Numbers 17
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and take rods from them, one for each fathers’ house, of all their princes according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods. Write each man’s name on his rod.
»Govori Izraelovim otrokom in vzemi od vsakega izmed njih palico glede na hišo njihovih očetov, od vseh njihovih princev glede na hišo njihovih očetov, dvanajst palic. Ime vsakega moža zapiši na njegovo palico.
3 You shall write Aaron’s name on Levi’s rod. There shall be one rod for each head of their fathers’ houses.
Aronovo ime boš zapisal na Lévijevo palico, kajti ena palica bo za poglavarja hiše njihovih očetov.
4 You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the covenant, where I meet with you.
Položil jih boš v šotorsko svetišče skupnosti, pred pričevanje, kjer se bom srečal s teboj.
5 It shall happen that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud. I will make the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you, cease from me.”
In zgodilo se bo, da bo palica moža, ki ga bom jaz izbral, zacvetela in naredil bom, da pred menoj prenehajo mrmranja Izraelovih otrok, s čimer so mrmrali zoper vaju.«
6 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, a total of twelve rods. Aaron’s rod was among their rods.
Mojzes je spregovoril Izraelovim otrokom in vsak izmed njihovih princev mu je dal palico, za vsakega princa eno, glede na hiše njihovih očetov, torej dvanajst palic in Aronova palica je bila med njihovimi palicami.
7 Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the Tent of the Testimony.
Mojzes je palice položil pred Gospoda v šotorskem svetišču pričevanja.
8 On the next day, Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony; and behold, Aaron’s rod for the house of Levi had sprouted, budded, produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
Pripetilo se je, da je naslednji dan Mojzes odšel v šotorsko svetišče pričevanja in glej, Aronova palica, za Lévijevo hišo, je vzbrstela, pognala brste, pokazala cvetove in obrodila mandlje.
9 Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel. They looked, and each man took his rod.
Mojzes je vse palice prinesel izpred Gospoda k vsem Izraelovim otrokom. Pogledali so in vsak mož je vzel svojo palico.
10 The LORD said to Moses, “Put back the rod of Aaron before the covenant, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may make an end of their complaining against me, that they not die.”
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Aronovo palico ponovno prinesi pred pričevanje, da bo kot simbol ohranjena zoper upornike, in njihova mrmranja boš popolnoma odvzel od mene, da ne bodo pomrli.«
11 Moses did so. As the LORD commanded him, so he did.
Mojzes je storil tako. Kakor mu je Gospod zapovedal, tako je storil.
12 The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “Behold, we perish! We are undone! We are all undone!
Izraelovi otroci so govorili Mojzesu, rekoč: »Glej, umiramo, izginjamo, mi vsi izginjamo.
13 Everyone who keeps approaching the LORD’s tabernacle, dies! Will we all perish?”
Kdorkoli prihaja kakorkoli blizu Gospodovega šotorskega svetišča bo umrl. Mar bomo použiti z umirajočimi?«
