4 Mosebog 16
1 Og Kora, en Søn af Jizehar, der var en Søn af Kahat, Levi Søn, tog til sig baade Dathan og Abiram, Eliabs Sønner, og On, Peleths Søn, Rubens Børn.
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 Pallu, the son of Reuben, made themselves ready,
2 Og de stode op for Mose Ansigt tillige med to Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Mænd af Israels Børn, Menighedens Fyrster, udnævnte blandt Forsamlingen, navnkundige Mænd.
And came before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty chiefs of the people, men of good name who had a place in the meeting of the people.
3 Og de samlede sig imod Mose og Aron, og de sagde til dem: Lader det være eder nok! thi den ganske Menighed er allesammen hellige, og Herren er midt iblandt dem, og hvi ophøje I eder over Herrens Menighed?
They came together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, You take overmuch on yourselves, seeing that all the people are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them; why then have you put yourselves in authority over the people of the Lord?
4 Der Mose hørte det, da faldt han paa sit Ansigt.
And Moses, hearing this, went down on his face;
5 Og han talte til Kora og alt hans Selskab, sigende: I Morgen skal Herren give til Kende, hvo hans er, og den, som hellig er, og den, han skal lade komme nær til sig; og hvem han udvælger, den skal han lade komme nær til sig.
And he said to Korah and his band, In the morning the Lord will make clear who are his, and who is holy, and who may come near him: the man of his selection will be caused to come near him.
6 Gører dette: Tager eder Ildkar, Kora og alt hans Selskab!
So do this: let Korah and all his band take vessels for burning perfumes;
7 Og lægger Ild i dem og lægger Røgelse paa dem for Herrens Ansigt i Morgen, og det skal ske, hvilken Mand Herren udvælger, han er den hellige; lader det være eder nok, Levi Børn!
And put spices on the fire in them before the Lord tomorrow; then the man marked out by the Lord will be holy: you take overmuch on yourselves, you sons of Levi.
8 Og Mose sagde til Kora: Hører dog, I Levi Børn!
And Moses said to Korah, Give ear now, you sons of Levi:
9 Er det eder for lidet, at Israels Gud har udskilt eder fra Israels Menighed for at lade eder komme nær til sig, til at besørge Herrens Tabernakels Tjeneste og til at staa for Menighedens Ansigt at tjene dem?
Does it seem only a small thing to you that the God of Israel has made you separate from the rest of Israel, letting you come near himself to do the work of the House of the Lord, and to take your place before the people to do what has to be done for them;
10 Og han har ladet dig og alle dine Brødre, Levi Børn, med dig komme nær, og nu søge I ogsaa Præstedømmet!
Letting you, and all your brothers the sons of Levi, come near to him? and would you now be priests?
11 Derfor er du og alt dit Selskab, de som ere forsamlede, imod Herren; og Aron, hvad er han, at I knurre imod ham?
So you and all your band have come together against the Lord; and Aaron, who is he, that you are crying out against him?
12 Og Mose sendte hen at kalde ad Dathan og ad Abiram, Eliabs Sønner, og de sagde: Vi komme ikke op.
Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up:
13 Er det for lidet, at du har ført os op af et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning, for at lade os dø i Ørken? thi du vil endog aldeles tiltage dig selv Herredømmet over os.
Is it not enough that you have taken us from a land flowing with milk and honey, to put us to death in the waste land, but now you are desiring to make yourself a chief over us?
14 Du har visselig ikke ført os ind i et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning, eller givet os Agre og Vingaarde til Arv; vil du blænde Øjnene paa disse Mænd? vi ville ikke komme op.
And more than this, you have not taken us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us a heritage of fields and vine-gardens: will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.
15 Da blev Mose saare vred og sagde til Herren: Vend dig ikke til deres Madoffer; jeg har ikke taget et Asen fra dem, og jeg har ikke gjort een iblandt dem ondt.
Then Moses was very angry, and said to the Lord, Give no attention to their offering: not one of their asses have I taken, or done wrong to any of them.
