Ƙidaya 17
1 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
Then spake Yahweh unto 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 unto the sons of Israel and take of them one staff each for an ancestral house of all their princes, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves, —each man’s name, shalt thou write upon his staff;
3 A kan sandan Lawi kuwa ka rubuta sunan Haruna, gama dole a sami sanda ɗaya saboda shugaban gidan kakanninsu.
and, Aaron’s name, shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi, —for, one staff, shall there be for the head of their ancestral house.
4 Ka ajiye su a Tentin Sujada, a gaba akwatin Alkawari, inda zan sadu da kai.
Then shalt thou lay them up 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.”
So shall it come to pass, that, the man whom I shall choose, his staff, shall bud, —so will I cause to cease from against me the murmurings of the sons of Israel, wherewith they, are murmuring 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.
And Moses spake unto the sons of Israel and every one of their princes gave unto him, a staff apiece, for each prince, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves, —and the staff of Aaron, was in the midst of their staves.
7 Sai Musa ya ajiye sandunan a gaban Ubangiji a cikin Tentin Sujada.
So Moses laid up the staves before Yahweh, —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 came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses entered into the tent of the testimony; and lo! the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi, had budded, —yea it had brought forth buds and bloomed blossoms, and borne ripe almonds.
9 Sai Musa ya fitar wa dukan Isra’ilawa dukan sandunan da suke daga gaban Ubangiji. Suka duba, kowa kuma ya ɗauki sandansa.
So then Moses brought forth all the staves, from before Yahweh, unto all the sons of Israel, —and they saw and took, each man 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.”
And Yahweh said unto Moses—Put back the rod of Aaron, before the testimony, to be kept as a sign unto such as are perverse, —that thou mayest bring to an end their murmurings against me that they die not.
11 Musa kuwa ya aikata kamar dai yadda Ubangiji ya umarce shi.
Thus did Moses, —as Yahweh commanded him, so, did he.
12 Sai Isra’ilawa suka ce wa Musa, “To, ai in haka ne, mun ƙare ke nan!
Then spake the sons of Israel unto Moses saying: Lo! we have breathed our last—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.”
whosoever draweth near—draweth near—unto the habitation of Yahweh, dieth, —are we ever to have made an end of breathing our last?
