4 Mose 23
1 Balamu'a anage huno kini ne' Balakina asmi'ne, amare 7ni'a kresramnama vu ita tro hunentenka, 7ni'a bulimakao afu'ene 7ni'a ve' sipisipi afutamine uvrenka eno.
Balaamu akasema, “Nijengee hapa madhabahu saba, mnitayarishie mafahali saba na kondoo dume saba.”
2 Higeno Balaki'a Balamu'ma asamiaza hu'ne. Higeke Balaki'ene Balamukea magoke magoke kresramna vu itarera mago bulimakaone mago ve sipisipine kresramna vutere hu'na'e.
Balaki akafanya kama Balaamu alivyosema; hao wawili kila mmoja wao akatoa fahali mmoja na kondoo dume mmoja juu ya kila madhabahu.
3 Hagi Balamu'a anante Balakina asamino, ofaka'ama kresramna vunante otinka mani'nege'na, mago'a kaziga nagrake umani'nanenkeno Ra Anumzamo'a kea nasamigahifi emeriama hu'na anankea tamasami'neno. Anage huteno anantetira Balamu'a zamatreno mago'za omane agonarega marerine.
Kisha Balaamu akamwambia Balaki, “Kaa hapa kando ya sadaka yako wakati mimi ninakwenda kando. Huenda Bwana atakuja kukutana nami. Lolote atakalonifunulia, nitakuambia.” Basi akaenda hata mahali peupe palipoinuka.
4 Hagi Anumzamo'a Balamuna tutagiha huntegeno, Balamu'a anage huno asami'ne, nagra 7ni'a kresramna vu itarera mago'mago kresramna vu itarera mago bulimakaone, mago ve sipisipine ahe'na kresramna vu'noe.
Mungu akakutana naye, kisha Balaamu akasema, “Nimekwisha kutengeneza madhabahu saba, na juu ya kila madhabahu nimetoa sadaka ya fahali mmoja na kondoo dume mmoja.”
5 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Balamuna nanekea asamino, Ete vunka Balakina amama kasamu kea ome asamio.
Bwana akaweka ujumbe katika kinywa cha Balaamu na kusema, “Rudi kwa Balaki umpe ujumbe huu.”
6 Higeno Balamu'a rukrahe huno vuno, ome keana Balaki'a miko Moapu kva vahetamine kresramnama vu itare oti'negeno vu'ne.
Basi Balaamu akarudi kwa Balaki, akamkuta amesimama kando ya sadaka yake akiwa na wakuu wote wa Moabu.
7 Anante Balamu'a amanage huno kasnampa kea huama huno zamasami'ne, Aramu zage hanati kaziga agonafi mani'nogeno Moapu kini ne' Balaki'a Israeli vahe'mokizmi kazusi ke eme hunezmantenka, Jekopu nagara huhaviza huzmantogu kea hige'na e'noe.
Ndipo Balaamu akasema ujumbe wake: “Balaki amenileta kutoka Aramu, mfalme wa Moabu kutoka milima ya mashariki. Akasema, ‘Njoo, unilaanie Yakobo; njoo unishutumie Israeli.’
8 Hagi nagra inankna hu'na Anumzamo'ma kazusima huontoma huno hu'nenia vahera, kazusinkea hunentena, Ra Anumzamo'ma huhaviza huonto huno'ma hu'nenia vahera, inankna hu'na huhaviza huntegahue?
Nitawezaje kuwalaani, hao ambao Mungu hajawalaani? Nitawezaje kuwashutumu hao ambao Bwana hakuwashutumu?
9 Nagra have agonareti kefenkamu atre'na Israeli vahera zamage'noe. Zamagra mani ruotage hu'za Anumzamofo vahe mani'ne'za zamarimpa frune mani'naze.
Kutoka vilele vya miamba ninawaona, kutoka mahali palipoinuka ninawatazama. Ninaliona taifa ambalo wanaishi peke yao, nao hawahesabiwi kama mojawapo ya mataifa.
