Numero 22
1 Intultuloy dagiti Israelita ti nagdaliasat agingga a nagkampoda kadagiti patad a lugar ti Moab nga asideg iti Jerico, iti ballasiw ti Karayan Jordan manipud iti siudad.
And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
2 Nakita ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor ti amin nga inaramid dagiti Israelita kadagiti Amorreo.
And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
3 Kasta unay ti buteng ti Moab kadagiti tattao gapu ta aduda, ken nagamak ti Moab kadagiti Israelita.
And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
4 Kinuna ti ari ti Moab kadagiti panglakayen iti Midianita, “Kanento dagitoy a bunggoy ti amin nga adda iti aglawlawtayo kas panagarab ti baka iti ruroot iti talon.” Ita, ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor ket isu ti ari ti Moab iti dayta a tiempo.
And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
5 Nangibaon ni Balak kadagiti mensahero kenni Balaam nga anak ni Beor, idiay Petor nga asideg iti Karayan Eufrates, iti daga ti nasionna ken tattaona. Inayabanna ni Balaam ket kinunana, “Kitaem, ummay ditoy ti maysa a nasion a naggapu idiay Egipto. Kalkalubanda ti rupa ti daga ket addadan ita iti asidegko.
He sent messengers therefore to Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:
6 Isu a pangngaasim ta umayka itan ket ilunodmo daytoy a nasion para kaniak, gapu ta napigsada unay para kaniak. Nalabit a kabaelakton ida a darupen ken patalawen manipud iti daga. Ammok a mabendisionanto ti siasinoman a bendisionam, ken mailunodto ti siasinoman nga ilunodmo.”
Come now therefore, I pray you, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.
7 Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti panglakayen iti Moabita ken dagiti panglakayen dagiti Midianita nga awit-awitda ti bayad iti panangilunod. Dimtengda iti ayan ni Balaam ket imbagada kenkuana dagiti sasao ni Balak.
And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.
8 Kinuna ni Balaam kadakuada, “Umiankayo ditoy ita a rabii. Ibagakto kadakayo ti ibaga ni Yahweh kaniak.” Immian ngarud dagiti pangulo iti Moabita iti ayan ni Balaam ti dayta a rabii.
And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me: and the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
9 Immay ti Dios kenni Balaam ket kinunana, “Siasino dagitoy a lallaki nga immay kenka?”
And God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with you?
10 Simmungbat ni Balaam iti Dios, “Imbaon ida kaniak ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor, ti ari iti Moab. Kinunana,
And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying,
11 “Kitaem, dagiti tattao a naggapu iti Egipto ket kinalubanda ti rabaw ti dagak. Umayka itan ket ilunodmo ida para kaniak. Nalabit a kabaelakto a karanget ida ken mapatalawko ida,'”
Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covers the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
12 Insungbat ti Dios kenni Balaam, “Saan a rumbeng a sumurotka kadagitoy a lallaki. Saan a rumbeng nga ilunodmo dagiti Israelita gapu ta nabendisionandan.”
And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people: for they are blessed.
13 Bimmangon ni Balaam iti bigat ket kinunana kadagiti papangulo ni Balak, “Agsublikayon iti dagayo gapu ta saan nga impalubos ni Yahweh a sumurotak kadakayo.”
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuses to give me leave to go with you.
14 Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti papangulo ti Moab ket nagsublida kenni Balak. Kinunada, “Nagkedked ni Balaam a sumurot kadakami.”
And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuses to come with us.
15 Nangibaon manen ni Balak iti ad-adu a papangulo nga ad-adda a mararaem ngem kadagiti immuna a bunggoy.
And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.
16 Dimtengda iti ayan ni Balaam ket kinunada kenkuana, “Ibagbaga daytoy ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor, “Pangngaasim ta saanmo nga ipalubos nga adda makalapped kenka iti iyaaymo kaniak,
And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray you, hinder you from coming to me:
17 gapu ta bayadanka iti nawadwad ken raemenka iti kasta unay, ken aramidek ti aniaman nga ibagam kaniak. Isu a pangngaasim ta umayka ket ilunodmo dagitoy a tattao para kaniak.'”
For I will promote you to very great honor, and I will do whatever you say to me: come therefore, I pray you, curse me this people.
18 Simmungbat ni Balaam ket kinunana kadagiti tattao ni Balak, “Uray no ited kaniak ni Balak ti palasiona a napnoan iti pirak ken balitok, saan a mabalin nga un-unaak ti sao ni Yahweh a Diosko, ken aramiden ti kabassitan ken kadakkelan a banag ngem iti ibagbagana kaniak.
And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
19 Ita ngarud, aguraykayo met ditoy ita a rabii, tapno maammoak ti aniaman a mainayon nga ibaga ni Yahweh kaniak.”
Now therefore, I pray you, tarry you also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say to me more.
20 Immay ti Dios kenni Balaam iti dayta a rabii ket kinunana kenkuana, “Agsipud ta immay dagitoy a lallaki a mangay-ayab kenka, agrubwatka ket sumurotka kadakuada. Ngem aramidem laeng ti ibagak kenka.”
And God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men come to call you, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say to you, that shall you do.
