民数记 22
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1以色列 人起行，在 摩押 平原、 约旦河 东，对着 耶利哥 安营。
1The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at 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。
2Balak the 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，
3Moab was very afraid of the people, because they were many. Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
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。
4Moab 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.
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 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.
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。」
6Please 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.”
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 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.
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。
8He 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.
9神临到 巴兰 那里，说：「在你这里的人都是谁？」
9God came to Balaam, and said, “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 ：
10Balaam said to God, “Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has said to me,
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, 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.’”
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。」
12God said to Balaam, “You shall not go with them. You shall not curse the 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。」
13Balaam 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.”
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。」
14The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, “Balaam refuses to come with us.”
15巴勒 又差遣使臣，比先前的又多又尊贵。
15Balak again sent princes, more, and more honorable than they.
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 to him, “Balak the 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 promote you to very great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse 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。
18Balaam answered the servants of Balak, “If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
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。」
19Now therefore please stay here tonight as well, that I may know what else the LORD will speak to 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。」
20God 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.”
21巴兰 早晨起来，备上驴，和 摩押 的使臣一同去了。
21Balaam rose up in the morning, and 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。
22God’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.
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。
23The 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.
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 LORD’s angel stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that 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。
25The 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.
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。
26The 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.
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。
27The donkey saw the LORD’s angel, and she lay down under Balaam. Balaam’s anger burned, and he struck the donkey 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？」
28The 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?”
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 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.”
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。」
30The 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 before me these three times. Unless she had turned away from me, surely now I would have killed you, and saved her alive.”
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。」
34Balaam said to the LORD’s angel, “I have sinned; for I didn’t know that you stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases you, I will go back again.”
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。
35The 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.
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 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.
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？」
37Balak said to Balaam, “Didn’t I earnestly send for you to summon you? Why didn’t you come to me? Am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?”
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。」
38Balaam 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.”
39巴兰 和 巴勒 同行，来到 基列·胡琐 。
39Balaam went with 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 sent to Balaam, and to 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。
41In the morning, Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from there part of the people.
