Numbers 22
1 And the sons of Israel journey and encamp in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, [by] Jericho.
Te phoeiah Israel ca rhoek te cet uh tih Jerikho kah Jordan rhalvangan phai, Moab kolken ah rhaeh uh.
2 And Balak son of Zippor seeth all that Israel hath done to the Amorite,
Israel loh Amori taengah a saii boeih te Zippor capa Balak loh a hmuh.
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 he khaw muep a ping dongah Moab khaw pilnam mikhmuh ah bakuep. Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Moab a mueipuel.
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,
Te dongah Moab loh Midian kah a hamca rhoek taengah, “Vaito loh khohmuen kah baelhing a laem bangla mamih kaepvai kah a cungkuem he hlangping loh a laem uh pawn ni,” a ti nah. Te vaeng tue ah Moab kah manghai tah Zippor capa Balak ni.
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;
Te dongah a pilnam paca rhoek kah khohmuen tuiva kaep kah Pethor Beor capa Balaam taengah puencawn a tueih. Anih te a khue tih, “Egypt lamkah aka thoeng pilnam he, diklai hman te a khuk tih kai imdan la kho a sak he.
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.'
Te dongah halo lamtah he pilnam he kai lakah tah a tlung oeh dongah kai yueng la thaephoei thil mai laeh. Anih ngawn ham neh khohmuen lamloh anih ka haek thai khaming. Yoethen na paek hlang te a yoethen tih thae na phoei thil te tah thaephoei a yook te ka ming,” a ti nah.
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,
Te dongah Moab kah a hamca neh Midian kah a hamca rhoek khaw, amih kut khuikah bihma rhoek khaw cet uh. Balaam taengla a pha uh vaengah a taengah Balak ol te a thui uh.
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.
Te vaengah amih te, “Hlaem at khaw pahoi rhaeh uh lamtah BOEIPA loh kai taengah a thui bangla nangmih taengah ol kam mael bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Moab mangpa rhoek tah Balaam taengah om uh.
9 And God cometh in unto Balaam, and saith, 'Who [are] these men with thee?'
Te vaengah Pathen loh Balaam te a paan tih, “Na taengkah rhoek he u hlang nim?” a ti nah.
10 And Balaam saith unto God, 'Balak, son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me:
Balaam loh Pathen taengah, “Moab manghai Zippor capa Balak loh kai taengla han tueih.
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;'
Egypt lamkah aka pawk pilnam loh diklai hman a khuk coeng ke. Te dongah halo anih te kai yueng la tap laeh. Anih tloek ham neh anih haek ham a coeng khaming,” a ti nah.
12 and God saith unto Balaam, 'Thou dost not go with them; thou dost not curse the people; for it [is] blessed.'
Pathen loh Balaam te, “Amih taengah cet boeh, pilnam te a yoethen coeng tih thaephoei boeh,” a ti nah.
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;'
Te dongah Balaam te mincang ah thoo tih Balak kah mangpa rhoek te, “Nangmih taengah kai caeh sak ham khaw BOEIPA loh a aal dongah namah kho la cet uh laeh,” a ti nah.
14 and the princes of Moab rise, and come in unto Balak, and say, 'Balaam is refusing to come with us.'
Te dongah Moab mangpa rhoek tah thoo uh tih Balak taengla pawk uh. Te vaengah, “Balaam loh kaimih taengah lo ham a aal,” a ti nah.
15 And Balak addeth yet to send princes, more numerous and honoured than these,
Tedae Balak loh amih lakah a yet ngai neh aka lalh ngai mangpa rhoek te a koei tih koep a tueih.
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,
Balaam taengla a pawk uh vaengah amah te, “Zippor capa Balak loh, 'Kai taengla na lo ham te uelh boeh.
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 te muep kan thangpom rhoe kan thangpom vetih kai taengah na thui boeih te ka ngai bitni. Te dongah halo lamtah he pilnam he kai yueng la tap mai,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
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;
Tedae Balaam loh a doo tih Balak kah sal taengah, “Kai he Balak loh a im kah a bae la cak neh sui m'pae cakhaw Ka Pathen BOEIPA kah olka tah ka poe ham a coeng moenih, a yit a len khaw ngai ham ni.
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.'
Te dongah nangmih khaw he ah he hlaem at om uh mai laeh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA loh kai taengah thui hamla mebang a thap khaw ka ming eh?,” a ti nah.
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.'
