Ceturtā Mozus 22
1 Tad Israēla bērni cēlās un apmetās Moaba klajumos, viņpus Jardānes, Jērikum pretī.
Then did the sons of Israel break up, —and encamp in the waste plains of Moab, on the other side of the Jordan by Jericho.
2 Kad nu Balaks, Cipora dēls, visu redzēja, ko Israēls bija darījis Amoriešiem,
And Balak son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done unto the Amorites;
3 Tad Moabs ļoti bijās no tiem ļaudīm, jo to bija daudz, un Moabam bija bail no Israēla bērniem.
and Moab shrank with great fear from the presence of the people because, many, they were, —and Moab was alarmed at the presence of the sons of Israel.
4 Tāpēc Moabs sacīja uz Midijaniešu vecajiem: nu šī draudze visu apēdīs, kas mums visapkārt, itin kā vērsis apēd zāli virs zemes. Bet Balaks, Cipora dēls, bija tanī laikā Moabiešu ķēniņš.
So Moab said unto the elders of Midian—Now, shall the gathered host lick up all that are round about us, as the ox doth lick up the verdure of the field. But, Balak son of Zippor, was king unto Moab at that time.
5 Un tas sūtīja vēstnešus pie Bileāma, Beora dēla, uz Petoru, kas pie tās lielupes, viņa ļaužu bērnu zemē, viņu aicināt, un sacīja: redzi, tur ir ļaudis izgājuši no Ēģiptes zemes, redzi, tie apklāj zemes virsu un ir apmetušies man pretī.
So he sent messengers unto Balaam son of Beor, to Pethor which was by the river of the land of the sons of his people to call him, —saying Lo! a people, hath come forth out of Egypt Lo! he hath covered the eye of the land, Yea he, is tarrying over against me.
6 Un nu nāc jel un nolādi man šos ļaudis, - jo tie ir stiprāki nekā es, - ka es tos varētu apkaut un izdzīt no zemes; jo es zinu, ka ko tu svētī, tas ir svētīts, un ko tu nolādi, tas ir nolādēts.
Now, therefore, do come, I pray thee curse me this people. For stronger, he is than I, If peradventure I prevail, we shall smite him, That I may drive him out of the land, —For I know that, he whom thou dost bless, is to be blessed, And, he whom thou dost curse, is to be cursed.
7 Tad Moabiešu vecaji un Midijaniešu vecaji gāja, un zīlēšanas alga bija viņu rokā, un tie nāca pie Bileāma un runāja uz viņu Balaka vārdus.
And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian went their way, with the rewards of divination in their hand, —so they came in unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
8 Tad tas uz viņiem sacīja: paliekat šeit par nakti, tad es jums atsacīšu, kā Tas Kungs uz mani runās; un Moaba virsnieki palika pie Bileāma.
And he said unto them—Tarry ye here for the night, and I will bring you back word, as Yahweh shall speak unto me. So the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
9 Un Dievs nāca pie Bileāma un sacīja: kas tie tādi ļaudis, kas pie tevis?
And God came in unto Balaam, —and said, Who are these men with thee?
10 Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Dievu: Balaks, Cipora dēls, Moabiešu ķēniņš, pie manis sūtījis
Then said Balaam unto God, —Balak, son of Zippor king of Moab, hath sent unto me:
11 (Sacīdams): Redzi, ļaudis no Ēģiptes zemes ir izgājuši un apklāj zemes virsu, nāc nu, nolādi man tos, ka es pret tiem varētu karot un tos izdzīt.
Lo! the people that hath come forth out of Egypt—he covereth the eye of the land. Now, do come, do revile me him, Peradventure I shall prevail in making war with him, And shall drive him out.
12 Tad Dievs sacīja uz Bileāmu: tev nebūs iet ar viņiem, tev nebūs šos ļaudis nolādēt, jo tie ir svētīti.
And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them, —Thou shalt not curse the people, For blessed, he is.
13 Tad Bileāms cēlās rītā agri un sacīja uz Balaka lielkungiem: ejat uz savu zemi, jo Tas Kungs aizliedz un neļauj Man iet ar jums.
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your own land, —For Yahweh hath refused to let me go with you.
14 Tad Moaba virsnieki cēlās un nāca pie Balaka un sacīja: Bileāms ir liedzies, mums iet līdz.
So the princes of Moab arose, and came in unto Balak, —and said, Balaam refused to come with us.
