Brojevi 16
1 Korah, sin Jisharov, sin Kehatov, sin Levijev, pa Datan i Abiram, sinovi Eliabovi, i On, sin Peletov - potomci Rubenovi -
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 some men.
2 ustanu protiv Mojsija zajedno sa dvjesta pedeset Izraelaca, glavara zajednice, uglednih na skupštini i ljudi na glasu.
They rose up before Moses, with some of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown.
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!”
They assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, “You take too much on yourself, since all the congregation are holy, everyone of them, and the LORD is amongst them! Why do you lift yourselves up above the LORD’s assembly?”
4 Kad to ču Mojsije, pade ničice.
When Moses heard it, he fell 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.
He said to Korah and to all his company, “In the morning, the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him. Even him whom he shall choose, he will cause to come near to him.
6 Učinite ovo: uzmite kadionike, Korah i sva njegova družina;
Do this: have Korah and all his company take censers,
7 sutra stavite u njih vatre i metnite odozgo tamjana pred Jahvom. Koga Jahve odabere, taj neka bude posvećen. Vi prelazite mjeru, Levijevci!”
put fire in them, and put incense on them before the LORD tomorrow. It shall be that the man whom the LORD chooses, he shall be holy. You have gone too far, you sons of Levi!”
8 Potom Mojsije reče Korahu: “Poslušajte, Levijevci!
Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you 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 to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;
10 Promaknuo je tebe i s tobom svu tvoju braću Levijevce, a vi još tražite i svećeništvo!
and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? Do you seek the priesthood also?
11 Ti i sva tvoja družina, dakle, sjatili ste se protiv Jahve; jer što je Aron da protiv njega rogoborite?”
Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against the LORD! What is Aaron that you complain against him?”
12 Zatim posla Mojsije po Datana i Abirama, sinove Eliabove, ali oni odgovore: “Nećemo doći!
Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, “We won’t come up!
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 thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must also make yourself a prince 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!”
Moreover you haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We won’t come up.”
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 was very angry, and said to the LORD, “Don’t respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.”
16 Zatim Mojsije reče Korahu: “Ti i sva tvoja družina stupite sutra pred Jahvu; ti, i oni, i Aron.
Moses said to Korah, “You and all your company go before the LORD, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow.
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.”
Each man take his censer and put incense on it, and each man bring before the LORD his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each with 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.
They each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.
19 Kad, naprama njima, sabra Korah svu zajednicu na ulazu u Šator sastanka, onda se svoj zajednici pokaza slava Jahvina.
Korah assembled all the congregation opposite them to the door of the Tent of Meeting. The LORD’s glory appeared to all the congregation.
20 I reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
21 “Odvojite se od te zajednice da je odmah satrem!”
“Separate yourselves from amongst this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!”
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 on their faces, and said, “God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?”
23 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 “Reci toj zajednici: 'Uklonite se iz okolice prebivališta Koraha, Datana i Abirama!'”
“Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram!’”
25 Mojsije ustade i pođe k Datanu i Abiramu. Za njim krenuše izraelske starješine.
Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed 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 spoke to the congregation, saying, “Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all 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.
So they went away from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents with their wives, their sons, and their little ones.
28 “Po ovom ćete vidjeti”, reče Mojsije, “da me Jahve poslao da vršim sva ova djela, a da ih ne činim sam od sebe:
Moses said, “Hereby you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works; for they are not from my own mind.
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 all men, or if they experience what all men experience, then the LORD hasn’t sent 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 makes a new thing, and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows them up with all that belong to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall understand that these men have despised the LORD.” (Sheol h7585)
31 A kad on završi sve te riječi, tlo se pod njima raspukne;
As he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split apart.
32 zemlja rastvori svoje ralje i proguta ih s njihovim domovima, sa svim Korahovim ljudima i svim njihovim imanjem.
The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up with their households, all of Korah’s men, and all their goods.
33 Živi siđu u Šeol, oni i sve njihovo. Onda se nad njima zemlja zatvori i oni iščeznu iz zbora. (Sheol h7585)
So they, and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol. The earth closed on them, and they perished from amongst the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
34 Na njihov vrisak svi Izraelci što su stajali oko njih pobjegoše govoreći: “Da i nas zemlja ne proguta!”
All Israel that were around them fled at their cry; for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!”
35 Ali sukne oganj od Jahve te proždre dvjesta i pedeset ljudi koji su prinosili tamjan.
Fire came out from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men who offered the incense.
36 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
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.
“Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire away from the camp; for they are holy,
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!”
even the censers of those who sinned against their own lives. Let them be beaten into plates for a covering of the altar, for they offered them before the LORD. Therefore they are holy. They shall be a sign to the children of Israel.”
39 Tako svećenik Eleazar uze kadionike od tuča što su ih prinosili oni koji izgorješe; prekovaše ih u pločice za oblaganje žrtvenika.
Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers which those who were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of 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.
to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger who isn’t of the offspring of Aaron, would come near to burn incense before the LORD, that he not be as Korah and as his company; as the LORD spoke to him by Moses.
41 Sutradan je sva zajednica rogoborila protiv Mojsija i Arona. “Pobili ste Jahvin narod!” - govorili su.
But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”
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.
When the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, they looked towards the Tent of Meeting. Behold, the cloud covered it, and the LORD’s glory appeared.
43 Tada Mojsije i Aron odoše pred Šator sastanka.
Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.
44 I Jahve reče Mojsiju:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
45 “Udaljite se od te zajednice; u tili ću je čas uništiti!” Oni padoše ničice.
“Get away from amongst this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!” They fell on their faces.
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 your censer, put fire from the altar in it, lay incense on it, carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the LORD! The plague has begun.”
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.
Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the middle of the assembly. The plague had already begun amongst the people. He put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
48 Zatim stade između mrtvih i živih i zlo se ustavi.
He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49 Bilo ih je mrtvih od toga zla četrnaest tisuća i sedam stotina, osim onih koji su poginuli zbog Koraha.
Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, in addition to those who died about the matter of Korah.
50 Aron se vrati k Mojsiju na ulaz u Šator sastanka: pomor se ustavi.
Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and the plague was stopped.
