Numbers 22

Ary ny Zanak'Isiraely nifindra nitoby tao Arbota-moaba, tany an-dafin'i Jordana tandrifin'i Jeriko.

And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.

Ary Balaka, zanak'i Zipora, nahita izay rehetra efa nataon'ny Isiraely tamin'ny Amorita.

And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

Dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny Moabita noho ny hamaroan'ny olona; ary nangorohoro ny Moabita noho ny Zanak'Isiraely.

And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.

Dia hoy izy tamin'ny loholon'ny Midianita: Ankehitriny dia hiraoka izay rehetra manodidina antsika ireto vahoaka be ireto tahaka ny firaokan'ny omby ny zava-maitso any an-tsaha. Ary Balaka, zanak'i Zipora, no mpanjakan'i Moaba tamin'izany andro izany.

And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.

Dia naniraka olona izy ho any amin'i Balama, zanak'i Beora, any Petora, izay eo amoron'ny Ony, dia eo amin'ny tanin'ny fireneny, mba hampaka azy, ka nanao hoe: Indro, misy firenena nivoaka avy tany Egypta; ary indro, mandrakotra ny tany rehetra izy ka mitoby tandrifiko;

He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of 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:

koa ankehitriny mba mankanesa atỳ, ka ozòny ho ahy ity firenena ity, fa mahery noho izaho izy; angamba hahazo mamely azy isika, ka handroaka azy hiala amin'ny tany aho; satria fantatro fa izay tsofinao rano dia voatahy, ary izay ozoninao dia voaozona.

Come 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 wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.

Dia nandeha ny loholon'ny Moabita sy ny loholon'ny Midianita nitondra ny saran'ny fankatovana teny an-tànany; dia nankany amin'i Balama izy ka nilaza taminy izay tenin'i Balaka.

And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.

Ary hoy Balama taminy: Mandria atỳ anio alina, dia hamaly ny teninareo aho, araka izay holazain'i Jehovah amiko. Dia nitoetra tao amin'i Balama ireo andrian-dahin'i Moaba.

And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.

Ary Andriamanitra nankao amin'i Balama ka nanao hoe: Iza moa ireo lehilahy ato aminao ireo?

And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?

Dia hoy Balama tamin'Andriamanitra: Balaka, zanak'i Zipora, mpanjakan'i Moaba, no efa naniraka tamiko hoe:

And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,

Indro ny firenena izay nivoaka avy tany Egypta mandrakotra ny tany rehetra; koa mankanesa atỳ ankehitriny, ka ozòny ho ahy izy; angamba haharesy azy aho ka haharoaka azy.

Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.

Ary hoy Andriamanitra tamin'i Balama: Aza mandeha miaraka aminy, na manozona izany firenena izany, fa voatahy izy.

And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.

Dia nifoha maraina koa Balama, ka nanao tamin'ireo andriandahin'i Balaka hoe: Andeha mody any amin'ny taninareo; fa tsy avelan'i Jehovah handeha hiaraka aminareo aho.

And 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.

Ary niainga ireo andriandahin'i Moaba, dia tonga tany amin i Balaka ka nanao hoe: Tsy nety nandeha niaraka taminay Balama.

And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.

Ary Balaka naniraka andriandahy maro sady malaza noho ny teo indray.

And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.

Dia tonga tao amin'i Balama ireny ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Balaka, zanak'i Zipora: Aoka mba tsy ho azon-tsampona ny hankanesanao atỳ amiko;

And 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:

fa hanome anao voninahitra lehibe indrindra aho, ary izay rehetra holazainao amiko dia hataoko avokoa; koa masìna ianao, mankanesa atỳ, ozòny ho ahy ity firenena ity.

For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.

Fa namaly Balama ka nanao tamin'ny mpanompon'i Balaka hoe: Na dia homen'i Balaka volafotsy sy volemana eran'ny tranony aza aho, dia tsy mahazo manoatra ny tenin'i Jehovah Andriamanitro aho, na handatsaka, na hampihoatra.

And 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 less or more.

Nefa, na dia izany aza, mitoera atỳ ihany koa ianareo anio alina, mba ho fantatro izay mbola holazain'i Jehovah amiko koa.

Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.

Ary nony alina dia nankao amin'i Balama Andriamanitra ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha haka anao no nahatongavan'ireo olona ireo, dia miaingà ka mandehana ihany miaraka aminy; kanefa ny teny izay holazaiko aminao ihany no hataonao.

And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.

Dia nifoha maraina koa Balama ka nanisy lasely ny borikiny, dia nandeha niaraka tamin'ireo andriandahin'i Moaba.

