民數記 17
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1耶和華對 摩西 說：
1(17-16) And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2「你曉諭 以色列 人，從他們手下取杖，每支派一根；從他們所有的首領，按着支派，共取十二根。你要將各人的名字寫在各人的杖上，
2(17-17) 'Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods; thou shalt write every man's name upon his rod.
3並要將 亞倫 的名字寫在 利未 的杖上，因為各族長必有一根杖。
3(17-18) And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi, for there shall be one rod for the head of their fathers' houses.
4你要把這些杖存在會幕內法 櫃 前，就是我與你們相會之處。
4(17-19) And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
5後來我所揀選的那人，他的杖必發芽。這樣，我必使 以色列 人向你們所發的怨言止息，不再達到我耳中。」
5(17-20) And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall bud; and I will make to cease from Me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.'
6於是 摩西 曉諭 以色列 人，他們的首領就把杖交給他，按着支派，每首領一根，共有十二根； 亞倫 的杖也在其中。
6(17-21) And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
7摩西 就把杖存在法 櫃 的帳幕內，在耶和華面前。
7(17-22) And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.
8第二天， 摩西 進法 櫃 的帳幕去。誰知 利未 族 亞倫 的杖已經發了芽，生了花苞，開了花，結了熟杏。
8(17-23) And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
9摩西 就把所有的杖從耶和華面前拿出來，給 以色列 眾人看；他們看見了，各首領就把自己的杖拿去。
9(17-24) And 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.
10耶和華吩咐 摩西 說：「把 亞倫 的杖還放在法 櫃 前，給這些背叛之子留作記號。這樣，你就使他們向我發的怨言止息，免得他們死亡。」
10(17-25) And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept there, for a token against the rebellious children; that there may be made an end of their murmurings against Me, that they die not.'
11摩西 就這樣行。耶和華怎樣吩咐他，他就怎樣行了。
11(17-26) Thus did Moses; as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
12以色列 人對 摩西 說：「我們死啦！我們滅亡啦！都滅亡啦！
12(17-27) And the children of Israel spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
13凡挨近耶和華帳幕的是必死的。我們都要死亡嗎？」
13(17-28) Every one that cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of the LORD, is to die; shall we wholly perish?'
