“Ŋutsu si ƒe voku gbã alo ŋutsu si ƒe ŋutsu wolã la mekpɔ mɔ age ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la o.
2 Ozelwe ngobufebe angangeni ebandleni leNkosi; ngitsho isizukulwana sakhe setshumi kasiyikungena ebandleni leNkosi.
Ahasivi aɖeke ŋutɔ alo eƒe dzidzimevi siwo anɔ dzidzime gbãtɔ va se ɖe ewolia dzi me la mekpɔ mɔ age ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la o.
3 UmAmoni lomMowabi kangangeni ebandleni leNkosi; ngitsho isizukulwana sabo setshumi kasiyikungena ebandleni leNkosi, kuze kube laphakade;
“Amonitɔ alo Moabtɔ aɖeke, le dzidzime ewolia megbe gɔ̃ hã mekpɔ mɔ age ɖe kɔkɔeƒe la o.
4 ngenxa yokuthi kabalihlangabezanga endleleni ngesinkwa langamanzi ekuphumeni kwenu eGibhithe; futhi ngoba baqhatsha ukumelana lawe uBalami indodana kaBeyori owePethori oweMesopotamiya ukuze akuqalekise.
Nu si ta mede se sia ɖoe nye be, dukɔ siawo mena nuɖuɖu kple tsi mí esi mietso Egipte va ɖo wo gbɔ o. Gawu la, woxe fe na Balaam, Beor ƒe viŋutsu, tso Petor le Aram Naharaim be wòaƒo fi ade mí.
5 Kodwa iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho kayifunanga ukuzwa uBalami; kodwa iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yaphendula isiqalekiso saba yisibusiso kuwe, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yakuthanda.
Yehowa wò Mawu meɖo to Balaam o, ke boŋ etrɔ fi si wòdi be yeaƒo ade mí la wòzu yayra na mí, elabena Yehowa lɔ̃ mí.
6 Kawuyikudinga ukuthula kwabo lokuhle kwabo zonke izinsuku zakho, kuze kube laphakade.
Ŋkeke ale si miele agbe la, mele be miana kpekpeɖeŋu aɖeke Amoritɔwo kple Moabtɔwo akpɔ o.
7 Unganengwa ngumEdoma, ngoba ungumfowenu; unganengwa ngumGibhithe, ngoba wawungowemzini elizweni lakhe.
Ke migado vlo Edomtɔwo kple Egiptetɔwo ya o. Mia nɔviwoe nye Edomtɔwo, eye mienɔ Egiptetɔwo dome kpɔ.
8 Abantwana abazalwa yibo, besizukulwana sesithathu sabo, bangangena ebandleni leNkosi.
Egiptetɔwo ƒe dzidzimevi siwo va kpli mi la kpɔ mɔ age ɖe Yehowa ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la.”
9 Lapho inkamba iphuma ukuyamelana lezitha zakho, uzazigcina kuyo yonke into embi.
“Ne mieyi aʋa la, ŋutsu siwo le asaɖa la me la mekpɔ mɔ awɔ nu vɔ̃ aɖeke o.
10 Uba ekhona phakathi kwenu umuntu ongahlambulukanga ngenxa yokungcola okwehla ebusuku, uzaphumela ngaphandle kwenkamba, angangeni phakathi kwenkamba.
Ele be ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe si gblẽ kɔ ɖo na eɖokui to ŋutsutsinyenye me le zã me la nado le asaɖa la me,
11 Kodwa kuzakuthi sekuzakuhlwa uzageza ngamanzi, lalapho ilanga selitshonile angene aye phakathi kwenkamba.
anɔ asaɖa la godo va se ɖe fiẽ, ekema ale tsi, eye wòatrɔ ava asaɖa la me ne ɣe ɖo to.
12 Njalo uzakuba lendawo ngaphandle kwenkamba lapho ozaphumela khona ukuya ngaphandle,
Woawɔ afɔdzideƒe ɖe asaɖa la godo.
13 ube lesikhonkwane ezikhalini zakho; njalo kuzakuthi usuye ngaphandle, ugebhe ngaso, uphenduke ugqibele okuphume kuwe.
