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.
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 De gjorde Oprør mod Moses sammen med 250 israelitiske Mænd, Øverster for Menigheden, udvalgte i Folkeforsamlingen, ansete 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 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?«
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 Da Moses hørte det, faldt han paa sit Ansigt.
When Moses heard this, he fell 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 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 Saaledes skal I gøre: Skaf eder Pander, du Kora og alle dine Tilhængere,
This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his band,
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 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 Fremdeles sagde Moses til Kora: »Hør nu, I Levisønner!
And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye 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?
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 Han har givet dig og med dig alle dine Brødre, Levis Sønner, Adgang til sig og nu attraar I ogsaa Præsteværdigheden!
— 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, du og alle dine Tilhængere, som har rottet eder sammen mod HERREN, hvad er Aron, at I vil knurre mod 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 Da sendte Moses Bud efter Datan og Abiram, Eliabs Sønner, men de sagde: »Vi kommer ikke!
And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but 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 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 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!«
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 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 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 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, Be thou and all thy band before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow.
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 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 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;
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 kaldte hele Menigheden sammen imod dem ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet. Da kom HERRENS Herlighed til Syne for hele Menigheden,
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 Moses og Aron og sagde:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
21 »Skil eder ud fra denne Menighed, saa vil jeg i et Nu tilintetgøre den!«
Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment.
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?«
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 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
24 »Tal til Menigheden og sig: Fjern eder fra Pladsen omkring Koras, Datans og Abirams Bolig!«
Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25 Moses gik nu hen til Datan og Abiram, fulgt af Israels Ældste,
And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed 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 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 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.
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 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, 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 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 die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah 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 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 straks, da han havde talt alle disse Ord, aabnede Jorden sig 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 lukkede sit Gab op og slugte dem og deres Boliger og alle Mennesker, der tilhørte Kora, og alt, hvad de ejede;
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 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)
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 Men hele Israel, der stod omkring dem, flygtede ved deres Skrig, thi de sagde: »Blot ikke Jorden skal opsluge os!«
And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up!
35 Og Ild for ud fra HERREN og fortærede de 250 Mænd, der frembar Røgelse.
And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense.
36 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
37 »Sig til Eleazar, Præsten Arons Søn, at han skal tage Panderne ud af Branden og strø Gløderne ud noget derfra; thi hellige
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 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.«
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 Da tog Præsten Eleazar Kobberpanderne, som de opbrændte Mænd havde frembaaret, og hamrede dem ud til. Overtræk paa Alteret
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 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.
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 Dagen efter knurrede hele Israels Menighed mod Moses og Aron og sagde: »Det er eder, der har, dræbt HERRENS Folk!«
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 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.
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 Da traadte Moses og Aron hen foran Aabenbaringsteltet,
And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.
44 og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
45 »Fjern eder fra denne Menighed, saa vil jeg i et Nu tilintetgøre dem!« Da faldt de paa deres Ansigt,
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 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 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 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 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 som han stod der midt imellem døde og levende, hørte Plagen op.
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49 Men de, der omkom ved Plagen, udgjorde 14 700 Mennesker foruden dem, der omkom for Koras 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 Saa vendte Aron tilbage til Moses ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet, efter at Plagen var ophørt.
And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.
