Resansman 17
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 -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.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them a staff, a staff for each father's house, of all their princes according to the houses of their fathers, twelve staves: thou shalt write each one's name upon his staff.
3 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'.
And Aaron's name shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi; for one staff shall be for [each] head of their fathers' houses.
4 W'a mete yo nan Tant Randevou a, devan Bwat Kontra a, kote mwen ban nou randevou a.
And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
5 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.
And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his staff shall bud forth; and I will make to cease from before me the murmurings of the children of Israel, that they murmur against you.
6 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.
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all their princes gave him a staff, one staff for each prince according to their fathers' houses, twelve staves, and the staff of Aaron was among their staves.
7 Moyiz pran tout branch bwa yo, li mete yo devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a, nan Tant Randevou a.
And Moses laid the staves before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony.
8 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.
And it came to pass, when on the morrow Moses went into the tent of the testimony, behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and ripened almonds.
9 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.
And Moses brought out all the staves from before Jehovah to all the children of Israel, and they looked and took each one his staff.
10 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!
And Jehovah said to Moses, Bring Aaron's staff again before the testimony, to be kept as a token for the sons of rebellion, that thou mayest put an end to their murmurings before me, that they may not die.
11 Moyiz fè jan Seyè a te ba li lòd fè a.
And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.
12 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.
And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Lo, we expire, we perish, we all perish.
13 Depi yon moun pwoche bò Tant Randevou a, li mouri. Si se konsa, nou tout ap mouri!
Every one that comes at all near to the tabernacle of Jehovah shall die: shall we then expire altogether?
