Ƙidaya 17
1 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
And the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Ka yi magana da Isra’ilawa, ka kuma karɓi sanduna goma sha biyu daga wurinsu, sanda guda daga kowane shugaban gidan kakanninsu. Ka rubuta sunan kowa a sandansa.
“Speak to the Israelites and take from them twelve staffs, one from the leader of each tribe. Write each man’s name on his staff,
3 A kan sandan Lawi kuwa ka rubuta sunan Haruna, gama dole a sami sanda ɗaya saboda shugaban gidan kakanninsu.
and write Aaron’s name on the staff of Levi, because there must be one staff for the head of each tribe.
4 Ka ajiye su a Tentin Sujada, a gaba akwatin Alkawari, inda zan sadu da kai.
Place the staffs in the Tent of Meeting in front of the Testimony, where I meet with you.
5 Sandan mutumin da na zaɓa zai yi toho, da haka zan raba kaina da gunagunin da Isra’ilawa suke yi.”
The staff belonging to the man I choose will sprout, and I will rid Myself of the constant grumbling of the Israelites against you.”
6 Saboda haka Musa ya yi magana da Isra’ilawa, sai shugabanninsu suka ba shi sanduna goma sha biyu, sanda ɗaya don shugaba, bisa ga gidajen kakanninsu, sandan Haruna kuma yana a cikinsu.
So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff—one for each of the leaders of their tribes, twelve staffs in all. And Aaron’s staff was among them.
7 Sai Musa ya ajiye sandunan a gaban Ubangiji a cikin Tentin Sujada.
Then Moses placed the staffs before the LORD in the Tent of the Testimony.
8 Kashegari da Musa ya shiga cikin Tentin Sujada sai ga sandan Haruna na gidan Lawiyawa ya yi toho, ya yi furanni, ya kuma yi’ya’yan almon.
The next day Moses entered the Tent of the Testimony and saw that Aaron’s staff, representing the house of Levi, had sprouted, put forth buds, blossomed, and produced almonds.
9 Sai Musa ya fitar wa dukan Isra’ilawa dukan sandunan da suke daga gaban Ubangiji. Suka duba, kowa kuma ya ɗauki sandansa.
Then Moses brought out all the staffs from the LORD’s presence to all the Israelites. They saw them, and each man took his own staff.
10 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Ka mayar da sandan Haruna a akwatin Alkawari, don a ajiye shi alama ga masu tawaye. Wannan zai kawo ƙarshen gunaguninsu a kaina, domin kada su mutu.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Put Aaron’s staff back in front of the Testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebellious, so that you may put an end to their grumbling against Me, lest they die.”
11 Musa kuwa ya aikata kamar dai yadda Ubangiji ya umarce shi.
So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him.
12 Sai Isra’ilawa suka ce wa Musa, “To, ai in haka ne, mun ƙare ke nan!
Then the Israelites declared to Moses, “Look, we are perishing! We are lost; we are all lost!
13 Idan an ce duk wanda ya zo kusa da tabanakul na Ubangiji zai mutu, ai rayuwarmu kamar mun mutu ke nan.”
Anyone who comes near the tabernacle of the LORD will die. Are we all going to perish?”
