Tirintii 22
1 Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil guureen, oo waxay degeen bannaanka Moo'aab oo Webi Urdun ka shisheeya oo Yerixoo ka soo hor jeeda.
And they set out and made camp in the plains of Moab, across the Jordan, where Jericho is situated.
2 Oo Baalaaq ina Sifoor wuxuu arkay kulli wixii ay reer binu Israa'iil ku sameeyeen reer Amor.
Then Balak, the son of Zippor, seeing all that Israel had done to the Amorite,
3 Oo reer Moo'aab dadka bay ka cabsadeen, maxaa yeelay, iyagu aad bay u badnaayeen, oo reer Moo'aab aad iyo aad bay u welweleen reer binu Israa'iil aawadood.
and that the Moabites had great fear of him, and that they were not able to bear his assault,
4 Markaasaa reer Moo'aab waxay ku yidhaahdeen odayaashii reer Midyaan, Sida dibi u dhammaysto cawska berrinka ayaa dadkan faraha badanu waxa hareerahayaga ku wareegsan oo dhan u dhammaysanayaan. Oo wakhtigaas waxaa reer Moo'aab boqor u ahaa Baalaaq ina Sifoor.
said to those greater by birth of Midian: “So will this people wipe away all those who are dwelling within our borders, in the same way that the ox is accustomed to tear out grass, all the way to the roots.” At that time, he was king of Moab.
5 Oo wargeeyayaal buu u diray Balcaam ina Becoor oo joogay Fetoor oo Webiga ku ag taal oo ah dalkii dadkiisa si ay ugu yeedhaan oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eeg, halkan waxaa jooga dad Masar ka yimid, oo dhulkii oo dhan way qarinayaan, oo waxay deggan yihiin hortayda.
Therefore, he sent messengers to Balaam, the son of Beor, a seer who lived above the river of the land of the sons of Ammon, to call him, and to say: “Behold, a people has gone forth from Egypt, which has covered the face of the earth. They are encamped opposite me.
6 Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye kaalay oo dadkan ii habaar, waayo, way iga xoog badan yihiin, oo mindhaa waan ka adkaanayaa si aannu ugu layno, oo dalka uga erinno, waayo, waan ogahay in kii aad u ducaysaa wuu ducaysan yahay, kii aad habaartaana wuu habaaran yahay.
Therefore, come and curse this people, for they are stronger than I am. If only, in some way, I might be able to strike them and to drive them from my land. For I know that he whom you bless shall be blessed, and he whom you curse shall be cursed.”
7 Markaasaa odayaashii reer Moo'aab iyo odayaashii reer Midyaan waxay gacantooda ku qaadeen abaalgudkii habaaridda, oo waxay u tageen Balcaam, oo isagay kula hadleen erayadii Baalaaq.
And the elders of Moab, and those greater by birth of Midian, continued on, holding the price of divination in their hands. And when they had come to Balaam, and had explained to him all the words of Balak,
8 Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Caawa halkan ku barya oo anna war dambaan idiinka keenayaa wixii Rabbigu igula hadlo. Markaasay amiirradii reer Moo'aab la hoydeen Balcaam.
he responded, “Remain for this night, and I will answer with whatever the Lord will say to me.” And while they stayed with Balaam, God came and said to him,
9 Markaasaa Ilaah Balcaam u yimid, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War nimanka kula joogaa yay yihiin?
“What do these men want with you?”
10 Markaasaa Balcaam wuxuu Ilaah ku yidhi, Baalaaq ina Sifoor oo ah boqorkii reer Moo'aab ayaa ii soo diray oo yidhi,
He responded, “Balak, the son of Zippor, the king of the Moabites has sent to me,
11 Bal eeg, dadka Masar ka yimid waxay qarinayaan dhulka oo dhan, haddaba kaalay oo ii habaar, oo mindhaa waan karayaa inaan iyaga la diriro oo aan eryado.
saying: ‘Behold, a people, which has gone forth from Egypt, has covered the face of the earth. Come and curse them, so that, in some way, I may be able to fight them and drive them away.’”
12 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Balcaam ku yidhi, Waa inaanad iyaga raacin, oo waa inaanad dadka habaarin, waayo, iyagu waa barakaysan yihiin.
And God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them, and do not curse the people, for they are blessed.”
13 Aroortii dambe ayaa Balcaam kacay, oo wuxuu amiirradii Baalaaq ku yidhi, Dalkiinnii taga, waayo, Rabbigu fasax buu ii diidaa inaan idin raaco.
And he, rising up in the morning, said to the leaders, “Go into your own land, for the Lord has prohibited me from going with you.”
