Nomery 22
1 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nifindra nitoby tao Arbota-moaba, tany an-dafin’ i Jordana tandrifin’ i Jeriko.
And they set out [the] people of Israel and they encamped in [the] plains of Moab from [the] other side of [the] Jordan of Jericho.
2 Ary Balaka, zanak’ i Zipora, nahita izay rehetra efa nataon’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny Amorita.
And he saw Balak [the] son of Zippor all that it had done Israel to the Amorite[s].
3 Dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny Moabita noho ny hamaroan’ ny olona; ary nangorohoro ny Moabita noho ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
And it was afraid Moab because of the people exceedingly for [was] numerous it and it felt dread Moab because of [the] people of Israel.
4 Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny loholon’ ny Midianita: Ankehitriny dia hiraoka izay rehetra manodidina antsika ireto vahoaka be ireto tahaka ny firaokan’ ny omby ny zava-maitso any an-tsaha. Ary Balaka, zanak’ i Zipora, no mpanjakan’ i Moaba tamin’ izany andro izany.
And it said Moab to [the] elders of Midian now they will lick up the company all around us as licks up the ox [the] greenery of the field and Balak [the] son of Zippor [was] king of Moab at the time that.
5 Dia naniraka olona izy ho any amin’ i Balama, zanak’ i Beora, any Petora, izay eo amoron’ ny Ony, dia eo amin’ ny tanin’ ny fireneny, mba hampaka azy, ka nanao hoe: Indro, misy firenena nivoaka avy tany Egypta; ary indro, mandrakotra ny tany rehetra izy ka mitoby tandrifiko;
And he sent messengers to Balaam [the] son of Beor Pethor towards which [was] at the river [the] land of [the] sons of people his to summon him saying here! a people it has come out from Egypt here! it has covered [the] eye of the land and it [is] dwelling from in front of me.
6 koa ankehitriny mba mankanesa atỳ, ka ozòny ho ahy ity firenena ity, fa mahery noho izaho izy; angamba hahazo mamely azy isika, ka handroaka azy hiala amin’ ny tany aho; satria fantatro fa izay tsofinao rano dia voatahy, ary izay ozoninao dia voaozona.
And therefore come! please curse! for me the people this for [is too] mighty it for me perhaps I will be able to strike it and I will drive out it from the land for I know [the one] whom you bless [is] blessed and [the one] whom you curse he is cursed.
7 Dia nandeha ny loholon’ ny Moabita sy ny loholon’ ny Midianita nitondra ny saran’ ny fankatovana teny an-tànany; dia nankany amin’ i Balama izy ka nilaza taminy izay tenin’ i Balaka.
And they went [the] elders of Moab and [the] elders of Midian and divinations [were] in hand their and they came to Balaam and they spoke to him [the] words of Balak.
8 Ary hoy Balama taminy: Mandria atỳ anio alina, dia hamaly ny teninareo aho, araka izay holazain’ i Jehovah amiko. Dia nitoetra tao amin’ i Balama ireo andriandahin’ i Moaba.
And he said to them lodge here this night and I will bring back you word just as he will speak Yahweh to me and they remained [the] leaders of Moab with Balaam.
9 Ary Andriamanitra nankao amin’ i Balama ka nanao hoe: Iza moa ireo lehilahy ato aminao ireo?
And he came God to Balaam and he said who? [are] the men these with you.
10 Dia hoy Balama tamin’ Andriamanitra: Balaka, zanak’ i Zipora, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, no efa naniraka tamiko hoe:
And he said Balaam to God Balak [the] son of Zippor [the] king of Moab he sent to me.
11 Indro ny firenena izay nivoaka avy tany Egypta mandrakotra ny tany rehetra; koa mankanesa atỳ ankehitriny, ka ozòny ho ahy izy; angamba haharesy azy aho ka haharoaka azy.
Here! the people which has come out from Egypt and it has covered [the] eye of the land now come! curse! for me it perhaps I will be able to engage in battle against it and I will drive out it.
12 Ary hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Balama: Aza mandeha miaraka aminy, na manozona izany firenena izany, fa voatahy izy.
And he said God to Balaam not you will go with them not you will curse the people for [is] blessed it.
13 Dia nifoha maraina koa Balama, ka nanao tamin’ ireo andriandahin’ i Balaka hoe: Andeha mody any amin’ ny taninareo; fa tsy avelan’ i Jehovah handeha hiaraka aminareo aho.
And he arose Balaam in the morning and he said to [the] leaders of Balak go to land your for he has refused Yahweh to permit me to go with you.
14 Ary niainga ireo andriandahin’ i Moaba, dia tonga tany amin i Balaka ka nanao hoe: Tsy nety nandeha niaraka taminay Balama.
