1 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 Kane Balaam ongʼiyo oko mi oneno jo-Israel kochokore e dhoot ka dhoot, Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuome 3 mi nochiwo ote mare kama:
“Ote Balaam wuod Beor,
ote mar ngʼat ma wengene neno maber,
4 ote mar ngʼat mawinjo weche Nyasaye,
ngʼat maneno fweny moa kuom Nyasaye Maratego,
ngʼat mopodho piny auma, kendo ma wengene oyawore.
5 “Mano kaka hembe magi ber neno, yaye Jakobo,
kuondeni mag dak, yaye Israel!
6 “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 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 “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 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 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 Koro aa sani sani mondo idhi dala! Ne awachoni ni abiro miyi chudo maber, to Jehova Nyasaye osetami yudo chudono.”
12 Balaam nodwoko Balak niya, “Donge ne anyiso joote mane ioro ira niya, 13 ‘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 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.”
Ote mar angʼwen mane Nyasaye omiyo Balaam
15 Eka Balaam nohulo ote moa kuom Nyasaye kama:
“Ote mar Balaam wuod Beor,
ote mar ngʼat man-gi wangʼ maneno ler,
16 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 “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 Obiro loyo piny jo-Edom e lweny mi okaw;
kendo Seir ma wasike, nokaw,
to Israel nomed bedo motegno.
19 Jatelo noa e oganda joka Jakobo,
kendo enotiek joma otony mag dala maduongʼ.”
Ote mogik mane Nyasaye omiyo Balaam
20 Eka Balaam noneno Amalek kendo nowachone ote mar Nyasaye kama:
“Amalek ema ne okwongo kuom ogendini,
to gikone ibiro tieke.”
21 Eka noneno jo-Keni kendo ochiwo oteneni:
“Kar dak mari nigi kwe,
kari mar pondo ni e bwo lwanda;
22 kata kamano un jo-Keni ibiro negu ndalo
ma Ashur oterou e twech.”
23 Eka nochiwo otene niya,
“Yaye, en ngʼa manyalo bedo mangima ka Nyasaye otimo ma?
24 Yiedhi madongo mathoth nobi koa e dho nam mar Kitim;
gibiro mako Ashur kod Eber,
to kata gin bende ibiro tiekgi.”
25 Eka Balaam noa malo mi odok dala kendo Balak bende nodhi e yore owuon.
