5 n’atuma ababaka eri Balamu mutabani wa Byoli, eyali mu Pesoli, ekiriraanye Omugga, mu nsi y’ewaabwe, okumuyita ng’amugamba nti, “Abantu bali wano, baavudde mu Misiri, basaanikidde ensi yonna we batudde; basiisidde wano okunninaana.
somaa nnipa ma wɔkɔɔ Beor babarima Balaam nkyɛn wɔ Petor a ɛbɛn Asubɔnten Eufrate ho. Balak kae se, “Nnipadɔm bi fi Misraim aba. Wɔkata asase ani nyinaa na wɔabɛtena abɛn me.
6 Kale nno, nkusaba ojje onkolimirire abantu bano, kubanga bampitiridde amaanyi. Oboolyawo lwe ndisobola okubawangula ne mbagoba mu nsi yange. Kubanga mmanyi nga gw’okolimira akolimirwa, ne gw’osabira omukisa aweebwa omukisa.”
Mɛsrɛ wo, bra na bɛdome wɔn ma me, efisɛ wɔyɛ den sen me. Ebia ɛbɛma matumi adi wɔn so nkonim na mapam wɔn afi asase no so. Efisɛ minim nhyira a ɛba wɔn a wuhyira wɔn no so, na minim mmusu a ɛba wɔn a wodome wɔn no so nso.”
7 Awo ababaka abaatumibwa, abaali abakulembeze ba Mowaabu n’abakulembeze ba Midiyaani, ne basitula nga batutte n’ensimbi ez’okumusasula. Bwe baatuuka eri Balamu ne bamutegeeza obubaka Balaki bwe yabatuma.
Moab ne Midian mpanyimfo no fii hɔ a na wokita sika a wɔde rekotua Balaam ka ama wadome Israelfo no. Enti wɔkɔɔ Balaam nkyɛn kɔkaa nea ehia Balak no kyerɛɛ no.
8 Balamu n’abagamba nti, “Musule wano leero, nange nnaabatuusaako ekigambo Mukama ky’anaaba aŋŋambye.” Bwe batyo abakungu abaava mu Mowaabu ne basula ewa Balamu.
Balaam kae se, “Monna mma ade nkye mo. Ade kye a, nea Awurade bɛkyerɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, mɛka akyerɛ mo.” Enti Moab mpanyimfo no dae.
9 Katonda n’ajja eri Balamu n’amubuuza nti, “Bantu ki bano abali naawe?”
Anadwo no, Onyankopɔn baa Balaam nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Saa nnipa yi yɛ hefo?”
10 Balamu n’addamu Katonda nti, “Balaki mutabani wa Zipoli, Kabaka wa Mowaabu ye yampeereza obubaka buno ng’agamba nti,
Obuae se, “Wɔde nkra afi Moabhene Balak nkyɛn abrɛ me se:
11 ‘Abantu abavudde mu Misiri basaanikidde ensi we batudde. Kale nno jjangu obankolimirire. Oboolyawo ekyo kiyinza okunsobozesa okubalwanyisa ne mbagoba mu nsi yange.’”
Nnipadɔm bi fi Misraim aba ne hye so. Enti bra na bɛdome wɔn sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a metumi ne wɔn ako apam wɔn.”
12 Naye Katonda n’agamba Balamu nti, “Togenda na bantu abo. Abantu bali tekikugwanidde kubakolimira, kubanga baaweebwa omukisa.”
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Balaam se, “Nkɔ. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wodome wɔn, efisɛ mahyira wɔn!”
13 Enkeera mu makya Balamu n’azuukuka, n’agamba abakungu abaatumibwa Balaki nti, “Muddeeyo mu nsi yammwe, kubanga Mukama Katonda aŋŋaanye okugenda nammwe.”
Ade kyee anɔpa no, Balaam ka kyerɛɛ Balak nkurɔfo no se, “Monsan nkɔ fie! Awurade ampene sɛ me ne mo nkɔ.”
14 Abakungu aba Mowaabu ne bakomawo eri Balaki ne bamugamba nti, “Balamu yagaanye okujja naffe.”
Enti Balak mpanyimfo no san bɛbɔɔ amanneɛ se, “Balaam ne yɛn amma.”
15 Balaki ne yeeyongera okutuma abakungu abalala, nga baabitiibwa binene era nga bangi okusingako ku bali abaasooka.
Balak somaa nnipa dodow pa ara a anuonyamfo a wɔkyɛn kan dɔm no fra wɔn mu.
16 Ne bajja eri Balamu ne bamugamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Balaki mutabani wa Zipoli nti, ‘Nkwegayiridde, tokkiriza kintu kyonna kukuziyiza kujja gye ndi;
Wɔbaa Balaam nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛnea Sipor ba Balak se ni, ‘Mma biribiara nsiw wo kwan sɛ wobɛba me nkyɛn,
17 kubanga nzija kutumbula nnyo ekitiibwa kyo, era ŋŋenda kukukolera kyonna ky’ononsaba. Jjangu onkoliimiririre abantu bano.’”
efisɛ metua wo ka yiye. Bra na bɛdome saa nnipa no ma me.’”