Khoyin ah tah Pathen te Balaam taengla cet tih amah te, “Nang te khue ham hlang rhoek ha pawk atah thoo lamtah amih neh cet. Tedae nang taengah kanthui ol mah ngai,” a ti nah.
21 And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saddleth his ass, and goeth with the princes of Moab,
Balaam te mincang ah thoo tih a laak te a khih tih Moab mangpa rhoek taengla cet.
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,
Tedae anih a caeh dongah Pathen thintoek te sai. Te dongah BOEIPA puencawn tah anih te longpueng ah khingkhoekkung bangla a pai pah. Te vaengah amah te a laak dongah ngol tih a taengah a tueihyoeih rhoi om.
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.
Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn tah longpuei ah pai tih a kut dongah a cunghang a yueh te laak loh a hmuh. Te dongah laak te long lamloh hooi uh tih lohma la cet. Te dongah longpuei la mael sak ham Balaam lohlaak te a taam.
24 And the messenger of Jehovah standeth in a narrow path of the vineyards — a wall on this [side] and a wall on that —
Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn te misurdum kah longcaek ah a pai pah. He ah khaw vongtung, ke ah khaw vongtung a om pah.
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;
Laak loh BOEIPA kah puencawn te a hmuh vaengah pangbueng te a nen tih Balaam kho te pangbueng dongah a nen thil. Te dongah laak a taam te a khoep.
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 —
Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh koep a kan tih banvoei bantang la mael ham la longpuei aka om pawh hmuen ah a caek la pai.
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.
Laak loh BOEIPA kah puencawn te a hmuh vaengah Balaam dangah a kol pah. Te vaengah Balaam thintoek te sai tih laak te conghol neh a taam.
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?'
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh laak kah aka te a ong pah tih Balaam te, “Nang taengah balae ka saii tih kai thik thum nan boh,” a ti nah.
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 loh laak te, “Kai he nan poelyoe dongah he, ka kut ah cunghang om vetih nang kang ngawn laeh mako,” a ti nah.
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.'
Laak loh Balaam te, “Kai he nang kah laak moenih a? Kai soah he tahae khohnin due koep na ngol, he he nang taengah saii ham ka hmaiben khaw ka hmaiben nim?,” a ti vaengah, “Pawh,” a ti nah.
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;
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Balaam mik te a phen pah. Te dongah a kut ah a cunghang a pom tih longpuei ah aka pai BOEIPA kah puencawn te a hmuh. Te daengah buluk tih a thintoek neh bakop.
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,
BOEIPA kah puencawn loh anih te, “Balae tih na laak te thik thum na boh, ka hmai ah longpuei a mueng dongah kai he khingkhoekkung la ka pawk.
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.'
Laak loh kai m'hmuh dongah ka mikhmuh lamloh voei thum a rhael. Ka mikhmuh lamloh rhael pawt koinih nang te khaw kang ngawn pawn vetih anih bueng ka hing sak khaming.
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 loh BOEIPA kah puencawn taengah, “Longpuei ah kai mah ham na pai te ka ming pawt dongah ka tholh coeng. Na mik ah a thae oeh atah kai he ka mael voithum mael pawn ni,” a ti nah.
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.
BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Balaam te, “Hlang rhoek neh cet lamtah nang taengah ka thui ol te mah thui,” a ti nah. Te dongah Balaam khaw Balak kah mangpa rhoek taengah cet.
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 halo te Balak loh a yaak van neh khorhi khobawt, Arnon khorhi kah Moab khopuei ah anih te doe hamla cet.
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?'
Te vaengah Balak loh Balaam te, “Nang te khue ham nang taengah kan tueih rhoe kan tueih moenih a? Balae tih kai taengla na lo pawh, nang thangpom ham ka coeng tang moenih a?” a ti nah.
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 loh Balak te, “Nang taengla ka pawk coeng he, ol pakhat khaw thui ham ka coeng khaw ka coeng venim? Pathen loh ka ka dongah a khueh te ka thui eh?,” a ti nah.
39 And Balaam goeth with Balak, and they come to Kirjath-Huzoth,
Te phoeiah Balaam te Balak taengah cet tih Kirjathhuzoth la pawk rhoi.
40 and Balak sacrificeth oxen and sheep, and sendeth to Balaam, and to the princes who [are] with him;
Te vaengah Balak loh saelhung neh boiva khaw a ngawn tih Balaam taeng neh amah taengkah mangpa rhoek taengah a thak.
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.
Mincang a pha vaengah Balak loh Balaam te a loh tih Bamothbaal la a khuen. Te vaengah pilnam a bawtnah lamloh pahoi tueng.
