Resansman 17
1 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 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,
3 Ekri non a Aaron sou branch Levi a. Konsa, va gen yon sèl branch pou tèt a chak kay fanmi zansèt yo.
and Aaron's name thou dost write on the tribe of Levi; for one rod [is] for the head of their fathers' house:
4 Epi nou va depoze yo nan tant asanble a devan lach temwayaj la, kote Mwen rankontre nou an.
and thou hast placed them 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 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.'
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 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;
7 Konsa, Moïse te depoze branch yo devan SENYÈ a nan tant asanble a.
and Moses placeth 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 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;
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 bringeth out all the rods from before Jehovah, unto all the sons of Israel, and they look, and take each 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 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;'
11 Konsa, Moïse te fè; jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande li a, konsa li te fè.
and Moses doth as Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.
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 speak unto Moses, saying, 'Lo, we have expired; we have perished; we have all of us perished;
13 Tout moun ki pwoche, ki vin pwoche toupre tabènak SENYÈ a, fòk li mouri. Èske nou tout va peri nèt?”
any who is at all drawing near unto the tabernacle of Jehovah dieth; have we not been consumed — to expire?'
