Numbers 17

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:

2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and take of euery one of them a rod, after the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the familie of their fathers, euen twelue rods: and thou shalt write euery mans name vpon his rod.

“Pale avèk fis Israël yo, e pran yon branch bwa pou chak kay fanmi zansèt yo: douz branch bwa ki sòti nan tout chèf yo selon kay fanmi zansèt yo. Nou va ekri non a chak sou branch pa yo.

3 And write Aarons name vpon the rod of Leui: for euery rodde shalbe for the head of the house of their fathers.

Ekri non a Aaron sou branch Levi a. Konsa, va gen yon sèl branch pou tèt a chak kay fanmi zansèt yo.

4 And thou shalt put them in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before the Arke of the Testimonie, where I wil declare my selfe to you.

Epi nou va depoze yo nan tant asanble a devan lach temwayaj la, kote Mwen rankontre nou an.

5 And the mans rod, whome I chuse, shall blossome: and I will make cease from mee the grudgings of the children of Israel, which grudge against you.

“Li va vin rive ke branch moun ke Mwen chwazi a, va boujonnen. Konsa, Mwen va fè sispann tout bougonnen fis Israël k ap fèt kont nou menm.”

6 Then Moses spake vnto the children of Israel, and al their princes gaue him a rod, one rod for euery Prince, according to the houses of their fathers, euen twelue rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their roddes.

Konsa, Moïse te pale avèk fis Israël yo, e tout chèf yo te bay li yon branch pou chak nan yo; pou chak chèf, selon kay fanmi zansèt yo, douz branch avèk branch Aaron an pami branch yo.

7 And Moses layde the rods before the Lord in the Tabernacle of the Testimonie.

Konsa, Moïse te depoze branch yo devan SENYÈ a nan tant asanble a.

8 And when Moses on the morow went into the Tabernacle of the Testimonie, beholde, the rod of Aaron for the house of Leui was budded, and brought forth buddes, and brought forth blossoms, and bare ripe almondes.

Alò, nan jou apre a, Moïse te antre nan tant lan; epi vwala, branch Aaron an pou fanmi zansèt Levi a te boujonnen. E li pa t sèlman boujonnen, men li te pwodwi flè, e osi li te pote zanmann mi.

9 Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord vnto all the children of Israel: and they looked vpon them, and tooke euery man his rodde.

Konsa, Moïse te pote deyò tout branch ki te nan prezans a SENYÈ a vè tout fis Israël yo. Yo te gade, e chak mesye te pran pwòp branch pa l.

10 After, the Lord said vnto Moses, Bring Aarons rod againe before the Testimonie to bee kept for a token to the rebellious children, and thou shalt cause their murmurings to cease from me, that they dye not.

Men SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Remete branch Aaron a devan lach temwayaj la, pou kenbe kòm yon sign kont rebèl yo, pou ou kapab mete fen a plent kont Mwen yo, pou yo pa mouri.”

11 So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him: so did he.

Konsa, Moïse te fè; jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande li a, konsa li te fè.

12 And the children of Israel spake vnto Moses, saying, Behold, we are dead, we perish, we are all lost:

Alò, fis Israël yo te pale avèk Moïse e te di l: “Gade byen, n ap mouri, nou tout ap mouri!

13 Whosoeuer commeth neere, or approcheth to the Tabernacle of the Lord, shall dye: shall we be consumed and dye?

Tout moun ki pwoche, ki vin pwoche toupre tabènak SENYÈ a, fòk li mouri. Èske nou tout va peri nèt?”
