Numbers 17
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Jahve reče Mojsiju:
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write every man's name 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 You shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.
A kako ima po jedan štap za svakoga starješinu pradjedovskih domova, Aronovo ime napiši na Levijevu štapu.
4 You shall lay them up 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 It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you."
Štap onoga čovjeka koga izaberem propupat će. Tako ću maknuti od sebe rogoborenje Izraelaca kojim prigovaraju vama.”
6 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their leaders gave him rods, one for each leader, according to their ancestral houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among 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 Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.
Mojsije pohrani štapove pred Jahvu u Šatoru svjedočanstva.
8 It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and look, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
Kad sutradan Mojsije uđe u Šator svjedočanstva, gle: štap Arona iz doma Levijeva propupao! Potjerala mladica, procvjetao cvijet i sazreli bademi.
9 Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
Tada iznese Mojsije ispred Jahve sve štapove sinovima Izraelovim. Oni ih razgledaše, a onda svatko uze svoj štap.
10 The LORD said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; that you may make an end of their murmurings against me, that they 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 Moses did so. As the LORD commanded him, so he did.
I učini Mojsije: kako mu je Jahve zapovjedio, tako učini.
12 The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, "Look, we perish. We are undone. We are all undone.
“Izgibosmo!” - rekoše Izraelci Mojsiju. “Propadosmo! Svi odreda propadosmo!
13 Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD, dies. Will we all perish?"
Tko god priđe Jahvinu prebivalištu, umire ... Zar ćemo svi izginuti?”
