Lakkoobsa 17
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Israaʼelootatti dubbadhuutii hooggantoota gosa abbootii isaanii harkaa ulee tokko tokko, walumaa galatti uleewwan kudha lama fuudhi. Maqaa tokkoo tokkoo namaas ulee isaa irratti barreessi.
Speak to the children of Israel, and take rods of them, according to the houses of their families, a rod from all their princes, according to the houses of their families, twelve rods, and write the name of each on his rod.
3 Sababii tokkoo tokkoo hoogganaa gosa abbootiitiif uleen tokko jiraachuu qabuuf maqaa Aroon ulee Lewwii irratti barreessi.
And write the name of Aaron on the rod of Levi; for it is one rod [for each]: they shall give [them] according to the tribe of the house of their families.
4 Uleewwan kanneenis dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa fuula taabota kakuu seeraa dura iddoo ani itti isiniin wal argu sana kaaʼi.
And you shall put them in the tabernacle of witness, before the testimony, where I will be made known to you.
5 Uleen nama ani filadhuu ni lata; anis guungummii Israaʼeloonni yeroo hunda isinitti guunguman of irraa nan kuta.”
And it shall be, the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall blossom; and I will remove from me the murmuring of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.
6 Museen Israaʼelootatti dubbate; hooggantoonni isaaniis uleewwan kudha lama jechuunis hooggantoota tokkoo tokkoo gosa abbootii isaaniitiif ulee tokko tokko isatti kennan; uleen Aroonis uleewwan sana keessa ture.
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him a rod [each], for one chief a rod, according to the house of their families, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron [was] in the midst of the rods.
7 Museenis uleewwan sana dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa keessa fuula Waaqayyoo dura kaaʼe.
And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
8 Guyyaa itti aanutti Museen dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa seenee uleen Aroon kan gosa Lewwii iddoo buʼu sun isaa latu qofa utuu hin taʼin hudhee daraaree lawuzii naqate arge.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi blossomed, and put forth a bud, and bloomed blossoms and produced almonds.
9 Museen ulee sana hunda fuula Waaqayyoo duraa alatti gad baasee Israaʼeloota hundatti fide. Isaanis ilaalanii tokkoon tokkoon namaa ulee ofii isaa fudhate.
And Moses brought forth all the rods from before the Lord to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each one took his rod.
10 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ulee Aroon fuudhiitii akka inni finciltootaaf mallattoo taʼuuf fuula taabota kakuu seeraa dura deebisii kaaʼi. Kun akka isaan hin dhumneef natti guungumuu isaanii sana dhaabachiisa.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Lay up the rod of Aaron before the testimonies to be kept as a sign for the children of the disobedient; and let their murmuring cease from me, and they shall not die.
11 Museenis akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana godhe.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.
12 Israaʼeloonni Museedhaan akkana jedhan; “Nu ni duuna! Nu badneerra; nu hundinuu badneerra!
And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we are cut off, we are destroyed, we are consumed.
13 Namni dunkaana qulqulluu Waaqayyootti dhiʼaatu kam iyyuu ni duʼa. Nu amma duʼuuf jirraa?”
Every one that touches the tabernacle of the Lord, dies: shall we die utterly?
