Numbers 17
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and take from them each a rod, for a father's house, from all their princes, for the house of their fathers, twelve rods; the name of each thou dost write on his rod,
-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 thou dost write on the tribe of Levi; for one rod [is] for the head of their fathers' 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 and thou hast placed them 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 'And it hath come to pass, the man's rod on whom I fix doth flourish, and I have caused to cease from off me the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which 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 speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and all their princes give unto him one rod for a prince, one rod for a prince, for their fathers' house, twelve rods, and the rod of Aaron [is] in the midst of their rods;
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 and Moses placeth the rods before Jehovah, 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 cometh to pass, on the morrow, that Moses goeth in unto the tent of the testimony, and lo, the rod of Aaron hath flourished for the house of Levi, and is bringing out flourishing, and doth blossom blossoms, and doth produce 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 and Moses bringeth out all the rods from before Jehovah, unto all the sons of Israel, and they look, and take each his rod.
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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Put back the rod of Aaron, before the testimony, for a charge, for a sign to the sons of rebellion, and thou dost remove their murmurings from off me, and they do not die;'
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 and Moses doth as Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.
Moyiz fè jan Seyè a te ba li lòd fè a.
12 And the sons of Israel speak unto Moses, saying, 'Lo, we have expired; we have perished; we have all of us perished;
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 any who is at all drawing near unto the tabernacle of Jehovah dieth; have we not been consumed — to expire?'
Depi yon moun pwoche bò Tant Randevou a, li mouri. Si se konsa, nou tout ap mouri!
