¹Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli basuka, bamisa emathafeni akwaMowabi ngaseJordani ngaseJeriko.

²UBalaki indodana kaSipori wakubona konke u-Israyeli akwenza kuma-Amori.

³UMowabi wayesesaba kakhulu abantu, ngokuba babebaningi; uMowabi wakhathazeka ngenxa yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

⁴UMowabi wayesethi kumalunga akwaMidiyani: “Manje leli sixuku liyakuqeda njengezinkomo ezisihaqileyo, lidle utshani basendle; UBalaki indodana kaSipori wayeyinkosi yakwaMowabi ngaleso sikhathi.

⁵Wathuma izithunywa kuBileyamu indodana kaBeyori kuPhethori osemfuleni wezwe labantwana babantu bakubo ukuba zimbize, zithi: “Bheka, kuphume abantu eGibithe; bheka, zisibekela ubuso bomhlaba, futhi zihlala phambi Kwami.

⁶Woza-ke, ungiqalekisele laba bantu; ngokuba banamandla kunami; mhlawumbe ngizonqoba, ukuze sibahlule futhi sibaxoshe ezweni; ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi ombusisayo ubusisiwe, nalowo omqalekisayo uqalekisiwe.

⁷Abadala bakwaMowabi namalunga akwaMidiyani asuka ephethe umvuzo wokubhula esandleni sawo; zafika kuBileyamu, zakhuluma kuye amazwi kaBalaki.

⁸Wathi kubo: “Hlalani lapha namuhla ebusuku, ngizakunibikela izwi, njengalokho uJehova eyakukhuluma kimi; izikhulu zakwaMowabi zahlala kuBileyamu.

⁹UNkulunkulu wayesefika kuBileyamu, wathi: “Angobani lawa madoda onawo na?

¹⁰UBileyamu wayesethi kuNkulunkulu: “UBalaki indodana kaSipori, inkosi yakwaMowabi, wathumela kimi ukuba athi:

¹¹Bheka, kuphume abantu eGibithe, bembese ubuso bomhlaba; woza, ungiqalekisele bona; mhlawumbe ngizokwazi ukubanqoba ngibaxoshe.

¹²UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuBalami: Ungahambi lawo; Akumelwe uqalekise abantu, ngoba babusisiwe.

¹³UBileyamu wayeseqeda ekuseni, wathi kuzo izikhulu zikaBalaki: “Hambani niye ezweni lakini, ngokuba uJehova uyala ukungivumela ukuba ngihambe nani.

¹⁴Zase zisukuma izikhulu zakwaMowabi, zaya kuBalaki, zathi: “UBileyamu uyala ukuza nathi.

¹⁵UBalaki waphinda wathuma izikhulu, ezihloniphekayo kunazo.

¹⁶Zafika kuBileyamu zathi kuye: “Usho kanje uBalaki, indodana kaSipori, uthi: ‘Ungavimbeli lutho ukuba uze kimi.

¹⁷Ngokuba ngiyakukwenza ube nodumo olukhulu, ngikwenze konke ongitshela khona; woza, ungiqalekisele laba bantu.

¹⁸UBileyamu waphendula, wathi ezincekwini zikaBalaki: “Uma uBalaki efuna ukunginika indlu yakhe igcwele isiliva negolide, anginakweqa izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wami ngenze okuncane noma okukhulu.

¹⁹Hlala lapha lalobubusuku, ukuze ngazi ukuthi iNkosi izakutshoni kimi.

²⁰UNkulunkulu wafika kuBileyamu ebusuku, wathi kuye: “Uma la madoda efika ukukubiza, sukuma uhambe nawo; kodwa nokho izwi engizolikhuluma kini nize nilenze.

²¹UBileyamu waqeda ekuseni, wabophela imbongolo yakhe, wahamba nezikhulu zakwaMowabi.

²²Intukuthelo kaNkulunkulu yavutha ngoba wahamba, futhi ingelosi yeNkosi yema endleleni yesitha ngokumelene naye. Wagibela imbongolo yakhe, nezinceku zakhe ezimbili zinaye.

²³Imbongolo yayibona ingelosi kaJehova imi endleleni iphethe inkemba yayo ehoshiweyo esandleni sayo; imbongolo yachezuka endleleni, yaya ensimini; uBileyamu wayishaya imbongolo wayishintsha endleleni.

²⁴Kodwa ingelosi yeNkosi yema endleleni yezivini, ugange ngalapha nogange ngalapha.

²⁵Imbongolo yabona ingelosi kaJehova, yazicindezela odongeni nonyawo lukaBileyamu odongeni, wamshaya futhi.

²⁶Ingelosi kaJehova yahamba yema endaweni ewumngcingo, lapho kwakungekho ndlela yokuphendukela ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo.

²⁷Imbongolo yabona ingelosi yeNkosi yawela phansi phansi kukaBileyamu; ulaka lukaBileyamu lwavutha, wayishaya imbongolo ngodondolo.

²⁸I Nkosi yasivula umlomo wembongolo, yathi kuBalami: Ngenzeni kuwe ukuthi ungitshaye kathathu?

²⁹UBileyamu wayesethi embongolweni: “Ngokuba udlale ngami, sengathi ngabe nginenkemba esandleni sami, ngokuba manje sengifuna ukukubulala.

³⁰Imbongolo yathi kuBileyamu: “Angisiyo yini imbongolo yakho ohlezi phezu kwayo kusukela ngingowakho kuze kube namuhla na?” ngake ngakwenza lokho kuwe Wathi: Cha!

³¹UJehova wavula amehlo kaBileyamu, wayibona ingelosi kaJehova imi endleleni iphethe inkemba yayo ehoshiweyo; wagebisa ikhanda, wawa ngobuso.

³²Ingelosi kaJehova yathi kuye: “Uyishayeleni imbongolo yakho kathathu na? bheka, ngiphumile ukulwa nawe, ngokuba indlela yakho imbi phambi kwami.

³³Imbongolo yangibona, yachezuka kimi kathathu;

³⁴UBileyamu wayesethi kuyo ingelosi kaJehova: “Ngonile; ngokuba bengingazi ukuthi umi endleleni ngokumelene nami; ngizobe sengibuyela kuwe manje uma ungakuthandi.

³⁵Ingelosi kaJehova yathi kuBileyamu: “Hamba namadoda; kodwa kuphela izwi engizolikhuluma kuwe, okufanele ulikhulume. UBileyamu wahamba nezikhulu zikaBalaki.

³⁶UBalaki esezwile ukuthi uBileyamu usefikile, waphuma ukumhlangabeza emzini wakwaMowabi osemngceleni we-Arinoni, ekugcineni ogwini.

³⁷UBalaki wathi kuBileyamu: “Angithumanga nokuthuma kuwe ukuba ngikubize na? kungani ungezanga kimi ngingakwazi yini ukuKuphakamisela enkazimulweni ngokweqiniso?

³⁸UBileyamu wayesethi kuBalaki: “Bheka, ngize kuwe; nginamandla okukhuluma manje? izwi uNkulunkulu alifaka emlonyeni wami, ngiyakulikhuluma.

³⁹UBileyamu wahamba noBalaki, bafika eKiriyati-Husoti.

⁴⁰UBalaki wanikela ngezinkomo nezimvu, wakuthuma kuBileyamu nakuzo izikhulu ezazinaye.

⁴¹Ngangomuso uBalaki wamthatha uBileyamu, wamyisa ezindaweni eziphakemeyo zikaBali, ukuze abone ukuphela kwabantu elapho.
