Milu Pareinae 16
1 Levih miphun Kohath capa Izhar, ahnie capa Karah teh, Reuben miphun Eliab capa Dathan hoi Abiram, hoi Peleth capa On tinaw hah a ceikhai teh,
Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi tried to take over leadership, along with Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On, son of Peleth, who were from the tribe of Reuben.
2 Isarel catoun thung hoi a min bet kamsawngnaw dawk hoi a lungkahanaw hoi lawkcengkung lah rawi e naw thung dawk hoi tami 250 touh Mosi hmalah a kangdue awh.
They rebelled against Moses, and were joined by 250 well-respected Israelite leaders and members of the assembly.
3 Mosi hoi Aron taranlahoi ahnimouh koe, hloi na lui awh toe. Bangdawk tetpawiteh a tamimaya koung a thoung awh teh, taminaw pueng koe BAWIPA ao doeh. Bangkongmaw BAWIPA e tamimaya van vah ka taluepoung lah na kâpouk roi telah atipouh.
They joined together in opposition to Moses and Aaron, telling them, “You've taken too much power for yourselves! Every one of the Israelites is holy, and the Lord is among them. So why do you set yourselves above the Lord's assembly?”
4 Hot hah Mosi ni a thai toteh a tabo teh,
When Moses heard what they were saying, he fell facedown on the ground.
5 Korah hoi a huinaw pueng koe, tangtho vah BAWIPA ni apimaw amae lah kaawm niteh, apimaw kathoung tie a kamnue sak vaiteh, ama rek hnai hanelah ati han doeh.
Then he told Korah and all those with him, “In the morning the Lord is going to make it clear who is his and who is holy, and allow that person to approach him. He will only allow whoever he chooses to approach him.
6 Hetheh sak awh, Korah hoi na huinaw pueng ni hmai lanae tongben lat awh nateh,
This is what you, Korah, and everyone with you are going to do. Take some incense burners,
7 tangtho vah, athung vah hmai hah tat nateh hmuitui hah BAWIPA hmalah phum awh. Hahoi BAWIPA ni a rawi e pueng teh kathounge lah ao han. Nangmouh Levih capanaw ekvoi na lui awh toe telah a ti.
and tomorrow put incense in them and set it on fire in the presence of the Lord. Then the man the Lord chooses is the one who is holy. It is you Levites who are taking too much power for yourselves!”
8 Mosi ni Korah koevah, nangmouh Levih capanaw thaihaw,
Moses also told Korah, “Listen, you Levites!
9 BAWIPA bawknae rim dawkvah thaw a tawk teh tamimaya hmalah thaw tawk hanlah kangdout e Isarelnaw, Cathut ni ama hnai hanelah Isarel taminaw pueng koehoi a kapek e,
Do you think it's something insignificant that the God of Israel chose you from all the other Israelites and allowed you to approach him and carry out the work in the Lord's Tabernacle, to stand before the Israelites and serve them?
10 Levih capa na hmaunawnghanaw hoi ama hnai sak hanlah a ta e naw heh, hno kathoungcalah na pouk awh dawk maw vaihma lah onae na tawng awh rah.
He has allowed you the privilege of approaching him, Korah, you and all the other Levites, but now you want to have the priesthood as well!
11 Hatdawkvah, nang nama hoi na hu pueng teh BAWIPA taranlahoi na kamkhueng awh vaw. Aron heh bangpatet lae tami lah maw ao teh, ahni koevah na phuenang awh vaw telah a ti.
So in reality you and those who have joined you are fighting against the Lord—because who is Aaron that you should complain about him?”
12 Mosi ni Eliab capa Dathan hoi Abiram a kaw sak, hatei ahnimouh ni ka takhang awh mahoeh.
Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they replied, “We're not going to appear before you!
13 Kahrawngum vah thei rumram hanelah sanutui hoi khoitui a lawngnae ram koehoi na tâcokhai e hah hno kathoengcae na maw, kaimouh lathueng vah bawi lah o han thouk na ngai bo aw.
Haven't you done enough by taking us away from a land flowing with milk and honey in order to kill us out here in the desert? Do you have to make yourself a dictator as well, someone to rule us?
14 Sanutui hoi khoitui a lawngnae ram dawk na ceikhai laipalah law hoi misur takha hai râw hanlah na poe kalawn hoeh. Hetnaw e mit heh ton na phuen pouh han na maw. Ka takhang awh roeroe mahoeh telah a ti.
On top of that you haven't taken us to a land flowing with milk and honey or given us fields and vineyards to own. Do you really think you can fool everyone? No, we will not attend!”
15 Mosi teh a lungphuen poung teh, BAWIPA koe vah a poe awh e teh dâw pouh hanh. Ahnimae la buet touh boehai ka lat pouh hoeh. Apihai patawnae ka poe hoeh a ti.
