4 Mosebog 16
1 Men Kora, en Søn af Jizhar, en Søn af Levis Søn Kehat, og Datan og Abiram, Sønner af Ejiab, en Søn af Rubens Søn Pallu, gjorde Oprør.
One day Korah, who was the son of Izhar and a descendant of Levi’s son Kohath, conspired with Dathan and Abiram, who were the sons of Eliab, and On, who was the son of Peleth. Those three men were from the tribe of Reuben.
2 De gjorde Oprør mod Moses sammen med 250 israelitiske Mænd, Øverster for Menigheden, udvalgte i Folkeforsamlingen, ansete Mænd.
Korah and those other three men incited 250 other people who were leaders among the Israeli people to join them in rebelling against Moses/me.
3 Og de samlede sig og trådte 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 to criticize Aaron and Moses/me. They said to them/us, “You two are using more [authority] than you should! Yahweh has set apart all of us Israeli people, and he is with/helping all of us. So why do you act as though you are more important than the rest of us people who belong to Yahweh [RHQ]?”
4 Da Moses hørte det, faldt han på sit Ansigt.
When Moses/I heard what they were saying, he/I prostrated himself/myself on the ground.
5 Derpå talte han til Kora og alle hans Tilhængere og sagde: "Vent til i Morgen, så vil HERREN give til kende, hvem der tilhører ham, og hvem der er hellig, så at han vil give ham Adgang til sig; den, han udvælger, vil han give Adgang til sig.
Then he/I said to Korah and those [Israeli leaders] who were with Korah, “Tomorrow morning Yahweh will show us whom he has chosen to be his [priest], and who is holy and allowed to come near to him. Yahweh will permit [only] those whom he chooses to come into his presence.
6 Således skal I gøre: Skaf eder Pander, du Kora og alle dine Tilhængere,
So Korah, tomorrow you and those who are with you must prepare your pans to burn incense.
7 og læg så i Morgen Gløder på og kom Røgelse på for HERRENs Åsyn, så skal den, HERREN udvælger, være den, som er hellig; lad det nu være nok, I Levisønner!"
Then you must light a fire in them and burn the incense in the presence of Yahweh. Then we will see which one of us Yahweh has chosen to be his holy servant. It is you men who are descendants of Levi who are trying to use more [authority] than you should!”
8 Fremdeles sagde Moses til Kora: "Hør nu, I Levisønner!
Then Moses/I spoke again to Korah. He/I said, “You men who are descendants of Levi, listen to me!
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 stå til Tjeneste for Menigheden?
The God of us Israelis has chosen all of you to be close to him in order that you can work for him at his Sacred Tent and serve the people. (Is that unimportant/Does that mean nothing) to you [RHQ]?
10 Han har givet dig og med dig alle dine Brødre, Levis Sønner, Adgang til sig og nu attrår I også Præsteværdigheden!
Yahweh has brought you, [Korah], and your fellow descendants of Levi, near to himself. Now are you demanding to become priests also?
11 Derfor, du og alle dine Tilhængere, som har rottet eder sammen mod HERREN, hvad er Aron, at I vil knurre mod ham!"
It is really Yahweh against whom you and your fellow descendants of Levi are rebelling. Aaron is not the one about whom you are really complaining [RHQ].”
12 Da sendte Moses Bud efter Datan og Abiram, Eliabs Sønner, men de sagde: "Vi kommer ikke!
Then Moses/I summoned Dathan and Abiram, but [they refused to come]. They [sent a message] saying, “We will not come to you!
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!
You brought us out of Egypt, which was a very fertile [IDM] land, in order to cause us to die here in this desert. That was bad. But now you are also trying to boss us [RHQ], and that is worse.
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 Blår i Øjnene? Vi kommer ikke!"
You have not given us a new land to live in, a land that has good fields and vineyards. You are only trying to [RHQ] trick these people. So we will not come to you.”
15 Da harmedes Moses højlig og sagde til HERREN: "Vend dig ikke til deres Offergave! Ikke så meget som et Æsel har jeg frataget dem, ej heller har jeg gjort en eneste af dem noget ondt!"
Then Moses/I became very angry. He/I said to Yahweh, “Do not accept the grain offerings that they have brought. I have not taken anything from them, not even one donkey, and I have never done anything wrong to them, [so they have no reason to complain about me].”
