Na Helu 22
1 HELE aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a hoomoana iho la ma na papu o Moaba, ma keia aoao o Ioredane e ku pono ana i Ieriko.
And the children of Israel moved forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side of Jordan [by] Jericho.
2 A ike aku la o Balaka ke keiki a Zipora i ka mea a pau a ka Iseraela i hana aku ai i ka Amora.
And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
3 Makau loa iho la o Moaba i ua poe kanaka la, no ka mea, he lehulehu lakou: a ua pilikia o Moaba no na mamo a Iseraela.
And Moab was greatly afraid of the people, because they [were] many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
4 Olelo aku la o Moaba i na lunakahiko o Midiana, E pau auanei na mea a pau o kakou i ka paluia e keia poe kanaka, e like me ka palu ana o ka bipi i ka weuweu o ke kula. A o Balaka ke keiki a Zipora ke alii o ka Moaba ia manawa.
And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all [that are] around us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor [was] king of the Moabites at that time.
5 No ia mea, hoouna aku la ia i mau elele io Balaama la ke keiki a Beora i Petora ma ka muliwai o ka aina o na keiki o kona poe kanaka, e kii ia ia, i aku la, Eia hoi, he poe kanaka i hele mai nei mai Aigupita mai: aia hoi, ke uhi paapu nei lakou i ka aina, a e noho ku pono ana lakou io'u nei.
He sent messengers therefore to Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which [is] by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there has a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:
6 Nolaila la, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele mai oe e olelo hoino aku no'u i keia poe kanaka; no ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u: malia e loaa paha ia'u ka ikaika e hahau aku ai makou ia lakou, a e kipaku au ia lakou mawaho o ka aina: no ka mea, ua ike no wau, o kau e hoomaikai aku ai, oia ke hoopomaikaiia; a o kau e olelo hoino aku ai, oia ke hoopoinoia.
Come now therefore, I pray thee, Curse for me this people; for they [are] too mighty for me: it may be I shall prevail, [that] we may smite them, and [that] I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom thou blessest [is] blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
7 Hele aku la na lunakahiko o Moaba me na lunakahiko o Midiana, me ka uku no ka anaana ana: a hiki aku la lakou io Balaama la, a hai aku la ia ia i ka olelo a Balaka.
And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.
8 I mai la oia ia lakou, e moe oukou maanei i keia po, a e hai aku au ia oukou e like me ka Iehova e olelo mai ai ia'u; a noho iho la na luna o Moaba me Balaama.
And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
9 Hele mai la ke Akua io Balaama la, ninau mai la, Owai keia poe kanaka me oe?
And God came to Balaam, and said, What men [are] these with thee?
10 I aku la o Balaama i ke Akua, O Balaka ke keiki a Zipora, ke alii o Moaba, ua hoouna mai io'u nei, [i ka i ana, ]
And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent to me, [saying],
11 Aia hoi he poe kanaka i hele mai nei mai Aigupita mai, uhi paapu lakou i ka aina: e hele mai hoi oe e olelo hoino aku ia lakou no'u; malia paha e lanakila au i ke kaua ana aku ia lakou, a e kipaku aku ia lakou.
Behold, [there has] a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse them for me: it may be I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
12 Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Balaama, Mai hele aku oe me lakou: mai olelo hoino aku i ua poe kanaka la; no ka mea, ua hoomaikaiia lakou.
And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they [are] blessed.
13 Ala ae la o Balaama i kakahiaka, i aku la i na luna o Balaka, E hoi oukou i ko oukou aina; no ka mea, aole i ae mai o Iehova ia'u e hele me oukou.
And Balaam rose in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Depart into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
14 Ku ae la na luna o Moaba, a hoi aku la io Balaka la, i aku la, Ua hoole mai o Balaama aole e hele mai me makou.
And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
15 Hoouna hou aku la o Balaka i na luna, he nui aku, a he oi hoi ko lakou koikoi i ko kela poe.
And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.
16 Hele aku la lakou io Balaama la, i aku ia ia, Penei ka Balaka ka ke keiki a Zipora e olelo mai nei, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, i keakea ole kekahi mea ia oe i ka hele ana mai io'u nei:
And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming to me:
17 No ka mea, e hoohanohano loa aku au ia oe, a e hana aku au i na mea a pau au e olelo mai ai ia'u: ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele mai hoi, e olelo hoino aku no'u i keia poe kanaka.
For I will promote thee to very great honor, and I will do whatever thou sayest to me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse this people for me.
18 Olelo mai la o Balaama, i mai la i na kauwa a Balaka, Ina e haawi mai o Balaka ia'u i ke kala a me ke gula a piha kona hale, aole e hiki ia'u ke hoohala i ka olelo a Iehova a ko'u Akua, i ka hoemi iho, i ka oi aku paha.
And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
19 No ia mea, ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e noho hoi oukou ia nei i keia po, i ike au i ka mea a Iehova e olelo hou mai ai ia'u.
Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say to me more.
20 Hele mai la ke Akua io Balaama la ia po iho, i mai la ia ia, Ina paha e hele mai ua mau kanaka la e hea mai ia oe, e ala ae oe e hele pu me lakou; aka, o ka olelo a'u e hai aku ai ia oe, oia kau e hana'i.
