Numbers 24

1 And Balaam seeth that [it is] good in the eyes of Jehovah to bless Israel, and he hath not gone as time by time to meet enchantments, and he setteth towards the wilderness his face;

To, da Bala’am ya ga cewa Ubangiji yana jin daɗin sa wa Isra’ila albarka, bai koma wajen sihiri kamar dā ba, amma ya juya fuskarsa wajen hamada.

2 and Balaam lifteth up his eyes, and seeth Israel tabernacling, by its tribes, and the Spirit of God is upon him,

Da Bala’am ya duba sai ya ga Isra’ila sun yi sansani kabila, kabila, Ruhun Allah kuwa ya sauko masa,

3 and he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'An affirmation of Balaam son of Beor — And an affirmation of the man whose eyes are shut —

sai ya yi annabcinsa ya ce, “Maganar Bala’am ɗan Beyor, saƙon mutumin da idanunsa ke gani sarai,

4 An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God — Who a vision of the Almighty seeth, Falling — and eyes uncovered:

maganar mutumin da ya saurari maganar Allah, maganar wanda yake ganin wahayi daga Maɗaukaki, mutumin da ya fāɗi rubda ciki, wanda kuma idanunsa suna a buɗe.

5 How good have been thy tents, O Jacob, Thy tabernacles, O Israel;

“Ina misalin kyan tentunanka, ya Yaƙub, wuraren zamanka, ya Isra’ila!

6 As valleys they have been stretched out, As gardens by a river; As aloes Jehovah hath planted, As cedars by waters;

“Kamar kwaruruka suke a shimfiɗe, kamar lambu kusa da rafi, kamar itatuwan aloyes da Ubangiji ya dasa, kamar itatuwa al’ul kusa da ruwaye.

7 He maketh water flow from his buckets, And his seed [is] in many waters; And higher than Agag [is] his king, And exalted is his kingdom.

Ruwa zai kwararo daga bokitinsu; irinsu za su sami ruwa a yalwace. “Sarkinsu zai fi sarkin Agag; mulkinsu zai ɗaukaka.

8 God is bringing him out of Egypt; As the swiftness of a Reem is to him, He eateth up nations his adversaries, And their bones he breaketh, And [with] his arrows he smiteth,

“Allah ya fitar da su daga Masar; suna da ƙarfin kutunkun ɓauna. Sun cinye abokan gāban, suka kakkarya ƙasusuwansu; da kibiyoyinsu suka sossoke su.

9 He hath bent, he hath lain down as a lion, And as a lioness: who doth raise him up? He who is blessing thee [is] blessed, And he who is cursing thee [is] cursed.'

Kamar zaki sun laɓe sun kwanta, kamar zakanya, wa zai yi ƙarfin hali yă tashe su? “Bari waɗanda suka albarkace ka, su sami albarka waɗanda kuma suka la’anta ka, su la’antu!”

10 And the anger of Balak burneth against Balaam, and he striketh his hands; and Balak saith unto Balaam, 'To pierce mine enemies I called thee, and lo, thou hast certainly blessed — these three times;

Fushin Balak ya ƙuna a kan Bala’am. Ya tafa hannunsa, ya ce masa, “Na kira ka don ka la’anta abokan gābana, amma sai ga shi ka sa musu albarka har sau uku.

11 and now, flee for thyself unto thy place; I have said, I do greatly honour thee, and lo, Jehovah hath kept thee back from honour.'

Yanzu ka bar nan ka tafi gida! Na ce zan sāka maka da lada mai kyau, amma Ubangiji ya hana ka samun ladan.”

12 And Balaam saith unto Balak, 'Did I not also unto thy messengers whom thou hast sent unto me, speak, saying,

Bala’am ya ce wa Balak, “Ban faɗa wa’yan aikan da ka aiko wurina ba cewa,

13 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, to do good or evil of mine own heart — that which Jehovah speaketh — it I speak?

‘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, kuma dole in faɗa abin da Ubangiji ya ce ne kawai’?

14 and, now, lo, I am going to my people; come, I counsel thee [concerning] that which this people doth to thy people, in the latter end of the days.'

Yanzu zan koma wajen mutanena, amma bari in gargaɗe ka game da abin da mutanen nan za su yi wa mutanenka cikin kwanaki masu zuwa.”

15 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'An affirmation of Balaam son of Beor — And an affirmation of the man whose eyes [are] shut —

Sa’an nan ya furta saƙonsa. “Maganar Bala’am ɗan Beyor, saƙon mutumin da idanunsa ke gani sarai,

16 An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God — And knowing knowledge of the Most High; A vision of the Almighty he seeth, Falling — and eyes uncovered:

maganar mutumin da ya saurari maganar Allah, wanda yake da sani daga Mafi Ɗaukaka, wanda yake ganin wahayi daga Maɗaukaki, wanda ya fāɗi rubda ciki, wanda kuma idanunsa suna a buɗe.

17 I see it, but not now; I behold it, but not near; A star hath proceeded from Jacob, And a sceptre hath risen from Israel, And hath smitten corners of Moab, And hath destroyed all sons of Sheth.

“Na gan shi, amma ba yanzu ba; na hange shi, amma ba kusa ba. Tauraro zai fito daga Yaƙub; sandan mulki zai fito daga Isra’ila. Zai ragargaje goshin Mowab, kawunan dukan’ya’yan Set.

18 And Edom hath been a possession, And Seir hath been a possession, [for] its enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;

Za a ci Edom da yaƙi; za a ci Seyir, abokiyar gābanta, amma Isra’ila zai ƙara ƙarfi.

19 And [one] doth rule out of Jacob, And hath destroyed a remnant from Ar.'

Mai mulki zai fito daga Yaƙub yă hallaka waɗanda suka ragu a birnin.”

20 And he seeth Amalek, and taketh up his simile, and saith: 'A beginning of the Goyim [is] Amalek; And his latter end — for ever he perisheth.'

Sai Bala’am ya ga Amalek, ya kuma furta maganarsa. “Amalek yana cikin al’ummai na fari, amma zai zama na ƙarshen da za a hallaka.”

21 And he seeth the Kenite, and taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Enduring [is] thy dwelling, And setting in a rock thy nest,

Sai ya ga Keniyawa, ya kuma furta maganarsa. “Wurin zamanku lafiya yake, an kuma sa sheƙarku a cikin duwatsu;

22 But the Kenite is for a burning; Till when doth Asshur keep thee captive?'

duk da haka, za a hallaka ku Keniyawa sa’ad da Asshur ya kame ku.”

23 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Alas! who doth live when God doth this?

Sai ya furta maganarsa ya ce, “Wayyo, wa zai rayu sa’ad da Allah ya yi haka?

24 And — ships [are] from the side of Chittim, And they have humbled Asshur, And they have humbled Eber, And it also for ever is perishing.'

Jiragen ruwa za su zo daga Kittim; za su murƙushe Asshur da Eber, amma su ma za a hallaka su.”

25 And Balaam riseth, and goeth, and turneth back to his place, and Balak also hath gone on his way.

Sa’an nan Bala’am ya tashi ya koma gidan, Balak kuma ya yi tafiyarsa.
