Oekyuk 22
1 Mwet Israel mukuiyak som ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos yen tupasrpasr in acn Moab, layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan ma tulanang Jericho.
And the children of Israel departed, and encamped on the west of Moab by Jordan toward Jericho.
2 Ke Balak wen natul Zippor, su tokosra lun Moab, el lohng ke ma mwet Israel oru nu sin mwet Amor ac pisen mwet Israel ma oasr we,
And when Balac son of Sepphor saw all that Israel did to the Amorite,
3 el, ac mwet lal nukewa, mutawauk in sangeng ac rarrar.
then Moab feared the people exceedingly because they were many; and Moab was grieved before the face of the children of Israel.
4 Mwet Moab fahk nu sin mwet kol lun mwet Midian, “Ac tia paht un mwet se inge ac sukela ma nukewa raunikutyak inge, oana ke soko cow mukul kangla nufon mah ke ima uh.” Ouinge Tokosra Balak
And Moab said to the elders of Madiam, Now shall this assembly lick up all that are round about us, as a calf would lick up the green [herbs] of the field: —and Balac son of Sepphor was king of Moab at that time.
5 el supwala mwet utuk kas in solalma Balaam wen natul Beor, su muta Pethor apkuran nu Infacl Euphrates in acn Amaw. Elos us kas inge sel Balak nu sel Balaam: “Nga ke akkalemye nu sum lah mutunfacl nufon se tuku Egypt me. Mwet inge osralik yen nukewa, ac nunku in eisla acn sik uh.
And he sent ambassadors to Balaam the son of Beor, to Phathura, which is on a river of the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people is come out of Egypt, and behold it has covered the face of the earth, and it has encamped close to me.
6 Elos ku liki kut, ke ma inge nunak munas fahsru fahkla sie kas in selnga nu faclos keik. Na sahp kut fah ku in kutangulosla ac luselosyak liki acn uh. Nga etu lah ke kom akinsewowoye sie mwet, el insewowo, ac ke kom selngawi sie mwet, el selngawiyuk.”
And now come, curse me this people, for it is stronger than we; if we may be able to strike some of them, and I will cast them out of the land: for I know that whoever you do bless, they are blessed, and whoever you do curse, they are cursed.
7 Ouinge kewana mwet kol lun mwet Moab ac lun mwet Midian elos us mani in moli selnga, ac som nu yorol Balaam, ac fahkang kas lal Balak nu sel.
And the elders of Moab went, and the elders of Madiam, and their divining [instruments were] in their hands; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balac.
8 Balaam el fahk nu selos, “Mongla yorosr ofong, ac lutu nga fah fahkak nu suwos kutena ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik.” Na mwet kol lun mwet Moab elos muta yorol Balaam.
And he said to them, Tarry here the night, and I will answer you the things which the Lord shall say to me; and the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
9 God El tuku nu yorol Balaam ac siyuk sel, “Su mwet muta yurum inge?”
And God came to Balaam, and said to him, Who are these men with you?
10 El topuk, “Tokosra Balak lun mwet Moab el supwalosme in fahk nu sik
And Balaam said to God, Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab, sent them to me, saying,
11 lah mutunfacl se tuku Egypt me ac oalik fin acn uh nufon. El lungse nga in selngawelos kacl, tuh elan ku in mweunelos ac luselosla.”
Behold, a people has come forth out of Egypt, and has covered the face of the land, and it has encamped near to me; and now come, curse it for me, if indeed I shall be able to strike it, and cast it out of the land.
12 God El fahk nu sel Balaam, “Nik kom wi mwet inge som. Nga akinsewowoye tari mwet Israel, na pa kom in tia selngawelos.”
And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them, neither shall you curse the people; for they are blessed.
13 Lotutang tok ah, Balaam el som nu yurin mwet lal Balak ac fahk, “Folokla nu yen suwos. LEUM GOD El tia lela nga in wi kowos som.”
