< Hesabu 22 >
1 Watu wa Israeli wakasafiri mpaka wakaweka kambi kwenye uwanda wa Moabu karibu na Yeriko, kwenye upande mwingine wa mto Yorodani kutoka mji ule.
and to set out son: descendant/people Israel and to camp in/on/with Plains (of Moab) (Plains of) Moab from side: beyond to/for Jordan Jericho
2 Balaki mwana wa Zippori aliona yote ambayo Israeli aliwafanyia Waamori. Moabu aliogopa sana hao watu kwa sababu walikuwa wengi sana,
and to see: see Balak son: child Zippor [obj] all which to make: do Israel to/for Amorite
3 na Moabu alIwahofia wana wa Israeli.
and to dread Moab from face: because [the] people much for many he/she/it and to loathe Moab from face: because son: descendant/people Israel
4 Mfalme wa Moabu akawaambia wazee wa Midiani, “Huu umati utakula kila kitu tulicho nacho na maksai hula nyasi za kondeni.” Sasa Balaki mwana wa Zippori alikuwa mfalme wa Moabu.
and to say Moab to(wards) old: elder Midian now to lick [the] assembly [obj] all around us like/as to lick [the] cattle [obj] green [the] land: country and Balak son: child Zippor king to/for Moab in/on/with time [the] he/she/it
5 Akatuma wajumbe kwenda kwa Balamu mwana wa Beori, kule Petho ambayo iko karibu na mto Frati, katika nchi ya taifa lake na watu wake. Akamwita na kumwambia, “Tazama, Kuna taifa ambalo wamekuja hapa tokea Misiri. Wanafunika uso wa dunia na sasa wananifuatia mimi.
and to send: depart messenger to(wards) Balaam son: child Beor Pethor [to] which upon [the] River land: country/planet son: descendant/people people his to/for to call: call to to/for him to/for to say behold people to come out: come from Egypt behold to cover [obj] eye: before(the eyes) [the] land: country/planet and he/she/it to dwell from opposite me
6 Tafadhali naomba uje unilaanie hili taifa, kwa sababu wana nguvu kuliko mimi. Labda nitaweza kuwavamia na kuwafukuza watoke katika nchi yangu. Najua kuwa yeyote unayembariki hubarikiwa na yeyote unayemlaani atalaaniwa.”

7 Kwa hiyo wazee wa Moabu na wale wa Midiani wakaondoka, pamoja nao wakachukua malipo ya uganga. Wakafika kwa Balaamu wakamwambia maneno ya Balaki.
and to go: went old: elder Moab and old: elder Midian and divination in/on/with hand: power their and to come (in): come to(wards) Balaam and to speak: speak to(wards) him word Balak
8 Balaamu akawaambia, “Bakini hapa usiku wa leo. Kesho nitawaletea atakachoniambia BWANA.” Kwa hiyo wale viongozi wa Moabu wakabaki na Balaamu kwa usiku huo.
and to say to(wards) them to lodge here [the] night and to return: return [obj] you word like/as as which to speak: speak LORD to(wards) me and to dwell ruler Moab with Balaam
9 Mungu akaja kwa Balaamu na kumwambia, “Ni akina nani hawa waliokuja kwako?”
and to come (in): come God to(wards) Balaam and to say who? [the] human [the] these with you
10 Balaamu akamjibu Mungu, “Balaki mwana wa Zippori, Mfalme wa Moabu amewatuma kwangu. Alisema,
and to say Balaam to(wards) [the] God Balak son: child Zippor king Moab to send: depart to(wards) me
11 'Tazama hawa watu waliotoka Misri wanafunika uso wa nchi yangu. Sasa naomba uje unilaanie hawa watu. Labada nitaweza kuwa kuwashinda na kuwafukuza.'”

12 Mungu akamjiu Balaam, “Usiambatane na hao wanaume. Na usiwalaani hawa wana wa Israeli kwa sababu wamebarikiwa.”
and to say God to(wards) Balaam not to go: went with them not to curse [obj] [the] people for to bless he/she/it
13 Balaamu akaamka asubuhi na kuwaambia wale viongozi wa Balaki, “Rudini nchini kwenu kwa sababu BWANA amenikataza kuambatana nanyi.”
and to arise: rise Balaam in/on/with morning and to say to(wards) ruler Balak to go: went to(wards) land: country/planet your for to refuse LORD to/for to give: allow me to/for to go: went with you
14 Kwa hiyo wale viongozi wa Moabu wakaondoka na kurudi kwa Balaki. Wakamwambia, “Balaamu amekataa kuambatana nasi.”
and to arise: rise ruler Moab and to come (in): come to(wards) Balak and to say to refuse Balaam to go: come with us
15 Balaki akatuma viongozi wengine waliokuwa wanaheshimiwa zaidi kuliko kundi lile la awali.
and to add: again still Balak to send: depart ruler many and to honor: honour from these
16 Wakaja kwa Balaamu na kumwambia, “Balaki mwana wa Zippori anasema hivi, 'Tafadhali hebu kitu chochote kisikuzuie kuja kwangu,
and to come (in): come to(wards) Balaam and to say to/for him thus to say Balak son: child Zippor not please to withhold from to go: come to(wards) me
17 kwa sababu nitakulipa malipo mazuri sana na kukupa heshima kubwa, nami nitakufanyia chochote utakachoniambia. Tafadhali sana uje unilaanie hawa watu.'”
