1 Zvino Bharamu akati aona kuti zvinofadza Jehovha kuti aropafadze Israeri, haana kuzoita zvouroyi sepane dzimwe nguva, asi akaringisa chiso chake kurenje.
Tsopano Balaamu ataona kuti kunakomera Yehova kudalitsa Israeli, sanapitenso ku mawula monga ankachitira kale, koma kuyangʼana ku chipululu.
2 Bharamu akati atarisa kunze akaona vaIsraeri vagere pamusasa, rudzi norudzi, Mweya waMwari wakauya pamusoro pake
Balaamu atayangʼana, anaona Aisraeli atamanga misasa yawo fuko ndi fuko. Pamenepo mzimu wa Mulungu unabwera pa iye
3 uye akataura chirevo chake achiti: “Chirevo chaBharamu mwanakomana waBheori, chirevo chaiye ana meso anonyatsoona,
ndipo ananena uthenga wake: “Uthenga wa Balaamu mwana wa Beori, uthenga wa amene diso lake ndi lotsekuka,
4 chirevo chaiye anonzwa mashoko aMwari, anoona chiratidzo chinobva kuna Wamasimba Ose, anowira pasi nedumbu rake, uye ana meso akasvinura.
uthenga wa amene amamva mawu a Mulungu, yemwe amaona masomphenya wochokera kwa Wamphamvuzonse, yemwe amagwa chafufumimba, koma maso ake ali chipenyere:
5 “Matende ako akanaka seiko, iwe Jakobho, nougaro hwako, iwe Israeri!
“Matenti ako ndi okongola kwambiri iwe Yakobo, misasa yako, iwe Israeli!
6 “Semipata, vakaita fararira, samapindu pedyo norwizi, segavakava rakasimwa naJehovha, s semisidhari pedyo nemvura.
“Monga zigwa zotambalala, monga minda mʼmbali mwa mtsinje, monga aloe wodzalidwa ndi Yehova, monga mikungudza mʼmbali mwa madzi.
7 Mvura ichayerera ichibva muzvirongo zvavo; mbeu dzavo dzichawana mvura yakawanda. “Mambo wavo achava mukuru kupinda Agagi; umambo hwavo huchasimudzirwa.
Madzi adzayenderera mʼmitsuko yake; mbewu zake zidzakhala ndi madzi ambiri. “Mfumu yake idzakhala yamphamvu kuposa Agagi; ufumu wake udzakwezedwa.
8 “Mwari akavabudisa muIjipiti; vane simba renyati. Vanomedza ndudzi dzine hasha uye vanovhuna-vhuna mapfupa adzo; Vanovabaya nemiseve yavo.
“Mulungu womutulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto ali ndi mphamvu ngati za njati. Amawononga mitundu yomuwukira ndi kuphwanya mafupa awo, amalasa ndi mivi yake.
9 Seshumba vanoti vhumba vagovata pasi, seshumbakadzi, ndianiko angashinga kuvamutsa? “Vose vanokuropafadza, ngavaropafadzwe uye vose vanokutuka, ngavatukwe!”
Monga mkango waumuna, amabisala nagona pansi, monga mkango waukazi, adzamuputa ndani? “Amene adalitsa iwe, adalitsike ndipo amene atemberera iwe, atembereredwe!”
10 Ipapo kutsamwa kwaBharaki kwakapfuta pamusoro paBharamu. Akarova maoko ake pamwe chete akati kwaari, “Ndakakudanira kuzotuka vavengi vangu, asi wavaropafadza katatu kose aka.
Kenaka Balaki anakwiyira Balaamu. Anawomba mʼmanja ndi kunena naye kuti, “Ndinakuyitana kuti utemberere adani anga, koma taona, wawadalitsa katatu konseka.
11 Zvino chibva izvozvi uende kwako! Ndakati ndichakupa mubayiro wakaisvonaka, asi Jehovha akudzivisa kuti upiwe mubayiro.”
Tsopano choka msanga uzipita kwanu! Ndinanena kuti ndidzakulipira bwino kwambiri, koma Yehova sanafune kuti ulandire malipirowo.”
