4 Ntɛm ara, wɔne Midian mpanimfoɔ tuu agyina. Wɔkaa sɛ, “Saa dɔm yi bɛwe biribiara a wɔhunu sɛdeɛ nantwie we serɛ.” Enti, Moab ɔhene Balak
VaMoabhu vakati kuvakuru veMidhiani, “Vanhu vazhinji ava vachananzva zvinhu zvose zvakatipoteredza, semombe inonanzva sora romusango.” Saka Bharaki mwanakomana waZipori, uyo akanga ari Mambo weMoabhu panguva iyoyo,

Zvino, uya utuke vanhu ava, nokuti simba ravo iguru kwazvo kwandiri. Zvichida ipapo ndingagona kuvakunda ndikavadzinga vabude munyika ino. Nokuti ndinoziva kuti avo vaunoropafadza vanoropafadzwa, uye vaunotuka vanotukwa.”
7 Nnipa a ɔsomaa wɔn no yɛ atitire a wɔfiri Moab ne Midian. Wɔfaa sika sɛ wɔde rekɔtua Balaam ka ama wadome Israelfoɔ. Enti wɔkɔɔ Balaam nkyɛn kɔkaa deɛ ɛhia Balak kyerɛɛ no.

8 Balaam kaa sɛ, “Monna ma adeɛ nkye mo. Adeɛ kye a, deɛ Awurade bɛkyerɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, mɛka akyerɛ mo.” Enti wɔdaeɛ.
Bharamu akati kwavari, “Chivatai pano, ndichauya nemhinduro yandichapiwa naJehovha.” Saka machinda eMoabhu akagara naye.
9 Anadwo no, Onyankopɔn baa Balaam nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Saa nnipa yi yɛ ɛhefoɔ?”
Mwari akauya kuna Bharamu akamubvunza akati, “Vanhu vaunavo ndivanaaniko?”
10 Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Wɔfiri Moabhene Balak nkyɛn.
Bharamu akati kuna Mwari, “Bharaki mwanakomana waZipori, mambo weMoabhu, akanditumira nhume idzi achiti, ‘Vanhu vakabuda kubva kuIjipiti vakazadza nyika yose.
11 Na nnipadɔm bi firi Misraim aba ne hyeɛ so, na ɔpɛ sɛ mekɔ hɔ ntɛm so na mekɔdome wɔn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛtumi adi wɔn so.”
Zvino uya unditukire vanhu ava. Zvichida izvozvi ndingagona kurwa navo ndikavadzingira kure.’”
12 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nkɔ. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wodome wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, mahyira wɔn!”
Asi Mwari akati kuna Bharamu, “Usaenda navo. Haufaniri kutuka vanhu avo, nokuti vakaropafadzwa.”
13 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, anɔpa, Balaam ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Monsane nkɔ fie! Awurade rempene mma mennyɛ saa.”
Fume mangwana, Bharamu akamuka akati kumachinda aBharaki, “Dzokerai kunyika yokwenyu, nokuti Jehovha aramba kuti ndiende nemi.”
14 Enti, ɔhene Balak ananmusifoɔ no sane wɔn akyi bɛbɔɔ amaneɛ sɛ ɔse ɔremma.
Saka machinda eMoabhu akadzokera kuna Bharaki akati, “Bharamu akaramba kuuya nesu.”
15 Balak sɔ hwɛɛ bio. Saa ɛberɛ no deɛ, ɔsomaa nnipa dodoɔ pa ara a animuonyamfoɔ a wɔkyɛn kane dɔm no fra wɔn mu.
Ipapo Bharaki akatumazve mamwe machinda, akawanda chose uye aikudzwa kupinda vokutanga.
16 Wɔbaa Balaam nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔhene Balak se ɔsrɛ wo sɛ bra.
Vakasvika kuna Bharamu vakati: “Zvanzi naBharaki mwanakomana waZipori: Usatendera chimwe chinhu kukukonesa kuuya kwandiri,
17 Ɔbɛhyɛ wo animuonyam na sika biara a wɔbɛgye no no nso, ɔbɛtua. Ka sika a wobɛgye! Ɔse, wo deɛ, bra na bɛdome saa nnipa no ma yɛn.”
nokuti ndichakupa mubayiro wakanaka kwazvo uye ndichaita zvose zvaunoreva. Uya unditukire vanhu ava.”