15 Un Balaks atkal sūtīja vēl vairāk un jo cienīgus lielkungus.
Then added Balak again, —to send princes, more and weightier than these.
16 Tie nāca pie Bileāma un uz to sacīja: tā saka Balaks, Cipora dēls: lūdzams, neliedzies nākt pie manis.
And they came in unto Balaam, —and said unto him—Thus, said Balak son of Zippor, Do not be withheld, I pray thee from coming unto me:
17 Jo es tevi augsti godināšu un visu, ko tu man sacīsi, to es darīšu: tad nāc jel, nolād man šos ļaudis.
For I will honour, thee, exceedingly, and all that thou shalt say unto me, will I do. Do come therefore I pray thee oh revile me this people.
18 Tad Bileāms atbildēja un sacīja uz Balaka kalpiem: kaut man Balaks savu namu dotu pilnu zelta un sudraba, tomēr es nevarētu pārkāpt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdu, darīt vai mazu vai lielu lietu.
And Balaam responded and said unto the servants of Balak, Though Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the bidding of Yahweh my God, to do less or more.
19 Un nu paliekat jel arī šo nakti pie manis, tad es redzēšu, ko Tas Kungs atkal ar mani runās.
Now, therefore abide here, I pray you even ye, —for the night, —that I may get to know what further Yahweh may be speaking with me.
20 Tad Dievs nāca pie Bileāma naktī un uz to sacīja: ja tie vīri nākuši tevi aicināt, tad celies, ej viņiem līdz, bet tikai to tev būs darīt, ko Es uz tevi runāšu.
And God came in unto Balaam, by night, and said unto him—If, to call thee, the men have come in, arise go with them, —But only, the thing that I shall speak unto thee, that, shalt thou do.
21 Tad Bileāms cēlās rītā agri un apsedloja savu ēzelieni un gāja tiem Moaba virsniekiem līdz.
So Balaam arose in the morning, and saddled his ass, —and went with the princes of Moab.
22 Bet Dieva bardzība iedegās, tāpēc ka viņš gāja, un Tā Kunga eņģelis nostājās uz ceļa viņam par pretinieku; un viņš jāja uz savas ēzelienes, un viņa divi puiši viņam līdz.
Then kindled the anger of God, because he was going, and the messenger of Yahweh stationed himself in the way, to withstand him, —as he was riding upon his ass, his two young men being with him.
23 Un tā ēzeliene ieraudzīja Tā Kunga eņģeli uz ceļa stāvam, pliku zobenu rokā, un tā ēzeliene atkāpās no ceļa un gāja uz tīrumu; tad Bileāms sita to ēzelieni, viņu griezdams uz ceļu.
And the ass saw the messenger of Yahweh stationed in the road with his drawn sword in his hand, so the ass turned aside out of the road and went into the field, —and Balaam smote the ass, to make her turn back into the road.
24 Bet Tā Kunga eņģelis nostājās ceļa šaurumā vīna dārzu starpā, kur abējās pusēs bija mūris.
But the messenger of Yahweh took his stand, in a hollow pass of the vineyards, —with a fence on this side, and a fence on that side.
25 Kad nu tā ēzeliene Tā Kunga eņģeli ieraudzīja, tad tā spiedās pie mūra un piespieda Bileāma kāju pie mūra; tāpēc viņš to atkal sita.
And when the ass saw the messenger of Yahweh, she squeezed herself against the wall, and squeezed the foot of Balaam against the wall, —and again he smote her.
26 Un Tā Kunga eņģelis gāja tālāki un nostājās kādā šaurā vietā, kur nebija kur atkāpties, ne pa labo, ne pa kreiso roku.
And the messenger of Yahweh went on further, and took his stand in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn to the right hand or to the left.
27 Kad nu tā ēzeliene Tā Kunga eņģeli ieraudzīja, tad tā pakrita uz ceļiem apakš Bileāma, un Bileāma dusmas iedegās un viņš to ēzelieni sita ar koku.
And, when the ass saw the messenger of Yahweh, she sank down under Balaam, —then was Balaam’s anger kindled, and he smote the ass with the staff.
28 Un Tas Kungs atvēra muti tai ēzelienei un tā sacīja uz Bileāmu: ko es tev esmu darījusi, ka tu man nu trīs reizes esi sitis?
And Yahweh opened the mouth of the ass, —and she said unto Balaam—What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me, these three times?
