1Καὶ ἀπάραντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ παρενέβαλον ἐπὶ δυσμῶν Μωαβ παρὰ τὸν Ιορδάνην κατὰ Ιεριχω. And the children of Israel departed, and encamped on the west of Moab by Jordan toward Jericho.Balaam. Nu.22.1-40Then the people of Israel set out, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.וַיִּסְעוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּחֲנוּ בְּעַרְבֹות מֹואָב מֵעֵבֶר לְיַרְדֵּן יְרֵחֹו׃ ס 1
2Καὶ ἰδὼν Βαλακ υἱὸς Σεπφωρ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν Ισραηλ τῷ Αμορραίῳ, And when Balac son of Sepphor saw all that Israel did to the Amorite, And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.וַיַּרְא בָּלָק בֶּן־צִפֹּור אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה יִשְׂרָאֵל לָאֱמֹרִי׃ 2
3καὶ ἐφοβήθη Μωαβ τὸν λαὸν σφόδρα, ὅτι πολλοὶ ἦσαν, καὶ προσώχθισεν Μωαβ ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ισραηλ. then Moab feared the people exceedingly because they were many; and Moab was grieved before the face of the children of Israel. And Moab was in great dread of the people, because they were many; Moab was overcome with fear of the people of Israel.וַיָּגָר מֹואָב מִפְּנֵי הָעָם מְאֹד כִּי רַב־הוּא וַיָּקָץ מֹואָב מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ 3
4καὶ εἶπεν Μωαβ τῇ γερουσίᾳ Μαδιαμ Νῦν ἐκλείξει ἡ συναγωγὴ αὕτη πάντας τοὺς κύκλῳ ἡμῶν, ὡς ἐκλείξαι ὁ μόσχος τὰ χλωρὰ ἐκ τοῦ πεδίου. καὶ Βαλακ υἱὸς Σεπφωρ βασιλεὺς Μωαβ ἦν κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν ἐκεῖνον. And Moab said to the elders of Madiam, Now shall this assembly lick up all that are round about us, as a calf would lick up the green [herbs] of the field:-- and Balac son of Sepphor was king of Moab at that time. And Moab said to the elders of Mid'ian, "This horde will now lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field." So Balak the son of Zippor, who was king of Moab at that time,וַיֹּאמֶר מֹואָב אֶל־זִקְנֵי מִדְיָן עַתָּה יְלַחֲכוּ הַקָּהָל אֶת־כָּל־סְבִיבֹתֵינוּ כִּלְחֹךְ הַשֹּׁור אֵת יֶרֶק הַשָּׂדֶה וּבָלָק בֶּן־צִפֹּור מֶלֶךְ לְמֹואָב בָּעֵת הַהִוא׃ 4
5καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρέσβεις πρὸς Βαλααμ υἱὸν Βεωρ Φαθουρα, ὅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ γῆς υἱῶν λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καλέσαι αὐτὸν λέγων Ἰδοὺ λαὸς ἐξελήλυθεν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἰδοὺ κατεκάλυψεν τὴν ὄψιν τῆς γῆς καὶ οὗτος ἐγκάθηται ἐχόμενός μου· And he sent ambassadors to Balaam the son of Beor, to Phathura, which is on a river of the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people is come out of Egypt, and behold it has covered the face of the earth, and it has encamped close to me. sent messengers to Balaam the son of Be'or at Pethor, which is near the River, in the land of Amaw to call him, saying, "Behold, a people has come out of Egypt; they cover the face of the earth, and they are dwelling opposite me.וַיִּשְׁלַח מַלְאָכִים אֶל־בִּלְעָם בֶּן־בְּעֹור פְּתֹורָה אֲשֶׁר עַל־הַנָּהָר אֶרֶץ בְּנֵי־עַמֹּו לִקְרֹא־לֹו לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה עַם יָצָא מִמִּצְרַיִם הִנֵּה כִסָּה אֶת־עֵין הָאָרֶץ וְהוּא יֹשֵׁב מִמֻּלִי׃ 5
6καὶ νῦν δεῦρο ἄρασαί μοι τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον, ὅτι ἰσχύει οὗτος ἢ ἡμεῖς· ἐὰν δυνώμεθα πατάξαι ἐξ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκβαλῶ αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς γῆς· ὅτι οἶδα οὓς ἐὰν εὐλογήσῃς σύ, εὐλόγηνται, καὶ οὓς ἐὰν καταράσῃ σύ, κεκατήρανται. And now come, curse me this people, for it is stronger than we; if we may be able to smite some of them, and I will cast them out of the land: for I know that whomsoever you do bless, they are blessed, and whomsoever you do curse, they are cursed. Come now, curse this people for me, since they are too mighty for me; perhaps I shall be able to defeat them and drive them from the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed."וְעַתָּה לְכָה־נָּא אָרָה־לִּי אֶת־הָעָם הַזֶּה כִּי־עָצוּם הוּא מִמֶּנִּי אוּלַי אוּכַל נַכֶּה־בֹּו וַאֲגָרְשֶׁנּוּ מִן־הָאָרֶץ כִּי יָדַעְתִּי אֵת אֲשֶׁר־תְּבָרֵךְ מְבֹרָךְ וַאֲשֶׁר תָּאֹר יוּאָר׃ 6
7καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἡ γερουσία Μωαβ καὶ ἡ γερουσία Μαδιαμ, καὶ τὰ μαντεῖα ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς Βαλααμ καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ τὰ ῥήματα Βαλακ. And the elders of Moab went, and the elders of Madiam, and their divining [instruments were] in their hands; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balac. So the elders of Moab and the elders of Mid'ian departed with the fees for divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and gave him Balak's message.וַיֵּלְכוּ זִקְנֵי מֹואָב וְזִקְנֵי מִדְיָן וּקְסָמִים בְּיָדָם וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־בִּלְעָם וַיְדַבְּרוּ אֵלָיו דִּבְרֵי בָלָק׃ 7
8καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς Καταλύσατε αὐτοῦ τὴν νύκτα, καὶ ἀποκριθήσομαι ὑμῖν πράγματα, ἃ ἐὰν λαλήσῃ κύριος πρός με· καὶ κατέμειναν οἱ ἄρχοντες Μωαβ παρὰ Βαλααμ. And he said to them, Tarry here the night, and I will answer you the things which the Lord shall say to me; and the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam. And he said to them, "Lodge here this night, and I will bring back word to you, as the LORD speaks to me"; so the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לִינוּ פֹה הַלַּיְלָה וַהֲשִׁבֹתִי אֶתְכֶם דָּבָר כַּאֲשֶׁר יְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֵלָי וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָׂרֵי־מֹואָב עִם־בִּלְעָם׃ 8
9καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Βαλααμ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Τί οἱ ἄνθρωποι οὗτοι παρὰ σοί; And God came to Balaam, and said to him, Who are these men with you? And God came to Balaam and said, "Who are these men with you?"וַיָּבֹא אֱלֹהִים אֶל־בִּלְעָם וַיֹּאמֶר מִי הָאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה עִמָּךְ׃ 9
10καὶ εἶπεν Βαλααμ πρὸς τὸν θεόν Βαλακ υἱὸς Σεπφωρ βασιλεὺς Μωαβ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς πρός με λέγων And Balaam said to God, Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab, sent them to me, saying, And Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying,וַיֹּאמֶר בִּלְעָם אֶל־הָאֱלֹהִים בָּלָק בֶּן־צִפֹּר מֶלֶךְ מֹואָב שָׁלַח אֵלָי׃ 10
11Ἰδοὺ λαὸς ἐξελήλυθεν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἰδοὺ κεκάλυφεν τὴν ὄψιν τῆς γῆς καὶ οὗτος ἐγκάθηται ἐχόμενός μου· καὶ νῦν δεῦρο ἄρασαί μοι αὐτόν, εἰ ἄρα δυνήσομαι πατάξαι αὐτὸν καὶ ἐκβαλῶ αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς. Behold, a people has come forth out of Egypt, and has covered the face of the land, and it has encamped near to me; and now come, curse it for me, if indeed I shall be able to smite it, and cast it out of the land. 'Behold, a people has come out of Egypt, and it covers the face of the earth; now come, curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to fight against them and drive them out.'"הִנֵּה הָעָם הַיֹּצֵא מִמִּצְרַיִם וַיְכַס אֶת־עֵין הָאָרֶץ עַתָּה לְכָה קָבָה־לִּי אֹתֹו אוּלַי אוּכַל לְהִלָּחֶם בֹּו וְגֵרַשְׁתִּיו׃ 11
12καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Βαλααμ Οὐ πορεύσῃ μετ' αὐτῶν οὐδὲ καταράσῃ τὸν λαόν· ἔστιν γὰρ εὐλογημένος. And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them, neither shall you curse the people; for they are blessed. God said to Balaam, "You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed."וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־בִּלְעָם לֹא תֵלֵךְ עִמָּהֶם לֹא תָאֹר אֶת־הָעָם כִּי בָרוּךְ הוּא׃ 12
13καὶ ἀναστὰς Βαλααμ τὸ πρωῒ εἶπεν τοῖς ἄρχουσιν Βαλακ Ἀποτρέχετε πρὸς τὸν κύριον ὑμῶν· οὐκ ἀφίησίν με ὁ θεὸς πορεύεσθαι μεθ' ὑμῶν. And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balac, Depart quickly to your lord; God does not permit me to go with you. So Balaam rose in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, "Go to your own land; for the LORD has refused to let me go with you."וַיָּקָם בִּלְעָם בַּבֹּקֶר וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־שָׂרֵי בָלָק לְכוּ אֶל־אַרְצְכֶם כִּי מֵאֵן יְהוָה לְתִתִּי לַהֲלֹךְ עִםָּכֶם׃ 13
14καὶ ἀναστάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες Μωαβ ἦλθον πρὸς Βαλακ καὶ εἶπαν Οὐ θέλει Βαλααμ πορευθῆναι μεθ' ἡμῶν. And the princes of Moab rose, and came to Balac, and said, Balaam will not come with us. So the princes of Moab rose and went to Balak, and said, "Balaam refuses to come with us."וַיָּקוּמוּ שָׂרֵי מֹואָב וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־בָּלָק וַיֹּאמְרוּ מֵאֵן בִּלְעָם הֲלֹךְ עִמָּנוּ׃ 14
15Καὶ προσέθετο Βαλακ ἔτι ἀποστεῖλαι ἄρχοντας πλείους καὶ ἐντιμοτέρους τούτων. And Balac yet again sent more princes and more honourable than they. Once again Balak sent princes, more in number and more honorable than they.וַיֹּסֶף עֹוד בָּלָק שְׁלֹחַ שָׂרִים רַבִּים וְנִכְבָּדִים מֵאֵלֶּה׃ 15
16καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς Βαλααμ καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Τάδε λέγει Βαλακ ὁ τοῦ Σεπφωρ Ἀξιῶ σε, μὴ ὀκνήσῃς ἐλθεῖν πρός με· And they came to Balaam, and they say to him, Thus says Balac the son of Sepphor: I beseech you, delay not to come to me. And they came to Balaam and said to him, "Thus says Balak the son of Zippor: 'Let nothing hinder you from coming to me;וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־בִּלְעָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹו כֹּה אָמַר בָּלָק בֶּן־צִפֹּור אַל־נָא תִמָּנַע מֵהֲלֹךְ אֵלָי׃ 16
17ἐντίμως γὰρ τιμήσω σε, καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν εἴπῃς, ποιήσω σοι· καὶ δεῦρο ἐπικατάρασαί μοι τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον. For I will greatly honour you, and will do for you whatsoever you shall say; come then, curse me this people. for I will surely do you great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do; come, curse this people for me.'"כִּי־כַבֵּד אֲכַבֶּדְךָ מְאֹד וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־תֹּאמַר אֵלַי אֶעֱשֶׂה וּלְכָה־נָּא קָבָה־לִּי אֵת הָעָם הַזֶּה׃ 17
18καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Βαλααμ καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς ἄρχουσιν Βαλακ Ἑὰν δῷ μοι Βαλακ πλήρη τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ χρυσίου, οὐ δυνήσομαι παραβῆναι τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτὸ μικρὸν ἢ μέγα ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ μου· And Balaam answered and said to the princes of Balac, If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord God, to make it little or great in my mind. But Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, "Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the command of the LORD my God, to do less or more.וַיַּעַן בִּלְעָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־עַבְדֵי בָלָק אִם־יִתֶּן־לִי בָלָק מְלֹא בֵיתֹו כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב לֹא אוּכַל לַעֲבֹר אֶת־פִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי לַעֲשֹׂות קְטַנָּה אֹו גְדֹולָה׃ 18
