Numbers 22
1 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.
Nionjom-beo o ana’Israeleo nitobe an-tanemira’ i Moabe alafe’ Iardene tandrife Ierikò ey.
2 Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Ie amy zao hene nioni’ i Balak’ ana’ i Tsipore i nanoe’ Israele amo nte-Emoreoy.
3 Moab was very afraid of the people, because they were many. Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
Aa le nirevendreveñe am’ondatio t’i Moabe kanao ninihanìha ty hamaro’e; le nanembetse i Moabe o ana’ Israeleo.
4 Moab said to the elders of Midian, “Now this multitude will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field.” Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.
Aa le hoe ty Moabe amo roandria’ i Midianeo, Fonga ho tselà’ i lahialeñey ze mañohoke an-tika manahake ty famelehan’ añombe o ahetse an-kivok’ ey. Mpanjaka’ o nte-Moabeo henane zay t’i Balak’ ana’ i Tsipore.
5 He sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, “Behold, there is a people who came out of Egypt. Behold, they cover the surface of the earth, and they are staying opposite me.
Le nampisangitrife’e mb’amy Balame ana’ i Beore e Petore añolon-tsaka’ an-tanen-te-Arame añe ty irake hikanjiy aze ami’ty hoe: Inao, nivotrake boake Mitsraime añe t’indaty; hehe t’ie manitsike ty ambone’ ty tane toy vaho mitobe marine ahiko etoa.
6 Please come now therefore, and curse this people for me; for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”
Mb’etoa aniany koahe, ozoño ho ahy ondatio, ie manjofake te amako. Hera ho gioheko le ho soiheñe hiakatse an-tane atoy, fa apotako te soa tata o tatae’oo vaho fatran-tane o ozoñe’oo.
7 The elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand. They came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.
Aa le niavotse mb’eo o roandria’ i Moabeo naho o roandria’ i Midianeo reketse ty saram-pamorehañe am-pitàñe vaho niheo mb’amy Balame mb’eo ninday ty nisaontsia’ i Balake.
8 He said to them, “Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me.” The princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
Le hoe re tam’ iereo, mialeña atoy te anito, le hañerem-bolañ’ ama’ areo raho, ze ho tsarae’ Iehovà amako. Aa le nialeñe amy Balame ao o roandria’ i Moabeo.
9 God came to Balaam, and said, “Who are these men with you?”
Niheo mb’amy Balame t’i Andrianañahare nanao ty hoe: Ia ondaty mitraok’ ama’oo?
10 Balaam said to God, “Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has said to me,
Le hoe t’i Balame aman’ Añahare, Nampañitrike ty saontsy toy amako t’i Balak’ ana’ i Tsipore:
11 ‘Behold, the people that has come out of Egypt covers the surface of the earth. Now, come curse them for me. Perhaps I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.’”
Heheke ondaty hirike Mitsraime añeo: tsitsihe’ iareo ty ambone’ ty tane toy; aa le mb’etoa rehe, ozoño ho ahiko; hera hahalefeako aly vaho haronjeko añe.
12 God said to Balaam, “You shall not go with them. You shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.”
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Balame, Tsy hindreza’o fañaveloañe; tsy hozoñe’o ondatio fa soa-tata.
13 Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, “Go to your land; for the LORD refuses to permit me to go with you.”
Aa le nitroatse maraiñe t’i Balame nanao ty hoe amo roandria’ i Balàkeo, Mimpolia mb’ an-tane’ areo añe, amy te nifoneñe t’Iehovà tsy nañomey ahy lily hindrezako.
14 The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, “Balaam refuses to come with us.”
Aa le niongake o roandria’ i Moabeo nimpoly mb’ amy Balàke mb’eo, nanao ty hoe: Tsy nimete nindre ama’ay t’i Balame.
15 Balak again sent princes, more, and more honorable than they.
Nañitrik’ ana-donake indraike t’i Balake, ondaty maro naho ambone’ lohàñe te amo teoo.
16 They came to Balaam, and said to him, “Balak the son of Zippor says, ‘Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me,
Aa le niheo mb’ amy Balame mb’eo indaty rey nanao ty hoe, Hoe t’i Balak’ ana’ i Tsipore, Ko anga’o ndra inoñ’ inoñe ty hisebañe azo tsy homb’ amako mb’etoa;
17 for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse this people for me.’”
toe ho rengèko vaho hanoeko ze saontsia’o. Aa le miambane ama’o t’ie homb’etoa hañozoñe ondatio ho ahiko.
18 Balaam answered the servants of Balak, “If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
Le hoe ty natoi’ i Balame amo mpitoro’ i Balakeo, Ndra te natolo’ i Balak’ amako ty anjomba’e pea volafoty naho volamena le tsy mete handilatse ty tsara’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko raho hanao ndra inoñ’ inoñe ke t’ie bey he kede.
19 Now therefore please stay here tonight as well, that I may know what else the LORD will speak to me.”
Aa le mialeña amako etoa manahake ty nanoe’ o ila’eo haharendrehako ze tsara hatovo’ Iehovà amako.
20 God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, “If the men have come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that you shall do.”
Le niheo mb’ amy Balame amy haleñey t’i Andrianañahare nanao ty hoe ama’e, Aa naho nimb’ama’o mb’ atoy ondatio hikanjy azo, miavota naho indrezo; fe ze entañe hatoloko azo avao ty hanoe’o.
21 Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
Aa le nañaleñaleñe t’i Balame nanampe fitobohañe amy borìke’ey, vaho nitrao-dia amo androanavi’ i Moabeo.