21 Bimmangon ni Balaam iti agsapa, sinilyaanna ti asnona, ket kimmuyog kadagiti pangulo ti Moab.
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
22 Ngem gapu ta napan isuna, nariing ti pungtot ti Dios. Nagtakder ti anghel ni Yahweh iti dalan tapno lapdanna ni Balaam a sisasakay iti asnona. Kadua met ni Balaam dagiti dua nga adipenna.
And God’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his ass, and his two servants were with him.
23 Nakita ti asno ti anghel ni Yahweh nga agtaktakder iti kalsada nga iggemna ti kampilanna. Simmina iti kalsada ti asno ket nagturong iti kataltalonan. Sinaplitan ni Balaam ti asno tapno agsubli daytoy iti kalsada.
And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
24 Ket nagtakder manen ti anghel ni Yahweh iti nailet a paset ti kalsada a nagbaetan dagiti kaubasan, nga adda bakud iti makannawanna kasta met iti makannigidna.
But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
25 Nakita manen ti asno ti anghel ni Yahweh. Impilitna ti lumsot iti bakud ket naipit ti saka ni Balaam. Sinaplitan manen ni Balaam ti asno.
And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
26 Immun-una ti anghel ni Yahweh ket timmakder iti sabali pay a nailet a disso nga awanen ti dalan a mabalin a paglusotan.
And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27 Nakita ti asno ti anghel ni Yahweh, ket inyiddanan a sisasakay pay laeng ni Balaam kenkuana. Ad-adda a nagpungtot ni Balaam, ket imbaotna ti bastonna iti asno.
And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
28 Ket linukatan ni Yahweh ti ngiwat ti asno tapno makasao daytoy. Kinunana kenni Balaam, “Ania ti inaramidko kenka tapno ablatannak iti mamitlo a daras?”
And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have smitten me these three times?
29 Simmungbat ni Balaam iti asno, “Gapu ta pagbalbalinennak a maag. Adda la koma kampilan iti imak. Ta no adda, napatayka koma itan.”
And Balaam said to the ass, Because you have mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill you.
30 Kinuna ti asno kenni Balaam, “Saan kadi a siak ti asnom a sinaksakayam iti las-ud iti panagbiagmo inggana ita? Adda kadin inaramidko a kastoy idi?” “Awan,” kinuna ni Balaam.
And the ass said to Balaam, Am not I your ass, on which you have ridden ever since I was your to this day? was I ever wont to do so to you? And he said, No.
31 Kalpasanna, linukatan ni Yahweh ti mata ni Balaam, ket nakitana ti anghel ni Yahweh a sitaktakder iti kalsada nga adda iggemna a kampilan. Nagdumog ni Balaam ket nagpakleb isuna.
Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
32 Kinuna ti anghel ni Yahweh kenkuana. “Apay a sinaplitam ti asnom iti namitlo? Kitaem, immayak a manglapped kenka gapu ta dakes iti imatangko ti ar-aramidem.
And the angel of the LORD said to him, Why have you smitten your ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand you, because your way is perverse before me:
33 Nakitanak ti asno ket linisiannak iti namitlo a daras. No saannak a linisian, napatayka koma ket naispal ti biagna.”
And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain you, and saved her alive.
34 Kinuna ni Balaam iti anghel ni Yahweh, “Nagbasolak. Saanko nga ammo nga agtaktakderka iti kalsada a manglaplapped kaniak. Ita ngarud, no saan a makaay-ayo kenka daytoy a panagdaliasatko, agsubliak iti naggapuak.”
And Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that you stood in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease you, I will get me back again.
35 Ngem kinuna ti anghel ni Yahweh kenni Balaam, “Kumuyogka latta kadagiti lallaki. Ngem masapul a dagiti sasao laeng nga ibagak kenka ti ibagam.” Simmurot ngarud ni Balaam kadagiti papangulo ni Balak.
And the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
36 Idi nadamag ni Balak a paumayen ni Balaam, rimmuar isuna tapno sabtenna ni Balaam iti siudad ti Moab idiay Arnon nga adda iti nagbeddengan.
And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him to a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.
37 Kinuna ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Saan kadi a nangibaonak kadagiti lallaki a mangayab kenka? Apay a saanka nga immay kaniak? Saanko kadi a kabaelan a raemenka?”
And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to you to call you? why came you not to me? am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?
38 Ket simmungbat ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Kitaem, addaakon iti ayanmo. Adda kadin kalintegak nga agsao iti aniaman a banag? Ti laeng maibagak ket dagiti sasao ti Dios nga ikabkabilna iti ngiwatko.”
And Balaam said to Balak, See, I am come to you: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.
39 Simmurot ni Balaam kenni Balak, ket nakadanonda idiay Kiriat Husot.
And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjathhuzoth.
40 Kalpasanna, nangidaton ni Balak iti baka ken karnero ket nangted isuna iti sumagmamano a karne kenni Balaam ken kadagiti pangulo a kakaduana.
And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
41 Kabigatanna, inkuyog ni Balak ni Balaam a simmang-at idiay Bamot Baal. Manipud sadiay, dagiti laeng bassit a paset ti kampo dagiti Israelita ti nakita ni Balaam.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that there he might see the utmost part of the people.
