1Te phoeiah Israel ca rhoek te cet uh tih Jerikho kah Jordan rhalvangan phai, Moab kolken ah rhaeh uh.
1The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.
2Israel loh Amori taengah a saii boeih te Zippor capa Balak loh a hmuh.
2Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
3Israel he khaw muep a ping dongah Moab khaw pilnam mikhmuh ah bakuep. Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Moab a mueipuel.
3Moab was very afraid of the people, because they were many. Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
4Te dongah Moab loh Midian kah a hamca rhoek taengah, “Vaito loh khohmuen kah baelhing a laem bangla mamih kaepvai kah a cungkuem he hlangping loh a laem uh pawn ni,” a ti nah. Te vaeng tue ah Moab kah manghai tah Zippor capa Balak ni.
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.
5Te dongah a pilnam paca rhoek kah khohmuen tuiva kaep kah Pethor Beor capa Balaam taengah puencawn a tueih. Anih te a khue tih, “Egypt lamkah aka thoeng pilnam he, diklai hman te a khuk tih kai imdan la kho a sak he.
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.
6Te dongah halo lamtah he pilnam he kai lakah tah a tlung oeh dongah kai yueng la thaephoei thil mai laeh. Anih ngawn ham neh khohmuen lamloh anih ka haek thai khaming. Yoethen na paek hlang te a yoethen tih thae na phoei thil te tah thaephoei a yook te ka ming,” a ti nah.
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.”
7Te dongah Moab kah a hamca neh Midian kah a hamca rhoek khaw, amih kut khuikah bihma rhoek khaw cet uh. Balaam taengla a pha uh vaengah a taengah Balak ol te a thui uh.
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.
8Te vaengah amih te, “Hlaem at khaw pahoi rhaeh uh lamtah BOEIPA loh kai taengah a thui bangla nangmih taengah ol kam mael bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Moab mangpa rhoek tah Balaam taengah om uh.
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.
9Te vaengah Pathen loh Balaam te a paan tih, “Na taengkah rhoek he u hlang nim?” a ti nah.
9God came to Balaam, and said, “Who are these men with you?”
10Balaam loh Pathen taengah, “Moab manghai Zippor capa Balak loh kai taengla han tueih.
10Balaam said to God, “Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has said to me,
11Egypt lamkah aka pawk pilnam loh diklai hman a khuk coeng ke. Te dongah halo anih te kai yueng la tap laeh. Anih tloek ham neh anih haek ham a coeng khaming,” a ti nah.
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.’”
12Pathen loh Balaam te, “Amih taengah cet boeh, pilnam te a yoethen coeng tih thaephoei boeh,” a ti nah.
12God said to Balaam, “You shall not go with them. You shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.”
13Te dongah Balaam te mincang ah thoo tih Balak kah mangpa rhoek te, “Nangmih taengah kai caeh sak ham khaw BOEIPA loh a aal dongah namah kho la cet uh laeh,” a ti nah.
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.”
14Te dongah Moab mangpa rhoek tah thoo uh tih Balak taengla pawk uh. Te vaengah, “Balaam loh kaimih taengah lo ham a aal,” a ti nah.
14The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, “Balaam refuses to come with us.”
15Tedae Balak loh amih lakah a yet ngai neh aka lalh ngai mangpa rhoek te a koei tih koep a tueih.
15Balak again sent princes, more, and more honorable than they.
16Balaam taengla a pawk uh vaengah amah te, “Zippor capa Balak loh, 'Kai taengla na lo ham te uelh boeh.
16They came to Balaam, and said to him, “Balak the son of Zippor says, ‘Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me,
17Nang te muep kan thangpom rhoe kan thangpom vetih kai taengah na thui boeih te ka ngai bitni. Te dongah halo lamtah he pilnam he kai yueng la tap mai,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
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.’”
18Tedae Balaam loh a doo tih Balak kah sal taengah, “Kai he Balak loh a im kah a bae la cak neh sui m'pae cakhaw Ka Pathen BOEIPA kah olka tah ka poe ham a coeng moenih, a yit a len khaw ngai ham ni.
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.
19Te dongah nangmih khaw he ah he hlaem at om uh mai laeh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA loh kai taengah thui hamla mebang a thap khaw ka ming eh?,” a ti nah.
19Now therefore please stay here tonight as well, that I may know what else the LORD will speak to me.”
