Hesabu 23
1 Balaamu akasema, “Nijengee hapa madhabahu saba, mnitayarishie mafahali saba na kondoo dume saba.”
Balaʼaamis Baalaaqiin, “Iddoo aarsaa torba asitti naaf ijaari; amma illee korommii loonii torbaa fi korbeeyyii hoolaa torba naa qopheessi” jedhe.
2 Balaki akafanya kama Balaamu alivyosema; hao wawili kila mmoja wao akatoa fahali mmoja na kondoo dume mmoja juu ya kila madhabahu.
Baalaaqis akkuma Balaʼaam jedhe sana godhe; isaan lamaan tokkoo tokkoo iddoo aarsaa irratti korma looniitii fi korbeessa hoolaa tokko tokko aarsaa dhiʼeessan.
3 Kisha Balaamu akamwambia Balaki, “Kaa hapa kando ya sadaka yako wakati mimi ninakwenda kando. Huenda Bwana atakuja kukutana nami. Lolote atakalonifunulia, nitakuambia.” Basi akaenda hata mahali peupe palipoinuka.
Ergasii Balaʼaam Baalaaqiin akkana jedhe; “Ani xinnoo achi sirraa nan siqa; ati immoo asuma aarsaa kee bira turi. Tarii Waaqayyo anaa wajjin wal arguuf ni dhufa taʼa. Waan inni natti mulʼisu kam iyyuu ani sittin hima.” Innis gara gaara tokkoo dhaqe.
4 Mungu akakutana naye, kisha Balaamu akasema, “Nimekwisha kutengeneza madhabahu saba, na juu ya kila madhabahu nimetoa sadaka ya fahali mmoja na kondoo dume mmoja.”
Waaqayyo isaan wal arginaan Balaʼaam, “Ani iddoo aarsaa torba qopheessee tokkoo tokkoo isaa irratti korma loonii tokkoo fi korbeessa hoolaa tokko qopheesseera” jedhe.
5 Bwana akaweka ujumbe katika kinywa cha Balaamu na kusema, “Rudi kwa Balaki umpe ujumbe huu.”
Waaqayyo ergaa tokko afaan Balaʼaam keessa kaaʼee, “Baalaaqitti deebiʼiitii ergaa kana itti himi” jedheen.
6 Basi Balaamu akarudi kwa Balaki, akamkuta amesimama kando ya sadaka yake akiwa na wakuu wote wa Moabu.
Balaʼaam Baalaaqitti deebiʼee isaa qondaaltota Moʼaab wajjin aarsaa isaa bira dhaabatu arge.
7 Ndipo Balaamu akasema ujumbe wake: “Balaki amenileta kutoka Aramu, mfalme wa Moabu kutoka milima ya mashariki. Akasema, ‘Njoo, unilaanie Yakobo; njoo unishutumie Israeli.’
Balaʼaam ergaa isaa akkana jedhee dubbate: “Baalaaq Arraam irraa, mootichi Moʼaab gaarran baʼaa irraa na fide. Innis, ‘Kottuutii Yaaqoobin naa abaari; kottuutii Israaʼelin naa balaaleffadhu’ jedhe.
8 Nitawezaje kuwalaani, hao ambao Mungu hajawalaani? Nitawezaje kuwashutumu hao ambao Bwana hakuwashutumu?
Ani akkamittan warra Waaqni hin abaarin abaaruu dandaʼa? Ani akkamittan warra Waaqayyo hin balaaleffatin balaaleffachuu dandaʼa?
9 Kutoka vilele vya miamba ninawaona, kutoka mahali palipoinuka ninawatazama. Ninaliona taifa ambalo wanaishi peke yao, nao hawahesabiwi kama mojawapo ya mataifa.
Fiixee gaarranii irraa ani isa nan arga; tulluuwwan irraas isa nan ilaala. Saba kophaa isaa jiraatu, kan saba kaan keessatti of hin lakkoofne nan arga.
