¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹Li Kâcuaß quiâtinac riqßuin laj Moisés ut quixye re:

²Speak 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.

²—Tâye reheb li cablaju li nequeßjolomin reheb li junjûnk xtêpaleb laj Israel nak teßxcßam junjûnk li xukß âcuiqßuin. Ut lâat tâtzßîba xcßabaß li junjûnk chiru lix xukß.

³And 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.

³Saß lix xukß laj Leví tâtzßîba lix cßabaß laj Aarón. Tento nak cuânk jun xxukßeb li nequeßjolomin reheb li cablaju xtêpaleb laj Israel.

⁴And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.

⁴Tâqßueheb li xukß saß li tabernáculo chiru li Lokßlaj Câx li cuan cuiß li contrato li ninhilan cuiß lâin.

⁵And 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.

⁵Lix xukß li cuînk li tinsicß ru lâin tâatzßumak. Riqßuin aßin teßxcanab cuechßînc eb laj Israel chêrix lâex, chan li Dios.

⁶And 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.

⁶Joßcan nak laj Moisés quiâtinac riqßuineb laj Israel. Ut eb li cablaju li nequeßjolomin reheb lix têpaleb laj Israel queßxqßue junjûnk li xukß saß xcßabaßeb lix xeßtônil yucuaßeb. Ut lix xukß laj Aarón cuan saß xyânkeb.

⁷And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.

⁷Ut laj Moisés quixqßueheb li xukß chiru li Kâcuaß saß li tabernáculo.

⁸And 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.

⁸Cuulajak chic laj Moisés qui-oc saß li tabernáculo ut quiril nak lix xukß li queßxqßue saß xcßabaß laj Leví ac x-el xtux. Ut qui-atzßumac ut quirûchin li almendra.

⁹And 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.

⁹Laj Moisés quirisiheb li xukß saß li tabernáculo chiru li Kâcuaß. Ut quixcßut chiruheb laj Israel. Queßril ut li junjûnk queßxchap lix xukß.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re laj Moisés: —Tâxoc lix xukß laj Aarón ut tâqßue chiru li Lokßlaj Câx chokß retalil chiruheb li nequeßcuechßin. Riqßuin aßin teßxcanab li cuechßînc chicuix re nak incßaß teßcâmk, chan.

¹¹And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.

¹¹Ut laj Moisés quixbânu joß quixye li Kâcuaß re.

¹²And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.

¹²Abanan eb laj Israel queßxye re laj Moisés: —Lâo tocâmk. Osocß ke. Tâsachekß ku.Yalak ani tânachßok riqßuin lix tabernáculo li Kâcuaß tâcâmk. Chikajunilo lâo to-osokß, chanqueb.

¹³Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?

¹³Yalak ani tânachßok riqßuin lix tabernáculo li Kâcuaß tâcâmk. Chikajunilo lâo to-osokß, chanqueb.
