¹Î 22:1 Then the Israelites traveled to the plains of Moab and camped
along the Jordan across from Jericho.
¹Î 22:2 Now Balak son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the
Amorites,
¹Î 22:3 and Moab was terrified because there were so many people. Indeed,
Moab was filled with dread because of the Isr aelites.
¹Î 22:4 The Moabites said to the elders of Midian, "This horde is going
to lick up everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field."
So Balak son of Zippor, who was king of Moab at that time,
¹Î 22:5 sent messengers to summon Balaam son of Beor, who was at Pethor,
near the River, in his native land. Balak said : "A people has come out
of Egypt; they cover the face of the land and have settled next to me.
¹Î 22:6 Now come and put a curse on these people, because they are
too powerful for me. Perhaps then I will be able to defeat them and drive
them out of the country. For I know that those you bless are blessed, and
those you curse are curs ed."

¹Î 22:7 The elders of Moab and Midian left, taking with them the fee
for divination. When they came to Balaam, they tol d him what Balak had
said.
¹Î 22:8 "Spend the night here," Balaam said to them, "and I will bring
you back the answer the LORD give s me." So the Moabite princes stayed
with him.
¹Î 22:9 God came to Balaam and asked, "Who are these men with you?"
¹Î 22:10 Balaam said to God, "Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent
me this message:
¹Î 22:11 'A people that has come out of Egypt covers the face of the
land. Now come and put a curse on them for me. Per haps then I will be
able to fight them and drive them away.'"
¹Î 22:12 But God said to Balaam, "Do not go with them. You must not
put a curse on those people, because they are blessed."
¹Î 22:13 The next morning Balaam got up and said to Balak's princes,
"Go back to your own country, for the LORD ha s refused to let me go with
you."
¹Î 22:14 So the Moabite princes returned to Balak and said, "Balaam
refused to come with us."
¹Î22:15 ¹ß¶÷ÀÇ ÀçÃÊû
¹Î 22:15 Then Balak sent other princes, more numerous and more distinguished
than the first.
¹Î 22:16 They came to Balaam and said: "This is what Balak son of Zippor
says: Do not let anything keep you from c oming to me,
¹Î 22:17 because I will reward you handsomely and do whatever you say.
Come and put a curse on these people for me. "
¹Î 22:18 But Balaam answered them, "Even if Balak gave me his palace
filled with silver and gold, I could not do a nything great or small to
go beyond the command of the LORD my God.
¹Î 22:19 Now stay here tonight as the others did, and I will find out
what else the LORD will tell me."
¹Î 22:20 That night God came to Balaam and said, "Since these men have
come to summon you, go with them, but do on ly what I tell you."

¹Î 22:21 Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went
with the princes of Moab.
¹Î 22:22 But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the
LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was rid ing on his donkey,
and his two servants were with him.
¹Î 22:23 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the
road with a drawn sword in his hand, she turned off the road into a field.
Balaam beat her to get her back on the road.
¹Î 22:24 Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path between
two vineyards, with walls on both sides.
¹Î 22:25 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she pressed close
to the wall, crushing Balaam's foot against it. S o he beat her again.
¹Î 22:26 Then the angel of the LORD moved on ahead and stood in a narrow
place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left.
¹Î 22:27 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under
Balaam, and he was angry and beat her with his s taff.
¹Î 22:28 Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and she said to Balaam,
"What have I done to you to make you bea t me these three times?"
¹Î 22:29 Balaam answered the donkey, "You have made a fool of me! If
I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you ri ght now."
¹Î 22:30 The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your own donkey, which
you have always ridden, to this day? Have I b een in the habit of doing
this to you?" "No," he said.
¹Î22:31 ¿©È£¿Í »çÀÚÀÇ ºÐºÎ
¹Î 22:31 Then the LORD opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the angel of
the LORD standing in the road with his sword drawn . So he bowed low and
fell facedown.
¹Î 22:32 The angel of the LORD asked him, "Why have you beaten your
donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path
is a reckless one before me.
¹Î 22:33 The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times.
If she had not turned away, I would certainly hav e killed you by now,
but I would have spared her."
¹Î 22:34 Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned. I did
not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now if you are
displeased, I will go back."
¹Î 22:35 The angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men, but
speak only what I tell you." So Balaam w ent with the princes of Balak.
¹Î 22:36 When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet
him at the Moabite town on the Arnon border, at t he edge of his territory.
¹Î 22:37 Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not send you an urgent summons?
Why didn't you come to me? Am I really not a ble to reward you?"
¹Î 22:38 "Well, I have come to you now," Balaam replied. "But can I
say just anything? I must speak only what God puts in my mouth."
¹Î 22:39 Then Balaam went with Balak to Kiriath Huzoth.
¹Î 22:40 Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and gave some to Balaam
and the princes who were with him.
¹Î 22:41 The next morning Balak took Balaam up to Bamoth Baal, and
from there he saw part of the people. |
