Nomery 17
1 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Misaontsia amo ana’ Israeleo naho mangala kobay amo anjomban-droae iabio, ze talèn’ anjomban-droae—kobay folo-ro’amby, ie songa hanokitse ty tahina’e amy kobai’ey.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and take rods from them, one for each father's house, from all their rulers according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods. Write thou every man's name upon his rod.
3 Le sokiro an-kobai’ i Levy eo ty tahina’ i Aharone. Sindre kobain-droae raike ami’ty talèn’ anjomban-droae’ey, vaho
And thou shall write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi, for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.
4 apoho an-kibohom-pamantañañe aolo’ i fañina fifampikaoñan-tikañey.
And thou shall lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
5 Ie amy zao, hitaroke ty kobai’ ondaty ho joboñeko; le hijihetse ty fitoreo’ o ana’ Israeleo amako, i fiñeoñeoñe ama’o lomoñandroy.
And it shall come to pass, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud. And I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they murmur against you.
6 Aa le nisaontsy amo ana’ Israeleo t’i Mosè vaho songa nanolotse kobay raike o talèo, ty aman-talèn’ anjomban-droae’e; kobay folo-ro’ amby; le nitraok’ amo kobai’ iareoo ty kobai’ i Aharone
And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel. And all their rulers gave him rods, for each ruler one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
7 vaho napo’ i Mosè añatrefa’ Iehovà amy kibohom-pañinay i kobaiñe rey.
And Moses laid up the rods before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony.
8 Aa naho nimoak’ amy kibohom-pañinay t’i Mosè te loak’andro, hehe te nitaroke naho namotiboty naho namòñe vaho namoa mahabibo àñoñe ty kobai’ i Aharone añ’anjomba’ i Levy.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
9 Le naaka’ i Mosè boak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà mb’ amo ana’ Israele iabio i kobay rey; nahaisake iereo vaho sambe nandrambe ty kobai’e.
And Moses brought out all the rods from before Jehovah to all the sons of Israel. And they looked, and took every man his rod.
10 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ampolio aolo’ i fañinay ty kobai’ i Aharone ho viloñe amo manjehatseo, hampigadoñe ty fañinjea’ iareo ahy tsy mone hikenkañe.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a sign against the sons of rebellion, that thou may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they not die.
11 Aa le nanoe’ i Mosè izay; i nandilia’ Iehovà azey ty nanoe’e.
Thus Moses did. As Jehovah commanded him, so he did.
12 Le hoe o ana’Israeleo amy Mosè, Mihamomoke zahay, motso, fonga mongotse!
And the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
13 Ndra iaia mitotoke mb’eo, naho mañarine i kivoho’ Iehovày le havetrake. Kila hibanìtse hao zahay?
Every man who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of Jehovah, dies. Shall we all of us perish?
