1 Omiyo kane Balaam oneno ni berne Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedh Israel, ne ok otimo tim jwok kaka ne osetimo e kinde mokalo, to nolokore kongʼiyo yo thim.
2 Kane Balaam ongʼiyo oko mi oneno jo-Israel kochokore e dhoot ka dhoot, Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuome
3 mi nochiwo ote mare kama:
4 ote mar ngʼat mawinjo weche Nyasaye,
5 “Mano kaka hembe magi ber neno, yaye Jakobo,
6 “Gilandore ka holni,
7 Pi ma aa e dapigeni biro pongʼ mao oko;
8 “Nyasaye nogologi Misri;
9 Gilidho ka ginindo piny mana ka sibuor madichwo,
10 Eka Balak nobedo gi mirima mager gi Balaam. Noriwo lwetene kanyakla mi owachone niya, “Ne aomi mondo ikwongʼna wasika, to isemana gwedhogi ndalo adekgi.
11 Koro aa sani sani mondo idhi dala! Ne awachoni ni abiro miyi chudo maber, to Jehova Nyasaye osetami yudo chudono.”
12 Balaam nodwoko Balak niya, “Donge ne anyiso joote mane ioro ira niya,
13 ‘Kata bed ni Balak ne miya ode mar ruoth mopongʼ gi fedha gi dhahabu, to ne ok anyal timo gimoro amora gi pacha awuon mopogore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye bed ni ber kata rach?’
14 Koro adok ir jowa, to kapok adhi to we anyisi gima jo-Israel biro timo, asiemi kuom gik ma jogi biro timo ne jogi e ndalo mabiro.”
15 Eka Balaam nohulo ote moa kuom Nyasaye kama:
16 ote mar ngʼat mawinjo weche Nyasaye,
17 “Anene, to ok sani;
18 Obiro loyo piny jo-Edom e lweny mi okaw;
19 Jatelo noa e oganda joka Jakobo,
20 Eka Balaam noneno Amalek kendo nowachone ote mar Nyasaye kama:
21 Eka noneno jo-Keni kendo ochiwo oteneni:
22 kata kamano un jo-Keni ibiro negu ndalo
23 Eka nochiwo otene niya,
24 Yiedhi madongo mathoth nobi koa e dho nam mar Kitim;
25 Eka Balaam noa malo mi odok dala kendo Balak bende nodhi e yore owuon.
