1Balamu ku yaareebire ngu MUKAMA asiimire kuha Israeli omugisha, tiyaagyenda, nk'oku abaire naagyenda obundi, kusherura endagu, kureka yaahanga amaisho omu ihamba. 2Bwanyima yaimutsya amaisho, yaareeba Abaisraeli basiisiire nk'enganda zaabo oku ziri. Omwoyo wa Ruhanga yaamwijaho. 3Yaagamba ebigambo bye, naahanuura ati:

Okuhanuura kwa Balamu mwene Beori,

Okuhanuura kw'omushaija obaire ahumire,

4Okuhanuura kw'ogwo orikuhurira ebigambo bya Ruhanga,

Akareeba okworekwa kw'Ow'obushoboorozi bwona,

Ogwire ahansi, kwonka amaisho ge nigareeba;

Naagira ati:1

5Amahema gaawe ka ni marungi, iwe Yakobo;

N'ensiisira zaawe ka ni nungi, iwe Israeli!

6Zaaririkire, zaahika hare nk'empita,

Nk'emisiri y'aha rubaju rw'omugyera,

Nk'enkaka ezi MUKAMA yaabyaire,

Nk'emyereezi y'aha rubaju rw'amaizi.2

7Amaizi garyahimintika, nigaruga omu ndobo ze,

N'oruzaaro rwe ruryatuura ahu amaizi maingi gari;

Omugabe we aryaba mukuru okukira Agagi,

Kandi obugabe bwe buryahimbisibwa.3

8Ruhanga amwihire omuri Misri;

Aine amaani nk'ag'embogo;

Aryamaraho amahanga agarikumurwanisa,

Ahendagure amagufa gaabo,

Abarashe, aboozyemu emyambi ye.

9Abunzire, yaabyama nk'entare y'enshaija,

N'entare y'enkazi; n'oha owaakwemera kumwimutsya?

Orikukushabira omugisha weena, aguheebwe;

N'orikukukyeena weena, akyeenwe.4

10Balaki yaagirira Balamu ekiniga kingi, yaateera omu ngaro, yaamugira ati: Nkakweta kunkyeenera abazigu; mbwenu waabashabira omugisha egi mirundi yonshatu. 11N'ahabw'ekyo irooko, ogarukye owaawe; nkaba ninteekateeka kukukuza, nkakuhindura omuntu w'ekitiinisa kingi; mbwenu MUKAMA akikwimire. 12Balamu yaagira Balaki ati: Tindagambiire entumwa zaawe, ezi wantumireho, nti: 13N'obu Balaki yaakumpa enju ye eijwire efeeza n'ezaabu, tinkaabaasa kuhingura aha kigambo kya MUKAMA kukora ekirungi nari ekibi omu bwengye bwangye nyenka; kureka eki MUKAMA araagambe, nikyo ndaagambe? 14Mbwenu reeba, naaza kugaruka owaitu; ija nkuhanuurire eki eri ihanga ririkora abantu baawe omu biro bya bwanyima. 15Balamu yaagamba ebigambo bye, naahanuura ati:

Okuhanuura kwa Balamu mwene Beori,

Okuhanuura kw'omushaija obaire ahumire;

16Okuhanuura kw'ogwo orikuhurira ebigambo bya Ruhanga,

Akamanya obwengye bwa Rukira-boona,

Akareeba okworekwa kw'Ow'obushoboorozi bwona,

Ogwire ahansi, kwonka amaisho ge nigareeba,

Naagira ati:

17Nimmureeba, n'obu ndaabe ntarikumureeba hati;

Mmuhangire amaisho, n'obu araabe atari haihi;

Enyonyoozi eryaruga omuri Yakobo,

N'enkoni y'obugabe eimukye omuri Israeli;

Eryateera embaju zoona eza Moabu

Ecwekyereze beene Sheesi boona.5

18Edomu eryakubuurwa,

Seiri ekubuurwe, ensi ey'abazigu be,

Obwo Israeli naakora eby'obumanzi.6

19Omuri Yakobo haryarugamu omutegyeki,

Acwekyereze ab'omu ndembo abaahonokireho.

20Bwanyima yaareeba Abaamaleki, yaagamba ebigambo bye, naahanuura ati:

Amaleki niwe yaabaire ari ow'okubanza omu mahanga,

Kwonka omuheru gwe guryaba okucwekyerezibwa.

21Yaagaruka yaareeba Abakeeni, yaagamba ebigambo bye naahanuura ati:

Ahu otwire n'ah'amaani;

N'ekyashuri kyawe kiri omu rukiri;

22Kwonka Kaini aryanyagwa,

Okuhitsya obu Abaashuri barikutwara omu bunyagwa. 237

Yaagaruka yaagamba ebigambo bye naahanuura ati:

Ai bambe, Ruhanga ku arikora ekyo, n'oha origumaho?

24Kwonka emeeri ziryaruga Kitimu,

Zibonabonese Ashuri na Eberi;

Nawe acwekyerere.

25Bwanyima Balamu yaimuka, yaagyenda, yaagaruka owe; na Balaki yaayegyendera.
