Numbers 22
1 And the sons of Israel journey and encamp in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, [by] Jericho.
To pacoengah Israel kaminawk loe Moab azawn ah caeh o moe, Moab prae azawn, Jordan vapui taeng, Jeriko vangpui maeto bangah atai o.
2 And Balak son of Zippor seeth all that Israel hath done to the Amorite,
Israel kaminawk mah Amor kami nuiah sak o ih hmuen to, Zippor capa Balak mah hnuk boih.
3 and Moab is exceedingly afraid of the presence of the people, for it [is] numerous; and Moab is vexed by the presence of the sons of Israel,
Israel kaminawk loe pop o parai pongah, Moab kaminawk mah nihcae to paroeai zit o.
4 and Moab saith unto the elders of Midian, 'Now doth the assembly lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the green thing of the field.' And Balak son of Zippor [is] king of Moab at that time,
Moab kaminawk mah Midian kacoehtanawk khaeah, Maitaw tae mah palai hoiah taw ih qam takoih boih baktih toengah, haeah amkhueng kaminawk mah aicae taengah kaom hmuennawk to caa o boih tih boeh, tiah a naa o. To nathuem ah Zippor capa Balak to Moab siangpahrang ah oh.
5 and he sendeth messengers unto Balaam son of Beor, to Pethor, which [is] by the River of the land of the sons of his people, to call for him, saying, 'Lo, a people hath come out of Egypt; lo, it hath covered the eye of the land, and it is abiding over-against me;
Ammon prae thungah kalong vapui taengah kaom, Pethor vangpui ih kami, Beor capa Baalam to kawk hanah laicaehnawk to patoeh. Balak mah, Izip prae hoi angzo acaeng maeto loe, prae koimongah ka taengah atai o boeh.
6 and now, come, I pray thee, curse for me this people, for it [is] mightier than I; it may be I prevail — we smite it — and I cast it out from the land; for I have known — that which thou blessest is blessed, and that which thou cursest is cursed.'
To pongah vaihi angzo ah, hae kaminawk loe kai pongah thacak o, to pongah kai hanah nihcae to tangoeng paeh; to tiah na sak nahaeloe nihcae ka tuk naah, prae thung hoiah ka haek thai khoe doeh om tih; nang mah tahamhoihaih na paek ih kaminawk loe tahamhoihaih a hnuk o moe, na tangoeng ih kaminawk loe tangoeng ah oh o, tiah ka panoek, tiah a naa.
7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian go, and divinations in their hand, and they come in unto Balaam, and speak unto him the words of Balak,
Moab hoi Midian kacoehtanawk loe tahmaa mah thuih ih lok to atho paek hanah, tangqum to sin o moe, a caeh o; Balaam khaeah a phak o naah, Balak mah thuih ih lok to anih khaeah thuih pae o.
8 and he saith unto them, 'Lodge here to-night, and I have brought you back word, as Jehovah speaketh unto me;' and the princes of Moab abide with Balaam.
Balaam mah nihcae khaeah, Vaiduem loe haeah cam o raeh; Angraeng mah paek ih lok to kang thuih o han hmang, tiah a naa. To pongah Moab ukkung angraengnawk loe to ah Balaam hoi nawnto oh o.
9 And God cometh in unto Balaam, and saith, 'Who [are] these men with thee?'
Balaam khaeah Sithaw angzoh moe, Nang khaeah kaom kaminawk loe kawbaktih kaminawk maw? tiah a dueng.
10 And Balaam saith unto God, 'Balak, son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me:
Balaam mah Sithaw khaeah, Zippor capa, Moab siangpahrang Balak mah hae kaminawk hae kai khaeah ang patoeh,
11 Lo, the people that is coming out from Egypt and covereth the eye of the land, — now come, pierce it for me; it may be I am able to fight against it, and have cast it out;'
khenah, Izip prae hoi angzo kaminawk loe, prae koimongah oh o boeh; to pongah vaihi angzo ah loe, hae kaminawk hae kai hanah tangoeng pae ah; to tih nahaeloe hae kaminawk hae ka tuh pazawk ueloe, ka haek thai khoe doeh om tih, tiah ang thuih o, tiah a naa.
12 and God saith unto Balaam, 'Thou dost not go with them; thou dost not curse the people; for it [is] blessed.'
Toe Sithaw mah Balaam khaeah, Nihcae hnukah caeh hmah; to kaminawk loe tahamhoih kami ah oh o pongah, tangoeng hmah, tiah a naa.
13 And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saith unto the princes of Balak, 'Go unto your land, for Jehovah is refusing to suffer me to go with you;'
Balaam loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, Balak ih toksah angraengnawk khaeah, Nangmacae prae ah amlaem o lai ah, Angraeng mah nangcae hnukah na bangsak ai, tiah a naa.
14 and the princes of Moab rise, and come in unto Balak, and say, 'Balaam is refusing to come with us.'
