4 Mose 17

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

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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

But the name of Aaron shall be for the tribe of Levi, and one rod separately shall contain all their families.

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

And you shall place these in the tabernacle of the covenant before the testimony, where I will speak to 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.

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 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.

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

And when Moses had placed these before the Lord, in the tabernacle 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.

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

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 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.

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

And Moses did just as the Lord had instructed.

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

Then the sons of Israel said to Moses: “Behold, we have been consumed; we have been ruined.

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

Whoever approaches to the tabernacle of the Lord dies. Will we all be wiped away, even to total annihilation?”
