1 Bharamu akati, “Ndivakirei aritari nomwe pano, mugondigadzirira hando nomwe namakondobwe manomwe.”
Balaam ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Si afɔrebukyia nson wɔ ha, na siesie anantwie mma nson ne nnwennini nson fa wɔn bɔ afɔdeɛ.”
2 Bharaki akaita sezvakataurwa naBharamu, uye vose vari vaviri vakabayira hando negondobwe paaritari imwe neimwe.
Balak tiee Balaam asɛm no, enti ɔde nantwie ba ne odwennini ba bɔɔ afɔrebukyia nson no biara so afɔdeɛ.
3 Ipapo Bharamu akati kuna Bharaki, “Gara pano parutivi pechipiriso chako, ini ndimbotsaukira parutivi apa. Zvichida Jehovha angauya kuzosangana neni. Zvose zvaanondiratidza, ndichazokuudza.” Ipapo akabva akaenda pakakwirira, pakanga pasina chinhu.
Afei Balaam ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Sɔre gyina wo ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no ho na mɛhwɛ sɛ Awurade bɛhyia me, na asɛm a ɔbɛka akyerɛ me no nso, mɛka akyerɛ wo.” Enti, ɔforo kɔɔ apampam baabi.
4 Mwari akasangana naye, Bharamu akati, “Ndagadzira aritari nomwe uye paaritari imwe neimwe ndabayira hando negondobwe.”
Ɛhɔ na Onyankopɔn hyiaa no. Balaam ka kyerɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Masiesie afɔrebukyia nson. Mabɔ afɔrebukyia no biara so nantwie ba ne odwennini ba afɔdeɛ.”
5 Jehovha akaisa shoko mumuromo waBharamu akati, “Dzokera kuna Bharaki utaure kwaari shoko iri.”
Afei, Awurade de nkra maa Balaam sɛ ɔnkɔka nkyerɛ ɔhene Balak.
6 Saka akadzokera kwaari akamuwana amire parutivi rwechipiriso chake, ana machinda ose eMoabhu.
Ɛberɛ a Balaam sane baeɛ no, na ɔhene no ne ahenemma a wɔfiri Moab no gyina ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no ho.
7 Ipapo Bharamu akataura chirevo chake akati: “Bharaki akanditora kubva kuAramu, iye mambo weMoabhu kubva kumakomo okumabvazuva. Akati, ‘Uya unditukirewo Jakobho; uya, utsoropodze Israeri.’
Nkɔmhyɛ a Balaam de maaeɛ no nie: “Ɔhene Balak soma bɛfrɛɛ me firii Aram. Moabhene frɛɛ me firii apueeɛ fam nkokoɔ so. Ɔkaa sɛ, ‘Bra bɛdome Yakob ma me! Bra bɛka mmusuo a ɛbɛba Israelfoɔ so.’
8 Ndingatuka seiko avo vasina kutukwa naMwari? Ndingatsoropodza seiko avo vasina kutsoropodzwa naJehovha?
Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi madome wɔn a Onyankopɔn nnomee wɔn? Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi abu wɔn fɔ, nnipa a Awurade mmuu wɔn fɔ?
9 Ndiri pamusoro pamatombo, ndinovaona, ndiri pakakwirira, ndinovaona. Ndinoona vanhu vanogara vari voga uye havazviverengi pakati pendudzi.
Mehunu wɔn firi abotan atifi; mehwɛ wɔn firi nkokoɔ so. Mehunu nnipa a wɔte wɔn ho ase, a wɔayi wɔn afiri amanaman mu.
10 Ndianiko angaverenga guruva raJakobho kana kuverenga chikamu chechina chaIsraeri? Regai ndife rufu rwowakarurama, uye kuguma kwangu ngakuve sokwavo!”
Hwan na ɔbɛtumi akan Yakob asefoɔ, wɔdɔɔso sɛ mfuturo? Hwan na ɔbɛtumi akan Israelfoɔ nkyɛmu ɛnan mu baako? Ma menwu sɛ ɔteneneeni; na mawieɛ nyɛ sɛ wɔn deɛ.”
11 Bharaki akati kuna Bharamu, “Waiteiko kwandiri? Ndakakutora kuti uzotuka vavengi vangu, asi hauna chinhu chawaita asi kutovaropafadza!”
Ɔhene Balak bisaa Balaam sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na woayɛ me yi? Mede wo baa sɛ bɛdome mʼatamfoɔ, nanso woahyira wɔn!”
12 Iye akapindura akati, “Ko, handifaniri kuti nditaure zvaiswa mumuromo mangu naJehovha here?”
Nanso, Balaam buaa sɛ, “Metumi aka biribi a Awurade nkaa sɛ menka anaa?”
13 Ipapo Bharaki akati kwaari, “Uya uende neni kune imwe nzvimbo yaunogona kuvaona; uchangoona chikamu chavo asi kwete vose. Uye uri ipapo ugonditukira vanhu ava.”
Afei, Balak ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Bra na yɛnkɔ baabi foforɔ. Yɛduru hɔ a, wobɛhunu ɔman Israel fa bi wɔ hɔ. Dome wɔn a wobɛhu wɔn wɔ hɔ no nyinaa.”
14 Saka akamutora akaenda naye kumunda waZofimi pamusoro pePisiga, uye akavaka aritari nomwe ipapo akabayira hando negondobwe paaritari imwe neimwe.
