Numbers 22
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And the children of Israel journeyed, and pitched in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.
1Mwet Israel mukuiyak som ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos yen tupasrpasr in acn Moab, layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan ma tulanang Jericho.
2And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
2Ke Balak wen natul Zippor, su tokosra lun Moab, el lohng ke ma mwet Israel oru nu sin mwet Amor ac pisen mwet Israel ma oasr we,
3And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many; and Moab was overcome with dread because of the children of Israel.
3el, ac mwet lal nukewa, mutawauk in sangeng ac rarrar.
4And Moab said unto the elders of Midian: 'Now will this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field.' — And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. —
4Mwet Moab fahk nu sin mwet kol lun mwet Midian, “Ac tia paht un mwet se inge ac sukela ma nukewa raunikutyak inge, oana ke soko cow mukul kangla nufon mah ke ima uh.” Ouinge Tokosra Balak
5And he sent messengers unto 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 come out from Egypt; behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me.
5el supwala mwet utuk kas in solalma Balaam wen natul Beor, su muta Pethor apkuran nu Infacl Euphrates in acn Amaw. Elos us kas inge sel Balak nu sel Balaam: “Nga ke akkalemye nu sum lah mutunfacl nufon se tuku Egypt me. Mwet inge osralik yen nukewa, ac nunku in eisla acn sik uh.
6Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me; peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.'
6Elos ku liki kut, ke ma inge nunak munas fahsru fahkla sie kas in selnga nu faclos keik. Na sahp kut fah ku in kutangulosla ac luselosyak liki acn uh. Nga etu lah ke kom akinsewowoye sie mwet, el insewowo, ac ke kom selngawi sie mwet, el selngawiyuk.”
7And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spoke unto him the words of Balak.
7Ouinge kewana mwet kol lun mwet Moab ac lun mwet Midian elos us mani in moli selnga, ac som nu yorol Balaam, ac fahkang kas lal Balak nu sel.
8And he said unto them: 'Lodge here this night, and I will bring you back word, as the LORD may speak unto me'; and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
8Balaam el fahk nu selos, “Mongla yorosr ofong, ac lutu nga fah fahkak nu suwos kutena ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik.” Na mwet kol lun mwet Moab elos muta yorol Balaam.
9And God came unto Balaam, and said: 'What men are these with thee?'
9God El tuku nu yorol Balaam ac siyuk sel, “Su mwet muta yurum inge?”
10And Balaam said unto God: 'Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me saying:
10El topuk, “Tokosra Balak lun mwet Moab el supwalosme in fahk nu sik
11Behold the people that is come out of Egypt, it covereth the face of the earth; now, come curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.'
11lah mutunfacl se tuku Egypt me ac oalik fin acn uh nufon. El lungse nga in selngawelos kacl, tuh elan ku in mweunelos ac luselosla.”
12And God said unto Balaam: 'Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people; for they are blessed.'
12God El fahk nu sel Balaam, “Nik kom wi mwet inge som. Nga akinsewowoye tari mwet Israel, na pa kom in tia selngawelos.”
13And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak: 'Get you into your land; for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.'
13Lotutang tok ah, Balaam el som nu yurin mwet lal Balak ac fahk, “Folokla nu yen suwos. LEUM GOD El tia lela nga in wi kowos som.”
14And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said: 'Balaam refuseth to come with us.'
14Ouinge elos folokla nu yorol Balak ac fahkang nu sel lah Balaam el srangesr welulos.
15And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
15Na Balak el supwala sie u in mwet kol pus liki u se meet ah, ac fulat lukelos.
16And they came to Balaam, and said to him: 'Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor: Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me;
16Elos som nu yorol Balaam ac fahkang kas lal Balak inge: “Nga kwafe kom in tuku na! Nimet sang kutena ma in ikolkomi.
17for I will promote thee unto very great honour, and whatsoever thou sayest unto me I will do; come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.'
17Nga ac moli nu sum ke sie lupa na yohk. Ma nukewa kom fahk an nga ac oru. Nunak munas, fahsru ac selngawiya mwet inge keik.”
18And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak: 'If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do any thing, small or great.
18Tusruktu Balaam el topkolos ac fahk, “Balak el finne ase luk silver ac gold nukewa in lohm sel, nga enenu na in oru oana ma LEUM GOD luk El sapkin nu sik. Nga tia ku in akyokyela ku aksrikyela sap lal.
19Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will speak unto me more.'
19Ke ma inge, nunak munas mongla yorosr ofong oana u se meet ah, na nga fah ku in etu lah ac oasr pac ma LEUM GOD El ac fahk nu sik.”
20And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him: 'If the men are come to call thee, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak unto thee, that shalt thou do.'
20Ke fong sac God El tuku nu yorol Balaam ac fahk, “Mwet inge fin siyuk kom in welulos som, akola kom in welulos. Tusruktu oru na ma nga fahk nu sum uh.”