14 Markaasaa amiirradii reer Moo'aab kaceen, oo Baalaaq u tageen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Balcaam waa diiday inuu na soo raaco.
Returning, the leaders said to Balak, “Balaam was not willing to come with us.”
15 Oo Baalaaq haddana wuxuu diray amiirro kale oo kuwii hore ka sii badan oo ka sii derejo weyn.
Again, he sent many more persons, and these were more noble than those he had sent before.
16 Oo iyana Balcaam bay u tageen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Baalaaq ina Sifoor wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Waan ku baryayaaye inaad ii timaado yaanay waxba kaa hor joogsan.
And when these had come to Balaam, they said: “So says Balak, the son of Zippor. Do not hesitate to come to me.
17 Waxaan ku siinayaa derejo sharaf ah, oo wax alla wixii aad igu tidhaahdona waan samaynayaa. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye kaalay oo dadkan ii habaar.
For I am ready to honor you, and whatever you would want, I shall give to you. Come and curse this people.”
18 Markaasaa Balcaam jawaabay, oo wuxuu addoommadii Baalaaq ku yidhi, Haddii Baalaaq i siiyo gurigiisa oo lacag iyo dahab ka buuxo, anigu kama tallaabsan karo erayga Rabbiga Ilaahayga ah inaan sameeyo wax ka yar iyo wax ka badan toona.
Balaam responded: “Even if Balak were to give to me his own house, filled with silver and gold, I still would not be able to change the word of the Lord my God, neither to say more, nor to say less.
19 Haddaba waan idin baryayaaye, Bal caawa halkan isaga hoyda, bal aan soo ogaado waxa kaloo Rabbigu igula hadlee.
I beg you to remain for this night also, so that I may know what the Lord will answer me again.”
20 Oo habeennimadii ayaa Ilaah Balcaam u yimid, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddii nimanku u yimaadeen inay kuu yeedhaan, kac oo iyaga raac; laakiinse waxaad yeeshaa aan kugula hadlo oo keliya.
Therefore, God came to Balaam in the night, and said to him: “If these men have arrived to call you, then rise up and go with them; yet only in so far as you shall do what I will command you.”
21 Oo subaxdii dambe ayaa Balcaam kacay oo dameertiisii kooraystay, kolkaasuu raacay amiirradii reer Moo'aab.
Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddling his donkey, he set out with them.
22 Oo Ilaah cadhadiisiina way kululaatay, maxaa yeelay, Balcaam baa tegey. Markaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu jidka istaagtay iyadoo cadow ku ah isaga. Haddaba isagu wuxuu iska fuushanaa dameertiisii, oo labadiisii addoonna way la socdeen.
And God was angry. And an Angel of the Lord stood in the way opposite Balaam, who was sitting on the donkey, and he had two servants with him.
23 Markaasaa dameertii waxay aragtay malaa'igtii Rabbiga oo jidka taagan oo seefteedii oo galka ka baxsan gacanta ku haysata. Kolkaasay dameertii jidka ka leexatay oo berrinka gashay. Oo Balcaamna dameertii wax buu ku dhuftay si uu jidka ugu soo celiyo.
The donkey, discerning that the Angel was standing in the way with a drawn sword, turned herself from the road and went through a field. And when Balaam beat her and intended to return her to the path,
24 Markaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay istaagtay surun beercanabyada ku dhex yaal oo dhankan deyr ka yahay, dhanka kalena deyr ka yahay.
the Angel stood in a narrow place between the two walls, with which the vineyards were enclosed.
25 Oo haddana dameertii waxay aragtay malaa'igtii Rabbiga, markaasay derbiga isku jiidday, oo Balcaam cagtiisii ayay derbigii kula qabatay, oo isna haddana wax buu ku dhuftay.
And the donkey, seeing this, drew herself close to the wall and scraped the foot of the rider. So he beat her again.
26 Markaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu hore u sii socotay oo waxay istaagtay meel cidhiidhi ah oo aan meel looga leexdo lahayn midig iyo bidix toona.
And, nevertheless, the Angel passing on to a narrow place, where one would not be able to deviate either to the right or to the left, stood to meet him.
27 Oo haddana dameertii waxay aragtay malaa'igtii Rabbiga, markaasay iska jiifsatay Balcaam hoostiisa, Balcaamna wuu cadhooday, oo dameertii usha ku dhuftay.
And when the donkey had seen the Angel standing there, she fell under the feet of the rider, who, being angry, struck her sides more vehemently with a club.
28 Markaasaa Rabbigu afka dameerta furay oo waxay Balcaam ku tidhi, War maxaan kugu sameeyey oo aad saddexdan jeer ii dishay?
