Numbers 16
1 And Core the son of Isaar the son of Caath the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron, sons of Eliab, and Aun the son of Phaleth the son of Ruben, spoke;
利未的曾孙、哥辖的孙子、以斯哈的儿子可拉，和吕便子孙中以利押的儿子大坍、亚比兰，与比勒的儿子安，
2 and rose up before Moses, and two hundred and fifty men of the sons of Israel, chiefs of the assembly, chosen councillors, and men of renown.
并以色列会中的二百五十个首领，就是有名望选入会中的人，在摩西面前一同起来，
3 They rose up against Moses and Aaron, and said, Let it be enough for you that all the congregation [are] holy, and the Lord [is] amongst them; and why do you set up yourselves against the congregation of the Lord?
聚集攻击摩西、亚伦，说：“你们擅自专权！全会众个个既是圣洁，耶和华也在他们中间，你们为什么自高，超过耶和华的会众呢？”
4 And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face.
摩西听见这话就俯伏在地，
5 And he spoke to Core and all his assembly, saying, God has visited and known those that are his and who are holy, and has brought them to himself; and whom he has chosen for himself, he has brought to himself.
对可拉和他一党的人说：“到了早晨，耶和华必指示谁是属他的，谁是圣洁的，就叫谁亲近他；他所拣选的是谁，必叫谁亲近他。
6 This do you: take to yourselves censers, Core and all his company;
可拉啊，你们要这样行，你和你的一党要拿香炉来。
7 and put fire on them, and put incense on them before the Lord to-morrow; and it shall come to pass that the man whom the Lord has chosen, he shall be holy: let it be enough for you, you sons of Levi.
明日，在耶和华面前，把火盛在炉中，把香放在其上。耶和华拣选谁，谁就为圣洁。你们这利未的子孙擅自专权了！”
8 And Moses said to Core, Listen to me, you sons of Levi.
摩西又对可拉说：“利未的子孙哪，你们听我说！
9 Is it a little thing for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, and brought you near to himself to minister in the services of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the tabernacle to minister for them?
以色列的 神从以色列会中将你们分别出来，使你们亲近他，办耶和华帐幕的事，并站在会众面前替他们当差。
10 And he has brought you near and all your brethren the sons of Levi with you, and do you seek to be priests also?
耶和华又使你和你一切弟兄—利未的子孙—一同亲近他，这岂为小事？你们还要求祭司的职任吗？
11 Thus [it is with] you and all your congregation which is gathered together against God: and who is Aaron, that you murmur against him?
你和你一党的人聚集是要攻击耶和华。亚伦算什么，你们竟向他发怨言呢？”
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not go up.
摩西打发人去召以利押的儿子大坍、亚比兰。他们说：“我们不上去！
13 Is it a little thing that you have brought us up to a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, [and] that you altogether rule over us?
你将我们从流奶与蜜之地领上来，要在旷野杀我们，这岂为小事？你还要自立为王辖管我们吗？
14 You are a prince, and have you brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and have you given us an inheritance of land and vineyards? would you have put out the eyes of those men? we will not go up.
并且你没有将我们领到流奶与蜜之地，也没有把田地和葡萄园给我们为业。难道你要剜这些人的眼睛吗？我们不上去！”
15 And Moses was exceeding indignant, and said to the Lord, Do you take no heed to their sacrifice: I have not taken away the desire of any one of them, neither have I hurt any one of them.
摩西就甚发怒，对耶和华说：“求你不要享受他们的供物。我并没有夺过他们一匹驴，也没有害过他们一个人。”
16 And Moses said to Core, Sanctify your company, and be ready before the Lord, you and Aaron and they, to-morrow.
摩西对可拉说：“明天，你和你一党的人，并亚伦，都要站在耶和华面前；
17 And take each man his censer, and you shall put incense upon them, and shall bring each one his censer before the Lord, two hundred and fifty censers, and you and Aaron shall bring each his censer.
