< Kwan 23 >
1 Balaam nowacho niya, “Gerna kende abiriyo mag misango ka, kendo ikna rwedhi abiriyo kod imbe abiriyo.”
2 Balak notimo kaka Balaam nowacho, kendo negichiwo rwath gi im ewi kendo ka kendo mar misango.
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.
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.”
5 Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo Balaam ote kowachone niya, “Dog ir Balak kendo imiye wachni.”
6 Omiyo nodok moyudo Balak kochungʼ but misango mane osechiwo ka en gi jodong Moab duto.
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.’
8 Ere kaka anyalo kwongʼo joma Nyasaye pok okwongʼo? Ere kaka anyalo kwedo joma Jehova Nyasaye pok okwedo?
9 Anenogi ka achungʼ ewi kite mabeyo; kendo arangogi gi ewi gode. Aneno oganda modak kar kendgi ma ok oseriwore gi ogendini mamoko.
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!”
11 Balak nopenjo Balaam niya, “En angʼo ma isetimona? Ne aomi mondo ikwongʼ wasika, to onge gima isetimo makmana gwedhogi!”
12 Nodwoke niya, “Ok anyal wacho gima Jehova Nyasaye ne ok onyisa?”
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.”
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.
15 Balaam nowacho ne Balak niya, “Bed but misangoni ka, ka anto adhi romo gi Nyasaye bathe kocha.”
16 Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Balaam kendo nomiyo Balaam ote kowachone niya, “Dog ir Balak kendo imiye wachni.”
17 Omiyo nodok moyudo Balak kochungʼ but misangone, ka en-gi jodong Moab. Balak nopenje niya, “Angʼo mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho?”
18 Eka Balaam nohulo ote moa kuom Nyasaye kama: Aa malo, Balak, kendo ichik iti; winja, wuod Zipor.
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?
20 Ne ayudo chik mondo achiw gweth; osegwedhogi, kendo ok anyal loko mano.
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.
22 Nyasaye nogologi Misri; tekogi chalo gi teko jowi.
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!’
24 Ogandani ger mana ka sibuor madhako; kendo gijuol ka sibuor madichwo, ma ok nyal nindo piny nyaka ocham gima onego momadh rembe.”
25 Eka Balak nowacho ne Balaam niya, “Kare koro kik ikwongʼ-gi kata kik igwedhgi!”
26 Balaam nodwoke niya, “Donge ne anyisi ni nyaka atim mana gima Jehova Nyasaye onyisa?”
27 Eka Balak nowacho ne Balaam niya, “Bi wadhi kamachielo. Dibed ni biro bedo maber ne Nyasaye mondo ikwongʼnagi kanyo.”
28 Kendo Balak nokawo Balaam nyaka ewi Peor, momanyore gi kama otwo.
29 Balaam nowacho niya, “Gerna kende abiriyo mag misango kae, kendo ikna rwedhi abiriyo kod imbe abiriyo.”
30 Balak notimo kaka Balaam nonyise kendo nochiwo misango mar rwath kod im ewi kendo ka kendo mar misango.
