Umbadilo 22:1-41
22 Penepo bene Isalela bataluka bakatūla nkambi mu malungu a Moabu mudi zolē bobwa bukila bwa Yodano kampalampala na Yediko.+
2 Ebiya Balake+ mwanā Zipole wamona byonso byobalongele bene Amole kudi Isalela,
3 kadi Moabu wakwatwa bantu’ba moyo, mwanda badi bangi bininge; bine, Moabu wabelele moyo pa mwanda wa bene Isalela.+
4 Penepo Moabu wanena bakulumpe ba Midyana+ amba: “Pano kino kipwilo kisa kusasamuna byonso bitujokolokele, enka musasamwinanga ñombe biyombo mu ntanda.”
Balake mwanā Zipole ye wadi mulopwe wa Moabu mu kine kitatyi’kya.
5 Penepa watuma mikendi kudi Balame mwanā Beole ku Petole,+ dya ku Dijiba* mu ntanda yabo. Wamwityija’mba: “Tala! Kudi bantu batamba mu Edipito. Tala! I bapūte ntanda+ yonso, kadi bashikete’tu ku meso ami.
6 Shi ke pano, nakwisāshila, iya umfingile bano bantu,+ mwanda i bakomo kumpita. Kepabulwe padi nkokeja kwibanekenya ne kwibapanga mu ino ntanda, mwanda ndyukile biyampe amba yewa oesela i mweselwe kadi yewa ofinga i mufingwe.”
7 Ebiya bakulumpe ba Moabu ne bakulumpe ba Midyana bataluka na mfutwa ya lubuko ku makasa abo baenda kudi Balame,+ bamulombola musapu wa Balake.
8 Nandi webatentulula’mba: “Lālai kuno, nsa kwiya kwimusapwila binenwa byonso bisa kunombola Yehova.” Penepa bamfumu ba Moabu bashikata na Balame.
9 Penepo Leza waiya kudi Balame, kamunena’mba:+ “Le bano bantu bodi nabo i bāni?”
10 Balame walondolola Leza wa bine amba: “Balake mwanā Zipole, mulopwe wa Moabu, wantumina musapu amba,
11 ‘Tala! Bantu batamba mu Edipito abapūta ntanda yonso. Shi ke pano iya umfingile’bo.+ Kepabulwe padi nkabwanya kulwa nabo ne kwibapanga.’”
12 Ino Leza wanena Balame amba: “Kufwaninwepo kwenda nabo. Kufwaninwepo kufinga bantu’ba, mwanda i beselwe.”+
13 Balame wabūka lubanga, wanena bamfumu ba Balake amba: “Endai ku yenu ntanda, mwanda Yehova wampeleja kwenda nenu.”
14 Penepo bamfumu ba Moabu bataluka, bakajokela kudi Balake kebamusapwila’mba: “Balame wapele kwiya netu.”
15 Ino Balake watuma monka bamfumu, bangi bininge kadi balēmekibwe kutabuka babajinji.
16 Baiya kudi Balame kebamunena’mba: “Balake mwanā Zipole wanena namino amba, ‘Nakwisāshila, kokaleka kintu nansha kimo kikukankaje kwiya kondi,
17 mwanda nkakulēmeka bininge kadi nkakulongela kyonso kyokanena kulonga. Nakwisāshila, iya umfingile bano bantu.’”
18 Ino Balame walondolola bengidi ba Balake amba: “Nansha shi Balake ampe njibo yandi miyule ndalama ne olo, nkibwanyapo kulonga kintu nansha kimo kitabuka musoñanya wa Yehova Leza wami, kikale kityetye nansha kikatampe.+
19 Ino nemwisāshilai, shikatai kuno ne buno bufuku, amba ndyuke i bika bikwabo bisa kunombola Yehova.”+
20 Penepo Leza waiya kudi Balame bufuku kamunena’mba: “Shi bano bantu i bāye kukwita, enda nabo. Ino ukesamba enka binenwa byonkakulombola kunena’bya.”+
21 Ebiya Balame wabūka lubanga, wavwika mpunda* wandi kishikato kaenda na bamfumu ba Moabu.+
22 Ino bulobo bwa Leza bwaaka mwanda waendele, mwikeulu wa Yehova waimana mu dishinda kumukankaja. Balame wadi ukandile pa mpunda wandi, ne bengidi bandi babidi badi nandi.
