< Numbers 23 >
1 And Balaam seide to Balaach, Bilde thou here to me seuene auteris, and make redi so many caluys, and rammes of the same noumbre.
Belam sịrị, “Wuoro m ebe ịchụ aja asaa nʼebe a. Kwadokwaara m oke ehi asaa na ebule asaa.”
2 And whanne he hadde do bi the word of Balaam, thei puttiden a calf and a ram to gidere on the auter.
Balak mezuru dịka Belam gwara ya. Ha abụọ gburu otu oke ehi na otu nwa ebule nʼebe ịchụ aja asaa ahụ nʼotu na otu.
3 And Balaam seide to Balaach, Stond thou a litil while bisidis thi brent sacrifice, while Y go, if in hap the Lord meete me; and Y schal `speke to thee what euer thing he schal comaunde.
Mgbe ahụ, Belam gwara Balak sị, “Guzoro nʼebe a nʼakụkụ aja gị ka m gaa nʼihu chọpụta ma eleghị anya Onyenwe anyị ga-ezute m. Aga m agwa gị ihe ọbụla o kpughere m.” Ya mere, Belam rigooro nʼebe ọhịa na-adịghị.
4 And whanne he hadde go swiftli, God cam to hym; and Balaam spak to hym, and seide, Y reiside seuene auteris, and Y puttide a calf and a ram aboue.
Chineke zutere ya nʼebe ahụ. Belam gwara ya sị, “Edoziela m ebe ịchụ aja asaa, gbukwaa otu oke ehi na otu ebule nʼelu ha niile nʼotu na otu.”
5 Forsothe the Lord `puttide a word in his mouth, and seide, Turne ayen to Balaach, and thou schalt speke these thingis.
Nʼoge a, Onyenwe anyị tinyere Belam ozi nʼọnụ sị ya, “Laghachi gaa zie Balak ozi a.”
6 He turnede ayen, and fond Balach stondynge bisidis his brent sacrifice, and alle the princes of Moabitis.
Mgbe Belam lọghachiri ọ hụrụ ya ka o guzoro nʼakụkụ ihe aja ya ndị ahụ, ya na ndịisi Moab niile.
7 And whanne his parable `was takun, he seide, Balaach, the kyng of Moabitis, brouyte me fro Aran, fro the `hillis of the eest; and he seide, Come thou and curse Jacob; haaste thou, and greetli curse thou Israel.
Nke a bụ ozi Belam ziri: “Balak esitela nʼobodo Aram kpọta m. Eze Moab esitela nʼọwụwa anyanwụ nke ugwu ahụ kpọta m. Ọ sịrị m, bịa bụọrọ m Jekọb ọnụ bịa kwutọọ Izrel.
8 How schal Y curse whom God cursid not? bi what resoun schal Y `haue abhomynable whom God `hath not abhomynable?
M ga-esi aṅaa bụọ onye Chineke na-abụghị ọnụ ọnụ? M ga-esi aṅaa kọchaa onye Onyenwe anyị na-akọchaghị?
9 Fro the hiyeste flyntis Y schal se hym, and fro litle hillis Y schal biholde hym; the puple schal dwelle aloone, and it schal not be arettid among hethene men.
Esitela m nʼelu nkume ndị a hụ ha. Elegidere m ha anya site nʼugwu ahụ, hụ na ha bụ ndị biri onwe ha, ndị dị iche site nʼetiti mba niile ọzọ.
10 Who may noumbre the dust, that is, kynrede, of Jacob, and knowe the noumbre of the generacioun of Israel? My lijf die in the deeth of iust men, and my laste thingis be maad lijk hem!
Onye pụrụ ịgụta ole uzuzu Jekọb dị? Maọbụ gụta ole otu ụzọ nʼime nkewa anọ nke Izrel dị. Ọ ga-atọ m ụtọ ịnwụ ụdị ọnwụ ndị na-eme ezi omume. Ka ọgwụgwụ ndụ m bụrụ ihe nwere ike iyi nke ha!”
11 And Balaach seide to Balaam, What is this that thou doist? Y clepide thee, that thou schuldist curse myn enemyes, and ayenward thou blessist hem.
Balak sịrị Belam, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere m? Akpọtara m gị ka ị bụọrọ m ndị iro m ọnụ, ma ugbu a, ọ dịghị ihe ọzọ i mere karịa naanị ịgọzi ha!”
12 To whom Balaam answeride, Whether Y may speke othir thing no but that that the Lord comaundith?
Ma Belam zaghachiri sị ya, “Ọ bụghị ihe Onyenwe anyị tinyere m nʼọnụ ka m ga-ekwu?”
13 Therfor Balaach seide to Balaam, Come with me in to anothir place, fro whennus thou se a part of Israel, and mayst not se al; fro thennus curse thou hym.
Mgbe ahụ, Balak sịrị ya, “Soro m bịa nʼebe ọzọ ebe ị ga-ahụ ha; ọ bụ naanị nsọtụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ha ka ị ga-ahụ, ị gaghị ahụ ha niile. Site nʼebe ahụ bụọrọ m ha ọnụ.”
14 And whanne he hadde led Balaam in to an hiy place, on the cop of the hil of Phasga, he bildide seuene auteris to Balaam, and whanne calues and rammes weren put aboue,
Ya mere, eze Balak duuru Belam gaa nʼọhịa Zofim, nʼelu ugwu Pisga, wuo ebe ịchụ aja asaa nʼebe ahụ. O jikwa otu oke ehi, otu oke ehi, na otu ebule, otu ebule, chụọ aja nʼebe ịchụ aja ndị ahụ.
