1 Nikhat chun Izhar chapa Korah, Ama chu Levi Phung akon Kohath insungmi ahin, ama chun Reuben phung’a kon mi aki tep khom in, hite ni chu Dathan le Abiram, amani chu Eliab chate ahin, chule Peleth chapa On jaonan,
Now Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath son of Levi, along with some Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—conducted
2 Israel chilhah jouse phung lamkai jani le somnga jaonan Mose doumah in achon tauve.
a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 men of Israel renowned as leaders of the congregation and representatives in the assembly.
3 Amaho jouse thakhat tah in lungkhat in apang khom un Mosele Aaron heng nga hitin asei tauve. “Nangni hi nachat val lheh lhon tai. Israel mipi hin Pathen akhosah jing un, Pakaiyin keiho jong ei umpi jing nauve, nangnin ipi thahat leh boltheina, keiho sanga lenjo Pathen mite lah a hi neija ki gella na him”, tin asei uve.
They came together against Moses and Aaron and told them, “You have taken too much upon yourselves! For everyone in the entire congregation is holy, and the LORD is in their midst. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?”
4 Mose’n Amaho thusei ajah phat chun a kaiku jeng tan ahi.
When Moses heard this, he fell facedown.
5 Hichun Mose’n Korahte nungjui ho lah achu hitin aseitai, jing teng Pakaiyin eihetsah diu ahi koi hohi ama chate hiham tichu het dohna um ding ahi.
Then he said to Korah and all his followers, “Tomorrow morning the LORD will reveal who belongs to Him and who is holy, and He will bring that person near to Himself. The one He chooses, He will bring near to Himself.
6 Vo Korah nangma na hin nanung juiten, jing teng maicham thaomei halna chu na hin kichoi diu ahi ati.
You, Korah, and all your followers are to do as follows: Take censers,
7 Chu teng Pathen masanga koi chu a thengjo ham ti chu evet diu ahitai. Veuvin Levi chate ho nang ho joh in na bol khel tauve ati.
and tomorrow you are to place fire and incense in them in the presence of the LORD. Then the man the LORD chooses will be the one who is holy. It is you sons of Levi who have taken too much upon yourselves!”
8 Chu in Mose’n Korah henga asei in, Levite insung injong ngai un,
Moses also said to Korah, “Now listen, you sons of Levi!
9 Pathen chun Israel mipite lah’a nalhen doh uva, ama jen ding leh a kintheng natoh tong ding’a na ngense uhi, thil neocha a ngaito na hiu ham ati.
Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel and brought you near to Himself to perform the work at the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?
10 Korah! Pathen in hi tobang kintheng tongdia na sopite’u Levite toh na ngense jing lai’uva, Themputna jong na holbe uva na ngaichat nahlai di’u ham? ati.
He has brought you near, you and all your fellow Levites, but you are seeking the priesthood as well.
11 Nangho hin na doudal pentah uchu midang ahipon Pathen chu ahi bouve, Aaron chu koi na hisah uva ama chung chang’a nang lungphat mo na vetsah jing uham?
Therefore, it is you and all your followers who have conspired against the LORD! As for Aaron, who is he that you should grumble against him?”
12 Hichun Mose’n Dathan chule Abiram ahin Eliab chateni chu ajui din akou tai, Ahinlah amaho ada tauvin, Keiho ka hung doh nom pouve.
Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come!
13 Ajeh chun Nangman Egypt gam sung khoiju le bongnoi lonna gam'a patna neihin pui doh uva, tun hikom nelgam a thidoh dinga neikou’u ahi phaset talou ding ham? Nangma in tuchan geija keiho chung a lengpa vaipoh bang nga hi nei poh jing ding’u ham?
Is it not enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? Must you also appoint yourself as ruler over us?
14 Ipi seibe ding um nalaija ham? Nang man Khoiju leh bongnoi lon na gam natina alah neipui hih laiyun, Keiho chenna ding gam la neipi pouvin, hon lei lhosoh ga konna ding gam lah aum pon, mingol bolla bol jing ding neigot nahlai uham, atiuve.
Moreover, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? No, we will not come!”
15 Hichun Mose chu a lunghang tan Pathen komma hitin asei tai. Leviten chang minsa maicham ima ahin choi teng, anasan datan, Amaho akon imachacha ka lah aum khapon, Amaho doumah ima cha jong ka bolkhah aum poi, ati.
Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, “Do not regard their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”
16 Chu in Mose’n Korah komma hitin aseijin Jing nikho teng nangma na hin, na nung jui jouse hilai muna na hung ki khop cheh diu, Pathen masang nga na din diu, Aaron jong hikomma hi hung ding ahi.
And Moses said to Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow—you and they and Aaron.
17 Nangma nahin na nung jui mi jani-le-somnga ho jouse chun gimnamtui halnam na ding thaomei chu Pakai masang’a ahin kichoi cheh diu, Aaron thempu pa jong ama gimnamtui maicham halna ding ahin kichoiya hung ding ahi, ati.
Each man is to take his censer, place incense in it, and present it before the LORD—250 censers. You and Aaron are to present your censers as well.”
18 Chu in amaho jousen maicham meihalna chu akilah cheh un, meikong chu ahal un Pathen maicham lutna phol lam a maicham phunga chun Mose le Aaron jong ading khom lhon’e.
So each man took his censer, put fire and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
19 Hiche phat don laitah chun Korah in mipi tam tah ahin tildoh tan Mose le Aaron gotna pe ding in amaho jouse chu houbuh maicham leitol lutna laitah’a chun aki khom khom tauvin ahi. Hiche Pathen loupina chu mipi holah’a hatah in ahung kilang doh tan ahi.
When Korah had gathered his whole assembly against them at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole congregation.
20 Chuin Pakaiyin Mose le Aaron henga thu aseijin ahi.
And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
21 Mipi ho lah’a kon in kinung khin doh lhon tan ajeh chu amaho hi abonchauva gang tah’a ka suh mang ding ahi tai.
“Separate yourselves from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.”
22 Amavang Mose le Aaron chu tol lhamma amai anga hon tan, O Pakai ati lhon in atao lhon tai. Pakai, Pathen nangma hinna nei jouse sempa chu na hi. Mikhat chonsetna jeh mei meiya mi jouse na suhgam jeng ding hitam ati lhon e.
But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with the whole congregation?”
23 Chu in Pakaiyin Mose henga thu aseiyin.
Then the LORD said to Moses,
24 Khuti ahi leh Mipi ho chu seipeh tan, Korah ahin, Dothan chuleh Abiram houbuh a konna kichon doh ding’in seipeh in ati.
“Tell the congregation to move away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Chu in Mose chu a ding doh in Israel Upa ho jao na in, Dothan le Abiram ki ngah na mumna pon buh lamma chun alhai tauvin ahi.
So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 Mose’n mipi ho komma chun gangtah in hiche migilou ho henga pat chun kikhin doh un chule nangman Amaho thilho jouse na tham khah lou ding, natham khat le achonset jeh uva gotna nachan thei diu ahi.
And he warned the congregation, “Move away now from the tents of these wicked men. Do not touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”
27 Hichun mipi jouse chu Dotham le Abiram chule Korah khoi lu pon in na kon in a kikhin doh tauvin ahi. Hi chun Dothan, Abiram le ajite ho ahiuvin achate ho jouse jaonan khoilu pon buh kisah na leitol la ahung un ahi.
So they moved away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Meanwhile, Dathan and Abiram had come out and stood at the entrances to their tents with their wives and children and infants.
28 Chuin Mose’n aseijin, Pakaiyin eihin sol lona pentah katoh kabol dingho hi keima chang’a kabol theilou ahi.
Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things, for it was not my own doing:
29 Hiche miho hi thi ngaina a athi uva, kivui ngai bang’a aki vui poupou uleh, Keihi Pathen hinsol kahi lou himei hen.
If these men die a natural death, or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.
30 Ahinlah Pathen, thilsoh thah khat abol ding, Leiset in akam akah’a amaho chu anei agou jouse’u toh avel lhum di’u, chuleh kotong sung’a chu khelut ding’u ahi. Chuteng chu leh hite ho hin Pathen asu lunghang tauve tihi na het doh thei diu ahitai ati. (Sheol h7585)
But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them and all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt.” (Sheol h7585)
31 Mose’n hiche thucheng ho seichai man loulai jin, Leiset chu ahung poh keh in Amaho noilam a chun a joplha gam tauve.
As soon as Moses had finished saying all this, the ground beneath them split open,
32 Korah mite jouse jong aloi agol ho chuleh anei agou abonchauvin hiche leivui chun akam akah in abonchauvin aval lhum soh heltai.
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households—all Korah’s men and all their possessions.