And God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men come to call thee, rise [and] go with them; but yet the word which I shall say to thee, that shalt thou perform.
21 Ala ae la o Balaama i kakahiaka, hoee aku la i ka noho maluna o kona hoki, a hele pu aku la me na luna o Moaba.
And Balaam rose in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
22 Ua hoaia ka inaina o ke Akua, no kona hele ana; a ku mai la ka anela o Iehova ma ke alanui, i mea ku e mai ia ia. E holo ana ia maluna o kona hoki, elua ana mau kauwa me ia.
And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants [were] with him.
23 Ike aku la ka hoki i ka anela o Iehova e ku ana ma ke ala, a me kana pahikana i unuhiia ma kona lima; huli ae la ka hoki mawaho o ke ala, a hele aku la ma ke kula; a hahau iho la o Balaama i ka hoki, e hoohuli hou ia ia ma ke ala.
And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
24 Aka, ku ae la ka anela o Iehova ma ke ala o na pawaina, he papohaku ma kela aoao, a he papohaku ma keia aoao.
But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall [being] on this side, and a wall on that side.
25 A ike aku la ka hoki i ka anela o Iehova, pipika ae la ia ma ka papohaku, a pepe iho la ka wawae o Balaama i ka papohaku; a hahau hou iho la kela ia ia.
And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
26 A hele hou aku la ka anela o Iehova, a ku iho la ma kahi haiki, aole wahi e huli ae ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema.
And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where [was] no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27 A ike aku la ka hoki i ka anela o Iehova, hina iho la ia malalo o Balaama; huhu iho la o Balaama, a hahau iho la ia i ka hoki me ke kookoo.
And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
28 Wehe ae la o Iehova i ka waha o ka hoki, a i mai la ia ia Balaama, Heaha ka'u i hana aku ai ia oe, i pakolu ai kau hahau ana mai ia'u?
And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
29 I aku la o Balaama i ka hoki, No ka mea, na hana ino mai oe ia'u; ina he pahikana ma ko'u lima, ina ua make oe ia'u.
And Balaam said to the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee.
30 Ninau mai la ka hoki ia Balaama, Aole anei wau o kou hoki, ka mea au i holoholo ai, mai ka manawa i lilo ai au nou, a hiki i neia la? Pela no anei ka'u i hana aku ai ia oe mamua? I aku la kela, Aole.
And the ass said to Balaam, [Am] not I thy ass, upon which thou hast rid ever since [I was] thine to this day? was I ever wont to do so to thee? And he said, Nay.
31 Alaila hookaakaa ae la o Iehova i na maka o Balaama, a ike aku la ia i ka anela o Iehova e ku ana ma ke alanui me ka pahikaua i unuhiia ma kona lima: kulou iho la ia, a moe iho la ilalo ke alo.
Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
32 I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia ia, No ke aha la oe i hahau ai i kou hoki, ekolu hahau ana? Aia hoi, i hele mai nei au e ku e ia oe; no ka mea, ua kekee kou aoao imua o'u.
And the angel of the LORD said to him, Why hast thou smitten thy ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because [thy] way is perverse before me:
33 A ike mai la ka hoki ia'u, a huli ae la mai o'u aku la, ekolu huli ana: he oiaio, ina aole ia i huli ae, mai o'u aku nei, ina ua make oe ia'u, a ola kela.
And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
34 I aku la o Balaama i ka anela o Iehova, Ua hewa wau; aole au i ike ua ku e mai oe ia'u ma ke alanui: ano hoi, a i hewa ia mea ia oe, e hoi hou aku no wau.
And Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displeaseth thee, I will return again.
35 I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Balaama, E hele pu oe me ia mau kanaka; aka, o ka olelo a'u e hai aku ai ia oe, oia wale no kau e olelo aku ai. A hele aku la o Balaama me na luna o Balaka.
And the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak to thee, that thou shalt speak: So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
36 A lohe ae la o Balaka, ua hiki mai o Balaama, hele aku kela e halawai me ia ma kekahi kulanakauhale o Moaba ma ka palena o Arenona, oia no ka palenamamao loa.
And when Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to a city of Moab, which [is] in the border of Arnon, which [is] in the utmost limit.
37 I mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Aole anei au i hoouna ikaika aku iou la, e kii ia oe? Heaha hoi kau i hele ole mai ai io'u nei? Aole anei e hiki ia'u ke hoohanohano ia oe?
And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to thee to call thee? why camest thou not to me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honor?
38 I aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, Eia hoi, ua hiki mai nei au iou la: ia'u no anei kekahi pono iki ke hai aku ia oe i kekahi mea? O ka olelo a ke Akua e waiho mai ai iloko o ko'u waha, oia ka'u e olelo aku ai.
And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I have come to thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
39 Hele pu ae la o Balaama me Balaka, a hiki ae la laua i Kiriatahuzota.
And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjath-huzoth.
40 Mohai aku la o Balaka i na bipi a me na hipa, a hoouna aku la io Balaama la, a i na luna me ia.
And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that [were] with him.
41 A kakahiaka ae la, kono aku la o Balaka ia Balaama, a kai aku la ia ia i kahi kiekie o Baala, i ike aku ai oia ma ia wahi i ka poe kanaka a pau.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and conducted him to the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost [part] of the people.
