1 Balaam gblɔ na Fia Balak be, “Tu vɔsamlekpui adre ɖe afi sia, eye nàdi nyitsuvi adre kple agbo adre na vɔsawo.”
Balaamu anati kwa Balaki, “Mundimangire maguwa ansembe asanu ndi awiri pano, ndipo mukonzenso ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri.”
2 Balak wɔ ɖe Balaam ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi, eye wòtsɔ nyitsuvi ɖeka kple agbo ɖeka sa vɔe ɖe vɔsamlekpuiawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi.
Balaki anachita monga Balaamu ananenera ndipo awiriwo anapereka ngʼombe imodzi ndi nkhosa yayimuna imodzi pa guwa lansembe lililonse.
3 Balaam gblɔ na Balak be, “Nɔ afi sia le wò numevɔsa gbɔ esime meɖe kpɔ. Ɖewohĩ Yehowa ava do gom. Nu sia nu si wòaɖe afiam la, magblɔe na wò.” Ale wòyi togbɛ ƒeƒle aɖe dzi.

4 Mawu do goe, eye Balaam gblɔ nɛ be, “Metu vɔsamlekpui adre, eye metsɔ nyitsu ɖeka kple agbo ɖeka sa vɔe ɖe vɔsamlekpui ɖe sia ɖe dzi.”
Mulungu anakumana naye ndipo Balaamu anati, “Ndakonza maguwa asanu ndi awiri ndipo pa guwa lililonse ndaperekapo nsembe ya ngʼombe yayimuna imodzi ndi nkhosa yayimuna imodzinso.”
5 Yehowa gblɔ nya aɖe na Balaam be wòagblɔ na Fia Balak.
Yehova anawuza Balaamu kuti, “Bwerera kwa Balaki ndipo ukamuwuze uthenga uwu.”
6 Esi Balaam trɔ gbɔ la, fia la kple Moab fiaviwo katã wonɔ tsitre ɖe numevɔsawo gbɔ.
Ndipo anabwerera kwa iye namupeza atayima pafupi ndi nsembe yake pamodzi ndi akuluakulu onse a Mowabu.
7 Nya siwo Balaam gblɔ la woe nye: “Fia Balak, Moabtɔwo ƒe fia, kplɔm tso Aramnyigba dzi, tso ɣedzeƒetowo dzi hegblɔ nam be. ‘Va, nàƒo fi ade Yakob nam! Eye va nàdo ɖiŋu na Israel nam. Wò dɔmedzoe nabi ɖe Israel ŋu.’
Ndipo Balaamu ananena uthenga wake: “Balaki ananditenga kuchoka ku Aramu, mfumu ya ku Mowabu kuchokera ku mapiri a kummawa. Iye anati, ‘Bwera, temberera Yakobo mʼmalo mwanga, pita nyoza Israeli.’
8 Ke ame siwo Mawu meƒo fi de o la, aleke nye ya maƒo fi ade woe? Ame siwo gbɔ Yehowa megbe nu le o la, aleke nye ya magbe nu le wo gbɔe?
Ndingatemberere bwanji amene Mulungu sanawatemberere? Ndinganyoze bwanji amene Yehova sanawanyoze?
9 Mele wo kpɔm tso agakpe tame. Melé ŋku ɖe wo ŋu tso togbɛwo dzi, wole wo ɖokui si, nye dukɔ tɔxɛ aɖe. Si mebua eɖokui kple dukɔ bubuwo o.
Kuchokera pamwamba pa mapiri ndikuona anthu, ndikuwaona kuchokera pa zitunda. Ndikuona anthu okhala pawokha, osakhala mʼgulu limodzi ndi mitundu ina.
10 Ame ka ate ŋu axlẽ Yakob ƒe ʋuʋudedi, alo axlẽ Israel ƒe akpa enelia? Na maku ame dzɔdzɔe ƒe ku, eye nye nuwuwu nanɔ abe wo tɔ ene!”
Ndani angawerenge zidzukulu za Yakobo zochuluka ngati fumbi, kapena chimodzi mwa zigawo zinayi za Israeli? Lekeni ndife imfa ya oyera mtima, ndi chimaliziro changa chikhale ngati chawo!”
11 Fia Balak bia Balaam be, “Ao! Nu kae nye esi nèwɔm? Mebe nàƒo fi ade nye futɔwo nam, ke kpɔ ɖa, èyra wo boŋ!”
Balaki anati kwa Balaamu, “Wandichitira chiyani? Ndinakuyitana kuti utemberere adani anga, ndipo taona, sunachite chilichonse koma kuwadalitsa!”
12 Balaam ɖo eŋu be, “Ɖe mate ŋu agblɔ nya aɖe ne Yehowa megblɔe nam be magblɔ oa?”
Iye anayankha kuti, “Kodi sindinayenera kuyankhula zimene Yehova anandiwuza?”
13 Balak gblɔ nɛ be, “Va míyi teƒe bubu. Le afi ma la, àkpɔ Israel dukɔ la ƒe akpa aɖe ko. Ƒo fi de ame mawo ɖeɖe ko nam!”
Kenaka Balaki anawuza Balaamu kuti, “Tiye tipite limodzi ku malo ena komwe ungawaone. Udzangoona gulu limodzi osati onsewo. Ndipo pamenepo, ukawatemberere mʼmalo mwanga.”
14 Ale Fia Balak kplɔ Balaam yi Zofim gbedzi le Pisga to la tame. Etu vɔsamlekpui adre ɖe afi ma, eye wòtsɔ nyitsuvi ɖeka kple agbo ɖeka sa vɔe ɖe vɔsamlekpuiawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi.
