Balāmu Aha Umugisha ku Ncuro ya Gatatu
Balāmu areka kuraguza nk'ibisanzwe, maze Mwuka wa Data wa twese aramumanukira. Aha Abisiraheli umugisha ku nshuro ya gatatu, bikarakaza Balaki, hanyuma areba kure: inyenyeri ikomoka kuri Yakobo, inkoni y'ubutegetsi izamuka, n'imperuka ya Amaleki.
24 1Balāmu abona ko bishimishije Data wa twese guha Abisiraheli umugisha, nuko ntiyongera kuraguza nk'ibisanzwe, ahubwo yerekeza mu butayu. 2Balāmu akubita amaso abona Abisiraheli bakambitse umuryango ku wundi; nuko Mwuka wa Data wa twese aramumanukira. 3Arahanura ati: “Aya ni amagambo ya Balāmu mwene Bewori, amagambo y'umuntu ufumbuye ijisho, 4amagambo y'uwumva amagambo ya Data wa twese, ubona ibyahishuwe bya Nyirububasha, yikubita hasi afumbuye amaso: 5Mbega ukuntu amahema yawe meza, Yakobo, n'aho utura, Isiraheli! 6Ameze nk'ibibaya byaguye, nk'imirima iri iruhande rw'umugezi, nk'aloweri Data wa twese yateye, nk'amasederi ari iruhande rw'amazi. 7Amazi azatembera aturutse mu ndobo ze, kandi abamukomokaho bazagira amazi menshi. Umwami we azaba mukuru kurusha Agagi, kandi ubwami bwe buzakuzwa. a a v7 Agagi yari umwami w'Abamaleki, umwanzi wa kera w'Abisiraheli — umwami w'Abisiraheli azamuruta. 8Data wa twese akura Isiraheli mu Misiri; Isiraheli ameze nk'amahembe y'inzovu ku bantu. Isiraheli azamara amahanga amurwanya, akavunagura amagufwa yabo, akabatobora imyambi. 9Aryama, aryama nk'intare, nk'intare y'ingore—ni nde wamushotora ngo amubyutse? Hahirwa abaguha umugisha, kandi bavumwe abaguvuma.”
10Balaki arakarira Balāmu cyane, akubita amaboko. Balaki abwira Balāmu ati: “Nakuhamagaye ngo uvume abanzi banjye, nyamara dore wabasabiye umugisha incuro eshatu! 11None noneho fata iyo gutaha! Nari navuze ko nzaguha icyubahiro kinini, ariko dore Imana yakwimye icyubahiro.”
12Balāmu asubiza Balaki ati: “Mbese sinababwiye intumwa wanyoherereje nti: 13‘N'aho Balaki yampa ingoro ye yuzuye ifeza n'izahabu, sinakwica itegeko ry'Imana yanjye ngo nkore icyiza cyangwa ikibi ku bushake bwanjye; nshobora kuvuga gusa icyo Imana yanjye imbwiye’? 14None dore ngiye gusubira ku bantu banjye. Ngwino nkuburire icyo ubu bwoko buzagirira ubwoko bwawe mu minsi iri imbere.”
Inyenyeri Izava kuri Yakobo
15Nuko arahanura ati: “Aya ni amagambo ya Balāmu mwene Bewori, amagambo y'umuntu ufumbuye ijisho, 16amagambo y'uwumva amagambo ya Data wa twese, umenya ubumenyi bw'Isumbabyose, ubona ibyahishuwe bya Nyirububasha, yikubita hasi afumbuye amaso: 17Ndamubona, ariko si ubu; ndamwitegereza, ariko ntari hafi. Inyenyeri izaturuka kuri Yakobo, n'inkoni y'ubwami izahaguruka muri Isiraheli; izajanjagura mu gahanga ka Mowabu, igatsemba bene Seti bose. b b v17 Balāmu, umuraguzi w'umunyamahanga, aravuzishwa ubuhanuzi bw'Umwami uzaza. Iyi nyenyeri n'iyi nkoni y'ubwami byerekeza mu by'ukuri kuri Yezu, uwo Isezerano Rishya ryita “inyenyeri y'igitondo imurika” n'umutegetsi uva mu muryango wa Yakobo. 18Edomu azatsindwa, na Seyiri, abanzi be, bazatsindwa, mu gihe Isiraheli agenda arushaho gukomera. 19Umwe uzava muri Yakobo azategeka, akabarimbura abacitse ku icumu bo mu mujyi.”
20Nuko Balāmu abona Amaleki, arahanura ati: “Amaleki yari imbere y'amahanga yose, ariko iherezo rye ni ukurimbuka burundu.”
21Areba Umukeni, arahanura ati: “Aho utura ni hakomeye, icyari cyawe gishinze mu rutare. 22Nyamara Kayini azaribwa igihe Ashūru azakujyana ho umunyago.”
23Arahanura ati: “Ni nde uzabaho igihe Imana izakora ibi? 24Amato azaturuka ku nkombe za Kittimu; azahahaza Ashūru, agahahaza Eberi, ariko na yo azarimbuka burundu.” c c v24 Kittimu bishaka kuvuga ibihugu byo ku nkombe z'iburengerazuba bw'inyanja ya Mediterane — imbaraga z'inyanja zizaza mu bihe bizaza zirwanya Ashuru.
25Nuko Balāmu arahaguruka asubira iwe, na Balaki agenda inzira ye.
