                                    1 Derefter brød Israelitterne op derfra og slog Lejer på Moabs Sletter hinsides Jordan over for Jeriko.                                

                                    1 Then the sons of Israel journeyed, and camped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan opposite Jericho.

                                    2 Da Balak, Zippors Søn, så alt, hvad Israel havde gjort ved Amoriterne,                                

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

                                    3 grebes Moab af Rædsel for Folket, fordi det var så talrigt, og Moab gruede for Israelitterne.                                

                                    3 So Moab was in great fear because of the people, for they were numerous; and Moab was in dread of the sons of Israel.

                                    4 Da sagde Moab til Midjaniternes Ældste: "Nu vil denne Menneskemasse opæde alt, hvad der er rundt omkring os, som Okserne opæder Græsset på Marken!" På den Tid var Balak, Zippors Søn, Konge over Moab.                                

                                    4 Moab said to the elders of Midian, “Now this horde will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field.” And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.

                                    5 Han sendte nu Sendebud til Bileam, Beors Søn, i Petor, der ligger ved Floden, til Ammoniternes Land, og bad ham komme til sig, idet han lod sige: "Se, et Folk er udvandret fra Ægypten; se, det har oversvømmet Landet og slået sig ned lige over for mig.                                

                                    5 So he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor, which is near the River, in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, “Behold, a people came out of Egypt; behold, they cover the surface of the land, and they are living opposite me.

                                    6 Kom nu og forband mig det Folk, thi det er mig for mægtigt: måske jeg da kan slå det og jage det ud af Landet. Thi jeg ved, at den, du velsigner, er velsignet, og den, du forbander, forbandet!"                                

                                    6 Now, therefore, please come, curse this people for me since they are too mighty for me; perhaps I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land. For I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”

                                    7 Da gav Moabs og Midjans Ældste sig på Vej, forsynede med Spåmandsløn, og da de kom til Bileam, overbragte de ham Balaks Ord.                                

                                    7 So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the fees for divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam and repeated Balak’s words to him.

                                    8 Han sagde til dem: "Bliv her Natten over, så skal jeg give eder Svar, efter som HERREN vil tale til mig!" Moabs Høvdinger blev da hos Bileam.                                

                                    8 He said to them, “Spend the night here, and I will bring word back to you as the Lord may speak to me.” And the leaders of Moab stayed with Balaam.

                                    9 Then God came to Balaam and said, “Who are these men with you?”

                                    12 God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.”

                                    13 So Balaam arose in the morning and said to Balak’s leaders, “Go back to your land, for the Lord has refused to let me go with you.”

                                    14 The leaders of Moab arose and went to Balak and said, “Balaam refused to come with us.”

                                    15 Then Balak again sent leaders, more numerous and more distinguished than the former.

                                    18 Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, “Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything, either small or great, contrary to the command of the Lord my God.

                                    22 But God was angry because he was going, and the angel of the Lord took his stand in the way as an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey and his two servants were with him.

                                    23 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way with his drawn sword in his hand, the donkey turned off from the way and went into the field; but Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back into the way.

                                    24 Da stillede HERRENs Engel sig i Hulvejen mellem Vingårdene, hvor der var Mure på begge Sider;                                

                                    24 Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path of the vineyards, with a wall on this side and a wall on that side.

                                    25 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she pressed herself to the wall and pressed Balaam’s foot against the wall, so he struck her again.

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

                                    27 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam was angry and struck the donkey with his stick.

                                    29 Then Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have made a mockery of me! If there had been a sword in my hand, I would have killed you by now.”

                                    30 The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life to this day? Have I ever been accustomed to do so to you?” And he said, “No.”

                                    31 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 all the way to the ground.

                                    32 Men HERRENs Engel sagde til ham: "Hvorfor slog du dit Æsel de tre Gange? Se, jeg er gået ud for at stå dig imod, thi du handlede overilet ved at rejse imod min Vilje.                                

                                    32 The angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way was contrary to me.

                                    33 Æselet så mig og veg tre Gange til Side for mig; og var det ikke veget til Side for mig, havde jeg slået dig ihjel, men skånet dets Liv!"                                

                                    33 But the donkey saw me and turned aside from me these three times. If she had not turned aside from me, I would surely have killed you just now, and let her live.”

                                    34 Da sagde Bileam til HERRENs Engel: "Jeg har syndet, jeg vidste jo ikke, at det var dig, der trådte i Vejen for mig. Men hvis det er dig imod, vil jeg atter vende tilbage."                                

                                    34 Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing in the way against me. Now then, if it is displeasing to you, I will turn back.”

                                    35 HERRENs Engel sagde til Bileam: "Følg blot med disse Mænd, men du må kun sige de Ord, jeg siger dig!" Så fulgte Bileam med Balaks Høvdinger.                                

                                    35 But the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but you shall speak only the word which I tell you.” So Balaam went along with the leaders of Balak.
