1 Balaam nowacho niya, “Gerna kende abiriyo mag misango ka, kendo ikna rwedhi abiriyo kod imbe abiriyo.”
Balaamu anati kwa Balaki, “Mundimangire maguwa ansembe asanu ndi awiri pano, ndipo mukonzenso ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri.”
2 Balak notimo kaka Balaam nowacho, kendo negichiwo rwath gi im ewi kendo ka kendo mar misango.
Balaki anachita monga Balaamu ananenera ndipo awiriwo anapereka ngʼombe imodzi ndi nkhosa yayimuna imodzi pa guwa lansembe lililonse.
3 Eka Balaam nowacho ne Balak niya, “Bed but misango ka, ka an to alengʼora e bathe ka; nimar sa moro dipo ka Jehova Nyasaye ofwenyorena. Gimoro amora monyisa to abiro nyisi.” Eka nowuok modhi kama otingʼore gi malo motwo.
Kenaka Balaamu anati kwa Balaki, “Khalani pano pafupi ndi nsembe yanu ineyo ndipite pambali. Mwina Yehova adzabwera kuti akumane nane. Chilichonse chimene akandionetse ndidzakuwuzani” Choncho anapita ku malo okwera a chipululu.
4 Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Balaam kendo Balaam nowachone niya, “Aseloso kende abiriyo mag misango, kendo ewi kendo ka kendo asechiwe misango mar rwath kod im.”
Mulungu anakumana naye ndipo Balaamu anati, “Ndakonza maguwa asanu ndi awiri ndipo pa guwa lililonse ndaperekapo nsembe ya ngʼombe yayimuna imodzi ndi nkhosa yayimuna imodzinso.”
5 Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo Balaam ote kowachone niya, “Dog ir Balak kendo imiye wachni.”
Yehova anawuza Balaamu kuti, “Bwerera kwa Balaki ndipo ukamuwuze uthenga uwu.”
6 Omiyo nodok moyudo Balak kochungʼ but misango mane osechiwo ka en gi jodong Moab duto.
Ndipo anabwerera kwa iye namupeza atayima pafupi ndi nsembe yake pamodzi ndi akuluakulu onse a Mowabu.
7 Eka Balaam nohulo ote moa kuom Nyasaye kama: “Balak ruodh Moab manie piny gode man yo wuok chiengʼ nooma Aram. Nowacho ni, ‘Bi mondo ikwongʼna Jakobo; bi mondo ikwedna jo-Israel.’
Ndipo Balaamu ananena uthenga wake: “Balaki ananditenga kuchoka ku Aramu, mfumu ya ku Mowabu kuchokera ku mapiri a kummawa. Iye anati, ‘Bwera, temberera Yakobo mʼmalo mwanga, pita nyoza Israeli.’
8 Ere kaka anyalo kwongʼo joma Nyasaye pok okwongʼo? Ere kaka anyalo kwedo joma Jehova Nyasaye pok okwedo?
Ndingatemberere bwanji amene Mulungu sanawatemberere? Ndinganyoze bwanji amene Yehova sanawanyoze?
9 Anenogi ka achungʼ ewi kite mabeyo; kendo arangogi gi ewi gode. Aneno oganda modak kar kendgi ma ok oseriwore gi ogendini mamoko.
Kuchokera pamwamba pa mapiri ndikuona anthu, ndikuwaona kuchokera pa zitunda. Ndikuona anthu okhala pawokha, osakhala mʼgulu limodzi ndi mitundu ina.
10 Ere ngʼama nyalo kwano kar romb oganda joka Jakobo machalo gi buru kata ngʼama nyalo kwano migawo mar angʼwen mar Israel? Weuru atho kaka joma kare tho, kendo mad giko mara ochal kod margi!”
Ndani angawerenge zidzukulu za Yakobo zochuluka ngati fumbi, kapena chimodzi mwa zigawo zinayi za Israeli? Lekeni ndife imfa ya oyera mtima, ndi chimaliziro changa chikhale ngati chawo!”
11 Balak nopenjo Balaam niya, “En angʼo ma isetimona? Ne aomi mondo ikwongʼ wasika, to onge gima isetimo makmana gwedhogi!”
Balaki anati kwa Balaamu, “Wandichitira chiyani? Ndinakuyitana kuti utemberere adani anga, ndipo taona, sunachite chilichonse koma kuwadalitsa!”
12 Nodwoke niya, “Ok anyal wacho gima Jehova Nyasaye ne ok onyisa?”
Iye anayankha kuti, “Kodi sindinayenera kuyankhula zimene Yehova anandiwuza?”
13 Eka Balak nowachone niya, “Bi wadhi kamoro machielo kama inyalo nenogie; ibiro mana neno moko kuomgi to ok giduto. To ka isenenogi, to ikwongʼnagi.”
Kenaka Balaki anawuza Balaamu kuti, “Tiye tipite limodzi ku malo ena komwe ungawaone. Udzangoona gulu limodzi osati onsewo. Ndipo pamenepo, ukawatemberere mʼmalo mwanga.”
14 Omiyo notere e pap mar Zofim mantiere ewi Got Pisga, kendo kanyo nogero kende mag misango abiriyo mi nochiwo misango mar rwath kod im ewi kendo ka kendo.
