1 Israelviwo zɔ mɔ azɔ yi Moab tagba, eye woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo le Yeriko kasa.
Afei, Israelfo no kɔɔ Moab tataw so kɔtenaa Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam a ɛhɔ ne Yeriko di nhwɛanim no.
2 Azɔ la, Balak, Zipɔr ƒe viŋutsu kpɔ nu si Israelviwo wɔ Amoritɔwo,
Sipor babarima Balak huu nea Israelfo ayɛ Amorifo no nyinaa,
3 eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo Moab, elabena ameawo sɔ gbɔ ŋutɔ. Nyateƒe, dzidzi ƒo Moab le Israelviwo ŋu.
na Moab huu Israelfo dodow a wɔwɔ hɔ no, ɔne ne nkurɔfo bɔɔ huboa.
4 Wowɔ takpekpe kple Midiantɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo enumake. Wogblɔ be, “Ameha gã sia aɖu mí abe ale si nyitsu ɖua gbe ene.” Ale Balak, Zipɔr ƒe vi, ame si nye Moab fia ɣe ma ɣi la,
Moabfo no ka kyerɛɛ Midian mpanyimfo no se, “Saa dɔm yi bɛwe biribiara a ɛwɔ ha no, sɛnea nantwi we sare.” Enti Sipor ba Balak a na ɔyɛ Moabhene saa bere no
5 ɖo amewo ɖa be woayɔ Balaam, Beor ƒe viŋutsu, ame si nɔ Petor, afi si te ɖe tɔsisi la ŋu vɛ. Balak gblɔ be, “Dukɔ aɖe tso Egipte; wotsyɔ anyigba ŋkume, eye wole teƒe aɖe si te ɖe ŋunye.
somaa nnipa ma wɔkɔɔ Beor babarima Balaam nkyɛn wɔ Petor a ɛbɛn Asubɔnten Eufrate ho. Balak kae se, “Nnipadɔm bi fi Misraim aba. Wɔkata asase ani nyinaa na wɔabɛtena abɛn me.
6 Azɔ la, va nàƒo fi ade ame siawo, elabena wosẽ akpa na mí. Ekema, ɖewohĩ, mate ŋu aɖu wo dzi, eye manya wo dzoe le anyigba la dzi. Elabena menya be ame siwo nèyrana la kpɔa yayra, eye ame siwo nèƒoa fi dena la kpɔa fiƒode.”
Mɛsrɛ wo, bra na bɛdome wɔn ma me, efisɛ wɔyɛ den sen me. Ebia ɛbɛma matumi adi wɔn so nkonim na mapam wɔn afi asase no so. Efisɛ minim nhyira a ɛba wɔn a wuhyira wɔn no so, na minim mmusu a ɛba wɔn a wodome wɔn no so nso.”
7 Ame siwo wòdɔ ɖo ɖe Balaam gbɔ la woe nye, Moabtɔwo kple Midiantɔwo ƒe ametsitsiwo. Wotsɔ ga ɖe asi yi na Balaam, eye woɖe nu si Balak di be wòawɔ na ye la me nɛ nyuie.
Moab ne Midian mpanyimfo no fii hɔ a na wokita sika a wɔde rekotua Balaam ka ama wadome Israelfo no. Enti wɔkɔɔ Balaam nkyɛn kɔkaa nea ehia Balak no kyerɛɛ no.
8 Balaam gblɔ na wo be, “Mitsi afi sia dɔ. Etsɔ ŋdi la, magblɔ nu sia nu si Yehowa agblɔ nam be magblɔ la na mi.” Ale wotsi afi ma dɔ.
Balaam kae se, “Monna mma ade nkye mo. Ade kye a, nea Awurade bɛkyerɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, mɛka akyerɛ mo.” Enti Moab mpanyimfo no dae.
9 Le zã me la, Mawu va Balaam gbɔ, eye wòbiae be, “Ame kawoe nye ame siawo?”
Anadwo no, Onyankopɔn baa Balaam nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Saa nnipa yi yɛ hefo?”
