< Numbers 24 >

1 And he saw Balaam that it was good in [the] eyes of Yahweh to bless Israel and not he went as time on time to meet omens and he set to the wilderness face his.
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Balamu onire atĩ Jehova nĩakenaga nĩ kũrathima Isiraeli-rĩ, ndaacookire kũrũmĩrĩra ũragũri ta ũrĩa ekaga mahinda macio mangĩ, no ehũgũrire akĩrora werũ-inĩ.
2 And he lifted up Balaam eyes his and he saw Israel dwelling to tribes its and it came on him [the] spirit of God.
Rĩrĩa Balamu eroreire akĩona ũrĩa Isiraeli maambĩte hema kũringana na mĩhĩrĩga yao-rĩ, akĩiyũrwo nĩ Roho wa Ngai,
3 And he lifted up oracle his and he said [the] utterance of Balaam son his Beor and [the] utterance of the man opened of the eye.
nake akĩaria ndũmĩrĩri yake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Balamu mũrũ wa Beori, ndũmĩrĩri ya mũndũ ũrĩa riitho rĩake rĩonaga wega,
4 [the] utterance of [the] [one who] hears [the] words of God who vision of [the] Almighty he sees [who] falls down and [who] is uncovered of eyes.
ndũmĩrĩri ya mũndũ ũrĩa ũiguaga ciugo cia Ngai, ũrĩa wonaga kĩoneki kuuma kũrĩ Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ũrĩa ũgũũaga agakoma thĩ, namo maitho make makahingũka:
5 How! they are good tents your O Jacob dwelling places your O Israel.
“Kaĩ hema ciaku, wee Jakubu, nĩ thaka-ĩ, o na ciikaro ciaku igagĩthakara, wee Isiraeli-ĩ!
6 Like wadis [which] they are stretched out like gardens at a river like aloes [which] he has planted Yahweh like cedars at waters.
“Igĩtambũrũkĩte o ta cianda, ikahaana ta mĩgũnda ĩrĩ hũgũrũrũ cia rũũĩ-inĩ, itariĩ ta mĩtĩ ya thubiri ĩhaandĩtwo nĩ Jehova, o na ta mĩtarakwa ĩrĩ hakuhĩ na maaĩ.
7 It will flow water from buckets its and offspring its [will be] in waters many and he may be high more than Agag king its so it may be exalted kingdom its.
Maaĩ makaiyũra ndoo ciao nginya maitĩke; o nayo mbegũ yao ĩgakorwo na maaĩ maingĩ. “Mũthamaki wao akaaneneha gũkĩra Agagi; ũthamaki wao nĩũgaatũgĩrio.
8 God [is] bringing out it from Egypt like [the] horns of a wild ox [belong] to him it will consume nations opponents its and bones their it will break and arrows its it will wound [them].
“Ngai aamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri; marĩ na hinya ta wa ndegwa ya gĩthaka. Matambuuraga ndũrĩrĩ iria imathũire, na makoinanga mahĩndĩ ma cio tũcunjĩ; macitheecaga na mĩguĩ yao.
9 It crouched it lay down like a lion and like a lion who? will he rouse it [those who] bless you [be] blessed and [those who] curse you [be] cursed.
O ta mũrũũthi, methunaga magĩkoma, o ta mũrũũthi wa mũgoma, nũũ ũngĩgeria kũmaarahũra? “Arĩa makũrathimaga marorathimwo, nao arĩa makũrumaga maronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi!”
10 And it burned [the] anger of Balak on Balaam and he clapped hands his and he said Balak to Balaam to curse enemies my I summoned you and here! you have blessed actually this three times.
Nake Balaki agĩcinwo nĩ marakara nĩ ũndũ wa Balamu. Akĩhũũra hĩ ciake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagwĩtire ũnumĩre thũ ciakwa, no wee ũcirathimĩte maita macio matatũ.
11 And therefore flee for yourself to place your I said surely I will honor you and here! he has withheld you Yahweh from honor.
Na rĩrĩ, ũkĩra o rĩu ũinũke! Ndoigĩte nĩngũkũrĩha wega mũno, no Jehova nĩagirĩtie ũrĩhwo.”
12 And he said Balaam to Balak ¿ not also to messengers your whom you sent to me did I speak saying.
Balamu agĩcookeria Balaki atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndierire andũ arĩa wandũmĩire atĩrĩ,
13 If he will give to me Balak [the] fullness of house his silver and gold not I will be able to transgress [the] mouth of Yahweh by doing a good thing or a bad thing from own heart my [that] which he will speak Yahweh it I will speak.
