¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

²Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.

²Hovor synom Izraelovým a vezmi od nich po jednej palici na každý dom otca, od všetkých ich kniežat, podľa domu ich otcov, dvanásť palíc. Každého meno napíšeš na jeho palicu.

³And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.

³A meno Áronovo napíšeš na palicu Léviho, lebo vše jedna palica bude za hlavu domu ich otcov.

⁴And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.

⁴Složíš ich v stáne shromaždenia pred svedoctvom, kam prichádzavam k vám.

⁵And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.

⁵A stane sa, že toho muža, ktorého si vyvolím, toho palica zakvitne, a tak upokojím a shodím so seba reptania synov Izraelových, ktorými repcú proti vám.

⁶And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

⁶Tak hovoril Mojžiš synom Izraelovým, a dali k nemu všetky ich kniežatá svoje palice, vše za jedno knieža jedna palica, podľa domu svojich otcov, dvanásť palíc, a palica Áronova bola medzi ich palicami.

⁷And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.

⁷A Mojžiš složil palice pred Hospodinom v stáne svedoctva.

⁸And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.

⁸A stalo sa na druhý deň, že Mojžiš vošiel do stánu svedoctva, a hľa, palica Áronova vzpučala, za dom Léviho, a vydajúc puky zakvitla a vydala zrelé mandle.

⁹And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.

⁹A Mojžiš vyniesol všetky palice zpred Hospodina ku všetkým synom Izraelovým. A videli a vzali každý svoju palicu.

¹⁰And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.

¹⁰Potom riekol Hospodin Mojžišovi: Vráť palicu Áronovu pred svedoctvo, aby sa opatrovala na znamenie pre synov vzbúry, a učiníš koniec ich reptaniu proti mne, aby nepomreli.

¹¹And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.

¹¹A Mojžiš učinil tak, ako mu prikázal Hospodin, tak učinil.

¹²And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.

¹²A synovia Izraelovi vraveli Mojžišovi: Hľa, mrieme, hynieme, všetci hynieme.

¹³Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?

¹³Každý, kto sa priblíži, kto sa priblíži príbytku Hospodinovmu, zomrie. Či len všetci, až do posledného pomrieme?