Tsono anamutengera ku munda wa Zofimu pamwamba pa phiri la Pisiga ndipo kumeneko anamanga maguwa ansembe asanu ndi awiri ndipo anapereka nsembe ngʼombe yayimuna imodzi ndi nkhosa yayimuna imodzi pa guwa lansembe lililonse.
15 Balaam nowacho ne Balak niya, “Bed but misangoni ka, ka anto adhi romo gi Nyasaye bathe kocha.”
Balaamu anawuza Balaki kuti, “Khalani pano pafupi ndi nsembe yanu pamene ine ndikukakumana ndi Mulungu cha uko.”
16 Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Balaam kendo nomiyo Balaam ote kowachone niya, “Dog ir Balak kendo imiye wachni.”
Yehova anakumana ndi Balaamu ndipo anamuyankhula kuti, “Bwerera kwa Balaki ndipo ukamuwuze uthenga uwu.”
17 Omiyo nodok moyudo Balak kochungʼ but misangone, ka en-gi jodong Moab. Balak nopenje niya, “Angʼo mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho?”
Ndipo anapita kwa iye ndipo anamupeza atayimirira pafupi ndi nsembe yake pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a ku Mowabu. Balaki anafunsa Balaamu kuti, “Yehova wayankhula chiyani?”
18 Eka Balaam nohulo ote moa kuom Nyasaye kama: Aa malo, Balak, kendo ichik iti; winja, wuod Zipor.
Pamenepo Balaamu ananena uthenga wake: “Nyamuka Balaki ndipo tamvera; Undimvere iwe mwana wa Zipori.
19 Nyasaye ok en dhano, mondo omi oriambi, kata ok en wuod dhano, mondo omi olok pache. Bende onyalo wuoyo to ok otim kaka owacho? Bende onyalo chiwo singo, to ok ochop singruokno?
Mulungu si munthu kuti aname, kapena mwana wa munthu kuti asinthe maganizo ake. Kodi amayankhula koma osachita? Kodi amalonjeza koma osakwaniritsa?
20 Ne ayudo chik mondo achiw gweth; osegwedhogi, kendo ok anyal loko mano.
Wandilamula kuti ndidalitse, Iyeyo wadalitsa ndipo sindingasinthe.
21 “Onge kido magalagala moyud kuom Jakobo, kata tim moro marach moyud kuom Israel. Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi ni kodgi; teko mar Ruoth ni kodgi.
“Palibe kuwukira kulikonse kumene wakuona mwa Yakobo, sanaone chovuta mu Israeli. Yehova Mulungu wawo ali nawo: mfuwu wa mfumu uli pakati pawo.
22 Nyasaye nogologi Misri; tekogi chalo gi teko jowi.
Mulungu wowatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto, ali ndi mphamvu ngati za njati.
23 Onge tim jwok manyalo mako joka Jakobo, kendo timbe ndagla ok nyal mako Israel. Ibiro goyo ngero kuom joka Jakobo ma Israel ni, ‘Ne gima Nyasaye osetimo!’
Palibe matsenga amene angalimbane ndi Yakobo, palibe mawula amene angalimbane ndi Israeli. Tsopano za Yakobo ndi Israeli adzanena kuti, ‘Onani zimene Mulungu wachita!’
24 Ogandani ger mana ka sibuor madhako; kendo gijuol ka sibuor madichwo, ma ok nyal nindo piny nyaka ocham gima onego momadh rembe.”
Taonani, anthu anyamuka ngati mkango waukazi; adzuka okha ngati mkango waumuna umene supuma mpaka utadya nyama imene wagwira ndi kumwa magazi a nyama yogwidwayo.”
25 Eka Balak nowacho ne Balaam niya, “Kare koro kik ikwongʼ-gi kata kik igwedhgi!”
Ndipo Balaki anati kwa Balaamu, “Usawatemberere ndi pangʼono pomwe kapena kuwadalitsa!
26 Balaam nodwoke niya, “Donge ne anyisi ni nyaka atim mana gima Jehova Nyasaye onyisa?”
“Balaamu anayankha Balaki kuti, ‘Kodi sindinakuwuzeni kuti ndiyenera kuchita zimene Yehova wanena?’”
27 Eka Balak nowacho ne Balaam niya, “Bi wadhi kamachielo. Dibed ni biro bedo maber ne Nyasaye mondo ikwongʼnagi kanyo.”
Kenaka Balaki anati kwa Balaamu, “Bwera ndikutengere ku malo ena. Mwina chidzamukondweretsa Mulungu kuti uwatemberere kumeneko mʼmalo mwanga.”
28 Kendo Balak nokawo Balaam nyaka ewi Peor, momanyore gi kama otwo.
Ndipo Balaki anamutengera Balaamu pamwamba pa Peori, poyangʼanana ndi chipululu.
29 Balaam nowacho niya, “Gerna kende abiriyo mag misango kae, kendo ikna rwedhi abiriyo kod imbe abiriyo.”
Balaamu anati kwa Balaki, “Mundimangire maguwa ansembe asanu ndi awiri pano ndipo mundikonzere ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri, nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri.”
30 Balak notimo kaka Balaam nonyise kendo nochiwo misango mar rwath kod im ewi kendo ka kendo mar misango.
Balaki anachita monga Balaamu ananenera ndipo anapereka nsembe ngʼombe imodzi yayimuna ndi nkhosa imodzi yayimuna pa guwa lililonse.
