Lakkoobsa 17
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And Jehovah 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 unto the children of Israel, and take of them a staff, a staff for each father's house, of all their princes according to the houses of their fathers, twelve staves: thou shalt write each one's name upon his staff.
3 Sababii tokkoo tokkoo hoogganaa gosa abbootiitiif uleen tokko jiraachuu qabuuf maqaa Aroon ulee Lewwii irratti barreessi.
And Aaron's name shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi; for one staff shall be for [each] head of their fathers' houses.
4 Uleewwan kanneenis dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa fuula taabota kakuu seeraa dura iddoo ani itti isiniin wal argu sana kaaʼi.
And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
5 Uleen nama ani filadhuu ni lata; anis guungummii Israaʼeloonni yeroo hunda isinitti guunguman of irraa nan kuta.”
And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his staff shall bud forth; and I will make to cease from before me the murmurings of the children of Israel, that 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 princes gave him a staff, one staff for each prince according to their fathers' houses, twelve staves, and the staff of Aaron was among their staves.
7 Museenis uleewwan sana dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa keessa fuula Waaqayyoo dura kaaʼe.
And Moses laid the staves before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony.
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, when on the morrow Moses went into the tent of the testimony, behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and ripened 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 out all the staves from before Jehovah to all the children of Israel, and they looked and took each one his staff.
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 Jehovah said to Moses, Bring Aaron's staff again before the testimony, to be kept as a token for the sons of rebellion, that thou mayest put an end to their murmurings before me, that they may not die.
11 Museenis akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana godhe.
And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.
12 Israaʼeloonni Museedhaan akkana jedhan; “Nu ni duuna! Nu badneerra; nu hundinuu badneerra!
And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Lo, we expire, we perish, we all perish.
13 Namni dunkaana qulqulluu Waaqayyootti dhiʼaatu kam iyyuu ni duʼa. Nu amma duʼuuf jirraa?”
Every one that comes at all near to the tabernacle of Jehovah shall die: shall we then expire altogether?
