4 Mose 23
1 Balaam ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Si afɔremuka ason wɔ ha, na siesie anantwinini ason ne adwennini ason ma me.”
Nake Balamu akĩĩra Balaki atĩrĩ, “Njakĩra igongona mũgwanja haha, na ũhaarĩrie ndegwa mũgwanja na ndũrũme mũgwanja.”
2 Balak yɛɛ sɛnea Balaam kae no, na wɔn baanu no de nantwinini ne odwennini bɔɔ afɔremuka no biara so afɔre.
Balaki agĩĩka o ũrĩa Balamu oigĩte, na igũrũ rĩa o kĩgongona-inĩ makarutĩra igongona rĩa ndegwa ĩmwe na ndũrũme ĩmwe.
3 Afei Balaam ka kyerɛɛ Balak se, “Tena wʼafɔre no ho na merekɔ nkyɛn. Ebia na Awurade bɛba abehyia me, na nea ɔbɛda no adi akyerɛ me biara no mɛka akyerɛ wo.” Enti, ɔforo kɔɔ sorosoro baabi a ɛhɔ yɛ petee.
Ningĩ Balamu akĩĩra Balaki atĩrĩ, “Wee ikara haha hakuhĩ na iruta rĩaku nyambe thiĩ keheri-inĩ. Hihi Jehova nĩegũũka acemanie na niĩ. Ũndũ ũrĩa wothe ekũnguũrĩria nĩngũkwĩra.” Nake agĩthiĩ handũ hatheri hatũũgĩru.
4 Ɛhɔ na Onyankopɔn hyiaa no ma ɔkae se, “Masiesie afɔremuka ason, na mede nantwinini ne odwennini abɔ afɔre wɔ biara so.”
Ngai agĩcemania nake hau, nake Balamu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩhaarĩirie igongona mũgwanja, na o kĩgongona-inĩ ngaruta ndegwa ĩmwe na ndũrũme ĩmwe.”
5 Awurade de asɛm hyɛɛ Balaam anom se, “San kɔ Balak nkyɛn na kɔka asɛm yi kyerɛ no.”
Nake Jehova agĩĩkĩra ndũmĩrĩri yake kanua ka Balamu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Cooka kũrĩ Balaki ũmũhe ndũmĩrĩri ĩno.”
6 Ɔsan bae no ɔbɛtoo no sɛ ɔne Moab mpanyimfo no nyinaa gyinagyina afɔre no ho.
Tondũ ũcio Balamu agĩcooka kũrĩ Balaki, akĩmũkora arũngiĩ hakuhĩ na igongona rĩake, marĩ hamwe na anene othe a Moabi.
7 Na Balaam hyɛɛ ne nkɔm: “Balak soma bɛfrɛɛ me fii Aram, Moabhene frɛɛ me fii apuei fam nkoko so. Ɔkae se, ‘Bra bɛdome Yakob ma me; bra bɛka mmususɛm gu Israel so.’
Nake Balamu akĩaria ndũmĩrĩri yake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Balaki andehithĩtie kuuma bũrũri wa Aramu, mũthamaki wa Moabi akanduta kuuma irĩma-inĩ cia mwena wa irathĩro. Akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũka ũnumĩre Jakubu; ũka ũthitange Isiraeli.’
8 Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi adome wɔn a Onyankopɔn nnome ɛ? Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi aka mmususɛm agu wɔn a Awurade mmuu wɔn fɔ so?
Ndaakĩhota atĩa kũruma arĩa Ngai atarumĩte? Ndaakĩhota atĩa gũthitanga arĩa Jehova atathitangĩte?
9 Mihu wɔn fi ɔbotan atifi; mehwɛ wɔn fi nkoko so. Mihu nnipa a wɔatew wɔn ho a wommu wɔn ho sɛ wɔyɛ aman no bi mu nnipa.
Kuuma tũcũmbĩrĩ twa ndwaro cia mahiga nĩndĩramoona, kuuma kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru nĩndĩramoona. Ndĩrona andũ matũũraga meikarĩtie, nao matiĩtaraga atĩ o nĩ amwe a ndũrĩrĩ.
