Nambar 16
1 Levi acaeng Kohath capa Izhar, Izhar capa Korah loe, Reuben acaeng Paleth capa On, On capa Eliab, Eliab capa hnik Dathan hoi Abiram cae to kawk moe,
Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took some men.
2 amkhueng kaminawk thungah minawk mah panoek ih kami, ahmin kamthang kami, amkhuenghaih ukkung Israel kami cumvai hnet, qui pangato hoi nawnto Mosi to hmang o;
They rose up before Moses, with some of the children of Israel, two hundred fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown.
3 nihcae loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, Mosi hoi Aaron ih lok to aek o, nihnik khaeah, Kamtlai hmoek ah tok na sak hoi; amkhueng kaminawk loe ciimcai o; Angraeng loe, kami boih nuiah oh bae, tiah a naa o.
They assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, “You take too much on yourself, since all the congregation are holy, everyone of them, and Yahweh is among them! Why do you lift yourselves up above Yahweh’s assembly?”
4 Nihcae ih lok Mosi mah thaih naah a mikhmai long ah akuep;
When Moses heard it, he fell on his face.
5 to pacoengah Mosi mah, Korah hoi a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng ih kami loe mi maw, mi maw ciimcai, angmah khaeah angzohsak han ih kami loe mi maw, tito khawnbang ah amtuengsak tih; a qoih ih kami doeh angmah taengah amtuengsak tih.
He said to Korah and to all his company, “In the morning, Yahweh will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him. Even him whom he shall choose, he will cause to come near to him.
6 Nang, Korah hoi na hnukbang kaminawk boih hae hae sah oh; sabae to la o ah loe,
Do this: have Korah and all his company take censers,
7 khawnbang ah Angraeng hmaa ah, sabae thungah hmuihoih hmai thlaekhaih to sah oh; to naah Angraeng mah qoih ih kami loe ciimcai kami ah om tih; nangcae Levi kaminawk loe kamtlai hmoek ah na sak o boeh, tiah a naa.
put fire in them, and put incense on them before Yahweh tomorrow. It shall be that the man whom Yahweh chooses, he shall be holy. You have gone too far, you sons of Levi!”
8 Mosi mah Korah khaeah, Nangcae Levi kaminawk, tahngai oh;
Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi!
9 nangcae loe Angraeng ih kahni imthung ah toksak moe, kaminawk hma ah angdoet pacoengah, nihcae ih tok to sak hanah, nangcae to Israel Sithaw mah a taengah kawk boeh, Israel kaminawk thung hoi pahoe ih hmuen loe, nangcae han tetta hmuen ah maw oh?
Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of Yahweh’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;
10 Nangmah hoi nam nawkamya Levi ih caanawk boih, angmah hoi kanghnai ah suek boeh to mah, nangcae mah qaima ah oh han ih na pakrong o vop maw?
and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? Do you seek the priesthood also?
11 To pongah nangmah hoi na hnukbang kaminawk boih nawnto nam khueng o moe, Angraeng ih lok to na aek o; Aaron loe kawbaktih kami ah maw oh moe, na laisaep o thuih? tiah a naa.
Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against Yahweh! What is Aaron that you complain against him?”
12 To pacoengah Mosi mah Eliab capa hnik Dathan hoi Abiram to kawk; toe nihnik mah, Kang zo hoi mak ai,
Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, “We won’t come up!
13 nang mah ni praezaek ah kaicae dueksak hanah, tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae thung hoiah nang tacawt haih, to hmuen loe tetta ah maw oh moe, vaihi kaicae nuiah angraeng ah oh han na koeh vop?
Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must also make yourself a prince over us?
14 Toe tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae ah kaicae nang caeh haih ai, lawk hoi misur takhanawk doeh qawk ah nang paek ai; hae kaminawk ih mik to na taprok pae han maw? Kaihnik loe nang khaeah kang zo hoi mak ai, tiah a naa hoi.
Moreover you haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We won’t come up.”
15 To naah Mosi loe paroeai palungphui moe, Angraeng khaeah, nihnik mah paek ih hmuen to talawk pae hmah; nihnik khae ih laa hrang maeto doeh ka la pae ai, nihcae han nganbawh kana doeh ka paek vai ai, tiah a naa.
Moses was very angry, and said to Yahweh, “Don’t respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.”
