Numbers 17
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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,
“Israaʼelootatti dubbadhuutii hooggantoota gosa abbootii isaanii harkaa ulee tokko tokko, walumaa galatti uleewwan kudha lama fuudhi. Maqaa tokkoo tokkoo namaas ulee isaa irratti barreessi.
3 and you write Aaron’s name on the tribe of Levi; for one rod [is] for the head of their fathers’ house.
Sababii tokkoo tokkoo hoogganaa gosa abbootiitiif uleen tokko jiraachuu qabuuf maqaa Aroon ulee Lewwii irratti barreessi.
4 And you have placed them in the Tent of Meeting before the Testimony, where I meet with you.
Uleewwan kanneenis dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa fuula taabota kakuu seeraa dura iddoo ani itti isiniin wal argu sana kaaʼi.
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.”
Uleen nama ani filadhuu ni lata; anis guungummii Israaʼeloonni yeroo hunda isinitti guunguman of irraa nan kuta.”
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;
Museen Israaʼelootatti dubbate; hooggantoonni isaaniis uleewwan kudha lama jechuunis hooggantoota tokkoo tokkoo gosa abbootii isaaniitiif ulee tokko tokko isatti kennan; uleen Aroonis uleewwan sana keessa ture.
7 and Moses places the rods before YHWH in the Tent of the Testimony.
Museenis uleewwan sana dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa keessa fuula Waaqayyoo dura kaaʼe.
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;
Guyyaa itti aanutti Museen dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa seenee uleen Aroon kan gosa Lewwii iddoo buʼu sun isaa latu qofa utuu hin taʼin hudhee daraaree lawuzii naqate arge.
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.
Museen ulee sana hunda fuula Waaqayyoo duraa alatti gad baasee Israaʼeloota hundatti fide. Isaanis ilaalanii tokkoon tokkoon namaa ulee ofii isaa fudhate.
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”;
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ulee Aroon fuudhiitii akka inni finciltootaaf mallattoo taʼuuf fuula taabota kakuu seeraa dura deebisii kaaʼi. Kun akka isaan hin dhumneef natti guungumuu isaanii sana dhaabachiisa.”
11 and Moses does as YHWH has commanded him; so he has done.
Museenis akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana godhe.
12 And the sons of Israel speak to Moses, saying, “Behold, we have expired, we have perished, all of us have perished!
Israaʼeloonni Museedhaan akkana jedhan; “Nu ni duuna! Nu badneerra; nu hundinuu badneerra!
13 Any who is at all drawing near to the Dwelling Place of YHWH dies; have we not been consumed—to expire?”
Namni dunkaana qulqulluu Waaqayyootti dhiʼaatu kam iyyuu ni duʼa. Nu amma duʼuuf jirraa?”