10 Balaam ɖo eŋu na Mawu be, “Wotso Balak, Moab fia gbɔ.
Obuae se, “Wɔde nkra afi Moabhene Balak nkyɛn abrɛ me se:
11 Fia la gblɔ be, ameha gã aɖe tso Egipte va ɖo yeƒe anyigba ƒe liƒo dzi, eye wòdi be mayi enumake aɖaƒo fi ade wo na ye, ale be yeate ŋu awɔ aʋa kpli wo, aɖu wo dzi.”
Nnipadɔm bi fi Misraim aba ne hye so. Enti bra na bɛdome wɔn sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a metumi ne wɔn ako apam wɔn.”
12 Mawu gblɔ na Balaam be, “Mègayi ɖaƒo fi de wo o, elabena meyra wo xoxo!”
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Balaam se, “Nkɔ. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wodome wɔn, efisɛ mahyira wɔn!”
13 Esi ŋu ke la, Balaam gblɔ na Balak ƒe ameawo be, “Mitrɔ dzo! Yehowa meɖe mɔ nam be mawɔ nu si miaƒe fia di be mawɔ o.”
Ade kyee anɔpa no, Balaam ka kyerɛɛ Balak nkurɔfo no se, “Monsan nkɔ fie! Awurade ampene sɛ me ne mo nkɔ.”
14 Ale Fia Balak ƒe ame dɔdɔwo trɔ dzo, Balaam medze wo yome o.
Enti Balak mpanyimfo no san bɛbɔɔ amanneɛ se, “Balaam ne yɛn amma.”
15 Esi woka nya la ta na Balak la, egadɔ amewo ɖe Balaam. Eƒe ame dɔdɔwo sɔ gbɔ azɔ, eye wonye ame ŋkutawo wu ame dɔdɔ gbãtɔwo.
Balak somaa nnipa dodow pa ara a anuonyamfo a wɔkyɛn kan dɔm no fra wɔn mu.
16 Woyi Balaam gbɔ, eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Esiae nye nya si Balak, Zipɔr ƒe viŋutsu gblɔ, ‘Mègana naneke naxe mɔ na wò be màva gbɔnye o,
Wɔbaa Balaam nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛnea Sipor ba Balak se ni, ‘Mma biribiara nsiw wo kwan sɛ wobɛba me nkyɛn,
17 elabena maxe fe na wò nyuie, eye mawɔ nu sia nu si nàgblɔ nam be mawɔ. Va, nàƒo fi ade ame siawo nam.’”
efisɛ metua wo ka yiye. Bra na bɛdome saa nnipa no ma me.’”
18 Ke Balaam ɖo eŋu be, “Ne Balak tsɔ fiasã si klosalo kple sika yɔ gɔ̃ hã anam la, nyemate ŋu awɔ naneke si atsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa, nye Mawu ƒe gbeɖeɖe ŋu o.
Nanso, Balaam buae se, “Sɛ Balak ma me dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛwɔ nʼahemfi hɔ nyinaa mpo a, merentumi nyɛ biribiara mmu saa ahyɛde a Awurade a ɔyɛ me Nyankopɔn no ahyɛ no so.
19 Mitsi afi sia dɔ ale be makpɔe ɖa be Yehowa agatsɔ nane akpe ɖe nya si wògblɔ nam zi gbãtɔ la ŋu mahã.”
Nanso, monna ha mma ade nkye na yɛnhwɛ sɛ Awurade bɛka asɛm foforo bi aka nea waka dedaw no ho anaa.”
20 Le zã me la, Mawu gblɔ na Balaam be, “Fɔ, nàyi kple ame siawo, ke kpɔ nyuie be, nàgblɔ nu si magblɔ na wò be nàgblɔ la ko.”
Anadwo no, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Balaam se, “Esiane sɛ nnipa no abɛfrɛ wo no nti, Sɔre na wo ne saa nnipa no nkɔ na mmom, hwɛ yiye na yɛ nea mɛkyerɛ wo sɛ yɛ no nko ara.”
