Numero 22
1 Intultuloy dagiti Israelita ti nagdaliasat agingga a nagkampoda kadagiti patad a lugar ti Moab nga asideg iti Jerico, iti ballasiw ti Karayan Jordan manipud iti siudad.
And the children of Israel departed, and encamped on the west of Moab by Jordan toward Jericho.
2 Nakita ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor ti amin nga inaramid dagiti Israelita kadagiti Amorreo.
And when Balac son of Sepphor saw all that Israel did to the Amorite,
3 Kasta unay ti buteng ti Moab kadagiti tattao gapu ta aduda, ken nagamak ti Moab kadagiti Israelita.
then Moab feared the people exceedingly because they were many; and Moab was grieved before the face of the children of Israel.
4 Kinuna ti ari ti Moab kadagiti panglakayen iti Midianita, “Kanento dagitoy a bunggoy ti amin nga adda iti aglawlawtayo kas panagarab ti baka iti ruroot iti talon.” Ita, ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor ket isu ti ari ti Moab iti dayta a tiempo.
And Moab said to the elders of Madiam, Now shall this assembly lick up all that are round about us, as a calf would lick up the green [herbs] of the field: —and Balac son of Sepphor was king of Moab at that time.
5 Nangibaon ni Balak kadagiti mensahero kenni Balaam nga anak ni Beor, idiay Petor nga asideg iti Karayan Eufrates, iti daga ti nasionna ken tattaona. Inayabanna ni Balaam ket kinunana, “Kitaem, ummay ditoy ti maysa a nasion a naggapu idiay Egipto. Kalkalubanda ti rupa ti daga ket addadan ita iti asidegko.
And he sent ambassadors to Balaam the son of Beor, to Phathura, which is on a river of the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people is come out of Egypt, and behold it has covered the face of the earth, and it has encamped close to me.
6 Isu a pangngaasim ta umayka itan ket ilunodmo daytoy a nasion para kaniak, gapu ta napigsada unay para kaniak. Nalabit a kabaelakton ida a darupen ken patalawen manipud iti daga. Ammok a mabendisionanto ti siasinoman a bendisionam, ken mailunodto ti siasinoman nga ilunodmo.”
And now come, curse me this people, for it is stronger than we; if we may be able to strike some of them, and I will cast them out of the land: for I know that whoever you do bless, they are blessed, and whoever you do curse, they are cursed.
7 Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti panglakayen iti Moabita ken dagiti panglakayen dagiti Midianita nga awit-awitda ti bayad iti panangilunod. Dimtengda iti ayan ni Balaam ket imbagada kenkuana dagiti sasao ni Balak.
And the elders of Moab went, and the elders of Madiam, and their divining [instruments were] in their hands; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balac.
8 Kinuna ni Balaam kadakuada, “Umiankayo ditoy ita a rabii. Ibagakto kadakayo ti ibaga ni Yahweh kaniak.” Immian ngarud dagiti pangulo iti Moabita iti ayan ni Balaam ti dayta a rabii.
And he said to them, Tarry here the night, and I will answer you the things which the Lord shall say to me; and the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
9 Immay ti Dios kenni Balaam ket kinunana, “Siasino dagitoy a lallaki nga immay kenka?”
And God came to Balaam, and said to him, Who are these men with you?
10 Simmungbat ni Balaam iti Dios, “Imbaon ida kaniak ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor, ti ari iti Moab. Kinunana,
And Balaam said to God, Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab, sent them to me, saying,
11 “Kitaem, dagiti tattao a naggapu iti Egipto ket kinalubanda ti rabaw ti dagak. Umayka itan ket ilunodmo ida para kaniak. Nalabit a kabaelakto a karanget ida ken mapatalawko ida,'”
Behold, a people has come forth out of Egypt, and has covered the face of the land, and it has encamped near to me; and now come, curse it for me, if indeed I shall be able to strike it, and cast it out of the land.
12 Insungbat ti Dios kenni Balaam, “Saan a rumbeng a sumurotka kadagitoy a lallaki. Saan a rumbeng nga ilunodmo dagiti Israelita gapu ta nabendisionandan.”
And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them, neither shall you curse the people; for they are blessed.
13 Bimmangon ni Balaam iti bigat ket kinunana kadagiti papangulo ni Balak, “Agsublikayon iti dagayo gapu ta saan nga impalubos ni Yahweh a sumurotak kadakayo.”
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balac, Depart quickly to your lord; God does not permit me to go with you.
