1 Eka jo-Israel nowuotho e pewe mag Moab mi gibworo e dho Aora Jordan momanyore gi Jeriko.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesuka, bamisa inkamba emagcekeni akoMowabi, nganeno kweJordani, eJeriko.
2 Balak wuod Zipor noneno gigo duto mane jo-Israel osetimo ni jo-Amor,
UBalaki indodana kaZipori wasebona konke uIsrayeli ayekwenze kumaAmori.
3 kendo Moab ne nigi bwok maduongʼ nikech jogo ne ngʼeny ahinya. Adiera, Moab luoro nomako ahinya nikech jo-Israel.
UMowabi wasesesaba kakhulu ubuso babantu, ngoba babebanengi. UMowabi wasetshaywa luvalo ngenxa yabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
4 Jo-Moab nowacho ne jodong Midian niya, “Oganda mangʼenyni biro tieko gimoro amora ma wan-go, mana kaka rwath tieko lum manie pap.” Omiyo Balak wuod Zipor, mane ruodh Moab e kindeno,
UMowabi wasesithi ebadaleni beMidiyani: Khathesi lelibandla lizakhotha konke okusihanqileyo, njengenkabi ikhotha utshani bedlelo. Njalo uBalaki indodana kaZipori wayeyinkosi yakoMowabi ngalesosikhathi.
5 nooro joote mondo oluong Balaam wuod Beor, mane ni Pethor but Aora Yufrate, mantiere e piny mane onywole. Balak nowacho kama: “Ogandagi oa Misri; gipongʼo wangʼ piny kendo gidak machiegni koda.
Wasethuma izithunywa kuBalami indodana kaBeyori ePethori eliseduze lomfula welizwe labantwana babantu bakhe, ukumbiza, esithi: Khangela, abantu baphumile eGibhithe. Khangela, basibekele ubuso bomhlaba, futhi sebehlala maqondana lami.

Khathesi-ke, ake uze, ngiqalekisela lababantu, ngoba balamandla kulami; mhlawumbe ngingaba lamandla okuthi sibatshaye, lokuthi ngibaxotshe elizweni, ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi lowo ombusisayo ubusisiwe, lalowo omqalekisayo uqalekisiwe.
7 Jodong Moab kod Midian nowuok, ka gikawo chudo mar koro. Kane gichopo ir Balaam, neginyise gima Balak nowacho.
Abadala beMowabi labadala beMidiyani basebehamba belembadalo yokuvumisa esandleni sabo; bafika kuBalami, bakhuluma kuye amazwi kaBalaki.
8 Balaam nowachonegi niya, “Ninduru ka kawuono kendo abiro miyou dwoko ma Jehova Nyasaye omiya.” Omiyo jotend jo-Moab nobedo kode.
Wasesithi kubo: Lalani lapha lobubusuku, njalo ngizalilethela ilizwi, njengalokhu iNkosi ezakutsho kimi. Iziphathamandla zakoMowabi zasezihlala loBalami.
9 Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Balaam mopenje niya, “Magi ngʼa gini man kodigi?”
UNkulunkulu wasefika kuBalami, wathi: Ngobani lamadoda alawe?
10 To Balaam nonyiso Nyasaye niya, “Balak wuod Zipor, ma ruodh Moab, noorona ote ni:
UBalami wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: UBalaki, indodana kaZipori, inkosi yakoMowabi, ungithumele esithi:
11 ‘Joma oa Misri opongʼo wangʼ piny. Koro bi kendo ikwongʼnagi. Dibed ni bangʼe anyalo kedo kodgi mi ariembgi.’”
Khangela, abantu baphumile eGibhithe basibekele ubuso bomhlaba; woza khathesi, ungiqalekisele bona; mhlawumbe ngingaba lamandla okulwa labo, ngibaxotshe.
12 To Nyasaye nowacho ne Balaam niya, “Kik idhi kodgi. Kik ikwongʼ jogo, nikech gin joma ogwedhi.”
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuBalami: Ungahambi labo; ungabaqalekisi labobantu, ngoba babusisiwe.
13 Kinyne gokinyi Balaam noa malo mi owachone jotend Balak niya, “Doguru e pinyu, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osedagi weya mondo adhi kodu.”
UBalami wasevuka ekuseni, wathi kuziphathamandla zikaBalaki: Yanini elizweni lakini, ngoba iNkosi iyala ukungivumela ukuhamba lani.
