2 Tsono Balaki mwana wa Zipori anaona zonse zimene Aisraeli anachitira Aamori,
Baalaaq ilmi Ziphoori waan Israaʼel Amoorotatti hojjete hunda arge;
3 ndipo Amowabu anaopa anthuwo chifukwa analipo ambiri. Amowabuwo anachita mantha kwambiri mpaka ananjenjemera chifukwa cha Aisraeli.
Moʼaabis waan sabni sun akka malee baayʼee taʼeef ni sodaate. Moʼaabis sababii Israaʼelootaatiif raafame.
4 Iwo anati kwa akuluakulu a ku Midiyani, “Gulu ili lidzabudula zonse zimene zatizungulira monga momwe ngʼombe yothena imathera udzu wa ku tchire.” Tsono Balaki mwana wa Zipori, yemwe anali mfumu ya Mowabu pa nthawi imeneyo,
Warri Moʼaabis maanguddoota Midiyaaniin, “Namoonni baayʼeen kunneen akkuma qotiyyoon marga bakkee dheedee fixu sana waan naannoo keenya jiru dheedee fixa” jedhan. Kana irratti Baalaaq ilmi Ziphoori kan yeroo sana mootii Moʼaab ture sun,
5 anatumiza amithenga kwa Balaamu mwana wa Beori, yemwe anali ku Petori, pafupi ndi mtsinje, mʼdziko la kwawo kuti akamuyitane. Balaki anati: “Taonani, anthu ochokera ku Igupto abwera, adzaza dziko lonse ndipo akufuna kuchita nane nkhondo.
akka isaan Balaʼaam ilma Beʼoor kan biyyuma itti dhalate keessa laga Efraaxiis bira Phetoori keessa jiraachaa ture sana waamaniif ergamoota erge. Baalaaqis akkana jedhe: “Kunoo, sabni tokko biyya Gibxii baʼee dhufeera; kunoo isaan lafa guutanii natti aananii qubataniiru.
6 Tsopano bwera, utemberere anthu amenewa chifukwa ndi amphamvu kwambiri kuposa ine. Mwina ndingadzawagonjetse ndi kuwatulutsira kunja kwa dzikoli chifukwa ndikudziwa kuti amene umawadalitsa amadalitsika, ndipo amene umawatemberera amatembereredwa.”
Sababii isaan na caalaa humna qabaniif amma kottuutii isaan abaari. Yoos ani isaan moʼadhee biyya keessaa ariʼee isaan baasuu nan dandaʼa taʼa. Ani akka warri ati eebbiftu eebbifaman, warri ati abaartus abaaraman nan beekaatii.”
7 Akuluakulu a Mowabu ndi akuluakulu a Midiyani ananyamuka atatenga ndalama zokalipirira mawula. Atafika kwa Balaamu, anamuwuza zomwe Balaki ananena.
Maanguddoonni Moʼaabii fi Midiyaan sun kaʼanii kaffaltii mortuu sanaa fudhatanii deeman. Isaanis yommuu Balaʼaam bira gaʼanitti waan Baalaaq jedheen sana itti himan.
8 Balaamu anawawuza kuti, “Mugone konkuno usiku uno, ndipo ndikuyankhani zomwe Yehova andiwuze.” Choncho akuluakulu a Amowabu anagona kwa Balaamu.
Balaʼaamis, “Halkan kana asuma bulaa; anis deebii Waaqayyo naaf kennu isinitti nan hima” jedheen. Qondaaltonni Moʼaab sun isuma bira turan.
9 Mulungu anabwera kwa Balaamu namufunsa kuti, “Kodi anthu ali ndi iwewa ndani?”
Waaqni gara Balaʼaam dhufee, “Namoonni si wajjin jiran kunneen eenyu?” jedhee gaafate.
10 Balaamu anayankha Mulungu kuti, “Balaki mwana wa Zipori, mfumu ya Mowabu, ananditumizira uthenga uwu:
Balaʼaamis akkana jedhee Waaqaaf deebii kenne; “Baalaaq ilmi Ziphoori, mootichi Moʼaab akkana jedhee ergaa kana natti erge:
11 ‘Taonani, anthu amene achokera ku dziko la Igupto adzaza dziko lonse. Tsopano bwera udzawatemberere mʼmalo mwanga. Mwina ndidzatha kumenyana nawo ndi kuwatulutsa.’”
