< Numbers 17 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Tad Tas Kungs runāja uz Mozu un sacīja:
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and receive from each of them a rod by their kinships, from all the leaders of the tribes, twelve rods, and write the name of each one on his rod.
Runā uz Israēla bērniem un ņem no tiem priekš ikviena tēva nama vienu zizli, no visiem viņu virsniekiem pēc viņu tēvu namiem divpadsmit zižļus; tev ikviena vārdu būs rakstīt uz viņa zizli.
3 But the name of Aaron shall be for the tribe of Levi, and one rod separately shall contain all their families.
Bet Ārona vārdu tev būs rakstīt uz Levja cilts zizli, jo ikvienam zizlim būs būt priekš sava tēva nama galvas.
4 And you shall place these in the tabernacle of the covenant before the testimony, where I will speak to you.
Un tev tos būs nolikt saiešanas teltī liecības priekšā, kur Es ar jums sanāku.
5 Whomever of these I will choose, his rod will germinate, and so shall I restrain the complaints of the sons of Israel before me, by which they murmur against you.”
Un tad tā vīra zizlis, ko Es izvēlēšu, zaļos, un Es klusināšu Israēla bērnu kurnēšanu pret Mani, ar ko tie pret jums kurn.
6 And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel. And all the leaders gave him rods, one for each tribe. And there were twelve rods, aside from the rod of Aaron.
Un Mozus runāja uz Israēla bērniem. Tad visi viņu virsnieki viņam deva ikviens virsnieks vienu zizli, pēc saviem tēvu namiem divpadsmit zižļus; tur arī Ārona zizlis bija starp viņu zižļiem.
7 And when Moses had placed these before the Lord, in the tabernacle of the testimony,
Un Mozus nolika tos zižļus Tā Kunga priekšā liecības teltī.
8 returning on the following day, he found that the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi, had germinated, and that the swelling buds had opened into flowers, which, spreading their petals, were formed into those of an almond tree.
Un otrā ritā, kad Mozus iegāja liecības teltī, tad redzi, Ārona zizlis priekš Levja nama zaļoja, un ziedi bija izplaukuši un bija nesuši mandeles.
9 Therefore, Moses brought out all the rods, from the sight of the Lord, to all the sons of Israel. And they saw, and each one received their rods.
Un Mozus iznesa visus šos zižļus no Tā Kunga priekšas pie visiem Israēla bērniem, un tie to redzēja, un ikviens ņēma savu zizli.
10 And the Lord said to Moses: “Carry back the rod of Aaron into the tabernacle of the testimony, so that it may be kept there as a sign of the rebellion of the sons of Israel, and so that their complaints may be quieted before me, lest they die.”
Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Mozu: nes Ārona zizli atpakaļ liecības priekšā, to paglabāt par zīmi pārgalvjiem; tā tev to kurnēšanu pret Mani būs apklusināt, ka tiem nav jāmirst.
11 And Moses did just as the Lord had instructed.
Un Mozus tā darīja; itin kā Tas Kungs tam bija pavēlējis, tā viņš darīja.
12 Then the sons of Israel said to Moses: “Behold, we have been consumed; we have been ruined.
Tad Israēla bērni runāja uz Mozu: redzi, mēs mirstam, mēs ejam bojā, mēs visi ejam bojā.
13 Whoever approaches to the tabernacle of the Lord dies. Will we all be wiped away, even to total annihilation?”
Ikviens, kas pie Tā Kunga dzīvokļa pieiet, tam jāmirst; vai tad mums patiesi būs iet bojā?
