< Na Helu 22 >
1 HELE aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a hoomoana iho la ma na papu o Moaba, ma keia aoao o Ioredane e ku pono ana i Ieriko.
Ipapo vaIsraeri vakafamba vachienda kumapani eMoabhu vakadzika misasa yavo vakatevedza Jorodhani nechemhiri kweJeriko.
2 A ike aku la o Balaka ke keiki a Zipora i ka mea a pau a ka Iseraela i hana aku ai i ka Amora.
Zvino Bharaki mwanakomana waZipori akaona zvose zvakanga zvaitwa navaIsraeri kuvaAmori,
3 Makau loa iho la o Moaba i ua poe kanaka la, no ka mea, he lehulehu lakou: a ua pilikia o Moaba no na mamo a Iseraela.
Moabhu akatya nokuti pakanga pane vanhu vazhinji. Zvirokwazvo, Moabhu yakazara nokudedera nokuda kwavaIsraeri.
4 Olelo aku la o Moaba i na lunakahiko o Midiana, E pau auanei na mea a pau o kakou i ka paluia e keia poe kanaka, e like me ka palu ana o ka bipi i ka weuweu o ke kula. A o Balaka ke keiki a Zipora ke alii o ka Moaba ia manawa.
VaMoabhu vakati kuvakuru veMidhiani, “Vanhu vazhinji ava vachananzva zvinhu zvose zvakatipoteredza, semombe inonanzva sora romusango.” Saka Bharaki mwanakomana waZipori, uyo akanga ari Mambo weMoabhu panguva iyoyo,
5 No ia mea, hoouna aku la ia i mau elele io Balaama la ke keiki a Beora i Petora ma ka muliwai o ka aina o na keiki o kona poe kanaka, e kii ia ia, i aku la, Eia hoi, he poe kanaka i hele mai nei mai Aigupita mai: aia hoi, ke uhi paapu nei lakou i ka aina, a e noho ku pono ana lakou io'u nei.
akatuma nhume kundodana Bharamu mwanakomana waBheori, uyo akanga ari paPetori, pedyo noRwizi, munyika yaakaberekerwa. Bharaki akati: “Vanhu vakabva kuIjipiti, vakazadza nyika yose, uye vagara pedyo neni.
6 Nolaila la, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele mai oe e olelo hoino aku no'u i keia poe kanaka; no ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko'u: malia e loaa paha ia'u ka ikaika e hahau aku ai makou ia lakou, a e kipaku au ia lakou mawaho o ka aina: no ka mea, ua ike no wau, o kau e hoomaikai aku ai, oia ke hoopomaikaiia; a o kau e olelo hoino aku ai, oia ke hoopoinoia.
Zvino, uya utuke vanhu ava, nokuti simba ravo iguru kwazvo kwandiri. Zvichida ipapo ndingagona kuvakunda ndikavadzinga vabude munyika ino. Nokuti ndinoziva kuti avo vaunoropafadza vanoropafadzwa, uye vaunotuka vanotukwa.”
7 Hele aku la na lunakahiko o Moaba me na lunakahiko o Midiana, me ka uku no ka anaana ana: a hiki aku la lakou io Balaama la, a hai aku la ia ia i ka olelo a Balaka.
Vakuru veMoabhu neveMidhiani vakabva, vakatora mari yokuripa kuvuka. Vakati vasvika kuna Bharamu vakamuudza zvakanga zvarehwa naBharaki.
8 I mai la oia ia lakou, e moe oukou maanei i keia po, a e hai aku au ia oukou e like me ka Iehova e olelo mai ai ia'u; a noho iho la na luna o Moaba me Balaama.
Bharamu akati kwavari, “Chivatai pano, ndichauya nemhinduro yandichapiwa naJehovha.” Saka machinda eMoabhu akagara naye.
9 Hele mai la ke Akua io Balaama la, ninau mai la, Owai keia poe kanaka me oe?
Mwari akauya kuna Bharamu akamubvunza akati, “Vanhu vaunavo ndivanaaniko?”