14 Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti papangulo ti Moab ket nagsublida kenni Balak. Kinunada, “Nagkedked ni Balaam a sumurot kadakami.”
And the princes of Moab rose, and came to Balac, and said, Balaam will not come with us.
15 Nangibaon manen ni Balak iti ad-adu a papangulo nga ad-adda a mararaem ngem kadagiti immuna a bunggoy.
And Balac yet again sent more princes and more honorable than they.
16 Dimtengda iti ayan ni Balaam ket kinunada kenkuana, “Ibagbaga daytoy ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor, “Pangngaasim ta saanmo nga ipalubos nga adda makalapped kenka iti iyaaymo kaniak,
And they came to Balaam, and they say to him, Thus says Balac the son of Sepphor: I beseech you, delay not to come to me.
17 gapu ta bayadanka iti nawadwad ken raemenka iti kasta unay, ken aramidek ti aniaman nga ibagam kaniak. Isu a pangngaasim ta umayka ket ilunodmo dagitoy a tattao para kaniak.'”
For I will greatly honor you, and will do for you whatever you shall say; come then, curse me this people.
18 Simmungbat ni Balaam ket kinunana kadagiti tattao ni Balak, “Uray no ited kaniak ni Balak ti palasiona a napnoan iti pirak ken balitok, saan a mabalin nga un-unaak ti sao ni Yahweh a Diosko, ken aramiden ti kabassitan ken kadakkelan a banag ngem iti ibagbagana kaniak.
And Balaam answered and said to the princes of Balac, If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord God, to make it little or great in my mind.
19 Ita ngarud, aguraykayo met ditoy ita a rabii, tapno maammoak ti aniaman a mainayon nga ibaga ni Yahweh kaniak.”
And now do you also wait here this night, and I shall know what the Lord will yet say to me.
20 Immay ti Dios kenni Balaam iti dayta a rabii ket kinunana kenkuana, “Agsipud ta immay dagitoy a lallaki a mangay-ayab kenka, agrubwatka ket sumurotka kadakuada. Ngem aramidem laeng ti ibagak kenka.”
And God came to Balaam by night, and said to him, If these men are come to call you, rise and follow them; nevertheless the word which I shall speak to you, it shall you do.
21 Bimmangon ni Balaam iti agsapa, sinilyaanna ti asnona, ket kimmuyog kadagiti pangulo ti Moab.
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
22 Ngem gapu ta napan isuna, nariing ti pungtot ti Dios. Nagtakder ti anghel ni Yahweh iti dalan tapno lapdanna ni Balaam a sisasakay iti asnona. Kadua met ni Balaam dagiti dua nga adipenna.
And God was very angry because he went; and the angel of the Lord rose up to withstand him. Now he had mounted his ass, and his two servants were with him.
23 Nakita ti asno ti anghel ni Yahweh nga agtaktakder iti kalsada nga iggemna ti kampilanna. Simmina iti kalsada ti asno ket nagturong iti kataltalonan. Sinaplitan ni Balaam ti asno tapno agsubli daytoy iti kalsada.
And when the ass saw the angel of God standing opposite in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, then the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field; and [Balaam] struck the ass with his staff to direct her in the way.
24 Ket nagtakder manen ti anghel ni Yahweh iti nailet a paset ti kalsada a nagbaetan dagiti kaubasan, nga adda bakud iti makannawanna kasta met iti makannigidna.
And the angel of the Lord stood in the avenues of the vines, a fence [being] on this side and a fence on that.
25 Nakita manen ti asno ti anghel ni Yahweh. Impilitna ti lumsot iti bakud ket naipit ti saka ni Balaam. Sinaplitan manen ni Balaam ti asno.
And when the ass saw the angel of God, she thrust herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall, and he struck her again.
26 Immun-una ti anghel ni Yahweh ket timmakder iti sabali pay a nailet a disso nga awanen ti dalan a mabalin a paglusotan.
And the angel of the Lord went farther, and came and stood in a narrow place where it was impossible to turn to the right or the left.
27 Nakita ti asno ti anghel ni Yahweh, ket inyiddanan a sisasakay pay laeng ni Balaam kenkuana. Ad-adda a nagpungtot ni Balaam, ket imbaotna ti bastonna iti asno.
And when the ass saw the angel of God, she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam was angry, and struck the ass with his staff.
28 Ket linukatan ni Yahweh ti ngiwat ti asno tapno makasao daytoy. Kinunana kenni Balaam, “Ania ti inaramidko kenka tapno ablatannak iti mamitlo a daras?”