16 Mosi mah Korah khaeah, Aaron, nangmah hoi na hnukbang kaminawk boih, khawnbang ah Angraeng hmaa ah angphong oh;
Moses said to Korah, “You and all your company go before Yahweh, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow.
17 kami boih mah hmuihoih thlaekhaih sabae to sin oh, a thungah hmuihoih to suem oh; nangcae boih mah hmuihoih thlaekhaih sabae cumvai hnet, qui pangato Angraeng hmaa ah sin oh; nang hoi Aaron mah doeh hmuihoih sabae to sin hoi toeng ah, tiah a naa.
Each man take his censer and put incense on it, and each man bring before Yahweh his censer, two hundred fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each with his censer.”
18 To pongah kami boih mah angmah ih hmuihoih sabae to sin o moe, hmuihoih to hmai hoiah thlaek o pacoengah, Mosi, Aaron hoi nawnto kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah angdoet o boih.
They each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.
19 Korah mah doeh Mosi hoi Aaron ohhaih ahmuen maeto bang ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih thok taengah, angmah hnukbang kaminawk to amkhuengsak toeng; to naah Angraeng lensawkhaih kaminawk boih khaeah amtueng.
Korah assembled all the congregation opposite them to the door of the Tent of Meeting. Yahweh’s glory appeared to all the congregation.
20 Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
21 Atue setta thungah hae kaminawk hae ka hum boih han boeh pongah, hae kaminawk salak hoiah amhoe hoi ah, tiah a naa.
“Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!”
22 Toe Mosi hoi Aaron loe long ah akuep hoi moe, Aw Sithaw, kaminawk boih ih pakhra ukkung Sithaw, kami maeto zaehaih pongah, acaeng kaminawk boih nuiah palung na phui han maw? tiah a naa hoi.
They fell on their faces, and said, “God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?”
23 To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
24 Korah, Dathan hoi Abiram ih kahni im hoi kamhoe ah oh hanah kaminawk to lokthui paeh, tiah a naa.
“Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram!’”
25 Mosi loe angthawk moe, Israel kami kacoehtanawk hoi nawnto Dathan hoi Abiram khaeah caeh.
Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 Kaminawk khaeah, Hae ah kaom kasae kaminawk ih kahni im hoi kamhoe ah om oh; nihcae ih hmuen tita doeh sui o hmah; to tih ai nahaeloe nangcae doeh nihcae zaehaih pongah nam ro o moeng tih, tiah a thuih pae.
He spoke to the congregation, saying, “Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins!”
27 Kaminawk loe Korah, Dathan hoi Abiram cae ih kahni imthung hoiah tacawt o boih boeh pongah, Korah, Dathan hoi Abiram loe a zunawk, a capanawk, a caa nawktanawk hoi nawnto angmacae ohhaih im thok taengah angdoet o.
So they went away from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents with their wives, their sons, and their little ones.
28 To naah Mosi mah, Hae ah kaom hmuennawk loe kaimah koeh ah sak ih na ai ni; Angraeng mah sak han ang patoeh pongah ni ka sak.
Moses said, “Hereby you shall know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works; for they are not from my own mind.
29 Kaminawk boih mah tong ih duekhaih hoi thuitaekhaih to hae kaminawk mah tong o nahaeloe, Angraeng mah kai hae patoeh ai, tito panoek oh.
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they experience what all men experience, then Yahweh hasn’t sent me.
30 Toe Angraeng mah hmuen kangtha to sah moe, long to akah rak pacoengah, hae kaminawk hoi nihcae ih ampuinawk to paaeh moe, kahing ah tangqom thungah caeh o nahaeloe, hae kaminawk mah Angraeng to khet patoek o, tito na panoek o tih, tiah a naa. (Sheol h7585)
But if Yahweh makes a new thing, and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows them up with all that belong to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall understand that these men have despised Yahweh.” (Sheol h7585)
31 To loknawk a thuih boih pacoengah, Nihcae ohhaih im tlim ih long to akah rak,
As he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split apart.
32 long loe pakha aangh moe, to kaminawk hoi nihcae ih imnawk, Korah ih imthung takoh boih, a tawnh ih hmuenmaenawk boih to paaeh.
The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up with their households, all of Korah’s men, and all their goods.
33 To kaminawk, nihcae hoi angkom kaminawk loe, kahing ah long thungah caeh o tathuk; long mah nihcae to pakuep hmoek; to tiah nihcae loe acaeng kaminawk thung hoiah anghmat angtaa o. (Sheol h7585)
So they, and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol. The earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
34 Nihcae hanghaih lok to thaih o naah, aicae doeh long mah paaeh toeng tih boeh, tiah a poek o pongah, a taengah kaom Israel kaminawk loe cawnh o boih.
