Tirintii 17

1 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Reer binu Israa'iil la hadal, oo iyaga ulo ka qaad. Qabiil kastaba ul ka qaad; amiirradooda oo dhan sida ay qabiilooyinkoodu kala yihiin laba iyo toban ulood ka kala qaad. Oo nin walba magiciisa ushiisa ku qor.

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and receive from each of them a rod by their kinships, from all the leaders of the tribes, twelve rods, and write the name of each one on his rod.

3 Usha reer Laawi waxaad ku qortaa magaca Haaruun. Qabiilooyinkooda madaxdooda mid kastaaba waa inuu ul lahaadaa.

But the name of Aaron shall be for the tribe of Levi, and one rod separately shall contain all their families.

4 Oo waa inaad iyaga hor dhigtaa maragga teendhada shirka ku yaal, taasoo ah meesha aan idinkula kulmo.

And you shall place these in the tabernacle of the covenant before the testimony, where I will speak to you.

5 Oo markaas ninkii aan doorto ushiisu way magooli doontaa, oo anna hortayda waan ka joojin doonaa gunuuska ay reer binu Israa'iil adiga kuu gunuusaan.

Whomever of these I will choose, his rod will germinate, and so shall I restrain the complaints of the sons of Israel before me, by which they murmur against you.”

6 Markaasaa Muuse reer binu Israa'iil la hadlay, oo amiirradoodii oo dhammu waxay isagii siiyeen ulo, oo amiir kastaaba mid buu siiyey siday qabiilooyinkoodu ahaayeen, intaasu waxay ahayd laba iyo toban ulood; oo ushii Haaruunna ulahooday ku dhex jirtay.

And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel. And all the leaders gave him rods, one for each tribe. And there were twelve rods, aside from the rod of Aaron.

7 Markaasaa Muuse ulihii dhigay Rabbiga hortiisa teendhadii maragga gudaheeda.

And when Moses had placed these before the Lord, in the tabernacle of the testimony,

8 Maalintii dambe waxaa noqotay in Muuse galay teendhadii maragga, oo bal eeg, wuxuu arkay ushii Haaruun oo reer Laawi oo magooshay; way magooshay, wayna ubxisay, oo waxay dhashay yicib bisil.

returning on the following day, he found that the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi, had germinated, and that the swelling buds had opened into flowers, which, spreading their petals, were formed into those of an almond tree.

9 Markaasaa Muuse ulihii ka soo qaaday Rabbiga hortiisa oo wuxuu u keenay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo way fiiriyeen oo nin waluba ushiisii buu qaatay.

Therefore, Moses brought out all the rods, from the sight of the Lord, to all the sons of Israel. And they saw, and each one received their rods.

10 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, Usha Haaruun dib ugu celi maragga hortiisa in iyada loo haysto calaamo ka gees ah dadka caasiya, inaad iga joojisid gunuuskooda ay ii gunuusaan, yaanay iyagu dhimane.

And the Lord said to Moses: “Carry back the rod of Aaron into the tabernacle of the testimony, so that it may be kept there as a sign of the rebellion of the sons of Israel, and so that their complaints may be quieted before me, lest they die.”

11 Oo sidaasaa Muuse yeelay. Sidii Rabbigu isaga ugu amray ayuu u sameeyey.

And Moses did just as the Lord had instructed.

12 Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil Muuse la hadleen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War bal eeg, waannu baabba'aynaa, oo waannu halligmaynaa, kulligayo waannu wada halligmaynaaye.

Then the sons of Israel said to Moses: “Behold, we have been consumed; we have been ruined.

13 Mid kasta oo soo dhowaada oo u soo dhowaadaa taambuugga Rabbiga wuu dhiman doonaa. Haddaba kulligayo miyaannu wada baabba'aynaa?

Whoever approaches to the tabernacle of the Lord dies. Will we all be wiped away, even to total annihilation?”