And they arose [the] leaders of Moab and they went to Balak and they said he has refused Balaam to come with us.
15 Ary Balaka naniraka andriandahy maro sady malaza noho ny teo indray.
And he repeated again Balak to send leaders many and honored more than these.
16 Dia tonga tao amin’ i Balama ireny ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Balaka, zanak’ i Zipora: Aoka mba tsy ho azon-tsampona ny hankanesanao atỳ amiko;
And they came to Balaam and they said to him thus he says Balak [the] son of Zippor do not please let yourself be restrained from coming to me.
17 fa hanome anao voninahitra lehibe indrindra aho, ary izay rehetra holazainao amiko dia hataoko avokoa; koa masìna ianao, mankanesa atỳ, ozòny ho ahy ity firenena ity.
For surely I will honor you exceedingly and all that you will say to me I will do and come! please curse! for me the people this.
18 Fa namaly Balama ka nanao tamin’ ny mpanompon’ i Balaka hoe: Na dia homen’ i Balaka volafotsy sy volemana eran’ ny tranony aza aho, dia tsy mahazo manoatra ny tenin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro aho, na handatsaka, na hampihoatra.
And he answered Balaam and he said to [the] servants of Balak if he will give to me Balak [the] fullness of house his silver and gold not I will be able to transgress [the] mouth of Yahweh God my by doing a small [thing] or a large [thing].
19 Nefa, na dia izany aza, mitoera atỳ ihany koa ianareo anio alina, mba ho fantatro izay mbola holazain’ i Jehovah amiko koa.
And now remain please in this [place] also you this night so let me know what? will he increase Yahweh to speak with me.
20 Ary nony alina dia nankao amin’ i Balama Andriamanitra ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha haka anao no nahatongavan’ ireo olona ireo, dia miaingà ka mandehana ihany miaraka aminy; kanefa ny teny izay holazaiko aminao ihany no hataonao.
And he came God - to Balaam night and he said to him if to summon you they have come the men arise go with them and only the word which I will speak to you it you will do.
21 Dia nifoha maraina koa Balama ka nanisy lasely ny borikiny, dia nandeha niaraka tamin’ ireo andriandahin’ i Moaba.
And he arose Balaam in the morning and he saddled donkey his and he went with [the] leaders of Moab.
22 Ary nirehitra taminy ny fahatezeran’ Andriamanitra, satria nandeha izy; ka dia nijanona teo an-dalana Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah ho mpisakana azy. Ary Balama nitaingina ny borikiny, ary ny zatovony roa lahy nanaraka azy.
And it burned [the] anger of God for [was] going he and he stood [the] angel of Yahweh in the road to an adversary to him and he [was] riding on donkey his and two of servants his [were] with him.
23 Dia hitan’ ny boriky nijanona teo an-dalana Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah sady nitana ny sabany voatsoaka teny an-tànany; dia nivily lalana ny boriky ka nankany amin’ ny saha; dia nikapoka ny boriky Balama mba hampiverina azy ho amin’ ny lalana.
And it saw the donkey [the] angel of Yahweh standing in the road and sword his [was] drawn in hand his and it turned aside the donkey from the road and it went in the field and he struck Balaam the donkey to turn it the road.
24 Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah nijanona teo an-kandemponana tanelanelan’ ny tanim-boaloboka, izay nisy fefy teo an-daniny roa.
And he stood [the] angel of Yahweh in [the] narrow way of the vineyards a wall from this and a wall from this.
25 Ary ny boriky nahita Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah, dia niampify teo amin’ ny fefy ka nanery ny tongotr’ i Balama tamin’ ny fefy; dia nikapoka azy indray izy.
And it saw the donkey [the] angel of Yahweh and it squeezed itself to the wall and it squeezed [the] foot of Balaam to the wall and he repeated to strike it.
26 Ary mbola nandroso Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah ka nijanona teo amin’ ny fitoerana èty, izay tsy nisy lalana hiviliana, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia.
And he increased [the] angel of Yahweh to pass on and he stood in a place narrow where there not [was] a way to turn aside right [hand] and left [hand].
27 Ary ny boriky nahita ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah, dia nandry teo ambanin’ i Balama; ary nirehitra ny fahatezeran’ i Balama ka nikapoka ny boriky tamin’ ny tehina izy.
And it saw the donkey [the] angel of Yahweh and it lay down under Balaam and it burned [the] anger of Balaam and he struck the donkey with the stick.
28 Dia nosokafan’ i Jehovah ny vavan’ ny boriky, ka hoy ny boriky tamin’ i Balama: Inona no nataoko taminao no dia nokapohinao intelo aho izao?
