Minbu 22
1 Hichun Israel mite Moab phaicham langa akitol un Jordan sahlam Jericho mun’a chun akichol dotauvin ahi.
And the children of Israel moved forward, and encamped in the plains of Moab on this side of Jordan by Jericho.
2 Zippor chapa Moab mite lengpa Balak in Isreal miten Amor mite chunga anatoh jouse’u kidang asah behseh tan ahi.
And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
3 Moab miten Isreal mite ahung kitol taove veuvin amaho chu tijatnan adimset un ahi.
And Moab was greatly afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
4 Moab lengpa chun Midian mite lamkai ho kom ah ahil chah taovin, mipi ima bol lal toh lal anei lou diu ahi bong hang in hampa hing avel lhum tobanga loulai a avet lhih jeng ding ahi tin lengpa henga chun aseiyin ahi.
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 Thu athot tan Balaam pa chapa heng nga hiche Balak kitipa khu amaho gam Pithor leh Euphrates vadung kom a pansah cheng chu Balak thucheng hiche hohi athot in, veuvin hiche mipi ho hi Eygpt apat na hung kipat doh ahiuvin, amaho hin leiset pumpi alo dim tauvin chule amaho leiset mite kinai tah in aum mun ahi.
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 hast a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide opposite to me:
6 Lungset tah in hung phei in Isreal mite hi gaosap in ajeh chu keima toh kito din ahat val un ahi. Hiche teng chule kavang aphat le keiman amaho chu hiche leiset na pat ahi kadal doh thei ahin keima kahet na aum in nangma hitabang mite chung nga vang naboh le amaho chung nga chu vangboh-phatthei na chang ding u chule nangma in na gaosap te chung nga chu sapset nachan diu ahi.
Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse for me this people; for they are too mighty for me: perhaps 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 Balak’s ding a thutan seiphong nga nang ho chu Midian le Moab mite aki go doh tauvin, Sumle pai toh Balaam chu Isreal mite chung nga agao sap na ding in, amaho chu ache tauvin Balak lam ah thuthot ding in akalsong tauve.
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 Balaam in adonbut in tujan hikom ah geh den tan ati, keiman jingkah tengleh kasei peh ding nahi tai Pathen in itobang a ei houlim pi ding ham? Hiti ahi jeh chun Moab a konna migun hochu Balaam toh ageh khom tauvin ahi.
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 Hiche nijan chun Pathen Vantil in Balaam heng ngah koiba hitam nangma toh kimuto a hung jihohi tin aseiye.
And God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
10 Balaam in Pathen Vantil hengah asei tan Zippor kiti pa chapa Balak Moab lengpan hiche thu hohi eihin thot e, ati.
And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent to me, saying,
11 Vetan Eygpt a patna hung kipat doh mi hon hijat aum uvin chuleh Amahon vannoi pumpi alo dim tauve. Hiche mipi hohi hung gaosap in, hung tem in chuti leh keiman amaho chu ka nodoh jou thei khat leh tia eihung tem ahiuve.
Behold, there hast a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
12 Ahinlah Pathen Vantil in Balaam chu ahin houlimpi tan, hiche mite hi Pathen phatthei chang ahi tauvin amaho na gaosap lou ding chuleh amaho lam nache loubeh ding ahi, ati.
And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
13 Balaam aki thoudoh in hiche nikho a jing chun Balak mi hung lamkai ho komma hitin asei tan, nangho in lam a che tauvin Pathen Vantil in nangma hotoh chekhom din ei phal poi ati tai.
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Go back to your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
14 Hichun Moab lamkai milun ho chu Balak lengpa komma din aki nung le tauvin chule amahon Balaam thuthot ho chu ahung thadiu thaset naho chu asei peh taovin ahi.
And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
15 Balak in khatvei apatep kit in hiche phat na hi Balak in migun tamtah asol lin amijat jong tamjo chule aphat masah peh sang a thupijo ahi.
And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
16 Amaho chu Balaam heng lamah acheuvin hiche thu hohi aga lhut tauve, hiche thucheng hohi Balak kiti Zippor chapan asei tan, lungset tah in emacha kisuh boisah hih beh in keima komma nahunga neikithopi nadin, ati.
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 Keiman nangma hoitah a tohman ka bol peh ding nahi chule ipi hita jongle nangmain bol lin nati chu ka bol peh ding hiche mite hohi a gaosap din ki gong in hung jeng in ati.
For I will promote thee to very great honour, and I will do whatever thou sayest to me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse this people for me.
18 Ahinlah Balaam in Balak chu hitin a donbut in Balaam in alenggam toh ei peh tha henlang sana dangka toh kikoi dimset hita jongle ka Pathen lungdei lou ahikhah le keiman imacha ka bol theina ding’a, thilbol theina neilou ka hi ding ahiye, ati.
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 Ahinlah jan khat tabang umbe un, keiman jong Pakai, Pathen in kahenga epi aseibe ding ham kahetdoh thei nadin.
Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say to me more.
20 Hiche ni jan chun Pathen Vantil chu Balaam heng a ahung kilah tan hiche miluntah hohi na heng’a ding a hung kholjin ahi tah jeh un, nangma kipatdoh inlang amaho toh chekhom un, ahinlah nangman keima thupeh na jui ding ahi.
