4 Mose 24

1 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe asomu kema huzamantea zama Balamu'ma keno antahino'ma nehuno'a, Agra mago'anena nehiaza osu'neanki, avugosa rukrahe huno hagege ka'ma kokantega hunte'ne.

UBalami esebonile ukuthi kuhle emehlweni eNkosi ukubusisa uIsrayeli, kahambanga njengezinye izikhathi ukuyadinga imilingo; kodwa wakhangelisa ubuso bakhe enkangala.

2 Hagi Balamu'a anama Israeli vahe'mo'zama nagate nofite'ma seli nonkuma'ma antetere hu'naza kuma'ma negegeno, Ra Anumzamofo Avamumo agripi emanigeno,

Kwathi uBalami ephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona uIsrayeli ehlezi ngokwezizwe zakhe, loMoya kaNkulunkulu waba phezu kwakhe.

3 amanage huno kasnampa nanekea huama hu'ne, ama nanekea Beori nemofo Balamu miko'zama keama huno negea ne'mofo kasnampa naneke.

Wasephakamisa umfanekiso wakhe wathi: UBalami indodana kaBeyori uthi, lendoda olihlo layo livulekile ithi,

4 Hagi ama Anumzamofo kea nentahina, hanave'ane Anumzamo'ma ava'nagna zana naverige'na nege'na, mikazana keama hu'na negoe.

uthi ozwayo amazwi kaNkulunkulu, obonayo umbono kaSomandla, esiwa, njalo kwembulwe amehlo.

5 Israeli naga'mota seli no kumatamimo'a knare'zantfa hu'ne. Jekopu nagamota nomani zantamimo'a knare zantfa hu'ne.

Mahle kangakanani amathente akho, Jakobe, amakhaya akho, Israyeli!

6 Hagi agupo kokamo me'no viankna nehigeno, tinkenare me'nea hozagna nehuno, Alovera traza Ra Anumzamo kriankna nehu'no, sida zafamo tinkenare hageanka hu'ne.

Njengezigodi zisabalele, njengezivande ngasemfuleni, njengezinhlaba iNkosi ezihlanyeleyo, njengezihlahla zemisedari ngasemanzini!

7 Timo'a zamagri tafempintira tagiramigahie. Zamagri mofavremo'za rama'a tina erigahaze. Tamagri kinima fore'ma hanimo'a Ameleki kini nera Agakina agatereno himamu hanave'ane kini ne manisige'za agrama kegavama hania kumara husga huntegahaze.

Amanzi azageleza evela embizeni zakhe, lenhlanyelo yakhe izakuba semanzini amanengi, lenkosi yakhe izakuba nkulu kuloAgagi, lombuso wakhe uzaphakama.

8 Hagi afi bulimakaomofo hanavemo'ma hiaza huno Ra Anumzamo'a Isipitira zamavareno atiramino e'ne. Hagi miko kumate vahera zamahe fananene nehu'za, ha' vahe'zamia kevereti zamaheno zaferinazamia rugorigahie.

UNkulunkulu wamkhupha eGibhithe, ulokunjengamandla enyathi, uzakudla izizwe, izitha zakhe, njalo uzakwephula amathambo azo, njalo azitshoke ngemitshoko yakhe.

9 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za laionimo avu mase'nege'za vahe'mo'za azeri oti'zanku kore nehazankna vahere. Hagi iza'o asomu ke'ma huzamantesimo'a, asomu erigahie. Hagi iza'o kazusi kema huzamantesimo'a, agra'a haviza hugahie.

Waqutha, walala phansi njengesilwane, lanjengesilwane esisikazi; ngubani ozamvusa? Okubusisayo abusiswe, lokuqalekisayo aqalekiswe!

10 Hagi Balaki'a ana nanekema nentahino'a tusi rimpa ahegeno agra'a azana rupro nehuno anage hu'ne, antahio kagra ha' vaheni'a kazusi huzamantesanegu ke hugenka amafina e'nananagi, 3'a zupa asomu kea huzamantane.

Njalo ulaka lukaBalaki lwavuthela uBalami, watshaya izandla zakhe, uBalaki wasesithi kuBalami: Ngikubize ukuze uqalekise izitha zami, kodwa khangela, uzibusisile lokuzibusisa okwalezizikhathi ezintathu.

11 E'ina hanku menina kagra amafintira maniganenka ame hunka kumaka'arega vuo. Hagi rama'aza kaminaku huanagi, mizama kaminaku'ma huazana Ra Anumzankamo asevazigantegu, mizana onkamigosue.

Khathesi-ke zibalekele uye endaweni yakho. Bengithe ngizakuhlonipha ngodumo, kodwa khangela, iNkosi ikuvimbile kudumo.

12 Higeno Balamu'a ana kenona Balakina asamino, kema huzamantanke'za ome nasami'naza vahera nagra anage hu'na zamasami'noe.

