Nagra have agonareti kefenkamu atre'na Israeli vahera zamage'noe. Zamagra mani ruotage hu'za Anumzamofo vahe mani'ne'za zamarimpa frune mani'naze.
10 Ngubani ongabala uthuli lukaJakobe, lenani lengxenye yesine kaIsrayeli? Umphefumulo wami kawufe ukufa kwabalungileyo, lokuphela kwami kube njengokwakhe!

19 UNkulunkulu kasumuntu ukuthi aqambe amanga, loba indodana yomuntu ukuthi azisole. Utshilo, kanti kayikukwenza? Kumbe ukhulumile, kanti kayikukuqinisa?

26 Kodwa uBalami waphendula wathi kuBalaki: Kangikutshelanga yini ngisithi: Konke iNkosi ekutshoyo, lokho ngizakwenza?
Hianagi Balamu'a amanage huno Balakina asami'ne, Ra Anumzamo'ma huoma huno hunante'nia zana hugahue hu'na kasami'nofi onkasami'noe?
27 UBalaki wasesithi kuBalami: Ake uze, ngizakusa kwenye indawo; mhlawumbe kungaqonda emehlweni kaNkulunkulu ukuthi ungiqalekisele bona ulapho.
Hagi Balaki'a anage huno Balamunkura hu'ne, Antureti'ma Ra Anumzamo'a musema huno'ma kazusima huzamantenigu ege'na kavre'na vaneno.
28 UBalaki wamthatha wamusa uBalami engqongeni yePeyori ekhangele ngasenkangala.
Hagi Balamuna avreno Peori agonare vigeno, ka'ma kokana ke'ne
29 UBalami wasesithi kuBalaki: Ngakhela lapha amalathi ayisikhombisa, ungilungisele lapha amajongosi ayisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa.
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.
30 UBalaki wasesenza njengokutsho kukaBalami, wanikela ijongosi lenqama kulelo lalelo ilathi.
Higeno Balamu'ma asmiaza huno Balaki'a, Ana 7ni'a itarera mago mago ve bulimakaone, mago mago ve sipisipine aheno kresramna vutere hu'ne.