‘Kunoo, sabni biyya Gibxii baʼee dhufe tokko lafa guuteera; ati amma kottuutii isaan naaf abaari. Yoos ani isaan lolee ariʼee biyyaa baasuu nan dandaʼa taʼaatii.’”
12 Koma Mulungu anawuza Balaamu kuti, “Usapite nawo. Usawatemberere anthu amenewo chifukwa ndi odalitsika.”
Waaqayyo garuu Balaʼaamiin, “Isaan wajjin hin deemin. Sababii isaan eebbifamoo taʼaniif ati saba sana hin abaarin” jedhe.
13 Mmawa mwake Balaamu anadzuka ndi kuwuza akuluakulu a Balaki aja kuti, “Bwererani ku dziko la kwanu chifukwa Yehova sanandilole kuti ndipite nanu.”
Balaʼaam ganama itti aanu kaʼee qondaaltota Baalaaqiin, “Sababii Waaqayyo isin wajjin deemuu na dhowweef, isin amma kaʼaa biyya keessanitti deebiʼaa” jedhe.
14 Kotero akuluakulu a Mowabu anabwerera kwa Balaki ndi kukanena kuti, “Balaamu wakana kubwera nafe.”
Qondaaltonni Moʼaab gara Baalaaqitti deebiʼanii, “Balaʼaam nu wajjin dhufuu dide” jedhaniin.
15 Kenaka Balaki anatumanso akuluakulu ena ambiri ndi olemekezeka kwambiri kuposa oyamba aja ndipo
Baalaaqis qondaaltota warra duraa sana caalaa baayʼee fi caalaa bebeekamoo kan biraa erge.
16 anafika kwa Balaamu nati; “Zomwe Balaki mwana wa Zipori akunena ndi izi: ‘Usalole kuti china chilichonse chikulepheretse kubwera kwa ine,
Isaanis dhufanii Balaʼaamiin akkana jedhan: “Wanni Baalaaq ilmi Ziphoori jedhu kunoo kana: ‘Maaloo wanni tokko iyyuu gara koo dhufuu si hin dhowwin;
17 chifukwa ndidzakulipira bwino kwambiri ndipo ndidzakuchitira chilichonse chimene unganene. Bwera ndipo uwatemberere anthu amenewa mʼmalo mwanga.’”
ani ulfina guddaa siif nan kennaatii; waan ati jettu hundas nan guuta. Kottuu saba kana naa abaari.’”
18 Koma Balaamu anayankha atumiki a Balaki kuti, “Ngakhale Balaki atandipatsa nyumba yaufumu yodzaza ndi siliva ndi golide sindingachite chilichonse chachikulu kapena chachingʼono kuposa kuchita lamulo la Yehova Mulungu wanga.
Balaʼaam garuu akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Utuu Baalaaq masaraa isaa kan meetii fi warqeen guutame sana naaf kenne illee, ani ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa kootiin alatti waan xinnaa yookaan guddaa tokko illee hojjechuu hin dandaʼu.
19 Tsopano mukhale kuno usiku uno monga ena anachitira, ndidzaona chimene Yehova adzandiwuza.”
Akka ani waan Waaqayyo natti himu kan biraa beekuu dandaʼuuf isinis akkuma warra kaanii as bulaa.”
20 Usiku umenewo Mulungu anabwera kwa Balaamu ndipo anati, “Popeza anthu awa abwera kudzakuyitana, nyamuka, pita nawo koma ukachite zokhazo zimene ndikuwuze.”
Halkan sana Waaqayyo gara Balaʼaam dhufee, “Sababii namoonni kunneen si waamuu dhufaniif, isaan wajjin deemi; garuu waanuma ani sitti himu qofa hojjedhu” jedheen.
21 Balaamu anadzuka mmawa, namanga bulu wake wamkazi ndipo anapita ndi akuluakulu a Mowabu.
Balaʼaam ganamaan kaʼee harree isaa irra kooraa kaaʼatee qondaaltota Moʼaab sana wajjin deeme.