10 I aku la o Balaama i ke Akua, O Balaka ke keiki a Zipora, ke alii o Moaba, ua hoouna mai io'u nei, [i ka i ana, ]
Bharamu akati kuna Mwari, “Bharaki mwanakomana waZipori, mambo weMoabhu, akanditumira nhume idzi achiti, ‘Vanhu vakabuda kubva kuIjipiti vakazadza nyika yose.
11 Aia hoi he poe kanaka i hele mai nei mai Aigupita mai, uhi paapu lakou i ka aina: e hele mai hoi oe e olelo hoino aku ia lakou no'u; malia paha e lanakila au i ke kaua ana aku ia lakou, a e kipaku aku ia lakou.
Zvino uya unditukire vanhu ava. Zvichida izvozvi ndingagona kurwa navo ndikavadzingira kure.’”
12 Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Balaama, Mai hele aku oe me lakou: mai olelo hoino aku i ua poe kanaka la; no ka mea, ua hoomaikaiia lakou.
Asi Mwari akati kuna Bharamu, “Usaenda navo. Haufaniri kutuka vanhu avo, nokuti vakaropafadzwa.”
13 Ala ae la o Balaama i kakahiaka, i aku la i na luna o Balaka, E hoi oukou i ko oukou aina; no ka mea, aole i ae mai o Iehova ia'u e hele me oukou.
Fume mangwana, Bharamu akamuka akati kumachinda aBharaki, “Dzokerai kunyika yokwenyu, nokuti Jehovha aramba kuti ndiende nemi.”
14 Ku ae la na luna o Moaba, a hoi aku la io Balaka la, i aku la, Ua hoole mai o Balaama aole e hele mai me makou.
Saka machinda eMoabhu akadzokera kuna Bharaki akati, “Bharamu akaramba kuuya nesu.”
15 Hoouna hou aku la o Balaka i na luna, he nui aku, a he oi hoi ko lakou koikoi i ko kela poe.
Ipapo Bharaki akatumazve mamwe machinda, akawanda chose uye aikudzwa kupinda vokutanga.
16 Hele aku la lakou io Balaama la, i aku ia ia, Penei ka Balaka ka ke keiki a Zipora e olelo mai nei, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, i keakea ole kekahi mea ia oe i ka hele ana mai io'u nei:
Vakasvika kuna Bharamu vakati: “Zvanzi naBharaki mwanakomana waZipori: Usatendera chimwe chinhu kukukonesa kuuya kwandiri,
17 No ka mea, e hoohanohano loa aku au ia oe, a e hana aku au i na mea a pau au e olelo mai ai ia'u: ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele mai hoi, e olelo hoino aku no'u i keia poe kanaka.
nokuti ndichakupa mubayiro wakanaka kwazvo uye ndichaita zvose zvaunoreva. Uya unditukire vanhu ava.”
18 Olelo mai la o Balaama, i mai la i na kauwa a Balaka, Ina e haawi mai o Balaka ia'u i ke kala a me ke gula a piha kona hale, aole e hiki ia'u ke hoohala i ka olelo a Iehova a ko'u Akua, i ka hoemi iho, i ka oi aku paha.
Asi Bharamu akavapindura akati, “Kunyange dai Bharaki akandipa muzinda wake uzere nesirivha negoridhe, handingagoni kuita chimwe chinhu chikuru kana chiduku kuti tiite zvinodarika murayiro waJehovha Mwari wangu.
19 No ia mea, ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e noho hoi oukou ia nei i keia po, i ike au i ka mea a Iehova e olelo hou mai ai ia'u.
Zvino chivatai pano manheru ano sezvakaita vamwe, ini ndichanzwa kana Jehovha ane zvimwe zvaangandiudza.”
20 Hele mai la ke Akua io Balaama la ia po iho, i mai la ia ia, Ina paha e hele mai ua mau kanaka la e hea mai ia oe, e ala ae oe e hele pu me lakou; aka, o ka olelo a'u e hai aku ai ia oe, oia kau e hana'i.
Usiku ihwohwo Mwari akauya kuna Bharamu akati kwaari, “Sezvo vanhu ava vauya kuzokudana, enda hako navo, asi uite chete zvandinokuudza.”
