Nomery 17
1 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the Lord 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 children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod by their kindreds, of all the princes of the tribes, twelve rods, and write the name of every man 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 the name of Aaron shall be for the tribe of Levi, and one rod shall contain all their families:
4 apoho an-kibohom-pamantañañe aolo’ i fañina fifampikaoñan-tikañey.
And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the covenant before the testimony, where I will speak to thee.
5 Ie amy zao, hitaroke ty kobai’ ondaty ho joboñeko; le hijihetse ty fitoreo’ o ana’ Israeleo amako, i fiñeoñeoñe ama’o lomoñandroy.
Whomsoever of these I shall choose, his rod shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, wherewith 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 children of Israel: and all the princes gave him rods one for every tribe: and there were twelve rods besides the rod of Aaron.
7 vaho napo’ i Mosè añatrefa’ Iehovà amy kibohom-pañinay i kobaiñe rey.
And when Moses had laid them up before the Lord in the tabernacle 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.
He returned on the following day, and found that the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi, was budded: and that the buds swelling it had bloomed blossoms, which spreading the leaves, were formed into 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.
Moses therefore brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel: and they saw, and every one received their rods.
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: Carry back the rod of Aaron into the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be kept there for a token of the rebellious children of Israel, and that their complaints may cease from me lest they die.
11 Aa le nanoe’ i Mosè izay; i nandilia’ Iehovà azey ty nanoe’e.
And Moses did as the Lord had commanded.
12 Le hoe o ana’Israeleo amy Mosè, Mihamomoke zahay, motso, fonga mongotse!
And the children of Israel said to Moses: Behold we are consumed, we all perish.
13 Ndra iaia mitotoke mb’eo, naho mañarine i kivoho’ Iehovày le havetrake. Kila hibanìtse hao zahay?
Whosoever approacheth to the tabernacle of the Lord, he dieth. Are we all to a man to be utterly destroyed?