Moses got really angry and said to the Lord, “Don't accept their offerings. I have never taken even a donkey from them or treated any of them badly.”
16 Mosi ni Korah koevah tangtho vah nang nama hoi na huinaw pueng Aron hoi BAWIPA hmalah la awm awh.
Moses told Korah, “You and all those who have joined you must appear before the Lord tomorrow—all of you and Aaron too.
17 Hahoi hmai lanae tongben rip sin awh naseh. Hmuitui koung phuen awh naseh. BAWIPA hmalah hmai lanae 250 touh hah sin awh naseh. Nang nama hoi Aron ni hai hmai na lanae tongben reirei sin roih telah atipouh.
Each one will take his incense burner, put incense in it, and offer it before the Lord. All 250 of you will use your incense burners and Aaron will as well.”
18 Hahoi teh tami pueng ni hmai lanae rip a sin awh teh, hmai a ta awh teh hmuitui a phuen awh. Mosi hoi Aron teh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe a kangdue roi.
So each one took his incense burner, put incense in it, set it on fire, and stood together with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
19 Hahoi Korah ni tamimayanaw pueng hah ama taran lahoi kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe a pâkhueng awh. Hahoi hote tamimaya lathueng BAWIPA bawilennae a kamnue.
When Korah had gathered all his rebellious group at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the Lord's glory appeared before the whole congregation.
20 Hahoi BAWIPA ni Mosi hoi Aron a pato teh,
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
21 hete tamihu heh tawkkadekca dawk be a kahma thai nahanlah ahnimouh koehoi alouklah awm awh telah a ti.
“Step away from these Israelites and I will destroy them right away.”
22 Hottelah ahnimouh a tabo awh teh, Oe! Cathut takthainaw pueng e muitha Cathut, buet touh yon kecu dawk taminaw pueng koe na lungkhuek han maw telah a ti.
But Moses and Aaron fell facedown on the ground said, “God—God of everything that lives—when it's just one man who sins, do you have to be angry with the everybody?”
23 BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
Then the Lord told Moses,
24 taminaw pueng koe dei pouh. Korah hoi Dathan hoi Abiram tinaw e roenae rim dawk hoi yawng awh telah tet pouh.
“Tell the people to move away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Mosi a thaw teh Dathan hoi Abiram koe a cei teh, Isarel kacuenaw a kambawng awh.
So Moses went over to Dathan and Abiram, and the Israelite elders of Israel followed him.
26 Hahoi taminaw pueng koe a dei teh, hete tamikayonnaw e rim koehoi a tâco awh. Banghai tek pouh hanh awh. Hoehpawiteh a yonae pueng dawk nangmouh hai na bawk awh langvaih telah tet pouh.
He ordered the people, “Move away from the tents of these wicked men and don't touch anything that belongs to them, otherwise you will be destroyed along with them in all their sins.”
27 Hahoi Korah hoi Dathan hoi Abiram tinaw kathum touh teh, koung a tâcawttakhai awh. Dathan hoi Abiram teh amamae rim dawk hoi a tâco roi teh, amamae rim takhang koe a yucanaw hoi a kangdue awh.
The people moved away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrances to their tents along with their wives, children and little ones.
28 Mosi ni kai kama ngainae lahoi ka sak e nahoeh. BAWIPA ni sak hanelah na patoun e doeh tie hah hete hnonaw dawk hoi na panue awh han.
Moses said, “This is how you will know that the Lord did send me to carry out everything I've done, for it wasn't anything I thought up.
29 Hete taminaw niyah ayânaw due e patetlah dout boilah, taminaw pueng rek e patetlah rek pawiteh Cathut ni na patoun hoeh e han doeh.
If these men die a natural death, experiencing the destiny of every human being, then the Lord didn't sent me.
30 Hatei, BAWIPA ni a katha lah hno a sak teh, talai ni a kâko ang pawiteh, amamouh hoi kâkuen e pueng koung a padoun hoiyah tangkom dawk a hringo kâen awh pawiteh, BAWIPA ni hete taminaw heh a pahnawt toe tie na panue awh han telah a ti. (Sheol h7585)
But if the Lord does something totally different, and the earth opens up and swallows them down along with everything that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have acted with contempt to the Lord.” (Sheol h7585)
31 Hahoi, hete lawknaw koung a dei hnukkhu hoi ahnimouh onae koe talai rak a kâbawng.
Immediately Moses finished saying all this the ground under the rebels split apart,
32 Hahoi teh talai ni a kâko a ang teh, imthung buemlahoi, Korah e taminaw pueng hoi hnopainaw pueng hoi he a payawp.
and the earth opened up and swallowed them and their households down, as well as everyone who was there with Korah and everything that belonged to them.
