Numbers 22
1 And the sons of Israel journey and encamp in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, [by] Jericho.
Sai Isra’ilawa suka kama hanya, suka tafi filayen Mowab, a wajen Urdun, a ƙetare Yeriko, suka yi sansani a can.
2 And Balak son of Zippor seeth all that Israel hath done to the Amorite,
To, fa, Balak ɗan Ziffor ya ga duk abin da Isra’ila suka yi da Amoriyawa.
3 and Moab is exceedingly afraid of the presence of the people, for it [is] numerous; and Moab is vexed by the presence of the sons of Israel,
Sai Mowab ya firgita ƙwarai saboda yawan mutanen. Tsoron Isra’ilawa ya kama su.
4 and Moab saith unto the elders of Midian, 'Now doth the assembly lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the green thing of the field.' And Balak son of Zippor [is] king of Moab at that time,
Sai Mowabawa suka ce wa dattawan Midiyawa, “Wannan taron zai lashe duk abin da ya kewaye mu kamar yadda saniya takan lashe ciyawa a fili.” Saboda haka Balak ɗan Ziffor, wanda yake sarkin Mowab a lokacin,
5 and he sendeth messengers unto Balaam son of Beor, to Pethor, which [is] by the River of the land of the sons of his people, to call for him, saying, 'Lo, a people hath come out of Egypt; lo, it hath covered the eye of the land, and it is abiding over-against me;
ya aika manzanni su zo da Bala’am ɗan Beyor, wanda yake a Fetor, kusa da Kogi, a ƙasar haihuwarsa. Balak ya ce, “Ga mutane sun fito daga Masar; sun mamaye ƙasar, suka kuma yi sansani kusa da ni.
6 and now, come, I pray thee, curse for me this people, for it [is] mightier than I; it may be I prevail — we smite it — and I cast it out from the land; for I have known — that which thou blessest is blessed, and that which thou cursest is cursed.'
Ka zo yanzu ka la’anta waɗannan mutane, domin sun fi ƙarfina. Wataƙila zan iya cin nasara a kansu, in kuma kore su daga ƙasar. Gama na sani duk waɗanda ka sa musu albarka, sun zama masu albarka ke nan, waɗanda kuma ka la’anta, sun la’antu ke nan.”
7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian go, and divinations in their hand, and they come in unto Balaam, and speak unto him the words of Balak,
Sai dattawan Mowab da na Midiyawa suka tashi, suka ɗauki kuɗi don duba. Da suka zo wurin Bala’am sai suka faɗa masa abin da Balak ya ce.
8 and he saith unto them, 'Lodge here to-night, and I have brought you back word, as Jehovah speaketh unto me;' and the princes of Moab abide with Balaam.
Bala’am ya ce musu, “Ku kwana a nan, ni kuwa zan faɗa muku abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa mini.” Saboda haka dattawan sarkin Mowab suka zauna da shi.
9 And God cometh in unto Balaam, and saith, 'Who [are] these men with thee?'
Sai Allah ya zo wurin Bala’am ya ce, “Su wane ne waɗannan tare da kai?”
10 And Balaam saith unto God, 'Balak, son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me:
Bala’am ya ce wa Allah, “Balak ɗan Ziffor, sarkin Mowab ne, ya aiko mini wannan saƙo cewa,
11 Lo, the people that is coming out from Egypt and covereth the eye of the land, — now come, pierce it for me; it may be I am able to fight against it, and have cast it out;'
‘Ga mutane sun fito daga Masar sun mamaye ƙasar. Ka zo yanzu ka la’anta mini su. Wataƙila ta haka zan yi nasara a kansu, in kuma kore su.’”
12 and God saith unto Balaam, 'Thou dost not go with them; thou dost not curse the people; for it [is] blessed.'
Amma Allah ya ce wa Bala’am, “Kada ka tafi tare da su. Kada ka la’anta mutanen nan, gama su masu albarka ne.”
13 And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saith unto the princes of Balak, 'Go unto your land, for Jehovah is refusing to suffer me to go with you;'
Kashegari Bala’am ya tashi ya ce wa dattawan Balak, “Ku koma ƙasarku, domin Ubangiji ya hana ni in tafi tare da ku.”
14 and the princes of Moab rise, and come in unto Balak, and say, 'Balaam is refusing to come with us.'
