1 이스라엘 子孫(자손)이 또 進行(진행)하여 모압 平地(평지)에 陣(진) 쳤으니 요단 건너便(편) 곧 여리고 맞은便(편)이더라

Then the Israelites traveled to the plains of Moab and camped along the Jordan across from Jericho.

And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.

2 ● 십볼의 아들 발락이 이스라엘이 아모리人(인)에게 行(행)한 모든 일을 보았으므로

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

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

3 모압이 甚(심)히 두려워하였으니 이스라엘 百姓(백성)의 많음을 因(인)함이라 모압이 이스라엘 子孫(자손)의 緣故(연고)煩悶(번민)하여

and Moab was terrified because there were so many people. Indeed, Moab was filled with dread because of the Israelites.

And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.

4 미디안 長老(장로)들에게 이르되 이제 이 무리가 소가 밭의 풀을 뜯어 먹음 같이 우리 四面(사면)에 있는 것을 다 뜯어 먹으리로다 하니 때에 십볼의 아들 발락이 모압 王(왕)이었더라

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,

And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.

5 그가 使者(사자)를 브올의 아들 발람의 本鄕(본향) 江邊(강변) 브돌에 보내어 발람을 부르게 하여 가로되 보라 한 民族(민족)이 애굽에서 나왔는데 그들이 地面(지면)에 덮여서 우리 맞은 便(편)에 居(거)하였고

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.

He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:

6 우리보다 强(강)하니 請(청)컨대 와서 나를 爲(위)하여 이 百姓(백성)을 詛呪(저주)하라 내가 或(혹) 쳐서 이기어 이 땅에서 몰아내리라 그대가 福(복)을 비는 者(자)는 福(복)을 받고 詛呪(저주)하는 者(자)는 詛呪(저주)를 받을 줄을 내가 앎이니라

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 cursed."

Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.

7 ● 모압 長老(장로)들과 미디안 長老(장로)들이 손에 卜術(복술)의 禮物(예물)을 가지고 떠나 발람에게 이르러 발락의 말로 그에게 告(고)하매

The elders of Moab and Midian left, taking with them the fee for divination. When they came to Balaam, they told him what Balak had said.

And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.

8 발람이 그들에게 이르되 이 밤에 여기서 留宿(유숙)하라 여호와께서 내게 이르시는 대로 너희에게 對答(대답)하리라 모압 貴族(귀족)들이 발람에게서 留(유)하니라

Spend the night here, Balaam said to them, "and I will bring you back the answer the LORD gives me." So the Moabite princes stayed with him.

And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.

9 하나님이 발람에게 臨(임)하여 가라사대 너와 함께한 이 사람들이 누구냐

God came to Balaam and asked, "Who are these men with you?"

And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?

10 발람이 하나님께 告(고)하되 모압 王(왕) 십볼의 아들 발락이 내게 보낸 者(자)라 이르기를

Balaam said to God, "Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent me this message:

And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,

11 보라 애굽에서 나온 民族(민족)이 있어 地面(지면)에 덮였으니 이제 와서 나를 爲(위)하여 그들을 詛呪(저주)하라 내가 或(혹) 그들을 쳐서 몰아 낼 수 있으리라 하나이다

'A people that has come out of Egypt covers the face of the land. Now come and put a curse on them for me. Perhaps then I will be able to fight them and drive them away.'"

Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.

12 하나님이 발람에게 이르시되 너는 그들과 함께 가지도 말고 그 百姓(백성)을 詛呪(저주)하지도 말라 그들은 福(복)을 받은 者(자)니라

But God said to Balaam, "Do not go with them. You must not put a curse on those people, because they are blessed."

And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.

13 발람이 아침에 일어나서 발락의 貴族(귀족)들에게 이르되 너희는 너희 땅으로 돌아가라 내가 너희와 함께 가기를 여호와께서 許諾(허락)지 아니하시느니라

The next morning Balaam got up and said to Balak's princes, "Go back to your own country, for the LORD has refused to let me go with you."

And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.

14 모압 貴族(귀족)들이 일어나 발락에게로 가서 告(고)하되 발람이 우리와 함께 오기를 拒絶(거절)하더이다

So the Moabite princes returned to Balak and said, "Balaam refused to come with us."

And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.

15 ● 발락이 다시 그들보다 더 높은 貴族(귀족)들을 더 많이 보내매

Then Balak sent other princes, more numerous and more distinguished than the first.

And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.

16 그들이 발람에게로 나아가서 그에게 이르되 십볼의 아들 발락의 말씀에 請(청)컨대 아무 것에도 거리끼지 말고 내게로 오라

They came to Balaam and said: "This is what Balak son of Zippor says: Do not let anything keep you from coming to me,

And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:

17 내가 그대를 높여 크게 尊貴(존귀)케 하고 그대가 내게 말하는 것은 무엇이든지 施行(시행)하리니 請(청)컨대 와서 나를 爲(위)하여 이 百姓(백성)을 詛呪(저주)하라 하시더이다

because I will reward you handsomely and do whatever you say. Come and put a curse on these people for me."

For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.

18 발람이 발락의 臣下(신하)들에게 對答(대답)하여 가로되 발락이 그 집에 銀(은), 金(금)을 가득히 채워서 내게 줄찌라도 내가 能(능)히 여호와 내 하나님의 말씀을 어기어 덜하거나 더하지 못하겠노라

But Balaam answered them, "Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I could not do anything great or small to go beyond the command of the LORD my God.

And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.

