1 Afei, Balaam hunuu sɛ Awurade pɛ sɛ ɔhyira Israel. Yei enti, wankɔ abisa sɛdeɛ ɔtaa yɛ no. Na mmom, ɔtoo nʼani hwɛɛ ɛserɛ no so,
Omiyo kane Balaam oneno ni berne Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedh Israel, ne ok otimo tim jwok kaka ne osetimo e kinde mokalo, to nolokore kongʼiyo yo thim.
2 hunuu sɛ Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo no abobɔ wɔn atenaeɛ. Afei, Onyankopɔn honhom baa ne so,
Kane Balaam ongʼiyo oko mi oneno jo-Israel kochokore e dhoot ka dhoot, Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuome
3 na yei ne nkɔmhyɛ a ɔmaaeɛ: “Beor ba Balaam nkɔmhyɛ no nie; nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfiri ɔbarima a nʼani hunu adeɛ yie,
mi nochiwo ote mare kama: “Ote Balaam wuod Beor, ote mar ngʼat ma wengene neno maber,
4 deɛ ɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm; deɛ ɔhunu anisoadeɛ a ɛfiri Otumfoɔ hɔ; na ɔda fam, a nʼani gu so:
ote mar ngʼat mawinjo weche Nyasaye, ngʼat maneno fweny moa kuom Nyasaye Maratego, ngʼat mopodho piny auma, kendo ma wengene oyawore.
5 “Ao Yakob, mo ntomadan yɛ fɛ, Ao Israel, mo afie yɛ ahomeka.
“Mano kaka hembe magi ber neno, yaye Jakobo, kuondeni mag dak, yaye Israel!
6 “Ɛsam mʼanim te sɛ mmɛfuo, te sɛ nturo frɔmfrɔm wɔ asubɔnten ho. Wɔte sɛ pɛperɛ a Awurade adua, te sɛ ntweneduro a ɛbɛn nsuo ho.
“Gilandore ka holni, mana ka puothe mantiere e bath aora, mana ka mane-mane ma Jehova Nyasaye opidho, bende mana ka yiend sida mopidh but pi.
7 Wɔbɛnya nsuo bebree. Wɔn mma bɛnya deɛ ɛhia wɔn nyinaa. “Wɔn ɔhene bɛyɛ kɛse akyɛn Agag; wɔn ahennie bɛkorɔn.
Pi ma aa e dapigeni biro pongʼ mao oko; kendo kothgi nochal gi pi mabubni. “Ruodhgi nobed gi teko moloyo Agag; pinyruodhgi notingʼ malo.
8 “Onyankopɔn de wɔn firi Misraim aba; ɔtwee wɔn sɛ wiram nantwie. Ɔsɛe amanaman a wɔtia no nyinaa, ɔbubu wɔn nnompe mu asinasini, ɔto bɛmma wowɔ wɔn.
“Nyasaye nogologi Misri; kendo gin gi teko machalo mar jowi. Gikidho oganda jowasikgi kendo gituro chokegi matindo tindo; kendo gichwowogi gi aserni mag-gi.
9 Israel butu hɔ sɛ gyata; ɔte sɛ gyataburu, na hwan na ɔbɛtumi anyane no? “Ao Israel, nhyira nka obiara a ɔhyira wo, na nnome nka obiara a ɔdome wo.”
Gilidho ka ginindo piny mana ka sibuor madichwo, bende mana ka sibuor madhako maonge ngʼama nyalo chiewo? “Mad joma ogwedhi gwedhi to joma kwongʼi mondo okwongʼ!”
10 Ɔhene Balak bo fuu Balaam. Ɔde Abufuo bɔɔ ne nsam guu ne so teaam sɛ, “Mefrɛɛ wo sɛ bɛdome, mʼatamfoɔ nanso woahyira wɔn mprɛnsa.
Eka Balak nobedo gi mirima mager gi Balaam. Noriwo lwetene kanyakla mi owachone niya, “Ne aomi mondo ikwongʼna wasika, to isemana gwedhogi ndalo adekgi.
11 Firi me so kɔ! Sane kɔ wo nkyi! Meyɛɛ mʼadwene sɛ anka mɛhyɛ wo animuonyam, nanso, Awurade de akame wo!”
Koro aa sani sani mondo idhi dala! Ne awachoni ni abiro miyi chudo maber, to Jehova Nyasaye osetami yudo chudono.”
12 Balaam buaa no sɛ, “Wonkae asɛm a meka kyerɛɛ wʼasomafoɔ no? Mekaa sɛ,
Balaam nodwoko Balak niya, “Donge ne anyiso joote mane ioro ira niya,
13 ‘Sɛ Balak ma me ahemfie a wɔde dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahyɛ hɔ ma koraa a, menni tumi sɛ mɛyɛ biribi atia Awurade apɛdeɛ.’ Meka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ asɛm a Awurade aka no nko ara na mɛka.
