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.

Basi Balaamu alipoona imempendeza Bwana kubariki Israeli, hakuendelea tena kutafuta uchawi kama nyakati nyingine, bali aligeuza uso wake kuelekea nyikani.

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,

Balaamu alipotazama nje na kuona Israeli amepiga kambi kabila kwa kabila, Roho wa Mungu akawa juu yake,

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

naye akatoa ujumbe wake: “Ujumbe wa Balaamu mwana wa Beori, ujumbe wake yeye ambaye jicho lake linaona vizuri;

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

ujumbe wake yeye ambaye husikia maneno ya Mungu, ambaye huona maono kutoka kwa Mwenyezi, ambaye huanguka kifudifudi, na ambaye macho yake yamefunguka:

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

“Tazama jinsi yalivyo mazuri mahema yako, ee Yakobo, maskani yako, ee Israeli!

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.

“Kama mabonde, yanaenea, kama bustani kando ya mto, kama miti ya udi iliyopandwa na Bwana, kama mierezi kando ya maji.

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.

Maji yatatiririka kutoka ndoo zake; mbegu yake itakuwa na maji tele. “Mfalme wake atakuwa mkuu kuliko Mfalme Agagi; ufalme wake utatukuka.

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.

“Mungu alimleta kutoka Misri; yeye ana nguvu kama nyati. Anayararua mataifa yaliyo adui zake, na kuvunja mifupa yao vipande vipande; huwachoma kwa mishale yake.

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.

Hujikunyata na kuvizia kama simba, kama simba jike; nani anayethubutu kumwamsha? “Abarikiwe kila akubarikiye, na alaaniwe kila akulaaniye!”

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.

Ndipo hasira ya Balaki ikawaka dhidi ya Balaamu. Akapiga mikono yake pamoja, akamwambia Balaamu, “Nilikuita uje kuwalaani adui zangu, lakini umewabariki mara hizi tatu.

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.

Sasa ondoka upesi uende nyumbani! Mimi nilisema nitakuzawadia vizuri sana, lakini Bwana amekuzuia usizawadiwe.”

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

Balaamu akamwambia Balaki, “Je, hukumbuki jinsi nilivyowaambia wajumbe uliowatuma kwangu? Niliwaambia hivi,

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.

‘Hata ikiwa Balaki angenipa jumba lake la kifalme likiwa limejazwa fedha na dhahabu, nisingeweza kufanya kitu chochote kwa matakwa yangu, kikiwa kizuri au kibaya, kwenda kinyume na agizo la Bwana, nami imenipasa kusema tu kile Bwana atakachosema’?

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

Sasa ninarudi kwa watu wangu. Lakini njoo, nikuonye kuhusu kile watu hawa watakachowatenda watu wako siku zijazo.”

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.

Kisha Balaamu akatoa ujumbe wake: “Ujumbe wa Balaamu mwana wa Beori, ujumbe wake yeye ambaye jicho lake linaona vizuri;

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.

ujumbe wake yeye ambaye husikia maneno ya Mungu, ambaye ana maarifa kutoka kwa Aliye Juu Sana, huona maono kutoka Mwenyezi, ambaye huanguka kifudifudi na ambaye macho yake yamefunguka:

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.

“Namwona yeye, lakini si sasa; namtazama yeye, lakini si karibu. Nyota itatoka kwa Yakobo, fimbo ya ufalme itainuka kutoka kwa Israeli. Atawaponda Wamoabu vipaji vya nyuso na mafuvu yote ya wana wa Shethi.

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.

Edomu itamilikiwa, Seiri, adui wake, itamilikiwa, lakini Israeli atakuwa na nguvu.

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

Mtawala atakuja kutoka kwa Yakobo na kuangamiza walionusurika katika mji.”

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.

Kisha Balaamu akawaona watu wa Amaleki, na kutoa ujumbe wake: “Amaleki ilikuwa ya kwanza miongoni mwa mataifa, lakini mwisho wake itaangamizwa milele.”

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.

Kisha akawaona Wakeni, akatoa ujumbe wake: “Makao yenu ni salama, kiota chenu kiko kwenye mwamba.

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

Hata hivyo ninyi Wakeni mtaangamizwa Ashuru atakapowachukua mateka.”

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

Ndipo akatoa ujumbe wake: “Lo, ni nani atakayeweza kuishi wakati Mungu atakapofanya hili?

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

Meli zitakuja kutoka pwani za Kitimu, zitaitiisha Ashuru na Eberi, lakini nao pia wataangamizwa.”

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

Kisha Balaamu akainuka na kurudi nyumbani kwake, naye Balaki akashika njia yake.
