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.
And Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, made bold, and [with him] Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben;
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 they rose up against Moses, with two hundred and fifty men of the children of Israel, princes of the assembly, summoned to the council, men of renown;
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?
and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, It is enough; for all the assembly, all of them are holy, and Jehovah is among them; and why do ye lift up yourselves above the congregation of Jehovah?
4 Der Mose hørte det, da faldt han paa sit Ansigt.
When Moses heard this, he fell 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 spoke to Korah and to all his band, saying, Even to-morrow will Jehovah make known who is his, and who is holy; and he will cause him to come near to him; and him whom he has chosen, him will he cause to come near to him.
6 Gører dette: Tager eder Ildkar, Kora og alt hans Selskab!
This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his band,
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 fire therein, and lay incense thereon before Jehovah to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah doth choose, he shall be holy. It is enough, ye sons of Levi!
8 Og Mose sagde til Kora: Hører dog, I Levi Børn!
And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye 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?
Is it too little for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the work of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the assembly to minister to them?
10 Og han har ladet dig og alle dine Brødre, Levi Børn, med dig komme nær, og nu søge I ogsaa Præstedømmet!
— that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also?
11 Derfor er du og alt dit Selskab, de som ere forsamlede, imod Herren; og Aron, hvad er han, at I knurre imod ham?
For which cause thou and all thy band are banded together against Jehovah; and Aaron, who is he that ye murmur against him?
12 Og Mose sendte hen at kalde ad Dathan og ad Abiram, Eliabs Sønner, og de sagde: Vi komme ikke op.
And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but 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 a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that thou must make thyself altogether a ruler 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.
Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou 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 wroth, and said to Jehovah, Have no regard to their oblation: not one ass have I taken from them, neither have I hurt one 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, Be thou and all thy band before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow.
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 take each his censer, and put incense thereon, and present before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou, and Aaron, each his censer.
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.
And they took each his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereon, and stood before the entrance to the tent of meeting, as well as 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 gathered the whole assembly against them to the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the assembly.
20 Og Herren talede til Mose og til Aron og sagde:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
21 Skiller eder midt ud af denne Menighed, saa vil jeg gøre Ende paa dem, i et Øjeblik.
Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment.
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?
And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh! shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with the whole assembly?
23 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
24 Tal til Menigheden og sig: Gaar bort trindt omkring fra Koras, Dathans og Abirams Bolig.
Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25 Og Mose stod op og gik til Dathan og Abiram, og de Ældste af Israel gik efter ham.
And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed 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 spoke to the assembly, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all 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.
And they got up from the habitation of Koran, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the entrance of their tents, and 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, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these deeds, for they are not out of my own heart:
29 Dersom disse dø, som alle Mennesker dø, eller hjemsøges, som alle Mennesker hjemsøges, da har Herren ikke sendt mig;
if these men die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah 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 Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, and all that they have, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have despised Jehovah. (Sheol h7585)
31 Og det skete, der han havde fuldendt at tale alle disse Ord, da revnede Jorden, som var under dem,
And it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these words, that the ground clave apart that was under them.
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 opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and all their property.
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)
And they went down, they and all that they had, alive into Sheol, and the earth covered them; and they perished from among the congregation. (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 that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up!
35 Og en Ild for ud fra Herren og fortærede de to Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Mænd, som ofrede Røgelse.
And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense.
36 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
37 Sig til Eleasar, Præsten Arons Søn, at han skal tage Ildkarrene ud af Branden og sprede Ilden langt bort; thi de ere helligede,
Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning; and scatter the fire afar; for they are hallowed,
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.
the censers of these sinners who have forfeited their life; and they shall make them into broad plates for the covering of the altar; for they presented them before Jehovah, therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be a sign unto 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,
And Eleazar the priest took the copper censers, which they that were burnt had presented; and they were made broad plates for a covering of 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.
as a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron come near to burn incense before Jehovah, that he be not as Korah, and as his band, — as Jehovah had said to him through Moses.
41 Men den anden Dag knurrede al Israels Børns Menighed mod Mose og mod Aron og sagde: I have slaget Herrens Folk ihjel.
And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah.
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.
And it came to pass, when the assembly was gathered together against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared.
43 Og Mose og Aron kom frem foran Forsamlingens Paulun.
And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.
44 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell 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 the censer, and put fire thereon from off the altar, and lay on incense, and carry it quickly to the assembly, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah: the plague is begun.
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 Aaron took as Moses had said, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague had begun among the people; and he put on incense, and made atonement for the people.
48 Og han stod imellem de døde og imellem de levende, og Plagen hørte op.
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49 Men de, som døde i Plagen, vare fjorten Tusinde og syv Hundrede foruden dem, som døde for Koras Handels Skyld.
Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah.
50 Og Aron kom til Mose igen for Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør, og Plagen var hørt op.
And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.