18 Naye Balamu n’addamu abo Balaki be yatuma nti, “Balaki ne bw’alimpa enju ye ng’ejjudde ffeeza ne zaabu sigenda kukola kinene oba kitono nga kisukka ku kiragiro kya Mukama Katonda wange.
Nanso, Balaam buae se, “Sɛ Balak ma me dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛwɔ nʼahemfi hɔ nyinaa mpo a, merentumi nyɛ biribiara mmu saa ahyɛde a Awurade a ɔyɛ me Nyankopɔn no ahyɛ no so.
19 Kale nno musule wano olwa leero, nga bannammwe bwe baakola, nange mpulire Mukama Katonda ky’anaayongera okuŋŋamba.”
Nanso, monna ha mma ade nkye na yɛnhwɛ sɛ Awurade bɛka asɛm foforo bi aka nea waka dedaw no ho anaa.”
20 Mu kiro ekyo Katonda n’ajja eri Balamu n’amugamba nti, “Obanga abantu abo bakuddukidde, genda nabo, naye okole ekyo kyokka kye nnaakulagira okukola.”
Anadwo no, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Balaam se, “Esiane sɛ nnipa no abɛfrɛ wo no nti, Sɔre na wo ne saa nnipa no nkɔ na mmom, hwɛ yiye na yɛ nea mɛkyerɛ wo sɛ yɛ no nko ara.”
21 Balamu n’agolokoka mu makya, n’ateeka amatandiiko ku ndogoyi ye, n’agenda n’abakungu ba Mowaabu.
Ade kyee anɔpa no, ɔhyehyɛɛ nʼafurum, tenaa ne so ne Moab mpanyimfo no sii mu.
22 Naye Katonda n’asunguwala nnyo kubanga Balamu yagenda, malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’ayimirira mu kkubo okumuziyiza. Balamu yali yeebagadde endogoyi ye, abaweereza be babiri nabo baali naye.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn bo fuw Balaam ahopere a ɔde kɔe no; enti ɔsomaa Awurade bɔfo ma ogyinaa akwantemfi sɛ onsiw no kwan. Na Balaam te nʼafurum so a nʼasomfo baanu ka ne ho.
23 Endogoyi n’eraba malayika wa Mukama Katonda ng’ayimiridde mu kkubo, n’ekitala ekisowoddwa nga kiri mu mukono gwe; endogoyi n’ekyama n’eva mu kkubo n’eraga mu nnimiro. Balamu n’agikuba agizze mu kkubo.
Afurum no huu Awurade bɔfo no sɛ okura afoa gyina kwan no mfimfini no, ɔman faa wuram. Balaam hwee no sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛfa ɔkwan no so.
24 Malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’ayimirira mu kakubo akafunda akayita wakati w’ennimiro z’emizabbibu nga ziriko ekisenge ku buli luuyi.
Na Awurade ɔbɔfo no gyina ɔkwan hiahiaa bi a ɛwɔ bobeturo afasu abien ntam.
25 Endogoyi bwe yalaba malayika wa Mukama Katonda ne yeenyigiriza ku kisenge, n’ebetenterako ekigere kya Balamu. N’ayongera okugikuba.
Bere a afurum no huu Awurade bɔfo no, otwerii ɔfasu no ho maa Balaam nan pemee. Enti Balaam san hwee aboa no.
26 Malayika wa Mukama Katonda ne yeeyongerayo mu maaso, n’ayimirira mu kakubo akafunda ennyo, awataali kabanga ka kwekyusizaamu kulaga ku mukono ogwa ddyo wadde ku gwa kkono.
Afei, Awurade bɔfo no kɔɔ nʼanim kogyinaa baabi a ɛhɔ kyere pa ara a na afurum no nnya baabi nnan ne ho mfa nifa anaa benkum.
27 Endogoyi bwe yalaba malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’egalamira wansi, nga Balamu ye agituddeko; obusungu bwa Balamu ne bubuubuuka, n’akuba endogoyi n’omuggo gwe.
Enti obutuw ɔkwan no mu. Balaam bo fuw yiye ma ɔde abaa no hwee no.
28 Awo Mukama Katonda n’ayasamya akamwa k’endogoyi, n’egamba Balamu nti, “Nkukoze ki okunkuba emirundi gino gyonsatule?”
Afei, Awurade buee afurum no ano, na obisaa Balaam se, “Mayɛ wo dɛn na nti a wohwe me mprɛnsa saa?”
29 Balamu n’agamba endogoyi nti, “Kubanga onfudde atategeera! Singa mbadde n’ekitala mu mukono gwange nandikuttiddewo kaakano.”
