Resansman 17
1 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo, e pran yon branch bwa pou chak kay fanmi zansèt yo: douz branch bwa ki sòti nan tout chèf yo selon kay fanmi zansèt yo. Nou va ekri non a chak sou branch pa yo.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and take rods from them, one for each father's house, from all their rulers according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods. Write thou every man's name upon his rod.
3 Ekri non a Aaron sou branch Levi a. Konsa, va gen yon sèl branch pou tèt a chak kay fanmi zansèt yo.
And thou shall write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi, for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.
4 Epi nou va depoze yo nan tant asanble a devan lach temwayaj la, kote Mwen rankontre nou an.
And thou shall lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
5 “Li va vin rive ke branch moun ke Mwen chwazi a, va boujonnen. Konsa, Mwen va fè sispann tout bougonnen fis Israël k ap fèt kont nou menm.”
And it shall come to pass, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud. And I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they murmur against you.
6 Konsa, Moïse te pale avèk fis Israël yo, e tout chèf yo te bay li yon branch pou chak nan yo; pou chak chèf, selon kay fanmi zansèt yo, douz branch avèk branch Aaron an pami branch yo.
And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel. And all their rulers gave him rods, for each ruler one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
7 Konsa, Moïse te depoze branch yo devan SENYÈ a nan tant asanble a.
And Moses laid up the rods before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony.
8 Alò, nan jou apre a, Moïse te antre nan tant lan; epi vwala, branch Aaron an pou fanmi zansèt Levi a te boujonnen. E li pa t sèlman boujonnen, men li te pwodwi flè, e osi li te pote zanmann mi.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
9 Konsa, Moïse te pote deyò tout branch ki te nan prezans a SENYÈ a vè tout fis Israël yo. Yo te gade, e chak mesye te pran pwòp branch pa l.
And Moses brought out all the rods from before Jehovah to all the sons of Israel. And they looked, and took every man his rod.
10 Men SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Remete branch Aaron a devan lach temwayaj la, pou kenbe kòm yon sign kont rebèl yo, pou ou kapab mete fen a plent kont Mwen yo, pou yo pa mouri.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a sign against the sons of rebellion, that thou may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die.
11 Konsa, Moïse te fè; jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande li a, konsa li te fè.
Thus Moses did. As Jehovah commanded him, so he did.
12 Alò, fis Israël yo te pale avèk Moïse e te di l: “Gade byen, n ap mouri, nou tout ap mouri!
And the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
13 Tout moun ki pwoche, ki vin pwoche toupre tabènak SENYÈ a, fòk li mouri. Èske nou tout va peri nèt?”
Every man who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of Jehovah, dies. Shall we all of us perish?
