4 Mose 17

1 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena anage huno asami'ne,

And the LORD said to Moses,

2 Israeli vahera zamasamige'za mago'mago naga nofimofonte kva vahe'mokizmi azompa zamente zamente 12fu'a eri'za eme kaminagenka, zamagi'a krentetere ana azomparera nehunka,

“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 Livae naga'mokizmi azomparera Aroni agi krento. Na'ankure mago'mago naga'nofitema ugota hu'naza vahe'mokizmi azomparera zamagia krentegahane.

and write Aaron’s name on the staff of Levi, because there must be one staff for the head of each tribe.

4 Hagi mika ana azomparamina erinka atrumahu seli mono nompima huhagerafi huvempage vogisimofo avuga keagama nehute eme anto.

Place the staffs in the Tent of Meeting in front of the Testimony, where I meet with you.

5 Hagi Nagrama huhamprintesugeno pristi eri'zama erisia ne'mofo azomparera agata hagegahie. Hagi ana zama fore'ma haniretira mago'ene Israeli vahe'mo'zama ke hakare'ma hugantesazana kezmia ontahigahue.

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 Anage higeno Mosese'a miko Israeli vahera 2fu'a naga nofi'mokizmia zamasimige'za mago'mago naga nofimo'za vugotama huzmante'nemofo azompa eme nemiza, Aroni azompanena anampi eri'za eme ami'naze.

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 Mosese'a mika ana azomparamina erino atruhu seli mono nompi Ra Anumzamofo avugama ome ante'ne.

Then Moses placed the staffs before the LORD in the Tent of the Testimony.

8 Hagi anante knazupa Mosese'a atruma hu seli mono nompima vuno ome keana, Livae nagapinti ne' Aroni azumparera agata hageno amosare'a ahenteno, almoni zafa raga rente'no uzate'ne.

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 Mosese'a Ra Anumzamofo avugatira ana azomparamina erino atiramino Israeli vahete vige'za, anampinti ke'za zamagra'a azompare eritere hu'naze.

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 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena anage huno asmi'ne, Aroni azompa ete erinka huhagerafi huvempage vogisimofo avuga ome ante'negeno, ana azompamo'a avame'za me'nena Nagri'ma ke hakarema hunenantaza zana vagarenke'za, ofri maniho.

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 Higeno Mosese'a Ra Anumzamo'ma huoma huno asmi'nea zana amage anteno hu'ne.

So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him.

12 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Mosesena asami'za, mika vahe'mota frita fanane hu vagaregahune!

Then the Israelites declared to Moses, “Look, we are perishing! We are lost; we are all lost!

13 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo seli nomofo tava'onte'ma vanuta, tagra mika vahe'mota frita haviza hugahune.

Anyone who comes near the tabernacle of the LORD will die. Are we all going to perish?”
