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, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
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 before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, 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 unto them, All of you take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift all of you up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
4 Der Mose hørte det, da faldt han paa sit Ansigt.
And when Moses heard it, he fell upon 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 unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even tomorrow the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he has chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
6 Gører dette: Tager eder Ildkar, Kora og alt hans Selskab!
This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
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 put incense in them before the LORD tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD does choose, he shall be holy: all of you take too much upon you, all of you sons of Levi.
8 Og Mose sagde til Kora: Hører dog, I Levi Børn!
And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, all of 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?
Seems it but a small thing unto 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 tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
10 Og han har ladet dig og alle dine Brødre, Levi Børn, med dig komme nær, og nu søge I ogsaa Præstedømmet!
And he has brought you near to him, and all your brethren the sons of Levi with you: and seek all of you 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 both you and all your company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that all of you 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: which 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 you have brought us up out of a land that flows with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except you make yourself altogether a prince 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 you have not brought us into a land that flows with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: 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.
And Moses was very angry, and said unto the LORD, Respect not you their offering: I have not taken one ass 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 unto Korah, Be you and all your company before the LORD, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
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 every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring all of you before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each of you 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 every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation 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 gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
20 Og Herren talede til Mose og til Aron og sagde:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 Skiller eder midt ud af denne Menighed, saa vil jeg gøre Ende paa dem, i et Øjeblik.
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may 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 upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?
23 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
24 Tal til Menigheden og sig: Gaar bort trindt omkring fra Koras, Dathans og Abirams Bolig.
Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle 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 unto 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 unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest all of you be consumed 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.
So they got up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
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 all of you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
29 Dersom disse dø, som alle Mennesker dø, eller hjemsøges, som alle Mennesker hjemsøges, da har Herren ikke sendt mig;
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; 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 make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then all of you shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD. (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, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder 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 her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all 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)
They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon 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 the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
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 the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
36 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the LORD spoke unto 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 unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter you the fire yonder; 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 against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, 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 brazen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; 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.
To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand 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 next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, All of you have killed the people of the LORD.
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 congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
43 Og Mose og Aron kom frem foran Forsamlingens Paulun.
And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
44 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the LORD spoke unto 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 among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon 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 unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; 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 commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an 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 and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
50 Og Aron kom til Mose igen for Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør, og Plagen var hørt op.
And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
