7 Ebiya bakulumpe ba Moabu ne bakulumpe ba Midyana bataluka na mfutwa ya lubuko ku makasa abo baenda kudi Balame,+ bamulombola musapu wa Balake.

25 Isalela paadi wikele mu Shityime,+ bantu bashilwile kulonga busekese na bana ba Moabu bana-bakaji.+ 2 Bana-bakaji baita bantu ku bitapwa bya baleza babo,+ bantu nabo baanza kudya ne kwivukwila kudi baleza babo.+ 3 Penepo Isalela welunga ku butōtyi bwa* Bāla wa Peole,+ Yehova nandi wakalabela Isalela.

17 “Katambei bene Midyana mwibepaye,+ 18 mwanda abemutambe na bilongwa byabo bya bukosoke mu mwanda wa Peole+ ne wa Kozibi mwanā mfumu wa Midyana, mwanabo mwana-mukaji waipailwe+ mu difuku dya kimpengele pa owa mwanda wa Peole.”+

8 Kadi ketwakilongai busekese,* mwālongele bamobamo mu bukata mwabo busekese,* ne kufwa bafwa, bantu 23 000 mu difuku dimo.+

14 “‘Inoko, kudi myanda mityetye yondi nobe, udi mwamo na bantu balamete ku bufundiji bwa Balame,+ wāfundije Balake+ kutūla kya kukukaja ku meso a bana ba Isalela, kudya bintu bitapilwe bilezaleza ne kulonga busekese.*+
