1And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
1 Israyla izey dira ka koy zumbu Mowab batamey ra Urdun* se ya-haray, kaŋ ga guna Yeriko.
2And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
2 Kala Zippor izo Balak di hay kulu kaŋ Israyla te Amorancey se.
3And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
3 Mowab mo humburu borey din gumo, i baayaŋo sabbay se. Humburkumay bambata na Mowab di Israyla izey sabbay se.
4And 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.
4 Woodin se no Mowab salaŋ Midiyan arkusey se ka ne: «Sohõ, jama wo ga hay kulu kaŋ go iri windanta ŋwa, danga mate kaŋ cine yeeji ga subu ŋwa saajo ra.» Alwaato din, Zippor ize Balak no ga ti Mowabancey se bonkooni.
5He 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:
5 Kal a na diyayaŋ donton Balaam, Beyor izo do. A go Petor, nga hayyaŋ laabo ra ga goro, isa beero jarga. A na Balaam ce ka ne a se: «Guna, kunda fo neeya kaŋ gana ka fun Misira, i go ga laabo kulu daabu. I go, i zumbu ay jarga.
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 wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
6 Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma kaa sohõ ka kunda din laali ay se, zama i bisa ay gaabi. Hambara yaadin gaa ay ga du k'i kar ka te i boŋ zaama, ay m'i gaaray ka kaa laabo ra. Zama ay bay kaŋ boro kaŋ ni ga albarkandi, bora din ga goro albarkante. Boro kaŋ ni ga laali mo ga ciya laalante.»
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 spake unto him the words of Balak.
7 Woodin boŋ no Mowab arkusey da Midiyan arkusey dira, i gonda gunayaŋ alhakkuyaŋ ngey kambey ra. I kaa Balaam do, ka Balak sanney salaŋ a se.
8And 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.
8 A ne i se: «Wa zumbu ne cino wo. Ay mo ga tu araŋ se da haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ga ci ay se.» Mowab koyey binde zumbu Balaam gaa.
9And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
9 Kala Irikoy kaa Balaam do k'a hã ka ne: «May yaŋ no borey wo kaŋ go ni do?»
10And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
10 Balaam tu ka ne Irikoy se: «Mowab bonkoono Balak Zippor izo no ka donton ay gaa ka ne:
11Behold, 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.
11 ‹Guna kunda fo neeya kaŋ fun Misira. I na laabo kulu daabu. Ma kaa sohõ k'i laali ay se. Hambara nd'ay n'i wongu, ay ga du k'i gaaray.› »
12And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
12 Amma Irikoy ne Balaam se: «Ma si koy i banda. Ni ma si kunda din laali mo, zama albarkante yaŋ no.»
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.
13 Susuba ra Balaam tu Balak koyey se ka ne: «Wa ye araŋ laabo ra, zama Rabbi mana yadda ay ma koy araŋ banda.»
14And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
14 Kala Mowab koyey tun ka ye Balak do ka ne: «Balaam wangu ka kaa iri banda.»
15And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.
15 Kala Balak ye ka koyyaŋ donton, kaŋ baa da sintinay waney, kaŋ yaŋ gonda beeray mo ka bis'ey.
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:
16 I kaa Balaam do mo, ka ne a se: «Mate kaŋ Zippor izo Balak ci neeya: ‹Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma si naŋ hay kulu ma ni ganji ay do kaayaŋ.
17For I will promote thee unto very great honor, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
17 Zama sikka si ay ga ni beerandi gumo. Hay kulu kaŋ ni ga ci ay se mo ay g'a te. Ni ya ma kaa day, ka kunda wo laali ay se!› »
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 less or more.
18 Amma Balaam tu ka ne Balak tamey se: «Baa Balak ga nga fuwo toonandi nda wura da nzarfu k'ay no, ay si hin ka Rabbi ay Irikoyo me sanney daaru, ya zabu wala ya tonton i gaa.
19Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
19 Amma araŋ ma kani ne cin woone mo koyne hal ay ma bay haŋ kaŋ no Rabbi ga ci ay se.»
20And 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.
20 Kala Irikoy kaa Balaam do cino ra ka ne a se: «Da borey kaa ka ni ce, kulu ni ma koy i banda. Amma haŋ kaŋ ay ga ci ni se hinne day no ni ga te.»
21And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
21 Balaam mo tun susuba ka kaari-ka daŋ nga farka nyaŋo gaa, ka koy Mowab koyey banda.
22And 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.