21And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
21Ouinge Balaam el tukakek ke lotutang tok ah, akoela donkey natul ah, ac wi mwet kol Moab ah som.
22And God's anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of the LORD placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. — Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him. —
22God El kasrkusrak lah Balaam el wi som, na ke Balaam el kasrusr lin donkey natul, ac mwet kulansap luo lal atlol, lipufan lun LEUM GOD tuyak kosrala inkanek uh.
23And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field; and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
23Ke donkey soko ah liyauk lipufan se tu we ac sruok cutlass se, el kuhfla liki inkanek uh ac som nu inimae. Balaam el sringil donkey soko ah ac tolokunulma nu inkanek uh.
24Then the angel of the LORD stood in a hollow way between the vineyards, a fence being on this side, and a fence on that side.
24Na lipufan sac tui ke soko inkanek oasriksrik inmasrlon ima in grape luo, ac oasr pot fulat siska lac lac.
25And the ass saw the angel of the LORD, and she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall; and he smote her again.
25Ke donkey soko uh liyauk lipufan sac, el kalukyang nu ke sisken soko pot uh ac itungya nial Balaam nu kac. Balaam el sifilpa sringil donkey natul uh.
26And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
26Na lipufan sac sifilpa kilukyak nu meet, tui ke sie acn iktok ma wangin na pwaye acn mwet ku in aikil we.
27And the ass saw the angel of the LORD, and she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staff.
27Na ke donkey soko ah liye lipufan sac, el ona infohk ah. Balaam el foloyak ac sifilpa srunglul ke sak soko sel.
28And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam: 'What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?'
28Na LEUM GOD El sang ku nu sin donkey ah in sramsram, na el fahk nu sel Balaam, “Mea nga oru koluk nu sum? Efu ku kom uniyu pacl tolu lac?”
29And Balaam said unto the ass: 'Because thou hast mocked me; I would there were a sword in my hand, for now I had killed thee.'
29Balaam el topuk, “Mweyen kom oru oana ngan arulana lalfon! Funu oasr cutlass sik, nga lukun unikomi na.”
30And the ass said unto Balaam: 'Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden all thy life long unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee?' And he said: 'Nay.'
30Donkey el sifilpa fahk, “Ya tia nga na pa donkey soko ma kom nuna kasrusr fac in moul lom nufon? Mea, oasr pacl nga oru ouinge nu sum meet?” El topuk, “Wangin.”
31Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.
31Na LEUM GOD El oru tuh Balaam elan ku in liyauk lipufan sac ke el tu sruok cutlass natul; ac Balaam el faksufi nu infohk uh.
32And the angel of the LORD said unto him: 'Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I am come forth for an adversary, because thy way is contrary unto me;
32Lipufan sac siyuk sel, “Efu ku kom uni donkey nutum ouinge pacl tolu lac? Nga tuku in tuh kosrekomla, mweyen kom tia enenu in orala fahsr se lom inge.
33and the ass saw me, and turned aside before me these three times; unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I had even slain thee, and saved her alive.'
33A donkey nutum uh liyeyuyak ac kuhfla liki inkanek uh pacl tolu. El funu tia kuhfla, nga lukun unikomi ac molella.”
34And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD: 'I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me; now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back.'
34Balaam el topuk, “Nga orekma koluk. Nga tiana etu lah kom tu inkanek uh in kosreyula. Tusruktu inge kom fin nunku mu tia wo nga in som, na tari nga ac folokla nu yen sik.”
35And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam: 'Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak.' So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
35A lipufan sac fahk nu sel, “Wi na mwet inge som, tusruktu kom fah fahk na ma nga ac sap kom in fahk uh.” Ouinge Balaam el wi mwet uh som.
36And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto Ir-moab, which is on the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border.
36Ke Balak el lohngak lah Balaam el tuku, el som in osun nu sel in acn Ar, sie siti su oan sisken Infacl Arnon ke masrol lun Moab.
37And Balak said unto Balaam: 'Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?'
37Balak el fahk nu sel, “Efu kom tia tuku ke nga tuh suli kom meet ah? Ya kom nunku mu nga tia ku in moli wo nu sum?”
38And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Lo, I am come unto thee; have I now any power at all to speak any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.'
38Balaam el topuk, “Liye, nga pa inge. Tusruktu, ku fuka se luk an? Ma na God El sapkin uh pa nga ac fahk uh.”
39And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kiriath-huzoth.
39Ouinge Balaam el welul Balak som nu ke siti srisrik Huzoth,
40And Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
40yen Balak el kisakin cow ac sheep we, ac sang kutu ikwen ma inge nu sel Balaam ac mwet kol su welul.
41And it came to pass in the morning that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into Bamoth-baal, and he saw from thence the utmost part of the people.
41In lotu tok ah, Balak el usalak Balaam nu Bamoth Baal, sie acn su Balaam el ac ku in ngetla ac liye kutu sin mwet Israel ah we.
