Brojevi 17
1 Potom reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
And the LORD said to Moses,
2 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.
“Speak to the Israelites and take from them twelve staffs, one from the leader of each tribe. Write each man’s name on his staff,
3 A na palici Levijevoj napiši ime Aronovo, jer je svaka palica za jednog poglavara od doma otaca njihovijeh.
and write Aaron’s name on the staff of Levi, because there must be one staff for the head of each tribe.
4 I ostavi ih u šatoru od sastanka pred svjedoèanstvom, gdje se sastajem s vama.
Place the staffs in the Tent of Meeting in front of the Testimony, where I meet with you.
5 I koga izaberem, njegova æe palica procvjetati; tako æu utišati pred sobom viku sinova Izrailjevijeh što vièu na vas.
The staff belonging to the man I choose will sprout, and I will rid Myself of the constant grumbling of the Israelites against you.”
6 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.
So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff—one for each of the leaders of their tribes, twelve staffs in all. And Aaron’s staff was among them.
7 I ostavi Mojsije palice pred Gospodom u šatoru od svjedoèanstva.
Then Moses placed the staffs before the LORD in the Tent of the Testimony.
8 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.
The next day Moses entered the Tent of the Testimony and saw that Aaron’s staff, representing the house of Levi, had sprouted, put forth buds, blossomed, and produced almonds.
9 I iznese Mojsije sve one palice ispred Gospoda k svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem, i razgledavši ih uzeše svaki svoju palicu.
Then Moses brought out all the staffs from the LORD’s presence to all the Israelites. They saw them, and each man took his own staff.
10 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Put Aaron’s staff back in front of the Testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebellious, so that you may put an end to their grumbling against Me, lest they die.”
11 I uèini Mojsije, kako mu zapovjedi Gospod tako uèini.
So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him.
12 Tada rekoše sinovi Izrailjevi Mojsiju govoreæi: pomrijesmo, propadosmo, svi propadosmo.
Then the Israelites declared to Moses, “Look, we are perishing! We are lost; we are all lost!
13 Ko se god približi k šatoru Gospodnjemu, gine; hoæemo li svi izginuti?
Anyone who comes near the tabernacle of the LORD will die. Are we all going to perish?”
