Numbers 17
1 Olúwa sì sọ fún Mose pé,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kí o sì gba ọ̀pá méjìlá lọ́wọ́ wọn, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan lọ́wọ́ olórí ìdílé ẹ̀yà ìran wọn, kọ orúkọ ènìyàn kọ̀ọ̀kan sí ara ọ̀pá rẹ̀.
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 Lórí ọ̀pá Lefi kọ orúkọ Aaroni, nítorí ọ̀pá kọ̀ọ̀kan gbọdọ̀ wà fún olórí ìdílé kọ̀ọ̀kan tí yóò jẹ́ orí fún ẹ̀yà ìran kọ̀ọ̀kan.
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 Kó wọn sí àgọ́ ìpàdé níwájú ẹ̀rí níbi tí èmi ti ń pàdé yín.
And you shall put them in the tabernacle of witness, before the testimony, where I will be made known to you.
5 Ọ̀pá tí ó bá yí jẹ́ ti ẹni tí èmi bá yàn yóò rúwé, èmi yóò sì dá kíkùn gbogbo ìgbà àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sí yín dúró.”
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 Nígbà náà Mose bá àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ̀rọ̀, àwọn olórí wọn sì fún un ní ọ̀pá méjìlá, ọ̀pá kan fún olórí kọ̀ọ̀kan ẹ̀yà ìran wọn, ọ̀pá Aaroni sì wà lára àwọn ọ̀pá náà.
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 Mose sì fi ọ̀pá wọ̀nyí lélẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa nínú àgọ́ ẹ̀rí.
And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
8 Ó sì ṣe ní ọjọ́ kejì Mose wọ inú àgọ́ ẹ̀rí lọ, ó sì rí ọ̀pá Aaroni, tí ó dúró fún ẹ̀yà Lefi, kì í ṣe wí pé ó hù nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n ó rúwé, ó yọ ìtànná, ó sì so èso almondi.
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 Nígbà náà ni Mose kó gbogbo àwọn ọ̀pá jáde láti iwájú Olúwa wá fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Wọ́n wò wọ́n, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan sì mú ọ̀pá tirẹ̀.
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 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Mú ọ̀pá Aaroni padà wá síwájú ẹ̀rí, láti fi pamọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àmì fún àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀. Èyí ó sì mú òpin bá kíkùn sínú wọn sí mi, kí wọn kí ó má ba à kú.”
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 Mose sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti páláṣẹ fún un.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.
12 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ fún Mose pé, “Àwa yóò kú! A ti sọnù, gbogbo wa ti sọnù!
And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we are cut off, we are destroyed, we are consumed.
13 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá súnmọ́ tabanaku Olúwa yóò kú. Ṣé gbogbo wa ni yóò kú?”
Every one that touches the tabernacle of the Lord, dies: shall we die utterly?