19 그런즉 이제 너희도 이 밤에 여기서 留(유)하라 여호와께서 내게 무슨 말씀을 더하실는지 알아 보리라

Now stay here tonight as the others did, and I will find out what else the LORD will tell me."

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

20 밤에 하나님이 발람에게 臨(임)하여 이르시되 그 사람들이 너를 부르러 왔거든 일어나 함께 가라 그러나 내가 네게 이르는 말만 遵行(준행)할찌니라

That night God came to Balaam and said, "Since these men have come to summon you, go with them, but do only what I tell you."

And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.

21 ● 발람이 아침에 일어나서 自己(자기) 나귀에 鞍裝(안장)을 지우고 모압 貴族(귀족)들과 함께 行(행)하니

Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went with the princes of Moab.

And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

22 그가 行(행)함을 因(인)하여 하나님이 震怒(진노)하심으로 여호와의 使者(사자)가 그를 막으려고 길에 서니라 발람은 自己(자기) 나귀를 타고 그 두 종은 그와 함께 있더니

But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.

And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.

23 나귀가 여호와의 使者(사자)가 칼을 빼어 손에 들고 길에 선 것을 보고 길에서 떠나 밭으로 들어간지라 발람이 나귀를 길로 돌이키려고 채찍질하니

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.

And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.

24 여호와의 使者(사자)는 葡萄園(포도원) 사이 좁은 길에 섰고 左右(좌우)에는 담이 있더라

Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path between two vineyards, with walls on both sides.

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

25 나귀가 여호와의 使者(사자)를 보고 몸을 담에 대고 발람의 발을 그 담에 비비어 傷(상)하게 하매 발람이 다시 채찍질하니

When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam's foot against it. So he beat her again.

And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.

26 여호와의 使者(사자)가 더 나아가서 左右(좌우)로 避(피)할 데 없는 좁은 곳에 선지라

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.

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

27 나귀가 여호와의 使者(사자)를 보고 발람의 밑에 엎드리니 발람이 怒(노)하여 自己(자기) 지팡이로 나귀를 때리는지라

When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat her with his staff.

And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.

28 여호와께서 나귀 입을 여시니 발람에게 이르되 내가 네게 무엇을 하였기에 나를 이같이 세 番(번)을 때리느뇨

Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?"

And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?

29 발람이 나귀에게 말하되 네가 나를 拒逆(거역)하는 緣故(연고)니 내 손에 칼이 있었더면 곧 너를 죽였으리라

Balaam answered the donkey, "You have made a fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now."

And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.

30 나귀가 발람에게 이르되 나는 네가 오늘까지 네 一生(일생)에 타는 나귀가 아니냐 내가 언제든지 네게 이같이 하는 行習(행습)이 있더냐 가로되 없었느니라
The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?" "No," he said.
31 ● 때에 여호와께서 발람의 눈을 밝히시매 여호와의 使者(사자)가 손에 칼을 빼어 들고 길에 선 것을 보고 머리를 숙이고 엎드리니
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.
32 여호와의 使者(사자)가 그에게 이르되 너는 어찌하여 네 나귀를 이같이 세 番(번) 때렸느냐 보라 네 길이 내 앞에 悖逆(패역)하므로 내가 너를 막으려고 나왔더니
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.
33 나귀가 나를 보고 이같이 세 番(번)을 돌이켜 내 앞에서 避(피)하였느니라 나귀가 萬一(만일) 돌이켜 나를 避(피)하지 아니하였더면 내가 벌써 너를 죽이고 나귀는 살렸으리라
The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If she had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared her."
34 발람이 여호와의 使者(사자)에게 말씀하되 내가 犯罪(범죄)하였나이다 當身(당신)이 나를 막으려고 길에 서신 줄을 내가 알지 못하였나이다 當身(당신)이 이를 기뻐하지 아니하시면 나는 돌아가겠나이다
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."
35 여호와의 使者(사자)가 발람에게 이르되 그 사람들과 함께 가라 내가 네게 이르는 말만 말할찌니라 발람이 발락의 貴族(귀족)들과 함께 가니라
The angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men, but speak only what I tell you." So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
36 ● 발락이 발람의 온다 함을 듣고 모압 邊境(변경)의 끝 아르논 가에 있는 城邑(성읍)까지 가서 그를 迎接(영접)하고
When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the Moabite town on the Arnon border, at the edge of his territory.
37 발락이 발람에게 이르되 내가 特別(특별)히 보내어 그대를 부르지 아니하였느냐 그대가 어찌 내게 오지 아니하였느냐 내가 어찌 그대를 높여 尊貴(존귀)케 하지 못하겠느냐
Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not send you an urgent summons? Why didn't you come to me? Am I really not able to reward you?"
38 발람이 발락에게 이르되 내가 오기는 하였으나 무엇을 任意(임의)로 말할 수 있으리이까 하나님이 내 입에 주시는 말씀 그것을 말할 뿐이니이다
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."
39 발람이 발락과 同行(동행)하여 기럇후솟에 이르러서는
Then Balaam went with Balak to Kiriath Huzoth.
40 발락이 牛羊(우양)을 잡아 발람과 그와 함께한 貴族(귀족)을 待接(대접)하였더라
Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and gave some to Balaam and the princes who were with him.
41 ● 아침에 발락이 발람과 함께 하고 그를 引導(인도)하여 바알의 山堂(산당)에 오르매 발람이 거기서 이스라엘 百姓(백성)의 陣(진) 끝까지 보니라
The next morning Balak took Balaam up to Bamoth Baal, and from there he saw part of the people.
