Numbers 17
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Potom reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
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.
Reci sinovima Izrailjevijem, i uzmi od njih po jednu palicu od svakoga doma otaca njihovijeh, od svijeh knezova njihovijeh, po domovima otaca njihovijeh, dvanaest palica, i ime svakoga napiši na palici njegovoj.
3 But the name of Aaron shall be for the tribe of Levi, and one rod separately shall contain all their families.
A na palici Levijevoj napiši ime Aronovo, jer je svaka palica za jednog poglavara od doma otaca njihovijeh.
4 And you shall place these in the tabernacle of the covenant before the testimony, where I will speak to you.
I ostavi ih u šatoru od sastanka pred svjedoèanstvom, gdje se sastajem s vama.
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.”
I koga izaberem, njegova æe palica procvjetati; tako æu utišati pred sobom viku sinova Izrailjevijeh što vièu na vas.
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.
Kad to reèe Mojsije sinovima Izrailjevijem, dadoše mu svi knezovi njihovi palice, svaki knez po palicu od doma oca svojega, dvanaest palica, i palica Aronova bješe meðu palicama njihovijem.
7 And when Moses had placed these before the Lord, in the tabernacle of the testimony,
I ostavi Mojsije palice pred Gospodom u šatoru od svjedoèanstva.
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.
A sjutradan doðe Mojsije u šator od svjedoèanstva, i gle, procvjetala palica Aronova od doma Levijeva; bješe napupila i cvjetala, i bademi zreli na njoj.
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.
I iznese Mojsije sve one palice ispred Gospoda k svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem, i razgledavši ih uzeše svaki svoju palicu.
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.”
A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: donesi opet palicu Aronovu pred svjedoèanstvo da se èuva za znak nepokornima, da prestane vika njihova na me, da ne izginu.
11 And Moses did just as the Lord had instructed.
I uèini Mojsije, kako mu zapovjedi Gospod tako uèini.
12 Then the sons of Israel said to Moses: “Behold, we have been consumed; we have been ruined.
Tada rekoše sinovi Izrailjevi Mojsiju govoreæi: pomrijesmo, propadosmo, svi propadosmo.
13 Whoever approaches to the tabernacle of the Lord dies. Will we all be wiped away, even to total annihilation?”
Ko se god približi k šatoru Gospodnjemu, gine; hoæemo li svi izginuti?