21 Ala ae la o Balaama i kakahiaka, hoee aku la i ka noho maluna o kona hoki, a hele pu aku la me na luna o Moaba.
Bharamu akamuka mangwanani, akaisa chigaro pambongoro yake akaenda namachinda eMoabhu.
22 Ua hoaia ka inaina o ke Akua, no kona hele ana; a ku mai la ka anela o Iehova ma ke alanui, i mea ku e mai ia ia. E holo ana ia maluna o kona hoki, elua ana mau kauwa me ia.
Asi Mwari akamutsamwira zvikuru paakaenda, uye mutumwa waJehovha akamira munzira kuti amukonese. Bharamu akanga akatasva mbongoro yake, uye varanda vake vaviri vaiva naye.
23 Ike aku la ka hoki i ka anela o Iehova e ku ana ma ke ala, a me kana pahikana i unuhiia ma kona lima; huli ae la ka hoki mawaho o ke ala, a hele aku la ma ke kula; a hahau iho la o Balaama i ka hoki, e hoohuli hou ia ia ma ke ala.
Mbongoro yakati ichiona mutumwa waJehovha amire munzira ane munondo wakavhomorwa muruoko rwake, yakabuda munzira ikapinda mumunda. Bharamu akairova kuti idzokere munzira.
24 Aka, ku ae la ka anela o Iehova ma ke ala o na pawaina, he papohaku ma kela aoao, a he papohaku ma keia aoao.
Ipapo mutumwa waJehovha akamira pakamanikana pakati peminda miviri yemizambiringa, paiva namasvingo kumativi ose.
25 A ike aku la ka hoki i ka anela o Iehova, pipika ae la ia ma ka papohaku, a pepe iho la ka wawae o Balaama i ka papohaku; a hahau hou iho la kela ia ia.
Mbongoro yakati ichiona mutumwa waJehovha, yakazvimanikidzira kurusvingo ikatsimbirira rutsoka rwaBharamu parwuri. Saka akapamhazve kuirova.
26 A hele hou aku la ka anela o Iehova, a ku iho la ma kahi haiki, aole wahi e huli ae ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema.
Ipapo mutumwa waJehovha akapfuurira mberi akandomira panzvimbo yakamanikana pakanga pasina mukana wokutendeukira kurudyi kana kuruboshwe.
27 A ike aku la ka hoki i ka anela o Iehova, hina iho la ia malalo o Balaama; huhu iho la o Balaama, a hahau iho la ia i ka hoki me ke kookoo.
Mbongoro yakati ichiona mutumwa waJehovha, yakavata pasi paBharamu, iye akatsamwa zvikuru akairova netsvimbo yake.
28 Wehe ae la o Iehova i ka waha o ka hoki, a i mai la ia ia Balaama, Heaha ka'u i hana aku ai ia oe, i pakolu ai kau hahau ana mai ia'u?
Ipapo Jehovha akashamisa muromo wembongoro, ikati kuna Bharamu, “Ndaiteiko kwamuri zvaita kuti mundirove katatu kose aka?”
29 I aku la o Balaama i ka hoki, No ka mea, na hana ino mai oe ia'u; ina he pahikana ma ko'u lima, ina ua make oe ia'u.
Bharamu akapindura mbongoro akati, “Wandiita benzi iwe! Dai ndanga ndiine munondo muruoko rwangu ndingadai ndakuuraya izvozvi.”
30 Ninau mai la ka hoki ia Balaama, Aole anei wau o kou hoki, ka mea au i holoholo ai, mai ka manawa i lilo ai au nou, a hiki i neia la? Pela no anei ka'u i hana aku ai ia oe mamua? I aku la kela, Aole.
Mbongoro yakati kuna Bharamu, “Ko, handisi mbongoro yenyu, yamunogara muchitasva kusvikira zuva rino here? Ko, ndinogara ndichikuitirai zvakadai here?” Iye akati, “Kwete.”
31 Alaila hookaakaa ae la o Iehova i na maka o Balaama, a ike aku la ia i ka anela o Iehova e ku ana ma ke alanui me ka pahikaua i unuhiia ma kona lima: kulou iho la ia, a moe iho la ilalo ke alo.
