19 Kalunga hamuntu a popye iifundja,
Ye hamuna gwomuntu i idhiladhilulule.
A uvaneke sha ye kee shi gwanithe;

20 Onda nongekwa okuyambeka,

21 Omuntu ka mono omukundu muJakob

22 Kalunga okwe ya tembudha muEgipiti;
oku ya lile po a fa ooniga dhonyati.
23 Kaku na uumpulile tau li Jakob,
kaku na uulodhi tau logo Israel.
Ngashingeyi aantu taa popi Jakob naIsrael taa ti:
‘Tala shoka Kalunga a ningi!’
24 Oshigwana shaIsrael osha thikama sha fa onkoshi onyali.
Ongaashi onime otashi iyelutha po,

manga inaashi nwa ombinzi yoshihakanwa shasho she shi dhipaga.”
25 Nena Balak okwa ti kuBileam: “Owa tindi okuthinga Aaisraeli, ihe ino ya laleka wo nuuyamba!”
26 Bileam okwa yamukula a ti: “Inandi ku lombwela nani kutya otandi ningi ashike shoka Omuwa ta lombwele ndje?”
Ehunganeko etitatu lyaBileam
27 Balak okwa ti: “Ila, tu ye ndi ku fale kehala lilwe. Pamwe Kalunga ota ka pitika, u ya lile ndje muumpulile nkoka.” 28 Okwa fala Bileam kondungu yondundu Peor, ndjoka ya tumbalala mombuga. 29 Bileam okwe mu lombwele e ta ti: “Tungila ndje iiyambelo iheyali mpaka e to etele ndje oongombe heyali noonzi oondumentu heyali.” 30 Balak okwa ningi, ngaashi a lombwelwa, e ta yambele ongombe nonzi ondumentu koshiyambelo kehe.