And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

Ary nirehitra taminy ny fahatezeran'Andriamanitra, satria nandeha izy; ka dia nijanona teo an-dalana Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah ho mpisakana azy. Ary Balama nitaingina ny borikiny, ary ny zatovony roa lahy nanaraka azy.

And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.

Dia hitan'ny boriky nijanona teo an-dalana Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah sady nitana ny sabany voatsoaka teny an-tànany; dia nivily lalana ny boriky ka nankany amin'ny saha; dia nikapoka ny boriky Balama mba hampiverina azy ho amin'ny lalana.

And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and 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.

Ary Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah nijanona teo an-kandemponana tanelanelan'ny tanim-boaloboka, izay nisy fefy teo an-daniny roa.

But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.

Ary ny boriky nahita Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah, dia niampify teo amin'ny fefy ka nanery ny tongotr'i Balama tamin'ny fefy; dia nikapoka azy indray izy.

And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.

Ary mbola nandroso Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah ka nijanona teo amin'ny fitoerana èty, izay tsy nisy lalana hiviliana, na ho amin'ny ankavanana, na ho amin'ny ankavia.

And 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.

Ary ny boriky nahita ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah, dia nandry teo ambanin'i Balama; ary nirehitra ny fahatezeran'i Balama ka nikapoka ny boriky tamin'ny tehina izy.

And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.

Dia nosokafan'i Jehovah ny vavan'ny boriky, ka hoy ny boriky tamin'i Balama: Inona no nataoko taminao no dia nokapohinao intelo aho izao?

And 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?

Dia hoy Balama tamin'ny boriky: Satria namazivazy ahy ianao; enga anie ka misy sabatra etỳ an-tanako, dia matiko mihitsy ianao ankehitriny.

And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.

Ary hoy ny boriky tamin'i Balama: Tsy borikinao va aho, izay nitaingenanao hatrizay nanananao ahy ka mandraka androany? Moa efa fanaoko va ny manao toy izao aminao? Dia hoy izy: Tsia.

And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.

Dia nampahiratin'i Jehovah ny mason'i Balama hahita Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah mijanona eo an-dalana sady mitana ny sabany voatsoaka eny an-tànany; dia niondrika izy ka niankohoka.

Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah taminy: Nahoana no nikapoka ny borikinao intelo ianao izao? indro, Izaho no nivoaka ho mpisakana anao, satria mivarina amin-doza eto anatrehako ny lalanao.

And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:

Koa nahita Ahy ny boriky ka nivily Ahy intelo izao; raha tsy nivily Ahy izy, dia ianao no nataoko maty mihitsy toy izay, fa izy kosa no novelomiko.

And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.

Dia hoy Balama tamin'Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah: Efa nanota aho; fa tsy fantatro fa Hianao no nijanona nisakana ahy teo an-dalana; koa ankehitriny, raha tsy sitrakao izany, dia hiverina aho.

And 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 again.

Fa hoy Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah tamin'i Balama: Mandehana ihany miaraka amin'ireo lehilahy ireo, kanefa ny teny izay holazaiko aminao ihany no holazainao. Dia nandeha Balama niaraka tamin'ireo andriandahin'i Balaka.

And 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.

Ary nony ren'i Balaka fa tonga Balama, dia nivoaka izy mba hitsena azy teo amin'ny Tanànan'i Moaba, teo amin'ny fari-tanin'i Arnona, izay eo amin'ny sisin'ny fari-tany.

And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.

Ary hoy Balaka tamin'i Balama: Tsy naniraka dia naniraka tany aminao va aho nampaka anao;? Ka nahoana no tsy nankaty amiko ianao? tsy haiko tokoa va ny hanome voninahitra anao?

And 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?

Dia hoy Balama tamin'i Balaka: Inty aho tonga eto aminao ankehitriny; kanefa mahazo milaza teny akory va aho? ny teny izay hataon'Andriamanitra ao am-bavako, dia izany no holazaiko.

And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.

Dia nandeha Balama niaraka tamin'i Balaka, ka nankany Kinata-hozota izy roa lahy.

And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjath–huzoth.

Ary Balaka namono omby sy ondry aman'osy hatao fanatitra ka nampanatitra ho an'i Balama sy ny andriandahy izay teo aminy.

And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.

Ary nony maraina Balama dia nalain'i Balaka ka nentiny niakatra ho ao Bamota-bala, ka dia tazany tao ny olona hatramin'ny sisin'ny tobiny.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.
