¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹GOSPOD je govoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

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.

²Govori sinovom Izraelovim in vzemi od njih palice, eno za vsako očetovsko hišo, od vseh njih knezov po hišah njih očetov, torej dvanajst palic, in vsakega ime zapiši na palico njegovo.

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.

³Ime Aronovo pa zapiši na palico Levijevo; zakaj ena palica bode za vsakega, ki je glava v očetovski hiši.

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

⁴In položi jih v shodni šator pred pričevanje, kjer se shajam z vami.

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.

⁵In zgodi se, da njemu, kogar si izvolim, razcvete palica; tako utolažim in zvalim od sebe mrmranje sinov Izraelovih, s katerim mrmrajo zoper vaju.

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.

⁶In Mojzes govori to sinovom Izraelovim, in vsi njih knezi mu izroče palice, za vsakega kneza eno, po njih očetovskih hišah, dvanajst palic, tudi Aronova palica je bila med njimi.

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

⁷Mojzes pa položi te palice pred GOSPODA v šator pričevanja.

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.

⁸In drugi dan pride Mojzes v šator pričevanja, in glej: palica Aronova za hišo Levijevo je bila v cvetu: pognala je brstje in cvetje in rodila zrele mandlje.

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.

⁹In prinese Mojzes vse palice izpred GOSPODA vsem sinovom Izraelovim, in so jih videli in vsak je prejel palico svojo.

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.

¹⁰GOSPOD pa reče Mojzesu: Palico Aronovo nesi nazaj pred pričevanje, da se ohrani v znamenje za te uporne otroke; da napraviš konec njih mrmranju pred menoj, da ne umrjejo.

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

¹¹Mojzes stori tako; kakor mu je GOSPOD zapovedal, tako stori.

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

¹²In sinovi Izraelovi ogovore Mojzesa, rekoč: Glej, mrjemo in ginemo, da, mi vsi poginemo!Kdorkoli se približa, kdor pristopi k prebivališču GOSPODOVEMU, umrje. Je li torej nam vsem poginiti?

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

¹³Kdorkoli se približa, kdor pristopi k prebivališču GOSPODOVEMU, umrje. Je li torej nam vsem poginiti?