And God opened the mouth of the ass, and she says to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have struck me this third time?
29 Simmungbat ni Balaam iti asno, “Gapu ta pagbalbalinennak a maag. Adda la koma kampilan iti imak. Ta no adda, napatayka koma itan.”
And Balaam said to the ass, Because you have mocked me; and if I [had] had a sword in my hand, I would now have killed you.
30 Kinuna ti asno kenni Balaam, “Saan kadi a siak ti asnom a sinaksakayam iti las-ud iti panagbiagmo inggana ita? Adda kadin inaramidko a kastoy idi?” “Awan,” kinuna ni Balaam.
And the ass says to Balaam, [Am] not I your ass on which you have ridden since your youth till this day? did I ever do thus to you, utterly disregarding [you]? and he said, No.
31 Kalpasanna, linukatan ni Yahweh ti mata ni Balaam, ket nakitana ti anghel ni Yahweh a sitaktakder iti kalsada nga adda iggemna a kampilan. Nagdumog ni Balaam ket nagpakleb isuna.
And God opened the eyes of Balaam, and he sees the angel of the Lord withstanding [him] in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, and he stooped down and worshipped on his face.
32 Kinuna ti anghel ni Yahweh kenkuana. “Apay a sinaplitam ti asnom iti namitlo? Kitaem, immayak a manglapped kenka gapu ta dakes iti imatangko ti ar-aramidem.
And the angel of God said to him, Why have you struck your ass this third time? and, behold, I came out to withstand you, for your way was not seemly before me; and when the ass saw me, she turned away from me this third time.
33 Nakitanak ti asno ket linisiannak iti namitlo a daras. No saannak a linisian, napatayka koma ket naispal ti biagna.”
And if she had not turned out of the way, surely now, I should have slain you, and should have saved her alive.
34 Kinuna ni Balaam iti anghel ni Yahweh, “Nagbasolak. Saanko nga ammo nga agtaktakderka iti kalsada a manglaplapped kaniak. Ita ngarud, no saan a makaay-ayo kenka daytoy a panagdaliasatko, agsubliak iti naggapuak.”
And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing opposite in the way to meet [me]; and now if it shall not be pleasing to you [for me to go on], I will return.
35 Ngem kinuna ti anghel ni Yahweh kenni Balaam, “Kumuyogka latta kadagiti lallaki. Ngem masapul a dagiti sasao laeng nga ibagak kenka ti ibagam.” Simmurot ngarud ni Balaam kadagiti papangulo ni Balak.
And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men: nevertheless the word which I shall speak to you, that you shall take heed to speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balac.
36 Idi nadamag ni Balak a paumayen ni Balaam, rimmuar isuna tapno sabtenna ni Balaam iti siudad ti Moab idiay Arnon nga adda iti nagbeddengan.
And when Balac heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him, to a city of Moab, which is on the borders of Arnon, which is on the [extreme] part of the borders.
37 Kinuna ni Balak kenni Balaam, “Saan kadi a nangibaonak kadagiti lallaki a mangayab kenka? Apay a saanka nga immay kaniak? Saanko kadi a kabaelan a raemenka?”
And Balac said to Balaam, Did I not send to you to call you? why have you not come to me? shall I not indeed be able to honor you?
38 Ket simmungbat ni Balaam kenni Balak, “Kitaem, addaakon iti ayanmo. Adda kadin kalintegak nga agsao iti aniaman a banag? Ti laeng maibagak ket dagiti sasao ti Dios nga ikabkabilna iti ngiwatko.”
And Balaam said to Balac, Behold, I am now come to you: shall I be able to say anything? the word which God shall put into my mouth, that I shall speak.
39 Simmurot ni Balaam kenni Balak, ket nakadanonda idiay Kiriat Husot.
And Balaam went with Balac, and they came to the cities of streets.
40 Kalpasanna, nangidaton ni Balak iti baka ken karnero ket nangted isuna iti sumagmamano a karne kenni Balaam ken kadagiti pangulo a kakaduana.
And Balac offered sheep and calves, and sent to Balaam and to his princes who were with him.
41 Kabigatanna, inkuyog ni Balak ni Balaam a simmang-at idiay Bamot Baal. Manipud sadiay, dagiti laeng bassit a paset ti kampo dagiti Israelita ti nakita ni Balaam.
And it was morning; and Balac took Balaam, and brought him up to the pillar of Baal, and showed him thence a part of the people.