20Khoyin ah tah Pathen te Balaam taengla cet tih amah te, “Nang te khue ham hlang rhoek ha pawk atah thoo lamtah amih neh cet. Tedae nang taengah kanthui ol mah ngai,” a ti nah.
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.”
21Balaam te mincang ah thoo tih a laak te a khih tih Moab mangpa rhoek taengla cet.
21Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
22Tedae anih a caeh dongah Pathen thintoek te sai. Te dongah BOEIPA puencawn tah anih te longpueng ah khingkhoekkung bangla a pai pah. Te vaengah amah te a laak dongah ngol tih a taengah a tueihyoeih rhoi om.
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.
23Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn tah longpuei ah pai tih a kut dongah a cunghang a yueh te laak loh a hmuh. Te dongah laak te long lamloh hooi uh tih lohma la cet. Te dongah longpuei la mael sak ham Balaam lohlaak te a taam.
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.
24Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn te misurdum kah longcaek ah a pai pah. He ah khaw vongtung, ke ah khaw vongtung a om pah.
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.
25Laak loh BOEIPA kah puencawn te a hmuh vaengah pangbueng te a nen tih Balaam kho te pangbueng dongah a nen thil. Te dongah laak a taam te a khoep.
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.
26Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh koep a kan tih banvoei bantang la mael ham la longpuei aka om pawh hmuen ah a caek la pai.
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.
27Laak loh BOEIPA kah puencawn te a hmuh vaengah Balaam dangah a kol pah. Te vaengah Balaam thintoek te sai tih laak te conghol neh a taam.
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.
28Te vaengah BOEIPA loh laak kah aka te a ong pah tih Balaam te, “Nang taengah balae ka saii tih kai thik thum nan boh,” a ti nah.
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?”
29Balaam loh laak te, “Kai he nan poelyoe dongah he, ka kut ah cunghang om vetih nang kang ngawn laeh mako,” a ti nah.
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.”
30Laak loh Balaam te, “Kai he nang kah laak moenih a? Kai soah he tahae khohnin due koep na ngol, he he nang taengah saii ham ka hmaiben khaw ka hmaiben nim?,” a ti vaengah, “Pawh,” a ti nah.
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.”
31Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Balaam mik te a phen pah. Te dongah a kut ah a cunghang a pom tih longpuei ah aka pai BOEIPA kah puencawn te a hmuh. Te daengah buluk tih a thintoek neh bakop.
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.
32BOEIPA kah puencawn loh anih te, “Balae tih na laak te thik thum na boh, ka hmai ah longpuei a mueng dongah kai he khingkhoekkung la ka pawk.
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.
33Laak loh kai m'hmuh dongah ka mikhmuh lamloh voei thum a rhael. Ka mikhmuh lamloh rhael pawt koinih nang te khaw kang ngawn pawn vetih anih bueng ka hing sak khaming.
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.”
34Balaam loh BOEIPA kah puencawn taengah, “Longpuei ah kai mah ham na pai te ka ming pawt dongah ka tholh coeng. Na mik ah a thae oeh atah kai he ka mael voithum mael pawn ni,” a ti nah.
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.”
35BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Balaam te, “Hlang rhoek neh cet lamtah nang taengah ka thui ol te mah thui,” a ti nah. Te dongah Balaam khaw Balak kah mangpa rhoek taengah cet.
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.
36Balaam halo te Balak loh a yaak van neh khorhi khobawt, Arnon khorhi kah Moab khopuei ah anih te doe hamla cet.
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.
37Te vaengah Balak loh Balaam te, “Nang te khue ham nang taengah kan tueih rhoe kan tueih moenih a? Balae tih kai taengla na lo pawh, nang thangpom ham ka coeng tang moenih a?” a ti nah.
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?”
38Balaam loh Balak te, “Nang taengla ka pawk coeng he, ol pakhat khaw thui ham ka coeng khaw ka coeng venim? Pathen loh ka ka dongah a khueh te ka thui eh?,” a ti nah.
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.”
39Te phoeiah Balaam te Balak taengah cet tih Kirjathhuzoth la pawk rhoi.
39Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth.
40Te vaengah Balak loh saelhung neh boiva khaw a ngawn tih Balaam taeng neh amah taengkah mangpa rhoek taengah a thak.
40Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes who were with him.
41Mincang a pha vaengah Balak loh Balaam te a loh tih Bamothbaal la a khuen. Te vaengah pilnam a bawtnah lamloh pahoi tueng.
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.