Ele be sofi nanɔ ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe si. Ne ede afɔdzi la, ele be wòatsɔ sofi la, eye wòaku ke atsyɔ afɔdzi la dzi.
14 Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho iyahamba phakathi kwenkamba yakho, ukukukhulula, lokunikela izitha zakho phambi kwakho. Ngakho inkamba yakho izakuba ngcwele, ukuze ingaboni lutho oluyangisayo phakathi kwakho, ikufulathele.
Ele be asaɖa la me nanɔ kɔkɔe, elabena Yehowa miaƒe Mawu zɔna le mia dome be yeadzɔ mia ŋu, eye yeana miaƒe futɔwo nade ta agu na mi. Yehowa medi be yeakpɔ nu nyɔŋu aɖeke ne yeatrɔ adzo le mia gbɔ o.”
15 Unganikeli enkosini yaso isigqili esibalekele kuwe sisuka enkosini yaso;

“Ŋutsu alo nyɔnu si nye gbolo la mekpɔ mɔ anɔ Israelnyigba dzi o.
18 Ungalethi iholo lewule lemali yenja endlini yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngokwaloba yisiphi isithembiso; ngoba lokho kokubili kuyisinengiso eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho.
Mègaxɔ nunana aɖeke tso gbolo aɖeke ƒe gboloho me alo tso ŋutsu siwo dɔa ŋutsuwo gbɔ la ƒe ahasiho me atsɔ na Yehowa o, elabena ame ƒomevi eve siawo nye ŋunyɔ na Yehowa, wò Mawu la.
19 Ungeboleki umfowenu ngenzalo, inzalo yemali, inzalo yokudla, inzalo yaloba yiyiphi into ebolekwa ngenzalo.
“Mègaxɔ deme ɖe nu si nèdo na nɔviwò, Israelvi la ta o, eɖanye ga, nuɖuɖu alo nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe o.
20 Ungeboleka owezizweni ngenzalo, kodwa ungeboleki umfowenu ngenzalo, ukuze iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ikubusise kukho konke ofaka isandla sakho kukho elizweni oya kulo ukudla ilifa lalo.

21 Nxa uthembisa isithembiso eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, ungaphuzi ukusikhokha; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho izasibiza lokusibiza kuwe; njalo kuzakuba yisono kuwe.
“Ne èɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa, wò Mawu la, ele be nàtso ɖe nu si ŋugbe nèdo nɛ la wɔwɔ ŋu kaba, elabena Yehowa bia be nàxe wò adzɔgbeɖefewo kaba. Ne mèwɔ se sia dzi o la, èwɔ nu vɔ̃.
22 Kodwa uba uyekela ukuthembisa, kakuyikuba yisono kuwe.
Ke ne mèɖe adzɔgbe kura o la, mèwɔ nu vɔ̃ o.
23 Lokho okuphuma endebeni zakho uzakugcina ukwenze; njengokuthembisa kwakho eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, umnikelo wesihle owukhulume ngomlomo wakho.
Ne ènya ɖe adzɔgbe ko la, ele be nàkpɔ egbɔ be yewɔ nu si ŋugbe nèdo be yeawɔ la kokoko, elabena wò ŋutɔe tia nu si nàwɔ, eye Yehowa, wò Mawu lae nèɖe adzɔgbe na.
24 Nxa ungena esivinini somakhelwane wakho, ungadla izithelo zevini njengokuthanda kwakho usuthe; kodwa ungafaki lutho esitsheni sakho.
“Ne èyi ame bubu aɖe ƒe waingble me la, àte ŋu aɖu eƒe waintsetse aɖi ƒo, gake mèkpɔ mɔ atsɔ ɖeke ade naneke me adzoe o.
25 Nxa ungena emabeleni amileyo kamakhelwane wakho, ungakha izikhwebu ngesandla sakho; kodwa ungangenisi isikela emabeleni amileyo kamakhelwane wakho.
Se ma kee le bli hã ŋuti; àte ŋu atsɔ asi aŋe bli ʋɛ aɖewo, gake mègatsɔ nuŋehɛ aŋe hawòvi ƒe bli o.”
