Numbers 17
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod by their kindreds, of all the princes of the tribes, twelve rods, and write the name of every man upon his rod.
E olelo aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, a e lawe oe i ke kookoo o kela kanaka a i ke kookoo o keia kanaka, no ka ohana o ko lakou poe kupuna, o na luna o lakou a pau, no ka ohana o ko lakou poe kupuna, i na kookoo he umikumamalua; a e kakau oe i ka inoa o kela kanaka keia kanaka maluna o kona kookoo iho.
3 And the name of Aaron shall be for the tribe of Levi, and one rod shall contain all their families:
E kakau hoi oe i ka inoa o Aarona maluna o ke kookoo no ka Levi: hookahi kookoo, no ka hma ohana o ko lakou mau kupuna ia.
4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the covenant before the testimony, where I will speak to thee.
A e waiho oe ia mau mea ma ka halelewa o ke anaina, imua o ke kanawai, kahi a'u e halawai ai me olua.
5 Whomsoever of these I shall choose, his rod shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, wherewith they murmur against you.
A o ke kookoo o ke kanaka e wae iho ai, e pua no ia; a e hoopaa no wau mai o'u aku nei i na ohnmu ana a ka poe mamo a Iseraela e ohumn aku nei ia olua.
6 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel: and all the princes gave him rods one for every tribe: and there were twelve rods besides the rod of Aaron.
Olelo aku la o Mose i na mamo a Iseraela, a haawi mai la kela luna keia luna i kekahi kookoo ia ia, hookahi luna hookahi kookoo no na ohana o ko lakou poe kupuna, he umikumamalua mau kookoo: a iwaena o ko lakou mau kookoo, ke kookoo o Aarona.
7 And when Moses had laid them up before the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony:
A waiho aku la o Mose i na kookoo imua o Iehova, maloko o ka halelewa o ke kanawai.
8 He returned on the following day, and found that the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi, was budded: and that the buds swelling it had bloomed blossoms, which spreading the leaves, were formed into almonds.
A ia la ae, komo aku la o Mose iloko o ka halelewa o ke kanawai; aia hoi, ua opuu mai ke kookoo o Aarona no ka ohana a Levi, a ua mohala ae na opuu, ua poa i na pua, a na hua mai i na hua alemona.
9 Moses therefore brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel: and they saw, and every one received their rods.
Lawe mai la o Mose i na kookoo a pau iwaho, mai ke alo o Iehova mai, a imua o na mamo a pau a Iseraela: nana ae la lakou, a lawe aku la kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona kookoo iho.
10 And the Lord said to Moses: Carry back the rod of Aaron into the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be kept there for a token of the rebellious children of Israel, and that their complaints may cease from me lest they die.
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E lawe hou mai i ke kookoo o Aarona imua o ke kanawai, e malamaia'i i hoailona no ka poe kipi; a e lawe lilo loa aku oe i ko lakou ohumu ana mai o'u aku nei, i make ole ai lakou.
11 And Moses did as the Lord had commanded.
A hana aku la o Mose; e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia, peia ia i hana'i.
12 And the children of Israel said to Moses: Behold we are consumed, we all perish.
Olelo mai la na mamo a Iseraela ia Mose, i mai la, Aia hoi, ua make makou, ua pau makou, ua pau makou a pau.
13 Whosoever approacheth to the tabernacle of the Lord, he dieth. Are we all to a man to be utterly destroyed?
O ka mea hele a kokoke aku i ka halelewa o Iehova, e make ia: e pau loa no anei makou i ka make?
