Numbers 22
1 And the children of Israel departed, and encamped on the west of Moab by Jordan toward Jericho.
Sai Isra’ilawa suka kama hanya, suka tafi filayen Mowab, a wajen Urdun, a ƙetare Yeriko, suka yi sansani a can.
2 And when Balac son of Sepphor saw all that Israel did to the Amorite,
To, fa, Balak ɗan Ziffor ya ga duk abin da Isra’ila suka yi da Amoriyawa.
3 then Moab feared the people exceedingly because they were many; and Moab was grieved before the face of the children of Israel.
Sai Mowab ya firgita ƙwarai saboda yawan mutanen. Tsoron Isra’ilawa ya kama su.
4 And Moab said to the elders of Madiam, Now shall this assembly lick up all that are round about us, as a calf would lick up the green [herbs] of the field: —and Balac son of Sepphor was king of Moab at that time.
Sai Mowabawa suka ce wa dattawan Midiyawa, “Wannan taron zai lashe duk abin da ya kewaye mu kamar yadda saniya takan lashe ciyawa a fili.” Saboda haka Balak ɗan Ziffor, wanda yake sarkin Mowab a lokacin,
5 And he sent ambassadors to Balaam the son of Beor, to Phathura, which is on a river of the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people is come out of Egypt, and behold it has covered the face of the earth, and it has encamped close to me.
ya aika manzanni su zo da Bala’am ɗan Beyor, wanda yake a Fetor, kusa da Kogi, a ƙasar haihuwarsa. Balak ya ce, “Ga mutane sun fito daga Masar; sun mamaye ƙasar, suka kuma yi sansani kusa da ni.
6 And now come, curse me this people, for it is stronger than we; if we may be able to strike some of them, and I will cast them out of the land: for I know that whoever you do bless, they are blessed, and whoever you do curse, they are cursed.
Ka zo yanzu ka la’anta waɗannan mutane, domin sun fi ƙarfina. Wataƙila zan iya cin nasara a kansu, in kuma kore su daga ƙasar. Gama na sani duk waɗanda ka sa musu albarka, sun zama masu albarka ke nan, waɗanda kuma ka la’anta, sun la’antu ke nan.”
7 And the elders of Moab went, and the elders of Madiam, and their divining [instruments were] in their hands; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balac.
Sai dattawan Mowab da na Midiyawa suka tashi, suka ɗauki kuɗi don duba. Da suka zo wurin Bala’am sai suka faɗa masa abin da Balak ya ce.
8 And he said to them, Tarry here the night, and I will answer you the things which the Lord shall say to me; and the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
Bala’am ya ce musu, “Ku kwana a nan, ni kuwa zan faɗa muku abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa mini.” Saboda haka dattawan sarkin Mowab suka zauna da shi.
9 And God came to Balaam, and said to him, Who are these men with you?
Sai Allah ya zo wurin Bala’am ya ce, “Su wane ne waɗannan tare da kai?”
10 And Balaam said to God, Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab, sent them to me, saying,
Bala’am ya ce wa Allah, “Balak ɗan Ziffor, sarkin Mowab ne, ya aiko mini wannan saƙo cewa,
11 Behold, a people has come forth out of Egypt, and has covered the face of the land, and it has encamped near to me; and now come, curse it for me, if indeed I shall be able to strike it, and cast it out of the land.
‘Ga mutane sun fito daga Masar sun mamaye ƙasar. Ka zo yanzu ka la’anta mini su. Wataƙila ta haka zan yi nasara a kansu, in kuma kore su.’”
12 And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them, neither shall you curse the people; for they are blessed.
Amma Allah ya ce wa Bala’am, “Kada ka tafi tare da su. Kada ka la’anta mutanen nan, gama su masu albarka ne.”
13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balac, Depart quickly to your lord; God does not permit me to go with you.
Kashegari Bala’am ya tashi ya ce wa dattawan Balak, “Ku koma ƙasarku, domin Ubangiji ya hana ni in tafi tare da ku.”
