Minbu 24
1 Balaam Israel mite phatthei aboh leh Pathen a lunglhai chu ahet phat chun phat dang laiya bang’in doithu ho mangcha din aki go ta pon, gamthip lam agal vet e.
Kwathi uBhalamu esebonile ukuthi kuyamthokozisa uThixo ukubusisa u-Israyeli, kasadinganga njalo imilingo njengakuqala, kodwa waphenduka wakhangela enkangala.
2 Hitia Balaam a dadoh a avetpet chun Israel mite ama phung cheh a akigol u-chu amu tan chu in Pathen lhagao chu Balaam chung ah ahung chu tan ahi.
Kwathi uBhalamu ekhangela wabona u-Israyeli emise izihonqo zakhe ngokwezizwe zakhe, uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela phezu kwakhe
3 Hichun Balaam in akam akehdoh in asei pan tai. Beor chapa Balaam in asei doh ho; kho kimusah pa thusei dohho;
wasesitsho isambulelo sakhe: “Isambulelo sikaBhalamu indodana kaBheyori, isambulelo salowo omehlo akhe abonisisa kuhle,
4 Pathen thupeh awgin japa chun, hatchung-nung gaova muthei pa, Ama angsung a bohkhup a amit-ha let-sah pa:
isambulelo salowo ozwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu, lowo obona umbono ovela kuSomandla, lowo owela phansi ngokuzehlisa, njalo omehlo akhe avulekile:
5 Vo Jacob na ponbuh hohi iti hoiya hitam mo! O Israel na inpi ho lungset aum tangeije.
Aze aba mahle amathente akho, Oh Jakhobe, izindawo zakho zokuhlala, Oh Israyeli!
6 Palm thingna hing dildel bang leh luipang a honlei kisem bang in a kijao-jahdeh jeng in; Pakaiyin a phudoh sa, Vadung pang’a keh Cedar phungho to abang jeng’e.
Njengezigodi zisabalele, njengezivande zisekele umfula, sanhlaba ehlanyelwe nguThixo, njengezihlahla zomsedari ezingasemanzini.
7 A twibel akon twi hing hung putdoh intin; a chilhah hon angaichat jouse anei uve. A lengpa’u jong Agag sang in thupi jo in, a lenggam’u jong ki domsang ding ahi.
Amanzi azageleza emigqonyeni yabo; inhlanyelo yabo ibe semanzini amanengi. Inkosi yabo izakuba nkulu kulo-Agagi; umbuso wabo uzakuba ngophakemeyo.
8 Pathen chun Eygpt a kon ahin pui doh ahi; Ama thahatna chu Gam-bong hangsan tah abangin, Amaho douvah nam jouse avallhum sohtan, agu achang jouseu asuh boh pih in, athalpi hattah chun a kap ji.
UNkulunkulu wabakhupha eGibhithe; balamandla anjengawenyathi. Bayazitshwabadela izizwe eziyizitha njalo bephule amathambo azo abe yizicucu; ngemitshoko yabo babacibe.
9 Keipi bang chan Israel ten alonvuh un, alo tauve; Koiham amaho suthou ngam ding’a chu? Vo Israel nangma na phatthei ho chu ahampha uvin, Nangma na gaosap ho chu avangse ahiuve.
Njengesilwane bayaqutha bacathame phansi, njengesilwanekazi, ngubani olesibindi sokubavusa na? Akuthi labo abakubusisayo babusiswe njalo lalabo abakuqalekisayo baqalekiswe!”
10 Hichun Balak chu Balaam chunga hatah in alung hang tan Balak in Balaam khut teni chu a volhan chuin Balak in Balaam kom mah hitin asei tai, keiman ka melmate gaosap ding a kakou nahin nangman lolhing tah a thumvei phatthei naboh joh ahitai.
Ngakho uBhalaki wamthukuthelela kakhulu uBhalamu. Watshaya izandla zakhe wathi, “Ngikubizele ukuthi uzengiqalekisela izitha zami, kodwa wena usubabusise okwamahlandla la amathathu.
11 Tun nangma na gam lamah kinungle kit tan, keiman nangma hi loupi tah a jabol ding tia kana seidoh ahin, dih tah a sei ding in Pathen in thupitah a nachen na ding ah kon in na tum chondoh joh ahi tai.
Wohle usuke nje khathesi ubuyele kini! Ngithe ngizakupha umvuzo omuhle kakhulu, pho-ke uThixo usekuvimbele ukwamukeliswa umvuzo.”
12 Hichu Balaam in Balak kom ah asei tan keiman a solchah pa komma ka na seipeh hita lou ham? Keima henga nahin solpa heng lamma chu, ati.