19καὶ νῦν ὑπομείνατε αὐτοῦ καὶ ὑμεῖς τὴν νύκτα ταύτην, καὶ γνώσομαι, τί προσθήσει κύριος λαλῆσαι πρός με. And now do you also tarry here this night, and I shall know what the Lord will yet say to me. Pray, now, tarry here this night also, that I may know what more the LORD will say to me."וְעַתָּה שְׁבוּ נָא בָזֶה גַּם־אַתֶּם הַלָּיְלָה וְאֵדְעָה מַה־יֹּסֵף יְהוָה דַּבֵּר עִמִּי׃ 19
20καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Βαλααμ νυκτὸς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εἰ καλέσαι σε πάρεισιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι οὗτοι, ἀναστὰς ἀκολούθησον αὐτοῖς· ἀλλὰ τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ ἂν λαλήσω πρὸς σέ, τοῦτο ποιήσεις. And God came to Balaam by night, and said to him, If these men are come to call you, rise and follow them; nevertheless the word which I shall speak to you, it shall you do. And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, "If the men have come to call you, rise, go with them; but only what I bid you, that shall you do."וַיָּבֹא אֱלֹהִים אֶל־בִּלְעָם לַיְלָה וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו אִם־לִקְרֹא לְךָ בָּאוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים קוּם לֵךְ אִתָּם וְאַךְ אֶת־הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר־אֲדַבֵּר אֵלֶיךָ אֹתֹו תַעֲשֶׂה׃ 20
21καὶ ἀναστὰς Βαλααμ τὸ πρωῒ ἐπέσαξεν τὴν ὄνον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετὰ τῶν ἀρχόντων Μωαβ. - And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. So Balaam rose in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.וַיָּקָם בִּלְעָם בַּבֹּקֶר וַיַּחֲבֹשׁ אֶת־אֲתֹנֹו וַיֵּלֶךְ עִם־שָׂרֵי מֹואָב׃ 21
22καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ ὁ θεὸς ὅτι ἐπορεύθη αὐτός, καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐνδιαβάλλειν αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπιβεβήκει ἐπὶ τῆς ὄνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ δύο παῖδες αὐτοῦ μετ' αὐτοῦ. And God was very angry because he went; and the angel of the Lord rose up to withstand him. Now he had mounted his ass, and his two servants were with him. But God's anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of the LORD took his stand in the way as his adversary. Now he was riding on the ass, and his two servants were with him.וַיִּחַר־אַף אֱלֹהִים כִּי־הֹולֵךְ הוּא וַיִּתְיַצֵּב מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה בַּדֶּרֶךְ לְשָׂטָן לֹו וְהוּא רֹכֵב עַל־אֲתֹנֹו וּשְׁנֵי נְעָרָיו עִמֹּו׃ 22
23καὶ ἰδοῦσα ἡ ὄνος τὸν ἄγγελον τοῦ θεοῦ ἀνθεστηκότα ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ τὴν ῥομφαίαν ἐσπασμένην ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξέκλινεν ἡ ὄνος ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύετο εἰς τὸ πεδίον· καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὴν ὄνον τῇ ῥάβδῳ τοῦ εὐθῦναι αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ. And when the ass saw the angel of God standing opposite in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, then the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field; and [Balaam] smote the ass with his staff to direct her in the way. And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road, with a drawn sword in his hand; and the ass turned aside out of the road, and went into the field; and Balaam struck the ass, to turn her into the road.וַתֵּרֶא הָאָתֹון אֶת־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה נִצָּב בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְחַרְבֹּו שְׁלוּפָה בְּיָדֹו וַתֵּט הָאָתֹון מִן־הַדֶּרֶךְ וַתֵּלֶךְ בַּשָּׂדֶה וַיַּךְ בִּלְעָם אֶת־הָאָתֹון לְהַטֹּתָהּ הַדָּרֶךְ׃ 23
