Numbers 17

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Jahve reče Mojsiju:

2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and take of euery one of them a rod, after the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the familie of their fathers, euen twelue rods: and thou shalt write euery mans name vpon 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 write Aarons name vpon the rod of Leui: for euery rodde shalbe for the head of the house of their fathers.

A kako ima po jedan štap za svakoga starješinu pradjedovskih domova, Aronovo ime napiši na Levijevu štapu.

4 And thou shalt put them in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before the Arke of the Testimonie, where I wil declare my selfe to you.

Onda ih pohrani u Šator sastanka pred Svjedočanstvo; ondje gdje se s tobom sastajem.

5 And the mans rod, whome I chuse, shall blossome: and I will make cease from mee the grudgings of the children of Israel, which grudge against you.

Štap onoga čovjeka koga izaberem propupat će. Tako ću maknuti od sebe rogoborenje Izraelaca kojim prigovaraju vama.”

6 Then Moses spake vnto the children of Israel, and al their princes gaue him a rod, one rod for euery Prince, according to the houses of their fathers, euen twelue rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their roddes.

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 layde the rods before the Lord in the Tabernacle of the Testimonie.

Mojsije pohrani štapove pred Jahvu u Šatoru svjedočanstva.

8 And when Moses on the morow went into the Tabernacle of the Testimonie, beholde, the rod of Aaron for the house of Leui was budded, and brought forth buddes, and brought forth blossoms, and bare ripe almondes.

Kad sutradan Mojsije uđe u Šator svjedočanstva, gle: štap Arona iz doma Levijeva propupao! Potjerala mladica, procvjetao cvijet i sazreli bademi.

9 Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord vnto all the children of Israel: and they looked vpon them, and tooke euery man his rodde.

Tada iznese Mojsije ispred Jahve sve štapove sinovima Izraelovim. Oni ih razgledaše, a onda svatko uze svoj štap.

10 After, the Lord said vnto Moses, Bring Aarons rod againe before the Testimonie to bee kept for a token to the rebellious children, and thou shalt cause their murmurings to cease from me, that they dye not.

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 So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him: so did he.

I učini Mojsije: kako mu je Jahve zapovjedio, tako učini.

12 And the children of Israel spake vnto Moses, saying, Behold, we are dead, we perish, we are all lost:

“Izgibosmo!” - rekoše Izraelci Mojsiju. “Propadosmo! Svi odreda propadosmo!

13 Whosoeuer commeth neere, or approcheth to the Tabernacle of the Lord, shall dye: shall we be consumed and dye?

Tko god priđe Jahvinu prebivalištu, umire ... Zar ćemo svi izginuti?”
