Numeri 17
Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero
Kuphukira kwa Ndodo ya Aaroni
17 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, 2 “Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo akupatse ndodo khumi ndi ziwiri, imodzi kuchokera kwa mtsogoleri wa fuko lililonse. Ulembe dzina la munthu aliyense pa ndodo yake. 3 Pa ndodo ya Levi ulembepo dzina la Aaroni, chifukwa pafunika ndodo imodzi ya mtsogoleri pa fuko lililonse. 4 Uyike ndodozo mu tenti ya msonkhano, kutsogolo kwa Bokosi la Umboni, kumene ndimakumana nawe. 5 Ndodo ya munthu amene ndamusankha idzachita maluwa potero ndidzaletsa madandawulo osatha a Aisraeli otsutsana nawe.”
6 Choncho Mose anayankhula ndi Aisraeli, ndipo atsogoleri awo anapereka ndodo khumi ndi ziwiri, imodzi kuchokera kwa mtsogoleri wa fuko lililonse ndipo ndodo ya Aaroni inali pakati pa ndodo zawozo. 7 Mose anayika ndodozo pamaso pa Yehova mu tenti ya msonkhano.
8 Pa tsiku lotsatira Mose analowa mu tenti ya msonkhanoyo ndipo anaona kuti ndodo ya Aaroni, yomwe inkayimira fuko la Levi, sinangophuka masamba chabe, komanso inachita maluwa nʼkubala zipatso za alimondi. 9 Choncho Mose anatulutsa ndodo zonse pamaso pa Yehova napita nazo kwa Aisraeli onse. Iwowo anaziona ndipo munthu aliyense anatenga ndodo yake.
10 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Bwezera ndodo ya Aaroni patsogolo pa Bokosi la Umboni, kuti chikhale chizindikiro cha kuwukira kwawo. Zimenezi zidzathetsa kudandaula kwawo kotsutsana nane, kuopa kuti angafe.” 11 Mose anachita monga Yehova anamulamulira.
12 Aisraeli anati kwa Mose, “Tikufa! Tatayika, tonse tatayika! 13 Aliyense woyandikira chihema adzafa. Kodi ndiye kuti tonse tikufa?”
Numbers 17
King James Version
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.
3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
7 And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
11 And Moses did so: as the Lord commanded him, so did he.
12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the Lord shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?

Aaron’s Rod Buds
17 [a]Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and get from them a rod for each father’s household: twelve rods from all their leaders according to their fathers’ households. You shall write each name on his rod, 3 and write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi; for there is one rod for the head of each of their fathers’ households. 4 You shall then deposit them in the tent of meeting in front of (A)the testimony, where I meet with you. 5 And it will come about that the rod of (B)the man whom I choose will sprout. Thus I will rid Myself of the grumblings of the sons of Israel, who are grumbling against you.” 6 Moses therefore spoke to the sons of Israel, and all their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers’ households, twelve rods, with the rod of Aaron among their rods. 7 So Moses deposited the rods before Yahweh in (C)the tent of the testimony.
8 Now it happened on the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, (D)the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced flowers, and it bore ripe almonds. 9 Moses then brought out all the rods from the presence of Yahweh to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod. 10 But Yahweh said to Moses, “Put back the rod of Aaron (E)before the testimony [b]to be kept as a sign against the [c](F)rebels, that you may put an end to their grumblings against Me, so that they will not die.” 11 Thus Moses did; just as Yahweh had commanded him, so he did.
12 Then the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “(G)Behold, we are breathing our last breath, we are perishing, we are all perishing! 13 (H)Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of Yahweh, must die. Are we to breathe our utter last?”
