Idisu 17
1 Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
2 “Isala: ili dunuma ilia da dima galiamo fagoyale gala ima: ne sia: ma. Amo galiamo da afae afae Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu fagoyale gala ilia galiamo agoane. Amo dunu ilia dio afae afae amo galiamo damana dedema.
Speak unto the sons of Israel and take of them one staff each for an ancestral house of all their princes, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves, —each man’s name, shalt thou write upon his staff;
3 Amola galiamo amo da Lifai fi ilia galiamo amoga Elane ea dio dedema. Fi ouligisu dunu afae afae da galiamo afae dialebe ba: mu.
and, Aaron’s name, shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi, —for, one staff, shall there be for the head of their ancestral house.
4 Amo galiamo Na Abula Diasuga gaguli misini, Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili (amoga Na da di gousa: sa) amo midadi ligisima.
Then shalt thou lay them up in the tent of meeting, —before the testimony, where I meet with you.
5 Amasea Na ilegei dunu ea galiamo da fadagala: mu. Amo hamobeba: le, Na da Isala: ili dunu ilia mae fisili dima egane sia: su amo hedofamu.”
So shall it come to pass, that, the man whom I shall choose, his staff, shall bud, —so will I cause to cease from against me the murmurings of the sons of Israel, wherewith they, are murmuring against you.
6 Amaiba: le, Mousese da Isala: ili dunuma sia: beba: le, ilia ouligisu dunu afae afae da ema galiamo i. Amo galiamo da fi fagoyale afae afae gala, ilia: Amola ilia da Elane ea galiamo amo galiamo enoma gilisi.
And Moses spake unto the sons of Israel and every one of their princes gave unto him, a staff apiece, for each prince, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves, —and the staff of Aaron, was in the midst of their staves.
7 Amalalu, Mousese da galiamo huluane Abula Diasu amo Hina Gode Ea Sema Gousa: su Gagili midadi amoga ligisi.
So Moses laid up the staves before Yahweh, —in the tent of the testimony.
8 Aya eso amoga, Mousese da Abula Diasu ganodini golili sa: ili, Elane ea galiamo (amo da Lifai fi ilia galiamo) amo da fadagala: i dagoi ba: i. Amo da yebese hamone, sogea hamone, ‘alamode’ fage legei dagoi ba: i.
And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses entered into the tent of the testimony; and lo! the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi, had budded, —yea it had brought forth buds and bloomed blossoms, and borne ripe almonds.
9 Mousese da galiamo huluane gaguli asili, Isala: ili dunuma olei. Ilia da hou doaga: i amo ba: lalu, ilia ouligisu dunu afae afae da ilia galiamo bu ili ladi.
So then Moses brought forth all the staves, from before Yahweh, unto all the sons of Israel, —and they saw and took, each man his own staff.
10 Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i, “Elane ea galiamo amo Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili ganodini bu salima. Amo da Isala: ili odoga: su dunuma sisasu agoane dialoma: mu. Sisasu da ilia da egasu sia: hame hedofasea, bogomu.”
And Yahweh said unto Moses—Put back the rod of Aaron, before the testimony, to be kept as a sign unto such as are perverse, —that thou mayest bring to an end their murmurings against me that they die not.
11 Mousese da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele hamoi dagoi.
Thus did Moses, —as Yahweh commanded him, so, did he.
12 Isala: ili dunu da Mousesema amane sia: i, “Ninia da gugunufinisi dagoi.
Then spake the sons of Israel unto Moses saying: Lo! we have breathed our last—we are lost, we are, all, lost:
13 Nowa da Abula Diasu gadenene fawane masea, e da bogomu. Amaiba: le ninia huluane da bogogia: mu agoai galebe.”
whosoever draweth near—draweth near—unto the habitation of Yahweh, dieth, —are we ever to have made an end of breathing our last?
