Numbers 17

1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

Potom reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:

2 Speak unto the sons of Israel and take of them one staff each for an ancestral house of all their princes, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves, —each man’s name, shalt thou write upon his staff;

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.

3 and, Aaron’s name, shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi, —for, one staff, shall there be for the head of their ancestral house.

A na palici Levijevoj napiši ime Aronovo, jer je svaka palica za jednog poglavara od doma otaca njihovijeh.

4 Then shalt thou lay them up in the tent of meeting, —before the testimony, where I meet with you.

I ostavi ih u šatoru od sastanka pred svjedoèanstvom, gdje se sastajem s vama.

5 So shall it come to pass, that, the man whom I shall choose, his staff, shall bud, —so will I cause to cease from against me the murmurings of the sons of Israel, wherewith they, are murmuring against you.

I koga izaberem, njegova æe palica procvjetati; tako æu utišati pred sobom viku sinova Izrailjevijeh što vièu na vas.

6 And Moses spake unto the sons of Israel and every one of their princes gave unto him, a staff apiece, for each prince, by their ancestral houses, twelve staves, —and the staff of Aaron, was in the midst of their staves.

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.

7 So Moses laid up the staves before Yahweh, —in the tent of the testimony.

I ostavi Mojsije palice pred Gospodom u šatoru od svjedoèanstva.

8 And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses entered into the tent of the testimony; and lo! the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi, had budded, —yea it had brought forth buds and bloomed blossoms, and borne ripe almonds.

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.

9 So then Moses brought forth all the staves, from before Yahweh, unto all the sons of Israel, —and they saw and took, each man his own staff.

I iznese Mojsije sve one palice ispred Gospoda k svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem, i razgledavši ih uzeše svaki svoju palicu.

10 And Yahweh said unto Moses—Put back the rod of Aaron, before the testimony, to be kept as a sign unto such as are perverse, —that thou mayest bring to an end their murmurings against me that they die not.

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.

11 Thus did Moses, —as Yahweh commanded him, so, did he.

I uèini Mojsije, kako mu zapovjedi Gospod tako uèini.

12 Then spake the sons of Israel unto Moses saying: Lo! we have breathed our last—we are lost, we are, all, lost:

Tada rekoše sinovi Izrailjevi Mojsiju govoreæi: pomrijesmo, propadosmo, svi propadosmo.

13 whosoever draweth near—draweth near—unto the habitation of Yahweh, dieth, —are we ever to have made an end of breathing our last?

Ko se god približi k šatoru Gospodnjemu, gine; hoæemo li svi izginuti?
