Numbers 17
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Jahve reče Mojsiju:
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and take a rod from each of them, for a father’s house, from all their princes, for the house of their fathers—twelve rods; you write the name of each on his rod,
“Razloži Izraelcima te od njih uzmi po jedan štap za svaki predjedovski dom; uzmi od svih njihovih starješina za njihove pradjedovske domove dvanaest štapova. Ime svakoga napiši na njegovu štapu.
3 and you write Aaron’s name on the tribe of Levi; for one rod [is] for the head of their fathers’ house.
A kako ima po jedan štap za svakoga starješinu pradjedovskih domova, Aronovo ime napiši na Levijevu štapu.
4 And you have placed them in the Tent of Meeting before the Testimony, where I meet with you.
Onda ih pohrani u Šator sastanka pred Svjedočanstvo; ondje gdje se s tobom sastajem.
5 And it has come to pass, the man’s rod on whom I fix flourishes, and I have caused the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against you, to cease from off Me.”
Štap onoga čovjeka koga izaberem propupat će. Tako ću maknuti od sebe rogoborenje Izraelaca kojim prigovaraju vama.”
6 And Moses speaks to the sons of Israel, and all their princes give to him one rod for a prince, one rod for a prince, for their fathers’ house—twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron [is] in the midst of their rods;
Mojsije tako kaza Izraelcima. Sve njihove starješine dadoše mu štap, po jedan štap za svakoga starješinu - dakle, dvanaest štapova za njihove pradjedovske domove. Među njihovim štapovima bio je i štap Aronov.
7 and Moses places the rods before YHWH in the Tent of the Testimony.
Mojsije pohrani štapove pred Jahvu u Šatoru svjedočanstva.
8 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that Moses goes into the Tent of the Testimony, and behold, the rod of Aaron has flourished for the house of Levi, and brings out a bud, and blossoms [with] a blossom, and produces almonds;
Kad sutradan Mojsije uđe u Šator svjedočanstva, gle: štap Arona iz doma Levijeva propupao! Potjerala mladica, procvjetao cvijet i sazreli bademi.
9 and Moses brings out all the rods from before YHWH to all the sons of Israel, and they look, and each takes his rod.
Tada iznese Mojsije ispred Jahve sve štapove sinovima Izraelovim. Oni ih razgledaše, a onda svatko uze svoj štap.
10 And YHWH says to Moses, “Put back the rod of Aaron before the Testimony, for a charge, for a sign to the sons of rebellion, and you remove their murmurings from off Me, and they do not die”;
Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Opet stavi Aronov štap pred Svjedočanstvo, neka se čuva za znak buntovnim sinovima. Dokončaj tako njihovo rogoborenje protiv mene da ne izginu.”
11 and Moses does as YHWH has commanded him; so he has done.
I učini Mojsije: kako mu je Jahve zapovjedio, tako učini.
12 And the sons of Israel speak to Moses, saying, “Behold, we have expired, we have perished, all of us have perished!
“Izgibosmo!” - rekoše Izraelci Mojsiju. “Propadosmo! Svi odreda propadosmo!
13 Any who is at all drawing near to the Dwelling Place of YHWH dies; have we not been consumed—to expire?”
Tko god priđe Jahvinu prebivalištu, umire ... Zar ćemo svi izginuti?”
