Ibarura 22 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

22 ¹Nuko Abisiraheli barahaguruka bashinga amahema mu kibaya cya Mowabu, iburasirazuba bwa Yorodani ahateganye n'i Yeriko. ²Balaki mwene Sipori abona ibyo Abisiraheli bakoreye Abamori byose. ³Abamowabu batinya cyane abo bantu kuko bari benshi; Abamowabu badedemba bazira Abisiraheli. ⁴Mowabu abwira abakuru b'Abamidiyani ati: “Iki kivunge kigiye kurigata ibidukikije byose, nk'uko ikimasa kirigata ibyatsi byo mu gasozi.” Icyo gihe Balaki mwene Sipori ni we wari umwami wa Mowabu.

⁵Nuko yohereza intumwa kwa Balāmu mwene Bewori w'i Petori, hafi ya Efurati mu gihugu cy'abantu be, ngo amumuhamagarize. Aravuga ati: “Dore hari ubwoko bwavuye mu Misiri; dore buzitiye isi burayitwikira, kandi butuye buhanganye nanjye. ⁶Noneho ngwino, ndakwinginze, umvumire ubu bwoko, kuko bundusha amaboko. Ahari nabasha kubatsinda nkabirukana mu gihugu, kuko nzi ko uwo uha umugisha aba uhesheje umugisha, naho uwo uvuma aba avumwe.”

⁷Nuko abakuru b'Abamowabu n'abakuru b'Abamidiyani baragenda, bafite mu ntoki ibihembo byo kuragura, bagera kwa Balāmu bamubwira amagambo ya Balaki.

⁸Arababwira ati: “Nimurare hano iri joro, nanjye nzabagarukana ijambo nk'uko Imana izambwira.” Nuko ibyegera bya Mowabu birara kwa Balāmu.

⁹Maze Data aza kwa Balāmu aramubaza ati: “Aba bagabo muri kumwe ni bande?”

¹⁰Balāmu asubiza Data ati: “Balaki mwene Sipori umwami wa Mowabu yantumye ati: ¹¹‘Dore ubwoko bwavuye mu Misiri bwatwikiriye isi. Ngwino rero ubamvumire, ahari nabasha kubarwanya nkabirukana.’ ”

¹²Ariko Data abwira Balāmu ati: “Ntukagende na bo. Ntukavume ubwo bwoko, kuko bahawe umugisha.”

¹³Balāmu azinduka mu gitondo, abwira ibyegera bya Balaki ati: “Nimusubire mu gihugu cyanyu, kuko Imana yanze ko njyana namwe.”

¹⁴Ibyegera bya Mowabu barahaguruka, bagaruka kwa Balaki, baramubwira bati: “Balāmu yanze kujyana natwe.”

¹⁵Nuko Balaki yongera kohereza ibyegera, ari benshi kandi bubashywe kurusha aba mbere. ¹⁶Baza kwa Balāmu bamubwira bati: “Balaki mwene Sipori aravuga ati: ‘Nta kikubuze kuza iwanjye, ¹⁷kuko nzaguha icyubahiro gikomeye, kandi nzagukorera icyo ari cyo cyose umbwiye. Ngwino rero, ndakwinginze, umvumire ubu bwoko.’ ”

¹⁸Balāmu asubiza abagaragu ba Balaki ati: “N'iyo Balaki yampa inzu ye yuzuye ifeza na zahabu, sinakwirengagiza itegeko ry'Imana yanjye, ngo nkora ikintu gito cyangwa kinini. ¹⁹None rero, ndabinginze, nimurare hano iri joro namwe, kugira ngo menye ikindi Data azambwira.”

²⁰Nuko Data aza kwa Balāmu nijoro, aramubwira ati: “Kuko aba bagabo baje kuguhamagara, haguruka ujyane na bo, ariko ukore gusa icyo nzakubwira.”

²¹Nuko Balāmu azinduka mu gitondo, ategura indogobe ye, ajyana n'ibyegera bya Mowabu.