Saboda haka dattawan Mowab suka koma wurin Balak suka ce, “Bala’am ya ƙi yă zo tare da mu.”
15 And Balak addeth yet to send princes, more numerous and honoured than these,
Sai Balak ya aika waɗansu dattawa masu yawa, masu daraja kuma fiye da na dā.
16 and they come in unto Balaam, and say to him, 'Thus said Balak son of Zippor, Be not, I pray thee, withheld from coming unto me,
Suka zo wurin Bala’am suka ce, “Ga abin da Balak ɗan Ziffor ya ce, Kada ka bar wani abu yă hana ka zuwa wurina,
17 for very greatly I honour thee, and all that thou sayest unto me I do; and come, I pray thee, pierce for me this people.'
gama zan ba ka lada mai yawa in kuma yi duk abin da ka ce. Ka zo ka la’anta mini waɗannan mutane.”
18 And Balaam answereth and saith unto the servants of Balak, 'If Balak doth give to me the fulness of his house of silver and gold, I am not able to pass over the command of Jehovah my God, to do a little or a great thing;
Amma Bala’am ya amsa musu ya ce, “Ko da a ce Balak zai ba ni gidansa cike da azurfa da zinariya, ba zan yi wani abu ko kaɗan saɓanin umarnin Ubangiji Allahna ba.
19 and, now, abide, I pray you, in this [place], you also, to-night; and I know what Jehovah is adding to speak with me.'
To, fa, sai ku kwana a nan kamar yadda waɗancan suka yi, ni kuma in roƙi Ubangiji, in ji, wace magana zai ce mini.”
20 And God cometh in unto Balaam, by night, and saith to him, 'If to call for thee the men have come, rise, go with them, and only the thing which I speak unto thee — it thou dost do.'
A wannan dare, Allah ya zo wurin Bala’am ya ce, “Da yake waɗannan mutane sun zo su tafi da kai, to, ka tafi tare da su, sai dai ka yi abin da na ce ka yi ne kaɗai.”
21 And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saddleth his ass, and goeth with the princes of Moab,
Bala’am ya tashi da safe, ya ɗaura wa jakarsa sirdi, ya tafi tare da dattawan Mowab.
22 and the anger of God burneth because he is going, and a messenger of Jehovah stationeth himself in the way for an adversary to him, and he is riding on his ass, and two of his servants [are] with him,
Amma Allah ya husata sa’ad da ya tafi, mala’ikan Ubangiji kuwa ya tsaya a hanya don yă hana shi. Bala’am kuwa yana kan jakarsa tare da bayinsa biyu.
23 and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and the ass turneth aside out of the way, and goeth into a field, and Balaam smiteth the ass to turn it aside into the way.
Da jakar ta hangi mala’ikan Ubangiji tsaye a hanya da takobi a hannunsa, sai ta kauce daga hanya, ta shiga jeji. Bala’am kuwa ya buge ta don tă koma hanya.
24 And the messenger of Jehovah standeth in a narrow path of the vineyards — a wall on this [side] and a wall on that —
Sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya tsaya a wata matsattsiyar hanya tsakanin gonaki inabi biyu, da bango a kowane gefe.
25 and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah, and is pressed unto the wall, and presseth Balaam's foot unto the wall, and he addeth to smite her;
Sa’ad da jakar ta ga mala’ikan Ubangiji, sai ta matse a jikin bango, ta goge ƙafar Bala’am da bangon. Saboda haka sai Bala’am ya sāke bugunta.
26 and the messenger of Jehovah addeth to pass over, and standeth in a strait place where there is no way to turn aside — right or left —
Sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya sha gabansa, ya tsaya a ƙunƙuntaccen wuri inda ba wurin juyawa dama ko hagu.
27 and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah, and croucheth under Balaam, and the anger of Balaam burneth, and he smiteth the ass with a staff.
Da jakar ta ga mala’ikan Ubangiji, sai ta kwanta a ƙasa, Bala’am kuwa ya husata, sai ya buge ta da sandansa.
28 And Jehovah openeth the mouth of the ass, and she saith to Balaam, 'What have I done to thee that thou hast smitten me these three times?'
Ubangiji ya buɗe bakin jakar, sai jakar ta ce wa Bala’am, “Me na yi maka da ka buge ni har sau uku?”
