Kodi ndingawatukwane bwanji amene Atate wathu sanawatukwane? ⁹Kuchokera pamwamba pa matanthwe ndikuwaona, kuchokera ku mapiri ndikuwayang'ana: anthu okhala paokha, osadziwerengera pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. ¹⁰Ndani angawerenge fumbi la Yakobo kapena kuwerenga ngakhale gawo limodzi la magawo anayi a Israeli? Ndife ngati momwe ofe owongoka mtima, ndipo chimaliziro changa chikhale ngati chawo!”

¹¹Balaki anati kwa Balaamu, “Wandichitira chiyani? Ndinakubweretsa kuti utemberere adani anga, ndipo taona—wawadalitsa basi!”

¹²Iye anayankha nati, “Kodi sindiyenera kusamala kunena chimene Mulungu waika m'kamwa mwanga?”

Mau a Atate Wathu Akhazikika

¹³Pamenepo Balaki anati, “Chonde bwera nane ku malo ena kumene ungawaone. Udzaona mphepete chabe yawo, osati onse, ndipo unditembererere iwo kuchokera kumeneko.”

¹⁴Iye anamtengera ku munda wa Zofimu, kumwamba kwa phiri la Pisiga, namanga maguwa asanu ndi awiri, napereka ng'ombe yamphongo ndi nkhosa yamuna pa guwa lililonse. ¹⁵Balaamu anati kwa Balaki, “Imani pano pafupi ndi nsembe yanu yopsereza pamene ine ndikakumana ndi Iye kutali uko.”

¹⁶Atate wathu anakumana ndi Balaamu, naika mau m'kamwa mwake, nati, “Bwerera kwa Balaki, ndipo unene zimenezi.”

¹⁷Iye anafika kwa iye—ndipo anali atayima pafupi ndi nsembe yake yopsereza, pamodzi ndi akalonga a Mowabu. Balaki anati kwa iye, “Kodi Mulungu wanena chiyani?”

¹⁸Iye anayambitsa mawu ake: “Imirira, Balaki, ndipo mvera; nditchere khutu, iwe mwana wa Zipori: ¹⁹Atate wathu si munthu, kuti anename, kapena mwana wa munthu, kuti asinthe maganizo ake. Kodi anayamba ananena kanthu nasachita? Kodi anayamba anayankhula nasakwaniritsa? ²⁰Taonani, ndalandira lamulo loti ndidalitse. Iye wadalitsa, ndipo sindingathe kusintha zimenezo. ²¹Iye sanaone tsoka mwa Yakobo, kapena kuona mavuto mwa Israeli. Atate wathu ali ndi iye, ndipo mfuu ya Mfumu ili pakati pawo. ^a a v21 Mfuu ya Mfumu: Mulungu wa Israeli akuwalamulira iwo monga Mfumu, ndipo mfuu yake yachipambano imawatsogolera kupita kunkhondo. ²²Atate wathu, amene anawatulutsa ku Igupto, ali kwa iwo ngati nyanga za njati. ^b b v22 Njati inali chinyama chachikulu, chimene tsopano chatha padziko; nyanga zake zinkaonetsa mphamvu zazikulu zosatheka kuweta. ²³Kulibe matsenga oti alimbane ndi Yakobo, kapena kuwombeza oti alimbane ndi Israeli. Tsopano za Yakobo ndi za Israeli zidzanenedwa kuti, ‘Taonani zimene Atate wathu wachita!’ ²⁴Taonani, anthu akuuka ngati mkango waukazi, akudzidzutsa ngati mkango; sudzagona pansi mpaka utadya nyama yomwe wagwira ndi kumwa mwazi wa ophedwa.”

²⁵Balaki anati kwa Balaamu, “Usawatemberere konse, ndipo usawadalitse konse!”

²⁶Koma Balaamu anayankha Balaki nati, “Kodi sindinakuuze kuti ndiyenera kuchita zonse zimene Mulungu wanena?”

²⁷Balaki anati kwa Balaamu, “Bwera, ndikutengere ku malo ena. Mwina Mulungu adzakulola kuti undiwatembererere kuchokera kumeneko.”

²⁸Choncho Balaki anatenga Balaamu kumwamba kwa phiri la Peori, limene limayang'anizana ndi chipululu. ²⁹Balaamu anati kwa Balaki, “Mundimangire maguwa asanu ndi awiri pano, ndipo mundikonzere ng'ombe zamphongo zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri pano.”

³⁰Balaki anachita monga Balaamu ananena, ndipo anapereka ng'ombe yamphongo ndi nkhosa yamuna pa guwa lililonse.
