodist ayens me; and now, if it displesith thee that Y go, Y schal turne ayen.
Afei, Balaam ka kyerɛɛ Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Mafom. Na mennim sɛ wowɔ hɔ. Sɛ wompɛ sɛ metoa mʼakwantuo no so deɛ a, meresane akɔ efie.”
35 The aungel seide, Go thou with these men, but be war that thou speke not other thing than Y schal comaunde to thee. Therfor Balaam yede with the princes.
Nanso, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo ne nnipa no nkɔ, nanso asɛm a mɛka akyerɛ wo no nko na ka.” Enti Balaam ne wɔn kɔeɛ.
36 And whanne Balaach hadde herde this, he yede out in to the comyng of hym, in the citee of Moabitis, whiche is set in the laste coostis of Arnon.
Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Balak tee sɛ Balaam reba no, ɔfirii kuro no mu kɔhyiaa no Asubɔnten Arnon ho wɔ ne hyeɛ so.
37 And he seide to Balaam, Y sente messangeris to clepe thee; whi camest thou not anoon to me? whethir for Y may not yelde meede to thi comyng?
Ɔbisaa Balaam sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wokyɛɛ saa? Anaasɛ, mehyɛɛ wo bɔ sɛ mɛhyɛ wo animuonyam no na wonnye nni?”
38 To whom Balaam answeride, Lo! Y am present, whethir Y schal mow speke other thing than that, that God schal putte in my mouth?
Balaam buaa sɛ, “Ɛwom sɛ maba deɛ, nanso menni tumi biara a mɛka asɛm biara agye asɛm a Onyankopɔn bɛka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no nko na mɛka.”
39 Therfor thei yeden forth to gidere, and camen in to a citee, which was in the laste coost of `his rewme.
Balaam kaa ɔhene no ho ne no kɔɔ Kiria-Husot,
40 And whanne Balaach hadde slayn scheep and oxun, he sente yiftis to Balaam and the princes that weren with hym.
baabi a ɔhene Balak de anantwie ne nnwan bɔɔ afɔdeɛ na ɔde mmoa no bi maa Balaam ne ne mpanimfoɔ sɛ wɔmfa mmɔ afɔdeɛ no.
41 Forsothe whanne the morewtid was maad, Balaach ledde Balaam to the hiye placis of Baal, and he bihelde the laste part of the puple, `that is, al the oost til to the laste part.
Adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, Balak faa Balaam de no kɔɔ Bamot-Baal atifi. Ɔfiri hɔ too nʼani hunuu sɛ Israelfoɔ no sam aseɛ hɔ.
