Hisabu 22:17-24

¹⁷Ndokulipa vinojile ng'hatu na choneche choundanda ndokuditila goya. Uye uwapanjile wanhu wano.’ ”

¹⁸Ila Balaamu nakawedichila, “Hanga Balaki komha heni ng'handa ya heye imemile sendi na zahabu, heni siweza kuleka kuhulichiza ilajizo lya Mkulu Nguluwi, Nguluwi wa heni, kwa mbuli yoneche, ndodo ama ng'hulu.

¹⁹Ila dedede, muwase hano nechilo ayi kota wala wayenu, nani ndovizela kahi choyondonjela Mkulu Nguluwi.”

²⁰Lelo Nguluwi nakamuyila Balaamu nechilo ayo, nakamlonjela, “Wone wanhu wano nawoya kukuchema, uche hamwe na hewo, ila udite chila chondikulonjela hela.”

²¹Balaamu nakalilimka mitondo, nakaliwika goya idogowi lya heye, nakoka hamwe na hewo wakulu wa Moabu.

²²Nguluwi nakazudila ng'hatu kwa vila Balaamu nayali yoluta, ahyo mhilisi wa Mkulu Nguluwi nayali yatatamale mnzila kumlemeza kukola. Mhela awo Balaamu nayali yakwinile idogowi lya heye yawele na vitumagwa wa heye weli.

²³Lelo idogowi nalimona mhilisi ayo wa Mkulu Nguluwi yemile mnzila, yebatile ipanga lisomoligwe kuli yala yake. Ahyo nalileka nzila, naliluta hafungo. Balaamu nakalitowa idogowi alyo na kumhilula mnzila.

²⁴Hamba mhilisi ayo wa Mkulu Nguluwi nakalongola kumwando, nakema honhu hawele na nzila nzisili, hagati mwa migunda ja zabibu na lukanzi banzi zeng'ha mbili.