16 Og Mose sagde til Kora: Vær du og dit ganske Selskab for Herrens Ansigt, du og de og Aron, i Morgen,
And Moses said to Korah, You and all your band are to come before the Lord tomorrow, you and they and Aaron:
17 og tager hver sit Ildkar og lægger Røgelse paa dem, og hver føre sit Ildkar frem for Herrens Ansigt, to Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Ildkar; og du og Aron, hver med sit Ildkar!
And let every man take a vessel for burning perfumes, and put sweet spices in them; let every man take his vessel before the Lord, two hundred and fifty vessels; you and Aaron and everyone with his vessel.
18 Og de toge hver sit Ildkar og lagde Ild i dem og lagde Røgelse paa dem, og de stode for Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør, ligeledes Mose og Aron.
So every man took his vessel and they put fire in them, with spices, and came to the door of the Tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
19 Og Kora samlede den ganske Menighed imod dem til Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør; men Herrens Herlighed viste sig for den ganske Menighed.
And Korah made all the people come together against them to the door of the Tent of meeting: and the glory of the Lord was seen by all the people.
20 Og Herren talede til Mose og til Aron og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
21 Skiller eder midt ud af denne Menighed, saa vil jeg gøre Ende paa dem, i et Øjeblik.
Come out from among this people, so that I may send sudden destruction on them.
22 Men de faldt ned paa deres Ansigter og sagde: Gud, alt Køds Aanders Gud! om den ene Mand synder, vil du derfor blive vred paa al Menigheden?
Then falling down on their faces they said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, because of one man's sin will your wrath be moved against all the people?
23 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses,
24 Tal til Menigheden og sig: Gaar bort trindt omkring fra Koras, Dathans og Abirams Bolig.
Say to the people, Come away from the tent of Korah Dathan, and Abiram.
25 Og Mose stod op og gik til Dathan og Abiram, og de Ældste af Israel gik efter ham.
So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the responsible men of Israel went with him.
26 Og han talede til Menigheden og sagde: Kære, viger bort fra disse ugudelige Mænds Telte, og rører ikke ved noget af det, som hører dem til, at I ikke skulle omkomme i alle deres Synder.
And he said to the people, Come away now from the tents of these evil men, without touching anything of theirs, or you may be taken in the punishment of their sins.
27 Og de gik bort fra Koras, Dathans og Abirams Bolig trindt omkring; men Dathan og Abiram vare gangne ud og stode i deres Teltes Dør, og deres Hustruer og deres Sønner og deres smaa Børn.
So on every side they went away from the tent of Korah Dathan, and Abiram: and Dathan and Abiram came out to the door of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their little ones.
28 Og Mose sagde: Derpaa skulle I kende, at Herren har sendt mig at gøre alle disse Gerninger, og at de ikke ere af mit eget Hjerte:
And Moses said, Now you will see that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, and I have not done them of myself.
29 Dersom disse dø, som alle Mennesker dø, eller hjemsøges, som alle Mennesker hjemsøges, da har Herren ikke sendt mig;
If these men have the common death of men, or if the natural fate of all men overtakes them, then the Lord has not sent me.
30 men dersom Herren skaber noget nyt, at Jorden oplader sin Mund og opsluger dem og alt det, de have, saa at de fare levende ned i Helvede, da skulle I kende, at disse Mænd have opirret Herren. (Sheol h7585)
But if the Lord does something new, opening the earth to take them in, with everything which is theirs, and they go down living into the underworld, then it will be clear to you that the Lord has not been honoured by these men. (Sheol h7585)
31 Og det skete, der han havde fuldendt at tale alle disse Ord, da revnede Jorden, som var under dem,
And while these words were on his lips, the earth under them was parted in two;
32 og Jorden aabnede sin Mund og opslugte dem og deres Huse og hvert Menneske, som hørte Kora til, og alt Godset.
And the earth, opening her mouth, took them in, with their families, and all the men who were joined to Korah, and their goods.
33 Og de og alt det, de havde, fore levende ned i Helvede; og Jorden skjulte dem, og de omkom midt i Menigheden. (Sheol h7585)
So they and all theirs went down living into the underworld, and the earth was shut over them, and they were cut off from among the meeting of the people. (Sheol h7585)
34 Og al Israel, som var trindt omkring dem, flyede ved deres Skrig; thi de sagde: Blot Jorden ikke opsluger os!
And all Israel round about them went in flight at their cry, For fear, said they, that we go down into the heart of the earth.