29 Un Bileāms sacīja uz to ēzelieni: tāpēc ka tu mani esi kaitinājusi! Kaut zobens būtu manā rokā, es tevi tagad nokautu!
And Balaam said unto the ass, Surely thou hast been making sport of me, —Would there had been a sword in my hand, for, now, would I have slain thee.
30 Tad tā ēzeliene sacīja uz Bileāmu: vai neesmu tava ēzeliene, uz kā tu esi jājis līdz šai dienai? Vai tas bijis man ieradums tev tā darīt? Viņš sacīja: nē.
Then said the ass unto Balaam—Am not I thine own ass on which thou hast ridden all thy life, until this day? Have I, been wont, to do unto thee, thus? And he said, Nay!
31 Tad Tas Kungs Bileāmam atvēra acis, ka viņš Tā Kunga eņģeļi ieraudzīja uz ceļa stāvam, pliku zobenu rokā; tāpēc viņš klanījās un nometās uz savu vaigu.
Then did Yahweh unveil the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the messenger of Yahweh stationed in the road, with his sword drawn in his hand, —so he bent his head and bowed down before him.
32 Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis uz viņu sacīja: kāpēc tu savu ēzelieni nu trīs reiz sitis? Raugi, es esmu izgājis tev par pretinieku, jo tavs ceļš manā priekšā ir ļauns.
And the messenger of Yahweh said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass, these three times? Lo! I, myself, am come forth to withstand thee, because headlong was thy way before me.
33 Bet tā ēzeliene mani redzējusi un nu trīs reiz no manis atkāpusies, un ja viņa nebūtu atkāpusies, tiešām es tevi būtu nokāvis un viņu pametis dzīvu.
And the ass hath seen me, and hath turned aside at my presence these three times: Unless she had turned aside from my presence, yea now even thee, had I slain, but, her, had I suffered to live.
34 Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Tā Kunga eņģeli: es esmu grēkojis, jo es nezināju, tevi uz ceļa man pretī stāvam, un nu, ja tev nepatīk, tad es iešu atpakaļ.
Then said Balaam unto the messenger of Yahweh—I have sinned, for I knew not, that, thou, wast stationed to meet me in the road, —Now, therefore, if it be displeasing in thine eyes, I must get me back again.
35 Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Bileāmu: ej tiem vīriem līdz; tomēr to vien, ko es uz tevi runāšu, to tev būs runāt. Tā Bileāms gāja Balaka lielkungiem līdz.
And the messenger of Yahweh said unto Balaam—Go with the men: Only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that, shalt thou speak. So Balaam went his way with the princes of Balak.
36 Kad nu Balaks dzirdēja Bileāmu nākam, tad viņš tam izgāja pretī līdz tai Moabiešu pilsētai, kas ir Arnonas robežās, - pašā robežu malā.
And Balak heard that Balaam, was coming, —so he went forth to meet him unto a city of Moab which was upon the boundary of Arnon, which was in the utmost part of the boundary.
37 Un Balaks sacīja uz Bileāmu: vai es neesmu sūtīdams pie tevis sūtījis, tevi aicināt? Kāpēc tu neesi pie manis nācis? vai tad es nespēju tevi godināt?
And Balak said unto Balaam: Did I not, send, unto thee, to call thee? Wherefore didst thou not come unto me? Am I not in very deed, able to honour thee?
38 Tad Bileāms sacīja uz Balaku: redzi, es pie tevis esmu atnācis, bet vai es kautko varu runāt kā vien to vārdu, ko Dievs liks manā mutē? - To es runāšu.
And Balaam said unto Balak—Lo! I am come unto thee, Now, can, I, possibly, promise anything? The word that God shall put in my mouth, that, must I speak.
39 Un Bileāms gāja Balakam līdz un tie nonāca Kiriat Hucotā.
So Balaam went with Balak, —and they entered Kiriath-huzoth.
40 Un Balaks upurēja lielus un sīkus lopus un sūtīja Bileāmam un tiem lielkungiem, kas pie viņa bija.
And Balak sacrificed herd and flock, —and sent unto Balaam, and unto the princes that were with him.
41 Un no rīta Balaks ņēma Bileāmu un to veda uz Baāla kalniem, un no turienes šis redzēja vienu galu no tiem ļaudīm.
And it came to pass in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up the high places of Baal, —and he saw from thence the utmost part of the people.