Tsono anamutengera ku munda wa Zofimu pamwamba pa phiri la Pisiga ndipo kumeneko anamanga maguwa ansembe asanu ndi awiri ndipo anapereka nsembe ngʼombe yayimuna imodzi ndi nkhosa yayimuna imodzi pa guwa lansembe lililonse.
15 Balaam gblɔ na Balak be, “Tsi tsitre ɖe afi sia, ɖe wò numevɔsa la gbɔ ne mayi aɖado go Yehowa.”
Balaamu anawuza Balaki kuti, “Khalani pano pafupi ndi nsembe yanu pamene ine ndikukakumana ndi Mulungu cha uko.”
16 Yehowa do go Balaam, eye wòde nya asi nɛ be, “Trɔ yi Balak gbɔ nàgblɔ nya sia nɛ.”
Yehova anakumana ndi Balaamu ndipo anamuyankhula kuti, “Bwerera kwa Balaki ndipo ukamuwuze uthenga uwu.”
17 Balaam trɔ va afi si Moab fia kple Moab fiaviŋutsuwo le tsitre ɖe woƒe numevɔsawo gbɔ le. Balak bia enumake be, “Nya ka Yehowa gblɔ?”
Ndipo anapita kwa iye ndipo anamupeza atayimirira pafupi ndi nsembe yake pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a ku Mowabu. Balaki anafunsa Balaamu kuti, “Yehova wayankhula chiyani?”
18 Balaam ɖo eŋu be, “Balak, Tsi tsitre eye nàsee: Ɖo tom, wò Zipɔr ƒe vi.
Pamenepo Balaamu ananena uthenga wake: “Nyamuka Balaki ndipo tamvera; Undimvere iwe mwana wa Zipori.
19 Mawu menye amegbetɔ, aka aʋatso o. Metrɔa eƒe tameɖoɖo. Abe amegbetɔwo ene o. Ɖe wòdo ŋugbe kpɔ gbe edziwɔwɔa?
Mulungu si munthu kuti aname, kapena mwana wa munthu kuti asinthe maganizo ake. Kodi amayankhula koma osachita? Kodi amalonjeza koma osakwaniritsa?
20 Kpɔ ɖa, Mawu ɖe gbe nam be mayra Israelviwo. Mawu ŋutɔ yra wo xoxo, nyemate ŋu aklo yayra sia ɖa o!
Wandilamula kuti ndidalitse, Iyeyo wadalitsa ndipo sindingasinthe.
21 “Mekpɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yakob me o: mawɔ funyafunya Israel o! Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la li kpli wo. Eye dzidzɔɣli le wo nu, eyae nye woƒe fia!
“Palibe kuwukira kulikonse kumene wakuona mwa Yakobo, sanaone chovuta mu Israeli. Yehova Mulungu wawo ali nawo: mfuwu wa mfumu uli pakati pawo.
22 Mawu kplɔ wo tso Egipte; Israel sẽ abe to ene. Fiƒode aɖeke mate ŋu anɔ Yakob dzi o,

Palibe matsenga amene angalimbane ndi Yakobo, palibe mawula amene angalimbane ndi Israeli. Tsopano za Yakobo ndi Israeli adzanena kuti, ‘Onani zimene Mulungu wachita!’
24 Ame siawo tsi tsitre abe dzatanɔ ene; womamlɔ anyi o. Va se ɖe esime woaɖu nu si wolé. Eye woano nu si wolé la ƒe ʋu!’”
Taonani, anthu anyamuka ngati mkango waukazi; adzuka okha ngati mkango waumuna umene supuma mpaka utadya nyama imene wagwira ndi kumwa magazi a nyama yogwidwayo.”
25 Balak blu ɖe Balaam ta be, “Ne mànya ƒo fi ade wo o ko la, ekema mègayra wo hã o!”
Ndipo Balaki anati kwa Balaamu, “Usawatemberere ndi pangʼono pomwe kapena kuwadalitsa!
26 Balaam ɖo eŋu be, “Ɖe nyemegblɔe na wò be nya sia nya si Yehowa agblɔ nam be magblɔ la ko wòle be magblɔ oa?”
“Balaamu anayankha Balaki kuti, ‘Kodi sindinakuwuzeni kuti ndiyenera kuchita zimene Yehova wanena?’”
27 Balak gagblɔ na Balaam le eƒe nyagblɔɖi etɔ̃lia ŋu be, “Makplɔ wò agayi teƒe bubu aɖee. Ɖewohĩ adze Mawu ŋu be wòana nàƒo fi ade wo tso afi ma azɔ.”
Kenaka Balaki anati kwa Balaamu, “Bwera ndikutengere ku malo ena. Mwina chidzamukondweretsa Mulungu kuti uwatemberere kumeneko mʼmalo mwanga.”
28 Ale Fia Balak kplɔ Balaam yi Peor to la dzi le gbegbe la tame.
Ndipo Balaki anamutengera Balaamu pamwamba pa Peori, poyangʼanana ndi chipululu.
29 Balaam gagblɔ na Balak be wòatu vɔsamlekpui adre, eye wòatsɔ nyitsuvi adre kple agbo adre asa vɔe.
Balaamu anati kwa Balaki, “Mundimangire maguwa ansembe asanu ndi awiri pano ndipo mundikonzere ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri, nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri.”
30 Balak wɔ nu si Balaam ɖo nɛ la, eye wòtsɔ nyitsuvi ɖeka kple agbo ɖeka sa vɔe ɖe vɔsamlekpuiawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi.
