1 M arkaasaa reer binu Israa'iil guureen, oo waxay degeen bannaanka Moo'aab oo Webi Urdun ka shisheeya oo Yerixoo ka soo hor jeeda.

And the sons of Israel journey and encamp in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, Jericho.

2 O o Baalaaq ina Sifoor wuxuu arkay kulli wixii ay reer binu Israa'iil ku sameeyeen reer Amor.

And Balak son of Zippor seeth all that Israel hath done to the Amorite,

3 O o reer Moo'aab dadka bay ka cabsadeen, maxaa yeelay, iyagu aad bay u badnaayeen, oo reer Moo'aab aad iyo aad bay u welweleen reer binu Israa'iil aawadood.

and Moab is exceedingly afraid of the presence of the people, for it numerous; and Moab is vexed by the presence of the sons of Israel,

4 M arkaasaa reer Moo'aab waxay ku yidhaahdeen odayaashii reer Midyaan, Sida dibi u dhammaysto cawska berrinka ayaa dadkan faraha badanu waxa hareerahayaga ku wareegsan oo dhan u dhammaysanayaan. Oo wakhtigaas waxaa reer Moo'aab boqor u ahaa Baalaaq ina Sifoor.

and Moab saith unto the elders of Midian, `Now doth the assembly lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the green thing of the field.' And Balak son of Zippor king of Moab at that time,

5 O o wargeeyayaal buu u diray Balcaam ina Becoor oo joogay Fetoor oo Webiga ku ag taal oo ah dalkii dadkiisa si ay ugu yeedhaan oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eeg, halkan waxaa jooga dad Masar ka yimid, oo dhulkii oo dhan way qarinayaan, oo waxay deggan yihiin hortayda.

and he sendeth messengers unto Balaam son of Beor, to Pethor, which by the River of the land of the sons of his people, to call for him, saying, `Lo, a people hath come out of Egypt; lo, it hath covered the eye of the land, and it is abiding over-against me;

6 H addaba waan ku baryayaaye kaalay oo dadkan ii habaar, waayo, way iga xoog badan yihiin, oo mindhaa waan ka adkaanayaa si aannu ugu layno, oo dalka uga erinno, waayo, waan ogahay in kii aad u ducaysaa wuu ducaysan yahay, kii aad habaartaana wuu habaaran yahay.

and now, come, I pray thee, curse for me this people, for it mightier than I; it may be I prevail -- we smite it -- and I cast it out from the land; for I have known -- that which thou blessest is blessed, and that which thou cursest is cursed.'

7 M arkaasaa odayaashii reer Moo'aab iyo odayaashii reer Midyaan waxay gacantooda ku qaadeen abaalgudkii habaaridda, oo waxay u tageen Balcaam, oo isagay kula hadleen erayadii Baalaaq.

And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian go, and divinations in their hand, and they come in unto Balaam, and speak unto him the words of Balak,

8 O o isna wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Caawa halkan ku barya oo anna war dambaan idiinka keenayaa wixii Rabbigu igula hadlo. Markaasay amiirradii reer Moo'aab la hoydeen Balcaam.

and he saith unto them, `Lodge here to-night, and I have brought you back word, as Jehovah speaketh unto me;' and the princes of Moab abide with Balaam.

9 M arkaasaa Ilaah Balcaam u yimid, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War nimanka kula joogaa yay yihiin?

And God cometh in unto Balaam, and saith, `Who these men with thee?'

10 M arkaasaa Balcaam wuxuu Ilaah ku yidhi, Baalaaq ina Sifoor oo ah boqorkii reer Moo'aab ayaa ii soo diray oo yidhi,

And Balaam saith unto God, `Balak, son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me:

11 B al eeg, dadka Masar ka yimid waxay qarinayaan dhulka oo dhan, haddaba kaalay oo ii habaar, oo mindhaa waan karayaa inaan iyaga la diriro oo aan eryado.

Lo, the people that is coming out from Egypt and covereth the eye of the land, -- now come, pierce it for me; it may be I am able to fight against it, and have cast it out;'

12 M arkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Balcaam ku yidhi, Waa inaanad iyaga raacin, oo waa inaanad dadka habaarin, waayo, iyagu waa barakaysan yihiin.

and God saith unto Balaam, `Thou dost not go with them; thou dost not curse the people; for it blessed.'

13 A roortii dambe ayaa Balcaam kacay, oo wuxuu amiirradii Baalaaq ku yidhi, Dalkiinnii taga, waayo, Rabbigu fasax buu ii diidaa inaan idin raaco.

And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saith unto the princes of Balak, `Go unto your land, for Jehovah is refusing to suffer me to go with you;'

14 M arkaasaa amiirradii reer Moo'aab kaceen, oo Baalaaq u tageen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Balcaam waa diiday inuu na soo raaco.

and the princes of Moab rise, and come in unto Balak, and say, `Balaam is refusing to come with us.'