And the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said: “What have I done to you? Why do strike you me, behold now, for the third time?”
29 Markaasaa Balcaam dameertii ku yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, adigu waad igu majaajilootay. Oo weliba waxaan jeclaan lahaa in seefu gacantayda ku jirto, waayo, waan ku dili lahaa hadda.
Balaam responded, “Because you have deserved it, and you have mistreated me. If only I had a sword, so that I might pierce you.”
30 Markaasaa dameertii Balcaam ku tidhi, War sow ma ahi dameertaadii aad cimrigaaga oo dhan fuuli jirtay ilaa maantadan? Oo miyaan hore sidan oo kale weligay kugu sameeyey? Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Maya.
The donkey said: “Am not I your animal, on which you have always been accustomed to sit, even until this present day? Tell me, when did I ever do the same thing to you.” But he said, “Never.”
31 Kolkaasaa Rabbigu Balcaam indhaha u furay oo wuxuu arkay malaa'igtii Rabbiga oo jidka dhex taagan oo seefteedii oo galka ka baxsan gacanta ku haysata. Markaasuu madaxa foororiyey oo sujuuday.
Immediately, the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the Angel standing in the way with a drawn sword, and he reverenced him prone on the ground.
32 Kolkaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay isagii ku tidhi, War maxaad dameertaada u dishay saddexdan jeer? Bal eeg, anigu waxaan u soo baxay cadow ahaan, maxaa yeelay, jidkaagu hortayda waa ku qalloocan yahay.
And the Angel said to him: “Why did you beat your donkey three times? I have come to be an adversary to you, because your way is perverse and contrary to me.
33 Oo dameertuna anay i aragtay oo saddexdan jeerba hortayday ka leexatay. Oo haddaanay iga leexan, hubaal waan ku dili lahaa, iyadase waan badbaadin lahaa.
And unless the donkey had turned aside from the way, allowing a place for my opposition, I would have killed you, and she would have lived.”
34 Oo Balcaam wuxuu malaa'igtii Rabbiga ku yidhi, Waan dembaabay, waayo, ma aan ogayn inaad jidka taagan tahay adigoo iga gees ah. Haddaba haddii sidaasu ku xumayso, dib baan u noqonayaa.
Balaam said: “I have sinned, not knowing that you stood against me. And now, if it displeases you for me to continue on, I will return.”
35 Markaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu Balcaam ku tidhi, Orod oo nimanka raac; laakiinse hadalkii aan kula hadlo oo keliya waa inaad ku hadashaa. Sidaas daraaddeed Balcaam wuxuu raacay amiirradii Baalaaq soo diray.
The Angel said, “Go with them, but be careful not to speak anything other than what I shall instruct you.” And so, he went with the leaders.
36 Oo Baalaaq markuu maqlay in Balcaam yimid ayuu u baxay inuu isaga ku qaabbilo magaaladii Moo'aab oo ku taal soohdinta Arnoon oo ah soohdinta darafkeeda.
And when Balak had heard it, he went out to meet him in a town of the Moabites, which is situated at the furthest borders of Arnon.
37 Markaasaa Baalaaq wuxuu Balcaam ku yidhi, War sow degdeg dad kuuguma soo dirin inay kuu yeedhaan? Maxaad iigu iman weyday? Miyaanan awoodin inaan derejo weyn ku siiyo?
And he said to Balaam: “I sent messengers to call you. Why did you not come to me immediately? Was it because I am not able to pay the cost for your arrival?”
38 Kolkaasaa Balcaam wuxuu Baalaaq ku yidhi, Haddaba waa i kan oo waan kuu imid. War anigu ma waxaan leeyahay awood aan wax kaga hadlo innaba ha ahaatee? Ereygii Ilaah afkayga geliyo ayaan ku hadli doonaa.
He answered him: “Behold, here I am. Am I able to speak anything other than what God will put into my mouth?”
39 Markaasaa Balcaam raacay Baalaaq, oo waxay yimaadeen Qiryad Xusood.
Therefore, they continued on together, and they arrived at a city, which was at the furthest borders of his kingdom.
40 Markaasaa Baalaaq allabari u bixiyey dibi iyo ido, oo wax buu u diray Balcaam iyo amiirradii isaga la joogay.
And after Balak had killed oxen and sheep, he sent the gifts to Balaam, and to the leaders who were with him.
41 Oo subaxdii dambe ayaa Baalaaq kaxaystay Balcaam, oo wuxuu keenay meelihii sare oo Bacal, oo halkaas wuxuu ka arkay dadka darafkii ugu shisheeya.
Then, when morning arrived, he led him to the heights of Baal, and he gazed upon the most distant portions of the population.
