Numbers 17
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and take a rod from each of them, for a father’s house, from all their princes, for the house of their fathers—twelve rods; you write the name of each on his rod,
-Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Di yo pou yo pote douz branch bwa, yon branch bwa pou chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la. Wi, y'a pran yon branch bwa nan men chèf chak branch fanmi. Epi w'a ekri non chak chèf sou branch bwa pa yo.
3 and you write Aaron’s name on the tribe of Levi; for one rod [is] for the head of their fathers’ house.
W'a ekri non Arawon sou branch bwa Levi a. Va gen yon sèl branch bwa pou chak moun ki chèf nan branch fanmi pa l'.
4 And you have placed them in the Tent of Meeting before the Testimony, where I meet with you.
W'a mete yo nan Tant Randevou a, devan Bwat Kontra a, kote mwen ban nou randevou a.
5 And it has come to pass, the man’s rod on whom I fix flourishes, and I have caused the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against you, to cease from off Me.”
Branch bwa ki pote non moun mwen chwazi a, se li menm ki va fè flè. Se konsa m'a fè moun Izrayèl yo sispann bougonnen sou do ou.
6 And Moses speaks to the sons of Israel, and all their princes give to him one rod for a prince, one rod for a prince, for their fathers’ house—twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron [is] in the midst of their rods;
Moyiz pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Epi chak chèf pote ba li yon branch bwa, yonn pou chak branch fanmi. Sa te fè douz branch bwa antou. Branch bwa Arawon an te nan mitan tout lòt yo.
7 and Moses places the rods before YHWH in the Tent of the Testimony.
Moyiz pran tout branch bwa yo, li mete yo devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a, nan Tant Randevou a.
8 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that Moses goes into the Tent of the Testimony, and behold, the rod of Aaron has flourished for the house of Levi, and brings out a bud, and blossoms [with] a blossom, and produces almonds;
Nan denmen, lè Moyiz antre nan Tant Randevou a, li wè branch bwa Arawon an, ki pou branch fanmi Levi a, te fè flè. Li te gen tan fè bouton, flè yo te louvri, zanmann yo te mi.
9 and Moses brings out all the rods from before YHWH to all the sons of Israel, and they look, and each takes his rod.
Moyiz pran tout branch bwa yo ki te devan lotèl Seyè a, li pote yo bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo wè sa ki rive, epi chak chèf pran branch bwa ki te pou yo a.
10 And YHWH says to Moses, “Put back the rod of Aaron before the Testimony, for a charge, for a sign to the sons of rebellion, and you remove their murmurings from off Me, and they do not die”;
Seyè a di Moyiz: -Remete branch bwa Arawon an devan Bwat Kontra a. Se pou yo konsève l' pou sa sèvi yon siy pou moun tèt di sa yo, pou yo ka sispann bougonnen. Si yo pa sispann bougonnen, y'ap mouri!
11 and Moses does as YHWH has commanded him; so he has done.
Moyiz fè jan Seyè a te ba li lòd fè a.
12 And the sons of Israel speak to Moses, saying, “Behold, we have expired, we have perished, all of us have perished!
Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo pale ak Moyiz, yo di l' konsa: -Gade jan n'ap mouri, n'ap deperi, nou tout ap fini.
13 Any who is at all drawing near to the Dwelling Place of YHWH dies; have we not been consumed—to expire?”
Depi yon moun pwoche bò Tant Randevou a, li mouri. Si se konsa, nou tout ap mouri!
