Numbers 17
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and take rods from them, one for each father's house, from all their rulers according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods. Write thou every man's name upon his rod.
“Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo akupatse ndodo khumi ndi ziwiri, imodzi kuchokera kwa mtsogoleri wa fuko lililonse. Ulembe dzina la munthu aliyense pa ndodo yake.
3 And thou shall write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi, for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.
Pa ndodo ya Levi ulembepo dzina la Aaroni, chifukwa pafunika ndodo imodzi ya mtsogoleri pa fuko lililonse.
4 And thou shall lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
Uyike ndodozo mu tenti ya msonkhano, kutsogolo kwa Bokosi la Umboni, kumene ndimakumana nawe.
5 And it shall come to pass, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud. And I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they murmur against you.
Ndodo ya munthu amene ndamusankha idzachita maluwa potero ndidzaletsa madandawulo osatha a Aisraeli otsutsana nawe.”
6 And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel. And all their rulers gave him rods, for each ruler one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
Choncho Mose anayankhula ndi Aisraeli, ndipo atsogoleri awo anapereka ndodo khumi ndi ziwiri, imodzi kuchokera kwa mtsogoleri wa fuko lililonse ndipo ndodo ya Aaroni inali pakati pa ndodo zawozo.
7 And Moses laid up the rods before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony.
Mose anayika ndodozo pamaso pa Yehova mu tenti ya msonkhano.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
Pa tsiku lotsatira Mose analowa mu tenti ya msonkhanoyo ndipo anaona kuti ndodo ya Aaroni, yomwe inkayimira fuko la Levi, sinangophuka masamba chabe, komanso inachita maluwa nʼkubala zipatso za alimondi.
9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before Jehovah to all the sons of Israel. And they looked, and took every man his rod.
Choncho Mose anatulutsa ndodo zonse pamaso pa Yehova napita nazo kwa Aisraeli onse. Iwowo anaziona ndipo munthu aliyense anatenga ndodo yake.
10 And Jehovah said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a sign against the sons of rebellion, that thou may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die.
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Bwezera ndodo ya Aaroni patsogolo pa Bokosi la Umboni, kuti chikhale chizindikiro cha kuwukira kwawo. Zimenezi zidzathetsa kudandaula kwawo kotsutsana nane, kuopa kuti angafe.”
11 Thus Moses did. As Jehovah commanded him, so he did.
Mose anachita monga Yehova anamulamulira.
12 And the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
Aisraeli anati kwa Mose, “Tikufa! Tatayika, tonse tatayika!
13 Every man who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of Jehovah, dies. Shall we all of us perish?
Aliyense woyandikira chihema adzafa. Kodi ndiye kuti tonse tikufa?”