10 Israeli agehe'za hagera hu'za kahepankna hu'za rama'a vahe nemanisage'za, 4'afi refko hanage'za mago kevu manigahazanagi zamagrira hamprigara osugahaze. Hagi ama mopafima nasimu'ma eri'na mani'nenurera, nagra Anumzamofo agorga nemanina, zamagrikna hu'na narimpa frune frizankura nave'nesie.
Ni nani awezaye kuhesabu mavumbi ya Yakobo, au kuhesabu robo ya Israeli? Mimi na nife kifo cha mtu mwenye haki, na mwisho wangu na uwe kama wao!”
11 Anante Balaki'a amanage huno Balamuna antahige'ne. Kagra na'a hunenantane? Nagra ha' vahe'ni'a kazusi huzmantogu kavrena amafina e'noe. Hagi ko! Kagra mani soe'ma hu'zama manisagu asomu ke hunezmantane!
Balaki akamwambia Balaamu, “Ni nini ulichonitendea? Nimekuleta ulaani adui zangu, lakini wewe badala yake umewabariki!”
12 Hianagi Balamu'a kenona hunteno, Ra Anumzamo'ma huoma huno hunantesia ke'age nagra hugahue hu'ne.
Balaamu akajibu, “Je, hainipasi kusema kile Bwana anachoweka katika kinywa changu?”
13 Anante kini ne Balaki'a Balamuna anage huno asmi'ne, Nagrane egeta Pisga agonare umanineta rama'a Israeli vahera ozmagegahane. Hianagi osi'a nezmagenka anama zamagesanama'a kazusi kea huzmanto,
Ndipo Balaki akamwambia, “Twende pamoja mahali pengine ambapo unaweza kuwaona; utawaona baadhi tu wala si wote. Nawe kutoka huko, unilaanie hao.”
14 Huteno anantetira Balamuna avreno Zofim agupofi me'nea Piska agonare, 7ni'a kresramna vu ita ome tro huno, ve bulimakaone ve sipisipinena mago'mago kresramna vu itarera ofa hu'ne.
Basi akampeleka kwenye shamba la Sofimu, juu ya kilele cha Mlima Pisga. Pale akajenga madhabahu saba na kutoa sadaka ya fahali na kondoo dume mmoja juu ya kila madhabahu.
15 Hagi Balamu'a Balakina asamino, ama kresramna vu itare mani'nege'na Ra Anumzamofona anturega vu'na ome tutagiha huntaneno.
Balaamu akamwambia Balaki, “Kaa hapa kando ya sadaka yako wakati ninapokwenda kuonana na Mungu kule.”
16 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Balamuna tutagiha hunteno amanage huno nanekea asami'ne, Ete vunka Balakina ama ana naneke ome asamio.
Bwana akakutana na Balaamu, akaweka ujumbe katika kinywa chake akasema, “Rudi kwa Balaki umpe ujumbe huu.”
17 Higeno Balaki'a anama ofama hu'nere Moapu kva vahe'mo'zane otino mani'neno, na'ane huno Ra Anumzamo'a kasami'ne huno Balamuna antahige'ne?
Basi Balaamu akarudi kwa Balaki, akamkuta amesimama kando ya sadaka yake, akiwa na wakuu wa Moabu. Balaki akamuuliza, “Je, Bwana amesema nini?”
18 Ra Anumzamo'ma asami'nea kasnampa nanekea Balamu'a amanage huno asami'ne, Zipori nemofoga kama antahio,
Ndipo Balaamu akasema ujumbe wake: “Balaki, inuka na usikilize, nisikie mimi, wewe mwana wa Sipori.
19 Anumzamo'a tagrikna vahera omani'neankino, havigea osugahie. Agra kema hia kere amage anteno anaza nehia ne' mani'ne. Agrama kema nehuno'a, ana kemofo amage anteno eri so'e nehia ne' mani'ne.
