Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
1耶和華對 摩西 說：
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.
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，
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.
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。
4And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
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。
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.
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。」
6¶ And 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.
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。
7And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
7摩西 就把杖存在法 櫃 的帳幕內，在耶和華面前。
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.
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。
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.
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。
10¶ And 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.
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。」
11And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
11摩西 就這樣行。耶和華怎樣吩咐他，他就怎樣行了。
12And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
12以色列 人對 摩西 說：「我們死啦！我們滅亡啦！都滅亡啦！
13Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
13凡挨近耶和華帳幕的是必死的。我們都要死亡嗎？」