10 Ni nani awezaye kuhesabu mavumbi ya Yakobo, au kuhesabu robo ya Israeli? Mimi na nife kifo cha mtu mwenye haki, na mwisho wangu na uwe kama wao!”
Eenyutu awwaara Yaaqoob lakkaaʼuu dandaʼa? Eenyutu Israaʼel keessaa kurmaana isaa illee lakkaaʼa? Ani duʼa nama qajeelaa haa duʼu; dhumni koos akkuma dhuma isaa haa taʼu!”
11 Balaki akamwambia Balaamu, “Ni nini ulichonitendea? Nimekuleta ulaani adui zangu, lakini wewe badala yake umewabariki!”
Baalaaqis Balaʼaamiin, “Wanni ati na goote kun maali? Ani akka ati diina koo naa abaartuufin si fide; ati kunoo isaan eebbifte malee waan tokko iyyuu isaan hin goone!” jedhe.
12 Balaamu akajibu, “Je, hainipasi kusema kile Bwana anachoweka katika kinywa changu?”
Innis, “Ani waan Waaqayyo afaan koo keessa kaaʼu hin dubbadhuu?” jedhee deebii kenneef.
13 Ndipo Balaki akamwambia, “Twende pamoja mahali pengine ambapo unaweza kuwaona; utawaona baadhi tu wala si wote. Nawe kutoka huko, unilaanie hao.”
Baalaaq, “Mee gara lafa itti isaan arguu dandeessu biraa na wajjin kottu; ati gara tokko qofa malee hunduma isaanii arguu hin dandeessu. Achiis isaan naa abaari” jedheen.
14 Basi akampeleka kwenye shamba la Sofimu, juu ya kilele cha Mlima Pisga. Pale akajenga madhabahu saba na kutoa sadaka ya fahali na kondoo dume mmoja juu ya kila madhabahu.
Inni gara dirree Xoofiim kan fiixee Phisgaa irratti argamuutti isa geesse; achittis iddoo aarsaa torba ijaaree tokkoo tokkoo iddoo aarsaa sanaa irratti korma loonii tokkoo fi korbeessa hoolaa tokko aarsaa dhiʼeesse.
15 Balaamu akamwambia Balaki, “Kaa hapa kando ya sadaka yako wakati ninapokwenda kuonana na Mungu kule.”
Balaʼaamis Baalaaqiin, “Ati hamma ani achi siqee Waaqa wajjin wal argutti asuma aarsaa kee bira turi” jedhe.
16 Bwana akakutana na Balaamu, akaweka ujumbe katika kinywa chake akasema, “Rudi kwa Balaki umpe ujumbe huu.”
Waaqayyo Balaʼaam wajjin wal argee ergaa tokko afaan isaa keessa kaaʼee, “Baalaaqitti deebiʼiitii ergaa kana itti himi” jedheen.
17 Basi Balaamu akarudi kwa Balaki, akamkuta amesimama kando ya sadaka yake, akiwa na wakuu wa Moabu. Balaki akamuuliza, “Je, Bwana amesema nini?”
Balaʼaam Baalaaq bira dhaqee isaa qondaaltota Moʼaab wajjin aarsaa isaa bira dhaabatu arge. Baalaaqis, “Waaqayyo maal jedhe?” jedhee Balaʼaamiin gaafate.
18 Ndipo Balaamu akasema ujumbe wake: “Balaki, inuka na usikilize, nisikie mimi, wewe mwana wa Sipori.
Balaʼaam akkana jedhee ergaa isaa dubbate: “Yaa Baalaaq, kaʼiitii dhaggeeffadhu; yaa ilma Ziphoori na dhagaʼi.
19 Mungu si mtu, hata aseme uongo, wala yeye si mwanadamu, hata ajute. Je, anasema, kisha asitende? Je, anaahidi, asitimize?