14 And the princes of Moab rose, and came to Balac, and said, Balaam will not come with us.
Saboda haka dattawan Mowab suka koma wurin Balak suka ce, “Bala’am ya ƙi yă zo tare da mu.”
15 And Balac yet again sent more princes and more honorable than they.
Sai Balak ya aika waɗansu dattawa masu yawa, masu daraja kuma fiye da na dā.
16 And they came to Balaam, and they say to him, Thus says Balac the son of Sepphor: I beseech you, delay not to come to me.
Suka zo wurin Bala’am suka ce, “Ga abin da Balak ɗan Ziffor ya ce, Kada ka bar wani abu yă hana ka zuwa wurina,
17 For I will greatly honor you, and will do for you whatever you shall say; come then, curse me this people.
gama zan ba ka lada mai yawa in kuma yi duk abin da ka ce. Ka zo ka la’anta mini waɗannan mutane.”
18 And Balaam answered and said to the princes of Balac, If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I shall not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord God, to make it little or great in my mind.
Amma Bala’am ya amsa musu ya ce, “Ko da a ce Balak zai ba ni gidansa cike da azurfa da zinariya, ba zan yi wani abu ko kaɗan saɓanin umarnin Ubangiji Allahna ba.
19 And now do you also wait here this night, and I shall know what the Lord will yet say to me.
To, fa, sai ku kwana a nan kamar yadda waɗancan suka yi, ni kuma in roƙi Ubangiji, in ji, wace magana zai ce mini.”
20 And God came to Balaam by night, and said to him, If these men are come to call you, rise and follow them; nevertheless the word which I shall speak to you, it shall you do.
A wannan dare, Allah ya zo wurin Bala’am ya ce, “Da yake waɗannan mutane sun zo su tafi da kai, to, ka tafi tare da su, sai dai ka yi abin da na ce ka yi ne kaɗai.”
21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
Bala’am ya tashi da safe, ya ɗaura wa jakarsa sirdi, ya tafi tare da dattawan Mowab.
22 And God was very angry because he went; and the angel of the Lord rose up to withstand him. Now he had mounted his ass, and his two servants were with him.
Amma Allah ya husata sa’ad da ya tafi, mala’ikan Ubangiji kuwa ya tsaya a hanya don yă hana shi. Bala’am kuwa yana kan jakarsa tare da bayinsa biyu.
23 And when the ass saw the angel of God standing opposite in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, then the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field; and [Balaam] struck the ass with his staff to direct her in the way.
Da jakar ta hangi mala’ikan Ubangiji tsaye a hanya da takobi a hannunsa, sai ta kauce daga hanya, ta shiga jeji. Bala’am kuwa ya buge ta don tă koma hanya.
24 And the angel of the Lord stood in the avenues of the vines, a fence [being] on this side and a fence on that.
Sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya tsaya a wata matsattsiyar hanya tsakanin gonaki inabi biyu, da bango a kowane gefe.
25 And when the ass saw the angel of God, she thrust herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall, and he struck her again.
Sa’ad da jakar ta ga mala’ikan Ubangiji, sai ta matse a jikin bango, ta goge ƙafar Bala’am da bangon. Saboda haka sai Bala’am ya sāke bugunta.
26 And the angel of the Lord went farther, and came and stood in a narrow place where it was impossible to turn to the right or the left.
Sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya sha gabansa, ya tsaya a ƙunƙuntaccen wuri inda ba wurin juyawa dama ko hagu.
27 And when the ass saw the angel of God, she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam was angry, and struck the ass with his staff.
Da jakar ta ga mala’ikan Ubangiji, sai ta kwanta a ƙasa, Bala’am kuwa ya husata, sai ya buge ta da sandansa.
28 And God opened the mouth of the ass, and she says to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have struck me this third time?
Ubangiji ya buɗe bakin jakar, sai jakar ta ce wa Bala’am, “Me na yi maka da ka buge ni har sau uku?”
