Lakkoobsa 24
1 Balaʼaam yeroo akka Israaʼelin eebbisuun Waaqayyoon gammachiise argetti akka yeroo kaanii falfala barbaacha hin dhaqne; garuu fuula isaa gara gammoojjiitti deebifate.
UBalami esebonile ukuthi kuhle emehlweni eNkosi ukubusisa uIsrayeli, kahambanga njengezinye izikhathi ukuyadinga imilingo; kodwa wakhangelisa ubuso bakhe enkangala.
2 Yommuu Balaʼaam ol milʼatee akka Israaʼel gosa gosaan qubate argetti Hafuurri Waaqaa isa irra buʼe;
Kwathi uBalami ephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona uIsrayeli ehlezi ngokwezizwe zakhe, loMoya kaNkulunkulu waba phezu kwakhe.
3 innis akkana jedhee ergaa isaa dubbate: “Ergaa Balaʼaam ilma Beʼoor, ergaa nama iji isaa sirriitti arguu,
Wasephakamisa umfanekiso wakhe wathi: UBalami indodana kaBeyori uthi, lendoda olihlo layo livulekile ithi,
4 ergaa nama dubbii Waaqaa dhagaʼuu isa Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu irraa mulʼata argu kan kufee iji isaa banamu sanaa:
uthi ozwayo amazwi kaNkulunkulu, obonayo umbono kaSomandla, esiwa, njalo kwembulwe amehlo.
5 “Yaa Yaaqoob, dunkaanonni kee, Yaa Israaʼel, iddoon ati jiraattu akkam miidhaga!
Mahle kangakanani amathente akho, Jakobe, amakhaya akho, Israyeli!
6 “Isaan akkuma sulula diriiraa, akkuma iddoo biqiltuu kan afaan lagaa, akkuma argeessa Waaqayyo dhaabee, akkuma birbirsaa qarqara bishaanii ti.
Njengezigodi zisabalele, njengezivande ngasemfuleni, njengezinhlaba iNkosi ezihlanyeleyo, njengezihlahla zemisedari ngasemanzini!
7 Okolee isaa keessaa bishaantu lolaʼa; sanyiin isaa bishaan baayʼee argata. “Mootiin isaa Agaag caala; mootummaan isaa ni kabajama.
Amanzi azageleza evela embizeni zakhe, lenhlanyelo yakhe izakuba semanzini amanengi, lenkosi yakhe izakuba nkulu kuloAgagi, lombuso wakhe uzaphakama.
8 “Waaqayyo Gibxii isa baase; inni jabina akka jabina gafarsaa qaba. Inni saba diinota isaa taʼe nyaata; lafee isaanii ni caccabsa; xiyya ofii isaatiin isaan waraana.
UNkulunkulu wamkhupha eGibhithe, ulokunjengamandla enyathi, uzakudla izizwe, izitha zakhe, njalo uzakwephula amathambo azo, njalo azitshoke ngemitshoko yakhe.
9 Inni akkuma leencaa ciiseera; akkuma leenca dhalaas ciiseera; eenyutu isa dammaqsa? “Warri si eebbisan haa eebbifaman; warri si abaaranis haa abaaraman!”
Waqutha, walala phansi njengesilwane, lanjengesilwane esisikazi; ngubani ozamvusa? Okubusisayo abusiswe, lokuqalekisayo aqalekiswe!
10 Baalaaq Balaʼaamitti aare. Innis harka ofii isaa walitti rurrukutee Balaʼaamiin akkana jedhe; “Ani akka ati diina koo abaartuufan si waammadhe; ati kunoo yeroo sadan kana isaan eebbifte.
Njalo ulaka lukaBalaki lwavuthela uBalami, watshaya izandla zakhe, uBalaki wasesithi kuBalami: Ngikubize ukuze uqalekise izitha zami, kodwa khangela, uzibusisile lokuzibusisa okwalezizikhathi ezintathu.
11 Amma dafii asii deemii mana keetti gali! Ani ulfina guddaa siif nan kenna jedheen ture; amma garuu Waaqayyo akka ati ulfina hin arganne si godheera.”
Khathesi-ke zibalekele uye endaweni yakho. Bengithe ngizakuhlonipha ngodumo, kodwa khangela, iNkosi ikuvimbile kudumo.
12 Balaʼaamis Baalaaqiin akkana jedhe; “Ani ergamoota ati natti ergite sanatti akkana jedheen hime mitii?
UBalami wasesithi kuBalaki: Kangikhulumanga yini lakuzithunywa obuzithume kimi ngisithi:
13 ‘Utuu Baalaaq masaraa meetii fi warqeen guutame sana naaf kennee iyyuu, ani waanuma Waaqayyo jedhe qofan dubbadha malee ajaja Waaqayyootiin alatti waan yaada koo gaarii yookaan hamaa tokko iyyuu hojjechuu hin dandaʼu.’
