Brojevi 16
1 Korah, sin Jisharov, sin Kehatov, sin Levijev, pa Datan i Abiram, sinovi Eliabovi, i On, sin Peletov - potomci Rubenovi -
And behold Core the son of Isaar, the son of Caath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, and Hon the son of Pheleth of the children of Ruben,
2 ustanu protiv Mojsija zajedno sa dvjesta pedeset Izraelaca, glavara zajednice, uglednih na skupštini i ljudi na glasu.
Rose up against Moses, and with them two hundred and fifty others of the children of Israel, leading men of the synagogue, and who in the time of assembly were called by name.
3 Oni se sjate oko Mojsija i Arona govoreći im: “Vi prelazite mjeru! Sva je zajednica, svi njezini članovi, posvećena i među njima je Jahve. Zašto se onda uzvisujete iznad zajednice Jahvine!”
And when they had stood up against Moses and Aaron, they said: Let it be enough for you, that all the multitude consisteth of holy ones, and the Lord is among them: Why lift you up yourselves above the people of the Lord?
4 Kad to ču Mojsije, pade ničice.
When Moses heard this, he fell flat on his face:
5 Zatim reče Korahu i svoj njegovoj družini: “Sutra će Jahve pokazati tko je njegov i tko je posvećen, kome dopušta da mu se približi. Koga sebi izabere, k sebi će ga i pustiti.
And speaking to Core and all the multitude, he said: In the morning the Lord will make known who belong to him, and the holy he will join to himself: and whom he shall choose, they shall approach to him.
6 Učinite ovo: uzmite kadionike, Korah i sva njegova družina;
Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company.
7 sutra stavite u njih vatre i metnite odozgo tamjana pred Jahvom. Koga Jahve odabere, taj neka bude posvećen. Vi prelazite mjeru, Levijevci!”
And putting fire in them tomorrow, put incense upon it before the Lord: and whomsoever he shall choose, the same shall be holy: you take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
8 Potom Mojsije reče Korahu: “Poslušajte, Levijevci!
And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi.
9 Zar vam je malo što vas je Bog Izraelov izdvojio iz Izraelove zajednice da vas približi k sebi te da vršite službu u Jahvinu prebivalištu i da stojite pred zajednicom služeći joj?
Is it a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath spared you from all the people, and joined you to himself, that you should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and should stand before the congregation of the people, and should minister to him?
10 Promaknuo je tebe i s tobom svu tvoju braću Levijevce, a vi još tražite i svećeništvo!
Did he therefore make thee and all thy brethren the sons of Levi to approach unto him, that you should challenge to yourselves the priesthood also,
11 Ti i sva tvoja družina, dakle, sjatili ste se protiv Jahve; jer što je Aron da protiv njega rogoborite?”
And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?
12 Zatim posla Mojsije po Datana i Abirama, sinove Eliabove, ali oni odgovore: “Nećemo doći!
Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.
13 Zar je malo što si nas odveo iz zemlje kojom teče med i mlijeko da nas pobiješ u ovoj pustinji, pa hoćeš da nasilno zagospodariš nad nama?
Is it a small matter to thee, that thou hast brought us out of a land that flowed with milk and honey, to kill us in the desert, except thou rule also like a lord over us?
14 Nisi nas uveo u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko i nisi nam dao u posjed njive i vinograde! Misliš li iskopati oči ovim ljudima? Nećemo doći!”
Thou best brought us indeed into a land that floweth with rivers of milk and honey, and hast given us possessions of fields and vineyards; wilt thou also pull out our eyes? We will not come.
15 Mojsije se vrlo razljuti i reče Jahvi: “Ne obaziri se na njihovu prinosnicu! Ni jednoga njihova magarca nisam prisvojio niti sam ijednoga od njih oštetio.”
Moses therefore being very angry, raid to the Lord: Respect not their sacrifices: thou knowest that I have not taken of them so much as a young ass at any time, nor have injured any of them.
16 Zatim Mojsije reče Korahu: “Ti i sva tvoja družina stupite sutra pred Jahvu; ti, i oni, i Aron.
And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord tomorrow, and Aaron apart.
17 Neka svaki uzme svoj kadionik, stavi u nj tamjana i neka svaki donese svoj kadionik pred Jahvu - dvjesta i pedeset kadionika. A i ti i Aron donesite svaki svoj kadionik.”
Take every one of you censers, and put incense upon them, offering to the Lord two hundred and fifty censers: let Aaron also hold his censer.
18 Svaki uzme svoj kadionik, stavi u nj vatre, onda odozgo metne tamjana i stane s Mojsijem i Aronom kod ulaza u Šator sastanka.
When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing,
19 Kad, naprama njima, sabra Korah svu zajednicu na ulazu u Šator sastanka, onda se svoj zajednici pokaza slava Jahvina.
And had drawn up all the multitude against them to the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.
20 I reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:
And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
21 “Odvojite se od te zajednice da je odmah satrem!”
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them.
22 Oni popadoše ničice i povikaše: “Bože! Bože životnog duha u svakome tijelu! Zar ćeš se razgnjeviti na svu zajednicu kad je samo jedan sagriješio!”
They fell flat on their face, and said: O most mighty, the God of the spirits of all flesh, for one man’s sin shall thy wrath rage against all?
23 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And the Lord said to Moses:
24 “Reci toj zajednici: 'Uklonite se iz okolice prebivališta Koraha, Datana i Abirama!'”
Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron.
25 Mojsije ustade i pođe k Datanu i Abiramu. Za njim krenuše izraelske starješine.
And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following him,
26 Zatim ovako progovori zajednici: “Odstupite od šatora tih opakih ljudi! Ne dotičite se ničega što je njihovo, da ne budete uništeni zbog svih njihovih grijeha.”
