1 Nígbà náà àwọn ọmọ Israẹli rin ìrìnàjò lọ sí pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Moabu wọ́n sì pa ibùdó lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ Jordani tí ó kọjá lọ sí Jeriko.
After, the children of Israel departed and pitched in the plaine of Moab on the other side of Iorden from Iericho.
2 Nísinsin yìí, Balaki ọmọ Sippori rí gbogbo ohun tí àwọn Israẹli ti ṣe sí àwọn ará Amori,
Now Balak the sonne of Zippor sawe all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
3 ẹ̀rù sì ba Moabu nítorí pé ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn wà níbẹ̀ nítòótọ́, Moabu kún fún ẹ̀rù nítorí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
And the Moabites were sore afraide of the people, because they were many, and Moab fretted against the children of Israel.
4 Moabu sọ fún àwọn àgbàgbà Midiani pé, “Nísinsin yìí ni àwọn wọ̀nyí yóò lá gbogbo ohun tí ó yí wa ká, bí màlúù ṣe ń jẹ koríko tí ó wà nínú oko.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Balaki ọmọ Sippori, tí ó jẹ́ ọba Moabu nígbà náà,
Therfore Moab said vnto the Elders of Midian, Nowe shall this multitude licke vp all that are round about vs, as an oxe licketh vp ye grasse of the fielde: and Balak the sonne of Zippor was King of the Moabites at that time.
5 rán oníṣẹ́ pé Balaamu ọmọ Beori, tí ó wà ní Petori, ní ẹ̀bá odò Eufurate, ti ilẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ. Balaki sọ pé, “Àwọn ènìyàn kan jáde wá láti Ejibiti; wọ́n bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé wọ́n sì pa ibùdó súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi.
Hee sent messengers therefore vnto Balaam the sonne of Beor to Pethor (which is by the riuer of the lande of the children of his folke) to call him, saying, Beholde, there is a people come out of Egypt, which couer the face of the earth, and lye ouer against me.
6 Nísinsin yìí, wá fi àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí bú, nítorí wọ́n ní agbára jù fún mi. Nípa ṣíṣe èyí èmi ó ṣẹ́gun wọn, kí n sì lé wọn kúrò ní ilẹ̀ yìí. Nítorí tí mo mọ̀ pé ìbùkún ni fún àwọn tí ìwọ bá bùkún, ìfibú sì ni ẹni tí ìwọ bá fi bú.”
Come now therefore, I pray thee, and curse me this people (for they are stronger then I) so it may be that I shall be able to smite them, and to driue them out of the land: for I knowe that hee, whome thou blessest, is blessed, and he whom thou cursest, shall be cursed.
7 Àti àwọn àgbàgbà Moabu àti Midiani sì lọ pẹ̀lú owó àyẹ̀wò lọ́nà wọn, nígbà tí wọ́n dé ọ̀dọ̀ Balaamu, wọ́n sọ nǹkan tí Balaki sọ fún wọn.
And the Elders of Moab, and the Elders of Midian departed, hauing the reward of the soothsaying in their hande, and they came vnto Balaam, and tolde him the wordes of Balak.
8 “Ẹ sùn níbí lálẹ́ yìí,” Balaamu sọ fún un pé, “èmi ó padà wá fún un yín ní èsì nǹkan tí Olúwa bá wí fún mi.” Nítorí tí àwọn ìjòyè Moabu dúró sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
Who answered them, Tary here this night, and I will giue you an answere, as the Lord shall say vnto mee. So the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
9 Ọlọ́run tọ Balaamu wá ó sì wí pé, “Ta ni àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ yìí?”
Then God came vnto Balaam, and sayde, What men are these with thee?
10 Balaamu sọ fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Balaki ọmọ Sippori, ọba Moabu, rán iṣẹ́ yìí sí mi pé,
And Baalam said vnto God, Balak ye sonne of Zippor, king of Moab hath set vnto me, saying,
11 ‘Àwọn ènìyàn kan ti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti jáde wá tí wọ́n bo ojú ilẹ̀. Nísinsin yìí, wá, kí o wá fi wọ́n bú fún mi. Bóyá èmi yóò lè bá wọn jà, èmi ó sì lé wọn jáde.’”
Beholde, there is a people come out of Egypt and couereth the face of the earth: come nowe, curse them for my sake: so it may be that I shalbe able to ouercome them in battell, and to driue them out.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run sọ fún Balaamu pé, “Má ṣe bá wọn lọ. Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ gé ègún lé àwọn ènìyàn náà lórí, nítorí a ti bùkún wọn.”
And God said vnto Balaam, Go not thou with them, neither curse the people, for they are blessed.
13 Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì Balaamu dìde ó sì sọ fún àwọn ìjòyè Balaki pé, “Ẹ padà sí orílẹ̀-èdè yín, nítorí tí Olúwa ti kọ̀ láti jẹ́ kí n tẹ̀lé yín.”
And Balaam rose vp in the morning, and sayde vnto ye princes of Balak, Returne vnto your land: for the Lord hath refused to giue me leaue to go with you.