22 Koma Mulungu anakwiya kwambiri pamene ankapita ndipo mngelo wa Yehova anayima pa njira kutsutsana naye. Balaamu anakwera bulu wake wamkazi ndipo antchito ake awiri anali naye.
Waaqni garuu inni deemnaan itti aare; ergamaan Waaqayyoo tokkos isaan mormuuf jedhee karaa irra dhaabate. Balaʼaamis harree isaa yaabbatee deemaa ture; tajaajiltoonni isaa lamaan isa wajjin turan.
23 Pamene buluyo anaona mngelo wa Yehova atayima pa njira ndi lupanga mʼmanja mwake, anapatukira kumbali kwa msewu napita kutchire. Balaamu anamumenya kuti abwerere mu msewu.
Harreen sun immoo ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan goraadee luqqifatee harkatti qabatee karaa irra dhaabatu arginaan of irra gara galtee karaa irraa gortee lafa qotiisaa seente. Balaʼaamis karaatti ishee deebisuudhaaf harree sana rukute.
24 Kenaka mngelo wa Yehova anayima mʼkanjira kakangʼono pakati pa minda iwiri ya mpesa yokhala ndi makoma mbali zonse
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun garuu daandii dhiphoo, iddoo dhaabaa wayinii lama kanneen gama lamaan dallaa qaban gidduu baatu irra dhaabate.
25 Bulu uja ataona mngelo wa Yehova anadzipanikiza ku khoma, kukhukhuza phazi la Balaamu kukhomako. Ndipo pomwepo Balaamu anamenya buluyo kachiwiri.
Harreen sun ergamaa Waaqayyoo arginaan, dallaatti maxxantee miilla Balaʼaam dallaatti buufte. Inni ammas harree sana rukute.
26 Kenaka mngelo wa Yehova anapita patsogolo ndi kuyima pamalo opanikizika pomwe panalibe poti nʼkutembenukira ku dzanja lamanja kapena lamanzere.
Ergamaan Waaqayyoos fuula duratti hiiqee daandii dhiphaa iddoo ittiin mirgatti yookaan bitaatti goran hin qabne tokko irra dhaabate.
27 Buluyo ataonanso mngelo wa Yehova uja, anagona pansi Balaamu ali pa msana, ndipo iye anakwiya ndi kumumenya ndi ndodo yake.
Harreen sun ergamaa Waaqayyoo arginaan Balaʼaam jalaa gad ciifte; innis aaree ulee ofiitiin harree sana rukute.
28 Pamenepo Yehova anayankhulitsa bulu uja, ndipo buluyo anati kwa Balaamu, “Ndakuchitirani chiyani kuti mundimenye katatuka?”
Kana irratti Waaqayyo afaan harree sanaa banee harreen sun Balaʼaamiin, “Ani maal si yakkinaan ati akkas yeroo sadii na rukutte?” jette.
29 Balaamu anati kwa buluyo, “Wandipusitsa, ndikanakhala ndi lupanga mʼmanja mwanga, ndikanakupha pomwe pano.”
Balaʼaamis harree sanaan, “Ati na gowwoomsite; ani utuu goraadee of harkaa qabaadhee silaa ammuman si ajjeesa” jedhe.
30 Buluyo anati kwa Balaamu, “Kodi sindine bulu wanu, amene mumakwera nthawi zonse kufikira lero? Kodi ndinakuchitiranipo zoterezi?” Iye anati “Ayi.”
Harreen sun amma illee Balaʼaamiin akkana jette; “Ani harree kee kan ati hamma harʼaatti guyyaa hunda yaabbattu mitii? Ani takkumaa waan akkasii sitti hojjedhee beekaa?” Innis, “Lakkii” jedhee deebiseef.
31 Pomwepo Yehova anatsekula maso Balaamu ndipo anaona mngelo wa Yehovayo ali chiyimire pa njira ndi lupanga losolola. Tsono iye anawerama nalambira pamaso pake.
Yommus Waaqayyo ija Balaʼaam bane; Balaʼaamis ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan goraadee luqqifatee karaa irra dhaabatu arge. Kana irratti inni addaan lafatti gombifamee sagade.