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balac, Depart quickly to your lord; God does not permit me to go with you.
14 Ouinge elos folokla nu yorol Balak ac fahkang nu sel lah Balaam el srangesr welulos.
And the princes of Moab rose, and came to Balac, and said, Balaam will not come with us.
15 Na Balak el supwala sie u in mwet kol pus liki u se meet ah, ac fulat lukelos.
And Balac yet again sent more princes and more honorable than they.
16 Elos som nu yorol Balaam ac fahkang kas lal Balak inge: “Nga kwafe kom in tuku na! Nimet sang kutena ma in ikolkomi.
And they came to Balaam, and they say to him, Thus says Balac the son of Sepphor: I beseech you, delay not to come to me.
17 Nga ac moli nu sum ke sie lupa na yohk. Ma nukewa kom fahk an nga ac oru. Nunak munas, fahsru ac selngawiya mwet inge keik.”
For I will greatly honor you, and will do for you whatever you shall say; come then, curse me this people.
18 Tusruktu Balaam el topkolos ac fahk, “Balak el finne ase luk silver ac gold nukewa in lohm sel, nga enenu na in oru oana ma LEUM GOD luk El sapkin nu sik. Nga tia ku in akyokyela ku aksrikyela sap lal.
And Balaam answered and said to the princes of Balac, If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord God, to make it little or great in my mind.
19 Ke ma inge, nunak munas mongla yorosr ofong oana u se meet ah, na nga fah ku in etu lah ac oasr pac ma LEUM GOD El ac fahk nu sik.”
And now do you also wait here this night, and I shall know what the Lord will yet say to me.
20 Ke fong sac God El tuku nu yorol Balaam ac fahk, “Mwet inge fin siyuk kom in welulos som, akola kom in welulos. Tusruktu oru na ma nga fahk nu sum uh.”
And God came to Balaam by night, and said to him, If these men are come to call you, rise and follow them; nevertheless the word which I shall speak to you, it shall you do.
21 Ouinge Balaam el tukakek ke lotutang tok ah, akoela donkey natul ah, ac wi mwet kol Moab ah som.
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
22 God El kasrkusrak lah Balaam el wi som, na ke Balaam el kasrusr lin donkey natul, ac mwet kulansap luo lal atlol, lipufan lun LEUM GOD tuyak kosrala inkanek uh.
And God was very angry because he went; and the angel of the Lord rose up to withstand him. Now he had mounted his ass, and his two servants were with him.
23 Ke donkey soko ah liyauk lipufan se tu we ac sruok cutlass se, el kuhfla liki inkanek uh ac som nu inimae. Balaam el sringil donkey soko ah ac tolokunulma nu inkanek uh.
And when the ass saw the angel of God standing opposite in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, then the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field; and [Balaam] struck the ass with his staff to direct her in the way.
24 Na lipufan sac tui ke soko inkanek oasriksrik inmasrlon ima in grape luo, ac oasr pot fulat siska lac lac.
And the angel of the Lord stood in the avenues of the vines, a fence [being] on this side and a fence on that.
25 Ke donkey soko uh liyauk lipufan sac, el kalukyang nu ke sisken soko pot uh ac itungya nial Balaam nu kac. Balaam el sifilpa sringil donkey natul uh.
And when the ass saw the angel of God, she thrust herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall, and he struck her again.
26 Na lipufan sac sifilpa kilukyak nu meet, tui ke sie acn iktok ma wangin na pwaye acn mwet ku in aikil we.
And the angel of the Lord went farther, and came and stood in a narrow place where it was impossible to turn to the right or the left.
27 Na ke donkey soko ah liye lipufan sac, el ona infohk ah. Balaam el foloyak ac sifilpa srunglul ke sak soko sel.
And when the ass saw the angel of God, she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam was angry, and struck the ass with his staff.
28 Na LEUM GOD El sang ku nu sin donkey ah in sramsram, na el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Mea nga oru koluk nu sum? Efu ku kom uniyu pacl tolu lac?”