16 Og Moses sagde til Kora: "I Morgen skal du og alle dine Tilhængere komme frem for HERRENs Åsyn sammen med Aron;
Then Moses/I said to Korah, “You and all those who are with you must come here tomorrow and stand in front of Yahweh. Aaron will also be here.
17 og enhver af eder skal tage sin Pande, lægge Gløder på og komme Røgelse på og frembære sin Pande for HERRENs Åsyn, 250 Pander, du selv og Aron skal også tage hver sin Pande!"
You and all the 250 men who are with you must each take a pan in which to burn incense, and put incense in it, to [burn it to be] an offering to Yahweh. Aaron will do the same thing.”
18 Da tog hver sin Pande, lagde Gløder på og kom Røgelse på, og så stillede de sig ved indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet sammen med Moses og Aron;
So [the next day] each of those men got a pan to burn incense. They put in it incense and hot coals to light it, and then they all stood at the entrance of the Sacred Tent with Aaron and Moses/me.
19 og Kora kaldte hele Menigheden sammen imod dem ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet. Da kom HERRENs Herlighed til Syne for hele Menigheden,
Then Korah summoned all the people who supported him and who were against Moses/me, and they also gathered at the entrance of the tent. Then the glory of Yahweh appeared to all of them/us,
20 og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
and Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
21 "Skil eder ud fra denne Menighed, så vil jeg i et Nu tilintetgøre den!"
“Get away from all these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately!”
22 Men de faldt på deres Ansigt og sagde: "O Gud, du Gud over alt Køds Ånder, vil du vredes på hele Menigheden, fordi en enkelt Mand synder?"
But Aaron and Moses/I prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground. We pleaded with Yahweh, saying, “God, you are the one who caused all these people to live [MTY]. Only one of these men has sinned; so, (is it right for you to be angry with all the people?/it is not right for you to be angry with all the people!) [RHQ]”
23 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
24 "Tal til Menigheden og sig: Fjern eder fra Pladsen omkring Koras, Datans og Abirams Bolig!"
“[Okay], but tell all the people to get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Moses gik nu hen til Datan og Abiram, fulgt af Israels Ældste,
So Moses/I stood up and went to the tents of Dathan and Abiram. The Israeli leaders followed him/me.
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!"
He/I told the people, “Get away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything that belongs to them! If you touch anything, you will die because 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 små.
So all the people moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram came out of their tents with their wives and children and babies, and stood at the entrances of their tents.
28 Og Moses sagde: "Derpå skal I kende, at HERREN har sendt mig for at gøre alle disse Gerninger, og at jeg ikke handler i Egenrådighed:
Then Moses/I said, “I was not the one who decided to do all these things that I have done. It was Yahweh who [chose me and] sent me to do them. And now he will prove that to you.
29 Dersom disse dør på vanlig menneskelig Vis, og der ikke rammer dem andet, end hvad der rammer alle andre, så har HERREN ikke sendt mig;
If these men die in a normal way, then it will be clear that Yahweh did not choose me.
30 men hvis HERREN lader noget uhørt ske, så Jorden spiler sit Gab op og sluger dem med alt, hvad der tilhører dem, så de farer levende ned i Dødsriget, da skal I derpå kende, at disse Mænd har hånet HERREN!" (Sheol h7585)
But if Yahweh does something that has never happened before, if he causes the ground [that is under their feet] to open up and swallow these men [and their families] and all their possessions, and they fall into the opening and are buried while they are still alive, then you will know that these men have insulted Yahweh.” (Sheol h7585)
31 Og straks, da han havde talt alle disse Ord, åbnede Jorden sig under dem,
As soon as Moses/I said this, the ground split open beneath those men.
32 og Jorden lukkede sit Gab op og slugte dem og deres Boliger og alle Mennesker, der tilhørte Kora, og alt, hvad de ejede;
It swallowed them and their families and all those who were standing there with Korah and all of their possessions.
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)
They fell into the opening in the ground while they were still alive, and all their possessions fell into the opening also. They disappeared, and the ground closed back up again. (Sheol h7585)
34 Men hele Israel, der stod omkring dem, flygtede ved deres Skrig, thi de sagde: "Blot ikke Jorden skal opsluge os!"
They screamed as they fell, and all the people who were standing nearby heard them scream. The people [were terrified and] cried out as they ran away, saying, “[We do not want] the ground to swallow us also!”