14 Omiyo jotend jo-Moab nodok ir Balak mi owacho niya, “Balaam nodagi biro kodwa.”
Ngakho iziphathamandla zakoMowabi zasukuma, zaya kuBalaki, zathi: UBalami uyala ukuhamba lathi.
15 Eka Balak nooro jotelo mamoko mangʼeny moloyo kendo mongirore moloyo mokwongo ka.
UBalaki wasebuya wathuma njalo iziphathamandla, ezinengi ezidumileyo kulalezo.
16 Negidok ir Balaam mi giwachone kama: “Ma e gima Balak wuod Zipor wacho: Kik iwe gimoro amora tami biro ira,
Zasezifika kuBalami zathi kuye: Utsho njalo uBalaki indodana kaZipori uthi: Ake ungavinjwa yilutho ukuza kimi.
17 nikech abiro chuli maber kendo timoni gimoro amora miwacho. Bi mondo ikwongʼna ogandani.”
Ngoba ngizakuhlonipha lokukuhlonipha kakhulu, lakho konke ongitshela khona ngizakwenza. Ngakho ake uze, ngiqalekisela lababantu.
18 To Balaam nodwoko jotij Balak niya, “Kata ne bed ni Balak ne omiya kar dakne mopongʼ gi fedha gi dhahabu, to ok anyal timo gimoro amora maduongʼ kata matin makalo chik mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha.
Kodwa uBalami waphendula wathi encekwini zikaBalaki: Uba uBalaki ebezangipha indlu yakhe igcwele isiliva legolide, bengingayikweqa umlayo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wami ukwenza okukhulu kumbe okuncinyane.
19 Koro ninduru ka otienoni kaka jowadu mamoko ka notimo, mondo abi awinjiane gima nyien ma Jehova Nyasaye biro nyisa kuom wachni.”
Khathesi-ke, ake lihlale lapha lani lobubusuku, ukuze ngazi ukuthi iNkosi izakuthini kimi futhi.
20 Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Balaam otienono mowachone niya, “Nikech jogi obiro luongi, yie idhi kodgi, to kata kamano itim mana gima anyisi.”
UNkulunkulu wasesiza kuBalami ebusuku wathi kuye: Uba amadoda efika ukukubiza, sukuma uhambe lawo; kodwa kuphela lelolizwi engizalikhuluma kuwe, lona uzalenza.
21 Balaam nochiewo gokinyi, moidho pundane kendo nodhi gi jotelo mag Moab.
UBalami wasesukuma ekuseni, wabophela isihlalo kubabhemikazi wakhe, wahamba leziphathamandla zakoMowabi.
22 To mirima nomako Nyasaye ahinya kane odhi, kendo malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nochungʼ e yo mondo ogengʼne. Balaam noidho pundane, kendo jotijene ariyo bende ne ni kode.
Ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwavutha ngoba wahamba; ingilosi yeNkosi yayakuma endleleni ukuba yisitha esimelane laye. Njalo wayegade ubabhemikazi wakhe, lenceku zakhe ezimbili zilaye.
23 Kane pundano oneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye kochungʼ e chuny yo kotingʼo ligangla e lwete, nobaro oko mar yo modhi e puodho. Balaam nogoye mondo oduog e wangʼ yo.
Ubabhemi waseyibona ingilosi yeNkosi imi endleleni, lenkemba ehwatshiweyo isesandleni sayo; lobabhemikazi waphambuka endleleni, wangena ensimini. UBalami wasemtshaya ubabhemi ukumphendulela endleleni.
24 Eka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nodhi mochungʼ kamoro ma yo dinygo e kind puothe ariyo mag mzabibu kama ochiel gohinga koni gi koni.
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasisima endleleni eminyeneyo yezivini, umduli ngapha lomduli ngapha.
25 Kane pundano oneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye, nosudo machiegni gohingano moreyo tiend Balaam gohingano. Omiyo nogoyo pundano kendo.
Lapho ubabhemikazi ebona ingilosi yeNkosi wazibandezela emdulini, wabandezela unyawo lukaBalami emdulini; wasemtshaya futhi.
26 Eka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nosudo nyime mi ochungʼ kama diny maonge thuolo mar lokruok, korachwich kata koracham.