18 Nanso, Balaam buaa sɛ, “Sɛ ɔma me ahemfie a wɔde dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahyɛ no ma tɔ koraa a, merentumi nyɛ biribiara mmu saa ahyɛdeɛ a Awurade a ɔyɛ me Onyankopɔn no ahyɛ no so.
Asi Bharamu akavapindura akati, “Kunyange dai Bharaki akandipa muzinda wake uzere nesirivha negoridhe, handingagoni kuita chimwe chinhu chikuru kana chiduku kuti tiite zvinodarika murayiro waJehovha Mwari wangu.
19 Nanso, monna ha ma adeɛ nkye na yɛnhwɛ sɛ Awurade bɛka asɛm foforɔ bi aka deɛ waka dada no ho anaa.”
Zvino chivatai pano manheru ano sezvakaita vamwe, ini ndichanzwa kana Jehovha ane zvimwe zvaangandiudza.”
20 Anadwo no, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Balaam sɛ, “Sɔre na wo ne saa nnipa no nkɔ na mmom, hwɛ yie na yɛ deɛ mɛkyerɛ wo sɛ yɛ no nko ara.”
Usiku ihwohwo Mwari akauya kuna Bharamu akati kwaari, “Sezvo vanhu ava vauya kuzokudana, enda hako navo, asi uite chete zvandinokuudza.”
21 Adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, ɔhyehyɛɛ nʼafunumu, tenaa ne so ne wɔn hyɛɛ aseɛ kɔeɛ.
Bharamu akamuka mangwanani, akaisa chigaro pambongoro yake akaenda namachinda eMoabhu.
22 Nanso, Onyankopɔn bo fuu Balaam ahopere a ɔde kɔeɛ no; enti ɔsomaa ɔsoro Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ kɔgyinaa akwantemfi sɛ ɔnkum no wɔ hɔ. Ɛberɛ a Balaam ne asomfoɔ baanu rekorɔ no,
Asi Mwari akamutsamwira zvikuru paakaenda, uye mutumwa waJehovha akamira munzira kuti amukonese. Bharamu akanga akatasva mbongoro yake, uye varanda vake vaviri vaiva naye.
23 prɛko pɛ, Balaam afunumu no hunuu Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no sɛ ɔkura sekan gyina ɛkwan no mfimfini. Aboa no kwae faa wiram nanso Balaam kaa ne so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛfa ɛkwan mu.
Mbongoro yakati ichiona mutumwa waJehovha amire munzira ane munondo wakavhomorwa muruoko rwake, yakabuda munzira ikapinda mumunda. Bharamu akairova kuti idzokere munzira.
24 Baabi a na Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no gyina hɔ no yɛ bobefuo afasuo mmienu ntam.
Ipapo mutumwa waJehovha akamira pakamanikana pakati peminda miviri yemizambiringa, paiva namasvingo kumativi ose.
25 Ɛberɛ a afunumu no hunuu Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no, ɔde ne ho twee ɔfasuo no ho maa Balaam nan pɛkyɛeɛ. Nanso, Balaam kɔɔ so hwee aboa no bio.
Mbongoro yakati ichiona mutumwa waJehovha, yakazvimanikidzira kurusvingo ikatsimbirira rutsoka rwaBharamu parwuri. Saka akapamhazve kuirova.
26 Afei, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no kɔɔ ɛkwan no anafoɔ kɔgyinaa baabi a ɛhɔ kyere pa ara a na afunumu no nnya baabi mfa.
Ipapo mutumwa waJehovha akapfuurira mberi akandomira panzvimbo yakamanikana pakanga pasina mukana wokutendeukira kurudyi kana kuruboshwe.
27 Enti, ɔbutuu ɛkwan no mu. Balaam de abufuo kaa aboa no mmaa.
Mbongoro yakati ichiona mutumwa waJehovha, yakavata pasi paBharamu, iye akatsamwa zvikuru akairova netsvimbo yake.
28 Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ afunumu no ma ɔkasaeɛ! Ɔbisaa ne wura no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na mayɛ enti a ɛsɛ sɛ wohwe me mprɛnsa?”
Ipapo Jehovha akashamisa muromo wembongoro, ikati kuna Bharamu, “Ndaiteiko kwamuri zvaita kuti mundirove katatu kose aka?”
29 Balaam nso buaa no sɛ, “Ɛfiri sɛ, woama masɛ ɔkwasea. Na sɛ mekura sekan a, anka mɛkum wo.”
Bharamu akapindura mbongoro akati, “Wandiita benzi iwe! Dai ndanga ndiine munondo muruoko rwangu ndingadai ndakuuraya izvozvi.”