33 Hahoi amamouh hoi a tawn awh e naw pueng hah tangkom dawk a hringo koung a bo awh. Talai ni a kâko a cakuep teh, ka kamkhueng e naw koehoi he a kahma awh. (Sheol h7585)
They went down alive into Sheol with all that they had. The earth closed over them, and they were no more. (Sheol h7585)
34 Hahoi a tengpam e Isarelnaw pueng teh, hotnaw e hramki lawk dawk hoi a yawng awh teh, talai ni na payawm awh langvaih telah ati awh.
When they heard their cries, all the Israelites nearby ran away, shouting, “Watch out! The earth could swallow us too!”
35 Hahoi BAWIPA koehoi hmai a tâco teh hmuitui ka thueng e tami 250 touh he a kak awh.
Fire burst out from the Lord and burned up the 250 men who were offering incense.
36 BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
Then the Lord said to Moses,
37 nang ni hmai hah tâkhawng nateh, vaihma Aron capa Elizur ni hmai thung e hmailanae tongben la hanelah dei pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kathounge hno lah ao.
“Tell Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, to collect the holy incense burners from among those who have been burned up, and scatter the coals used for the incense well away from the camp.
38 Amamouh hringnae dawk kapayonnaw e hmailanae tongbennaw hai lat nateh, khoungroe ramuk nahanelah dêi lah awm naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh BAWIPA hmalah poe e a tho dawkvah, kathounge lah ao teh, Isarel catounnaw hanelah mitnout lah ao han telah a ti.
Have the incense burners of those who sinned at the expense of their own lives hammered into metal sheets as a covering for the altar, because they were offered before the Lord, and so have become holy. They will be a reminder to Israelites of what happened.”
39 Hahoi Isarel catounnaw hanelah pahnim hoeh nahanelah Aron hoeh laipateh Jentelnaw BAWIPA hanlah hmuitui hmaisawi thueng hanelah a cei awh hoeh nahan,
So Eleazar the priest collected the bronze incense burners used by those who had been burned up, and had them hammered out as a covering for the altar,
40 Karah hoi a huinaw patetlah ao awh hoeh nahan, Mosi hno lahoi BAWIPA ni ahnimouh koe a dei pouh e patetlah bawknae khoungroe ramuk nahan a dêi awh.
following the instructions given to him from the Lord through Moses. This was to remind the Israelites that no one who is not a descendant of Aaron should come and offer incense before the Lord, otherwise they could end up like Korah and those with him.
41 A tangtho vah, Isarel catoun tamihu teh Mosi hoi Aron taranlahoi a phuenang awh. BAWIPA e tamihunaw na thei awh atipouh awh.
The next day all the Israelites complained to Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the Lord's people!”
42 Mosi hoi Aron hah taminaw pueng ni a kamkhueng sin navah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koelah a kangvawi awh teh, khenhaw! tâmai ni king a kayo awh teh, BAWIPA bawilennae a kamnue.
But as the people gathered to confront them, Moses and Aaron went over to the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the Lord's glory appeared.
43 Mosi hoi Aron teh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hmalah a tho roi.
Moses and Aaron went and stood at the front of the Tent of Meeting,
44 BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
and the Lord said to Moses,
45 hete taminaw thung hoi aloukcalah awm awh. Tawkkadekca kahma sak nahanelah, telah atipouh. Hahoi ahnimouh teh a tabo awh.
“Get away from these people and I will finish them off immediately.” Moses and Aaron fell facedown on the ground.
46 Mosi ni Aron koevah, hmai lanae tongben sin loe, khoungroe dawk hmai hah tat, hmuitui hah phuen nateh, taminaw pueng koe karanglah cetkhaih. Ahnimouh hanlah yontha nahan sak pouh. BAWIPA koehoi lungkhueknae a tâco toe. Patawnae lacik a kamtawng toe telah atipouh.
Moses told Aaron, “Put some coals from the altar and some incense in your incense burner. Then run to the people and make them right before the Lord, for the Lord is angry with them and a plague has started.”
47 Aron ni Mosi ni dei e patetlah a sin teh, ka kamkhueng e naw koe lah a yawng. Hahoi teh khenhaw! Lacik teh taminaw pueng koe pataw a kamtawng toe. Hmuitui a phuen teh taminaw yontha sak nahanlah a sak.
Aaron took the incense burner just as Moses had told him and ran into the middle of the assembly. He saw that the plague had started to affect the people so he offered the incense and made the people right with the Lord.
48 Tami kadout hoi kahring rahak a kangdue teh lacik teh a thoung.
He stood between those who had died and those who were still alive, and the plague was stopped.
49 Hottelah Korah kong dawk hoi kadoutnaw touksin laipalah, lacik lahoi kadoutnaw teh 14700.
However, 14,700 died from the plague in addition to those who'd died because of Korah.
50 Aron teh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe Mosi koe a ban teh laciknaw pueng teh a thoung.
Then Aaron went back to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting because the plague had been stopped.