Balaam nso buaa no se, “Woama mayɛ ɔkwasea! Na sɛ mikura afoa a, anka mekum wo mprempren.”
30 Endogoyi n’egamba Balamu nti, “Siri ndogoyi yo gye weebagadde ebbanga lyonna n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero? Ebadde mpisa yange okukukola bwe nti?” Balamu n’addamu nti, “Nedda.”
Afurum no nso bisaa no se, “Menyɛ wʼafurum a woatena me so daa de abesi nnɛ? So mayɛ sɛɛ pɛn?” Obuae se, “Dabi.”
31 Awo Mukama Katonda n’alyoka azibula amaaso ga Balamu, n’alaba malayika wa Mukama ng’ayimiridde wakati mu kkubo n’ekitala ekisowoddwa nga kiri mu mukono gwe. N’awunzika omutwe gwe, ne yeevuunika wansi n’avuunama.
Afei, Awurade buee Balaam ani ma ohuu ɔsoro bɔfo no sɛ watwe afoa gyina ɔkwan no mfimfini. Enti ɔde nʼanim butuw fam.
32 Malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Lwaki endogoyi ogikubye emirundi egyo gyonsatule? Laba, nzize okukuziyiza kubanga ekkubo ly’okutte terinsanyusa.
Awurade bɔfo no bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na woahwe wʼafurum no mprɛnsa saa? Maba sɛ merebesiw wo kwan, efisɛ wʼakwan mu no wunni ahwɛyie wɔ mʼanim.
33 Endogoyi yandabye n’enneebalama emirundi egyo esatu. Singa teyanneebalamye, nandibadde ggwe nkusse, naye yo nga ngirese.”
Afurum no huu me a ɔman faa nkyɛn mprɛnsa. Sɛ wamman a, anka mekum wo na magyaa no.”
34 Balamu n’agamba malayika wa Mukama Katonda nti, “Nnyonoonye. Saategedde nti ggwe oyimiridde mu kkubo okunziyiza. Kale nno nga kye nkoze bwe kitakusanyusizza, ka nzireyo eka.”
Balaam ka kyerɛɛ Awurade bɔfo no se, “Mafom. Na minnim sɛ wugyina ɔkwan no mu a worebesiw me kwan. Sɛ wʼani nnye ho a mɛsan akɔ.”
35 Malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’agamba Balamu nti, “Genda n’abasajja abo, naye ebigambo bye nnaakulagira bye byokka by’oba oyogera.” Bw’atyo Balamu n’agenda n’abakungu ba Balaki.
Awurade bɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo ne nnipa no nkɔ, nanso asɛm a mɛka akyerɛ wo no nko ara na ka.” Enti Balaam ne Balak mpanyimfo no kɔe.
36 Balaki bwe yawulira nga Balamu ajja, n’afuluma okugenda okumusisinkana mu kibuga kya Mowaabu ekiri ku nsalo ya Alumoni, ku nkomerero y’amatwale ge.
Bere a Balak tee sɛ Balaam reba no, ofii kurow no mu kohyiaa no wɔ Moabfo kurow mu wɔ Arnon hye so, wɔ nʼasase ano.
37 Balaki n’agamba Balamu nti, “Saakutumira nga nkuyita ojje ku bwange? Lwaki tewajja gye ndi? Olowooza siyinza kukuwa bitiibwa bingi?”
Balak bisaa Balaam se, “Mamfrɛ wo ɔhare so ana? Adɛn nti na woamma me nkyɛn? So merentumi ntua wo ka ana?”
38 Balamu n’addamu nti, “Nzuuno kaakano nzize gy’oli! Naye olowooza nnina obuyinza okwogera kyonna kye njagala? Nteekwa okwogera ebyo byokka Katonda by’anassa mu kamwa kange.”
Balaam buae se, “Ɛwɔ mu sɛ maba de, nanso merentumi nka nea mepɛ biara. Asɛm a Onyankopɔn de bɛhyɛ mʼano no nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ meka.”
39 Bw’atyo Balamu n’agenda ne Balaki ne bajja e Kiriasikuzosi.
Balaam kaa Balak ho ne no kɔɔ Kiria-Husot.
40 Balaki n’awaayo ekiweebwayo eky’ente n’endiga, n’aweerezaako ne ku Balamu n’abakungu abaali naye.
Balak kum anantwi ne nguan bɔɔ afɔre na ɔde mmoa no bi maa Balaam ne ne mpanyimfo a wɔka ne ho.
41 Enkeera Balaki n’atwala Balamu n’amulinnyisa ku bifo bya Bamosi Baali, n’asinziira awo okulengera ku kitundu eky’abantu ba Isirayiri abaali okumpi.
Ade kyee anɔpa no, Balak faa Balaam de no kɔɔ Bamot-Baal atifi. Ofi hɔ too nʼani huu sɛ Israelfo no sam wɔn atenae hɔ.