All Israel that were around them fled at their cry; for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!”
35 To naah Angraeng khae hoi hmai to angzoh moe, hmuihoih thlaek kami cumvai hnet, qui pangatonawk to hmai mah kangh boih.
Fire came out from Yahweh, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense.
36 Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
37 Aaron capa qaima Eleazar khaeah hmai kangqong hmuihoih thlaekhaih sabae to la ah loe, kangqong hmai to ataek ah; to hmuihoihnawk loe kaciim hmuen ah oh.
“Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire away from the camp; for they are holy,
38 Angmacae hinghaih paduek hanah zaehaih sah kaminawk ih hmuihoih thlaekhaih sabae hoiah hmaicam to khuk hanah sum kangphaek daek to sah ah; to sabaenawk loe Angraeng khaeah paek ih hmuen ah oh pongah ciim; to hmuen loe Israel kaminawk tanoekhaih ah om tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
even the censers of those who sinned against their own lives. Let them be beaten into plates for a covering of the altar, for they offered them before Yahweh. Therefore they are holy. They shall be a sign to the children of Israel.”
39 To pongah qaima Eleazar mah hmuihoih thlaekhaih sabaenawk to lak moe, hmaicam to khuk hanah sum kamling to kangphaek daek ah daengsak.
Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers which those who were burned had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,
40 Aaron ih caanawk na ai ah, kalah kami mah Angraeng hmaa ah hmuihoih thlaek hanah angzo nahaeloe, Korah hoi anih hnukbang kaminawk baktiah oh han om ai; to sabaenawk loe Israel kaminawk mah panoek poe han ih hmuen ah om tih, tiah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah pae thuih ih lok baktih toengah Eleazar mah sak.
to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger who isn’t of the offspring of Aaron, would come near to burn incense before Yahweh, that he not be as Korah and as his company; as Yahweh spoke to him by Moses.
41 Khawnbang ah loe amkhueng Israel acaeng kaminawk boih mah, Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah, Nanghnik mah Angraeng ih kaminawk to na hum hoi boih boeh, tiah laisaep o thuih.
But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed Yahweh’s people!”
42 Mosi hoi Aaron ih lok to aek hanah kaminawk nawnto amkhueng o, amkhuenghaih kahni im bangah angqoi o naah, khenah, tamai mah kahni im to khuk khoep moe, Angraeng lensawkhaih to amtueng.
When the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, they looked toward the Tent of Meeting. Behold, the cloud covered it, and Yahweh’s glory appeared.
43 To pacoengah Mosi hoi Aaron loe amkhuenghaih kahni im hma bangah caeh hoi.
Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.
44 To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
45 akra ai ah hae kaminawk hae ka tamit boih han boeh pongah, hae kaminawk salak hoiah kamhoe ah om ah, tiah a naa. To naah nihnik loe long ah akuep hoi.
“Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!” They fell on their faces.
46 Mosi mah Aaron khaeah, Hmuihoih thlaekhaih sabae to la ah, hmaicam nui ih hmai to la ah loe, sabae thungah suek pacoengah, kaminawk khaeah karangah caeh ah loe, zae angbawnhaih to sahsak ah; Angraeng khae hoi palungphuihaih phak boeh pongah, nathaih kasae to phak boeh, tiah a naa.
Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, put fire from the altar in it, lay incense on it, carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from Yahweh! The plague has begun.”
47 Mosi mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Aaron loe kaminawk salakah cawnh moe, a sak; khenah, to naah kaminawk khaeah nathaih kasae oh amtong boeh; toe Aaron mah hmuihoih to thlaek moe, kaminawk han angbawnhaih to sak pae.
Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the middle of the assembly. The plague had already begun among the people. He put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
48 Anih loe kahing hoi kadueh salakah angdoet; to naah kasae nathaih to dip.
He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49 Toe Korah pongah kadueh kaminawk to thui ai, to nathaih kasae pongah kadueh kaminawk loe sangqum boihah sang hatlai pali, qui sarihto oh o.
Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, in addition to those who died about the matter of Korah.
50 Kasae nathaih dip pacoengah, Aaron loe Mosi khaeah amkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah amlaem let.
Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and the plague was stopped.
