4 Mosebog 16
1 Men Kora, en Søn af Jizhar, en Søn af Levis Søn Kehat, og Datan og Abiram, Sønner af Eliab, en Søn af Rubens Søn Pallu, gjorde Oprør.
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 De gjorde Oprør mod Moses sammen med 250 israelitiske Mænd, Øverster for Menigheden, udvalgte i Folkeforsamlingen, ansete 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 og traadte op imod Moses og Aron og sagde til dem: »Lad det nu være nok, thi hele Menigheden er hellig, hver og en, og HERREN er i dens Midte; hvorfor vil I da ophøje eder over HERRENS Forsamling?«
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 Da Moses hørte det, faldt han paa sit Ansigt.
And Moses, hearing this, went down on his face;
5 Derpaa talte han til Kora og alle hans Tilhængere og sagde: »Vent til i Morgen, saa vil HERREN give til kende, hvem der tilhører ham, og hvem der er hellig, saa at han vil give ham Adgang til sig; den, han udvælger, vil han give Adgang 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 Saaledes skal I gøre: Skaf eder Pander, du Kora og alle dine Tilhængere,
So do this: let Korah and all his band take vessels for burning perfumes;
7 og læg saa i Morgen Gløder paa og kom Røgelse paa for HERRENS Aasyn, saa skal den, HERREN udvælger, være den, som er hellig; lad det nu være nok, I Levisønner!«
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 Fremdeles sagde Moses til Kora: »Hør nu, I Levisønner!
And Moses said to Korah, Give ear now, you sons of Levi:
9 Er det eder ikke nok, at Israels Gud har udskilt eder af Israels Menighed og givet eder Adgang til sig for at udføre Arbejdet ved HERRENS Bolig og staa til Tjeneste for Menigheden?
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 Han har givet dig og med dig alle dine Brødre, Levis Sønner, Adgang til sig og nu attraar I ogsaa Præsteværdigheden!
Letting you, and all your brothers the sons of Levi, come near to him? and would you now be priests?
11 Derfor, du og alle dine Tilhængere, som har rottet eder sammen mod HERREN, hvad er Aron, at I vil knurre mod 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 Da sendte Moses Bud efter Datan og Abiram, Eliabs Sønner, men de sagde: »Vi kommer ikke!
Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up:
13 Er det ikke nok, at du har ført os bort fra et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning, for at lade os dø i Ørkenen, siden du oven i Købet vil opkaste dig til Herre 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 sandelig ikke ført os til et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning, eller givet os Marker og Vinbjerge! Tror du, du kan stikke disse Mænd Blaar i Øjnene? Vi kommer ikke!«
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 harmedes Moses højlig og sagde til HERREN: »Vend dig ikke til deres Offergave! Ikke saa meget som et Æsel har jeg frataget dem, ej heller har jeg gjort en eneste af dem noget 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 Moses sagde til Kora: »I Morgen skal du og alle dine Tilhængere komme frem for HERRENS Aasyn sammen med Aron;
And Moses said to Korah, You and all your band are to come before the Lord tomorrow, you and they and Aaron:
17 og enhver af eder skal tage sin Pande, lægge Gløder paa og komme Røgelse paa og frembære sin Pande for HERRENS Aasyn, 250 Pander, du selv og Aron skal ogsaa tage hver sin Pande!«
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 Da tog hver sin Pande, lagde Gløder paa og kom Røgelse paa, og saa stillede de sig ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet sammen med Moses 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 kaldte hele Menigheden sammen imod dem ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet. Da kom HERRENS Herlighed til Syne for hele Menigheden,
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 Moses og Aron og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
21 »Skil eder ud fra denne Menighed, saa vil jeg i et Nu tilintetgøre den!«
Come out from among this people, so that I may send sudden destruction on them.
22 Men de faldt paa deres Ansigt og sagde: »O Gud, du Gud over alt Køds Aander, vil du vredes paa hele Menigheden, fordi en enkelt Mand synder?«
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 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses,
24 »Tal til Menigheden og sig: Fjern eder fra Pladsen omkring Koras, Datans og Abirams Bolig!«
Say to the people, Come away from the tent of Korah Dathan, and Abiram.
25 Moses gik nu hen til Datan og Abiram, fulgt af Israels Ældste,
So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the responsible men of Israel went with him.
