Lakkoobsa 17
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the LORD spoke unto 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 rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods; thou shalt write every man's name upon his rod.
3 Sababii tokkoo tokkoo hoogganaa gosa abbootiitiif uleen tokko jiraachuu qabuuf maqaa Aroon ulee Lewwii irratti barreessi.
And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi, for there shall be one rod for the 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 rod shall bud; and I will make to cease from Me the murmurings 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 unto the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
7 Museenis uleewwan sana dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa keessa fuula Waaqayyoo dura kaaʼe.
And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD 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 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 bloomed blossoms, and bore ripe 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 rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel; and they looked, and took every man 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 unto Moses: 'Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept there, for a token against the rebellious children; that there may be made an end of their murmurings against Me, that they die not.'
11 Museenis akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana godhe.
Thus did Moses; as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
12 Israaʼeloonni Museedhaan akkana jedhan; “Nu ni duuna! Nu badneerra; nu hundinuu badneerra!
And the children of Israel spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
13 Namni dunkaana qulqulluu Waaqayyootti dhiʼaatu kam iyyuu ni duʼa. Nu amma duʼuuf jirraa?”
Every one that cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of the LORD, is to die; shall we wholly perish?'
