民數記

第22章

1 以色列人起行，在摩押平原、約旦河這邊［this side］，對著耶利哥安營。

2 以色列［Israel］向亞摩利人所行的一切事，西撥的兒子巴勒都看見了。

3 摩押人因以色列民甚多，就大大懼怕，心內憂急，

4 對米甸的長老說：「現在這眾人要把我們四圍所有的一概舔吃［lick up］，就如牛舔吃［licketh up］田間的草一般。」那時西撥的兒子巴勒作摩押王。

5 他差遣使者往大河邊的毗奪去，到比珥的兒子巴蘭本鄉那裏，召巴蘭來，說：「你看［behold］，有一宗民從埃及出來，遮滿地面，與我對居。

6 這民比我強盛，現在求你來為我咒詛他們，或者我能得勝，攻打他們，趕出此地。因為我知道，你為誰祝福，誰就得福；你咒詛誰，誰就受咒詛。」

7 摩押的長老和米甸的長老手裏拿著卦金，到了巴蘭那裏，將巴勒的話都告訴了他。

8 巴蘭說：「你們今夜在這裏住宿，我必照耶和華所曉諭我的回報你們。」摩押的使臣就在巴蘭那裏住下了。

9 神臨到巴蘭那裏，說：「在你這裏的人都是誰？」

10 巴蘭回答神［God］說：「是摩押王西撥的兒子巴勒打發人到我這裏來，說：

11 『你看［Behold］，從埃及出來的民遮滿地面，你來為我咒詛他們，或者我能戰勝［overcome］他們，把他們趕出去。』」

12 神對巴蘭說：「你不可同他們去；你［thou］也不可咒詛那民。因為那民是蒙福的。」

13 巴蘭早晨起來，對巴勒的使臣說：「你們回本地去吧，因為耶和華不容我和你們同去。」

14 摩押的使臣就起來，回巴勒那裏去，說：「巴蘭不肯和我們同來。」

15 巴勒又差遣使臣，比先前的又多又尊貴。

16 他們到了巴蘭那裏，對他說：「西撥的兒子巴勒這樣說：求你不容甚麼事攔阻你不到我這裏來，

17 因為我必使你得極大的尊榮。你向我要甚麼，我就給你甚麼；只求你來為我咒詛這民。』」

18 巴蘭回答巴勒的臣僕說：「巴勒就是將他滿屋的金銀給我，我行大事小事也不得越過耶和華─我神的命。

19 現在我請你們今夜在這裏住宿，等我得知耶和華還要對我說甚麼。」

20 當夜，神臨到巴蘭那裏，說：「這些人若來召你，你就起來同他們去，你只要遵行我對你所說的話。」

21 巴蘭早晨起來，備上驢，和摩押的使臣一同去了。

22 神因他去就發了怒；耶和華的天使［angel］站在路上敵擋他。他騎著驢，有兩個僕人跟隨他。

23 驢看見耶和華的天使［angel］站在路上，手裏有拔出來的刀，就從路上跨進田間，巴蘭便打驢，要叫牠回轉上路。

24 耶和華的天使［angel］就站在葡萄園的窄路上；這邊有牆，那邊也有牆。

25 驢看見耶和華的天使［angel］，就貼靠牆，將巴蘭的腳擠傷了；巴蘭又打驢。

26 耶和華的天使［angel］又往前去，站在狹窄之處，左右都沒有轉折的地方。

27 驢看見耶和華的天使［angel］，就臥在巴蘭底下，巴蘭發怒，用杖打驢。

28 耶和華叫驢開口，對巴蘭說：「我向你行了甚麼，你竟打我這三次呢？」

29 巴蘭對驢說：「因為你戲弄我，我恨不能手中有刀，把你殺了。」

30 驢對巴蘭說：「我不是你從小時直到今日所騎的驢嗎？我素常向你這樣行過嗎？」巴蘭說：「沒有。」

31 當時，耶和華開了巴蘭的眼睛［opened the eyes of Balaam］使巴蘭的眼目明亮，他就看見耶和華的天使［angel］站在路上，手裏有拔出來的刀，巴蘭便低下［down］頭，伏倒［fell flat］在地。