To pongah Moab ukkung angraengnawk loe Balak khaeah amlaem o let moe, anih khaeah, Balaam loe kaicae hnukah bang hanah angmak khruek, tiah a naa o.
15 And Balak addeth yet to send princes, more numerous and honoured than these,
To naah Balak mah hmaloe ah patoeh ih ukkungnawk pongah kapop, ahmin kamthang kue kalah ukkung angraengnawk to laicaeh ah patoeh let.
16 and they come in unto Balaam, and say to him, 'Thus said Balak son of Zippor, Be not, I pray thee, withheld from coming unto me,
Nihcae Balaam khaeah angzoh o moe, anih khaeah, Zippor capa Balak mah, Kai khae angzoh han ai ah, tih mah doeh pakaa hmah nasoe;
17 for very greatly I honour thee, and all that thou sayest unto me I do; and come, I pray thee, pierce for me this people.'
nang to kasang ah kang pakoeh moe, na thuih ih hmuen to kang sak pae boih han; to pongah angzo ah loe, hae kaminawk hae kai hanah na tangoeng paeh, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa o.
18 And Balaam answereth and saith unto the servants of Balak, 'If Balak doth give to me the fulness of his house of silver and gold, I am not able to pass over the command of Jehovah my God, to do a little or a great thing;
Toe Balaam mah, Balak ih tamnanawk khaeah, Balak mah sui, sum kanglung hoi koimongah kaom angmah ih siangpahrang im to na paek langlacadoeh, zetta ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe pop parai ah maw, ka Angraeng mah paek ih lok pong kamtlai ah tidoeh ka sah mak ai.
19 and, now, abide, I pray you, in this [place], you also, to-night; and I know what Jehovah is adding to speak with me.'
To pongah nangcae doeh, Vaiduem loe haeah cam o raeh; Angraeng mah timaw na thui vop tih, tito tahngai rae si, tiah a naa.
20 And God cometh in unto Balaam, by night, and saith to him, 'If to call for thee the men have come, rise, go with them, and only the thing which I speak unto thee — it thou dost do.'
To naduem ah Sithaw Balaam khaeah caeh moe, anih khaeah, Kai nang kawk hanah kaminawk angzo o nahaeloe, angthawk ah loe, nihcae hoi nawnto caeh ah; toe kang thuih ih lok khue ni na sak han oh, tiah a naa.
21 And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saddleth his ass, and goeth with the princes of Moab,
Balaam loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk, laa hrang nuiah anghnut moe, Moab ukkung angraengnawk hoi nawnto a caeh.
22 and the anger of God burneth because he is going, and a messenger of Jehovah stationeth himself in the way for an adversary to him, and he is riding on his ass, and two of his servants [are] with him,
Nihcae hoi nawnto a caeh pongah, Sithaw palungphui; nihcae to pakaa hanah Angraeng ih van kami to loklam ah angdoet khoep. Balaam loe angmah ih laa hrang nuiah angthueng moe, a tamna hnetto hoi nawnto a caeh.
23 and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and the ass turneth aside out of the way, and goeth into a field, and Balaam smiteth the ass to turn it aside into the way.
Angraeng ih van kami loe a ban ah sumsen to sin moe, loklam ah angdoet khoep, tiah laa hrang mah hnuk naah, hrang loe loklam amkhraeng moe, lawk bangah caeh ving; to loklam ah a caeh let thai hanah, Balaam mah laa hrang to boh.
24 And the messenger of Jehovah standeth in a narrow path of the vineyards — a wall on this [side] and a wall on that —
Misur takha salak ih loklam ah a caeh naah, Angraeng ih van kami to angdoet moe, hae bangah doeh ho bangah doeh sipae thungh pae khoep.
25 and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah, and is pressed unto the wall, and presseth Balaam's foot unto the wall, and he addeth to smite her;
Laa hrang mah Angraeng ih van kami to hnuk let naah, sipae to a daeng hmop moe, Balaam ih khok daeng pae ngawng; to naah Balaam mah hrang to boh let bae.
26 and the messenger of Jehovah addeth to pass over, and standeth in a strait place where there is no way to turn aside — right or left —
To pacoengah Angraeng ih van kami loe hmabang ah caeh moe, banqoi bantang angqoi han kaom ai tamcaek loklam ah angdoet pae khoep.
27 and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah, and croucheth under Balaam, and the anger of Balaam burneth, and he smiteth the ass with a staff.
Laa hrang mah Angraeng ih van kami to hnuk let naah, Balaam tlim ah tabok pae; to naah Balaam palungphui moe, cunghet hoiah laa hrang to boh let.
28 And Jehovah openeth the mouth of the ass, and she saith to Balaam, 'What have I done to thee that thou hast smitten me these three times?'
To naah Angraeng mah laa hrang ih pakha to paongh pae, hrang mah Balaam khaeah, Kawbang maw kang naa moe, kai vai thumto nang boh? tiah a naa.