23 Mpunda pa kumona mwikeulu wa Yehova wimene mu dishinda na kipete kisomone mu kuboko kwandi, kasake kusāsuka mu dishinda ende mu budimi. Ino Balame washilula kukupila mpunda mwanda wa ajokele mu dishinda.
24 Penepo mwikeulu wa Yehova waimana mu kashinda katyetye kadi pa bukata bwa madimi abidi a mañanza, a mumbu ya mabwe bukila ne bukila.
25 Mpunda pa kumona mwikeulu wa Yehova, washilula kwityininya ku lubumbu, wafininya ne Balame kulu ku lubumbu, penepa Balame waanza kumukupila monka.
26 Ebiya mwikeulu wa Yehova wapita monka, waimana pa kakyaba katyetye pakomo mwa kwalamukila ku lundyo nansha ku lunkuso.
27 Mpunda pa kumona mwikeulu wa Yehova, walāla panshi aye Balame ukandile’po, penepo Balame waloba kakupila mpunda mukombo wandi.
28 Ku mfulo Yehova waneneja mpunda,*+ nandi wanena Balame amba: “Le nakulonga bika byowankupidila ino misunsa isatu?”+
29 Balame walondolola mpunda’mba: “I mwanda ubaunembakanya. Shi nadi’tu na kipete mu kuboko kwami, longa nakwipaya!”
30 Penepo mpunda wanena Balame amba: “Mwene amiwa ye mpunda obe okandanga’po mu būmi bobe bonso kufika ne dyalelo? Le kendi mukulonge monka uno muswelo?” Nandi walondolola’mba: “Aa!”
31 Penepo Yehova wapūtula Balame meso,+ wamona mwikeulu wa Yehova wimene mu dishinda na kipete kisomone mu kuboko kwandi. Ponkapo wafukata panshi kaevukwila ku meso andi.
32 Penepo mwikeulu wa Yehova wamunena’mba: “I kika le kyowakupidila mpunda obe ino misunsa isatu? Tala! Ami mwine nadi naiya kukukankaja, mwanda lwendo lobe kelukwatañenepo na kiswa-mutyima kyami.+
33 Mpunda waumonanga, kasake kunsāsuka ino misunsa isatu.+ Langa’po bidi shi kaunsāsukilepo! Longa panenwa pano kendi mukwipaye ino mpunda aye washala mūmi.”
34 Balame watentulula mwikeulu wa Yehova amba: “Napi mambo, mwanda nkyadipo ndyukile amba i abewa wadi wimene mu dishinda kunsambakana. Shi i bibi ku meso obe, nankyo njoke.”
35 Ino mwikeulu wa Yehova wanena Balame amba: “Enda na bano bantu, ino ukesamba enka binenwa byonkakulombola.” Penepo Balame waenda na bamfumu ba Balake.
36 Balake pa kwivwana’mba Balame waiya, watamba bukidibukidi kukamutundaila ku kibundi kya Moabu, kidi ku lubungo lwa Alenona ku mukalañano wa ntanda.
37 Balake wanena Balame amba: “Mwene natumine bantu kukwita? Mwanda waka kwailepo kondi? Le wadi ulanga’mba nkibwanyapo kukulēmeka bikatampe?”+
38 Balame walondolola Balake amba: “Pano naiya kodi. Ino le nkokeja kupebwa lupusa lwa kunena kintu? Nkesamba enka binenwa bitūla Leza mu kyakanwa kyami.”+
39 Penepo Balame waenda na Balake, bafika ku Kidiata-Huzota.
40 Balake watapa bitapwa bya bañombe ne mikōko, watumina’ko ne Balame ne bamfumu baadi nabo.
41 Lubanga Balake wasela Balame wakanda nandi ku Bamote-Bāla; kwine’kwa wadi ubwanya kumona bantu bonso.+