14 Nígbà náà àwọn ìjòyè Moabu sì padà tọ Balaki lọ wọ́n sì wí pé, “Balaamu kọ̀ láti tẹ̀lé wa.”
So the princes of Moab rose vp, and went vnto Balak, and sayd, Balaam hath refused to come with vs.
15 Nígbà náà Balaki rán àwọn ìjòyè mìíràn tí wọ́n pọ̀ àwọn tí wọ́n sì níyì ju alákọ́kọ́ lọ.
Balak yet sent againe moe princes, and more honourable then they.
16 Wọ́n lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Balaamu wọ́n sì sọ pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Balaki ọmọ Sippori sọ, má ṣe jẹ́ kí ohunkóhun kí ó dè ọ́ lọ́nà láti wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi,
Who came to Balaam, and sayde to him, Thus saith Balak the sonne of Zippor, Bee not thou staied, I pray thee, from comming vnto me.
17 nítorí pé èmi yóò fún ọ ní ẹ̀bùn dáradára, èmi yóò sì ṣe ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá sọ. Wá, kí o sì wá fi àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí bú fún mi.”
For I wil promote thee vnto great honour, and wil do whatsoeuer thou sayest vnto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n Balaamu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Kódà tí Balaki bá fún mi ní ààfin rẹ̀ tí ó kún fún fàdákà àti wúrà, èmi kò ní ṣe ohunkóhun tí ó tóbi tàbí kéré tí ó kọjá òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi.
And Balaam answered, and sayde vnto the seruants of Balak, If Balak woulde giue me his house full of siluer and golde, I can not goe beyonde the worde of the Lord my God, to doe lesse or more.
19 Nísinsin yìí ẹ dúró níbí di ọjọ́ kejì gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn tókù ti ṣe nígbà náà èmi yóò mọ ohun tí Olúwa yóò tún sọ fún mi.”
But nowe, I pray you, tary here this night, that I may wit, what the Lord will say vnto mee more.
20 Ní alẹ́ ọjọ́ náà Ọlọ́run sì tọ Balaamu wá ó sì sọ wí pé, “Nígbà tí ọkùnrin yìí ti wá pè ọ́, lọ pẹ̀lú wọn, ṣùgbọ́n ẹnu nǹkan tí mo sọ fún ọ ni kí o ṣe.”
And God came vnto Balaam by night, and sayd vnto him, If the men come to call thee, rise vp, and goe with them: but onely what thing I say vnto thee, that shalt thou doe.
21 Balaamu dìde ní òwúrọ̀, ó sì di ẹrù lé kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ̀ òun pẹ̀lú àwọn ìjòyè Moabu.
So Balaam rose vp early, and sadled his asse, and went with the princes of Moab.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run bínú gidigidi, angẹli Olúwa sì dúró lójú ọ̀nà láti dojú ìjà kọ ọ́. Balaamu ń gun kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ méjì sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
And ye wrath of God was kindled, because he went: and the Angel of the Lord stood in the way to be against him, as he rode vpon his asse, and his two seruants were with him.
23 Nígbà tí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ náà sì rí angẹli Olúwa tí ó dúró ní ojú ọ̀nà pẹ̀lú idà tí a fàyọ ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ó kọjú kúrò ní ọ̀nà lọ sínú oko. Balaamu sì lù ú pé kí ó gbé òhun padà lọ sí ojú ọ̀nà.
And when the asse saw the Angel of the Lord stand in the way, and his sworde drawen in his hand, the asse turned out of the way and went into the field, but Balaam smote the asse, to turne her into the way.
24 Nígbà náà angẹli Olúwa dúró ní ojú ọ̀nà tóóró láàrín ọgbà àjàrà, pẹ̀lú ògiri ní ọ̀nà méjèèjì.
Againe the Angel of the Lord stood in a path of the vineyardes, hauing a wall on the one side, and a wall on the other.
25 Nígbà tí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rí angẹli Olúwa, ó lẹ̀ mọ́ ẹ̀gbẹ́ ògiri, ó sì rún ẹsẹ̀ Balaamu mọ́ ògiri. Nígbà náà, ó tún nà án, lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i.
And when the asse sawe the Angel of the Lord, she thrust her selfe vnto the wall, and dasht Balaams foote against the wall: wherefore hee smote her againe.
26 Nígbà náà angẹli Olúwa súnmọ́ wájú ó sì dúró níbi ọ̀nà tóóró níbi tí kò ti sí ọ̀nà láti yípadà, bóyá ní ọ̀tún tàbí òsì.
Then the Angel of the Lord went further, and stoode in a narowe place, where was no way to turne, either to the right hand, or to the left.
27 Nígbà tí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rí angẹli Olúwa, ó sì jókòó ní abẹ́ Balaamu, inú sì bí i tó sì nà án pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá rẹ̀.
And when the asse sawe the Angell of the Lord, she lay downe vnder Balaam: therefore Balaam was very wroth, and smote the asse with a staffe.
28 Nígbà náà Olúwa ṣí ẹnu kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, ó sì sọ fún Balaamu pé, “Kí ni mo ṣe fún ọ tí o fi nà mí lẹ́ẹ̀mẹ́ta?”