Data Avugira mu Ndogobe

²²Ariko umujinya wa Data urakaza kubera ko yagiye, maze umumarayika wa Data ahagarara mu nzira abe umwanzi wa Balāmu. Balāmu yari ayuriye indogobe ye, ari kumwe n'abagaragu be babiri. ²³Indogobe ibona umumarayika wa Data ahagaze mu nzira, afashe inkota mu ntoki, ihindukira iva mu nzira yerekeza mu murima. Nuko Balāmu akubita indogobe ngo ayisubize mu nzira. ²⁴Hanyuma umumarayika wa Data ahagarara mu nzira ifunganye iri hagati y'imizabibu, hari urukuta impande zombi. ²⁵Indogobe ibona umumarayika wa Data, yegamira urukuta, ihagarika ikirenge cya Balāmu ku rukuta, nuko yongera kuyikubita.

²⁶Umumarayika wa Data akomeza imbere, ahagarara ahantu hafunganye nta ho kwerekeza iburyo cyangwa ibumoso. ²⁷Indogobe ibonye umumarayika wa Data, iryama munsi ya Balāmu; umujinya we urakaza, maze ayikubita inkoni ye.

²⁸Nuko Data akingura akanwa k'indogobe, iyibwira Balāmu iti: “Nagukoreye iki, ngo unkubite incuro eshatu?”

²⁹Balāmu asubiza indogobe ati: “Wankinishije! Iyo mba mfite inkota mu ntoki, nari kukwica nonaha.”

³⁰Indogobe ibwira Balāmu iti: “Mbese si jye ndogobe yawe wagendagaho iminsi yose y'ubuzima bwawe kugeza uyu munsi? Ese hari ubwo nigeze nkugirira ukundi?” Nuko aravuga ati: “Oya.”

³¹Maze Data akingura amaso ya Balāmu, abona umumarayika wa Data ahagaze mu nzira, afashe inkota mu ntoki, nuko yunama yikubita hasi.

³²Umumarayika wa Data aramubwira ati: “Kuki wakubise indogobe yawe gatatu? Dore naje nk'umwanzi, kuko inzira yawe iteye ubugome imbere yanjye. ³³Indogobe yambonye ihindukira iva imbere yanjye incuro eshatu. Iyo itahindukira, ubu nari kuba naragwishe, nkayirokora ubuzima.”

³⁴Balāmu abwira umumarayika wa Data ati: “Nacumuye, kuko ntari nzi ko wari uhagaze mu nzira ngo unkangarane. None niba ibi ari bibi mu maso yawe, nzasubira inyuma.”

³⁵Umumarayika wa Data abwira Balāmu ati: “Jyana n'abo bagabo, ariko uvuge gusa icyo nzakubwira.” Nuko Balāmu akomeza urugendo n'ibyegera bya Balaki.

³⁶Balaki yumvise ko Balāmu aje, asohoka kugira ngo amusanganire mu mujyi wa Mowabu, ku mupaka wa Arunoni, ku nkengero z'umupaka. ³⁷Balaki abwira Balāmu ati: “Mbese sinaguhamagaye nihutirwa? Kuki utaje iwanjye? Mbese ntabwo nari kubasha kuguha icyubahiro?”

³⁸Balāmu abwira Balaki ati: “Dore none nje iwawe; ariko mbese nabasha kuvuga ikintu icyo ari cyo cyose? Nshobora kuvuga gusa icyo Imana izashyira mu kanwa kanjye.”

³⁹Nuko Balāmu ajyana na Balaki, bagera i Kiriyati-Huzoti. ⁴⁰Balaki atamba inka n'intama, aha Balāmu n'ibyegera bari kumwe na we imigabane yabyo. ⁴¹Bukeye mu gitondo Balaki ajyana Balāmu, amuzamura ku Bamoti-Bāli, ahava abona abo bantu bari ku mpera.
