1Then the Israelites traveled on and camped in the plains of Moab near the Jordan, across from Jericho.
1Одатле се подигоше синови Израиљеви, и стадоше у логор у пољу моавском с оне стране Јордана према Јерихону.
2Now Balak son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites,
2И виде Валак, син Сефоров све што учини Израиљ Амореју.
3and Moab was terrified of the people because they were numerous. Indeed, Moab dreaded the Israelites.
3И уплаши се Моав од народа веома; јер га беше много, и притужи Моаву од синова Израиљевих.
4So the Moabites said to the elders of Midian, “This horde will devour everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field.” Since Balak son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time,
4Па рече Моав старешинама мадијанским: Сада ће ова множина појести све што је око нас као во траву у пољу. А Валак, син Сефоров беше у оно време цар моавски.
5he sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the Euphrates in the land of his people. “Behold, a people has come out of Egypt,” said Balak. “They cover the face of the land and have settled next to me.
5И посла посланике к Валаму, сину Веоровом у Фатуру, која је на реци у земљи народа његовог, говорећи: Ево народ изиђе из Мисира, ево прекрило је земљу, и стоји према мени.
6So please come now and put a curse on this people, because they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land; for I know that those you bless are blessed, and those you curse are cursed.”
6Него ходи, прокуни ми овај народ, јер је јачи од мене, е да бих му одолео и побио га или истерао из земље ове; јер знам, кога благословиш биће благословен, а кога прокунеш биће проклет.
7The elders of Moab and Midian departed with the fees for divination in hand. They came to Balaam and relayed to him the words of Balak.
7И отидоше старешине моавске и старешине мадијанске носећи дарове за врачање; и дођоше к Валаму, и казаше му речи Валакове.
8“Spend the night here,” Balaam replied, “and I will give you the answer that the LORD speaks to me.” So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
8А он им рече: Останите овде ову ноћ, и одговорићу вам како ми Господ каже. И осташе кнезови моавски код Валама.
9Then God came to Balaam and asked, “Who are these men with you?”
9А Бог дође к Валаму и рече му: Какви су то људи код тебе?
10And Balaam said to God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent me this message:
10И рече Валам Богу: Валак син Сефоров, цар моавски, посла их к мени говорећи:
11‘Behold, a people has come out of Egypt, and they cover the face of the land. Now come and put a curse on them for me. Perhaps I may be able to fight against them and drive them away.’”
11Ево народ изиђе из Мисира и прекрили земљу; него ходи, прокуни ми га, е да бих га надбио и отерао га.
12But God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them. You are not to curse this people, for they are blessed.”
12А Бог рече Валаму: Не иди с њима, нити куни тај народ, јер је благословен.
13So Balaam got up the next morning and said to Balak’s princes, “Go back to your homeland, because the LORD has refused to let me go with you.”
13И ујутру уставши Валам рече кнезовима Валаковим; вратите се у своју земљу јер ми не да Бог да идем с вама.
14And the princes of Moab arose, returned to Balak, and said, “Balaam refused to come with us.”
14И уставши кнезови моавски дођоше к Валаку, и рекоше: Не хте Валам поћи с нама.
15Then Balak sent other princes, more numerous and more distinguished than the first messengers.
15Тада опет посла Валак више кнезова и веће од првих.
16They came to Balaam and said, “This is what Balak son of Zippor says: ‘Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me,
16И они дошавши к Валаму рекоше му: Овако вели Валак, син Сефоров: Немој се затезати, молим те, него дођи к мени.
17for I will honor you richly and do whatever you say. So please come and put a curse on this people for me!’”
17Јер ћу те добро даривати, и шта ми год кажеш чинићу; зато дођи, молим те, прокуни ми овај народ.
18But Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, “If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything small or great to go beyond the command of the LORD my God.
18А Валам одговори и рече слугама Валаковим: Да ми да Валак кућу своју пуну сребра и злата, не бих могао преступити речи Господа Бога свог да учиним шта мало или велико.
19So now, please stay here overnight as the others did, that I may find out what else the LORD has to tell me.”
19Али опет останите овде и ви ову ноћ да видим шта ће ми сада казати Господ.
20That night God came to Balaam and said, “Since these men have come to summon you, get up and go with them, but you must only do what I tell you.”
20И дође Бог ноћу к Валаму и рече му: Кад су дошли ти људи да те зову, устани, иди с њима, али шта ти кажем оно да чиниш.
