Numbers 17
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Olúwa sì sọ fún Mose pé,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man’s name upon his rod.
“Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kí o sì gba ọ̀pá méjìlá lọ́wọ́ wọn, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan lọ́wọ́ olórí ìdílé ẹ̀yà ìran wọn, kọ orúkọ ènìyàn kọ̀ọ̀kan sí ara ọ̀pá rẹ̀.
3 And thou shalt write Aaron’s name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
Lórí ọ̀pá Lefi kọ orúkọ Aaroni, nítorí ọ̀pá kọ̀ọ̀kan gbọdọ̀ wà fún olórí ìdílé kọ̀ọ̀kan tí yóò jẹ́ orí fún ẹ̀yà ìran kọ̀ọ̀kan.
4 And thou shalt lay them in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
Kó wọn sí àgọ́ ìpàdé níwájú ẹ̀rí níbi tí èmi ti ń pàdé yín.
5 And it shall come to pass, that the man’s rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, by which they murmur against you.
Ọ̀pá tí ó bá yí jẹ́ ti ẹni tí èmi bá yàn yóò rúwé, èmi yóò sì dá kíkùn gbogbo ìgbà àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sí yín dúró.”
6 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
Nígbà náà Mose bá àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ̀rọ̀, àwọn olórí wọn sì fún un ní ọ̀pá méjìlá, ọ̀pá kan fún olórí kọ̀ọ̀kan ẹ̀yà ìran wọn, ọ̀pá Aaroni sì wà lára àwọn ọ̀pá náà.
7 And Moses laid the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
Mose sì fi ọ̀pá wọ̀nyí lélẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa nínú àgọ́ ẹ̀rí.
8 And it came to pass, that on the next day Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
Ó sì ṣe ní ọjọ́ kejì Mose wọ inú àgọ́ ẹ̀rí lọ, ó sì rí ọ̀pá Aaroni, tí ó dúró fún ẹ̀yà Lefi, kì í ṣe wí pé ó hù nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n ó rúwé, ó yọ ìtànná, ó sì so èso almondi.
9 And 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.
Nígbà náà ni Mose kó gbogbo àwọn ọ̀pá jáde láti iwájú Olúwa wá fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Wọ́n wò wọ́n, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan sì mú ọ̀pá tirẹ̀.
10 And the LORD said to Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a sign against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Mú ọ̀pá Aaroni padà wá síwájú ẹ̀rí, láti fi pamọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àmì fún àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀. Èyí ó sì mú òpin bá kíkùn sínú wọn sí mi, kí wọn kí ó má ba à kú.”
11 And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
Mose sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti páláṣẹ fún un.
12 And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ fún Mose pé, “Àwa yóò kú! A ti sọnù, gbogbo wa ti sọnù!
13 Whoever approacheth the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá súnmọ́ tabanaku Olúwa yóò kú. Ṣé gbogbo wa ni yóò kú?”
