Amanani 24

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

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.

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

12 UBalami wasesithi kuBalaki: Kangikhulumanga yini lakuzithunywa obuzithume kimi ngisithi:

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

19 kuzavela-ke koJakobe umbusi, njalo uzabhubhisa oseleyo emzini.

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

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

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.

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

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.

22 Kanti-ke uKhayini uzachithwa, aze akuthumbe uAshuri.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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