Numbers 23
1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
Bala’am ya ce, “Ka gina mini bagadai bakwai a nan, ka shirya mini bijimai bakwai da raguna bakwai.”
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
Balak ya yi yadda Bala’am ya faɗa, sai su biyu suka miƙa bijimi da rago a kan kowane bagade.
3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go; peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to a bare height.
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 met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bullock and a ram on every 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 the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
Ubangiji ya ba wa Bala’am saƙo ya ce, “Ka koma wurin Balak, ka faɗa masa wannan saƙo.”
6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood 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 took up his parable, and said, From Aram hath Balak brought me, The king of Moab from the mountains of the East: Come, curse me Jacob, And come, defy 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 shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? And how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
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 the rocks I see him, And from the hills I behold him: Lo, it is a people that dwell alone, And shall not be reckoned among the 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 can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, 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 said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
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 answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD putteth in my mouth?
Bala’am ya ce, “Ba dole in faɗa abin da Ubangiji ya sa a bakina ba?”
13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
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 took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every 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 said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet [the LORD] yonder.
Bala’am ya ce wa Balak, “Tsaya nan kusa da hadayarka, ni kuwa in je in sadu da Ubangiji a can.”
16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou 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 came to him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD 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 took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; Hearken unto me, thou 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, that he should lie; Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
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 [commandment] to bless: And he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
Na karɓi umarni in sa albarka; na kuwa sa albarka, ba zan iya janye ta ba.
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, Neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: The LORD his God is with him, And the shout of a king is among them.
“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 bringeth them forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox.
Allah ya fitar da su daga Masar; suna da ƙarfi iri na kutunkun ɓauna.
23 Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob, Neither is there any divination with Israel: Now shall it be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
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 riseth up as a lioness, And as a lion doth he lift himself up: He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, And drink the blood of the slain.
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 said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
Sai Balak ya ce wa Bala’am, “Kada ka la’anta su, kada kuma ka sa musu albarka!”
26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
Bala’am amsa ya ce, “Ban faɗa maka zan yi kaɗai abin da Ubangiji ya ce ba?”
27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come now, I will take thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.
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 took Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh down upon the desert.
Balak kuwa ya ɗauki Bala’am zuwa ƙwanƙolin Feyor, wanda yake fuskantar hamada.
29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
Bala’am ya ce, “Ka gina mini bagadai bakwai a nan, ka kuma shirya mini bijimai bakwai da raguna bakwai.”
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.
Balak ya yi yadda Bala’am ya ce, ya kuwa miƙa bijimi da rago a kan kowane bagade.
