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.
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;
2 Da Bala’am ya duba sai ya ga Isra’ila sun yi sansani kabila, kabila, Ruhun Allah kuwa ya sauko masa,
and Balaam lifteth up his eyes, and seeth Israel tabernacling, by its tribes, and the Spirit of God is upon him,
3 sai ya yi annabcinsa ya ce, “Maganar Bala’am ɗan Beyor, saƙon mutumin da idanunsa ke gani sarai,
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 —
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.
An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God — Who a vision of the Almighty seeth, Falling — and eyes uncovered:
5 “Ina misalin kyan tentunanka, ya Yaƙub, wuraren zamanka, ya Isra’ila!
How good have been thy tents, O Jacob, Thy tabernacles, 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.
As valleys they have been stretched out, As gardens by a river; As aloes Jehovah hath planted, As cedars by waters;
7 Ruwa zai kwararo daga bokitinsu; irinsu za su sami ruwa a yalwace. “Sarkinsu zai fi sarkin Agag; mulkinsu zai ɗaukaka.
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.
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 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,
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 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.'
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.
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;
11 Yanzu ka bar nan ka tafi gida! Na ce zan sāka maka da lada mai kyau, amma Ubangiji ya hana ka samun ladan.”
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.'
12 Bala’am ya ce wa Balak, “Ban faɗa wa’yan aikan da ka aiko wurina ba cewa,
And Balaam saith unto Balak, 'Did I not also unto thy messengers whom thou hast sent unto me, speak, saying,
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’?
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?
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.”
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.'
15 Sa’an nan ya furta saƙonsa. “Maganar Bala’am ɗan Beyor, saƙon mutumin da idanunsa ke gani sarai,
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 —
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.
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:
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 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.
18 Za a ci Edom da yaƙi; za a ci Seyir, abokiyar gābanta, amma Isra’ila zai ƙara ƙarfi.
And Edom hath been a possession, And Seir hath been a possession, [for] its enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;
19 Mai mulki zai fito daga Yaƙub yă hallaka waɗanda suka ragu a birnin.”
And [one] doth rule out of Jacob, And hath destroyed a remnant from Ar.'
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.”
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.'
21 Sai ya ga Keniyawa, ya kuma furta maganarsa. “Wurin zamanku lafiya yake, an kuma sa sheƙarku a cikin duwatsu;
And he seeth the Kenite, and taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Enduring [is] thy dwelling, And setting in a rock thy nest,
22 duk da haka, za a hallaka ku Keniyawa sa’ad da Asshur ya kame ku.”
But the Kenite is for a burning; Till when doth Asshur keep thee captive?'
23 Sai ya furta maganarsa ya ce, “Wayyo, wa zai rayu sa’ad da Allah ya yi haka?
And he taketh up his simile, and saith: 'Alas! who doth live when God doth this?
24 Jiragen ruwa za su zo daga Kittim; za su murƙushe Asshur da Eber, amma su ma za a hallaka su.”
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.'
25 Sa’an nan Bala’am ya tashi ya koma gidan, Balak kuma ya yi tafiyarsa.
And Balaam riseth, and goeth, and turneth back to his place, and Balak also hath gone on his way.