29 And Balaam said to the ass, Because you have mocked me; and if I [had] had a sword in my hand, I would now have killed you.
Bala’am ya ce wa jakar “Domin kin wulaƙanta ni! Da a ce ina da takobi a hannuna da zan kashe ki nan take.”
30 And the ass says to Balaam, [Am] not I your ass on which you have ridden since your youth till this day? did I ever do thus to you, utterly disregarding [you]? and he said, No.
Jakar ta ce wa Bala’am, “Ni ba jakarka ba ce wadda kake hawa kullum, har yă zuwa yau? Na taɓa yin maka haka?” Bala’am ya ce, “A’a.”
31 And God opened the eyes of Balaam, and he sees the angel of the Lord withstanding [him] in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, and he stooped down and worshipped on his face.
Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya buɗe idanun Bala’am, ya kuwa ga mala’ikan Ubangiji tsaye a hanya da takobi a zāre. Sai ya sunkuyar da kansa, ya fāɗi rubda ciki.
32 And the angel of God said to him, Why have you struck your ass this third time? and, behold, I came out to withstand you, for your way was not seemly before me; and when the ass saw me, she turned away from me this third time.
Sa’an nan mala’ikan Ubangiji ya tambaye shi, “Don me ka buge jakarka har sau uku? Na fito ne don in hana ka, gama hanyarka ba daidai ba ce a gabana.
33 And if she had not turned out of the way, surely now, I should have slain you, and should have saved her alive.
Jakar ta gan ni, ta kauce mini har sau uku. Da a ce ba tă kauce ba, lalle da na kashe ka, in kuwa bar ta da rai.”
34 And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing opposite in the way to meet [me]; and now if it shall not be pleasing to you [for me to go on], I will return.
Bala’am ya ce wa mala’ikan Ubangiji, “Na yi zunubi. Ban san ka tsaya a hanya don ka hana ni ba. Yanzu in ba ka ji daɗin tafiyata, sai in koma.”
35 And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men: nevertheless the word which I shall speak to you, that you shall take heed to speak. And Balaam went with the princes of Balac.
Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce wa Bala’am, “Ka tafi tare da mutanen, amma abin da na faɗa maka ne kaɗai za ka faɗa.” Saboda haka Bala’am ya tafi tare da dattawan Balak.
36 And when Balac heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him, to a city of Moab, which is on the borders of Arnon, which is on the [extreme] part of the borders.
Da Balak ya ji cewa Bala’am yana zuwa, sai ya fito, ya tarye shi a garin Mowabawa da suke a iyakar Arnon, a ƙarshen yankinsa.
37 And Balac said to Balaam, Did I not send to you to call you? why have you not come to me? shall I not indeed be able to honor you?
Balak ya ce wa Bala’am, “Ban aika maka saƙo cikin gagawa ba? Me ya sa ba ka zo ba? Ko ban isa in sāka maka ba ne?”
38 And Balaam said to Balac, Behold, I am now come to you: shall I be able to say anything? the word which God shall put into my mouth, that I shall speak.
Bala’am ya amsa ya ce, “To, ai, ga shi, na zo yanzu. Ina da wani ikon yin wata magana ne? Dole in faɗa abin da Allah ya ce in faɗa ne kawai.”
39 And Balaam went with Balac, and they came to the cities of streets.
Sa’an nan Bala’am ya tafi tare da Balak zuwa Kiriyat-Huzot,
40 And Balac offered sheep and calves, and sent to Balaam and to his princes who were with him.
a can ya yi hadaya da shanu da tumaki, ya kuwa aika wa Bala’am da dattawan da suke tare da shi.
41 And it was morning; and Balac took Balaam, and brought him up to the pillar of Baal, and showed him thence a part of the people.
Kashegari, Balak ya ɗauki Bala’am ya kai shi kan Bamot Ba’al, daga can ya iya ganin sassan sansanin Isra’ilawa.
