Minbu 16

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, 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 men;

2 Israel chilhah jouse phung lamkai jani le somnga jaonan Mose doumah in achon tauve.

and they rose up in face of Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty men; they were princes of the congregation, the elect men of the assembly, men of renown;

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.

and they assembled 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 the LORD is among them; wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?'

4 Mose’n Amaho thusei ajah phat chun a kaiku jeng tan ahi.

And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face.

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.

And he spoke unto Korah and unto all his company, saying: 'In the morning the LORD will show who are His, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near unto Him; even him whom He may choose will He cause to come near unto Him.

6 Vo Korah nangma na hin nanung juiten, jing teng maicham thaomei halna chu na hin kichoi diu ahi ati.

This do: take you censors, Korah, and all his company;

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 put fire therein, and put incense upon them before the LORD to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy; ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.'

8 Chu in Mose’n Korah henga asei in, Levite insung injong ngai un,

And Moses said unto Korah: 'Hear now, ye 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 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 the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto 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.

and that He hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and will ye seek the priesthood also?

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 thou and all thy company that are gathered together against the LORD —; and as to Aaron, what is he that ye murmur 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.

And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said: 'We will not come up;

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 a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but thou must needs make thyself also a prince 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 thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards; wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.'

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.

And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD: 'Respect not Thou their offering; I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt 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 unto Korah: 'Be thou and all thy congregation before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow;

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.

and take ye every man his fire-pan, and put incense upon them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his fire-pan, two hundred and fifty fire-pans; thou also, and Aaron, each his fire-pan.'

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.

And they took every man his fire-pan, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

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.

And Korah assembled all the congregation against them unto the door of the tent of meeting; and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.

20 Chuin Pakaiyin Mose le Aaron henga thu aseijin ahi.

And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:

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 among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.'

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.

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 Chu in Pakaiyin Mose henga thu aseiyin.

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

24 Khuti ahi leh Mipi ho chu seipeh tan, Korah ahin, Dothan chuleh Abiram houbuh a konna kichon doh ding’in seipeh in ati.

'Speak unto the congregation, saying: Get you up from about the dwelling 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.

And Moses rose up and went unto 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 spoke unto the congregation, saying: 'Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be swept away in 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 got them up from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side; and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.

28 Chuin Mose’n aseijin, Pakaiyin eihin sol lona pentah katoh kabol dingho hi keima chang’a kabol theilou ahi.

And Moses said: 'Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works, and that I have not done them of mine own mind.

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 the common death of all men, and be visited after the visitation of all men, then the LORD hath 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 make a new thing, and the ground open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down alive into the pit, then ye shall understand that these men have despised the LORD.' (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.

And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground did cleave asunder that was under them.

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 her mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

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)

So 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 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.

And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said: 'Lest the earth swallow us up.'

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 devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.

36 Chuin Pakaiyin Mose henga thu asei jin.

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

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,

'Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the fire-pans out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are become 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.

even the fire-pans of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar — for they are become holy, because they were offered before the LORD — that they may be a sign unto the children of Israel.'

39 Hichun Eleazar thempu pan mi meiyin akahvamho sum-eng lhengkong hochu achom khom in, Maicham phun khutup na sinkha din akheng tai.

And Eleazar the priest took the brazen fire-pans, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of 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.

to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no common man, that is not of the seed of Aaron, draw near to burn incense before the LORD; that he fare not as Korah, and as his company; as the LORD spoke unto him by the hand of Moses.

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.

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 the LORD.'

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.

And it came to pass, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting; and, behold, 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.

And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.

44 Chuin Pakaiyin Mose henga hiti hin aseijin ahi.

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

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 you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.' And they fell upon their faces.

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.

And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Take thy fire-pan, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from the LORD: the plague is 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.

And Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people; and he put on 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.

And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

49 Ahinlah pasal sangsom-le-sangli leh jasagi chu a thigam hel man tan hichu Korah chungchang jeh’a thiho kisim thalou ahi.

Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.

50 Thina hise chu atan phat in, Aaron jong houbuh lutna kom a Mose heng lam chu ahin jon tan ahi.

And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tent of meeting, and the plague was stayed.
