Lampahnah 16
1 Te phoeiah Levi koca Kohath kah a ca Izhar capa Korah, Eliab ca rhoi Dathan neh Abiram, Reuben koca Peleth capa On te a khuen.
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 Te phoeiah Israel ca lamloh hlang yahnih sawmnga, hlang kah tingtunnah khuikah ming aka thang, rhaengpuei khoboei rhoek neh Moses mikhmuh ah tlai uh.
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 Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah tingtun uh tih amih rhoi taengah, “Rhaengpuei boeih ham nangmih rhoi te rhoekoe aih. Amih te boeih cim uh tih amih lakli taengah BOEIPA om ta. Balae tih BOEIPA kah hlangping soah na palawh uh rhoi,” a ti uh.
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 Tedae Moses loh a yaak vaengah a maelhmai dongah buekuep.
And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
5 Te phoeiah Korah taeng neh a hlangboel boeih taengah, “Mincang ah BOEIPA amah taengkah neh hlangcim te mingpha bitni. A taengla a moe vaengah amah ham a coelh te ni anih taengah a moe pa eh.
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 He he saii uh lamtah Korah neh a hlangboel boeih aw, baelphaih te namamih ham lo uh.
This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
7 Te rhoek dongah hmai khueh lamtah te nen te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah bo-ul tawn pah. Thangvuen ah khaw BOEIPA kah a coelh hlang om bitni. Anih te Levi koca nangmih taengah muep cim ngawn,” a ti nah.
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 Moses loh Korah te akhue tih, “Levi koca hnatun uh mai.
And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
9 Israel Pathen loh nangmih te Israel rhaengpuei taeng lamloh amah taengla khuen ham, BOEIPA dungtlungim kah thohtatnah dongah thohtat ham, rhaengpuei mikhmuh kah aka thotat te pai puei ham nangmih n'hoep te nangmih ham a mailai a?
Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God 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 Nang neh na manuca boeih, na taengkah Levi koca rhoek m'mop lalah khosoihbi na hue bal pueng.
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 Te dongah nang neh na hlangboel boeih loh BOEIPA na tuentah thil uh. A taengah a nul la na nul uh ham akhaw Aaron te mebang nim?” a ti nah.
For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against Yhwh: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
12 Te phoeiah Eliab koca Dathan neh Abiram te khue ham Moses loh a tah.
And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
13 Tedae, “Ka cet uh mahpawh, khosoek ah kaimih duek sak ham suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen lamloh kaimih n'caeh puei te a mailai a? Kaimih soah na boei la na boei van.
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 Suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen la kaimih nang khuen pawt bueng kolla khohmuen neh misurdum khaw kaimih ham rho nan paek loela he. Hlang te a mik na koeih aya? Ka lo uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
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 Te vaengah Moses te sai khungdaeng tih BOEIPA taengah, “Amih kah khocang taengla mael boeh, amih lamkah laak pakhat pataeng ka khuen pawt tih amih soah pakhat khaw ka thae moenih a ti nah.
And Moses was very wroth, and said unto Yhwh, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
16 Te phoeiah Moses loh Korah te, “Namah neh na hlangboel boeih aw, thangvuen ah tah namah khaw, amih khaw Aaron khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah om uh.
And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before Yhwh, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
17 Hlang loh amah baelphaih khuen saeh lamtah a khuiah bo-ul khueh pah. Te vaengah hlang kah a baelphaih khaw, nang neh Aaron kah khaw, khat rhip kah a baelphaih te baelphaih yahnih sawmnga la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah khuen pah,” a ti nah.
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 Te dongah hlang tom loh a baelphaih te a loh tih a khuiah hmai a poep uh. Te soah bo-ul a poep thil phoeiah tah tingtunnah dap thohka kah Moses neh Aaron taengah pai uh.
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 Tingtunnah dap thohka kah amih hmai ah Korah loh rhaengpuei boeih te a tingtun sak. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tah rhaengpuei boeih taengah a tueng pah.
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 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
And Yhwh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 He rhaengpuei khui lamloh tuiphih rhoi lamtah amih te mikhaptok ah ni ka khah eh?,” a ti nah.
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
22 Tedae a maelhmai dongah bakop rhoi tih, “Pathen aw, pumsa cungkuem kah Mueihla Pathen aw, hlang pakhat a tholh dongah rhaengpuei boeih taengah na thintoek mai,” a ti rhoi.
And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
23 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Rhaengpuei te voek lamtah thui pah. Korah, Dathan neh Abiram kah dungtlungim taeng kaepvai lamloh cet uh laeh,” a ti nah.
Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25 Moses te thoo tih Israel kah a ham rhoek Dathan neh Abiram neh anih hnukah aka cet rhoek te a paan.
