Numero 17
1 Nagsao ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Agsaoka kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Mangalaka kadagiti sarukod manipud kadakuada, maysa iti tunggal tribu dagiti kapuonan. Mangalaka iti sangapulo ket dua a sarukod, maysa iti tunggal mangidadaulo iti tunggal tribu. Isuratmo ti nagan ti tunggal tao iti sarukodna.
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and receive from each of them a rod by their kinships, from all the leaders of the tribes, twelve rods, and write the name of each one on his rod.
3 Masapul nga isuratmo ti nagan ni Aaron iti sarukod ni Levi. Masapul nga adda maysa a sarukod iti tunggal mangidadaulo manipud iti tribu ti kapuonanna.
But the name of Aaron shall be for the tribe of Levi, and one rod separately shall contain all their families.
4 Masapul nga ikabilmo dagiti sarukod iti tabernakulo iti sangoanan ti pammaneknek ti tulag, a pakisarakak kenka.
And you shall place these in the tabernacle of the covenant before the testimony, where I will speak to you.
5 Agsaringitto ti sarukod ti mapilik a tao. Pagsardengekto dagiti reklamo dagiti tattao ti Israel nga ibagbagada a maibusor kadakayo.”
Whomever of these I will choose, his rod will germinate, and so shall I restrain the complaints of the sons of Israel before me, by which they murmur against you.”
6 Nagsao ni Moises kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Amin dagiti mangidadaulo ti tribu ket nangted kadagiti sarukod kenkuana, maysa a sarukod manipud iti tunggal mangidadaulo, a napili manipud iti tunggal tribu ti kapuonan, sangapulo ket dua amin a sarukod. Maysa kadagitoy ti sarukod ni Aaron.
And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel. And all the leaders gave him rods, one for each tribe. And there were twelve rods, aside from the rod of Aaron.
7 Ket inkabil ni Moises dagiti sarukod iti sangoanan ni Yahweh iti tolda ti pammaneknek ti tulag.
And when Moses had placed these before the Lord, in the tabernacle of the testimony,
8 Iti simmaruno nga aldaw, napan ni Moises iti tolda ti pammaneknek iti tulag ket pagammoan, nagsaringit ti sarukod ni Aaron iti tribu ni Levi. Dimmakkel dagiti saringitna, nagsabong ken nagbunga iti naluom nga almendras!
returning on the following day, he found that the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi, had germinated, and that the swelling buds had opened into flowers, which, spreading their petals, were formed into those of an almond tree.
9 Innala ni Moises dagiti sarukod manipud iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ket imparangna kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Nasarakan ti tunggal maysa ti sarukodna ket innalana daytoy.
Therefore, Moses brought out all the rods, from the sight of the Lord, to all the sons of Israel. And they saw, and each one received their rods.
10 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Ikabilmo ti sarukod ni Aaron iti sangoanan ti pammaneknek iti tulag. Maidulin daytoy a kas pagilasinan ti basol a maibusor kadagiti tattao a nagsukir tapno agpatinggan dagiti panagsasaoda iti maibusor kaniak, ta no saan mataydanto.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Carry back the rod of Aaron into the tabernacle of the testimony, so that it may be kept there as a sign of the rebellion of the sons of Israel, and so that their complaints may be quieted before me, lest they die.”
11 Inaramid ni Moises ti imbilin ni Yahweh kenkuana.
And Moses did just as the Lord had instructed.
12 Nagsao dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Moises ket kinunada, “Mataykaminto ditoy. Mapukawkaminto amin!
Then the sons of Israel said to Moses: “Behold, we have been consumed; we have been ruined.
13 Amin nga umay, matayto amin nga umasideg iti tabernakulo ni Yahweh. Rumbeng kadi a mapukawtayo amin?
Whoever approaches to the tabernacle of the Lord dies. Will we all be wiped away, even to total annihilation?”
