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.
Awo Balamu bwe yalaba nga Mukama Katonda asiimye okuwa Isirayiri omukisa, n’ataddayo kunoonya bya bulaguzi, nga bwe yakola ku mirundi emirala, naye n’ayolekeza amaaso ge eddungu.
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.
Balamu n’alengera ewala, n’alaba Isirayiri gye yasiisira ng’ebika bwe byali, n’ajjirwa Omwoyo wa Katonda,
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.
n’alagula nti, “Okulagula kwa Balamu mutabani wa Byoli, okulagula kw’omuntu azibuddwa amaaso,
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.
okulagula kw’oyo awulira ekigambo kya Katonda alaba okwolesebwa kw’Ayinzabyonna, eyeeyaze wansi, n’amaaso ge nga gatunula:
5 How! they are good tents your O Jacob dwelling places your O Israel.
“Eweema zo nga nnungi, Ayi Yakobo, ebifo byo mw’obeera, Ayi Isirayiri!
6 Like wadis [which] they are stretched out like gardens at a river like aloes [which] he has planted Yahweh like cedars at waters.
“Byeyaliiridde ng’ebiwonvu, ng’ennimiro ku mabbali g’omugga, ng’emigavu egisimbiddwa Mukama ng’emivule egiri okumpi n’amazzi.
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.
Amazzi ganaakulukutanga mu bulobo bwabwe; ne gabooga ensigo zaabwe zirifunanga amazzi mangi. “Kabaka waabwe aliba wa kitiibwa okukira Agagi obwakabaka bwabwe bunaagulumizibwanga.
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].
“Katonda ye yabaggya mu Misiri balina amaanyi nga aga sseddume ey’omu nsiko. Basaanyaawo amawanga g’abalabe ne bamenyaamenya amagumba gaabwe mu butundutundu, ne babalasa n’obusaale bwabwe.
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.
Ng’empologoma ensajja, beekulula ne bagalamira wansi, ng’empologoma enkazi; ani ayaŋŋanga okubagolokosa? “Akusabiranga omukisa aweebwenga omukisa n’oyo akukolimira akolimirwenga!”
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.
Awo obusungu bwa Balaki ne bubuubuukira ku Balamu. N’akuba mu ngalo omulundi gumu, n’amugamba nti, “Nakuyita okolimire abalabe bange, naye obasabidde mukisa emirundi gino gyonsatule.
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.
Kale nno situka oddeyo ewammwe! Nagamba nti nnandikuwadde ebitiibwa bingi, naye Mukama akuziyizza okuweebwa ebitiibwa ebyo.”
12 And he said Balaam to Balak ¿ not also to messengers your whom you sent to me did I speak saying.
Balamu n’agamba Balaki nti, “Ababaka bo be wantumira, saabagamba nti,
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.
‘Balaki ne bw’alimpa ennyumba ye ng’ejjudde zaabu ne ffeeza, sigenda kusukka kiragiro kya Mukama ne nkola ekyange ku bwange oba nga kirungi oba nga kibi, wabula nga ndyogera ebyo byokka Mukama by’alindagira okwogera?’
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.
Kaakano nno nzirayo ewaffe mu bantu bange, naye wuliriza nga nkulabula abantu bano kye balikola abantu bo mu nnaku ezijja.”
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.
N’alagula bw’ati nti, “Okulagula kwa Balamu mutabani wa Byoli, okulagula kw’omuntu azibuddwa amaaso,
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.
okulagula kw’oyo awulira ekigambo kya Katonda, aggya okutegeera eri oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo alaba okulabikirwa kw’Ayinzabyonna eyeeyaze wansi, n’amaaso ge nga gatunula.
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.
“Mmulaba, naye si kaakano; mmutunuulira, naye tali kumpi. Emmunyeenye eriva ewa Yakobo; omufuzi alisituka ng’ava mu Isirayiri. Alibetenta Mowaabu, obuwanga bw’abatabani ba Seezi.
18 And it will be Edom a possession and it will be a possession Seir enemies its and Israel [will be] doing strength.
Edomu aliwangulwa; Seyiri, omulabe we, aliwangulwa, naye Isirayiri alyeyongera amaanyi.
19 And he will rule from Jacob and he will destroy [the] survivor[s] from a city.
Omufuzi alisituka ng’ava mu Yakobo n’azikiriza ab’omu kibuga abaliba bawonyeewo.”
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.
Balamu n’alaba Amaleki, n’alagula nti, “Amaleki ye yakulemberanga mu mawanga, naye ku nkomerero agenda kuzikirira.”
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.
N’alaba Abakeeni, n’alagula nti: “Ekifo kyo w’obeera wagumu, ekisu kyo kiri mu lwazi
22 That except it will become consuming [the] Kenite[s] until when? Asshur will it take captive you.
naye era mmwe Abakeeni mugenda kuzikirizibwa Asuli bw’alibatwala mu busibe.”
23 And he lifted up oracle his and he said woe! who? will he live from when ordains it God.
Ate n’alagula nti, “Woowe! Ani aba omulamu nga Katonda asazeewo eky’okukola?
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.
Ebyombo birijja nga biva ku mbalama za Kittimu; birifufuggaza Asuli ne Eberi, naye nabyo birizikirira.”
25 And he arose Balaam and he went and he returned to place his and also Balak he went to way his.
Awo Balamu n’asituka n’addayo ewaabwe, ne Balaki n’akwata agage.