24καὶ ἔστη ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν ταῖς αὔλαξιν τῶν ἀμπέλων, φραγμὸς ἐντεῦθεν καὶ φραγμὸς ἐντεῦθεν· And the angel of the Lord stood in the avenues of the vines, a fence [being] on this side and a fence on that. Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, with a wall on either side.וַיַּעֲמֹד מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה בְּמִשְׁעֹול הַכְּרָמִים גָּדֵר מִזֶּה וְגָדֵר מִזֶּה׃ 24
25καὶ ἰδοῦσα ἡ ὄνος τὸν ἄγγελον τοῦ θεοῦ προσέθλιψεν ἑαυτὴν πρὸς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ ἀπέθλιψεν τὸν πόδα Βαλααμ· καὶ προσέθετο ἔτι μαστίξαι αὐτήν. And when the ass saw the angel of God, she thrust herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall, and he smote her again. And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she pushed against the wall, and pressed Balaam's foot against the wall; so he struck her again.וַתֵּרֶא הָאָתֹון אֶת־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה וַתִּלָּחֵץ אֶל־הַקִּיר וַתִּלְחַץ אֶת־רֶגֶל בִּלְעָם אֶל־הַקִּיר וַיֹּסֶף לְהַכֹּתָהּ׃ 25
26καὶ προσέθετο ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἀπελθὼν ὑπέστη ἐν τόπῳ στενῷ, εἰς ὃν οὐκ ἦν ἐκκλῖναι δεξιὰν οὐδὲ ἀριστεράν. And the angel of the Lord went farther, and came and stood in a narrow place where it was impossible to turn to the right or the left. Then the angel of the LORD went ahead, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right or to the left.וַיֹּוסֶף מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָה עֲבֹור וַיַּעֲמֹד בְּמָקֹום צָר אֲשֶׁר אֵין־דֶּרֶךְ לִנְטֹות יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאול׃ 26
27καὶ ἰδοῦσα ἡ ὄνος τὸν ἄγγελον τοῦ θεοῦ συνεκάθισεν ὑποκάτω Βαλααμ· καὶ ἐθυμώθη Βαλααμ καὶ ἔτυπτεν τὴν ὄνον τῇ ῥάβδῳ. And when the ass saw the angel of God, she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam was angry, and struck the ass with his staff. When the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he struck the ass with his staff.וַתֵּרֶא הָאָתֹון אֶת־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה וַתִּרְבַּץ תַּחַת בִּלְעָם וַיִּחַר־אַף בִּלְעָם וַיַּךְ אֶת־הָאָתֹון בַּמַּקֵּל׃ 27
28καὶ ἤνοιξεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ στόμα τῆς ὄνου, καὶ λέγει τῷ Βαλααμ Τί ἐποίησά σοι ὅτι πέπαικάς με τοῦτο τρίτον; And God opened the mouth of the ass, and she says to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have smitten me this third time? Then the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"וַיִּפְתַּח יְהוָה אֶת־פִּי הָאָתֹון וַתֹּאמֶר לְבִלְעָם מֶה־עָשִׂיתִי לְךָ כִּי הִכִּיתַנִי זֶה שָׁלֹשׁ רְגָלִים׃ 28
29καὶ εἶπεν Βαλααμ τῇ ὄνῳ Ὅτι ἐμπέπαιχάς μοι· καὶ εἰ εἶχον μάχαιραν ἐν τῇ χειρί μου, ἤδη ἂν ἐξεκέντησά σε. And Balaam said to the ass, Because you have mocked me; and if I [had] had a sword in my hand, I would now have killed you. And Balaam said to the ass, "Because you have made sport of me. I wish I had a sword in my hand, for then I would kill you."וַיֹּאמֶר בִּלְעָם לָאָתֹון כִּי הִתְעַלַּלְתְּ בִּי לוּ יֶשׁ־חֶרֶב בְּיָדִי כִּי עַתָּה הֲרַגְתִּיךְ׃ 29
30καὶ λέγει ἡ ὄνος τῷ Βαλααμ Οὐκ ἐγὼ ἡ ὄνος σου, ἐφ' ἧς ἐπέβαινες ἀπὸ νεότητός σου ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας; μὴ ὑπεροράσει ὑπεριδοῦσα ἐποίησά σοι οὕτως; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Οὐχί. And the ass says to Balaam, [Am] not I your ass on which you have ridden since your youth till this day? did I ever do thus to you, utterly disregarding [you]? and he said, No. And the ass said to Balaam, "Am I not your ass, upon which you have ridden all your life long to this day? Was I ever accustomed to do so to you?" And he said, "No."וַתֹּאמֶר הָאָתֹון אֶל־בִּלְעָם הֲלֹוא אָנֹכִי אֲתֹנְךָ אֲשֶׁר־רָכַבְתָּ עָלַי מֵעֹודְךָ עַד־הַיֹּום הַזֶּה הַהַסְכֵּן הִסְכַּנְתִּי לַעֲשֹׂות לְךָ כֹּה וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא׃ 30
