Numbers 16
1 Now Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath son of Levi, along with some Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—conducted
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.
2 a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 men of Israel renowned as leaders of the congregation and representatives in the assembly.
De gjorde Oprør mod Moses sammen med 250 israelitiske Mænd, Øverster for Menigheden, udvalgte i Folkeforsamlingen, ansete Mænd.
3 They came together against Moses and Aaron and told them, “You have taken too much upon yourselves! For everyone in the entire congregation is holy, and the LORD is in their midst. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?”
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?«
4 When Moses heard this, he fell facedown.
Da Moses hørte det, faldt han paa sit Ansigt.
5 Then he said to Korah and all his followers, “Tomorrow morning the LORD will reveal who belongs to Him and who is holy, and He will bring that person near to Himself. The one He chooses, He will bring near to Himself.
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.
6 You, Korah, and all your followers are to do as follows: Take censers,
Saaledes skal I gøre: Skaf eder Pander, du Kora og alle dine Tilhængere,
7 and tomorrow you are to place fire and incense in them in the presence of the LORD. Then the man the LORD chooses will be the one who is holy. It is you sons of Levi who have taken too much upon yourselves!”
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!«
8 Moses also said to Korah, “Now listen, you sons of Levi!
Fremdeles sagde Moses til Kora: »Hør nu, I Levisønner!
9 Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel and brought you near to Himself to perform the work at the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?
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?
10 He has brought you near, you and all your fellow Levites, but you are seeking the priesthood as well.
Han har givet dig og med dig alle dine Brødre, Levis Sønner, Adgang til sig og nu attraar I ogsaa Præsteværdigheden!
11 Therefore, it is you and all your followers who have conspired against the LORD! As for Aaron, who is he that you should grumble against him?”
Derfor, du og alle dine Tilhængere, som har rottet eder sammen mod HERREN, hvad er Aron, at I vil knurre mod ham!«
12 Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come!
Da sendte Moses Bud efter Datan og Abiram, Eliabs Sønner, men de sagde: »Vi kommer ikke!
13 Is it not enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? Must you also appoint yourself as ruler over us?
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!
14 Moreover, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? No, we will not come!”
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!«
15 Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, “Do not regard their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”
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!«
16 And Moses said to Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow—you and they and Aaron.
Og Moses sagde til Kora: »I Morgen skal du og alle dine Tilhængere komme frem for HERRENS Aasyn sammen med Aron;
17 Each man is to take his censer, place incense in it, and present it before the LORD—250 censers. You and Aaron are to present your censers as well.”
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!«
18 So each man took his censer, put fire and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
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;
19 When Korah had gathered his whole assembly against them at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole congregation.
og Kora kaldte hele Menigheden sammen imod dem ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet. Da kom HERRENS Herlighed til Syne for hele Menigheden,
20 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
21 “Separate yourselves from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.”
»Skil eder ud fra denne Menighed, saa vil jeg i et Nu tilintetgøre den!«
22 But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with the whole congregation?”
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?«
23 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
24 “Tell the congregation to move away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
»Tal til Menigheden og sig: Fjern eder fra Pladsen omkring Koras, Datans og Abirams Bolig!«
25 So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
Moses gik nu hen til Datan og Abiram, fulgt af Israels Ældste,
26 And he warned the congregation, “Move away now from the tents of these wicked men. Do not touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”
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!«
27 So they moved away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Meanwhile, Dathan and Abiram had come out and stood at the entrances to their tents with their wives and children and infants.
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.
28 Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things, for it was not my own doing:
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:
29 If these men die a natural death, or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.
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;
30 But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them and all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt.” (Sheol h7585)
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)
31 As soon as Moses had finished saying all this, the ground beneath them split open,
Og straks, da han havde talt alle disse Ord, aabnede Jorden sig under dem,
32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households—all Korah’s men and all their possessions.
og Jorden lukkede sit Gab op og slugte dem og deres Boliger og alle Mennesker, der tilhørte Kora, og alt, hvad de ejede;
33 They went down alive into Sheol with all they owned. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
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)
34 At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The earth may swallow us too!”
Men hele Israel, der stod omkring dem, flygtede ved deres Skrig, thi de sagde: »Blot ikke Jorden skal opsluge os!«
35 And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.
Og Ild for ud fra HERREN og fortærede de 250 Mænd, der frembar Røgelse.
36 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
37 “Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the censers from the flames and to scatter the coals far away, because the censers are holy.
»Sig til Eleazar, Præsten Arons Søn, at han skal tage Panderne ud af Branden og strø Gløderne ud noget derfra; thi hellige
38 As for the censers of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, hammer them into sheets to overlay the altar, for these were presented before the LORD, and so have become holy. They will serve as a sign to the Israelites.”
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.«
39 So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned up, and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar,
Da tog Præsten Eleazar Kobberpanderne, som de opbrændte Mænd havde frembaaret, og hamrede dem ud til. Overtræk paa Alteret
40 just as the LORD commanded him through Moses. This was to be a reminder to the Israelites that no outsider who is not a descendant of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the LORD, lest he become like Korah and his followers.
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.
41 The next day the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”
Men Dagen efter knurrede hele Israels Menighed mod Moses og Aron og sagde: »Det er eder, der har, dræbt HERRENS Folk!«
42 But when the congregation gathered against them, Moses and Aaron turned toward the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared.
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.
43 Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting,
Da traadte Moses og Aron hen foran Aabenbaringsteltet,
44 and the LORD said to Moses,
og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
45 “Get away from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.” And Moses and Aaron fell facedown.
»Fjern eder fra denne Menighed, saa vil jeg i et Nu tilintetgøre dem!« Da faldt de paa deres Ansigt,
46 Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, place fire from the altar in it, and add incense. Go quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, because wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has begun.”
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!«
47 So Aaron took the censer as Moses had ordered and ran into the midst of the assembly. And seeing that the plague had begun among the people, he offered the incense and made atonement for the people.
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.
48 He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was halted.
Og som han stod der midt imellem døde og levende, hørte Plagen op.
49 But those who died from the plague numbered 14,700, in addition to those who had died on account of Korah.
Men de, der omkom ved Plagen, udgjorde 14 700 Mennesker foruden dem, der omkom for Koras Skyld.
50 Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, since the plague had been halted.
Saa vendte Aron tilbage til Moses ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet, efter at Plagen var ophørt.
