Numbers 17
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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;
“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, Aaron’s name, shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi, —for, one staff, shall there be for the head of their ancestral house.
Sababii tokkoo tokkoo hoogganaa gosa abbootiitiif uleen tokko jiraachuu qabuuf maqaa Aroon ulee Lewwii irratti barreessi.
4 Then shalt thou lay them up 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 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.
Uleen nama ani filadhuu ni lata; anis guungummii Israaʼeloonni yeroo hunda isinitti guunguman of irraa nan kuta.”
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.
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 So Moses laid up the staves before Yahweh, —in the tent of the testimony.
Museenis uleewwan sana dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa keessa fuula Waaqayyoo dura kaaʼe.
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.
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 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.
Museen ulee sana hunda fuula Waaqayyoo duraa alatti gad baasee Israaʼeloota hundatti fide. Isaanis ilaalanii tokkoon tokkoon namaa ulee ofii isaa fudhate.
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.
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 Thus did Moses, —as Yahweh commanded him, so, did he.
Museenis akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana godhe.
12 Then spake the sons of Israel unto Moses saying: Lo! we have breathed our last—we are lost, we are, all, lost:
Israaʼeloonni Museedhaan akkana jedhan; “Nu ni duuna! Nu badneerra; nu hundinuu badneerra!
13 whosoever draweth near—draweth near—unto the habitation of Yahweh, dieth, —are we ever to have made an end of breathing our last?
Namni dunkaana qulqulluu Waaqayyootti dhiʼaatu kam iyyuu ni duʼa. Nu amma duʼuuf jirraa?”