29 and Balaam saith to the ass, 'Because thou hast rolled thyself against me; oh that there were a sword in my hand, for now I had slain thee;'
Balaam mah laa hrang khaeah, Kai hae tiah doeh nang sah ai; ka ban ah sumsen om nahaeloe, vaihi roe kang hum han boeh, tiah a naa.
30 and the ass saith unto Balaam, 'Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden since [I was] thine unto this day? have I at all been accustomed to do to thee thus?' and he saith, 'No.'
To naah laa hrang mah Balaam khaeah, Kai loe nang mah vaihni ni khoek to nang thueng ih, nangmah ih laa hrang ah na ai maw ka oh? Nang khaeah hae tiah ka oh vai maw? tiah Balaam hanah a naa. To naah anih mah, Hae tiah na om vai ai, tiah a naa.
31 And Jehovah uncovereth the eyes of Balaam, and he seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and he boweth and doth obeisance, to his face;
Angraeng mah Balaam ih mik to amtuengsak naah, a ban ah sumsen kasin, loklam tamcaek ah kangdoe khoep, Angraeng ih van kami to anih mah hnuk; to pongah anih loe akuep tathuk moe, long ah tabok.
32 and the messenger of Jehovah saith unto him, 'Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? lo, I — I have come out for an adversary, for [thy] way hath been perverse before me,
Angraeng ih van kami mah, Tipongah nangmah ih laa hrang to vai thumto na boh loe? Khenah, na caehhaih loklam loe kai hoi buenglueng tamlet ah oh, to pongah nangpakaa hanah kang zoh;
33 and the ass seeth me, and turneth aside at my presence these three times; unless she had turned aside from my presence, surely now also, thee I had slain, and her kept alive.'
laa hrang mah kai ang hnuk pongah, kai khae hoi loklam vai thumto amkhraeng ving; kai khae hoi amkhraeng ai nahaeloe, vaihi roe nang to kang hum moe, nang ih laa hrang to ka hingsak lat han, tiah a naa.
34 And Balaam saith unto the messenger of Jehovah, 'I have sinned, for I did not know that thou [art] standing to meet me in the way; and now, if evil in thine eyes — I turn back by myself.'
Balaam mah Angraeng ih van kami khaeah, Ka zae moeng boeh; kai pakaa hanah loklam ah nang doet, tito ka panoek ai; to pongah vaihi na koeh ai nahaeloe, kam laem let han, tiah a naa.
35 And the messenger of Jehovah saith unto Balaam, 'Go with the men; and only the word which I speak unto thee — it thou dost speak;' and Balaam goeth with the princes of Balak.
Angraeng ih van kami mah Balaam khaeah, Kaminawk hoi nawnto caeh ah, toe kang thuih ih lok khue to ni na thuih han, tiah a naa. To pongah Balaam loe Balak ih toksah angraengnawk hoi nawnto caeh.
36 And Balak heareth that Balaam hath come, and goeth out to meet him, unto a city of Moab, which [is] on the border of Arnon, which [is] in the extremity of the border;
Balaam angzoh boeh, tiah Balak mah thaih naah, anih dawt hanah, Moab prae ramri Arnon vapui taengah kaom vangpui maeto ah a caeh.
37 and Balak saith unto Balaam, 'Did I not diligently sent unto thee to call for thee? why didst thou not come unto me? am I not truly able to honour thee?'
Balak mah Balaam khaeah, Nang kawk hanah vaihi hoi vaihi kami kang patoeh na ai maw, tikhoe hae tih khoek to na kra loe? Nang hae kasang ah kang paloep mak ai, tiah na poek maw? tiah a naa.
38 And Balaam saith unto Balak, 'Lo, I have come unto thee; now — am I at all able to speak anything? the word which God setteth in my mouth — it I do speak.'
Balaam mah Balak khaeah, Khenah, vaihi nang khaeah kang zoh boeh, lok ka thui thai tih maw? Sithaw mah ka pakha thungah suek ih lok khue ni ka thuih han, tiah a naa.
39 And Balaam goeth with Balak, and they come to Kirjath-Huzoth,
To pacoengah Balaam loe Balak hoi nawnto Kirjath-Huzoth ah caeh.
40 and Balak sacrificeth oxen and sheep, and sendeth to Balaam, and to the princes who [are] with him;
Balak mah maitaw hoi tuunawk hoiah angbawnhaih to sak, to pacoengah Balaam hoi anih khaeah kaom ukkung angraengnawk hanah doeh a pat pae thoem.
41 and it cometh to pass in the morning, that Balak taketh Balaam, and causeth him to go up the high places of Baal, and he seeth from thence the extremity of the people.
Khawnbang ah loe Balak mah Balaam to kawk moe, Israel kaminawk patuek hanah, Baal sithaw ohhaih hmuensang ah a caeh haih.