30 Afunumu no nso bisaa no sɛ, “Me ne wo tenaeɛ yi, mayɛ sei pɛn?” Ne wura no buaa sɛ, “Dabi.”
Mbongoro yakati kuna Bharamu, “Ko, handisi mbongoro yenyu, yamunogara muchitasva kusvikira zuva rino here? Ko, ndinogara ndichikuitirai zvakadai here?” Iye akati, “Kwete.”
31 Afei, Awurade buee Balaam ani ma ɔhunuu ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ no sɛ watwe sekan gyina ɛkwan no mfimfini enti ɔkɔbutuu nʼanim.
Ipapo Jehovha akasvinudza meso aBharamu, iye akaona mutumwa waJehovha amire munzira ane munondo wake wakavhomorwa. Saka akakotama akawira pasi nechiso chake.
32 Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wohwe wʼafunumu no mprɛnsa saa? Maba sɛ merebɛka ama woagyae, ɛfiri sɛ, worepɛ adeɛ asɛe.
Mutumwa waJehovha akamubvunza achiti, “Warovereiko mbongoro yako rutatu rwose urwu? Ini ndauya pano kuzokudzivisa nokuti nzira yako haina kururama kwandiri.
33 Afunumu no hunuu me mprɛnsa a emu biara ɔkwae faa baabi; anyɛ saa a, anka mɛkum wo na magyaa no.”
Mbongoro yandiona ikatsauka ichibva pandiri katatu aka kose. Dai isina kutsauka, zvirokwazvo ndingadai ndakuuraya izvozvi, asi iyo ndairaramisa.”
34 Afei, Balaam ka kyerɛɛ Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Mafom. Na mennim sɛ wowɔ hɔ. Sɛ wompɛ sɛ metoa mʼakwantuo no so deɛ a, meresane akɔ efie.”
Bharamu akati kumutumwa waJehovha, “Ndatadza. Handina kuziva kuti manga mumire munzira kuti mundidzivise. Zvino kana musingafari, ndodzokera hangu.”
35 Nanso, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo ne nnipa no nkɔ, nanso asɛm a mɛka akyerɛ wo no nko na ka.” Enti Balaam ne wɔn kɔeɛ.
Mutumwa waJehovha akati kuna Bharamu, “Chienda hako navarume ava, asi utaure zvandinokuudza zvoga.” Saka Bharamu akaenda namachinda aBharaki.
36 Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Balak tee sɛ Balaam reba no, ɔfirii kuro no mu kɔhyiaa no Asubɔnten Arnon ho wɔ ne hyeɛ so.
Bharaki akati anzwa kuti Bharamu akanga achiuya, akabuda kuti andosangana naye paguta ravaMoabhu pamuganhu weAnoni, kumagumo kwenyika yake.
37 Ɔbisaa Balaam sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wokyɛɛ saa? Anaasɛ, mehyɛɛ wo bɔ sɛ mɛhyɛ wo animuonyam no na wonnye nni?”
Bharaki akati kuna Bharamu, “Handina kukudana nokukurumidza here? Seiko usina kuuya kwandiri? Ini handigoni kukupa mubayiro here?”
38 Balaam buaa sɛ, “Ɛwom sɛ maba deɛ, nanso menni tumi biara a mɛka asɛm biara agye asɛm a Onyankopɔn bɛka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no nko na mɛka.”
Bharamu akapindura akati, “Zvakanaka, zvino ndauya kwauri. Asi ndingataura zvose zvose here? Ndinofanira kungotaura chete zvinenge zvaiswa mumuromo mangu naMwari.”
39 Balaam kaa ɔhene no ho ne no kɔɔ Kiria-Husot,
Ipapo Bharamu akaenda naBharaki kuKiriati Huzoti.
40 baabi a ɔhene Balak de anantwie ne nnwan bɔɔ afɔdeɛ na ɔde mmoa no bi maa Balaam ne ne mpanimfoɔ sɛ wɔmfa mmɔ afɔdeɛ no.
Bharaki akabayira mombe namakwai, akapa zvimwe kuna Bharamu namachinda akanga anaye.
41 Adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, Balak faa Balaam de no kɔɔ Bamot-Baal atifi. Ɔfiri hɔ too nʼani hunuu sɛ Israelfoɔ no sam aseɛ hɔ.
Fume mangwana, Bharaki akatora Bharamu akakwidza naye kuBhamoti Bhaari, uye ikoko akaona chikamu chavanhu.