15 O o Baalaaq haddana wuxuu diray amiirro kale oo kuwii hore ka sii badan oo ka sii derejo weyn.

And Balak addeth yet to send princes, more numerous and honoured than these,

16 O o iyana Balcaam bay u tageen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Baalaaq ina Sifoor wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Waan ku baryayaaye inaad ii timaado yaanay waxba kaa hor joogsan.

and they come in unto Balaam, and say to him, `Thus said Balak son of Zippor, Be not, I pray thee, withheld from coming unto me,

17 W axaan ku siinayaa derejo sharaf ah, oo wax alla wixii aad igu tidhaahdona waan samaynayaa. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye kaalay oo dadkan ii habaar.

for very greatly I honour thee, and all that thou sayest unto me I do; and come, I pray thee, pierce for me this people.'

18 M arkaasaa Balcaam jawaabay, oo wuxuu addoommadii Baalaaq ku yidhi, Haddii Baalaaq i siiyo gurigiisa oo lacag iyo dahab ka buuxo, anigu kama tallaabsan karo erayga Rabbiga Ilaahayga ah inaan sameeyo wax ka yar iyo wax ka badan toona.

And Balaam answereth and saith unto the servants of Balak, `If Balak doth give to me the fulness of his house of silver and gold, I am not able to pass over the command of Jehovah my God, to do a little or a great thing;

19 H addaba waan idin baryayaaye, Bal caawa halkan isaga hoyda, bal aan soo ogaado waxa kaloo Rabbigu igula hadlee.

and, now, abide, I pray you, in this, you also, to-night; and I know what Jehovah is adding to speak with me.'

20 O o habeennimadii ayaa Ilaah Balcaam u yimid, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddii nimanku u yimaadeen inay kuu yeedhaan, kac oo iyaga raac; laakiinse waxaad yeeshaa aan kugula hadlo oo keliya. Dameerkii Balcaam

And God cometh in unto Balaam, by night, and saith to him, `If to call for thee the men have come, rise, go with them, and only the thing which I speak unto thee -- it thou dost do.'

21 O o subaxdii dambe ayaa Balcaam kacay oo dameertiisii kooraystay, kolkaasuu raacay amiirradii reer Moo'aab.

And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saddleth his ass, and goeth with the princes of Moab,

22 O o Ilaah cadhadiisiina way kululaatay, maxaa yeelay, Balcaam baa tegey. Markaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu jidka istaagtay iyadoo cadow ku ah isaga. Haddaba isagu wuxuu iska fuushanaa dameertiisii, oo labadiisii addoonna way la socdeen.

and the anger of God burneth because he is going, and a messenger of Jehovah stationeth himself in the way for an adversary to him, and he is riding on his ass, and two of his servants with him,

23 M arkaasaa dameertii waxay aragtay malaa'igtii Rabbiga oo jidka taagan oo seefteedii oo galka ka baxsan gacanta ku haysata. Kolkaasay dameertii jidka ka leexatay oo berrinka gashay. Oo Balcaamna dameertii wax buu ku dhuftay si uu jidka ugu soo celiyo.

and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and the ass turneth aside out of the way, and goeth into a field, and Balaam smiteth the ass to turn it aside into the way.

24 M arkaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay istaagtay surun beercanabyada ku dhex yaal oo dhankan deyr ka yahay, dhanka kalena deyr ka yahay.

And the messenger of Jehovah standeth in a narrow path of the vineyards -- a wall on this and a wall on that --

25 O o haddana dameertii waxay aragtay malaa'igtii Rabbiga, markaasay derbiga isku jiidday, oo Balcaam cagtiisii ayay derbigii kula qabatay, oo isna haddana wax buu ku dhuftay.

and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah, and is pressed unto the wall, and presseth Balaam's foot unto the wall, and he addeth to smite her;

26 M arkaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu hore u sii socotay oo waxay istaagtay meel cidhiidhi ah oo aan meel looga leexdo lahayn midig iyo bidix toona.

and the messenger of Jehovah addeth to pass over, and standeth in a strait place where there is no way to turn aside -- right or left --

27 O o haddana dameertii waxay aragtay malaa'igtii Rabbiga, markaasay iska jiifsatay Balcaam hoostiisa, Balcaamna wuu cadhooday, oo dameertii usha ku dhuftay.

and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah, and croucheth under Balaam, and the anger of Balaam burneth, and he smiteth the ass with a staff.

28 M arkaasaa Rabbigu afka dameerta furay oo waxay Balcaam ku tidhi, War maxaan kugu sameeyey oo aad saddexdan jeer ii dishay?

And Jehovah openeth the mouth of the ass, and she saith to Balaam, `What have I done to thee that thou hast smitten me these three times?'