Ipapo Jehovha akasvinudza meso aBharamu, iye akaona mutumwa waJehovha amire munzira ane munondo wake wakavhomorwa. Saka akakotama akawira pasi nechiso chake.
32 I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia ia, No ke aha la oe i hahau ai i kou hoki, ekolu hahau ana? Aia hoi, i hele mai nei au e ku e ia oe; no ka mea, ua kekee kou aoao imua o'u.
Mutumwa waJehovha akamubvunza achiti, “Warovereiko mbongoro yako rutatu rwose urwu? Ini ndauya pano kuzokudzivisa nokuti nzira yako haina kururama kwandiri.
33 A ike mai la ka hoki ia'u, a huli ae la mai o'u aku la, ekolu huli ana: he oiaio, ina aole ia i huli ae, mai o'u aku nei, ina ua make oe ia'u, a ola kela.
Mbongoro yandiona ikatsauka ichibva pandiri katatu aka kose. Dai isina kutsauka, zvirokwazvo ndingadai ndakuuraya izvozvi, asi iyo ndairaramisa.”
34 I aku la o Balaama i ka anela o Iehova, Ua hewa wau; aole au i ike ua ku e mai oe ia'u ma ke alanui: ano hoi, a i hewa ia mea ia oe, e hoi hou aku no wau.
Bharamu akati kumutumwa waJehovha, “Ndatadza. Handina kuziva kuti manga mumire munzira kuti mundidzivise. Zvino kana musingafari, ndodzokera hangu.”
35 I mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Balaama, E hele pu oe me ia mau kanaka; aka, o ka olelo a'u e hai aku ai ia oe, oia wale no kau e olelo aku ai. A hele aku la o Balaama me na luna o Balaka.
Mutumwa waJehovha akati kuna Bharamu, “Chienda hako navarume ava, asi utaure zvandinokuudza zvoga.” Saka Bharamu akaenda namachinda aBharaki.
36 A lohe ae la o Balaka, ua hiki mai o Balaama, hele aku kela e halawai me ia ma kekahi kulanakauhale o Moaba ma ka palena o Arenona, oia no ka palenamamao loa.
Bharaki akati anzwa kuti Bharamu akanga achiuya, akabuda kuti andosangana naye paguta ravaMoabhu pamuganhu weAnoni, kumagumo kwenyika yake.
37 I mai la o Balaka ia Balaama, Aole anei au i hoouna ikaika aku iou la, e kii ia oe? Heaha hoi kau i hele ole mai ai io'u nei? Aole anei e hiki ia'u ke hoohanohano ia oe?
Bharaki akati kuna Bharamu, “Handina kukudana nokukurumidza here? Seiko usina kuuya kwandiri? Ini handigoni kukupa mubayiro here?”
38 I aku la o Balaama ia Balaka, Eia hoi, ua hiki mai nei au iou la: ia'u no anei kekahi pono iki ke hai aku ia oe i kekahi mea? O ka olelo a ke Akua e waiho mai ai iloko o ko'u waha, oia ka'u e olelo aku ai.
Bharamu akapindura akati, “Zvakanaka, zvino ndauya kwauri. Asi ndingataura zvose zvose here? Ndinofanira kungotaura chete zvinenge zvaiswa mumuromo mangu naMwari.”
39 Hele pu ae la o Balaama me Balaka, a hiki ae la laua i Kiriatahuzota.
Ipapo Bharamu akaenda naBharaki kuKiriati Huzoti.
40 Mohai aku la o Balaka i na bipi a me na hipa, a hoouna aku la io Balaama la, a i na luna me ia.
Bharaki akabayira mombe namakwai, akapa zvimwe kuna Bharamu namachinda akanga anaye.
41 A kakahiaka ae la, kono aku la o Balaka ia Balaama, a kai aku la ia ia i kahi kiekie o Baala, i ike aku ai oia ma ia wahi i ka poe kanaka a pau.
Fume mangwana, Bharaki akatora Bharamu akakwidza naye kuBhamoti Bhaari, uye ikoko akaona chikamu chavanhu.
