Numbers 17
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
2 "Speak to 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: write every man's name on his rod.
“Wuo gi jo-Israel kendo ichok odunga apar gariyo koa kuomgi, achiel ka achiel koa kuom jatelo moro ka moro mar dhoutgi. Ndik nying ngʼato ka ngʼato kuom odungane.
3 You shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.
E odunga mar Lawi ndike nying Harun, nimar nyaka bedi odunga achiel mar jatelo mar dhoot ka dhoot.
4 You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
Ketgi e Hemb Romo e nyim Sandug Rapar, kama aromoe kodi.
5 It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you."
Odunga mar ngʼat mayiero biro loth, kendo abiro tieko chuth ngʼur ma jo-Israel ngʼurnigo maonge giko.”
6 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their leaders gave him rods, one for each leader, according to their ancestral houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
Omiyo Musa nowuoyo gi jo-Israel, kendo jotendgi nomiye odunga apar gariyo, ka moro ka moro en mar dhoutgi, kendo odunga mar Harun ne achiel kuomgi.
7 Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.
Musa noketo odungago e nyim Jehova Nyasaye e Hema e nyim Sandug Rapar.
8 It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and look, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
Kinyne Musa nodonjo ei Hemb Rapar kendo noneno odunga mar Harun, mane ochungʼ e lo Lawi, ne pok ochako loth kende to thuokene bende nosechako dongo, ka gingʼich mamoro wangʼ kendo gigolo olembe mag oyungu.
9 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.
Eka Musa nogolo odunga duto e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mi okelone jo-Israel duto. Ne gingʼiyogi, kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato nokawo odungane owuon.
10 The LORD said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die."
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Dwok odunga mar Harun e nyim Sandug Rapar, mondo kane kaka ranyisi ne joma ongʼanyo. Mano biro tieko chuth kitgi mar ngʼur koda, mondo omi kik githo.”
11 Moses did so. As the LORD commanded him, so he did.
Musa notimo mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nonyise.
12 The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, "Look, we perish. We are undone. We are all undone.
Jo-Israel nowacho ne Musa niya, “Wabiro tho! Waserwenyo, kendo wan duto waselal!
13 Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD, dies. Will we all perish?"
Ngʼato angʼata mosudo machiegni gi hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye biro tho. Dibed ni wan duto wabiro tho?”