He said to the multitude: Depart from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be involved in their sins.
27 Tako se oni udalje iz okolice prebivališta Korahova, Datanova i Abiramova. Uto izađu Datan i Abiram te stanu na ulazu svojih šatora sa svojim ženama, svojim sinovima i svojom nejačadi.
And when they were departed from their tents round about, Dathan and Abiron coming out stood in the entry of their pavilions with their wives and children, and all the people.
28 “Po ovom ćete vidjeti”, reče Mojsije, “da me Jahve poslao da vršim sva ova djela, a da ih ne činim sam od sebe:
And Moses said: By this you shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all things that you see, and that I have not forged them of my own head:
29 ako ovi ljudi umru kao što umru i svi ljudi; ako ih pohodi sudbina kakva pohodi sve ljude, onda me Jahve nije poslao.
If these men die the common death of men, and if they be visited with a plague, wherewith others also are wont to be visited, the Lord did not send me.
30 Ali ako Jahve učini nečuveno: ako zemlja rastvori svoje ralje i proguta ih sa svim što je njihovo te živi siđu u Šeol, onda znajte da su ovi ljudi prezreli Jahvu.” (Sheol h7585)
But if the Lord do a new thing, and the earth opening her mouth swallow them down, and all things that belong to them, and they go down alive into hell, you shall know that they have blasphemed the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
31 A kad on završi sve te riječi, tlo se pod njima raspukne;
And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet:
32 zemlja rastvori svoje ralje i proguta ih s njihovim domovima, sa svim Korahovim ljudima i svim njihovim imanjem.
And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance.
33 Živi siđu u Šeol, oni i sve njihovo. Onda se nad njima zemlja zatvori i oni iščeznu iz zbora. (Sheol h7585)
And they went down alive into hell the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people. (Sheol h7585)
34 Na njihov vrisak svi Izraelci što su stajali oko njih pobjegoše govoreći: “Da i nas zemlja ne proguta!”
But all Israel, that was standing round about, fled at the cry of them that were perishing: saying: Lest perhaps the earth swallow us up also.
35 Ali sukne oganj od Jahve te proždre dvjesta i pedeset ljudi koji su prinosili tamjan.
And a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
36 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
37 “Kaži Eleazaru, sinu svećenika Arona, da ukloni kadionike - jer su posvećeni - iz toga zgarišta, a neposvećenu vatru iz njih neka razaspe podalje.
Command Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers that lie in the burning, and to scatter the fire of one side and the other: because they are sanctified
38 Kadionici onih koji su sagriješili i grijehom život pokopali neka se prekuju u pločice za oblaganje žrtvenika. Doneseni su, naime, pred Jahvu, pa su posvećeni. Neka budu opomenom Izraelcima!”
In the deaths of the sinners: and let him beat them into plates, and fasten them to the altar, because incense hath been offered in them to the Lord, and they are sanctified, that the children of Israel may see them for a sign and a memorial.
39 Tako svećenik Eleazar uze kadionike od tuča što su ih prinosili oni koji izgorješe; prekovaše ih u pločice za oblaganje žrtvenika.
Then Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherein they had offered, whom the burning fire had devoured, and beat them into plates, fastening them to the altar:
40 One su opomena Izraelcima da se nitko nepozvan - nitko tko nije od Aronova potomstva - ne smije približiti da pali tamjan pred Jahvom, kako mu se ne bi dogodilo kao Korahu i njegovoj družini, prema onom što je kazao Jahve po Mojsiju.
That the children of Israel might have for the time to come wherewith they should be admonished, that no stranger or any one that is not of seed of Aaron should come near to offer incense to the Lord, lest he should suffer as Core suffered, and all his congregation, according as the Lord spoke to Moses.
41 Sutradan je sva zajednica rogoborila protiv Mojsija i Arona. “Pobili ste Jahvin narod!” - govorili su.
The following day all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: You have killed the people of the Lord.
42 Dok se zajednica skupljala protiv Mojsija i Arona, oni se okrenuše prema Šatoru sastanka, i gle! oblak ga prekri i slava se Jahvina pokaza.
And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
43 Tada Mojsije i Aron odoše pred Šator sastanka.
Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when the were gone into it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
44 I Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And the Lord said to Moses:
45 “Udaljite se od te zajednice; u tili ću je čas uništiti!” Oni padoše ničice.
Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground,
46 Zatim Mojsije reče Aronu: “Uzmi kadionik, stavi u nj vatre sa žrtvenika, metni tamjana, a onda se žuri do zajednice da obaviš nad njom obred pomirenja. Gnjev je Jahvin već izbio i zlo je počelo!”
Moses said to Aaron: Take the censer, and putting fire in it from the altar, put incense upon it, and go quickly to the people to pray for them: for already wrath is gone out from the Lord, and the plague rageth.
47 Aron uze što mu je Mojsije rekao te otrča usred zbora, a kad tamo: pomor među narodom već počeo. Stavi tamjana te obavi obred pomirenja nad narodom.
When Aaron had done this, and had run to the midst of the multitude which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense:
48 Zatim stade između mrtvih i živih i zlo se ustavi.
And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.
49 Bilo ih je mrtvih od toga zla četrnaest tisuća i sedam stotina, osim onih koji su poginuli zbog Koraha.
And the number of them that were slain was fourteen thousand and seven hundred men, besides them that had perished in the sedition of Core.
50 Aron se vrati k Mojsiju na ulaz u Šator sastanka: pomor se ustavi.
And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over.