33 Hichun amaho ahing lai pum in lhankhuh chu ajon tauvin anei agou hou jouse toh avuh khum tha tauve, chule amaho jouse chu Israel mipi te chilhah a kon in agamlha ahi tauve. (Sheol h7585)
They went down alive into Sheol with all they owned. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
34 Mipi avel’a umjouse chu amaho ka-le-mao awgin ajah phat un atija lheh jeng un; “Eiho jong Leiset hin eivel lhum diu ahi tai” atiuve.
At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The earth may swallow us too!”
35 Pathen akon in mei ahung kong in, Pasal jani le somnga chu ahal vam soh tai.
And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.
36 Chuin Pakaiyin Mose henga thu asei jin.
Then the LORD said to Moses,
37 Aaron thempupa chapa Eleazar seipeh tan, Amaho atheng ahi jeh uchun, kipat untin gimnamtui kihal na lhengkong ho chu mei-am lah’a kon in loidoh henlang, a mei-am ho jong chu thaijah ta’u hen,
“Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the censers from the flames and to scatter the coals far away, because the censers are holy.
38 Hiche ahing’a chonset bolhon amanchah kilhaina Lhengkong hochu chomkhom uvin lang, Maicham khuna ding asin in sem un, ajeh chu amahon Pathen lhaina dia akatdoh sa’u ahin atheng a kisim ahi. Chuleh Hiche thilsoh hi Israel chate adin melchihna hi jing hen.
As for the censers of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, hammer them into sheets to overlay the altar, for these were presented before the LORD, and so have become holy. They will serve as a sign to the Israelites.”
39 Hichun Eleazar thempu pan mi meiyin akahvamho sum-eng lhengkong hochu achom khom in, Maicham phun khutup na sinkha din akheng tai.
So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned up, and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar,
40 Hiche hin Israel mite jouse a suhchih ding, koi hita jong leh nganse’a um Aaron insung mite hilou chun Pathen angsung’a gimnamtui hal dia lut loudiu ahi. A juilou chu Korah leh achilhah te banga um ding ahi tihi Pathen in Mose komma aseisa ahi tai.
just as the LORD commanded him through Moses. This was to be a reminder to the Israelites that no outsider who is not a descendant of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the LORD, lest he become like Korah and his followers.
41 Ahinlah ajing nikho’n Israel mite chun Mose le Aaron chu a oimo pan kit tauvin, “Nang nin Pathen mite nathat lhon’e” atiuve.
The next day the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”
42 Hiti chun mipite ho chun Mose le Aaron doudalna a, houbuh sung ano khum kigot laitah un Pathen loupina chu ahung kilang doh in, Meibol in ahin tom tai.
But when the congregation gathered against them, Moses and Aaron turned toward the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared.
43 Mose le Aaron chu ahung lhei lhontan houbuh masang’a ading lhon tan, ahi.
Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting,
44 Chuin Pakaiyin Mose henga hiti hin aseijin ahi.
and the LORD said to Moses,
45 Hi tobang mihem ho lah a kon in kikhin doh lhon tan keiman amaho abonchauva ka suh gam ding ahi tai. Mose le Aaron chu tol’ah abohkhup lhon tai.
“Get away from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.” And Moses and Aaron fell facedown.
46 Chu in Mose’n Aaron komma asei jin nangman gangtah in maicham meikhat chu la inlang, houbuh maicham sem inlang Amaho din Pathen toh ki houcham loijin, ajeh chu gamna hise akipan tai.
Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, place fire from the altar in it, and add incense. Go quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, because wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has begun.”
47 Aron in Mose seibang chun abol lin mipi te lah ah chu alhei lut in, gimnamtui ahal in mipi ho adin kilhaina abol in, alangsa gamna hise chu sutang ding agoi.
So Aaron took the censer as Moses had ordered and ran into the midst of the assembly. And seeing that the plague had begun among the people, he offered the incense and made atonement for the people.
48 Aaron chun mihem athi leh ahingho kikah ah palai jin ading in hichun pul chu atang tai.
He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was halted.
49 Ahinlah pasal sangsom-le-sangli leh jasagi chu a thigam hel man tan hichu Korah chungchang jeh’a thiho kisim thalou ahi.
But those who died from the plague numbered 14,700, in addition to those who had died on account of Korah.
50 Thina hise chu atan phat in, Aaron jong houbuh lutna kom a Mose heng lam chu ahin jon tan ahi.
Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, since the plague had been halted.
