Numbers 23
1 And Balaam says to Balak, “Build seven altars for me in this [place], and prepare seven bullocks and seven rams for me in this [place].”
Bala’am ya ce, “Ka gina mini bagadai bakwai a nan, ka shirya mini bijimai bakwai da raguna bakwai.”
2 And Balak does as Balaam has spoken, and Balak—Balaam also—offers a bullock and a ram on the altar,
Balak ya yi yadda Bala’am ya faɗa, sai su biyu suka miƙa bijimi da rago a kan kowane bagade.
3 and Balaam says to Balak, “Station yourself by your burnt-offering and I go on, it may be YHWH comes to meet me, and the thing which He shows me I have declared to you”; and he goes [to] a high place.
Sa’an nan Bala’am ya ce wa Balak, “Tsaya nan kusa da hadayarka, ni kuwa in koma wani wurin da yake a kaɗaice. Wataƙila Ubangiji zai sadu da ni. Duk abin da ya bayyana mini, zan faɗa maka.” Sai ya haura kan wani wurin da yake a kaɗaice a tudun.
4 And God comes to Balaam, and he says to Him, “I have arranged the seven altars, and I offer a bullock and a ram on the altar”;
Allah kuwa ya sadu da Bala’am. Bala’am ya ce, “Na shirya bagadai bakwai, na kuma miƙa bijimi guda da rago guda, a kan kowane bagade.”
5 and YHWH puts a word in the mouth of Balaam and says, “Return to Balak, and thus you speak.”
Ubangiji ya ba wa Bala’am saƙo ya ce, “Ka koma wurin Balak, ka faɗa masa wannan saƙo.”
6 And he returns to him, and behold, he is standing by his burnt-offering, he and all the princes of Moab.
Saboda haka, sai Bala’am ya koma wurin Balak ya same shi tsaye a kusa da hadayarsa, tare da dukan dattawan Mowab.
7 And he takes up his allegory and says: “Balak king of Moab leads me from Aram; From mountains of the east. Come—curse Jacob for me, And come—be indignant [with] Israel.
Sai Bala’am ya furta abin da Allah ya faɗa masa ya ce, “Balak ya kawo ni daga Aram, sarkin Mowab ya kawo ni daga gabashin duwatsu. Ya ce, ‘Zo, ka la’anta mini Yaƙub; zo, ka tsine Isra’ila.’
8 How do I pierce [when] God has not pierced? And how am I indignant [when] YHWH has not been indignant?
Yaya zan iya la’anta waɗanda Allah bai la’anta ba? Yaya zan tsine waɗanda Ubangiji bai tsine ba?
9 For from the top of rocks I see him, And from heights I behold him; Behold a people! He dwells alone, And does not reckon himself among nations.
Daga kan duwatsu na gan su, daga bisa kan tuddai na hange su. Na ga mutane da suke zaune su kaɗai ba sa ɗauki kansu ɗaya da al’ummai ba.
10 Who has counted the dust of Jacob, And the number of the fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of upright ones, And let my last end be like his!”
Wa zai iya ƙidaya ƙurar Yaƙub ko yă ƙidaya kashi ɗaya bisa huɗu na Isra’ila? Bari in mutu, mutuwar adali ƙarshena kuma yă zama kamar nasu!”
11 And Balak says to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I have taken you to pierce my enemies, and behold, you have certainly blessed”;
Balak ya ce wa Bala’am, “Me ke nan ka yi mini? Na kawo ka, ka la’anta abokan gābana, sai ga shi albarka kake sa musu!”
12 and he answers and says, “That which YHWH puts in my mouth—do I not take heed to speak it?”
Bala’am ya ce, “Ba dole in faɗa abin da Ubangiji ya sa a bakina ba?”
13 And Balak says to him, “Come! Come to another place with me, from where you see it—you see only its extremity, and you do not see all of it, and pierce it for me there”;
Sa’an nan Balak ya ce masa, “Zo, mu tafi wani wuri inda za ka gan su; a nan kana ganin sashe ne kawai, ba dukansu ba. Daga can kuwa, ka la’anta mini su.”
14 and he takes him [to] the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and builds seven altars, and offers a bullock and a ram on the altar.
Saboda haka ya ɗauke shi zuwa filin Zofim a ƙwanƙolin Fisga, a can ya gina bagadai bakwai, ya kuma miƙa bijimi da rago a kan kowane bagade.