10 Hena na obetumi akan Yakob mfutuma, anaa ɔbɛkan Israelfo nkyemu anan mu baako? Ma minwu atreneefo wu, na mʼawiei nyɛ sɛ wɔn de.”
Nũũ ũngĩhota gũtara rũkũngũ rwa Jakubu, kana atare gĩcunjĩ kĩa inya kĩa Isiraeli? Rekei ngue gĩkuũ kĩa arĩa athingu, na marigĩrĩrio makwa-rĩ, marotuĩka ta mao!”
11 Balak bisaa Balaam se, “Dɛn na woayɛ me yi? Mede wo baa sɛ bɛdome mʼatamfo, nanso woahyira wɔn mmom!”
Balaki akĩũria Balamu atĩrĩ, “Wanjĩka atĩa? Ngũrehire ũnumĩre thũ ciakwa, no ndũrĩ ũreka ũndũ o tiga kũmarathima!”
12 Obuae se, “So ɛnsɛ sɛ meka nea Awurade de ahyɛ mʼano no ana?”
Balamu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndiagĩrĩirwo njarie o kĩrĩa Jehova ekĩrĩte kanua-inĩ gakwa?”
13 Afei, Balak ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Bra na yɛnkɔ baabi foforo a yebehu wɔn; worenhu wɔn nyinaa, gye wɔn atenae no nkyɛn nkyɛn. Gyina hɔ na dome wɔn ma me.”
Ningĩ Balaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka tũthiĩ nawe handũ hangĩ harĩa ũkũmoona; ũkũmoona o gĩcunjĩ kĩmwe kĩao, no ti othe hamwe. Na ũrĩ hau ũnumĩre andũ acio.”
14 Enti ɔde no kɔɔ Sofim bepɔw Pisga atifi. Osii afɔremuka ason wɔ hɔ na ɔde nantwinini ne odwennini bɔɔ afɔre afɔre wɔ afɔremuka biara so.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmũtwara gĩthaka-inĩ gĩa Zofimu, gacũmbĩrĩ ga Kĩrĩma kĩa Pisiga, naho hau agĩaka igongona mũgwanja, na o kĩgongona-inĩ agĩthĩnjĩra ndegwa ĩmwe na ndũrũme ĩmwe.
15 Balaam ka kyerɛɛ Balak se, “Tena wʼafɔre no ho wɔ ha na me nso merekohyia Awuradewɔ hɔ.”
Balamu akĩĩra Balaki atĩrĩ, “Wee ikara haha hakuhĩ na iruta rĩaku nyambe thiĩ ngacemanie nake haarĩa.”
16 Awurade hyiaa Balaam na ɔde asɛm hyɛɛ nʼanom se, “San kɔ Balak hɔ na kɔka asɛm yi kyerɛ no.”
Jehova agĩcemania na Balamu, agĩĩkĩra ndũmĩrĩri kanua gake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Cooka kũrĩ Balaki ũmũhe ndũmĩrĩri ĩno.”
17 Enti ɔsan ba bɛtoo no no sɛ ogyina nʼafɔre no ho a Moab mpanyimfo no ka ne ho. Balak bisae se, “Awurade aka dɛn?”
Tondũ ũcio Balamu agĩcooka kũrĩ Balaki na akĩmũkora arũngiĩ hakuhĩ na iruta rĩake, marĩ hamwe na anene a Moabi. Balaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Jehova oiga atĩa?”
18 Na ɔhyɛɛ ne nkɔm: “Balak, sɔre na tie; Sipor babarima tie me.
Balamu agĩcooka akĩaria ndũmĩrĩri yake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Arahũka, wee Balaki na ũigue; Thikĩrĩria, wee mũrũ wa Ziporu.
19 Onyankopɔn nyɛ onipa na wadi atoro; Ɔnyɛ onipa na wasesa nʼadwene. Ɔka asɛm a ɔnyɛ ana? Wahyɛ bɔ bi pɛn a wanni so ana?
