Numbers 22
1 And the sons of Israel journey and encamp in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, [by] Jericho.
Odatle se podigoše sinovi Izrailjevi, i stadoše u oko u polju Moavskom s onu stranu Jordana prema Jerihonu.
2 And Balak son of Zippor seeth all that Israel hath done to the Amorite,
I vidje Valak sin Seforov sve što uèini Izrailj Amoreju,
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,
I uplaši se Moav od naroda veoma; jer ga bješe mnogo, i prituži Moavu od sinova Izrailjevijeh.
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,
Pa reèe Moav starješinama Madijanskim: sada æe ova množina pojesti sve što je oko nas kao vo travu u polju. A Valak sin Seforov bješe u ono vrijeme car Moavski.
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;
I posla poslanike k Valamu sinu Veorovu u Faturu, koja je na rijeci u zemlji naroda njegova, govoreæi: evo narod izide iz Misira, evo prekrilio je zemlju, i stoji prema meni.
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.'
Nego hodi, prokuni mi ovaj narod, jer je jaèi od mene, eda bih mu odolio i pobio ga ili istjerao iz zemlje ove; jer znam, koga blagosloviš biæe blagosloven, a koga prokuneš biæe proklet.
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,
I otidoše starješine Moavske i starješine Madijanske noseæi darove za vraèanje; i doðoše k Valamu, i kazaše mu rijeèi Valakove.
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.
A on im reèe: ostanite ovdje ovu noæ, i odgovoriæu vam kako mi Gospod kaže. I ostaše knezovi Moavski kod Valama.
9 And God cometh in unto Balaam, and saith, 'Who [are] these men with thee?'
A Bog doðe k Valamu i reèe mu: kakvi su to ljudi kod tebe?
10 And Balaam saith unto God, 'Balak, son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me:
I reèe Valam Bogu: Valak sin Seforov, car Moavski, posla ih k meni govoreæi:
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;'
Evo narod izide iz Misira i prekrili zemlju; nego hodi, prokuni mi ga, eda bih ga nadbio i otjerao ga.
12 and God saith unto Balaam, 'Thou dost not go with them; thou dost not curse the people; for it [is] blessed.'
A Bog reèe Valamu: ne idi s njima, niti kuni toga naroda, jer je blagosloven.
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;'
I ujutru ustavši Valam reèe knezovima Valakovijem: vratite se u svoju zemlju, jer mi ne da Bog da idem s vama.
14 and the princes of Moab rise, and come in unto Balak, and say, 'Balaam is refusing to come with us.'
I ustavši knezovi Moavski doðoše k Valaku, i rekoše: ne htje Valam poæi s nama.
15 And Balak addeth yet to send princes, more numerous and honoured than these,
Tada opet posla Valak više knezova i veæe od prvijeh.
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,
I oni došavši k Valamu rekoše mu: ovako veli Valak sin Seforov: nemoj se zatezati, molim te, nego doði k meni.
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.'
Jer æu te dobro darivati, i što mi god reèeš èiniæu; zato doði, molim te, prokuni mi ovaj narod.
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;
A Valam odgovori i reèe slugama Valakovijem: da mi da Valak kuæu svoju punu srebra i zlata, ne bih mogao prestupiti rijeèi Gospoda Boga svojega da uèinim što malo ili veliko.
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.'
Ali opet ostanite ovdje i vi ovu noæ, da vidim što æe mi sada kazati Gospod.
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.'
I doðe Bog noæu k Valamu i reèe mu: kad su došli ti ljudi da te zovu, ustani, idi s njima, ali što ti kažem ono da èiniš.
21 And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saddleth his ass, and goeth with the princes of Moab,
I ujutru ustavši Valam osamari magaricu svoju, i poðe s knezovima Moavskim.
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,
Ali se razgnjevi Bog što on poðe; i stade anðeo Gospodnji na put da mu ne da; a on sjeðaše na magarici svojoj i imaše sa sobom dva momka svoja.
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.
A kad magarica vidje anðela Gospodnjega gdje stoji na putu s golijem maèem u ruci, svrnu magarica s puta i poðe preko polja. A Valam je stade biti da je vrati na put.
24 And the messenger of Jehovah standeth in a narrow path of the vineyards — a wall on this [side] and a wall on that —
A anðeo Gospodnji stade na stazu meðu vinogradima, a bijaše zid i odovud i odonud.
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;
I magarica videæi anðela Gospodnjega pribi se uz drugi zid, i pritište nogu Valamovu o zid; a on je stade opet biti.
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 —
Potom anðeo Gospodnji otide dalje, i stade u tjesnacu, gdje ne bješe mjesta da se svrne ni nadesno ni nalijevo.
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.
I magarica videæi anðela Gospodnjega pade pod Valamom, a Valam se vrlo razljuti, i stade biti magaricu svojim štapom.
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?'
Tada Gospod otvori usta magarici, te ona reèe Valamu: šta sam ti uèinila, te me biješ veæ treæi put?
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;'
A Valam reèe magarici: što mi prkosiš? da imam maè u ruci, sad bih te ubio.
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.'
A magarica reèe Valamu: nijesam li tvoja magarica? jašeš me otkako sam postala tvoja do danas; jesam li ti kad tako uèinila? A on reèe: nijesi.
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;
Tada Gospod otvori oèi Valamu, koji ugleda anðela Gospodnjega gdje stoji na putu s golijem maèem u ruci. I on savi glavu i pokloni se licem svojim.
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,
I reèe mu anðeo Gospodnji: zašto si bio magaricu svoju veæ tri puta? evo ja izidoh da ti ne dam, jer tvoj put nije meni po volji.
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.'
Kad me ugleda magarica, ona se ukloni ispred mene veæ tri puta; a da se nije uklonila ispred mene, tebe bih veæ ubio a nju bih ostavio u životu.
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.'
A Valam reèe anðelu Gospodnjemu: zgriješio sam, jer nijesam znao da ti stojiš preda mnom na putu; ako tebi nije po volji, ja æu se vratiti.
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.
A anðeo Gospodnji reèe Valamu: idi s tijem ljudima, ali samo ono govori što ti ja kažem. Tada Valam otide s knezovima Valakovim.
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;
A kad èu Valak da ide Valam, izide mu na susret u grad Moavski na meði Arnonskoj nakraj meðe.
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?'
I reèe Valak Valamu: nijesam li slao k tebi i zvao te? zašto mi ne doðe? eda li te ne mogu darivati?
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.'
A Valam reèe Valaku: evo sam došao k tebi; ali hoæu li moæi što govoriti? Što mi Bog metne u usta, ono æu govoriti.
39 And Balaam goeth with Balak, and they come to Kirjath-Huzoth,
I otide Valam s Valakom, i doðoše u grad Uzot.
40 and Balak sacrificeth oxen and sheep, and sendeth to Balaam, and to the princes who [are] with him;
I nakla Valak volova i ovaca, i posla Valamu i knezovima, koji bijahu s njim.
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.
A ujutru uze Valak Valama i odvede ga na visinu Valovu, i odande mu pokaza jedan kraj naroda.