Then the Lord opened the mouth of the asse, and she saide vnto Balaam, What haue I done vnto thee, that thou hast smitten me nowe three times?
29 Balaamu sọ fún kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ pé, “Nítorí ìwọ fi mí ṣẹ̀sín! Bí mo bá ní idà ní ọwọ́ ni èmi ìbá pa ọ́ nísinsin yìí.”
And Balaam saide vnto the asse, Because thou hast mocked me: I woulde there were a sworde in mine hand, for nowe would I kill thee.
30 Kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ sọ fún Balaamu pé, “Ṣé mi kì í ṣe kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ ni, tí o máa ń gùn ní gbogbo ìgbà, láti ìgbà pípẹ́ wá? Ǹjẹ́ mo hu irú ìwà báyìí sí ọ rí?” “Rárá,” Ó dáhùn.
And the asse saide vnto Balaam, Am not I thine asse, which thou hast ridden vpon since thy first time vnto this day? haue I vsed at any time to doe thus vnto thee? Who said, Nay.
31 Nígbà náà Olúwa ṣí ojú Balaamu, ó sì rí angẹli Olúwa tí ó dúró ní ojú ọ̀nà pẹ̀lú idà rẹ̀ tí ó fàyọ. Ó sì tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba.
And the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he sawe the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with his sword drawen in his hande: then he bowed him selfe, and fell flat on his face.
32 Nígbà náà angẹli Olúwa béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí o fi na kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ nígbà mẹ́ta yìí? Mo wá síbí láti kọ ojú ìjà sí ọ nítorí ọ̀nà rẹ kò tọ́ níwájú mi.
And the Angel of the Lord said vnto him, Wherefore hast thou nowe smitten thine asse three times? beholde, I came out to withstande thee, because thy way is not straight before me.
33 Kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rí mi ó sì yà kúrò fún mi lẹ́ẹ̀mẹ́ta yìí. Tí ó bá jẹ́ wí pé kò yà kúrò. Èmi kì ìbá ti pa ọ́ pátápátá nísinsin yìí, ṣùgbọ́n Èmi yóò sì dá òun sí.”
But the asse sawe me, and turned from me now three times: for els, if she had not turned from me, surely I had euen nowe slaine thee, and saued her aliue.
34 Balaamu sọ fún angẹli Olúwa pé, “Mo ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀, èmi kò mọ̀ pé o dúró níwájú ọ̀nà láti dojúkọ mí, nísinsin yìí tí inú rẹ kò bá dùn, èmi ó padà.”
Then Balaam saide vnto the Angel of the Lord, I haue sinned: for I wist not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore if it displease thee, I will turne home againe.
35 Angẹli Olúwa sọ fún Balaamu pé, “Lọ pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin náà, ṣùgbọ́n nǹkan tí mo sọ fún ọ nìkan ni kí o sọ.” Nígbà náà Balaamu lọ pẹ̀lú àwọn ìjòyè Balaki.
But the Angel said vnto Balaam, Go with the men: but what I say vnto thee, that shalt thou speake. So Balaam went with ye princes of Balak.
36 Nígbà tí Balaki gbọ́ pé Balaamu ń bọ̀ wá, ó jáde lọ láti lọ pàdé rẹ̀ ní ìlú Moabu tí ó wà ní agbègbè Arnoni, ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ilẹ̀ rẹ̀.
And when Balak heard that Balaam came, he went out to meete him vnto a citie of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, euen in the vtmost coast.
37 Balaki sì sọ fún Balaamu pé, “Ǹjẹ́ èmi kò a ránṣẹ́ kánjúkánjú sí ọ? Kí ló dé tí ìwọ kò fi wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi? Ṣé èmi kò tó láti sọ ọ́ di ẹni ńlá?”
Then Balak saide vnto Balaam, Did I not sende for thee to call thee? Wherefore camest thou not vnto me? am I not able in deede to promote thee vnto honour?
38 Balaamu sì wí fún Balaki pé, “Kíyèsi, èmi tọ̀ ọ́ wá, èmi kò ha ní agbára kan nísinsin yìí rárá láti wí ohun kan? Mo gbọdọ̀ sọ nǹkan tí Ọlọ́run fi sí mi lẹ́nu.”
And Balaam made answere vnto Balak, Lo, I am come vnto thee, and can I nowe say any thing at all? the worde that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speake.
39 Nígbà náà Balaamu lọ pẹ̀lú Balaki sí Kiriati-Hosotia.
So Balaam went with Balak, and they came vnto the citie of Huzoth.
40 Balaki rú ẹbọ akọ màlúù pẹ̀lú àgùntàn, ó sì fún Balaamu ní díẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ìjòyè tí ó wà ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀.
Then Balak offred bullockes, and sheepe, and sent thereof to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
41 Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì Balaki gbé Balaamu lọ sí Bamoti Baali, láti ibẹ̀ ló ti rí apá kan àwọn ènìyàn.
And on the morowe Balak tooke Balaam, and brought him vp into the hie places of Baal, that thence hee might see the vtmost part of the people.
