Numbers 17
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
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,
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 write Aaron’s name on the tribe of Levi; for one rod [is] for the head of their fathers’ house.
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 have placed them in the Tent of Meeting before the Testimony, where I 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 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.”
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 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;
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 places the rods before YHWH in the Tent of the Testimony.
A waiho aku la o Mose i na kookoo imua o Iehova, maloko o ka halelewa o ke kanawai.
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;
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 brings out all the rods from before YHWH to all the sons of Israel, and they look, and each takes 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 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”;
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 does as YHWH has commanded him; so he has done.
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 sons of Israel speak to Moses, saying, “Behold, we have expired, we have perished, all of us have perished!
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 Any who is at all drawing near to the Dwelling Place of YHWH dies; have we not been consumed—to expire?”
O ka mea hele a kokoke aku i ka halelewa o Iehova, e make ia: e pau loa no anei makou i ka make?