21So in the morning Balaam got up, saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
21А ујутру уставши Валам осамари магарицу своју, и пође с кнезовима моавским.
22Then God’s anger was kindled because Balaam was going along, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
22Али се разгневи Бог што он пође; и стаде анђео Господњи на пут да му не да; а он сеђаше на магарици својој и имаше са собом два момка своја.
23When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, she turned off the path and went into a field. So Balaam beat her to return her to the path.
23А кад магарица виде анђела Господњег где стоји на путу с голим мачем у руци, сврну магарица с пута и пође преко поља. А Валам је стаде бити да је врати на пут.
24Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow passage between two vineyards, with walls on either side.
24А анђео Господњи стаде на стазу међу виноградима, а беше зид и одовуд и одонуд.
25And the donkey saw the angel of the LORD and pressed herself against the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat her once again.
25И магарица видећи анђела Господњег приби се уз други зид, и притиште ногу Валамову о зид; а он је стаде опет бити.
26And the angel of the LORD moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn to the right or left.
26Потом анђео Господњи отиде даље, и стаде у теснацу, где не беше места да се сврне ни надесно ни налево.
27When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam, and he became furious and beat her with his staff.
27И магарица видећи анђела Господњег паде под Валамом, а Валам се врло разљути, и стаде бити магарицу својим штапом.
28Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you that you have beaten me these three times?”
28Тада Господ отвори уста магарици, те она рече Валаму: Шта сам ти учинила, те ме бијеш већ трећи пут?
29Balaam answered the donkey, “You have made a fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now!”
29А Валам рече магарици: Што ми пркосиш? Да имам мач у руци, сад бих те убио.
30But the donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not the donkey you have ridden all your life until today? Have I ever treated you this way before?” “No,” he replied.
30А магарица рече Валаму: Нисам ли твоја магарица? Јашеш ме од како сам постала твоја до данас; јесам ли ти кад тако учинила? А он рече: Ниси.
31Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand. And Balaam bowed low and fell facedown.
31Тада Господ отвори очи Валаму, који угледа анђела Господњег где стоји на путу с голим мачем у руци. И он сави главу и поклони се лицем својим.
32The angel of the LORD asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to oppose you, because your way is perverse before me.
32И рече му анђео Господњи: Зашто си био магарицу своју већ три пута? Ево ја изиђох да ти не дам, јер твој пут није мени по вољи.
33The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If she had not turned away, then by now I would surely have killed you and let her live.”
33Кад ме угледа магарица, она се уклони испред мене већ три пута; а да се није уклонила испред мене, тебе бих већ убио, а њу бих оставио у животу.
34“I have sinned,” Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, “for I did not realize that you were standing in the road to confront me. And now, if this is displeasing in your sight, I will go back home.”
34А Валам рече анђелу Господњем: Згрешио сам, јер нисам знао да ти стојиш преда мном на путу; ако теби није по вољи, ја ћу се вратити.
35But the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but you are to speak only what I tell you.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
35А анђео Господњи рече Валаму: Иди с тим људима, али само оно говори што ти ја кажем. Тада Валам отиде с кнезовима Валаковим.
36When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the Moabite city on the Arnon border, at the edge of his territory.
36А кад чу Валак да иде Валам, изиђе му на сусрет у град моавски на међи арнонској накрај међе.
37And he said to Balaam, “Did I not send you an urgent summons? Why did you not come to me? Am I really not able to richly reward you?”
37И рече Валак Валаму: Нисам ли слао к теби и звао те? Зашто ми не дође? Еда ли те не могу даривати?
38“See, I have come to you,” Balaam replied, “but can I say just anything? I must speak only the word that God puts in my mouth.”
38А Валам рече Валаку: Ево сам дошао к теби; али хоћу ли моћи шта говорити? Шта ми Бог метне у уста, оно ћу говорити.
39So Balaam accompanied Balak, and they came to Kiriath-huzoth.
39И отиде Валам с Валаком, и дођоше у град Узот.
40Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and he gave portions to Balaam and the princes who were with him.
40И накла Валак волова и оваца, и посла Валаму и кнезовима, који беху с њим.
41The next morning, Balak took Balaam and brought him up to Bamoth-baal. From there he could see the outskirts of the camp of the people.
41А ујутру узе Валак Валама и одведе га на висину Валову, и оданде му показа један крај народа.
