17 bualu nenkupeshe difutu dinene ne nengenze tshionso tshiwangambila bua kuenza. Nunku ndi nkulomba bua ulue kungelela bantu aba mulawu.’”
18 Kadi Balâma kuandamunaye bena mudimu ba Balaka ne: “Nansha Balaka mumpeshe nzubu wende muwule tente ne arjan ne or, tshiena mua kuenza bualu nansha bumue budi bubengangana ne dîyi dia Yehowa Nzambi wanyi, nansha bobu bukese anyi bunene.+
19 Kadi ndi nnulomba bua nushale muaba eu butuku ebu kabidi, bua ngumvue tshikuabu tshiangambila Yehowa.”+
20 Pashishe Nzambi wakalua kudi Balâma butuku, kumuambilaye ne: “Bikala bantu aba balue bua kukubikila, uye nabu. Kadi udi mua kuamba anu mêyi angakuambila bua kuamba.”+
21 Nunku Balâma wakajuka mu dinda, kusuikaye tshiseba pa mpunda* wende, kuyaye ne bakokeshi ba mu Moaba.+
22 Kadi tshiji tshia Nzambi tshiakatema bualu yeye uvua uya, ne muanjelu wa Yehowa wakimana mu njila bua kumupumbisha. Kadi Balâma uvua mubande pa mpunda wende, ne uvua ne bena mudimu bende babidi.
23 Kadi pavua mpunda mumone muanjelu wa Yehowa muimane mu njila mutule muele muwukuate ku tshianza, wakajinga bua kumbuka mu njila kuyila mu tshisuku. Kadi Balâma wakabanga kututa mpunda bua kumupingaja mu njila.
24 Pashishe muanjelu wa Yehowa wakimana mu kajila kakese pankatshi pa madimi abidi a tumuma tua mvinyo, kikale ne bimanu bia mabue ku nseke yonso ibidi.
25 Pavua mpunda mumone muanjelu wa Yehowa, wakabanga kudifinyina ku tshimanu, yeye kushindikila dikasa dia Balâma ku tshimanu, Balâma kubangaye kumututa kabidi.
26 Mpindieu muanjelu wa Yehowa wakapita kabidi, kuimanaye muaba mubumbakane uvua kawuyi ne mushindu wa kuyila ni nku dia balume ni nku dia bakaji.

28 Ndekelu wa bionso, Yehowa wakenza bua mpunda akule,*+ yeye kuambila Balâma ne: “Tshindi mukuenze ntshinyi bua wewe kuntuta misangu isatu eyi?”+
29 Balâma kuandamuna mpunda ne: “Bualu udi mumpotele. Bu meme muikale anu ne muele mu tshianza tshianyi, mvua mua kuikala mukushipe!”
30 Nunku mpunda kuambila Balâma ne: “Tshiena mpunda webe uutu ubanda matuku ebe onso too ne lelu anyi? Nkadiku mukuenzele nunku musangu mukuabu anyi?” Yeye kuandamuna ne: “Tòo!”
31 Pashishe Yehowa wakabulula mêsu a Balâma,+ yeye kumona muanjelu wa Yehowa muimane mu njila mukuate muele mu tshianza tshiende. Diakamue yeye kuinama, kutua mpala wende panshi.

33 Mpunda uvua mummone, kujingaye bua kungepuka misangu isatu eyi.+ Fuanyikija ne: kavua mungepuke to! Dîba edi mvua mua kuikala mukushipe ne mushiye mpunda ne muoyo.”
34 Balâma kuambila muanjelu wa Yehowa ne: “Ndi muenze mpekatu, bualu tshivua mumanye ne: wewe ke uvua muimane mu njila bua kusambakena nanyi to. Mpindieu biobi bikale bibi ku mêsu kuebe, nempingane.”
35 Kadi muanjelu wa Yehowa wakambila Balâma ne: “Ndaku ne bantu aba, kadi udi mua kuamba anu mêyi angakuambila.” Nunku Balâma wakatungunuka ne kuya ne bakokeshi ba Balaka.
36 Pavua Balaka mumvue ne: Balâma mmulue, wakaya diakamue bua kusambakena nende mu tshimenga tshia Moaba, tshidi ku muelelu kua Ânona ku mikalu ya buloba abu.

38 Balâma kuandamuna Balaka ne: “Mpindieu si ndi mulue kuudi. Kadi nebanganyishile bua kuamba bualu kampanda anyi? Ndi mua kuamba anu mêyi adi Nzambi wela mukana muanyi.”+
39 Nunku Balâma wakaya ne Balaka, kufikabu ku Kîyata-husota.