29 M arkaasaa Balcaam dameertii ku yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, adigu waad igu majaajilootay. Oo weliba waxaan jeclaan lahaa in seefu gacantayda ku jirto, waayo, waan ku dili lahaa hadda.

and Balaam saith to the ass, `Because thou hast rolled thyself against me; oh that there were a sword in my hand, for now I had slain thee;'

30 M arkaasaa dameertii Balcaam ku tidhi, War sow ma ahi dameertaadii aad cimrigaaga oo dhan fuuli jirtay ilaa maantadan? Oo miyaan hore sidan oo kale weligay kugu sameeyey? Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Maya.

and the ass saith unto Balaam, `Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden since thine unto this day? have I at all been accustomed to do to thee thus?' and he saith, `No.'

31 K olkaasaa Rabbigu Balcaam indhaha u furay oo wuxuu arkay malaa'igtii Rabbiga oo jidka dhex taagan oo seefteedii oo galka ka baxsan gacanta ku haysata. Markaasuu madaxa foororiyey oo sujuuday.

And Jehovah uncovereth the eyes of Balaam, and he seeeth the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and he boweth and doth obeisance, to his face;

32 K olkaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay isagii ku tidhi, War maxaad dameertaada u dishay saddexdan jeer? Bal eeg, anigu waxaan u soo baxay cadow ahaan, maxaa yeelay, jidkaagu hortayda waa ku qalloocan yahay.

and the messenger of Jehovah saith unto him, `Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? lo, I -- I have come out for an adversary, for way hath been perverse before me,

33 O o dameertuna anay i aragtay oo saddexdan jeerba hortayday ka leexatay. Oo haddaanay iga leexan, hubaal waan ku dili lahaa, iyadase waan badbaadin lahaa.

and the ass seeth me, and turneth aside at my presence these three times; unless she had turned aside from my presence, surely now also, thee I had slain, and her kept alive.'

34 O o Balcaam wuxuu malaa'igtii Rabbiga ku yidhi, Waan dembaabay, waayo, ma aan ogayn inaad jidka taagan tahay adigoo iga gees ah. Haddaba haddii sidaasu ku xumayso, dib baan u noqonayaa.

And Balaam saith unto the messenger of Jehovah, `I have sinned, for I did not know that thou standing to meet me in the way; and now, if evil in thine eyes -- I turn back by myself.'

35 M arkaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu Balcaam ku tidhi, Orod oo nimanka raac; laakiinse hadalkii aan kula hadlo oo keliya waa inaad ku hadashaa. Sidaas daraaddeed Balcaam wuxuu raacay amiirradii Baalaaq soo diray.

And the messenger of Jehovah saith unto Balaam, `Go with the men; and only the word which I speak unto thee -- it thou dost speak;' and Balaam goeth with the princes of Balak.

36 O o Baalaaq markuu maqlay in Balcaam yimid ayuu u baxay inuu isaga ku qaabbilo magaaladii Moo'aab oo ku taal soohdinta Arnoon oo ah soohdinta darafkeeda.

And Balak heareth that Balaam hath come, and goeth out to meet him, unto a city of Moab, which on the border of Arnon, which in the extremity of the border;

37 M arkaasaa Baalaaq wuxuu Balcaam ku yidhi, War sow degdeg dad kuuguma soo dirin inay kuu yeedhaan? Maxaad iigu iman weyday? Miyaanan awoodin inaan derejo weyn ku siiyo?

and Balak saith unto Balaam, `Did I not diligently sent unto thee to call for thee? why didst thou not come unto me? am I not truly able to honour thee?'

38 K olkaasaa Balcaam wuxuu Baalaaq ku yidhi, Haddaba waa i kan oo waan kuu imid. War anigu ma waxaan leeyahay awood aan wax kaga hadlo innaba ha ahaatee? Ereygii Ilaah afkayga geliyo ayaan ku hadli doonaa.

And Balaam saith unto Balak, `Lo, I have come unto thee; now -- am I at all able to speak anything? the word which God setteth in my mouth -- it I do speak.'

39 M arkaasaa Balcaam raacay Baalaaq, oo waxay yimaadeen Qiryad Xusood.

And Balaam goeth with Balak, and they come to Kirjath-Huzoth,

40 M arkaasaa Baalaaq allabari u bixiyey dibi iyo ido, oo wax buu u diray Balcaam iyo amiirradii isaga la joogay.

and Balak sacrificeth oxen and sheep, and sendeth to Balaam, and to the princes who with him;

41 O o subaxdii dambe ayaa Baalaaq kaxaystay Balcaam, oo wuxuu keenay meelihii sare oo Bacal, oo halkaas wuxuu ka arkay dadka darafkii ugu shisheeya.

and it cometh to pass in the morning, that Balak taketh Balaam, and causeth him to go up the high places of Baal, and he seeth from thence the extremity of the people.