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasiqhubeka, yema endaweni eminyeneyo, lapho okwakungelandlela yokuphendukela ngakwesokunene kumbe ngakwesokhohlo.
27 Kane pundano oneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye, nonindo piny e tiend Balaam, kendo ii Balaam nowangʼ mi ochwade gi luth.
Lapho ubabhemikazi ebona ingilosi yeNkosi, walala ngaphansi kukaBalami. Ulaka lukaBalami lwaseluvutha, wasemtshaya ubabhemi ngenduku.
28 Eka Jehova Nyasaye noyawo dho pundano, kendo nowacho ne Balaam niya, “En angʼo masetimoni momiyo isegoya nyadidek?”
INkosi yasivula umlomo kababhemikazi, wasesithi kuBalami: Ngenzeni kuwe ukuthi ungitshaye okwalezizikhathi ezintathu?
29 Balaam nodwoko pundano niya, “Isemiya achalo ngʼama ofuwo! Kane bed ni an-gi ligangla e lweta, to dikoro asenegi.”
UBalami wasesithi kubabhemikazi: Ngoba ungenze inhlekisa. Kungathi ngabe kulenkemba esandleni sami, ngoba bengizakubulala khathesi.
30 Pundano nopenjo Balaam niya, “Donge an mana pundani owuon, ma isebedo ka iidho, nyaka kawuononi? Bende iseneno ka an gi kido mar timoni gima chalo kama?” Nodwoke niya, “Ooyo.”
Ubabhemikazi wasesithi kuBalami: Angisuye yini ubabhemi wakho omgade kusukela ngisengowakho kuze kube lamuhla? Ngake ngejwayela ukwenza kanje kuwe yini? Wasesithi: Hatshi.
31 Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye noyawo wenge Balaam, mi noneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye kochungʼ e wangʼ yo korieyo ligangla mare. Omiyo nokulore piny kendo nopodho auma e lowo.
INkosi yasivula amehlo kaBalami, wasebona ingilosi yeNkosi imi endleleni, lenkemba yayo ihwatshiwe isesandleni sayo; wakhothama wathi mbo ngobuso bakhe phansi.
32 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nopenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo isechwado pundani nyadidek? Abiro mondo agengʼi nikech yoreni obam e nyima.
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasisithi kuye: Umtshayeleni ubabhemikazi wakho okwalezizikhathi ezintathu? Khangela, mina ngiphumile ukumelana lawe, ngoba indlela yakho iphambukile kimi;
33 Punda nonena nyadidek mobaro oa yo. To ka dine ok obaro, to dine asenegi, to en to aweye odhi.”

34 Balaam nowacho ne malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Asetimo richo. Ne ok angʼeyo nine ichungʼ e wangʼ yo mondo igengʼna. Koro ka ok imor, to abiro dok dala.”
UBalami wasesithi engilosini yeNkosi: Ngonile, ngoba bengingazi ukuthi umi endleleni ukumelana lami. Ngakho-ke uba kukubi emehlweni akho, ngizabuyela futhi.
35 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Balaam niya, “Dhiyo adhiya gi jogi, to iwach mana gima awachoni.” Omiyo Balaam nodhi gi jodong Balak.
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasisithi kuBalami: Hamba lalawomadoda; kodwa kuphela ilizwi engizalikhuluma kuwe, yilo ozalikhuluma. UBalami wasehamba leziphathamandla zikaBalaki.
36 Kane Balak owinjo ni Balaam biro, nowuok mondo oromne e dala jo-Moab mokiewo gi aora Arnon, e giko mar pinye.
UBalaki esezwile ukuthi uBalami uyeza, waphuma ukuyamhlangabeza emzini wakoMowabi, osemngceleni weArinoni, osekucineni komngcele.
37 Balak nowacho ne Balaam niya, “Donge ne aoroni joote mondo ibi ira piyo? Angʼo ma nomoni biro ira? Koso iparo ni ok anyal chuli?”
UBalaki wasesithi kuBalami: Kangithumanga yini lokuthuma kuwe ukukubiza? Kungani ungafikanga kimi? Isibili kangilamandla okukunika udumo yini?
38 Balaam nodwoko niya, “Mano ber, eri asebiro. Koso iparo ni anyalo wacho gimoro amora? Ooyo, nyaka awach mana gima Nyasaye oketo e dhoga.”
