Ƙidaya 24
1 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.
Now when Balaam saw that it was the Lord's pleasure to give his blessing to Israel, he did not, as at other times, make use of secret arts, but turning his face to the waste land,
2 Da Bala’am ya duba sai ya ga Isra’ila sun yi sansani kabila, kabila, Ruhun Allah kuwa ya sauko masa,
And lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel there, with their tents in the order of their tribes: and the spirit of God came on him.
3 sai ya yi annabcinsa ya ce, “Maganar Bala’am ɗan Beyor, saƙon mutumin da idanunsa ke gani sarai,
And moved by the spirit, he said, These are the words of Balaam, son of Beor, the words of the man whose eyes are open:
4 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.
He says, whose ears are open to the words of God, who has seen the vision of the Ruler of all, falling down, but having his eyes open:
5 “Ina misalin kyan tentunanka, ya Yaƙub, wuraren zamanka, ya Isra’ila!
How fair are your tents, O Jacob, your houses, O Israel!
6 “Kamar kwaruruka suke a shimfiɗe, kamar lambu kusa da rafi, kamar itatuwan aloyes da Ubangiji ya dasa, kamar itatuwa al’ul kusa da ruwaye.
They are stretched out like valleys, like gardens by the riverside, like flowering trees planted by the Lord, like cedar-trees by the waters.
7 Ruwa zai kwararo daga bokitinsu; irinsu za su sami ruwa a yalwace. “Sarkinsu zai fi sarkin Agag; mulkinsu zai ɗaukaka.
Peoples will be in fear before his strength, his arm will be on great nations: his king will be higher than Agag, and his kingdom made great in honour.
8 “Allah ya fitar da su daga Masar; suna da ƙarfin kutunkun ɓauna. Sun cinye abokan gāban, suka kakkarya ƙasusuwansu; da kibiyoyinsu suka sossoke su.
It is God who has taken him out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox; the nations warring against him will be his food, their bones will be broken, they will be wounded with his arrows.
9 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!”
He took his sleep stretched out like a lion, and like a she-lion: by whom will his rest be broken? May a blessing be on everyone who gives you blessing, and a curse on everyone by whom you are cursed.
10 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.
Then Balak was full of wrath against Balaam, and angrily waving his hands he said to Balaam, I sent for you so that those who are against me might be cursed, but now, see, three times you have given them a blessing.
11 Yanzu ka bar nan ka tafi gida! Na ce zan sāka maka da lada mai kyau, amma Ubangiji ya hana ka samun ladan.”
Go back quickly to the place you came from: it was my purpose to give you a place of honour, but now the Lord has kept you back from honour.
12 Bala’am ya ce wa Balak, “Ban faɗa wa’yan aikan da ka aiko wurina ba cewa,
Then Balaam said to Balak, Did I not say to the men you sent to me,
13 ‘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’?
Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to go outside the orders of the Lord, doing good or evil at the impulse of my mind; whatever the Lord says I will say?
14 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.”
So now I will go back to my people: but first let me make clear to you what this people will do to your people in days to come.
15 Sa’an nan ya furta saƙonsa. “Maganar Bala’am ɗan Beyor, saƙon mutumin da idanunsa ke gani sarai,
Then he went on with his story and said, These are the words of Balaam, the son of Beor, the words of him whose eyes are open:
16 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.
He says, whose ear is open to the words of God, who has knowledge of the Most High, who has seen the vision of the Ruler of all, falling down and having his eyes open:
17 “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.
I see him, but not now: looking on him, but not near: a star will come out of Jacob, and a rod of authority out of Israel, sending destruction to the farthest limits of Moab and on the head of all the sons of Sheth.
18 Za a ci Edom da yaƙi; za a ci Seyir, abokiyar gābanta, amma Isra’ila zai ƙara ƙarfi.
Edom will be his heritage, and he will put an end to the last of the people of Seir.
19 Mai mulki zai fito daga Yaƙub yă hallaka waɗanda suka ragu a birnin.”
And Israel will go on in strength, and Jacob will have rule over his haters.
20 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.”
Then, turning his eyes to Amalek, he went on with his story and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, but his part will be destruction for ever.
21 Sai ya ga Keniyawa, ya kuma furta maganarsa. “Wurin zamanku lafiya yake, an kuma sa sheƙarku a cikin duwatsu;
And looking on the Kenites he went on with his story and said, Strong is your living-place, and your secret place is safe in the rock.
22 duk da haka, za a hallaka ku Keniyawa sa’ad da Asshur ya kame ku.”
But still the Kenites will be wasted, till Asshur takes you away prisoner.
23 Sai ya furta maganarsa ya ce, “Wayyo, wa zai rayu sa’ad da Allah ya yi haka?
Then he went on with his story and said, But who may keep his life when God does this?
24 Jiragen ruwa za su zo daga Kittim; za su murƙushe Asshur da Eber, amma su ma za a hallaka su.”
But ships will come from the direction of Kittim, troubling Asshur and troubling Eber, and like the others their fate will be destruction.
25 Sa’an nan Bala’am ya tashi ya koma gidan, Balak kuma ya yi tafiyarsa.
Then Balaam got up and went back to his place: and Balak went away.