‘O na Balaki angĩĩhe nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki ĩiyũrĩtio betha na thahabu, ndingĩhota gwĩka ũndũ wakwa mwene, mwega kana mũũru, njagarare watho wa Jehova; no nginya njuge ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte’?
14 And now here I [am] about to go to people my come! I will advise you [that] which it will do the people this to people your at [the] end of the days.
Na rĩrĩ, niĩ nĩngũcooka o kũrĩ andũ aitũ, no ũka, ngũmenyithie ũrĩa andũ aya mageeka andũ aku matukũ marĩa magooka.”
15 And he lifted up oracle his and he said [the] utterance of Balaam son his Beor and [the] utterance of the man opened of the eye.
Ningĩ akĩaria ndũmĩrĩri yake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Balamu mũrũ wa Beori, ndũmĩrĩri ya mũndũ ũrĩa riitho rĩake rĩonaga wega,
16 [the] utterance of [the] [one who] hears [the] words of God and [the] [one who] knows [the] knowledge of [the] Most High vision of [the] Almighty he sees [who] falls down and [who] is uncovered of eyes.
ndũmĩrĩri ya mũndũ ũrĩa ũiguaga ciugo cia Ngai, ũrĩa ũrĩ na ũmenyo uumĩte kũrĩ Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno, ũrĩa wonaga kĩoneki kuuma kũrĩ Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ũrĩa ũgũũaga agakoma thĩ, namo maitho make makahingũka, ekuuga ũũ:
17 I see him and not now I observe him and not near it will march forth a star from Jacob and it will arise a scepter from Israel and it will shatter [the] corners of Moab and it will destroy all [the] descendants of Sheth.
“Nĩndĩramuona, no ti rĩu; nĩndĩmũcũthĩrĩirie, no ndarĩ hakuhĩ. Njata nĩĩkoima kũrĩ Jakubu; njũgũma ya ũnene yume kũrĩ Isiraeli. Nĩakahehenja mothiũ ma Moabi, na ahehenje, mahĩndĩ ma mĩtwe ya ariũ othe a Shethu.
18 And it will be Edom a possession and it will be a possession Seir enemies its and Israel [will be] doing strength.
Edomu nĩgũkahootwo; Seiru, thũ yake, nĩakahootwo, no Isiraeli agakĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na hinya.
19 And he will rule from Jacob and he will destroy [the] survivor[s] from a city.
Mwathani mũnene akoima kũrĩ Jakubu na aanange andũ arĩa magaakorwo matigaire a itũũra inene.”
20 And he saw Amalek and he lifted up oracle his and he said [was the] first of [the] nations Amalek and end its [will be] to destruction.
Ningĩ Balamu akĩona Amaleki, na akĩaria ndũmĩrĩri yake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Amaleki nĩwe warĩ wa mbere harĩ ndũrĩrĩ, no marigĩrĩrio-inĩ nĩakanangwo.”
21 And he saw the Kenite[s] and he lifted up oracle his and he said [is] enduring dwelling your and [is] set in the rock nest your.
Ningĩ akĩona Akeni, na akĩaria ndũmĩrĩri yake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Gĩikaro gĩaku nĩ kĩgitĩre, gĩtara gĩaku gĩakĩtwo thĩinĩ wa rwaro rwa ihiga;
22 That except it will become consuming [the] Kenite[s] until when? Asshur will it take captive you.
no rĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ a Akeni nĩmũkanangwo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ashuri makaamũtaha.”
23 And he lifted up oracle his and he said woe! who? will he live from when ordains it God.
Ningĩ akĩaria ndũmĩrĩri yake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Hĩ! Nũũ ũngĩtũũra muoyo rĩrĩa Ngai areka ũguo?
24 And ships [will be] from [the] hand of Kittim and they will afflict Asshur and they will afflict Eber and also it [will be] to destruction.
Meeri nĩigooka ciumĩte hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Kitimu; nĩigatooria Ashuri o na Eberi, no rĩrĩ, o nacio nĩikaanangwo.”
25 And he arose Balaam and he went and he returned to place his and also Balak he went to way his.
Nake Balamu agĩgĩũkĩra, akĩinũka gwake mũciĩ, nake Balaki agĩthiĩ na njĩra ciake.
