Numbers 17

1 And the Lord said to Moses,

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

2 Say to the children of Israel that they are to give you rods, one for every family, for every chief, the head of his father's house, making twelve rods; let every man's name be placed on his rod.

“Fahk nu sin mwet Israel elos in sot nu sum singoul lukwa sikal, kais soko sin mwet kol lun kais sie sruf. Simusla inen kais sie mwet ke sikal lal,

3 And let Aaron's name be placed on the rod of Levi: for there is to be one rod for the head of every family.

na simusla inel Aaron ke sikal soko lun sruf Levi. Ac fah oasr sikal soko sin kais sie mwet kol lun sruf.

4 And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you.

Usla sikal inge nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik, ac filiya mutun Tuptup in Wuleang, yen nga osun nu sum we.

5 And the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me against you.

Na sikal soko lun mwet se su nga sulela uh fah srunak. In ouiya se inge nga fah tulokinya torkaskas lun mwet Israel ma elos oru na lain kom.”

6 So Moses gave these orders to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him rods, one for the head of every family, making twelve rods: and Aaron's rod was among them.

Ke ma inge Moses el kaskas nu sin mwet Israel, ac kais sie mwet kol lalos sang sikal soko nu sel — sikal soko ke kais sie sruf, ma singoul lukwa nufon — ac sikal lal Aaron oan pac kac.

7 And Moses put the rods before the Lord in the Tent of witness.

Na Moses el filiya sikal nukewa in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ye mutun Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD.

8 Now on the day after, Moses went into the Tent of witness; and he saw that Aaron's rod, the rod of the house of Levi, had put out buds, and was covered with buds and flowers and fruit.

Len tok ah, ke Moses el utyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal el liyauk lah sikal lal Aaron, ma aolyen sruf lun Levi, srunak tari. Oasr ros motul, ros fareng ac fokla almond mwesr!

9 Then Moses took out all the rods from before the Lord, and gave them back to the children of Israel: and they saw them, and every man took his rod.

Moses el srukak sikal nukewa ac sang nu sin mwet Israel. Elos liye ma sikyak, ac kais sie mwet kol srukak sikal lal sifacna.

10 And the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them.

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Folokonla sikal lal Aaron nu ye mutun Tuptup in Wuleang. In karinginyukyang tuh in mwe sensenkakin mwet Israel nukewa su tunyuna, lah elos ac misa elos fin tia tui ke torkaskas lalos.”

11 This Moses did: as the Lord gave orders, so he did.

Moses el oru oana LEUM GOD El sapkin.

12 And the children of Israel said to Moses, Truly, destruction has come on us; an evil fate has overtaken us all.

Mwet Israel elos fahk nu sel Moses, “Kut tuhlac na pwaye. Kut nukewa ac wanginla!

13 Death will overtake everyone who comes near, who comes near the House of the Lord: are we all to come to destruction?

Mwet se fin kalukyang nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal na el ac misa — kalem lah kut nukewa ac misa!”
