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 journeyed, and pitched in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at 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 unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab 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.
And he sent messengers unto Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to 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 thee, 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 thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest 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 unto Balaam, and spake unto 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 unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
9 Immay ti Dios kenni Balaam ket kinunana, “Siasino dagitoy a lallaki nga immay kenka?”
And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
10 Simmungbat ni Balaam iti Dios, “Imbaon ida kaniak ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor, ti ari iti Moab. Kinunana,
And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto 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, the people that is come out of Egypt, it covereth the face of the earth: now, come curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to fight against them, and shall 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 unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt 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 unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth 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 unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth 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 honourable 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 saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto 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 thee unto very great honour, and whatsoever thou sayest unto me I will do: come therefore, I pray thee, 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 unto 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 ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will speak unto 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 unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men be come to call thee, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak unto thee, that shalt thou 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 placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon 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, with 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.
Then the angel of the LORD stood in a hollow way between the vineyards, a fence being on this side, and a fence 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 the ass saw the angel of the LORD, and she thrust herself unto 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 the ass saw the angel of the LORD, and she lay down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with his 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 unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast 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 unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now I had killed thee.
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 unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden all thy life long unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
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, with his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed his head, and fell 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 unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I am come forth for an adversary, because thy 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 aside before me these three times: unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I had even slain thee, 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 unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, 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 unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt 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 unto the City of Moab, which is on the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border.
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 unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?
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 unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to speak any thing? the word that God putteth 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 unto Kiriath-huzoth.
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 sacrificed 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 in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, and he saw from thence the utmost part of the people.
