Na Helu 17
1 OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 E olelo aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, a e lawe oe i ke kookoo o kela kanaka a i ke kookoo o keia kanaka, no ka ohana o ko lakou poe kupuna, o na luna o lakou a pau, no ka ohana o ko lakou poe kupuna, i na kookoo he umikumamalua; a e kakau oe i ka inoa o kela kanaka keia kanaka maluna o kona kookoo iho.
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 E kakau hoi oe i ka inoa o Aarona maluna o ke kookoo no ka Levi: hookahi kookoo, no ka hma ohana o ko lakou mau kupuna ia.
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 A e waiho oe ia mau mea ma ka halelewa o ke anaina, imua o ke kanawai, kahi a'u e halawai ai me olua.
And you shall put them in the tabernacle of witness, before the testimony, where I will be made known to you.
5 A o ke kookoo o ke kanaka e wae iho ai, e pua no ia; a e hoopaa no wau mai o'u aku nei i na ohnmu ana a ka poe mamo a Iseraela e ohumn aku nei ia olua.
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 Olelo aku la o Mose i na mamo a Iseraela, a haawi mai la kela luna keia luna i kekahi kookoo ia ia, hookahi luna hookahi kookoo no na ohana o ko lakou poe kupuna, he umikumamalua mau kookoo: a iwaena o ko lakou mau kookoo, ke kookoo o Aarona.
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 A waiho aku la o Mose i na kookoo imua o Iehova, maloko o ka halelewa o ke kanawai.
And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
8 A ia la ae, komo aku la o Mose iloko o ka halelewa o ke kanawai; aia hoi, ua opuu mai ke kookoo o Aarona no ka ohana a Levi, a ua mohala ae na opuu, ua poa i na pua, a na hua mai i na hua alemona.
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 Lawe mai la o Mose i na kookoo a pau iwaho, mai ke alo o Iehova mai, a imua o na mamo a pau a Iseraela: nana ae la lakou, a lawe aku la kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona kookoo iho.
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 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E lawe hou mai i ke kookoo o Aarona imua o ke kanawai, e malamaia'i i hoailona no ka poe kipi; a e lawe lilo loa aku oe i ko lakou ohumu ana mai o'u aku nei, i make ole ai lakou.
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 A hana aku la o Mose; e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia, peia ia i hana'i.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.
12 Olelo mai la na mamo a Iseraela ia Mose, i mai la, Aia hoi, ua make makou, ua pau makou, ua pau makou a pau.
And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we are cut off, we are destroyed, we are consumed.
13 O ka mea hele a kokoke aku i ka halelewa o Iehova, e make ia: e pau loa no anei makou i ka make?
Every one that touches the tabernacle of the Lord, dies: shall we die utterly?