Ɔhene Balak faa Balaam de no kɔɔ Sofim bepɔ Pisga atifi. Ɔsii afɔrebukyia nson wɔ hɔ. Ɛnna ɔde nantwie ba ne odwennini bɔɔ afɔrebukyia biara so afɔdeɛ.
15 Bharamu akati kuna Bharaki, “Gara pano iwe parutivi rwechipiriso chako ini ndichindosangana naye uko.”
Afei, Balaam ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Gyina wo ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no ho wɔ ha na me nso merekɔhyia Awurade.”
16 Jehovha akasangana naBharamu akaisa shoko mumuromo make akati, “Dzokera kuna Bharaki undotaura mashoko aya.”
Awurade hyiaa Balaam na ɔkaa asɛm a ɔnkɔka kyerɛɛ no.
17 Saka akadzokera kwaari akamuwana amire parutivi rwechipiriso chake, ana machinda eMoabhu. Bharaki akamubvunza akati, “Jehovha ati kudiniko?”
Enti, ɔsane baa baabi a ɔhene no ne Moab ahenemma no wɔ a wɔgyina wɔn ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no ho. Ɔhene no de ahopere bisaa sɛ, “Awurade aka sɛn?”
18 Ipapo akataura chirevo chake akati: “Simuka, Bharaki, uye uteerere; ndinzwe, iwe mwanakomana waZipori.
Nkɔmhyɛ a Balaam de maaeɛ no nie: “Balak, sɔre na tie; Sipor babarima tie me.
19 Mwari haasi munhu, kuti angareva nhema, uye mwanakomana womunhu kuti ashandure pfungwa dzake. Ko, anotaura akasazviita here? Anovimbisa akasazadzisa here?
Onyankopɔn nnyɛ onipa na wadi atorɔ; Ɔnyɛ onipa na wasesa nʼadwene. Wakasa a wanyɛ anaa? Wahyɛ bɔ bi pɛn a wanni so anaa?
20 Ndakagamuchira murayiro wokuti ndiropafadze; iye aropafadza, uye ini handigoni kuzvishandura.
Wɔhyɛɛ me sɛ menhyira; wahyira, na merentumi nnane no!
21 “Haana kuona chakaipa kuna Jakobho, hapana chakashata chakaonekwa muIsraeri. Jehovha Mwari wavo anavo; kudanidzira kwaMambo kuri pakati pavo.
“Menhunu amanehunu bi a ɛbɛba Yakob so. Ɔhaw biara nni hɔ mma Israel! Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn ka wɔn ho. Ɔne wɔn ɔhene!
22 Mwari akavabudisa muIjipiti; vane simba renyati.
Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn afiri Misraim; ɔte sɛ nantwie hoɔdenfoɔ ma wɔn.
23 Hapana unʼanga hungarwa naJakobho, hapana kuvuka kunorwa naIsraeri. Zvino zvichanzi pamusoro paJakobho, napamusoro paIsraeri, ‘Tarirai zvaitwa naMwari!’
Nnome biara renka Yakob, abayisɛm biara nni tumi wɔ Israel so. Na wɔbɛka wɔ Yakob ho sɛ, ‘Hwɛ anwanwadeɛ a Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama Israel!’
24 Vanhu vanosimuka seshumba hadzi; vanozvisimudza seshumba isingazorori kusvikira yadya chayauraya uye igonwa ropa rezvayabata.”
Saa nnipa yi sɔre sɛ gyataburu. Wɔgyina hɔ sɛ gyata hoɔdenfoɔ. Ɔnnye nʼahome kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛwe nʼahaboa awie na wanom ne mogya nyinaa!”
25 Ipapo Bharaki akati kuna Bharamu, “Usatombovatuka kana kuvaropafadza napaduku!”
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Balaam sɛ, “Sɛ worennome wɔn a, ɛnneɛ nhyira wɔn.”
26 Asi Bharamu akapindura akati, “Handina kukuudza here kuti ndinofanira kuita zvose zvinotaurwa naJehovha?”
Nanso Balaam buaa no sɛ, “Manka ankyerɛ wo sɛ asɛm a Awurade bɛka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no na mɛka?”
27 Ipapo Bharaki akati kuna Bharamu, “Uya, ndiende newe kune imwe nzvimbo. Zvimwe Mwari achafara nazvo kuti unditukire vanhu ava ikoko.”
Afei, ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Balaam sɛ, “Mede wo bɛkɔ baabi foforɔ. Ebia, ɛhɔ bɛyɛ anisɔ ama Onyankopɔn sɛ wobɛgyina hɔ adome wɔn.”
28 Saka Bharaki akatora Bharamu akakwira naye pamusoro pePeori pakatarisana nerenje.
Enti, ɔhene Balak faa Balaam de no kɔɔ bepɔ Peor a ani kyerɛ anweatam no atifi pɛɛ so.
29 Bharamu akati, “Ndivakire aritari nomwe pano, ugogadzira hando nomwe namakondobwe manomwe.”
Bio, Balaam ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ ɔnsi afɔrebukyia nson na ɔnsiesie nantwie mma nson ne nnwennini mma nson mma afɔrebɔ.
30 Bharaki akaita sezvakanga zvataurwa naBharamu, akabayira hando negondobwe paaritari imwe neimwe.
Ɔhene no yɛɛ deɛ Balaam kaeɛ no, enti ɔde nantwie ba ne odwennini ba bɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia nson no biara so.