12 Bharamu akapindura Bharaki akati, “Ko, handina kutaurira nhume dzawakatuma kwandiri here kuti,
Balaamu anayankha Balaki kuti, “Kodi sindinawawuze amithenga amene munawatumiza kwa ine,
13 ‘Kunyange dai Bharaki andipa muzinda wake wakazara nesirivha negoridhe, handaigona kuita chinhu nokuda kwangu, chakanaka kana chakaipa, kuti ndidarike murayiro waJehovha, uye kuti ndinofanira kutaura chete zvinenge zvataurwa naJehovha here’?
kuti ngakhale Balaki atandipatsa nyumba yake yaufumu yodzaza ndi siliva ndi golide sindingathe kuchita zinthu mwa ine ndekha, zabwino kapena zoyipa, kuposa lamulo la Yehova ndi kuti ndiyenera kunena zokhazo zimene Yehova akunena?
14 Zvino ndava kudzokera kuvanhu vokwangu, asi uya ndikuyambire zvichaitirwa vanhu vako navanhu ava pamazuva anouya.”
Tsopano ndikupita kwa anthu anga, koma tabwerani ndikuchenjezeni zimene anthu awa adzachitira anthu anu masiku akubwerawa.”
15 Ipapo akataura chirevo chake akati: “Chirevo chaBharamu mwanakomana waBheori, chirevo chaiye anoona zvakajeka,
Ndipo iye ananena uthenga wake nati, “Uthenga wa Balaamu mwana wa Beori, uthenga wa amene diso lake ndi lotsekuka.
16 chirevo chaiye anonzwa mashoko aMwari, ano ruzivo runobva kuno Wokumusoro-soro, anoona chiratidzo chinobva kuna Wamasimba Ose, anowira pasi nedumbu rake, uye ana meso akasvinura:
Uthenga wa amene amamva mawu a Mulungu, amene ali ndi nzeru zochokera kwa Wammwambamwamba, amene amaona masomphenya wochokera kwa Wamphamvuzonse, amene amagwa chafufumimba koma diso lake lili lotsekuka:
17 “Ndiri kumuoona, asi kwete iye zvino; ndinomuona, asi haasi pedyo. Nyeredzi ichabuda muna Jakobho; Tsvimbo youshe ichamera kubva muna Israeri. Achapwanya huma dzavaMoabhu, madehenya avanakomana vose vaSeti.
“Ndikumuona iye koma osati tsopano; ndikumupenya iye koma osati pafupi. Nyenyezi idzatuluka mwa Yakobo; ndodo yaufumu idzatuluka mwa Israeli. Iye adzagonjetsa Mowabu ndi kugonjetsa ana onse a Seti.
18 Edhomu achakundwa; Seiri, muvengi wake, achakundwa, asi Israeri achasimba.
Edomu adzagonjetsedwa; Seiri, mdani wake, adzawonongedwa koma mphamvu za Israeli zidzachuluka.
19 Mutongi achabuda muna Jakobho uye achaparadza vakasara veguta.”
Wolamulira adzachokera mwa Yakobo ndipo adzawononga otsala a mu mzindamo.”
20 Ipapo Bharamu akaona Amareki uye akataura chirevo chake achiti: “Amareki akanga ari wokutanga pakati pendudzi, asi pakupedzisira achaparadzwa.”
Kenaka Balaamu anaona Aamaleki ndipo ananena uthenga wake uwu: “Aamaleki anali oyamba mwa mitundu ya anthu koma potsiriza pake adzawonongeka.”
21 Ipapo akaona vaKeni uye akataura chirevo chake achiti: “Ugaro hwako hwakachengetedzeka, dendere rako rakavakwa padombo;
Kenaka anaonanso Akeni ndipo ananena uthenga wake, “Malo amene mukukhalamo ndi otetezedwa, chisa chanu chinayikidwa pa thanthwe;
22 asi imi vaKeni muchaparadzwa, Ashuri paachakutapai.”
komabe inu Akeni mudzawonongedwa, pamene Asuri adzakutengeni ukapolo.”
23 Ipapo akataura chirevo chake akati: “Haiwa, ndianiko angararama kana Mwari akaita izvi?
Ndipo ananenanso uthenga wina kuti, “Aa, ndani adzakhala ndi moyo Mulungu akachita zimenezi?
24 Zvikepe zvichauya zvichibva kumahombekombe eKitimu; zvichakunda Ashuri neEbheri, asi naizvowo zvichaparadzwa.”
Sitima zapamadzi zidzabwera kuchokera ku madooko a Kitimu; kupondereza Asuri ndi Eberi, koma iwonso adzawonongeka.”
25 Ipapo Bharamu akasimuka akadzokera kunyika yake, uye Bharaki akaenda kwakewo.
Pamenepo Balaamu ananyamuka ndi kubwerera kwawo ndipo Balaki anapitanso njira yake.