And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 Rhaengpuei taengah a thui pah tih, “Halang hlang rhoek kah dap dong lamlong he nong uh laeh, amih taengkah boeih te tah ben uh boeh, amih kah tholh cungkuem dongah na khoengvoep uh ve,” a ti nah.
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 Te dongah Korah, Dathan kah dungtlungim taeng lamkah neh Abiram kaepvai lamloh nong uh. Te vaengah amamih kah dap thohka ah aka pai Dathan neh Abiram tah a yuu rhoek neh a ca rhoek khaw, camoe khaw ha moe uh.
So they gat 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 Te vaengah Moses loh, “He bitat cungkuem saii ham he kamah lungbuei lamkah pawt tih BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih khaw he nen he ming uh.
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 Hlang cungkuem a duek bangla he rhoek duek tih hlang cungkuem aka cawhkung bangla amih neh cawh koinih BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih mahpawh.
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 Tedae BOEIPA loh hnothai a suen tih diklai loh a ka a ang khaming. Te vaengah amamih neh amih taengkah a cungkuem te dolh saeh lamtah a hingnah te saelkhui la suntla uh saeh. Te vaengah he kah hlang rhoek loh BOEIPA a tlaitlaek uh te na ming uh bitni,” a ti nah. (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 He ol cungkuem a thui te a khah van neh diklai te a dang ueth coeng.
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 Te dongah diklai loh a ka a ang tih amih, Korah neh a im khaw, a hlang boeih neh a khuehtawn boeih te a dolh pah.
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
33 Amih neh amih taengkah boeih te saelkhui ah a hing la a suntlak uh phoeiah tah amih te diklai loh a et tih hlangping lakli lamloh milh uh. (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 Te dongah amih kaepvai kah Israel pum long tah, “Diklai loh mamih n'dolh van ve,” a ti uh tih a ol neh rhaelrham uh.
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 Te phoeiah hmai te BOEIPA taeng lamloh ha puek tih bo-ul aka nawn hlang yahnih sawmnga te hlawp.
And there came out a fire from Yhwh, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
36 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
37 “Khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar te thui pah. Baelphaih te ungkhang laklo lamloh koeih saeh lamtah hmai te khaw a ciim coeng dongah voelh thaek saeh.
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 Amih kah hinglu kongah he hlangtholh rhoek kah baelphaih rhoek he phaldaep la phal uh saeh lamtah hmueihtuk dongkah a ben ham khaw te te saii uh saeh. Te rhoek te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nawn uh saeh lamtah ciim uh saeh. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek ham miknoek la om saeh,” a ti nah.
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 Te dongah a khuen uh tih aka ung tangtae rhohum baelphaih te khosoih Eleazar a loh. Te phoeiah te te hmueihtuk dongkah ben ham a daep uh.
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 Israel ca rhoek ham poekkoepnah la a om daengah ni Aaron tiingan lamkah mueh atah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah bo-ul phum ham kholong hlang a mop pawt eh. Te dongah BOEIPA Moses kut dongah a uen vanbangla Korah neh a hlangboel bang tah om boel saeh.
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 A vuen ah tah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih te Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah nul tih, “BOEIPA kah pilnam te na duek sak rhoi,” a ti na uh.
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 Tedae rhaengpuei loh Moses neh Aaron te a tingtun thil uh tih tingtunnah dap la mael uh. Te vaengah cingmai loh tarha a thing tih BOEIPA kah thangpomnah khaw tueng.
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 Te daengah Moses neh Aaron te tingtunnah dap hmai la moe rhoi.
And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
44 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
45 “He rhaengpuei khui lamloh cungpet rhoi lamtah amih te mikhaptok ah ni ka khah eh?,” a ti nah. Te dongah a maelhmai neh bakop rhoi.
Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
46 Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron taengah, “Baelphaih te lo lamtah a khuiah hmueihtuk dongkah hmai na poep phoeiah bo-ul mop thil, rhaengpuei taengla tlek cet lamtah amih ham dawth pah. BOEIPA maelhmai dong lamloh thinhulnah ha thoeng tih tlohthae ha tawn uh coeng,” a ti nah.
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 Te dongah Moses kah a thui bangla Aaron loh a loh tih hlangping khui la yong. Te vaengah tlohthae loh pilnam tarha a phoei coeng. Tedae bo-ul te a phum tih pilnam ham a dawth pah.
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 Aka duek laklo neh aka hing laklo ah a pai vaengah lucik khaw cing.
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49 Korah ol ah a duek uh bueng kolla lucik ah aka duek rhoek he thawng hlai li ya rhih lo uh.
Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
50 Lucik a cing daengah Aaron khaw tingtunnah dap thohka kah Moses taengla mael.
And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