22 Amma Irikoy futu gumo a koyyaŋo sabbay se. Rabbi malayka mo kay a se fonda bindo ra ka te a se kosaray. Balaam go nga farka boŋ ga goro, a bannya hinka goono g'a dum.
23And 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.
23 Kala sahãadin, farka di Rabbi malayka kaŋ go fonda ra ga kay, da takuba foobante nga kambe ra. Farka binde kamba ka fonda taŋ ka koy faro ra. Kala Balaam na farka kar k'a ye fonda ra.
24But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
24 Hino Rabbi malayka kay fonda bindi ra reyzin kaley game ra, cinari yaŋ go kambu hinka kulu gaa.
25And 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.
25 Kaŋ farka di Rabbi malayka, a lamba cinari fa gaa ka Balaam ce fa kankam cinaro gaa. Nga mo ye ka farka kar.
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.
26 Rabbi malayka koy jina koyne, ka kay nangu fo kaŋ fonda ga kankam, kaŋ i si hin ka kamba, hala kambe ŋwaari haray wala kamba wow haray.
27And 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.
27 Kaŋ farka di Rabbi malayka, kulu a gurfa Balaam cire. Kala Balaam bina tun. A na farka kar da nga goobo.
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?
28 Waato din gaa no Rabbi na farka meyo fiti, hal a salaŋ Balaam se ka ne: «Ifo n'ay te ni se, kaŋ ni g'ay kar hala sorro hinza wo?»
29And 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.
29 Kala Balaam tu farka se ka ne: «Zama ni n'ay hahaara no. Da day takuba go ay kambe ra, doŋ ay ga ni wi no sohõ.»
30And 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.
30 Amma farka tu Balaam se ka ne: «Manti ay ya ni farka no, kaŋ boŋ ni ga kaaru waati kulu hala ka kaa hunkuna? Ay doona ka yaawo cine te ni se no, wala?» Balaam tu ka ne: «Abada!»
31Then 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.
31 Waato din gaa no Rabbi na Balaam moy fiti hal a di Rabbi malayka kaŋ goono ga kay fonda ra, a takuba mo go kamba ra ga gaay. Balaam mo na nga boŋ sumbal ka gande biri.
32And 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:
32 Rabbi malayka ne a se: «Ifo se no ni na ni farka kar sorro hinza din kulu? Ma haggoy fa! Ay kaa ka ni kosaray no, zama halaciyaŋ fondo no ni goono ga gana ay jine.
33And 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.
33 Ni farka mo di ay ka kamba ay se hala sorro hinza. D'a mana kamba ay se mo no, doŋ daahir ay ga ni wi ka nga din naŋ da fundi.»
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 again.
34 Kala Balaam ne Rabbi malayka se: «Ay na zunubi te, zama ay mana bay hala ni go fonda ra ga kay ay jine. Baa sohõ mo, d'a mana kaan ni se, ay ga ye ay ce banda.»
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.
35 Rabbi malayka tu ka ne Balaam se: «Ma koy borey banda. Amma sanno kaŋ ay ga ci ni se, nga hinne no ni ga salaŋ.» Balaam binde na Balak koyey gana ka koy.
36And 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.
36 Waato kaŋ Balak maa kaŋ Balaam go kaa, kal a fatta ka koy k'a kubay Mowab kwaara fo haray. Kwaara din go Arnon gooro jarga; laabo din hirro me no.
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 honor?
37 Balak mo salaŋ Balaam se ka ne: «Manti ay donton ka ni ŋwaaray ni ma kaa? Ifo se no ni mana kaa ay do za sintina gaa? Ay sinda hina ka beeray tonton ni se no?»
38And 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.
38 Balaam tu Balak se ka ne: «Guna, sohõ ay kaa ni do. Amma ay gonda dabari no, wala, kaŋ ga hay fo ci baa kayna? Sanno kaŋ Irikoy ga daŋ ay meyo ra, nga no ay mo ga salaŋ.»
39And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
39 Balaam na Balak dum kal i koy to Ciriyat-Huzot kwaara.
40And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
40 Noodin no Balak na yeejiyaŋ da feejiyaŋ salle sargay, ka ham samba i ra a ma koy Balaam do, nga nda koyey kaŋ yaŋ go a banda.
41And 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.
41 A ciya mo, susuba ra, kala Balak konda Balaam, i ma ziji Baal* tondey do. Za noodin no i di Israyla jama me-a-me.
