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 according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write you every man’s name on 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 you shall write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
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 you shall lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
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 And it shall come to pass, that the man’s rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby 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 every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
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 Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
A waiho aku la o Mose i na kookoo imua o Iehova, maloko o ka halelewa o ke kanawai.
8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded 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 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
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, Bring Aaron’s rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and you shall quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
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 so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
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 spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, 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 Whoever comes any thing near to the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
O ka mea hele a kokoke aku i ka halelewa o Iehova, e make ia: e pau loa no anei makou i ka make?
