Ƙidaya 17
1 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
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 sons of Israel, and take a rod from each of them, for a father’s house, from all their princes, for the house of their fathers—twelve rods; you write the name of each on his rod,
3 A kan sandan Lawi kuwa ka rubuta sunan Haruna, gama dole a sami sanda ɗaya saboda shugaban gidan kakanninsu.
and you write Aaron’s name on the tribe of Levi; for one rod [is] for the head of their fathers’ house.
4 Ka ajiye su a Tentin Sujada, a gaba akwatin Alkawari, inda zan sadu da kai.
And you have placed them in the Tent of Meeting before 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.”
And it has come to pass, the man’s rod on whom I fix flourishes, and I have caused the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against you, to cease from off Me.”
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.
And Moses speaks to the sons of Israel, and all their princes give to 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 Sai Musa ya ajiye sandunan a gaban Ubangiji a cikin Tentin Sujada.
and Moses places the rods before YHWH 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.
And it comes to pass, on the next day, that Moses goes into the Tent of the Testimony, and behold, the rod of Aaron has flourished for the house of Levi, and brings out a bud, and blossoms [with] a blossom, and produces almonds;
9 Sai Musa ya fitar wa dukan Isra’ilawa dukan sandunan da suke daga gaban Ubangiji. Suka duba, kowa kuma ya ɗauki sandansa.
and Moses brings out all the rods from before YHWH to all the sons of Israel, and they look, and each takes his rod.
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.”
And YHWH says to Moses, “Put back the rod of Aaron before the Testimony, for a charge, for a sign to the sons of rebellion, and you remove their murmurings from off Me, and they do not die”;
11 Musa kuwa ya aikata kamar dai yadda Ubangiji ya umarce shi.
and Moses does as YHWH has commanded him; so he has done.
12 Sai Isra’ilawa suka ce wa Musa, “To, ai in haka ne, mun ƙare ke nan!
And the sons of Israel speak to Moses, saying, “Behold, we have expired, we have perished, all of us have perished!
13 Idan an ce duk wanda ya zo kusa da tabanakul na Ubangiji zai mutu, ai rayuwarmu kamar mun mutu ke nan.”
Any who is at all drawing near to the Dwelling Place of YHWH dies; have we not been consumed—to expire?”