15 And he says to Balak, “Station yourself here by your burnt-offering, and I meet [Him] there”;
Bala’am ya ce wa Balak, “Tsaya nan kusa da hadayarka, ni kuwa in je in sadu da Ubangiji a can.”
16 and YHWH comes to Balaam, and sets a word in his mouth, and says, “Return to Balak, and thus you speak.”
Ubangiji ya sadu da Bala’am, ya kuma ba shi saƙo ya ce, “Koma wurin Balak ka ba shi wannan saƙo.”
17 And he comes to him, and behold, he is standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab [are] with him, and Balak says to him: “What has YHWH spoken?”
Saboda haka ya tafi ya same Balak tsaye a kusa da hadayarsa, tare da dattawan Mowab. Balak ya tambaye Bala’am ya ce, “Mene ne Ubangiji ya ce?”
18 And he takes up his allegory and says: “Rise, Balak, and hear; Give ear to me, son of Zippor!
Sai Bala’am ya furta saƙon da aka ba shi ya ce, “Tashi, Balak, ka saurara; ka kasa kunne gare ni, ɗan Ziffor.
19 God [is] not a man—and lies, And a son of man—and relents! Has He said—and He does not do [it]? And spoken—and He does not confirm it?
Allah ba mutum ba ne, da zai yi ƙarya, shi ba ɗan mutum ba ne, da zai canja tunaninsa. Yana maganar abin da ba zai iya aikata ba ne? Yakan kuma yi alkawarin da ba zai iya cikawa ba?
20 Behold, I have received [only] to bless; Indeed, He blesses, and I cannot reverse it.
Na karɓi umarni in sa albarka; na kuwa sa albarka, ba zan iya janye ta ba.
21 He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen perverseness in Israel; His God YHWH [is] with him, And a shout of a king [is] in him.
“Bai ga mugunta a cikin Yaƙub ba, bai kuma ga wahala a Isra’ila ba. Ubangiji Allahnsu yana tare da su; sowar Sarki yana cikinsu.
22 God is bringing them out from Egypt, As the swiftness of a wild ox for him;
Allah ya fitar da su daga Masar; suna da ƙarfi iri na kutunkun ɓauna.
23 For no enchantment [is] against Jacob, Nor divination against Israel; At the time it is said of Jacob and Israel, O what God has worked!
Ba wata maitar da za tă ci Yaƙub, ba sihiri da zai cuci Isra’ila. Yanzu za a ce game da Yaƙub da Isra’ila, ‘Duba abin da Allah ya yi!’
24 Behold, the people rises as a lioness, And he lifts himself up as a lion; He does not lie down until he eats prey, And drinks blood of pierced ones.”
Mutane sun tashi kamar ƙaƙƙarfar zakanya; sun tā da kansu kamar zaki wanda ba ya hutawa sai ya cinye naman abin da ya kama ya kuma sha jinin abin da ya kama.”
25 And Balak says to Balaam, “Neither pierce it at all, nor bless it at all”;
Sai Balak ya ce wa Bala’am, “Kada ka la’anta su, kada kuma ka sa musu albarka!”
26 and Balaam answers and says to Balak, “Have I not spoken to you, saying, All that YHWH speaks—I do it?”
Bala’am amsa ya ce, “Ban faɗa maka zan yi kaɗai abin da Ubangiji ya ce ba?”
27 And Balak says to Balaam, “Please come, I take you to another place; it may be it is right in the eyes of God to pierce it for me from there.”
Sai Balak ya ce wa Bala’am, “Zo in kai ka wani wuri. Wataƙila zai gamshi Allah, yă bari ka la’anta mini su daga can.”
28 And Balak takes Balaam to the top of Peor, which is looking on the front of the wilderness,
Balak kuwa ya ɗauki Bala’am zuwa ƙwanƙolin Feyor, wanda yake fuskantar hamada.
29 and Balaam says to Balak, “Build seven altars for me in this [place], and prepare seven bullocks and seven rams for me in this [place]”;
Bala’am ya ce, “Ka gina mini bagadai bakwai a nan, ka kuma shirya mini bijimai bakwai da raguna bakwai.”
30 and Balak does as Balaam said, and he offers a bullock and a ram on an altar.
Balak ya yi yadda Bala’am ya ce, ya kuwa miƙa bijimi da rago a kan kowane bagade.
