Tirintii 17
1 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
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.
“Tell the Israeli people to bring to you twelve walking sticks. They should bring one from each of the leaders of the twelve tribes. You should carve each leader’s name on his stick.
3 Usha reer Laawi waxaad ku qortaa magaca Haaruun. Qabiilooyinkooda madaxdooda mid kastaaba waa inuu ul lahaadaa.
There must be one stick for the leader of each tribe, so you must carve Aaron’s name on the stick for the tribe of Levi.
4 Oo waa inaad iyaga hor dhigtaa maragga teendhada shirka ku yaal, taasoo ah meesha aan idinkula kulmo.
Put those sticks inside the Sacred Tent, in front of the sacred chest that has in it the tablets on which the Ten Commandments are written. That is the place where I always talk with 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.
Buds will sprout on the stick of the man whom I have chosen [to be the priest]. [When the people see that], they will stop their constantly complaining about you [because they will realize that you are the one whom I have chosen].”
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.
So Moses/I told the people what Yahweh had said. Then each of the twelve Israeli leaders, including Aaron, brought his walking stick to Moses/me.
7 Markaasaa Muuse ulihii dhigay Rabbiga hortiisa teendhadii maragga gudaheeda.
Moses/I placed the sticks inside the Sacred Tent in front of the sacred chest.
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.
The following morning, when he/I went into the tent, he/I saw that Aaron’s stick, which represented the tribe of Levi, had sprouted, it had produced leaves and blossoms, and it had also produced almonds that were ripe!
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.
Moses/I brought all the sticks out of the Sacred Tent and showed them to the people. Each of the twelve leaders took back his own stick.
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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Put Aaron’s stick in front of the sacred chest, and let it stay there permanently. That will be a warning to people who want to rebel [against me]. Then no more people will die [because of complaining against me].”
11 Oo sidaasaa Muuse yeelay. Sidii Rabbigu isaga ugu amray ayuu u sameeyey.
So Moses/I did what Yahweh had commanded.
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 Israeli people said to Moses/me, “We are going to die! All of us are surely going to die!
13 Mid kasta oo soo dhowaada oo u soo dhowaadaa taambuugga Rabbiga wuu dhiman doonaa. Haddaba kulligayo miyaannu wada baabba'aynaa?
Everyone who comes close to Yahweh’s Sacred Tent dies. Are the rest of us going to die, also?” [RHQ]
