1 Balaam wa tjiza kutja Muhona u nombango okusera ondaya kOvaisrael; ope ha zire okukapaha ovisanekero tjimuna ovikando mbi ovitenga, nungwari wa vingurura omurungu we na tara mokuti onguza, 2 na munu Ovaisrael ava kurama mozondanda otja komihoko vyawo; nOmbepo ya Ndjambi ye ya kombanda ye.
3 Eye wa hungira omaukiro we a tja: “Ombuze ya Balaam, omuzandu wa Beor; omambo womurumendu ngu nomeho nge muna mokuuka. 4 Ombuze yaingwi ngu zuva omambo wa Ndjambi, ngu muna omavandururiro wOmunamasaaehe, nu ngu wa pehi e nomeho nga paturuka. 5 Ozondanda zoye, Jakob, ozombwa tjiri, omaturiro woye, Israel! 6 Otja omikutu vyoturamba mbya tandavara kokure, otja ovikunino meṋe yonḓonḓu, otja ovindombo Muhona mbya kuna, otja otupapa meṋe yomeva. 7 Momahoro we mamu pupakana omeva, nu Israel ma honapara kombanda yoviwaṋa ovingi. Ombara ye omunamasa pu Agag, nouhona we mau tandavara kokure! 8 Ndjambi ngwe mu pitisa mOengipte me mu rwire otja otjimburu; oviwaṋa, mbi mavi mu rwisa, eye me vi nyono, na teya omaṱupa wavyo, na hahaura oviku vyawo. 9 Otjiwaṋa tja rara otja ongeyama onḓenḓu: Owaṋi ngu ma yenene okutjipendura? Ngu me ku sere ondaya ma serwa ondaya, nu ngu me ku sengi ma sengwa.”
10 Balak otja ṱomazenge tjinene na Balaam, na tono omake kumwe na tja ku ye: “Ami mbe kekupahera okusenga ovanavita na ami, nu tara, ove we ve sere ondaya potutatu! 11 Nambano hakahana u yaruke kehi roye! Ami mba ri nombango okukupa ondjambi onene; nungwari Muhona we ku kaerisa ondjambi ndji.”
12 Balaam opa tjera nai ku Balak: “Hi mu raerere ongahukiro kovatumwa voye mbu wa hindire ku ami, e tja: 13 ‘Balak nandi me ndji pe osilveri nongoldo aihe ndje ura mondjuwo ye youhona, himee yenene okukatuka omarakiza wa Muhona okutjita ouwa poo ouvi kombango yandje omuini; ami me hungire imbi Muhona mbi me ndji raere.’ 14 Nu ngunda ambi hiya yaruka kotjiwaṋa tjetu me ku tjivisa imbi Ovaisrael mbi mave tjiti kotjiwaṋa tjeṋu moruveze ndu maru ya.”
Omaukiro omasenina wa Balaam
15 Balaam wa hungira omaukiro we a tja:
“Ombuze ya Balaam, omuzandu wa Beor,
omambo womurumendu ngu nomeho nge muna mokuuka.
16 Ombuze yaingwi ngu zuva omambo wa Ndjambi,

17 Me munu, nu vari kanambano,

Onyose mai pitire mu Jakob,

18 Ehi ra Edom mari rire ouini we,
ehi rozondundu ra Seir wina;
nungwari Israel matji rire otjinamasa komurungu.
19 Mu Jakob mamu zu omuhona,
nu ma nyono ovataure vomovihuro.”
20 Nu Balaam tja muna Ovaamalek, wa hungira omaukiro we na tja:
“Otjiwaṋa otjitengatenga otjOvaamalek, nungwari ondjandero yatjo i ri pokuya.”
21 Nu Balaam tja muna Ovakeni, wa uka na tja:
“Omaturiro weṋu, Vakeni owo omazeu,
notjiruwo tjeṋu tja tungwa komatjo.
22 Nungwari eṋe mwa varerwa konyonokero.
Karure ndu ṱa pi, tjandje Asirie we mu twara otja ovahuurwa!”
23 Norukwao Balaam wa hungira omaukiro we a tja:
“Owee, owaṋi ngu ma kara nomuinyo,
Ndjambi tji ma tjiti ihi?
24 Ozondjuwozomomeva maze zu kOvakiti,
nOvakiti mave havere Ovaasirie nOvaeber,
nungwari owo oveni va varerwa konyonokero.”
25 Tjazumba Balaam we rirongera na yaruka kehi re; nu Balak wina wa twara ondjira ye.

nolyomukakuki ngoka e na omeho ga tonata:
5 Omatsali goye, Jakob, ogo opala ngiini!
Oonkalelo dhoye, Israel, odha poleka ngiini!
6 Odha andjalala dha fa omalusilu gomeya,

7 Omeya otaga kungulukile miiyuma yawo.
Otaa kunu oombuto dhawo momapya ga tosima.
Omukwaniilwa gwawo omunene e vule Agag,

8 Kalunga okwe ya tembudha muEgipiti;

Ngoka te ku yambeke, Israel, ota yambekwa,

10 Nena Balak okwa geele Bileam. Okwa dhenge iikaha ye kumwe e ta lombwele Bileam ta ti: “Onde ku ithana u ye u lile ndje aatondi yandje muumpulile, ihe peha lyasho owe ya laleke nuuyamba lutatu nokuli. 11 Shuna kaandjeni! Onda li ndu uvaneke tandi ku futu, ihe Omuwa okwe ku keelele okutaamba ondjambi.”
12 Bileam okwa yamukula a ti: “Onda lombwele aatumwa mboka wa tumine kutya 13 nando u pe ndje iisiliveli ayihe niingoli ayihe yu udha egumbo lyoye, itandi pandakana noshipango shOmuwa, ndi ninge sha mungame mwene. Otandi popi owala shoka Omuwa ta lombwele ndje, ndi shi popye.”
Ehunganeko lyaBileam lyahugunina
14 Bileam okwa ti kuBalak: “Ngashingeyi otandi shuna koyaandjetu, ihe manga inaandi ya, otandi ku lombwele shoka Aaisraeli taa ka ningila aantu yoye monakuyiwa.”
15 Okwa totomona ehunganeko lye a ti:
“Bileam yaBeor, popya;

16 Ndika ehunganeko lyomuuvi gwoohapu dhaKalunga,

20 Bileam okwa mono wo Amalek nokwa totomona ehunganeko lye a ti:
“Amalek oye oshigwana oshinankondo shotango,
ihe ehulilo lyasho olyo ekano lyasho.”
21 Sho a mono Aakeni, okwa totomona ehunganeko lye a ti:
“Oonkalelo dhoye odha gamenwa,
odhi li puule pemanya ngoshihandhila shontsa.
22 Ihe ne Aakeni otamu ka hanagulwa po.
Assur ote mu fala muupika.”
23 Bileam okwa tsikile okutotomona kwe a ti:
“Yayee, akwetse, olye ta kala nomwenyo,

24 Aayendifuta otaa zi kombinga yaKipro.
Otaa teya po Assur naEber,

25 Bileam sho a mana, okwa thikama e ta shuna kaandjawo, naBalak wo okwa yi nondjila ye.