Ngai ti mũndũ, atĩ nĩguo aheenanie, o na ti mũrũ wa mũndũ, atĩ nĩguo ericũkwo. No oige ũndũ na ndawĩĩke? No eranĩre ũndũ na ndaũhingie?
20 Wɔahyɛ me sɛ minhyira; wahyira, na merentumi nnan ani!
Niĩ njathĩtwo ndathimane; nake arathimanĩte-rĩ, ndingĩhota kũgarũra ũndũ ũcio.
21 “Wonhu ɔyawdi bi wɔ Yakob mu, wonhuu awerɛhowdi biara wɔ Israel mu. Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn ka wɔn ho; Ɔhene ka wɔn ho!
“Gũtirĩ mũtino wonekete harĩ Jakubu, gũtirĩ ihooru rĩonetwo thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli. Jehova Ngai wao arĩ hamwe nao; kayũ ka mũthamaki karĩ thĩinĩ wao.
22 Onyankopɔn yii wɔn fii Misraim; ɔte sɛ nantwi hoɔdenfo ma wɔn.
Ngai nĩamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri; marĩ na hinya o ta ndegwa ya gĩthaka.
23 Nnome biara mmaa Yakob so ɛ, mmusu biara nni Israel so. Afei, wɔbɛka afa Yakob ne Israel ho se, ‘Hwɛ nea Onyankopɔn ayɛ!’
Gũtirĩ ũrogi ũngĩũraga Jakubu, gũtirĩ ũragũri ũngĩthũkia Isiraeli. Rĩu ha ũhoro wa Jakubu na wa Isiraeli kũrĩĩranagwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ta kĩonei ũrĩa Ngai ekĩte!’
24 Nnipa no sɔre sɛ gyatabere. Wɔwosow wɔn ho sɛ gyata a onnye nʼahome de kosi sɛ ɔbɛtetew nea wakyere no no nam pasaa na ɔnom nea wakyere no no mogya.”
Andũ acio maarahũkaga ta mũrũũthi wa nga; mookagĩra ta mũrũũthi wa njamba, ũrĩa ũtangĩhurũka ũtarĩĩte kĩrĩa ũnyiitĩte, na ũkanyua thakame ya kĩrĩa ũragĩte.”
25 Na Balak ka kyerɛɛ Balaam se, “Sɛ worennome wɔn a, ɛno de nhyira wɔn koraa.”
Ningĩ Balaki akĩĩra Balamu atĩrĩ, “Ndũkamarume o na atĩa, na ndũkamarathime o na atĩa!”
26 Balaam buaa no se, “Manka ankyerɛ wo se nea Awurade bɛka biara na mɛyɛ ana?”
Balamu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndiakwĩrire no nginya njĩke ũrĩa wothe Jehova oigĩte?”
27 Afei, Balak ka kyerɛɛ Balaam se, “Bra mma memfa wo nkɔ baabi foforo. Ebia, ɛhɔ bɛyɛ anisɔ ama Onyankopɔn sɛ wubegyina hɔ adome wɔn.”
Ningĩ Balaki akĩĩra Balamu atĩrĩ, “Ũka tũthiĩ ngũtware handũ hangĩ. Hihi Ngai no agwĩtĩkĩrie ũnumĩre andũ aya ũrĩ hau.”
28 Na Balak faa Balaam de no kɔɔ bepɔw Peor a ani kyerɛ nweatam no atifi pɛɛ no so.
Balaki akĩoya Balamu akĩmũtwara kĩrĩma igũrũ kĩa Peoru, kũngʼethera Werũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ kĩndũ.
29 Bio, Balaam kae se, “Si afɔremuka ason na siesie anantwinini ason ne adwennini ason ma me.”
Nake Balamu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Njakĩra igongona mũgwanja haha, na ũhaarĩrie ndegwa mũgwanja na ndũrũme mũgwanja.”
30 Balak yɛɛ nea Balaam kae no, enti ɔde nantwinini ne odwennini bɔɔ afɔre wɔ afɔremuka no biara so.
Balaki agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Balamu oigĩte, na o kĩgongona-inĩ agĩthĩnjĩra ndegwa ĩmwe na ndũrũme ĩmwe.