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 Hichun ajing in Balaam aki thoudoh in asangan a atoudoh in Moab mite lamkai hochu toh akipat doh tauvin ahi.
And Balaam rose in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
22 Hitia Balaam ache jeh chun, Pathen chu alunghang tan hijeh chun Pakai Vantil asol in lamlen laitah a Balaam tingtan ding chun ana pang tai. Balaam chu asoh mini toh kilhon ahi.
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 donkey, and his two servants were with him.
23 Balaam sangan chun Pakai Vantil lamlen na aum a, achemjam akhut a achoi chu a mudoh tan sangan chu lamlen a kon in phailei lam a lhai lha tan amavang Balaam in sangan chu ajep in lamlen ah ahin puilut kit tan ahi.
And the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the donkey turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the donkey, to turn her into the way.
24 Hichun Pakai vantil chu lam ajum lang aneo lang lengpi thei lei teni kikah ah ana ding tan ahi.
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 Sangan chun Pathen Vantil chu amu phat in aki tol doh kigo in Balaam keng toh bang chu anom beh khatai. Hichun Balaam in sangan chu ajep kit tan ahi.
And when the donkey 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 Pakai Vantil chu aki phei khin doh kit in akeng jep ah chun, ajet le avei ja sangan lhaidoh na ding umlou na ahchun ana ting kit’e.
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 Hi chun sakol chun Pakai Vantil chu amu phat in, Balaam anoija abohkhup tan ahileh, Balaam chu alung hang lheh in sangan chu ajep tai.
And when the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the donkey with a staff.
28 Hichun Pakaiyin sangan chu thusei theina apen; Balaam chu ahin donbut in, “Ipi kabol khel’a thumveijen nei jep hitam?” tin adong tai.
And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
29 Nang in kei mingol tah neiso tah hila” tin Balaam akisen in, “Ka khut na hin chemjam um choi hileng ka dot lih ding na hitai”, ati.
And Balaam said to the donkey, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee.
30 Na damsung’a na tou jingna na sangan chu kahi hilou ham? tin Sangan chun ahin donbut in, Keima nidang a chu hitabang a hi ka um khah em? ati. Balaam in adonbut in “Ahi nai! Na um khapoi” ati.
And the donkey said to Balaam, Am not I thy donkey, upon which thou hast rid ever since I was thine to this day? was I ever accustomed to do so to thee? And he said, Nay.
31 Hichun Pakai-Pathen in Balaam mitchu ahin hadoh sah tan hichun Balaam in Pakai Vantil lamka laiya adin’a chemjam akhutna aki choi chu amu phat in, amai ja akun suh in Pakai Pathen abohkhup tai.
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 Pakai Vantil chun thudoh anei jin, ipi bolla na sangan chu navoh hitam ati Ven- keima nalampi su bing nga hung nga kahi ijeh inam itileh nangma hi mi louchal tah nahi, ati.
And the angel of the LORD said to him, Why hast thou smitten thy donkey these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
33 Sangan chun thumveijen ei mu ahin ei otdoh ji, tun keima in Sangan hi ka hoidoh sah a nangma hi katha doh ding nahi tai.
And the donkey 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 Hichun Balaam min Pakai vantil komma chun ngaidam athum tan, keima kachon kheltan keiman ka lampia neina tin chu ka geldoh lou ahi. Ka in lam ah kinungle kit tang kate, Pakai jin neiphal peh lou leh tin aseiye.
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 displease thee, I will return again.
35 Ahilah, Pakai- Pathen chun Balaam chu a donbut in hiche miho toh hin kilhon in chen, Ahinlah kei seiho bou na bol ding ahi. Hichun Balaam chu Balak milun ho chu toh achekhom tauvin ahi.
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 Balak Lengpa in Balaam chu ahung ahet phat in lamlen’a kimu pi din ache tai, Balak chu Moab mite gam ning gei Arnon vadung gei aga lam ton ahi.
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 border.
37 Balak in Balaam thudoh aneitan keima heng nga gang tah a nahung na ding a thu ka hin nei hilou ham Ibol’a na hung louham ati. Keiman kipa man ka peh dia ka thutep hohi na tahsan louham tin asei in ahi.
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 honour?
38 Balaam min a donbut in ven, keima vang ka hung tai ahinlah keiman bolthei imacha ka nei poi, keiman ka dei dei a jong ka seithei ahi poi, Pakai, Pathen in ka kam a eipeh bou ka kasei doh ding ahi bouve, ati.
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 Hichun Balaam min Balak chu Kiriath Huzoth tigei aki lhon pin ahi.
And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjathhuzoth.
40 Hilai mun achun Balak lengpan abolngai jing bang in, kengoi le Bongchal ah pumgo thilto maicham aneijin ahi. Balak in hiche Saphe tham khat chu Balaam toh alhonpi ho chu apen ahi.
And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
41 A jing jingkah chun Balak in Balaam chu Bamoth Baal molsang chung a apuidoh in, ahi, ajeh chu hilai mun apat na hi Israel mite vahle ho chu a umna apat kimu ahi.
And it came to pass on the next morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up to the high places of Baal, that from there he might see the utmost part of the people.