21 Ale le ŋdi la, Balaam lia eƒe tedzi dzi, eye wòdze ameawo yome.
Ade kyee anɔpa no, ɔhyehyɛɛ nʼafurum, tenaa ne so ne Moab mpanyimfo no sii mu.
22 Ke Mawu do dɔmedzoe ŋutɔ esi Balaam yina, eye Yehowa ƒe dɔla tsi tsitre ɖe mɔa dzi be yeatsi tsitre ɖe eŋu. Ke Balaam nɔ eƒe tedzi dzi, eye eƒe subɔla eve nɔ eŋu.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn bo fuw Balaam ahopere a ɔde kɔe no; enti ɔsomaa Awurade bɔfo ma ogyinaa akwantemfi sɛ onsiw no kwan. Na Balaam te nʼafurum so a nʼasomfo baanu ka ne ho.
23 Esi tedzi la kpɔ Yehowa ƒe dɔla wòtsi tsitre ɖe mɔa dzi, eye yi le esi la, edzo le mɔa dzi yi gbe me. Balaam ƒoe be wòatrɔ ayi mɔ la dzi.
Afurum no huu Awurade bɔfo no sɛ okura afoa gyina kwan no mfimfini no, ɔman faa wuram. Balaam hwee no sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛfa ɔkwan no so.
24 Azɔ la, mawudɔla la tsi tsitre ɖe afi si mɔ la to waingble eve ƒe glikpɔwo dome le.
Na Awurade ɔbɔfo no gyina ɔkwan hiahiaa bi a ɛwɔ bobeturo afasu abien ntam.
25 Esi tedzi la kpɔe wònɔ tsitre ɖe afi ma la, edze nɛ to glikpɔ ɖeka ŋu tututu, eye wòna Balaam ƒe afɔwo lili ɖe glikpɔ la ŋu. Ale Balaam gaƒoe.
Bere a afurum no huu Awurade bɔfo no, otwerii ɔfasu no ho maa Balaam nan pemee. Enti Balaam san hwee aboa no.
26 Mawudɔla la gayi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe teƒe aɖe, afi si mɔa xaxa le ale gbegbe be tedzi la magate ŋu ato exa kura o.
Afei, Awurade bɔfo no kɔɔ nʼanim kogyinaa baabi a ɛhɔ kyere pa ara a na afurum no nnya baabi nnan ne ho mfa nifa anaa benkum.
27 Ale tedzi la tsyɔ akɔ anyi ɖe mɔ la dzi. Balaam do dɔmedzoe vevie, eye wòƒo tedzi la kple eƒe atikplɔ.
Enti obutuw ɔkwan no mu. Balaam bo fuw yiye ma ɔde abaa no hwee no.
28 Tete Yehowa na be tedzi la nate ŋu aƒo nu. Tedzi la bia Balaam be, “Nu ka mewɔ si na be nàƒom zi etɔ̃?”
Afei, Awurade buee afurum no ano, na obisaa Balaam se, “Mayɛ wo dɛn na nti a wohwe me mprɛnsa saa?”
29 Balaam do ɣli ɖe tedzi la ta be, “Elabena èdo lãm! Ɖe yi aɖe anɔ asinye hafi; anye ne mawu wò.”
Balaam nso buaa no se, “Woama mayɛ ɔkwasea! Na sɛ mikura afoa a, anka mekum wo mprempren.”
30 Tedzi la gabiae be, “Ɖe mewɔ nu sia tɔgbi aɖe kpɔ le nye agbenɔnɔ blibo mea?” Balaam ɖo eŋu be, “Ao.”
Afurum no nso bisaa no se, “Menyɛ wʼafurum a woatena me so daa de abesi nnɛ? So mayɛ sɛɛ pɛn?” Obuae se, “Dabi.”
31 Tete Yehowa ʋu Balaam ƒe ŋkuwo. Ekpɔ mawudɔla la wòtsi tsitre ɖe mɔa dzi, eye wòlé yi ɖe asi. Enumake Balaam mlɔ anyigba le mawudɔla la ŋkume.
