民数记 22
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1以色列 人起行，在 摩押 平原、 约旦河 东，对着 耶利哥 安营。
1Then the Israelites traveled on and camped in the plains of Moab near the Jordan, across from Jericho.
2以色列 人向 亚摩利 人所行的一切事， 西拨 的儿子 巴勒 都看见了。
2Now Balak son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites,
3摩押 人因 以色列 民甚多，就大大惧怕，心内忧急，
3and Moab was terrified of the people because they were numerous. Indeed, Moab dreaded the Israelites.
4对 米甸 的长老说：「现在这众人要把我们四围所有的一概舔尽，就如牛舔尽田间的草一般。」那时 西拨 的儿子 巴勒 作 摩押 王。
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,
5他差遣使者往大河边的 毗夺 去，到 比珥 的儿子 巴兰 本乡那里，召 巴兰 来，说：「有一宗民从 埃及 出来，遮满地面，与我对居。
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.
6这民比我强盛，现在求你来为我咒诅他们，或者我能得胜，攻打他们，赶出此地。因为我知道，你为谁祝福，谁就得福；你咒诅谁，谁就受咒诅。」
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.”
7摩押 的长老和 米甸 的长老手里拿着卦金，到了 巴兰 那里，将 巴勒 的话都告诉了他。
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.
8巴兰 说：「你们今夜在这里住宿，我必照耶和华所晓谕我的回报你们。」 摩押 的使臣就在 巴兰 那里住下了。
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.
9神临到 巴兰 那里，说：「在你这里的人都是谁？」
9Then God came to Balaam and asked, “Who are these men with you?”
10巴兰 回答说：「是 摩押 王 西拨 的儿子 巴勒 打发人到我这里来， 说 ：
10And Balaam said to God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent me this message:
11『从 埃及 出来的民遮满地面，你来为我咒诅他们，或者我能与他们争战，把他们赶出去。』」
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.’”
12神对 巴兰 说：「你不可同他们去，也不可咒诅那民，因为那民是蒙福的。」
12But God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them. You are not to curse this people, for they are blessed.”
13巴兰 早晨起来，对 巴勒 的使臣说：「你们回本地去吧，因为耶和华不容我和你们同去。」
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.”
14摩押 的使臣就起来，回 巴勒 那里去，说：「 巴兰 不肯和我们同来。」
14And the princes of Moab arose, returned to Balak, and said, “Balaam refused to come with us.”
15巴勒 又差遣使臣，比先前的又多又尊贵。
15Then Balak sent other princes, more numerous and more distinguished than the first messengers.
16他们到了 巴兰 那里，对他说：「 西拨 的儿子 巴勒 这样说：『求你不容什么事拦阻你不到我这里来，
16They came to Balaam and said, “This is what Balak son of Zippor says: ‘Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me,
17因为我必使你得极大的尊荣。你向我要什么，我就给你什么；只求你来为我咒诅这民。』」
17for I will honor you richly and do whatever you say. So please come and put a curse on this people for me!’”
18巴兰 回答 巴勒 的臣仆说：「 巴勒 就是将他满屋的金银给我，我行大事小事也不得越过耶和华—我 神的命。
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.
19现在我请你们今夜在这里住宿，等我得知耶和华还要对我说什么。」
19So now, please stay here overnight as the others did, that I may find out what else the LORD has to tell me.”
20当夜， 神临到 巴兰 那里，说：「这些人若来召你，你就起来同他们去，你只要遵行我对你所说的话。」
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.”
21巴兰 早晨起来，备上驴，和 摩押 的使臣一同去了。
21So in the morning Balaam got up, saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
22神因他去就发了怒；耶和华的使者站在路上敌挡他。他骑着驴，有两个仆人跟随他。
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.
23驴看见耶和华的使者站在路上，手里有拔出来的刀，就从路上跨进田间， 巴兰 便打驴，要叫它回转上路。
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.
24耶和华的使者就站在葡萄园的窄路上；这边有墙，那边也有墙。
24Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow passage between two vineyards, with walls on either side.
25驴看见耶和华的使者，就贴靠墙，将 巴兰 的脚挤伤了； 巴兰 又打驴。
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.
26耶和华的使者又往前去，站在狭窄之处，左右都没有转折的地方。
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.
27驴看见耶和华的使者，就卧在 巴兰 底下， 巴兰 发怒，用杖打驴。
27When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam, and he became furious and beat her with his staff.
28耶和华叫驴开口，对 巴兰 说：「我向你行了什么，你竟打我这三次呢？」
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?”
29巴兰 对驴说：「因为你戏弄我，我恨不能手中有刀，把你杀了。」
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!”
30驴对 巴兰 说：「我不是你从小时直到今日所骑的驴吗？我素常向你这样行过吗？」 巴兰 说：「没有。」
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.
31当时，耶和华使 巴兰 的眼目明亮，他就看见耶和华的使者站在路上，手里有拔出来的刀， 巴兰 便低头俯伏在地。
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.
32耶和华的使者对他说：「你为何这三次打你的驴呢？我出来敌挡你，因你所行的，在我面前偏僻。
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.
33驴看见我就三次从我面前偏过去；驴若没有偏过去，我早把你杀了，留它存活。」
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.”
34巴兰 对耶和华的使者说：「我有罪了。我不知道你站在路上阻挡我；你若不喜欢我去，我就转回。」
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.”
35耶和华的使者对 巴兰 说：「你同这些人去吧！你只要说我对你说的话。」于是 巴兰 同着 巴勒 的使臣去了。
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.
36巴勒 听见 巴兰 来了，就往 摩押 京 城去迎接他；这城是在边界上，在 亚嫩河 旁。
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.
37巴勒 对 巴兰 说：「我不是急急地打发人到你那里去召你吗？你为何不到我这里来呢？我岂不能使你得尊荣吗？」
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?”
38巴兰 说：「我已经到你这里来了！现在我岂能擅自说什么呢？ 神将什么话传给我，我就说什么。」
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.”
39巴兰 和 巴勒 同行，来到 基列·胡琐 。
39So Balaam accompanied Balak, and they came to Kiriath-huzoth.
40巴勒 宰了牛羊，送给 巴兰 和陪伴的使臣。
40Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and he gave portions to Balaam and the princes who were with him.
41到了早晨， 巴勒 领 巴兰 到 巴力 的高处； 巴兰 从那里观看 以色列 营 的边界。
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.
