Numeri 16
1 Kora mwana wa Izihari, mwana wa Kohati, mwana wa Levi ndi Datani ndi Abiramu ana a Eliabu, pamodzi ndi Oni mwana wa Perezi, ana a Rubeni, anayamba kudzikuza,
Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
2 ndipo anawukira Mose. Mʼgulu mwawo munali atsogoleri a Aisraeli 250, anthu otchuka amene anasankhidwa ndi anthu pa msonkhano.
And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:
3 Iwo anasonkhana kudzatsutsana ndi Mose ndi Aaroni nawawuza kuti, “Mwawonjeza! Anthu onsewa ndi oyera, aliyense wa iwo, ndipo Yehova ali pakati pawo. Chifukwa chiyani mukudzikuza pakati pa gulu lonse la Yehova?”
And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and YHWH is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of YHWH?
4 Mose atamva izi, anagwa chafufumimba.
And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
5 Ndipo iye anawuza Kora ndi anthu onse amene ankamutsatira kuti, “Yehova mawa mmawa adzasonyeza yemwe ndi wake ndiponso amene ndi woyera mtima. Munthuyo adzabwera pafupi ndi Iye. Munthu amene adzamusankheyo adzamusendeza pafupi.
And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow YHWH will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
6 Iwe Kora pamodzi ndi onse amene akukutsatira chitani izi: Tengani zofukizira
This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
7 ndipo mawa muyikemo moto ndi lubani pamaso pa Yehova. Munthu amene Yehova amusankhe ndiye amene ali woyera. Alevi inu mwawonjeza kwambiri!”
And put fire therein, and put incense in them before YHWH to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom YHWH doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
8 Mose anawuzanso Kora kuti, “Inu Alevi, tsopano tamverani!
And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
9 Kodi sizinakukwanireni kuti Mulungu wa Israeli anakupatulani pakati pa gulu lonse la Aisraeli ndi kukubweretsani pafupi ndi Iye, kuti muzigwira ntchito ku nyumba ya Yehova ndi kumayima pamaso pa gulu, kumatumikira?
Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the Elohim of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of YHWH, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
10 Wakubweretsa iwe pamodzi ndi Alevi anzako kufupi ndi Iye mwini. Koma tsopano ukufuna kutenganso unsembe.
And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
11 Nʼkulakwira Yehova kuti iwe ndi gulu lako lonseli mwasonkhana kuti mutsutsane ndi Yehova. Kodi Aaroni ndani kuti muzikangana naye?”
For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against YHWH: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
12 Kenaka Mose anayitana Datani ndi Abiramu, ana aamuna a Eliabu koma iwo anati, “Sitibwera!
And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
13 Kodi sikukwanira kuti unatitulutsa, kutichotsa mʼdziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi kuti udzatiphe mʼchipululu muno? Kodi tsopano ukufunanso kutilemetsa?
Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?
14 Kuwonjezera apo, sunatilowetse mʼdziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi kapena kutipatsa malo wolima ndi minda ya mpesa. Kodi ukufuna kuchotsa maso a anthuwa? Ayi, sitibwera!”
Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
15 Pamenepo Mose anakwiya kwambiri ndipo anati kwa Yehova, “Musalandire chopereka chawo. Sindinatenge kalikonse kwa iwo ngakhale bulu, ndiponso sindinalakwire wina aliyense wa iwo.”
And Moses was very wroth, and said unto YHWH, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
16 Mose anati kwa Kora, “Iwe ndi okutsatira onse mudzaonekere pamaso pa Yehova mawa, iweyo ndi iwowo pamodzi ndi Aaroni.
And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before YHWH, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
17 Munthu aliyense akatenge chofukizira ndi kuyikamo lubani, zofukizira 250 zonse pamodzi ndi kuzibweretsa pamaso pa Yehova. Iwe ndi Aaroni mudzabweretsenso zofukizira zanu.”
And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before YHWH every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
18 Choncho munthu aliyense anatenga chofukizira chake nayikamo moto ndi lubani, ndipo anayima pamodzi ndi Mose ndi Aaroni pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.
19 Kora atasonkhanitsa omutsatira ake onse amene amatsutsa nawo pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano, ulemerero wa Yehova unaonekera kwa gulu lonselo.
And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of YHWH appeared unto all the congregation.
20 Yehova anawuza Mose ndi Aaroni kuti,
And YHWH spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 “Chokani pakati pa gulu ili kuti ndithetse mkanganowu kamodzinʼkamodzi.”
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
22 Koma Mose ndi Aaroni anadzigwetsa chafufumimba ndipo analira mokweza, “Chonde Mulungu, Mulungu wa mizimu ya anthu onse, kodi mudzakwiyira gulu lonse pamene munthu mmodzi yekha ndiye amene wachimwa?”
And they fell upon their faces, and said, O Elohim, the El of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
23 Pamenepo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
24 “Uza gulu lonse kuti, ‘Khalani kutali ndi matenti a Kora, Datani ndi Abiramu.’”
Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25 Mose anayimirira napita kwa Datani, Abiramu ndi kwa akuluakulu a Israeli amene ankamutsatira.
And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 Anachenjeza gulu lonse kuti, “Khalani kutali ndi matenti a anthu oyipawa! Musakhudze kanthu kawo kalikonse, mukatero mudzawonongedwa limodzi nawo chifukwa cha machimo awo.”