31ἀπεκάλυψεν δὲ ὁ θεὸς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς Βαλααμ, καὶ ὁρᾷ τὸν ἄγγελον κυρίου ἀνθεστηκότα ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ τὴν μάχαιραν ἐσπασμένην ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ κύψας προσεκύνησεν τῷ προσώπῳ αὐτοῦ. And God opened the eyes of Balaam, and he sees the angel of the Lord withstanding [him] in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, and he stooped down and worshiped on his face. Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his drawn sword in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.וַיְגַל יְהוָה אֶת־עֵינֵי בִלְעָם וַיַּרְא אֶת־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה נִצָּב בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְחַרְבֹּו שְׁלֻפָה בְּיָדֹו וַיִּקֹּד וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ לְאַפָּיו׃ 31
32καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ Διὰ τί ἐπάταξας τὴν ὄνον σου τοῦτο τρίτον; καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξῆλθον εἰς διαβολήν σου, ὅτι οὐκ ἀστεία ἡ ὁδός σου ἐναντίον μου. And the angel of God said to him, Why have you smitten your ass this third time? and, behold, I came out to withstand you, for your way was not seemly before me; and when the ass saw me, she turned away from me this third time. And the angel of the LORD said to him, "Why have you struck your ass these three times? Behold, I have come forth to withstand you, because your way is perverse before me;וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה עַל־מָה הִכִּיתָ אֶת־אֲתֹנְךָ זֶה שָׁלֹושׁ רְגָלִים הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי יָצָאתִי לְשָׂטָן כִּי־יָרַט הַדֶּרֶךְ לְנֶגְדִּי׃ 32
33καὶ ἰδοῦσά με ἡ ὄνος ἐξέκλινεν ἀπ' ἐμοῦ τρίτον τοῦτο· καὶ εἰ μὴ ἐξέκλινεν, νῦν οὖν σὲ μὲν ἀπέκτεινα, ἐκείνην δὲ περιεποιησάμην. And if she had not turned out of the way, surely now, I should have slain you, and should have saved her alive. and the ass saw me, and turned aside before me these three times. If she had not turned aside from me, surely just now I would have slain you and let her live."וַתִּרְאַנִי הָאָתֹון וַתֵּט לְפָנַי זֶה שָׁלֹשׁ רְגָלִים אוּלַי נָטְתָה מִפָּנַי כִּי עַתָּה גַּם־אֹתְכָה הָרַגְתִּי וְאֹותָהּ הֶחֱיֵיתִי׃ 33
34καὶ εἶπεν Βαλααμ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ κυρίου Ἡμάρτηκα, οὐ γὰρ ἠπιστάμην ὅτι σύ μοι ἀνθέστηκας ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ εἰς συνάντησιν· καὶ νῦν εἰ μή σοι ἀρέσκει, ἀποστραφήσομαι. And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have sinned, for I did not know that you was standing opposite in the way to meet [me]; and now if it shall not be pleasing to you [for me to go on], I will return. Then Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned, for I did not know that thou didst stand in the road against me. Now therefore, if it is evil in thy sight, I will go back again."וַיֹּאמֶר בִּלְעָם אֶל־מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה חָטָאתִי כִּי לֹא יָדַעְתִּי כִּי אַתָּה נִצָּב לִקְרָאתִי בַּדָּרֶךְ וְעַתָּה אִם־רַע בְּעֵינֶיךָ אָשׁוּבָה לִּי׃ 34
35καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ πρὸς Βαλααμ Συμπορεύθητι μετὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων· πλὴν τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ ἐὰν εἴπω πρὸς σέ, τοῦτο φυλάξῃ λαλῆσαι. καὶ ἐπορεύθη Βαλααμ μετὰ τῶν ἀρχόντων Βαλακ. And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men: nevertheless the word which I shall speak to you, that you shall take heed to speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balac. And the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men; but only the word which I bid you, that shall you speak." So Balaam went on with the princes of Balak.וַיֹּאמֶר מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה אֶל־בִּלְעָם לֵךְ עִם־הָאֲנָשִׁים וְאֶפֶס אֶת־הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר־אֲדַבֵּר אֵלֶיךָ אֹתֹו תְדַבֵּר וַיֵּלֶךְ בִּלְעָם עִם־שָׂרֵי בָלָק׃ 35
36Καὶ ἀκούσας Βαλακ ὅτι ἥκει Βαλααμ, ἐξῆλθεν εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ εἰς πόλιν Μωαβ, ἥ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων Αρνων, ὅ ἐστιν ἐκ μέρους τῶν ὁρίων. And when Balac heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him, to a city of Moab, which is on the borders of Arnon, which is on the [extreme] part of the borders. When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, on the boundary formed by the Arnon, at the extremity of the boundary.וַיִּשְׁמַע בָּלָק כִּי בָא בִלְעָם וַיֵּצֵא לִקְרָאתֹו אֶל־עִיר מֹואָב אֲשֶׁר עַל־גְּבוּל אַרְןֹן אֲשֶׁר בִּקְצֵה הַגְּבוּל׃ 36
37καὶ εἶπεν Βαλακ πρὸς Βαλααμ Οὐχὶ ἀπέστειλα πρὸς σὲ καλέσαι σε; διὰ τί οὐκ ἤρχου πρός με; ὄντως οὐ δυνήσομαι τιμῆσαί σε; And Balac said to Balaam, Did I not send to you to call you? why have you not come to me? shall I not indeed be able to honour you? And Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not send to you to call you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?"וַיֹּאמֶר בָּלָק אֶל־בִּלְעָם הֲלֹא שָׁלֹחַ שָׁלַחְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ לִקְרֹא־לָךְ לָמָּה לֹא־הָלַכְתָּ אֵלָי הַאֻמְנָם לֹא אוּכַל כַּבְּדֶךָ׃ 37
38καὶ εἶπεν Βαλααμ πρὸς Βαλακ Ἰδοὺ ἥκω πρὸς σέ· νῦν δυνατὸς ἔσομαι λαλῆσαί τι; τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ ἐὰν βάλῃ ὁ θεὸς εἰς τὸ στόμα μου, τοῦτο λαλήσω. And Balaam said to Balac, Behold, I am now come to you: shall I be able to say anything? the word which God shall put into my mouth, that I shall speak. Balaam said to Balak, "Lo, I have come to you! Have I now any power at all to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that must I speak."וַיֹּאמֶר בִּלְעָם אֶל־בָּלָק הִנֵּה־בָאתִי אֵלֶיךָ עַתָּה הֲיָכֹול אוּכַל דַּבֵּר מְאוּמָה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר יָשִׂים אֱלֹהִים בְּפִי אֹתֹו אֲדַבֵּר׃ 38
39καὶ ἐπορεύθη Βαλααμ μετὰ Βαλακ, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς πόλεις ἐπαύλεων. And Balaam went with Balac, and they came to the cities of streets. Then Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kir'iath-hu'zoth.וַיֵּלֶךְ בִּלְעָם עִם־בָּלָק וַיָּבֹאוּ קִרְיַת חֻצֹות׃ 39
40καὶ ἔθυσεν Βαλακ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τῷ Βαλααμ καὶ τοῖς ἄρχουσι τοῖς μετ' αὐτοῦ. And Balac offered sheep and calves, and sent to Balaam and to his princes who were with him. And Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam and to the princes who were with him.וַיִּזְבַּח בָּלָק בָּקָר וָצֹאן וַיְשַׁלַּח לְבִלְעָם וְלַשָּׂרִים אֲשֶׁר אִתֹּו׃ 40
41καὶ ἐγενήθη πρωῒ καὶ παραλαβὼν Βαλακ τὸν Βαλααμ ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν στήλην τοῦ Βααλ καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ ἐκεῖθεν μέρος τι τοῦ λαοῦ. And it was morning; and Balac took Balaam, and brought him up to the pillar of Baal, and shewed him thence a part of the people.Balaam's first prophecy. Nu.22.41-23.12And on the morrow Balak took Balaam and brought him up to Bamoth-ba'al; and from there he saw the nearest of the people.וַיְהִי בַבֹּקֶר וַיִּקַּח בָּלָק אֶת־בִּלְעָם וַיַּעֲלֵהוּ בָּמֹות בָּעַל וַיַּרְא מִשָּׁם קְצֵה הָעָם׃ 41
