Brojevi 17
1 Potom reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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 children of Israel, and take rods from them, one for each fathers’ house, of all their princes according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods. Write each man’s name on his rod.
3 A na palici Levijevoj napiši ime Aronovo, jer je svaka palica za jednog poglavara od doma otaca njihovijeh.
You shall write Aaron’s name on Levi’s rod. There shall be one rod for each head of their fathers’ houses.
4 I ostavi ih u šatoru od sastanka pred svjedoèanstvom, gdje se sastajem s vama.
You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the covenant, 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.
It shall happen that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud. I will make the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you, cease from me.”
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.
Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, a total of twelve rods. Aaron’s rod was amongst their rods.
7 I ostavi Mojsije palice pred Gospodom u šatoru od svjedoèanstva.
Moses laid up the rods 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.
On the next day, Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony; and behold, Aaron’s rod for the house of Levi had sprouted, budded, produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
9 I iznese Mojsije sve one palice ispred Gospoda k svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem, i razgledavši ih uzeše svaki svoju palicu.
Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel. They looked, and each man took his rod.
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 back the rod of Aaron before the covenant, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may make an end of their complaining against me, that they not die.”
11 I uèini Mojsije, kako mu zapovjedi Gospod tako uèini.
Moses did so. As the LORD commanded him, so he did.
12 Tada rekoše sinovi Izrailjevi Mojsiju govoreæi: pomrijesmo, propadosmo, svi propadosmo.
The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “Behold, we perish! We are undone! We are all undone!
13 Ko se god približi k šatoru Gospodnjemu, gine; hoæemo li svi izginuti?
Everyone who keeps approaching the LORD’s tabernacle, dies! Will we all perish?”