22 God’s anger burned because he went; and the LORD’s angel placed himself in the way as an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
Fe nampamiañe ty haviñeran’ Añahare i fañavelo’ey, vaho nijohañe hikalañe i lala’ey ty Anjeli’ Iehovà, hiatreatrea’e hoe rafelahy. Ie amy zao niningitse borìke naho nindre ama’e ty mpitoro’e roe.
23 The donkey saw the LORD’s angel standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the donkey turned out of the path, and went into the field. Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her into the path.
Nahatrea i Anjeli’ Iehovày nijohañe an-dalañe ey reketse fibara natsoak’ am-pità’e i borìkey, le nivioñe amy lalañey i borìkey nitsile mb’an-tetek’ ao, le finofo’ i Balame ty lafa hampibalik’ aze mb’amy lalañey.
24 Then the LORD’s angel stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
Le nijohañe ami’ ty zitse añivo’ ty tanem-bahe roe ey i Anjeli’ Iehovày, ty kijoly etia naho ty kijoly etia.
25 The donkey saw the LORD’s angel, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall. He struck her again.
Ie nitrea’ i borìkey i Anjeli’ Iehovày le nioza amy rindriñey, vaho nanindry ty kitso’ i Balame amy rindriñey, aa le linafa’e indraike.
26 The LORD’s angel went further, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
Nihànkañe aolo ey amy zao i Anjeli’ Iehovày nijohañe añ’ oloñoloñe ey, le tsy eo ty hivioñañe ndra mañavana ndra mañavia.
27 The donkey saw the LORD’s angel, and she lay down under Balaam. Balaam’s anger burned, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
Naho nizoe’ i borìkey i Anjeli’ Iehovày le nibabok’ ambane’ i Balame eo; tsekak’ amy zao ty haboseha’ i Balame le finofo’e an-kobai’e i borìkey.
28 The LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”
Aa le sinoka’ Iehovà ty vava’ i borìkey, vaho hoe re amy Balame, Ino ty nanoeko ama’o kanao linafa’o intelo aniany?
29 Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you.”
Le hoe t’i Balame amy borìkey, Amy t’ie nanalatse ahy, le nainako te ni-reke-pibara ty tañako henaneo hamonoako azo!
30 The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long until today? Was I ever in the habit of doing so to you?” He said, “No.”
Aa le hoe i borìkey amy Balame, Tsy zaho hao o borìke’oo, i niningira’o amo hene tao’o pake henaneoy? Liliko hao ty manao zao ama’o? Aiy, hoe re.
31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the LORD’s angel standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.
Aa le nampibeahe’ Iehovà ty fihaino’ i Balame naho niisa’e nijohañe amy lalañey i anjeliy, am-pibara napontsoañe am-pità’e; le nibotreke re nibabok’ an-dahara’e.
32 The LORD’s angel said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way is perverse before me.
Le hoe i Anjeli’ Iehovày ama’e, Inoñe ty nijerà’o i borìke’oy in-telo? Nimb’ atoy raho am-pirafelahiañe, amy te ihe manao hajangaringaria añatrefako.
33 The donkey saw me, and turned away before me these three times. Unless she had turned away from me, surely now I would have killed you, and saved her alive.”
Nitrea’ i borìkey raho le nivioña’e intelo. Aa naho tsy niholiara’e le toe ho nañe-doza ama’o raho anianikey vaho ho nengako velon-dre.
34 Balaam said to the LORD’s angel, “I have sinned; for I did not know that you stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases you, I will go back again.”
Le hoe t’i Balame amy Anjeli’ Iehovày, Nanao hakeo raho fa tsy napotako te nijohañe an-dalañe ey rehe hiatreatre ahy. Aa naho joy ty am-pihano’o le himpoly raho.
35 The LORD’s angel said to Balaam, “Go with the men; but you shall only speak the word that I shall speak to you.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
Aa le hoe i Anjeli’ Iehovày amy Balame, Akia, mindreza am’ondaty reo, fe ze entañe volañeko ama’o avao ty ho taroñe’o. Aa le nañavelo nindre lia amy androanavi’ i Balàke rey t’i Balame.
36 When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border.
Ie jinanji’ i Balake te fa tsatoke t’i Balame le niavotse mb’e Ire-Moabe mb’amy efe-tane efera’ i Arnoney, ty efe’e lavitse ama’e mb’eo hifanalaka ama’e.
37 Balak said to Balaam, “Did not I earnestly send for you to summon you? Why did not you come to me? Am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?”
Le hoe t’i Balak’ amy Balame, Aa vaho tsy nimaneako hitrike naho kanjy v’iheo? Ino ty tsy nañaveloa’o mb’amako. Tsy haiko hao ty hiasy azo?
38 Balaam said to Balak, “Behold, I have come to you. Have I now any power at all to speak anything? I will speak the word that God puts in my mouth.”
Le hoe t’i Balame amy Balake, Intoy fa ama’o! meteko hao ty hanao ndra inoñ’ inoñe? Tsy mahay tsy ze tsara apon’ Añahare am-bavako ao avao ty ho taroñeko.
39 Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth.
Aa le nindre lia amy Balake t’i Balame vaho nipotìtse e Keriat-kozote eo.
40 Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes who were with him.
Nisoroñe añombe naho añondry amy zao t’i Balake vaho nañitrifa’e t’i Balame naho o androanavy nindre ama’eo.
41 In the morning, Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from there part of the people.
Ie amy maraiñey le nendese’ i Balake nañambone’ i Bamà-Baale t’i Balame, le eo re ro nahatalake ty indra’ ondatio.