35 Og Ild for ud fra HERREN og fortærede de 250 Mænd, der frembar Røgelse.
And then a fire from Yahweh came down [from the sky] and burned up the 250 men who were burning the incense!
36 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
37 "Sig til Eleazar, Præsten Arons Søn, at han skal tage Panderne ud af Branden og strø Gløderne ud noget derfra; thi hellige
“Tell Aaron’s son Eleazar to take the pans that had incense in them away from the fire and to scatter the burning coals. The pans that those men [were carrying] are (holy/dedicated to me) [because they burned incense to me in them].
38 er de Pander, der tilhørte disse Mænd, som begik en Synd, der kostede dem Livet. De skal udhamre dem til Plader til Overtræk på Alteret, thi de frembar dem for HERRENs Åsyn, og derfor er de hellige; de skal nu tjene Israelitterne til Tegn."
Those men have now died because of their sin; so [Eleazar must] take their pans and hammer the metal to make it become very thin. He must make a covering for the altar with that metal. Those pans were used to offer incense to me, so they are (holy/dedicated to me). [What happened to] those pans will now warn the Israeli people.”
39 Da tog Præsten Eleazar Kobberpaladerne, som de opbrændte Mænd havde frembåret, og hamrede dem ud til. Overtræk på Alteret
So Eleazar the priest collected the 250 pans for burning incense that had been used by the men who died in the fire. He hammered the pans very thin to make a covering for the altar, as Yahweh told Moses/me should be done.
40 som et Mindetegn for Israelitterne om, at ingen Lægmand, ingen, som ikke hører til Arons Efterkommere, må træde frem for at ofre Røgelse for HERRENs Åsyn, for at det ikke skal gå ham som Kora og hans Tilhængere, således som HERREN havde sagt ham ved Moses.
That warned the Israeli people that only those who were descendants of Aaron were permitted to burn incense for an offering to Yahweh. If anyone else did that, the same thing that happened to Korah and those who were with him would happen to them.
41 Men Dagen efter knurrede hele Israels Menighed mod Moses og Aron og sagde: "Det er eder, der har, dræbt HERRENs Folk!"
But the following morning, all the Israeli people started to complain against Aaron and Moses/me, saying “You have killed many people who belonged to Yahweh!”
42 Men da Menigheden samlede sig mod Moses og Aron, vendte de sig mod Åbenbaringsteltet, og se, Skyen dækkede det, og HERRENs Herlighed kom til Syne.
When all the people gathered together to protest about what Aaron and Moses/I had done, they looked at the Sacred Tent and saw that the sacred cloud had covered it, and the glory of Yahweh had appeared.
43 Da trådte Moses og Aron hen foran Åbenbaringsteltet,
Aaron and Moses/I went and stood in front of the Sacred Tent.
44 og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
45 "Fjern eder fra denne Menighed, så vil jeg i et Nu tilintetgøre dem!" Da faldt de på deres Ansigt,
“Get away from these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately [without injuring you two]!” But Aaron and Moses/I prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground [and prayed].
46 og Moses sagde til Aron: "Tag din Pande, læg Gløder fra Alteret på og kom Røgelse på og skynd dig så hen til Menigheden og skaf den Soning, thi Vreden er brudt frem fra HERREN, Plagen har allerede taget fat!"
Moses/I said to Aaron, “Quickly take another pan and put in it some burning/hot coals from the altar. Put incense in the pan, and carry it out among the people to atone for the sins of the people. Yahweh is very angry with them, and [I know that] a (severe plague/bad sickness) has already started among them.”
47 Da tog Aron det, således som Moses havde sagt, og løb midt ind i Forsamlingen. Og se, Plagen havde allerede taget fat blandt Folket, men han kom Røgelsen på og skaffede Folket Soning.
So Aaron did what Moses/I told him. He took the burning incense out among the people. The plague had already started to strike the people, but Aaron continued to burn the incense so that God would forgive them for the sins they had committed.
48 Og som han stod der midt imellem døde og levende, hørte Plagen op.
He stood between the people who had already died and those who were still alive, and then the plague stopped.
49 Men de, der omkom ved Plagen, udgjorde 14700 Mennesker foruden dem, der omkom for Koras Skyld.
But 14,700 people had already died from that plague/sickness, in addition to the people who died with Korah.
50 Så vendte Aron tilbage til Moses ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet, efter at Plagen var ophørt.
Then after the plague had ended, Aaron and Moses/I returned to the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
