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.
When Balaam saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless Israel, he did not go, as at the other times, to use sorcery. Instead, he looked toward the wilderness.
2 Da Bala’am ya duba sai ya ga Isra’ila sun yi sansani kabila, kabila, Ruhun Allah kuwa ya sauko masa,
He raised his eyes and saw that Israel was camped, each in their own tribe, 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,
He received this prophecy and said, “Balaam son of Beor is about to speak, the man whose eyes are wide 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 speaks and hears God's words. He sees a vision from the Almighty, Before whom he bows down with his eyes open.
5 “Ina misalin kyan tentunanka, ya Yaƙub, wuraren zamanka, ya Isra’ila!
How beautiful are your tents, Jacob, the place where you live, 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.
Like valleys they spread out, like gardens by the riverside, like aloes planted by Yahweh, like cedars beside the waters.
7 Ruwa zai kwararo daga bokitinsu; irinsu za su sami ruwa a yalwace. “Sarkinsu zai fi sarkin Agag; mulkinsu zai ɗaukaka.
Water flows from their buckets, and their seed is well-watered. Their king is to be higher than Agag, and their kingdom will be honored.
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.
God brings him out of Egypt, with strength like a wild ox. He will eat up the nations who fight against him. He will break their bones to pieces. He will shoot them 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 crouches down like a lion, like a lioness. Who dares disturb him? May everyone who blesses him be blessed; may everyone who curses him be 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.
Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam and he struck his hands together in anger. Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, but look, you have blessed them three times.
11 Yanzu ka bar nan ka tafi gida! Na ce zan sāka maka da lada mai kyau, amma Ubangiji ya hana ka samun ladan.”
So leave me right now and go home. I said I would greatly reward you, but Yahweh has kept you from getting any reward.”
12 Bala’am ya ce wa Balak, “Ban faɗa wa’yan aikan da ka aiko wurina ba cewa,
Then Balaam replied to Balak, “I said to the messengers that 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 palace full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond Yahweh's word and anything bad or good, or anything at all that I might want to do. I can say only what Yahweh tells me to say.' Did I not say this to them?
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, look, I will go back to my people. But first let me warn you what this people will do to your people in the days ahead.”
15 Sa’an nan ya furta saƙonsa. “Maganar Bala’am ɗan Beyor, saƙon mutumin da idanunsa ke gani sarai,
Balaam began this prophecy. He said, “Balaam son of Beor speaks, The man whose eyes are wide 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.
This is a prophecy of someone who hears words from God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who has visions from the Almighty, Before whom he bows down with open eyes.
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 he is not here now. I look at him, but he is not near. A star will come out of Jacob, and a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will shatter Moab's leaders and destroy all the descendants of Seth.
18 Za a ci Edom da yaƙi; za a ci Seyir, abokiyar gābanta, amma Isra’ila zai ƙara ƙarfi.
Then Edom will become a possession of Israel, and Seir will also become their possession, enemies of Israel, whom Israel will conquer with force.
19 Mai mulki zai fito daga Yaƙub yă hallaka waɗanda suka ragu a birnin.”
Out of Jacob a king will come who will have dominion, and he will destroy the survivors of their city.”
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 Balaam looked at Amalek and began his prophecy. He said, “Amalek was once the greatest of nations, but his final end will be destruction.”
21 Sai ya ga Keniyawa, ya kuma furta maganarsa. “Wurin zamanku lafiya yake, an kuma sa sheƙarku a cikin duwatsu;
Then Balaam looked toward the Kenites and began his prophecy. He said, “The place where you live is strong, and your nest is in the rocks.
22 duk da haka, za a hallaka ku Keniyawa sa’ad da Asshur ya kame ku.”
Nevertheless you Kenites will be consumed by fire when Assyria carries you away captive.”
23 Sai ya furta maganarsa ya ce, “Wayyo, wa zai rayu sa’ad da Allah ya yi haka?
Then Balaam began his final prophecy. He said, “Woe! Who will survive 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.”
Ships will come from the coast of Kittim; they will attack Assyria and will conquer Eber, but they, too, will end in destruction.”
25 Sa’an nan Bala’am ya tashi ya koma gidan, Balak kuma ya yi tafiyarsa.
Then Balaam got up and left. He returned to his home, and Balak also went away.