And God opened the mouth of the ass, and she says to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have struck me this third time?
29 Balaam el topuk, “Mweyen kom oru oana ngan arulana lalfon! Funu oasr cutlass sik, nga lukun unikomi na.”
And Balaam said to the ass, Because you have mocked me; and if I [had] had a sword in my hand, I would now have killed you.
30 Donkey el sifilpa fahk, “Ya tia nga na pa donkey soko ma kom nuna kasrusr fac in moul lom nufon? Mea, oasr pacl nga oru ouinge nu sum meet?” El topuk, “Wangin.”
And the ass says to Balaam, [Am] not I your ass on which you have ridden since your youth till this day? did I ever do thus to you, utterly disregarding [you]? and he said, No.
31 Na LEUM GOD El oru tuh Balaam elan ku in liyauk lipufan sac ke el tu sruok cutlass natul; ac Balaam el faksufi nu infohk uh.
And God opened the eyes of Balaam, and he sees the angel of the Lord withstanding [him] in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, and he stooped down and worshipped on his face.
32 Lipufan sac siyuk sel, “Efu ku kom uni donkey nutum ouinge pacl tolu lac? Nga tuku in tuh kosrekomla, mweyen kom tia enenu in orala fahsr se lom inge.
And the angel of God said to him, Why have you struck your ass this third time? and, behold, I came out to withstand you, for your way was not seemly before me; and when the ass saw me, she turned away from me this third time.
33 A donkey nutum uh liyeyuyak ac kuhfla liki inkanek uh pacl tolu. El funu tia kuhfla, nga lukun unikomi ac molella.”
And if she had not turned out of the way, surely now, I should have slain you, and should have saved her alive.
34 Balaam el topuk, “Nga orekma koluk. Nga tiana etu lah kom tu inkanek uh in kosreyula. Tusruktu inge kom fin nunku mu tia wo nga in som, na tari nga ac folokla nu yen sik.”
And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing opposite in the way to meet [me]; and now if it shall not be pleasing to you [for me to go on], I will return.
35 A lipufan sac fahk nu sel, “Wi na mwet inge som, tusruktu kom fah fahk na ma nga ac sap kom in fahk uh.” Ouinge Balaam el wi mwet uh som.
And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men: nevertheless the word which I shall speak to you, that you shall take heed to speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balac.
36 Ke Balak el lohngak lah Balaam el tuku, el som in osun nu sel in acn Ar, sie siti su oan sisken Infacl Arnon ke masrol lun Moab.
And when Balac heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him, to a city of Moab, which is on the borders of Arnon, which is on the [extreme] part of the borders.
37 Balak el fahk nu sel, “Efu kom tia tuku ke nga tuh suli kom meet ah? Ya kom nunku mu nga tia ku in moli wo nu sum?”
And Balac said to Balaam, Did I not send to you to call you? why have you not come to me? shall I not indeed be able to honor you?
38 Balaam el topuk, “Liye, nga pa inge. Tusruktu, ku fuka se luk an? Ma na God El sapkin uh pa nga ac fahk uh.”
And Balaam said to Balac, Behold, I am now come to you: shall I be able to say anything? the word which God shall put into my mouth, that I shall speak.
39 Ouinge Balaam el welul Balak som nu ke siti srisrik Huzoth,
And Balaam went with Balac, and they came to the cities of streets.
40 yen Balak el kisakin cow ac sheep we, ac sang kutu ikwen ma inge nu sel Balaam ac mwet kol su welul.
And Balac offered sheep and calves, and sent to Balaam and to his princes who were with him.
41 In lotu tok ah, Balak el usalak Balaam nu Bamoth Baal, sie acn su Balaam el ac ku in ngetla ac liye kutu sin mwet Israel ah we.
And it was morning; and Balac took Balaam, and brought him up to the pillar of Baal, and showed him thence a part of the people.