And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
27 Choncho anthuwo anachokadi ku matenti a Kora, Datani ndi Abiramu. Datani ndi Abiramu anali atatuluka nayima pamodzi ndi akazi awo, ana awo ndi makanda awo pa makomo a matenti awo.
So they got up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
28 Tsono Mose anati, “Umu ndi mmene mudzadziwire kuti Yehova ndiye amene anandituma kuti ndichite zinthu zonsezi ndipo kuti si maganizo anga.
And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that YHWH hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
29 Ngati anthu awa afa ndi imfa ya chilengedwe ndi kuwachitikira zomwe zimachitikira munthu aliyense, ndiye kuti Yehova sananditume.
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then YHWH hath not sent me.
30 Koma Yehova akachita china chake chachilendo, nthaka nitsekula pakamwa pake ndi kuwameza iwo pamodzi ndi zonse zimene ali nazo, iwowa nʼkulowa mʼmanda ali moyo, pamenepo mudzazindikira kuti anthu amenewa ananyoza Yehova.” (Sheol h7585)
But if YHWH make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked YHWH. (Sheol h7585)
31 Atangotsiriza kuyankhula zimenezi, nthaka ya pamene anayimapo inagawikana
And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
32 ndipo dziko linatsekula pakamwa pake ndi kuwameza pamodzi ndi nyumba zawo ndi anthu onse a Kora ndi katundu wawo yense.
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
33 Analowa mʼmanda amoyo pamodzi ndi zonse zimene anali nazo. Nthaka inawatsekera ndi kuwawononga ndipo sanaonekenso. (Sheol h7585)
They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. (Sheol h7585)
34 Atamva kulira kwawo, Aisraeli onse amene anali pafupi ndi anthuwo anathawa akufuwula kuti, “Nthaka imezanso ife!”
And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
35 Ndipo moto wochokera kwa Yehova unabwera nʼkunyeketsa anthu 250 amene ankapereka nsembe yofukiza aja.
And there came out a fire from YHWH, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
36 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
37 “Uza Eliezara mwana wa Aaroni, wansembe kuti atenge zofukizirazo pakati pa mitembo yopsererayo ndipo amwazire makalawo kutali chifukwa zofukizirazo nʼzopatulika.
Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.
38 Izi ndi zofukizira za anthu omwe anafa chifukwa cha uchimo wawo. Musule zofukizirazo kuti zikhale zophimbira pa guwa lansembe, chifukwa zinaperekedwa kwa Yehova ndipo ndi zopatulika. Zimenezi zikhale chizindikiro kwa Aisraeli.”
The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before YHWH, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
39 Choncho Eliezara, wansembe, anasonkhanitsa zofukizira zamkuwa zija zomwe anthu opsererawo anabwera nazo ndipo anazisula kuti zikhale zophimbira pa guwa lansembe,
And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:
40 monga momwe Yehova anamulangizira kudzera mwa Mose. Chimenechi chinali chikumbutso kwa Aisraeli kuti munthu wina aliyense, kupatula zidzukulu za Aaroni, sayenera kupsereza lubani pamaso pa Yehova, kuopa kuti munthu woteroyo angakhale ngati Kora ndi omutsatira ake.
To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before YHWH; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as YHWH said to him by the hand of Moses.
41 Tsiku lotsatira, gulu lonse la Aisraeli linatsutsana ndi Mose ndi Aaroni. Iwo anati, “Inu mwapha anthu a Yehova.”
But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of YHWH.
42 Koma pamene anthuwo anasonkhana kuti atsutsane ndi Mose ndi Aaroni, atatembenuka kuyangʼana ku tenti ya msonkhano, mwadzidzidzi mtambo unaphimba tentiyo ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unaonekera.
And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of YHWH appeared.
43 Pamenepo Mose ndi Aaroni anapita patsogolo pa tenti ya msonkhano ija
And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
44 ndipo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
45 “Chokani pakati pa gulu la anthuwa kuti ndiwawononge kamodzinʼkamodzi.” Ndipo iwo anagwa pansi chafufumimba.
Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
46 Kenaka Mose anawuza Aaroni kuti, “Tenga chofukizira chako ndipo ikamo lubani pamodzi ndi moto wochokera pa guwa lansembe, fulumira, pita pa gulu la anthuwo ndipo ukachite nsembe yopepesera machimo awo popeza mkwiyo wa Yehova wafika, mliri wayamba.”
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from YHWH; the plague is begun.
47 Ndipo Aaroni anachita monga ananenera Mose, nathamangira mʼkatikati mwa gulu la anthuwo. Pamenepo nʼkuti mliri utayamba kale pakati pa anthu aja ndipo Aaroni anafukiza lubani ndi kupereka nsembe yopepesera machimo awo.
And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
48 Iye anayimirira pakati pa anthu amoyo ndi akufa ndipo mliri unaleka.
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49 Komabe anthu 14, 700 anafa ndi mliriwo, kuwonjezera pa aja amene anafa chifukwa cha Kora.
Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
50 Ndipo Aaroni anabwerera kwa Mose ku khomo la tenti ya msonkhano, chifukwa mliriwo unali utatha.
And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
