Numbers 17
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
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.
Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka analao tehina iray avy araka ny fianakaviany izy, ka ny lohan’ ny fireneny rehetra araka ny fianakaviany avy no hanalana azy, dia tehina roa ambin’ ny folo; ary samy soraty eo amin’ ny tehiny avy ny anaran’ izy rehetra.
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.
Fa ny anaran’ i Arona no hosoratanao amin’ ny tehin’ i Levy; fa tehina iray avy no ho an’ ny lohan’ ny fianakaviany.
4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
Dia hataonao ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana ireo, dia eo anoloan’ ny Vavolombelona, izay ihaonako aminareo.
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.'
Ary ny tehin’ ny lehilahy izay hofidiko dia hitsimoka; ka dia hampanginiko ny fimonomononan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely amiko, izay imonomononany aminareo.
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.
Ary Mosesy dia niteny tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka ny lohan’ ny firenena dia samy nanatitra tehina iray avy teo aminy araka ny fianakaviany, dia tehina roa ambin’ ny folo; ary ny tehin’ i Arona dia teo afovoan’ ireo tehiny ireo.
7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.
Dia napetrak’ i Mosesy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, dia tao amin’ ny trano lain’ ny Vavolombelona ireo tehina ireo.
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.
Ary nony ampitso dia niditra tao amin’ ny trano-lain’ ny Vavolombelona Mosesy, ary indro fa nitsimoka ny tehin’ i Arona, izay ho an’ ny taranak’ i Levy, dia nanaroka sy namony ka namoa amygdala.
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.
Dia nentin’ i Mosesy nivoaka hiala eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ny tehina rehetra, ho eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra; dia nijery izy, ka samy nandray ny tehiny avy.
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.'
Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Avereno ny tehin’ i Arona ho eo anoloan’ ny Vavolombelona, hotehirizina ho famantarana ho an’ ny mpiodina, ka dia hatsahatrao hiala amiko ny fimonomononany, mba tsy ho faty izy.
11 Thus did Moses; as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
Dia nataon’ i Mosesy izany; araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah azy no nataony.
12 And the children of Israel spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
Dia niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Indro, maty izahay, ringana izahay, eny, ringana avokoa izahay rehetra.
13 Every one that cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of the LORD, is to die; shall we wholly perish?'
Ho faty izay rehetra manakaiky, dia izay manakaiky ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah; ho lany maty va izahay?