Waaqni nama miti; inni hin sobu; yookaan gaabbuudhaaf inni ilma namaa miti. Inni waa dubbatee ergasii hin hojjetuu? Inni waa abdachiisee ergasii hin raawwatuu?
20 Nimepokea agizo kubariki; amebariki, nami siwezi kubadilisha.
Kunoo ani eebbisuudhaaf ajaja argadheera; inni eebbiseera; anis geeddaruu hin dandaʼu.
21 “Haijaonekana bahati mbaya katika Yakobo, wala taabu katika Israeli. Bwana, Mungu wao yu pamoja nao, nayo sauti kuu ya Mfalme imo katikati yao.
“Inni Yaaqoob keessatti daba hin argine; rakkina tokko illee Israaʼel keessatti hin argine. Waaqayyo Waaqni isaanii isaan wajjin jira; ililleen Mootii isaan wajjin jira.
22 Mungu aliwatoa kutoka Misri; wao wana nguvu za nyati.
Waaqayyo biyya Gibxiitii isaan baase; inni jabina akka jabina gafarsaa qaba.
23 Hakuna uchawi dhidi ya Yakobo, wala hakuna uaguzi dhidi ya Israeli. Sasa itasemwa kuhusu Yakobo na Israeli, ‘Tazama yale Mungu aliyotenda!’
Yaaqoob irratti falfalli tokko iyyuu hin hojjetu; Israaʼel irrattis tolchi tokko iyyuu hin hojjetu. Amma Yaaqoobii fi Israaʼeliin, ‘Waan Waaqni hojjete ilaalaa!’ jedhama.
24 Taifa lainuka kama simba jike; linajiinua kama simba ambaye hatulii mpaka amalize kurarua mawindo yake na kunywa damu ya mawindo yake.”
Kunoo sabni sun akka leenca dhalaatti kaʼa; akkuma leencaattis ol jedha; inni hamma waan adamsate nyaatee fixutti, hamma dhiiga waan ajjeefate sanaa dhuguttis hin ciisu.”
25 Kisha Balaki akamwambia Balaamu, “Usiwalaani kabisa, wala usiwabariki kabisa!”
Baalaaq Balaʼaamiin, “Ati gonkumaa isaan hin abaarin yookaan isaan hin eebbisin” jedhe.
26 Balaamu akajibu, “Je, sikukuambia ni lazima nifanye lolote analosema Bwana?”
Balaʼaamis, “Ani akka waan Waaqayyo jedhu kam iyyuu hojjedhu sitti hin himnee?” jedhee Baalaaqiif deebise.
27 Basi Balaki akamwambia Balaamu, “Njoo, nikupeleke mahali pengine. Huenda itampendeza Mungu kukuruhusu unilaanie hao watu kutoka mahali hapo.”
Ergasii Baalaaq Balaʼaamiin, “Mee kottu amma illee ani iddoo biraa sin geessaa. Tarii achii jara naaf abaaruun kee Waaqa gammachiisa taʼaatii” jedhe.
28 Balaki akamchukua Balaamu juu ya Mlima Peori, unaotazamana na nyika.
Baalaaqis Balaʼaamin fiixee tulluu Pheʼoor kan irra dhaabatanii gammoojjii sana gad ilaalanitti ol baase.
29 Balaamu akasema, “Nijengee hapa madhabahu saba, uandae mafahali saba na kondoo dume saba kwa ajili yangu.”
Balaʼaamis Baalaaqiin, “Iddoo aarsaa torba asitti naaf ijaari; ammas korommii loonii torbaa fi korbeeyyii hoolaa torba naaf qopheessi” jedhe.
30 Balaki akafanya kama Balaamu alivyosema, kisha akatoa sadaka ya fahali mmoja na kondoo dume mmoja juu ya kila madhabahu.
Baalaaqis akkuma Balaʼaam jedheen sana godhe; tokkoo tokkoo iddoo aarsaa irrattis korma loonii tokkoo fi korbeessa hoolaa tokko aarsaa dhiʼeesse.