Mungu si mtu, hata aseme uongo, wala yeye si mwanadamu, hata ajute. Je, anasema, kisha asitende? Je, anaahidi, asitimize?
20 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a ana vahera asomu ke huzamanto huno nasami'neanki'na, nagra ana kea eritrena ru kea osugahue.
Nimepokea agizo kubariki; amebariki, nami siwezi kubadilisha.
21 Israeli nagapina koana mago havizana kena eriforera osugeno, mago zamazeri haviza hu'zana omanene. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a zamagrane mani'nege'za, zamagra hu'za Ra Anumzana tagri kinie hu'za nehaze.
“Haijaonekana bahati mbaya katika Yakobo, wala taabu katika Israeli. Bwana, Mungu wao yu pamoja nao, nayo sauti kuu ya Mfalme imo katikati yao.
22 Ra Anumzamo Isipitira zamavareno atirami'neankino zamagripina afi' ve bulimakaomofo hanavegna hanave me'ne.
Mungu aliwatoa kutoka Misri; wao wana nguvu za nyati.
23 Ha' vahe'mo'zama Israeli vahe avuatga hu'zo, sankuma hu'za zamaheku'ma hanazana, anazamo'a amne'za segahie. Hanige'za menina Israeli vahe'mokizmi nezmage'za maka veamo'za, Anumzamo'a zamahoke neheno ruzahu'za erifore nehianki, keho hu'za hugahaze.
Hakuna uchawi dhidi ya Yakobo, wala hakuna uaguzi dhidi ya Israeli. Sasa itasemwa kuhusu Yakobo na Israeli, ‘Tazama yale Mungu aliyotenda!’
24 Hagi keho, Israeli vahe'mo'za laionimo eaza hu'za ne-eza, laionimo ahenaku hia zagama otre ronato huvava huno aheno asgahu nevazino korama'a neankna hute'za, manigsa hugahaze.
Taifa lainuka kama simba jike; linajiinua kama simba ambaye hatulii mpaka amalize kurarua mawindo yake na kunywa damu ya mawindo yake.”
25 Hagi anante Balaki'a anage huno Balamuna asmi'ne, Kazusi kema huozamante'nunka asomu kea huozamanto.
Kisha Balaki akamwambia Balaamu, “Usiwalaani kabisa, wala usiwabariki kabisa!”
26 Hianagi Balamu'a amanage huno Balakina asami'ne, Ra Anumzamo'ma huoma huno hunante'nia zana hugahue hu'na kasami'nofi onkasami'noe?
Balaamu akajibu, “Je, sikukuambia ni lazima nifanye lolote analosema Bwana?”
27 Hagi Balaki'a anage huno Balamunkura hu'ne, Antureti'ma Ra Anumzamo'a musema huno'ma kazusima huzamantenigu ege'na kavre'na vaneno.
Basi Balaki akamwambia Balaamu, “Njoo, nikupeleke mahali pengine. Huenda itampendeza Mungu kukuruhusu unilaanie hao watu kutoka mahali hapo.”
28 Hagi Balamuna avreno Peori agonare vigeno, ka'ma kokana ke'ne
Balaki akamchukua Balaamu juu ya Mlima Peori, unaotazamana na nyika.
29 Balamu'a anage huno Balakina asmi'ne, amare 7ni'a kresramna vu ita tro hunentenka, 7ni'a bulimakao afu'ene 7ni'a ve sipisipi afutamine uvrenka eno.
Balaamu akasema, “Nijengee hapa madhabahu saba, uandae mafahali saba na kondoo dume saba kwa ajili yangu.”
30 Higeno Balamu'ma asmiaza huno Balaki'a, Ana 7ni'a itarera mago mago ve bulimakaone, mago mago ve sipisipine aheno kresramna vutere hu'ne.
Balaki akafanya kama Balaamu alivyosema, kisha akatoa sadaka ya fahali mmoja na kondoo dume mmoja juu ya kila madhabahu.
