Numbers 17
1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
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.
Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka analao tehina iray avy araka ny fianakaviany izy, ka ny lohan’ ny fireneny rehetra araka ny fianakaviany avy no hanalana azy, dia tehina roa ambin’ ny folo; ary samy soraty eo amin’ ny tehiny avy ny anaran’ izy rehetra.
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.
Fa ny anaran’ i Arona no hosoratanao amin’ ny tehin’ i Levy; fa tehina iray avy no ho an’ ny lohan’ ny fianakaviany.
4 You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
Dia hataonao ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana ireo, dia eo anoloan’ ny Vavolombelona, izay ihaonako aminareo.
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."
Ary ny tehin’ ny lehilahy izay hofidiko dia hitsimoka; ka dia hampanginiko ny fimonomononan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely amiko, izay imonomononany aminareo.
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.
Ary Mosesy dia niteny tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka ny lohan’ ny firenena dia samy nanatitra tehina iray avy teo aminy araka ny fianakaviany, dia tehina roa ambin’ ny folo; ary ny tehin’ i Arona dia teo afovoan’ ireo tehiny ireo.
7 Moses laid up the rods before YHWH in the tent of the testimony.
Dia napetrak’ i Mosesy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, dia tao amin’ ny trano lain’ ny Vavolombelona ireo tehina ireo.
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.
Ary nony ampitso dia niditra tao amin’ ny trano-lain’ ny Vavolombelona Mosesy, ary indro fa nitsimoka ny tehin’ i Arona, izay ho an’ ny taranak’ i Levy, dia nanaroka sy namony ka namoa amygdala.
9 Moses brought out all the rods from before YHWH to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
Dia nentin’ i Mosesy nivoaka hiala eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ny tehina rehetra, ho eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra; dia nijery izy, ka samy nandray ny tehiny avy.
10 YHWH 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."
Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Avereno ny tehin’ i Arona ho eo anoloan’ ny Vavolombelona, hotehirizina ho famantarana ho an’ ny mpiodina, ka dia hatsahatrao hiala amiko ny fimonomononany, mba tsy ho faty izy.
11 Moses did so. As YHWH commanded him, so he did.
Dia nataon’ i Mosesy izany; araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah azy no nataony.
12 The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, "Look, we perish. We are undone. We are all undone.
Dia niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Indro, maty izahay, ringana izahay, eny, ringana avokoa izahay rehetra.
13 Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of YHWH, dies. Will we all perish?"
Ho faty izay rehetra manakaiky, dia izay manakaiky ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah; ho lany maty va izahay?