32 Mngelo wa Yehova anamufunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani wamenya bulu wako katatu? Taona, Ine ndabwera kudzakutsutsa chifukwa ulendo wakowu ndi woyipa pamaso panga.
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun akkana jedhee isa gaafate; “Ati maaliif yeroo sadan kana harree kee rukutte? Kunoo ani waan karaan kee fuula koo duratti jalʼaa taʼeef siin mormuudhaafan dhufe.
33 Buluyu anandiona ndi kupatuka katatu aka. Akanakhala kuti sanapatuke, ndikanakupha tsopano, koma buluyu nʼkanamusiya ndi moyo.”
Harreen kun na argitee yeroo kana sadanuu narraa gorte. Utuu isheen narraa goruu baattee silaa ani yoona si ajjeesee ishee immoo hambisa ture.”
34 Balaamu anati kwa mngelo wa Yehova uja, “Ndachimwa. Sindinadziwe kuti munayima pa njira kunditsutsa. Tsopano ngati Inu simunakondwe, ineyo ndibwerera.”
Balaʼaamis ergamaa Waaqayyootiin, “Ani cubbuu hojjedheera. Ani akka ati naan mormuuf jettee karaa irra dhaabatte hin hubanne. Ammas yoo sitti hin tolin ani nan deebiʼa” jedhe.
35 Mngelo wa Yehova anati kwa Balaamu, “Pita ndi anthuwa koma ukayankhule zokhazo zimene ndikakuwuze.” Choncho Balaamu anapita ndi akuluakulu a Balaki.
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis Balaʼaamiin, “Namoota kana wajjin deemi; garuu waanuma ani sitti himu qofa dubbadhu” jedhe. Akkasiin Balaʼaam qondaaltota Baalaaq sana wajjin deeme.
36 Balaki atamva kuti Balaamu akubwera, anapita kukakumana naye ku mzinda wa Mowabu umene unali mʼmalire a Arinoni, mʼmphepete mwa dziko lake.
Baalaaqis akka Balaʼaam dhufaa jiru dhageenyaan, magaalaa Moʼaab kan daarii Arnoon irratti argamtutti isa simachuudhaaf kaʼee deeme.
37 Balaki anati kwa Balaamu, “Kodi sindinakutumizire uthenga woti ubwere msanga? Chifukwa chiyani sunabwere kwa ine? Kodi sindingathe kukulipira mokwanira?”
Baalaaqis Balaʼaamiin akkana jedhe; “Ani dhaamsa ariifachiisaa sitti hin erginee? Ati maaliif na bira hin dhufne? Ani dhugumaan ulfina siif kennuu hin dandaʼuu?”
38 Balaamu anayankha Balaki kuti, “Taonani, ndabwera kwa inu lero, kodi ine ndili ndi mphamvu zoti nʼkuyankhula chilichonse? Inetu ndiyenera kuyankhula zokhazo zimene Mulungu wandiwuza.”
Balaʼaamis, “Kunoo ani si bira dhufeera. Garuu ani waanuman arge dubbachuu nan dandaʼaa? Ani waanuma Waaqni afaan koo keessa kaaʼu qofan dubbachuu qaba” jedhee deebise.
39 Pamenepo Balaamu anapita pamodzi ndi Balaki ku Kiriati-Huzoti.
Balaʼaamis kaʼee Baalaaq wajjin Qiiriyaati Haxoti dhaqe.
40 Balaki anapereka nsembe ngʼombe ndi nkhosa, ndipo anapereka zina kwa Balaamu ndi kwa akuluakulu omwe anali naye.
Baalaaq loonii fi hoolaa aarsaa dhiʼeessee gara tokko Balaʼaamii fi qondaaltota isa wajjin turaniif kenne.
41 Mmawa mwake Balaki anatenga Balaamu napita limodzi ku Bamoti Baala, ndipo kumeneko anakaonako gulu lina la Aisraeliwo.
Ganama itti aanus Baalaaq, Balaʼaamin Baamooti Baʼaalitti ol baase; innis achi dhaabatee saba Israaʼel warra daangaa gamaa irra jiran arge.
