Oekyuk 17

1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Fahk nu sin mwet Israel elos in sot nu sum singoul lukwa sikal, kais soko sin mwet kol lun kais sie sruf. Simusla inen kais sie mwet ke sikal lal,

"Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write every man's name on his rod.

3 na simusla inel Aaron ke sikal soko lun sruf Levi. Ac fah oasr sikal soko sin kais sie mwet kol lun sruf.

You shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.

4 Usla sikal inge nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik, ac filiya mutun Tuptup in Wuleang, yen nga osun nu sum we.

You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.

5 Na sikal soko lun mwet se su nga sulela uh fah srunak. In ouiya se inge nga fah tulokinya torkaskas lun mwet Israel ma elos oru na lain kom.”

It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you."

6 Ke ma inge Moses el kaskas nu sin mwet Israel, ac kais sie mwet kol lalos sang sikal soko nu sel — sikal soko ke kais sie sruf, ma singoul lukwa nufon — ac sikal lal Aaron oan pac kac.

Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their leaders gave him rods, one for each leader, according to their ancestral houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

7 Na Moses el filiya sikal nukewa in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ye mutun Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD.

Moses laid up the rods before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony.

8 Len tok ah, ke Moses el utyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal el liyauk lah sikal lal Aaron, ma aolyen sruf lun Levi, srunak tari. Oasr ros motul, ros fareng ac fokla almond mwesr!

It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and look, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.

9 Moses el srukak sikal nukewa ac sang nu sin mwet Israel. Elos liye ma sikyak, ac kais sie mwet kol srukak sikal lal sifacna.

Moses brought out all the rods from before Jehovah to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.

10 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Folokonla sikal lal Aaron nu ye mutun Tuptup in Wuleang. In karinginyukyang tuh in mwe sensenkakin mwet Israel nukewa su tunyuna, lah elos ac misa elos fin tia tui ke torkaskas lalos.”

Jehovah said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die."

11 Moses el oru oana LEUM GOD El sapkin.

Moses did so. As Jehovah commanded him, so he did.

12 Mwet Israel elos fahk nu sel Moses, “Kut tuhlac na pwaye. Kut nukewa ac wanginla!

The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, "Look, we perish. We are undone. We are all undone.

13 Mwet se fin kalukyang nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal na el ac misa — kalem lah kut nukewa ac misa!”

Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of Jehovah, dies. Will we all perish?"
