Resansman 17
1 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And the LORD 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 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.
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 shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod [shall be] for the head of the house of their fathers.
4 Epi nou va depoze yo nan tant asanble a devan lach temwayaj la, kote Mwen rankontre nou an.
And thou shalt lay them in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will 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 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.
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 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.
7 Konsa, Moïse te depoze branch yo devan SENYÈ a nan tant asanble a.
And Moses laid the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
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, that on the morrow 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.
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 the LORD to all the children 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 the LORD said to Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again, before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
11 Konsa, Moïse te fè; jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande li a, konsa li te fè.
And Moses did [so]: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
12 Alò, fis Israël yo te pale avèk Moïse e te di l: “Gade byen, n ap mouri, nou tout ap mouri!
And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
13 Tout moun ki pwoche, ki vin pwoche toupre tabènak SENYÈ a, fòk li mouri. Èske nou tout va peri nèt?”
Whoever approacheth the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
