Maaĩ makaiyũra ndoo ciao nginya maitĩke; o nayo mbegũ yao ĩgakorwo na maaĩ maingĩ. “Mũthamaki wao akaaneneha gũkĩra Agagi; ũthamaki wao nĩũgaatũgĩrio.
8 “Mwari akavabudisa muIjipiti; vane simba renyati. Vanomedza ndudzi dzine hasha uye vanovhuna-vhuna mapfupa adzo; Vanovabaya nemiseve yavo.
“Ngai aamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri; marĩ na hinya ta wa ndegwa ya gĩthaka. Matambuuraga ndũrĩrĩ iria imathũire, na makoinanga mahĩndĩ ma cio tũcunjĩ; macitheecaga na mĩguĩ yao.

O ta mũrũũthi, methunaga magĩkoma, o ta mũrũũthi wa mũgoma, nũũ ũngĩgeria kũmaarahũra? “Arĩa makũrathimaga marorathimwo, nao arĩa makũrumaga maronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi!”
10 Ipapo kutsamwa kwaBharaki kwakapfuta pamusoro paBharamu. Akarova maoko ake pamwe chete akati kwaari, “Ndakakudanira kuzotuka vavengi vangu, asi wavaropafadza katatu kose aka.
Nake Balaki agĩcinwo nĩ marakara nĩ ũndũ wa Balamu. Akĩhũũra hĩ ciake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagwĩtire ũnumĩre thũ ciakwa, no wee ũcirathimĩte maita macio matatũ.

Na rĩrĩ, ũkĩra o rĩu ũinũke! Ndoigĩte nĩngũkũrĩha wega mũno, no Jehova nĩagirĩtie ũrĩhwo.”
12 Bharamu akapindura Bharaki akati, “Ko, handina kutaurira nhume dzawakatuma kwandiri here kuti,
Balamu agĩcookeria Balaki atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndierire andũ arĩa wandũmĩire atĩrĩ,
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’?
‘O na Balaki angĩĩhe nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki ĩiyũrĩtio betha na thahabu, ndingĩhota gwĩka ũndũ wakwa mwene, mwega kana mũũru, njagarare watho wa Jehova; no nginya njuge ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte’?

Na rĩrĩ, niĩ nĩngũcooka o kũrĩ andũ aitũ, no ũka, ngũmenyithie ũrĩa andũ aya mageeka andũ aku matukũ marĩa magooka.”
15 Ipapo akataura chirevo chake akati: “Chirevo chaBharamu mwanakomana waBheori, chirevo chaiye anoona zvakajeka,
Ningĩ akĩaria ndũmĩrĩri yake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Balamu mũrũ wa Beori, ndũmĩrĩri ya mũndũ ũrĩa riitho rĩake rĩonaga wega,

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.
“Nĩndĩramuona, no ti rĩu; nĩndĩmũcũthĩrĩirie, no ndarĩ hakuhĩ. Njata nĩĩkoima kũrĩ Jakubu; njũgũma ya ũnene yume kũrĩ Isiraeli. Nĩakahehenja mothiũ ma Moabi, na ahehenje, mahĩndĩ ma mĩtwe ya ariũ othe a Shethu.
18 Edhomu achakundwa; Seiri, muvengi wake, achakundwa, asi Israeri achasimba.
Edomu nĩgũkahootwo; Seiru, thũ yake, nĩakahootwo, no Isiraeli agakĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na hinya.
19 Mutongi achabuda muna Jakobho uye achaparadza vakasara veguta.”
Mwathani mũnene akoima kũrĩ Jakubu na aanange andũ arĩa magaakorwo matigaire a itũũra inene.”
20 Ipapo Bharamu akaona Amareki uye akataura chirevo chake achiti: “Amareki akanga ari wokutanga pakati pendudzi, asi pakupedzisira achaparadzwa.”
Ningĩ Balamu akĩona Amaleki, na akĩaria ndũmĩrĩri yake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Amaleki nĩwe warĩ wa mbere harĩ ndũrĩrĩ, no marigĩrĩrio-inĩ nĩakanangwo.”

23 Ipapo akataura chirevo chake akati: “Haiwa, ndianiko angararama kana Mwari akaita izvi?
Ningĩ akĩaria ndũmĩrĩri yake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Hĩ! Nũũ ũngĩtũũra muoyo rĩrĩa Ngai areka ũguo?