UBhalamu wamphendula uBhalaki wathi, “Kanti kangizitshelanga yini izithunywa zakho owazithuma kimi ukuthi,
13 Balaam chun aseiyin sana le dangka insung dimset eikipe jongle keima Pathen thupeh kalval ah ka che be theipoi ati thilpha bol ding chu kakin ahin, keima dei bang tah in ka chal thei poi. Pathen in ei houlimpi ho chu keiman ka sei doh ngai ahi.
‘Loba uBhalaki enganginika isigodlo sakhe sigcwele isiliva legolide, akulalutho lolulodwa ebengizalwenza ngokwentando yami, okuhle kumbe okubi, okuphambene lomlayo kaThixo, kufanele ngitsho lokho kuphela uThixo akutshoyo na’?
14 Chule tua jong keima dihtah a sei ding ahileh kanam ka insung mite lah a che ding ka hitai, hung tan keiman ka sei peh nahi hiche mipi teho hin nangma mite nam lentah chunga ahin bol diu khonung teng Balaam in gaova thusei livei na chan chu hiding ahi.
Khathesi sengibuyela ebantwini bakithi, kodwa woza, ngikuxwayise ukuthi kuyini okuzakwenziwa ngabantu laba ebantwini bakho ensukwini ezilandelayo.”
15 Hichun Balak hin athu lhun bu chu aki lah in hitin asei tan, Balaam chapan hitin a seije pasal koi tabang khovah muthei hon hitin aseiye, ati.
Ngakho uBhalamu wasesitsho isambulelo sakhe: “Isambulelo sikaBhalamu indodana kaBheyori, isambulelo salowo omehlo akhe abonisisa kuhle,
16 Balak in hitin aseijin Pathen thu chu aja tauvin chungnung penna thujong aja tauvin ahi. Chungnung penna gaothu mitphel in ahung lhung tan ahin amit chun kho amutan ahi.
isambulelo salowo olalela ezwe amazwi kaNkulunkulu, ololwazi oluvela koPhezukonke, obona umbono ovela kuSomandla, owela phansi ngokuzehlisa, njalo omehlo akhe avulekile:
17 Ama chu ka ven hinlah ka mu theipoi, amavang Jacob apatna valpa khang hung doh ding ahi. Israel la patna tenggol khat hunngpeng doh ding chule Moab te aning keh ajep chip ding Tumelt chate asuh gam ding ahiye.
Ngiyambona, kodwa hatshi khathesi; ngiyambona, kodwa kungesikho eduze. Inkanyezi izaphuma ivela kuJakhobe; intonga yobukhosi izaphakama ivela ku-Israyeli. Uzacobodisa amabunzi kaMowabi, inkakhayi zamadodana wonke kaSethi.
18 Sedom jong toupha a um ding Seir doupa jong toupha a umding ahi. Amavang Israel chu thahat cheh ding ahi.
I-Edomi izanqotshwa; uSeyiri, oyisitha sakhe, uzanqotshwa, kodwa u-Israyeli uzakhula abe lamandla.
19 Jacob a patna hung ding jahda chun thaneina anei tah ding hiche khopi a amapa umjing nalaipa chu suhgam’a um ding ahiye.
Umbusi uzavela kuJakhobe njalo uzabhubhisa abaseleyo balelodolobho.”
20 Chuin Balak in Amalekte techu aven Amalekte mite chu nam lah a amasa loi pentah ahin, amahi athini geiya anu khah penna pang ding ahi.
Ngakho uBhalamu wabona u-Amaleki wasesitsho isambulelo sakhe: “U-Amaleki wayengowokuqala ezizweni, kodwa ekucineni uzakuba lunxiwa.”
21 Chuin Balak in Mitbah Oraeh chu aki lah kit tan chu in hitin asei tai nangma pansat nahi ada tangeiye ati.
Ngakho wasebona amaKheni wasesitsho isambulelo sakhe njalo: “Indawo yakho yokuhlala ivikelekile, isidleke sakho sakhelwe edwaleni;
22 Nangma Cannan mite jong suhmanga na um ding Asshur ten soh changa nangma na koi ding ahi.
kanti-ke lina maKheni lizabhujiswa ekuthunjweni kwenu yi-Asiriya.”
23 Hichun Balak in gaova aseitan, Oh hitobang tah a hi Pathen in na atoh le koi cheng jou ding hinam?
Ngakho wasitsho isambulelo sakhe: “Kambe ngubani ongaphila nxa uNkulunkulu esenza lokhu na?
24 Chuin twikong ahung kipat doh tan amaho chun Assyria mite chule Eber chu ahopa uvin, amaho jong chu suhmang a um ding ahiuve, ati.
Imikhumbi izakuza ivela okhunjini lwaseKhithimi; bazayehlula u-Asiriya kanye le-Ebha, kodwa laba bazachithwa babe ngamanxiwa.”
25 chujouvin Balaam in adalhan a inlamma akiletan, chuleh Balak jong achi nading lampi ah achitan ahi.
Ngakho uBhalamu wasukuma wasebuyela kibo loBhalaki wahamba ngeyakhe indlela.
