Numbers 17

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

2 'Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods; thou shalt write every man's name upon his rod.

“Fahk nu sin mwet Israel elos in sot nu sum singoul lukwa sikal, kais soko sin mwet kol lun kais sie sruf. Simusla inen kais sie mwet ke sikal lal,

3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi, for there shall be one rod for the head of their fathers' houses.

na simusla inel Aaron ke sikal soko lun sruf Levi. Ac fah oasr sikal soko sin kais sie mwet kol lun sruf.

4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.

Usla sikal inge nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik, ac filiya mutun Tuptup in Wuleang, yen nga osun nu sum we.

5 And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall bud; and I will make to cease from Me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.'

Na sikal soko lun mwet se su nga sulela uh fah srunak. In ouiya se inge nga fah tulokinya torkaskas lun mwet Israel ma elos oru na lain kom.”

6 And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

Ke ma inge Moses el kaskas nu sin mwet Israel, ac kais sie mwet kol lalos sang sikal soko nu sel — sikal soko ke kais sie sruf, ma singoul lukwa nufon — ac sikal lal Aaron oan pac kac.

7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.

Na Moses el filiya sikal nukewa in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ye mutun Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD.

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 bloomed blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.

Len tok ah, ke Moses el utyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal el liyauk lah sikal lal Aaron, ma aolyen sruf lun Levi, srunak tari. Oasr ros motul, ros fareng ac fokla almond mwesr!

9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel; and they looked, and took every man his rod.

Moses el srukak sikal nukewa ac sang nu sin mwet Israel. Elos liye ma sikyak, ac kais sie mwet kol srukak sikal lal sifacna.

10 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept there, for a token against the rebellious children; that there may be made an end of their murmurings against Me, that they die not.'

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Folokonla sikal lal Aaron nu ye mutun Tuptup in Wuleang. In karinginyukyang tuh in mwe sensenkakin mwet Israel nukewa su tunyuna, lah elos ac misa elos fin tia tui ke torkaskas lalos.”

11 Thus did Moses; as the LORD commanded him, so did he.

Moses el oru oana LEUM GOD El sapkin.

12 And the children of Israel spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.

Mwet Israel elos fahk nu sel Moses, “Kut tuhlac na pwaye. Kut nukewa ac wanginla!

13 Every one that cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of the LORD, is to die; shall we wholly perish?'

Mwet se fin kalukyang nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal na el ac misa — kalem lah kut nukewa ac misa!”