Uba uBalaki ebezangipha indlu yakhe igcwele isiliva legolide, bengingayikweqa umlayo weNkosi, ukwenza okuhle kumbe okubi okwenhliziyo yami; lokho iNkosi ekutshoyo yilokho engizakukhuluma?
14 Kunoo ani amma saba kootti nan deebiʼa; garuu mee kottu ani waan sabni kun bara dhufu keessa saba keetiif godhu sin beeksisaa.”
Khathesi-ke, khangela, ngiya ebantwini bakithi; woza ngikucebise ukuthi lababantu bazakwenzani ebantwini bakini ensukwini zokucina.
15 Inni akkana jedhee ergaa isaa dubbate: Ergaa Balaʼaam ilma Beʼoor, ergaa nama iji isaa sirriitti arguu,
Wasephakamisa umfanekiso wakhe wathi: UBalami indodana kaBeyori uthi, lendoda elamehlo avulekileyo ithi,
16 ergaa nama dubbii Waaqaa dhagaʼuu kan beekumsa Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii qabu kan Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu irraa mulʼata argu kan kufee diriiruu, iji isaas kan banamu sanaa:
uthi ozwayo amazwi kaNkulunkulu, lowazi ulwazi loPhezukonke, obonayo umbono kaSomandla, esiwa, njalo kuvuleke amehlo.
17 “Ani isa nan arga; garuu amma miti; ani isa nan ilaala; garuu dhiʼootti miti. Yaaqoob keessaa urjiin tokko ni baʼa; Israaʼel keessaa bokkuun tokko ol kaʼa. Inni adda warra Moʼaab, buqqee mataa ilmaan Seet hundaas ni caccabsa.
Ngizambona, kodwa hatshi khathesi, ngizamkhangela, kodwa kungeseduze; kuzavela inkanyezi kuJakobe, lentonga yobukhosi izavuka koIsrayeli, itshaye amagumbi akoMowabi, njalo ichithe bonke abantwana bakaShethi.
18 Edoom ni moʼatama; Seeʼiir, diinni isaa ni moʼatama; Israaʼel garuu jabaachaa deema.
Njalo uEdoma uzakuba yimfuyo, loSeyiri abe yimfuyo yezitha zakhe, kodwa uIsrayeli uzakwenza ngobuqhawe,
19 Yaaqoob keessaa bulchaan tokko ni kaʼa; warra magaalaa sana keessatti lubbuudhaan hafanis ni barbadeessa.”
kuzavela-ke koJakobe umbusi, njalo uzabhubhisa oseleyo emzini.
20 Ergasiis Balaʼaam Amaaleqin argee akkana jedhee ergaa ofii isa dubbate: “Amaaleq saboota keessaa kan jalqabaa ture; dhumni isaa garuu barbadaaʼuu dha.”
Esebone uAmaleki, waphakamisa umfanekiso wakhe wathi: UAmaleki wayengowokuqala wezizwe, kodwa ukucina kwakhe kuyikubhubha okupheleleyo.
21 Ergasii Qeenota argee akkana jedhee ergaa ofii isaa itti dubbate: “Iddoon ati jiraattu jabaa dha; manni kees kattaa keessatti ijaarame;
Esebone amaKeni, waphakamisa umfanekiso wakhe wathi: Iqinile indlu yakho, isidleke sakho usimise edwaleni.
22 taʼus isin warri Qeenotaa, gaafa Asoor isin boojiʼu ni baddu.”
Kanti-ke uKhayini uzachithwa, aze akuthumbe uAshuri.
23 Innis akkana jedhee ergaa isaa itti dubbate: “Wayyoo! Yeroo Waaqayyo waan kana hojjetu eenyutu jiraachuu dandaʼa?
Wasephakamisa umfanekiso wakhe wathi: Maye, ngubani ozaphila nxa uNkulunkulu esenza lokhu?
24 Dooniiwwan qarqara Kitiim irraa ni dhufu; isaanis Asoorii fi Eeberin ni qabatu; garuu isaanis ni barbadeeffamu.”
Imikhumbi izavela ekhunjini lweKitimi, ihluphe uAshuri, ihluphe uEberi; njalo laye uzabhubha okwesikhathi sonke.
25 Ergasii Balaʼaam kaʼee mana ofii isaatti deebiʼe; Baalaaq immoo karaa ofii isaa qajeele.
UBalami wasesukuma wahamba wabuyela endaweni yakhe; loBalaki laye wahamba ngendlela yakhe.