And he opened Yahweh [the] mouth of the donkey and it said to Balaam what? have I done to you that you have struck me this three feet.
29 Dia hoy Balama tamin’ ny boriky: Satria namazivazy ahy ianao; enga anie ka misy sabatra etỳ an-tanako, dia matiko mihitsy ianao ankehitriny.
And he said Balaam to the donkey that you have dealt wantonly with me if there [were] a sword in hand my that now I killed you.
30 Ary hoy ny boriky tamin’ i Balama: Tsy borikinao va aho, izay nitaingenanao hatrizay nanananao ahy ka mandraka androany? Moa efa fanaoko va ny manao toy izao aminao? Dia hoy izy: Tsia.
And it said the donkey to Balaam ¿ not [am] I donkey your which you have ridden on me from duration your until the day this ¿ really have I had [the] habit to do to you thus and he said no.
31 Dia nampahiratin’ i Jehovah ny mason’ i Balama hahita Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah mijanona eo an-dalana sady mitana ny sabany voatsoaka eny an-tànany; dia niondrika izy ka niankohoka.
And he uncovered Yahweh [the] eyes of Balaam and he saw [the] angel of Yahweh standing in the road and sword his [was] drawn in hand his and he bowed low and he bowed down to face his.
32 Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah taminy: Nahoana no nikapoka ny borikinao intelo ianao izao? indro, Izaho no nivoaka ho mpisakana anao, satria mivarina amin-doza eto anatrehako ny lalanao.
And he said to him [the] angel of Yahweh concerning what? did you strike female donkey your this three feet here! I I came out to an adversary for it is precipitate the way to before me.
33 Koa nahita Ahy ny boriky ka nivily Ahy intelo izao; raha tsy nivily Ahy izy, dia ianao no nataoko maty mihitsy toy izay, fa izy kosa no novelomiko.
And it saw me the donkey and it turned aside before me this three feet perhaps it had turned aside from before me if now also you I killed and it I preserved alive.
34 Dia hoy Balama tamin’ Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah: Efa nanota aho; fa tsy fantatro fa Hianao no nijanona nisakana ahy teo an-dalana; koa ankehitriny, raha tsy sitrakao izany, dia hiverina aho.
And he said Balaam to [the] angel of Yahweh I have sinned for not I knew that you [were] standing to meet me in the road and therefore if [it is] displeasing in view your I will turn back for myself.
35 Fa hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Balama: Mandehana ihany miaraka amin’ ireo lehilahy ireo, kanefa ny teny izay holazaiko aminao ihany no holazainao. Dia nandeha Balama niaraka tamin’ ireo andriandahin’ i Balaka.
And he said [the] angel of Yahweh to Balaam go with the men and only the word which I will speak to you it you will speak and he went Balaam with [the] leaders of Balak.
36 Ary nony ren’ i Balaka fa tonga Balama, dia nivoaka izy mba hitsena azy teo amin’ ny Tanànan’ i Moaba, teo amin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Arnona, izay eo amin’ ny sisin’ ny fari-tany.
And he heard Balak that he had come Balaam and he went out to meet him to [the] city of Moab which [is] on [the] border of Arnon which [is] at [the] end of the territory.
37 Ary hoy Balaka tamin’ i Balama: Tsy naniraka dia naniraka tany aminao va aho nampaka anao; ? Ka nahoana no tsy nankaty amiko ianao? tsy haiko tokoa va ny hanome voninahitra anao?
And he said Balak to Balaam ¿ not certainly did I send to you to summon you why? not did you come to me ¿ really not am I able to honor you.
38 Dia hoy Balama tamin’ i Balaka: Inty aho tonga eto aminao ankehitriny; kanefa mahazo milaza teny akory va aho? ny teny izay hataon’ Andriamanitra ao am-bavako, dia izany no holazaiko.
And he said Balaam to Balak here! I have come to you now ¿ certainly am I able to speak anything the word which he will put God in mouth my it I will speak.
39 Dia nandeha Balama niaraka tamin’ i Balaka, ka nankany Kinata-hozota izy roa lahy.
And he went Balaam with Balak and they came Kiriath-huzoth.
40 Ary Balaka namono omby sy ondry aman’ osy hatao fanatitra ka nampanatitra ho an’ i Balama sy ny andriandahy izay teo aminy.
And he sacrificed Balak cattle and sheep and he sent to Balaam and to the leaders who [were] with him.
41 Ary nony maraina Balama dia nalain’ i Balaka ka nentiny niakatra ho ao Bamota-bala, ka dia tazany tao ny olona hatramin’ ny sisin’ ny tobiny.
And it was in the morning and he took Balak Balaam and he brought up him Bamoth Baal and he saw from there [the] outskirt[s] of the people.