15 he seide to Balaach, Stonde here bisidis thi brent sacrifice, while Y go.
Belam sịrị Balak, “Guzoro nʼebe a nʼakụkụ ihe aja gị, ebe mụ onwe m ga-ezute ya nʼofe nke ọzọ.”
16 And whanne the Lord hadde `come to him, and hadde put `a word in his mouth, he seide, Turne ayen to Balach, and thou schalt seie these thingis to hym.
Ma Onyenwe anyị zutere Belam gwa ya ihe ọ ga-ekwu sị ya, “Laghachikwuru Balak zie ya ozi a.”
17 He turnyde ayen, and foond Balach stondynge bisidis his brent sacrifice, and the princis of Moabitis with hym. To whom Balach seide, What spak the Lord?
Ya mere, ọ lọghachiri azụ nʼebe ahụ Balak na ụmụ eze Moab guzoro nʼakụkụ ihe aja ha. Balak jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị?”
18 And whanne his parable `was takun, he seide, Stonde, Balach, and herkene; here, thou sone of Sephor. God is not `as a man,
Ma Belam zaghachiri sị ya: “Bilie ọtọ Balak, nụrụ ozi. Ṅaa ntị nʼokwu m, gị nwa Zipoa.
19 that he lye, nethir he is as the sone of a man, that he be chaungid; therfor he seide, and schal he not do? he spak, and schal he not fulfille?
Chineke agaghị agha ụgha, nʼihi na ọ bụghị mmadụ. Ọ gaghị agbanwe obi ya, nʼihi na ọ bụghị nwa mmadụ. O kwuola okwu, ma ghara ime ihe o kwuru? O kwela nkwa ma ghara imezu nkwa o kwere?
20 Y am brouyt to blesse, Y may not forbede blessyng.
Chineke enyela m iwu sị m gọzie ha. Ọ gọziela ha, a pụghịkwa ịgbanwe ya!
21 Noon idol is in Jacob, nethir symylacre is seyn in Israel; his Lord God is with hym, and the sown of victorie of kyng is in hym.
“O nweghị ajọ ihe nke ahụrụ nʼime Jekọb, ahụghịkwa mwute ọbụla nʼIzrel. Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha nọnyeere ha. Iti mkpu nke Eze dịkwa nʼetiti ha.
22 The Lord God ledde hym out of Egipt, whos strengthe is lijk an vnicorn;
Chineke kpọpụtara ha site nʼIjipt. Ha dị ike dịka ehi ọhịa.
23 fals tellyng bi chiteryng of bryddis, `ethir idolatrie, is not in Jacob, nethir fals dyuynyng is in Israel. In his tymes it schal be seide to Jacob and Israel, What the Lord hath wrought!
Ọ dịghị mgbaasị ga-emegide ha. Ọ dịkwaghị ịgba afa a pụrụ iji megide Izrel. Nʼihi na ugbu a, ihe dị otu a ka a ga-ekwu banyere Jekọb na Izrel. ‘Lee, ihe Chineke mere ha.’
24 Lo! the puple schal rise to gidere as a lionesse, and schal be reisid as a lioun; the lioun schal not reste, til he deuoure prey, and drynke the blood of hem that ben slayn.
Ha na-ebili ọtọ dịka nne ọdụm, ha na-enugharị onwe ha dịka ọdụm, nke na-adịghị edina ala tutu o richaa ihe o gburu, ma ṅụọkwa ọbara ihe ahụ o tigburu!”
25 And Balach seide to Balaam, Nether curse thou, nether blesse thou hym.
Mgbe ahụ, Balak sịrị Belam, “Abụla ha ọnụ ma ọlị, ma ọ bụkwanụ gọzie ha ma ọlị.”
26 And he seide, Whether Y seide not to thee, that what euer thing that God comaundide to me, Y wolde do this?
Ma Belam zaghachiri, “Ọ bụ na m agwaghị gị, ihe ọbụla nke Onyenwe anyị ga-ekwu ka m ga-eme?”
27 And Balach seide to hym, Come, and Y schal lede thee to an other place, if in hap it plesith God that fro thennus thou curse hym.
Mgbe ahụ, Balak sịrị Belam, “Bịa, aga m akpọrọ gị gaa nʼebe ọzọ. Eleghị anya ọ ga-amasị Chineke ka i si nʼebe ahụ bụọrọ m ha ọnụ.”
28 And whanne Balaach hadde led hym out on the `cop of the hil of Phegor, that biholdith the wildirnesse,
Ya mere, Balak duuru Belam gaa nʼelu ugwu Peoa nke na-elegide ọzara ahụ anya.
29 Balaam seide to hym, Bilde here seuene auteris to me, and make redi so many caluys, and rammes of the same noumbre.
Belam gwara Balak okwu sị ya, “Wuoro m ebe ịchụ aja asaa ọzọ. Doziekwa ụmụ oke ehi asaa na ebule asaa e ji achụ aja.”
30 Balaach dide as Balaam seide, and he puttide caluys and rammes, bi alle auteris.
Balak mere dịka Belam gwara ya. O ji otu oke ehi na otu ebule chụọ aja nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ nʼotu na otu.
