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.
The people of Israel traveled on until they camped in the plains of Moab near Jericho, on the other side of the Jordan River from the city.
2 Oo Baalaaq ina Sifoor wuxuu arkay kulli wixii ay reer binu Israa'iil ku sameeyeen reer Amor.
Balak son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
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.
Moab was very afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was in terror of the people of Israel.
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.
The king of Moab said to the elders of Midian, “This multitude will eat up all that is around us as an ox eats up the grass in a field.” Now Balak son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.
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.
He sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor, at Pethor which is by the Euphrates River, in the land of his nation and his people. He called him and said, “Look, a nation has come here from Egypt. They cover the face of the earth and they are right now next to 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.
So please come now and curse this nation for me, because they are too strong for me. Perhaps then I can manage to attack them and drive them out of the land. I know that whomever you bless will be blessed, and whomever you curse will 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.
So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian left, taking payment for divination. They came to Balaam and spoke to him Balak's words.
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.
Balaam said to them, “Stay here tonight. I will bring you what Yahweh says to me.” So the leaders of Moab stayed with Balaam that night.
9 Markaasaa Ilaah Balcaam u yimid, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War nimanka kula joogaa yay yihiin?
God came to Balaam and said, “Who are these men who came to you?”
10 Markaasaa Balcaam wuxuu Ilaah ku yidhi, Baalaaq ina Sifoor oo ah boqorkii reer Moo'aab ayaa ii soo diray oo yidhi,
Balaam answered God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent them to me. He said,
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.
'Look, the people who have come from Egypt cover the surface of my land. Now come and curse them for me. Perhaps I will manage to fight them and drive them out.'”
12 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Balcaam ku yidhi, Waa inaanad iyaga raacin, oo waa inaanad dadka habaarin, waayo, iyagu waa barakaysan yihiin.
God replied to Balaam, “You must not go with those men. You must not curse the people of Israel because they have been blessed.”
13 Aroortii dambe ayaa Balcaam kacay, oo wuxuu amiirradii Baalaaq ku yidhi, Dalkiinnii taga, waayo, Rabbigu fasax buu ii diidaa inaan idin raaco.
Balaam rose up in the morning and said to Balak's leaders, “Go back to your land because Yahweh refuses to allow me to go with you.”
14 Markaasaa amiirradii reer Moo'aab kaceen, oo Baalaaq u tageen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Balcaam waa diiday inuu na soo raaco.
So the leaders of Moab left and went back to Balak. They said, “Balaam refused to come with us.”
15 Oo Baalaaq haddana wuxuu diray amiirro kale oo kuwii hore ka sii badan oo ka sii derejo weyn.
Balak sent again more leaders who were even more honored than the first group.
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.
They came to Balaam and said to him, “Balak son of Zippor says this, 'Please let nothing stop you from coming 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.
because I will pay you extremely well and give you great honor, and I will do whatever you tell me to do. So please come and curse this people for me.'”
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 answered and said to Balak's men, “Even if Balak would give me his palace full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Yahweh, my God, and do less or more than what he tells me.
19 Haddaba waan idin baryayaaye, Bal caawa halkan isaga hoyda, bal aan soo ogaado waxa kaloo Rabbigu igula hadlee.
Now then, please wait here tonight too, so that I may learn anything further that Yahweh says to me.”
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.
God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “Since these men have come to summon you, get up and go with them. But only do what I tell you to do.”
21 Oo subaxdii dambe ayaa Balcaam kacay oo dameertiisii kooraystay, kolkaasuu raacay amiirradii reer Moo'aab.
Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the leaders of Moab.
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.
But because he went, God's anger was kindled. The angel of Yahweh placed himself in the road as someone hostile to Balaam, who was riding on his donkey. Balaam's two servants were also 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 saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the road with his drawn sword in his hand. The donkey turned off the road and went into a field. Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back to the road.
24 Markaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay istaagtay surun beercanabyada ku dhex yaal oo dhankan deyr ka yahay, dhanka kalena deyr ka yahay.
Then the angel of Yahweh stood in a narrow part of the road between some vineyards, with a wall on his right side and another wall on his left side.
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.
The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh again. She went against the wall and pinned Balaam's foot against it. Balaam struck 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.
The angel of Yahweh went further and stood in another narrow place where there was no way to turn to either side.
27 Oo haddana dameertii waxay aragtay malaa'igtii Rabbiga, markaasay iska jiifsatay Balcaam hoostiisa, Balcaamna wuu cadhooday, oo dameertii usha ku dhuftay.
The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, and she lay down under Balaam. Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
28 Markaasaa Rabbigu afka dameerta furay oo waxay Balcaam ku tidhi, War maxaan kugu sameeyey oo aad saddexdan jeer ii dishay?
Then Yahweh opened the donkey's mouth so she could talk. She said to Balaam, “What have I done to you that induced you to strike me these three times?”
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 replied to the donkey, “It was because you acted so stupidly with me. I wish there were a sword in my hand. If there were, by now I would have killed 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 to Balaam, “Am not I your donkey on which you have ridden all your life long to this present day? Have I ever been in the habit of doing such things to you before?” Balaam said, “No.”
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.
Then Yahweh opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the road with his drawn sword in his hand. Balaam lowered his head and lay facedown.
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.
The angel of Yahweh said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Look, I have come as someone hostile to you because your actions before me have been wicked.
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.
The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If she had not turned away from me, I would certainly have killed you and spared her life.”
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 to the angel of Yahweh, “I have sinned. I did not know that you stood against me in the road. So now, if it is displeasing to you, I will turn back.”
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.
But the angel of Yahweh said to Balaam, “Go on ahead with the men. But you must only speak the words that I tell you.” So Balaam went with the leaders of Balak.
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.
When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him at a city in Moab at the Arnon, which is on the border.
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?
Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not send men to you to summon you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?”
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.
Then Balaam replied to Balak, “See, I have come to you. Do I now have any power to say anything? I can only say the words that God puts into my mouth.”
39 Markaasaa Balcaam raacay Baalaaq, oo waxay yimaadeen Qiryad Xusood.
Balaam went with Balak, and they arrived at Kiriath Huzoth.
40 Markaasaa Baalaaq allabari u bixiyey dibi iyo ido, oo wax buu u diray Balcaam iyo amiirradii isaga la joogay.
Then Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep and gave some meat to Balaam and 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.
In the morning, Balak took Balaam up to the high place of Baal. From there Balaam could see only a part of the Israelites in their camp.