UBalami wasesithi kuBalaki: Kangikhulumanga yini lakuzithunywa obuzithume kimi ngisithi:

13 Balaki'a silvane golinema avite'nenia noma'a namigahianagi, Ra Anumzamofona rimpa eri haviza hu'na nagra navesitera ra zano osi'zano osugahuanki, Agrama huo huno'ma hania ke'age hugahue.

Uba uBalaki ebezangipha indlu yakhe igcwele isiliva legolide, bengingayikweqa umlayo weNkosi, ukwenza okuhle kumbe okubi okwenhliziyo yami; lokho iNkosi ekutshoyo yilokho engizakukhuluma?

14 Hagi nagra menina vahe'nirega vugahuanki, ege'na henka'ama Israeli vahe'mo'zama vahekama huzamantesaza zamofo nanekea kasami'neno.

Khathesi-ke, khangela, ngiya ebantwini bakithi; woza ngikucebise ukuthi lababantu bazakwenzani ebantwini bakini ensukwini zokucina.

15 Hagi Balamu'a anage huno kasnampa kea Balakina asami'ne, ama Beori nemofo Balamu avureti amate keni'ma hu'nea ne'mofo kasnampa ke.

Wasephakamisa umfanekiso wakhe wathi: UBalami indodana kaBeyori uthi, lendoda elamehlo avulekileyo ithi,

16 Hagi nagra Ra Anumzamofo kea nentahina, Mrerisa Anumzamofo antahintahi'a antahi ama nehu'na, Hankave'ane Ra Anumzamo ava'nagna zampi naveri hige'na, keama nehu'na mopafi mase'noanagi navumo'a hari hu'ne.

uthi ozwayo amazwi kaNkulunkulu, lowazi ulwazi loPhezukonke, obonayo umbono kaSomandla, esiwa, njalo kuvuleke amehlo.

17 Hagi nagra ana avanagna zampina mago vahe ke'noanagi, henka fore hugahie. Jekopumpinti masanentake hanafira hanatino remsa hanigeno, kinimo'ma e'neria azotamo'a Israeli vahepinti enkeno, Moapu vahe'mota tamahe vaganereno, Seti mofavreramina zmasenia ruprorovazino zamahegahie.

Ngizambona, kodwa hatshi khathesi, ngizamkhangela, kodwa kungeseduze; kuzavela inkanyezi kuJakobe, lentonga yobukhosi izavuka koIsrayeli, itshaye amagumbi akoMowabi, njalo ichithe bonke abantwana bakaShethi.

18 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Idomu vahera hahuzamante'za mopazmia erinafa'a nehu'za, ha' vahe'zami Seiri vahe'mokizmi mopa erinafa'a hugahaze. Ana nehu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za hihamu vahe manigahaze.

Njalo uEdoma uzakuba yimfuyo, loSeyiri abe yimfuyo yezitha zakhe, kodwa uIsrayeli uzakwenza ngobuqhawe,

19 Hagi Jekopu nagapinti mago'mo ana mopa kva mani'neno, mago'ama mesia rankumara erihaviza hugahie.

kuzavela-ke koJakobe umbusi, njalo uzabhubhisa oseleyo emzini.

20 Hagi anante Balamu'a Ameleki vahe'ma mani'nazarega nezmageno, anage huno kasnampa kea hu'ne, Amelekia hanave kuma meno ugota hu'neanagi, eri haviza hanigeno haviza hugahie.

Esebone uAmaleki, waphakamisa umfanekiso wakhe wathi: UAmaleki wayengowokuqala wezizwe, kodwa ukucina kwakhe kuyikubhubha okupheleleyo.

21 Hagi anante Kin vahe'ma mani'nazarega nezmageno kasnampa kea anage hu'ne, tamagra vahemo tamazeri haviza osaniegu namamo'ma havefi noma kiaza hu'naze.

Esebone amaKeni, waphakamisa umfanekiso wakhe wathi: Iqinile indlu yakho, isidleke sakho usimise edwaleni.

22 Hianagi Asuri vahe'mo'zama eme zamavare'za kinama ome hunezamantesageno, tamagerafa huno Kin kumatamimo'a haviza hugahie.

Kanti-ke uKhayini uzachithwa, aze akuthumbe uAshuri.

23 Hagi Balamu'a huvagare kasnampa kea anage hu'ne, Anumzamo'ma ama zama erifore'ma nehanigeno'a, iza amafina manigahie?

Wasephakamisa umfanekiso wakhe wathi: Maye, ngubani ozaphila nxa uNkulunkulu esenza lokhu?

24 Hianagi Saiprusi kazigati ventemo'a eno Asuri vahe'ene, Eberi vahera zamahe'nige'za fanene hugahaze. Hianagi zamagri'enena zamahe fanene hugahaze.

Imikhumbi izavela ekhunjini lweKitimi, ihluphe uAshuri, ihluphe uEberi; njalo laye uzabhubha okwesikhathi sonke.

25 Hagi anantetira Balamu'a oti'no, kuma'arega vigeno, Balakia kuma'arega vu'ne.

UBalami wasesukuma wahamba wabuyela endaweni yakhe; loBalaki laye wahamba ngendlela yakhe.
