Numbers 17
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel and take of them one staff each for an ancestral house of all their princes, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves, —each man’s name, shalt thou write upon his staff;
-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, Aaron’s name, shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi, —for, one staff, shall there be for the head of their ancestral 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 Then shalt thou lay them up 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 So shall it come to pass, that, the man whom I shall choose, his staff, shall bud, —so will I cause to cease from against me the murmurings of the sons of Israel, wherewith they, are murmuring against you.
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 spake unto the sons of Israel and every one of their princes gave unto him, a staff apiece, for each prince, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves, —and the staff of Aaron, was in the midst of their staves.
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 So Moses laid up the staves before Yahweh, —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 came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses entered into the tent of the testimony; and lo! the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi, had budded, —yea it had brought forth buds and bloomed blossoms, and borne ripe 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 So then Moses brought forth all the staves, from before Yahweh, unto all the sons of Israel, —and they saw and took, each man his own staff.
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 Yahweh said unto Moses—Put back the rod of Aaron, before the testimony, to be kept as a sign unto such as are perverse, —that thou mayest bring to an end their murmurings against me that they die not.
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 Thus did Moses, —as Yahweh commanded him, so, did he.
Moyiz fè jan Seyè a te ba li lòd fè a.
12 Then spake the sons of Israel unto Moses saying: Lo! we have breathed our last—we are lost, we are, all, lost:
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 whosoever draweth near—draweth near—unto the habitation of Yahweh, dieth, —are we ever to have made an end of breathing our last?
Depi yon moun pwoche bò Tant Randevou a, li mouri. Si se konsa, nou tout ap mouri!