‘Kata bed ni Balak ne miya ode mar ruoth mopongʼ gi fedha gi dhahabu, to ne ok anyal timo gimoro amora gi pacha awuon mopogore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye bed ni ber kata rach?’
14 Afei, meresane akɔ me nkurɔfoɔ nkyɛn. Nanso, deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ma menka deɛ Israelfoɔ no bɛyɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ daakye no nkyerɛ wo.”
Koro adok ir jowa, to kapok adhi to we anyisi gima jo-Israel biro timo, asiemi kuom gik ma jogi biro timo ne jogi e ndalo mabiro.”
15 Yei ne nkɔmhyɛ a Balaam de maeɛ: “Beor ba Balaam nkɔmhyɛ no nie; nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfiri ɔbarima a nʼani hunu adeɛ yie,
Eka Balaam nohulo ote moa kuom Nyasaye kama: “Ote mar Balaam wuod Beor, ote mar ngʼat man-gi wangʼ maneno ler,
16 deɛ ɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm; deɛ ɔwɔ nyansa a ɛfiri Ɔsorosoroni no deɛ ɔhunu anisoadeɛ a ɛfiri Otumfoɔ hɔ; na ɔda fam, a nʼani gu so:
ote mar ngʼat mawinjo weche Nyasaye, ngʼat man-gi rieko moa kuom Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, ngʼat maneno fweny moa kuom Nyasaye Maratego, ngʼat moriere piny auma, kendo ma wengene oyawore.
17 “Mɛhunu no, nanso ɛnyɛ seesei; mehwɛ no wɔ daakye akyirikyiri. Nsoromma bɛpue afiri Yakob mu! Ahempoma bɛfiri Israel mu. Ɔbɛyam Moabfoɔ tiri, na wapaapae Moab mma tikwankora.
“Anene, to ok sani; asudo machiegni, to ok bute. Sulwe biro wuok koa kuom Jakobo; ludh loch biro wuok ei Israel. Obiro toyo wiye jo-Moab, kod wiye yawuot Sheth duto.
18 Wɔbɛfa Edom, na Seir a ɔyɛ ne ɔtamfoɔ no, wɔbɛdi ne so nkonim, na Israel bɛkɔ so adi nkonim.
Obiro loyo piny jo-Edom e lweny mi okaw; kendo Seir ma wasike, nokaw, to Israel nomed bedo motegno.
19 Ɔhene bi bɛsɔre wɔ Yakob mu ɔno na ɔbɛsɛe Ir nkaeɛfoɔ.”
Jatelo noa e oganda joka Jakobo, kendo enotiek joma otony mag dala maduongʼ.”
20 Afei, Balaam hwɛɛ Amalekfoɔ fie hyɛɛ nkɔm sɛ, “Amalek na na ɛyɛ aman nyinaa abakan, nanso ne hyɛberɛ ne ɔsɛeɛ!”
Eka Balaam noneno Amalek kendo nowachone ote mar Nyasaye kama: “Amalek ema ne okwongo kuom ogendini, to gikone ibiro tieke.”
21 Afei, ɔhwɛɛ Kenifoɔ hyɛɛ nkɔm sɛ, “Mo atenaeɛ yɛ pa ara, wanwono mo pirebuo wɔ abotan mu.
Eka noneno jo-Keni kendo ochiwo oteneni: “Kar dak mari nigi kwe, kari mar pondo ni e bwo lwanda;
22 Nanso, wɔbɛsɛe Kenifoɔ ɛberɛ a Asurhene afa mo nnomum.”
kata kamano un jo-Keni ibiro negu ndalo ma Ashur oterou e twech.”
23 Nsɛm a ɔde wiee ne nkɔmhyɛ no ne sɛ: “Aa, sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ sei a, hwan na ɔbɛtena nkwa mu?
Eka nochiwo otene niya, “Yaye, en ngʼa manyalo bedo mangima ka Nyasaye otimo ma?
24 Ahyɛn bɛfiri Kipro mpoano aba Na abɛka Eber ne Asur ahyɛ. Nanso wɔn nso, wɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa.”
Yiedhi madongo mathoth nobi koa e dho nam mar Kitim; gibiro mako Ashur kod Eber, to kata gin bende ibiro tiekgi.”
25 Enti, Balaam ne Balak sane kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
Eka Balaam noa malo mi odok dala kendo Balak bende nodhi e yore owuon.