35 Og en Ild for ud fra Herren og fortærede de to Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Mænd, som ofrede Røgelse.
Then fire came out from the Lord, burning up the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the perfume.
36 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses,
37 Sig til Eleasar, Præsten Arons Søn, at han skal tage Ildkarrene ud af Branden og sprede Ilden langt bort; thi de ere helligede,
Say to Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, that he is to take out of the flames the vessels with the perfumes in them, turning the fire out of them, for they are holy;
38 deres Ildkar, som syndede imod deres Liv, og man skal slaa dem i brede Plader at beslaa Alteret med; thi de bare dem frem for Herrens Ansigt, og de ere helligede; og de skulle være Israels Børn til et Tegn.
And let the vessels of those men, who with their lives have made payment for their sin, be hammered out into plates as a cover for the altar; for they have been offered before the Lord and are holy; so that they may be a sign to the children of Israel.
39 Saa tog Eleasar, Præsten, de Ildkar af Kobber, som de opbrændte havde ofret med, og slog dem ud til Plader til at beslaa Alteret med,
So Eleazar the priest took the brass vessels which had been offered by those who were burned up, and they were hammered out to make a cover for the altar:
40 Israels Børn til en Ihukommelse, paa det at ingen fremmed Mand, som ikke er af Arons Sæd, skal nærme sig for at gøre Offer af Røgelse for Herrens Ansigt; og at det ikke skal gaa ham som Kora og som hans Selskab, som Herren havde sagt ham ved Mose.
To be a sign, kept in memory for ever by the children of Israel, that no man who is not of the seed of Aaron has the right of burning spices before the Lord, so that he may not be like Korah and his band: as the Lord said to him by the mouth of Moses.
41 Men den anden Dag knurrede al Israels Børns Menighed mod Mose og mod Aron og sagde: I have slaget Herrens Folk ihjel.
But on the day after, all the children of Israel made an outcry against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have put to death the Lord's people.
42 Og det skete, der Menigheden samledes mod Mose og mod Aron, da vendte disse sig til Forsamlingens Paulun, og se, Skyen skjulte det; og Herrens Herlighed lod sig se.
Now when the people had come together against Moses and Aaron, looking in the direction of the Tent of meeting, they saw the cloud covering it, and the glory of the Lord came before their eyes.
43 Og Mose og Aron kom frem foran Forsamlingens Paulun.
Then Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of meeting.
44 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses,
45 Forføjer eder midt ud af denne Menighed, saa vil jeg gøre Ende paa dem i et Øjeblik; og de faldt ned paa deres Ansigter.
Come out from among this people, so that I may send sudden destruction on them. And they went down on their faces.
46 Og Mose sagde til Aron: Tag Ildkarret og læg Ild fra Alteret og læg Røgelse derpaa, og gak hasteligen hen til Menigheden og gør Forligelse for dem; thi en Vrede er udgangen fra Herrens Ansigt, Plagen er begyndt.
And Moses said to Aaron, Take your vessel and put in it fire from the altar, and sweet spices, and take it quickly into the meeting of the people, and make them free from sin: for wrath has gone out from the Lord, and the disease is starting.
47 Og Aron tog det, ligesom Mose havde sagt, og løb hen midt i Forsamlingen, og se, Plagen var begyndt iblandt Folket; saa kom han Røgelse derpaa og gjorde Forligelse for Folket.
And at the words of Moses, Aaron took his vessel, and went running among the people; and even then the disease had made a start among them; and he put spices in his vessel to take away the sin of the people.
48 Og han stod imellem de døde og imellem de levende, og Plagen hørte op.
And he took his place between the dead and the living: and the disease was stopped.
49 Men de, som døde i Plagen, vare fjorten Tusinde og syv Hundrede foruden dem, som døde for Koras Handels Skyld.
Now fourteen thousand, seven hundred deaths were caused by that disease, in addition to those who came to their end because of what Korah had done.
50 Og Aron kom til Mose igen for Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør, og Plagen var hørt op.
Then Aaron went back to Moses to the door of the Tent of meeting: and the disease came to a stop.
