7 Balaamu nakamha Balaki ulonzi wa heye, nakalonga, “Balaki nakengala hano kulawa Alamu, ena, mndewa wa Moabu nakengala kulawa vidunda vya kolilawilaga isanya. ‘Uye uwapanjile wanhu wa Yakobo kwa chiwalo cha heni, ena, uye uwalonje vibi Waisilaeli!’
8 Ila ndompanjila ndaze munhu yawele Mkulu Nguluwi hambe yampanjile? Ndowalonga ndaze vibi wanhu wawele Mkulu Nguluwi hambe yawalonje vibi?
9 Kulawa kuli vinhembenhembe vya mitalawe nandiwona, kulawa mchanya mwa vidunda ndanguwasunjilila. Awo wanhu walingikala waliyeka, hawalingilola kota wanhu wa isi zinji.
10 Yalihi yoweza kuwawaza wanhu wa Yakobo kwa ndaze navyowawele wenji lukami, ama yoweza kuwaza honhu ha kane ha Waisilaeli? Hondibagama ndiwe kota munhu yatanganiche, kota Waisilaeli.”
11 Aho Balaki nakamlonjela Balaamu, “Nakunditila choni? Ndikugala hano leka uwapanjile wang'honyo wa heni, ila hegwe kwanguwatambichiza!”
