Nomery 17
1 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the Lord said to Moses,
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.
Say to the children of Israel that they are to give you rods, one for every family, for every chief, the head of his father's house, making twelve rods; let every man's name be placed on 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 let Aaron's name be placed on the rod of Levi: for there is to be one rod for the head of every family.
4 apoho an-kibohom-pamantañañe aolo’ i fañina fifampikaoñan-tikañey.
And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to 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 the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me 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
So Moses gave these orders to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him rods, one for the head of every family, making twelve rods: and Aaron's rod was among them.
7 vaho napo’ i Mosè añatrefa’ Iehovà amy kibohom-pañinay i kobaiñe rey.
And Moses put the rods before the Lord in the Tent of witness.
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.
Now on the day after, Moses went into the Tent of witness; and he saw that Aaron's rod, the rod of the house of Levi, had put out buds, and was covered with buds and flowers and fruit.
9 Le naaka’ i Mosè boak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà mb’ amo ana’ Israele iabio i kobay rey; nahaisake iereo vaho sambe nandrambe ty kobai’e.
Then Moses took out all the rods from before the Lord, and gave them back to the children of Israel: and they saw them, and every man took 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 the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them.
11 Aa le nanoe’ i Mosè izay; i nandilia’ Iehovà azey ty nanoe’e.
This Moses did: as the Lord gave orders, so he did.
12 Le hoe o ana’Israeleo amy Mosè, Mihamomoke zahay, motso, fonga mongotse!
And the children of Israel said to Moses, Truly, destruction has come on us; an evil fate has overtaken us all.
13 Ndra iaia mitotoke mb’eo, naho mañarine i kivoho’ Iehovày le havetrake. Kila hibanìtse hao zahay?
Death will overtake everyone who comes near, who comes near the House of the Lord: are we all to come to destruction?