29 and Balaam saith to the ass, 'Because thou hast rolled thyself against me; oh that there were a sword in my hand, for now I had slain thee;'
Bala’am ya ce wa jakar “Domin kin wulaƙanta ni! Da a ce ina da takobi a hannuna da zan kashe ki nan take.”
30 and the ass saith unto Balaam, 'Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden since [I was] thine unto this day? have I at all been accustomed to do to thee thus?' and he saith, 'No.'
Jakar ta ce wa Bala’am, “Ni ba jakarka ba ce wadda kake hawa kullum, har yă zuwa yau? Na taɓa yin maka haka?” Bala’am ya ce, “A’a.”
31 And Jehovah uncovereth the eyes of Balaam, and he seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and he boweth and doth obeisance, to his face;
Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya buɗe idanun Bala’am, ya kuwa ga mala’ikan Ubangiji tsaye a hanya da takobi a zāre. Sai ya sunkuyar da kansa, ya fāɗi rubda ciki.
32 and the messenger of Jehovah saith unto him, 'Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? lo, I — I have come out for an adversary, for [thy] way hath been perverse before me,
Sa’an nan mala’ikan Ubangiji ya tambaye shi, “Don me ka buge jakarka har sau uku? Na fito ne don in hana ka, gama hanyarka ba daidai ba ce a gabana.
33 and the ass seeth me, and turneth aside at my presence these three times; unless she had turned aside from my presence, surely now also, thee I had slain, and her kept alive.'
Jakar ta gan ni, ta kauce mini har sau uku. Da a ce ba tă kauce ba, lalle da na kashe ka, in kuwa bar ta da rai.”
34 And Balaam saith unto the messenger of Jehovah, 'I have sinned, for I did not know that thou [art] standing to meet me in the way; and now, if evil in thine eyes — I turn back by myself.'
Bala’am ya ce wa mala’ikan Ubangiji, “Na yi zunubi. Ban san ka tsaya a hanya don ka hana ni ba. Yanzu in ba ka ji daɗin tafiyata, sai in koma.”
35 And the messenger of Jehovah saith unto Balaam, 'Go with the men; and only the word which I speak unto thee — it thou dost speak;' and Balaam goeth with the princes of Balak.
Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce wa Bala’am, “Ka tafi tare da mutanen, amma abin da na faɗa maka ne kaɗai za ka faɗa.” Saboda haka Bala’am ya tafi tare da dattawan Balak.
36 And Balak heareth that Balaam hath come, and goeth out to meet him, unto a city of Moab, which [is] on the border of Arnon, which [is] in the extremity of the border;
Da Balak ya ji cewa Bala’am yana zuwa, sai ya fito, ya tarye shi a garin Mowabawa da suke a iyakar Arnon, a ƙarshen yankinsa.
37 and Balak saith unto Balaam, 'Did I not diligently sent unto thee to call for thee? why didst thou not come unto me? am I not truly able to honour thee?'
Balak ya ce wa Bala’am, “Ban aika maka saƙo cikin gagawa ba? Me ya sa ba ka zo ba? Ko ban isa in sāka maka ba ne?”
38 And Balaam saith unto Balak, 'Lo, I have come unto thee; now — am I at all able to speak anything? the word which God setteth in my mouth — it I do speak.'
Bala’am ya amsa ya ce, “To, ai, ga shi, na zo yanzu. Ina da wani ikon yin wata magana ne? Dole in faɗa abin da Allah ya ce in faɗa ne kawai.”
39 And Balaam goeth with Balak, and they come to Kirjath-Huzoth,
Sa’an nan Bala’am ya tafi tare da Balak zuwa Kiriyat-Huzot,
40 and Balak sacrificeth oxen and sheep, and sendeth to Balaam, and to the princes who [are] with him;
a can ya yi hadaya da shanu da tumaki, ya kuwa aika wa Bala’am da dattawan da suke tare da shi.
41 and it cometh to pass in the morning, that Balak taketh Balaam, and causeth him to go up the high places of Baal, and he seeth from thence the extremity of the people.
Kashegari, Balak ya ɗauki Bala’am ya kai shi kan Bamot Ba’al, daga can ya iya ganin sassan sansanin Isra’ilawa.