32 耶和華的天使［angel］對他說：「你為何這三次打你的驢呢？看哪［behold］。我出來敵擋你，因你所行的，在我面前偏僻。

33 驢看見我就三次轉離我［turned from me］；驢若沒有轉離我［turned］，我早把你殺了，留牠存活。」

34 巴蘭對耶和華的天使［angel］說：「我有罪了。我不知道你站在路上阻擋我；你若不喜歡我去，我就轉回。」

35 耶和華的天使［angel］對巴蘭說：「你同這些人去吧。你只要說我對你說的話。」於是巴蘭同著巴勒的使臣去了。

36 巴勒聽見巴蘭來了，就往摩押京城去迎接他；這城是在邊界上，在亞嫩河旁。

37 巴勒對巴蘭說：「我不是急急的打發人到你那裏去召你嗎？你為何不到我這裏來呢？我豈不能使你得尊榮嗎？」

38 巴蘭說：「看哪［lo］，我已經到你這裏來了。現在我豈能擅自說甚麼呢？神將甚麼話傳給我，我就說甚麼。」

39 巴蘭和巴勒同行，來到基列．胡瑣。

40 巴勒獻了［offered］牛羊，送給巴蘭和陪伴的使臣。

41 到了次日［morrow］，巴勒領巴蘭到巴力的眾高處［high places］，巴蘭從那裏觀看以色列營的邊界。

Numbers

Chapter 22

1 AND the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in the plains of Moab on this side of Jordan by Jericho.

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

3 And the Moabites were in great fear of the people because they were many; and Moab was distressed at the presence of the children of Israel.

4 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now this multitude is licking up all that are around about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.

5 So he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, an interpreter of dreams, who dwelt by the river of the land of the children of Ammon, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt; they cover the face of the land, and they are settled over against me.

6 Come now therefore and curse this people for me, for they are too mighty for me; perhaps I shall be able to defeat some of them and destroy them out of the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed and he whom you curse is cursed.

7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with gifts for divination in their hands; and they came to Balaam and told him the words of Balak.

8 And he said to them, Lodge here this night and I will give you an answer as the LORD shall speak to me; and the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.

9 And God came to Balaam and said to him, Who are these men that are with you?

10 And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying,

11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt who cover the face of the earth; come now, and curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to fight against them and destroy them.

12 And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them; and you shall not curse the people; for they are blessed.

13 And Balaam 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.

14 So the princes of Moab rose up and went to Balak, and said to him, Balaam refused to come with us.

15 And again Balak sent messengers who were greater and more honorable than they.

16 And they carne to Balaam and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing hinder you from coming to me;

17 For I will surely honor you exceedingly, and I will do for you whatever you say to me; come therefore, curse this people for me.

18 And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not transgress against the word of the LORD my God, neither concerning a small matter nor concerning a great matter.

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

20 And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, If these men have come to call you, rise up and go with them; but only the word which I shall say to you, that shall you do.

21 So Balaam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass and went with the princes of Balak.

22 And God's anger was kindled against him because he went; and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now as he was riding on his she-ass, and his two servants with him,

23 The she-ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn and held in his hand; and the she-ass turned aside out of the way and went into the field; and Balaam struck the she-ass to turn her into the way.

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

25 And when the she-ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself against the wall and pressed Balaam's foot against the wall; and he struck her again.

26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn either to the right or to the left.

27 And when the she-ass saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the she-ass with a staff.

28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the she-ass and she said to Balaam, What have I done to you that you have struck me these three times?

29 And Balaam said to the she-ass, Because you have mocked me; I would there were a sword in my hands, for now would I kill you.

30 And the she-ass said to Balaam, Am I not your she-ass upon which you have ridden from your youth even to this day? Have I ever behaved in this manner toward you? And he said to her, No.

31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way with his sword drawn and held in his hand; and he bowed down his head and worshipped on his face.

32 And the angel of the LORD said to him, Why have you struck your she-ass these three times? Behold, I went out to be an adversary against you, because you have directed your course contrary to me;

33 And the she-ass saw me and turned aside from me these three times; and if she had not turned aside from me, surely now I would have slain you, and saved her alive.

34 And Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I did not know that thou didst stand in the way against me; now therefore, if my mission is evil in thy eyes, I will turn back again.

35 And the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, Go with the men; but only the command that I shall speak to you, that shall you do. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

36 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him in a town of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon at the uttermost end of the border.

37 And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send messengers to you to call you? Why did you not come to me? Perhaps you were saying that I am not able to honor you?

38 And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I have come to you; have I now any power at all to say anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.

39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Koriath-Hizroth.

40 And Balak slaughtered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam and to the princes who were with him.

41 And in the morning Balak took Balaam and brought him to a high place of Baal, and from there he saw the uttermost part of the people of Israel.