Afei, Awurade buee Balaam ani ma ohuu ɔsoro bɔfo no sɛ watwe afoa gyina ɔkwan no mfimfini. Enti ɔde nʼanim butuw fam.
32 Mawudɔla la bia Balaam be, “Nu ka ta nèƒo wò tedzi la zi etɔ̃? Meva be mana màgawɔ nu si nèdi be yeawɔ o, elabena èɖo ta tsɔtsrɔ̃ me.
Awurade bɔfo no bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na woahwe wʼafurum no mprɛnsa saa? Maba sɛ merebesiw wo kwan, efisɛ wʼakwan mu no wunni ahwɛyie wɔ mʼanim.
33 Wò tedzi la kpɔm zi etɔ̃, eye wòte ɖa le gbɔnye zi etɔ̃. Ne menye ɖe wòdze nam o la, anye ne mewu wò xoxo, ke mana eya natsi agbe.”
Afurum no huu me a ɔman faa nkyɛn mprɛnsa. Sɛ wamman a, anka mekum wo na magyaa no.”
34 Balaam ʋu eme na mawudɔla la be, “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃. Nyemenya be ènɔ afi ma o. Ne mèdi be magayi nye mɔzɔzɔ la dzi o la, matrɔ ayi aƒe.”
Balaam ka kyerɛɛ Awurade bɔfo no se, “Mafom. Na minnim sɛ wugyina ɔkwan no mu a worebesiw me kwan. Sɛ wʼani nnye ho a mɛsan akɔ.”
35 Mawudɔla la gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi kple ameawo, gake nàgblɔ nu si meɖo na wò be nàgblɔ la ko.” Ale Balaam yi kple Balak ƒe ameawo.
Awurade bɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo ne nnipa no nkɔ, nanso asɛm a mɛka akyerɛ wo no nko ara na ka.” Enti Balaam ne Balak mpanyimfo no kɔe.
36 Esi Fia Balak se be Balaam gbɔna la, edzo le eƒe fiadu la me, eye wòyi be yeakpee le Arnon tɔsisi la gbɔ le eƒe anyigba ƒe liƒo dzi.
Bere a Balak tee sɛ Balaam reba no, ofii kurow no mu kohyiaa no wɔ Moabfo kurow mu wɔ Arnon hye so, wɔ nʼasase ano.
37 Balak bia Balaam be, “Nu ka ta nètsi anyi wòdidi alea hafi nèva ɖo? Medo ŋugbe na wò be made bubu gã ŋuwò. Ɖe mèxɔe se oa?”
Balak bisaa Balaam se, “Mamfrɛ wo ɔhare so ana? Adɛn nti na woamma me nkyɛn? So merentumi ntua wo ka ana?”
38 Balaam ɖo eŋu na Balak be, “Meva, gake ŋusẽ mele asinye be magblɔ nya aɖeke o, negbe esi Mawu ɖo nam be magblɔ la ko, eye eya koe nye nya si magblɔ.”
Balaam buae se, “Ɛwɔ mu sɛ maba de, nanso merentumi nka nea mepɛ biara. Asɛm a Onyankopɔn de bɛhyɛ mʼano no nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ meka.”
39 Balaam kple Balak dze fia la yome yi Kiriat Huzot.
Balaam kaa Balak ho ne no kɔɔ Kiria-Husot.
40 Fia Balak tsɔ nyitsuwo kple alẽwo sa vɔe le afi ma, eye wòtsɔ lãwo na ame dɔdɔwo kple Balaam hena woawo hã ƒe vɔsawo.
Balak kum anantwi ne nguan bɔɔ afɔre na ɔde mmoa no bi maa Balaam ne ne mpanyimfo a wɔka ne ho.
41 Esi ŋu ke ŋdi la, Fia Balak kplɔ Balaam yi Bamɔt Baal to la dzi, afi si Balaam ate ŋu akpɔ Israelviwo wogbagba ɖe anyigba la me le eŋkume le.
Ade kyee anɔpa no, Balak faa Balaam de no kɔɔ Bamot-Baal atifi. Ofi hɔ too nʼani huu sɛ Israelfo no sam wɔn atenae hɔ.