for to honor: honour to honor: honour you much and all which to say to(wards) me to make: do and to go: come! [emph?] please to curse [emph?] to/for me [obj] [the] people [the] this
18 Balaamu akawajibu watu wa Balaki akawaambia, “Hata kama Balaki atanipa ikulu yake ikiwa imejaa fedha na dhahabu, sitaweza kufanya dhidi ya maneno ya BWANA, Mungu wangu na kufanya pungufu au zaidi ya kile anachoniambia.
and to answer Balaam and to say to(wards) servant/slave Balak if to give: give to/for me Balak fullness house: home his silver: money and gold not be able to/for to pass: trespass [obj] lip: word LORD God my to/for to make: do small or great: large
19 Sasa basi, tafadhali subirini hapa usiku wa leo pia, ili kwamba nipate kujifunza kitu zaidi ambacho BWANA ananiambia.”
and now to dwell please in/on/with this also you(m. p.) [the] night and to know what? to add LORD to speak: speak with me
20 BWANA akaja kwa Balaamu usiku ule na kumwambia, “kwa kuwa hawa watu wamekuja kukuita, inuka uende nao. Lakini utafanya tu kile nitakachokuambia kufanya.”
and to come (in): come God to(wards) Balaam night and to say to/for him if to/for to call: call to to/for you to come (in): come [the] human to arise: rise to go: went with them and surely [obj] [the] word which to speak: speak to(wards) you [obj] him to make: do
21 Balaamu akainuka asubuhi, akatandika punda wake, akaenda pamoja na viongozi wa Moabu.
and to arise: rise Balaam in/on/with morning and to saddle/tie [obj] she-ass his and to go: went with ruler Moab
22 Lakini kwa sababu alienda, hasira za Mungu zikawaka. Malaika wa BWANA akasimama barabarani kama adui wa Balaamu, aliyekuwa akimpanda yule punda. Watumishi wawili wa Balaamu walikuwa pamoja naye.
and to be incensed face: anger God for to go: went he/she/it and to stand messenger: angel LORD in/on/with way: journey to/for Satan to/for him and he/she/it to ride upon she-ass his and two youth his with him
23 Yule punda alimwona yule malaika wa BWANA akiwa amesimama barabarani akiwa na upanga mkononi mwake. Yule punda akageuka na kwenda shambani. Balaamu akampiga yule punda ili arudi barabarani.
and to see: see [the] she-ass [obj] messenger: angel LORD to stand in/on/with way: road and sword his to draw in/on/with hand: power his and to stretch [the] she-ass from [the] way: road and to go: went in/on/with land: country and to smite Balaam [obj] [the] she-ass to/for to stretch her [the] way: road
24 Sasa malaika wa BWANA akasimama kwenye njia nyembamba katikati ya mashamba ya mizabibu, na kushoto kwake kulikuwa na ukuta.
and to stand: stand messenger: angel LORD in/on/with passage [the] vineyard wall from this and wall from this
25 Yule punda akamwona yule malaika wa BWANA tena. Akasogea zaidi ukutani na kuubana mguu wa Balaamu ukutani. Balaamu akampiga tena yule punda.
and to see: see [the] she-ass [obj] messenger: angel LORD and to oppress to(wards) [the] wall and to oppress [obj] foot Balaam to(wards) [the] wall and to add: again to/for to smite her
26 Yule malaika wa BWANA akasogea mbele zaidi kwenye eneo jingine jembamba zaidi ambalo haikuwezekana kugeuka upande mwingine.
and to add messenger: angel LORD to pass and to stand: stand in/on/with place narrow which nothing way: journey to/for to stretch right and left
27 Yule Punda akamwona tena yule malaika wa BWANA, akalala chini ya Balaamu. Hasira za Balaamu zikawaka, akampiga yule punda kwa fimbo yake.
and to see: see [the] she-ass [obj] messenger: angel LORD and to stretch underneath: under Balaam and to be incensed face: anger Balaam and to smite [obj] [the] she-ass in/on/with rod
28 Kisha BWANA akafungua kinywa cha punda na akaongea. Akamwambia Balaamu, “Nimekukosea nini kiasi kwamba umenipiga mara tatu?”