26 og han talte til Menigheden og sagde: »Træk eder tilbage fra disse ugudelige Mænds Telte og rør ikke ved noget af, hvad der tilhører dem, for at I ikke skal rives bort for alle deres Synders Skyld!«
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 Da fjernede de sig fra Pladsen om Koras, Datans og Abirams Bolig, og Datan og Abiram kom ud og stillede sig ved Indgangen til deres Telte med deres Hustruer og Børn, store og smaa.
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 Moses sagde: »Derpaa skal I kende, at HERREN har sendt mig for at gøre alle disse Gerninger, og at jeg ikke handler i Egenraadighed:
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 dør paa vanlig menneskelig Vis, og der ikke rammer dem andet, end hvad der rammer alle andre, saa 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 hvis HERREN lader noget uhørt ske, saa Jorden spiler sit Gab op og sluger dem med alt, hvad der tilhører dem, saa de farer levende ned i Dødsriget, da skal I derpaa kende, at disse Mænd har haanet 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 straks, da han havde talt alle disse Ord, aabnede Jorden sig under dem,
And while these words were on his lips, the earth under them was parted in two;
32 og Jorden lukkede sit Gab op og slugte dem og deres Boliger og alle Mennesker, der tilhørte Kora, og alt, hvad de ejede;
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 for levende ned i Dødsriget med alt, hvad der tilhørte dem, og Jorden lukkede sig over dem, og de blev udryddet af Forsamlingen. (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 Men hele Israel, der stod omkring dem, flygtede ved deres Skrig, thi de sagde: »Blot ikke Jorden skal opsluge 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 Ild for ud fra HERREN og fortærede de 250 Mænd, der frembar Røgelse.
Then fire came out from the Lord, burning up the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the perfume.
36 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses,
37 »Sig til Eleazar, Præsten Arons Søn, at han skal tage Panderne ud af Branden og strø Gløderne ud noget derfra; thi hellige
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 er de Pander, der tilhørte disse Mænd, som begik en Synd, der kostede dem Livet. De skal udhamre dem til Plader til Overtræk paa Alteret, thi de frembar dem for HERRENS Aasyn, og derfor er de hellige; de skal nu tjene Israeliterne til 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 Da tog Præsten Eleazar Kobberpanderne, som de opbrændte Mænd havde frembaaret, og hamrede dem ud til. Overtræk paa Alteret
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 som et Mindetegn for Israeliterne om, at ingen Lægmand, ingen, som ikke hører til Arons Efterkommere, maa træde frem for at ofre Røgelse for HERRENS Aasyn, for at det ikke skal gaa ham som Kora og hans Tilhængere, saaledes som HERREN havde sagt ham ved Moses.
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 Dagen efter knurrede hele Israels Menighed mod Moses og Aron og sagde: »Det er eder, der har, dræbt HERRENS Folk!«
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 Men da Menigheden samlede sig mod Moses og Aron, vendte de sig mod Aabenbaringsteltet, og se, Skyen dækkede det, og HERRENS Herlighed kom til Syne.
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 Da traadte Moses og Aron hen foran Aabenbaringsteltet,
Then Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of meeting.
44 og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses,
45 »Fjern eder fra denne Menighed, saa vil jeg i et Nu tilintetgøre dem!« Da faldt de paa deres Ansigt,
Come out from among this people, so that I may send sudden destruction on them. And they went down on their faces.
46 og Moses sagde til Aron: »Tag din Pande, læg Gløder fra Alteret paa og kom Røgelse paa og skynd dig saa hen til Menigheden og skaf den Soning, thi Vreden er brudt frem fra HERREN, Plagen har allerede taget fat!«
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 Da tog Aron det, saaledes som Moses havde sagt, og løb midt ind i Forsamlingen. Og se, Plagen havde allerede taget fat blandt Folket, men han kom Røgelsen paa og skaffede Folket Soning.
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 som han stod der midt imellem døde og levende, hørte Plagen op.
And he took his place between the dead and the living: and the disease was stopped.
49 Men de, der omkom ved Plagen, udgjorde 14 700 Mennesker foruden dem, der omkom for Koras 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 Saa vendte Aron tilbage til Moses ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet, efter at Plagen var ophørt.
Then Aaron went back to Moses to the door of the Tent of meeting: and the disease came to a stop.