and to open LORD [obj] lip [the] she-ass and to say to/for Balaam what? to make: do to/for you for to smite me this three foot
29 Balaamu akamjibu yule punda, “Ni kwa sababu umenitendea kwa ujinga. Natamani kama ningekuwa na upanga mkononi mwangu, kama ningekuwa nao, sasa hivi ningekuwa nimekuua.”
and to say Balaam to/for she-ass for to abuse in/on/with me if there sword in/on/with hand my for now to kill you
30 Yule punda akamwambia Balaamu, “Je, mimi si punda wako ambaye umenipanda maishani mwako mwote mpaka hivi sasa? Je, nimewahi kuwa na tabia ya kukufanyia hivi hapo awali?” Balaamu akasema “hapana.”
and to say [the] she-ass to(wards) Balaam not I she-ass your which to ride upon me from still your till [the] day [the] this be useful be useful to/for to make: do to/for you thus and to say not
31 Basi BWANA akafungua macho ya Balaamu, na akamwona malaika wa BWANA amesimama barabarani akiwa na upanga mkononi mwake. Balaamu akainamisha kichwa chake chini.
and to reveal: uncover LORD [obj] eye Balaam and to see: see [obj] messenger: angel LORD to stand in/on/with way: journey and sword his to draw in/on/with hand his and to bow and to bow to/for face his
32 Yule malaika wa BWANA akamwambia, “Kwa nini umempiga punda wako mara tatu? Tazama, Nimekuja kama adui yako kwa sababu matendo yako kwangu yamekuwa maovu.
and to say to(wards) him messenger: angel LORD upon what? to smite [obj] she-ass your this three foot behold I to come out: come to/for Satan for to push [the] way: conduct to/for before me
33 Yule punda aliniona na akageuka kutoka kwangu mara tatu. Kama asingekuwa amegeuka kutoka kwangu, hakika ningekuwa nimekua na yeye kumwacha hai.
and to see: see me [the] she-ass and to stretch to/for face: before my this three foot perhaps to stretch from face: before my for now also [obj] you to kill and [obj] her to live
34 Balaamu akamwambia malaika wa BWANA, nimetenda dhambi. Sikujua kuwa ulisimama kinyume na mimi barabarani. Kwa hiyo sasa, kama haikupendezi, Nitageuka.”
and to say Balaam to(wards) messenger: angel LORD to sin for not to know for you(m. s.) to stand to/for to encounter: toward me in/on/with way: road and now if be evil in/on/with eye: seeing your to return: return to/for me
35 Lakini yule malaika wa BWANA akamwambia Balaamu, “endelea na wale watu. Lakini utasema maneno nitakayokwambia tu.”Kwa hiyo Balaamu akaendelea na wale vioingozi wa Balaki.
and to say messenger: angel LORD to(wards) Balaam to go: went with [the] human and end [obj] [the] word which to speak: speak to(wards) you [obj] him to speak: speak and to go: went Balaam with ruler Balak
36 Balaki aliposikia kuwa Balaamu alikuwa amekuja, alienda kukutana naye kule mjini Moabu pale Amoni, ambao uko mpakani.
and to hear: hear Balak for to come (in): come Balaam and to come out: come to/for to encounter: meet him to(wards) city Moab which upon border: boundary Arnon which in/on/with end [the] border: boundary
37 Balaki akamwambia Balaamu, “Je, mimi sikutuma watu kukuita? Basi kwa nini hukuja kwangu? Je, mimi sina uwezo wa kukufanya uheshimike?”
and to say Balak to(wards) Balaam not to send: depart to send: depart to(wards) you to/for to call: call to to/for you to/for what? not to go: come to(wards) me truly not be able to honor: honour you
38 Ndipo Balaamu alipomjibu Balaki, “Tazama, mimi nimekuja kwako. Je mimi sina mamlaka ya kusema chochote? Mimi ninaweza kusema maneno ambayo Mungu ameweka kinywani mwangu.”
and to say Balaam to(wards) Balak behold to come (in): come to(wards) you now be able be able to speak: speak anything [the] word which to set: put God in/on/with lip my [obj] him to speak: speak
39 Balaamu akaenda na Balaki, na Wakafika Kiriathi Huzothi.
and to go: went Balaam with Balak and to come (in): come Kiriath-huzoth Kiriath-huzoth
40 Kisha Balaki akatoa sadaka ya maksai na kondoo na kumpatia Balaamu baadhi ya hiyo nyama na wale viongozi waliokuwa pamoja naye.
and to sacrifice Balak cattle and flock and to send: depart to/for Balaam and to/for ruler which with him
41 Kesho yake asubuhi, Balaki akampeleka Balaamu mpaka juu mahali pa Baali. Kule juu Balaamu aliweza kuona sehemu tu ya kambi za Waisraeli.
and to be in/on/with morning and to take: take Balak [obj] Balaam and to ascend: establish him Bamoth (Bamoth)-baal and to see: see from there end [the] people