各人要拿一个香炉，共二百五十个，把香放在上面，到耶和华面前。你和亚伦也各拿自己的香炉。”
18 And each man took his censer, and they put on them fire, and laid incense on them; and Moses and Aaron stood by the doors of the tabernacle of witness.
于是他们各人拿一个香炉，盛上火，加上香，同摩西、亚伦站在会幕门前。
19 And Core raised up against them all his company by the door of the tabernacle of witness; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.
可拉招聚全会众到会幕门前，要攻击摩西、亚伦；耶和华的荣光就向全会众显现。
20 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
21 Separate your selves from the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them at once.
“你们离开这会众，我好在转眼之间把他们灭绝。”
22 And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of spirits and of all flesh, if one man has sinned, [shall] the wrath of the Lord [be] upon the whole congregation?
摩西、亚伦就俯伏在地，说：“神，万人之灵的 神啊，一人犯罪，你就要向全会众发怒吗？”
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
24 Speak to the congregation, saying, Depart from the company of Core round about.
“你吩咐会众说：‘你们离开可拉、大坍、亚比兰帐棚的四围。’”
25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiron, and all the elders of Israel went with him.
摩西起来，往大坍、亚比兰那里去；以色列的长老也随着他去。
26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Separate yourselves from the tents of these stubborn men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, lest you be consumed with them in all their sin.
他吩咐会众说：“你们离开这恶人的帐棚吧，他们的物件，什么都不可摸，恐怕你们陷在他们的罪中，与他们一同消灭。”
27 And they stood aloof from the tent of Core round about; and Dathan and Abiron went forth and stood by the doors of their tents, and their wives and their children and their store.
于是众人离开可拉、大坍、亚比兰帐棚的四围。大坍、亚比兰带着妻子、儿女、小孩子，都出来，站在自己的帐棚门口。
28 And Moses said, Hereby shall you know that the Lord has sent me to perform all these works, that [I have] not [done them] of myself.
摩西说：“我行的这一切事本不是凭我自己心意行的，乃是耶和华打发我行的，必有证据使你们知道。
29 If these men shall die according to the death of all men, if also their visitation shall be according to the visitation of all men, then the Lord has not sent me.
这些人死若与世人无异，或是他们所遭的与世人相同，就不是耶和华打发我来的。
30 But if the Lord shall show by a wonder, and the earth shall open her mouth and swallow them up, and their houses, and their tents, and all that belongs to them, and they shall go down alive into Hades, then you shall know that these men have provoked the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
倘若耶和华创作一件新事，使地开口，把他们和一切属他们的都吞下去，叫他们活活地坠落阴间，你们就明白这些人是藐视耶和华了。” (Sheol h7585)
31 And when he ceased speaking all these words, the ground clave asunder beneath them.
摩西刚说完了这一切话，他们脚下的地就开了口，
32 And the ground opened, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that were with Core, and their cattle.
把他们和他们的家眷，并一切属可拉的人丁、财物，都吞下去。
33 And they went down and all that they had, alive into Hades; and the ground covered them, and they perished from the midst of the congregation. (Sheol h7585)
这样，他们和一切属他们的，都活活地坠落阴间；地口在他们上头照旧合闭，他们就从会中灭亡。 (Sheol h7585)
34 And all Israel round about them fled from the sound of them, for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also].
在他们四围的以色列众人听他们呼号，就都逃跑，说：“恐怕地也把我们吞下去。”
35 And fire went forth from the Lord, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
又有火从耶和华那里出来，烧灭了那献香的二百五十个人。
36 And the Lord said to Moses,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
37 and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, Take up the brazen censers out of the midst of the men that have been burnt, and scatter the strange fire yonder, for they have sanctified the censers
“你吩咐祭司亚伦的儿子以利亚撒从火中捡起那些香炉来，把火撒在别处，因为那些香炉是圣的。
38 of these sinners against their own souls, and do you make them beaten plates a covering to the altar, because they were brought before the Lord and hallowed; and they became a sign to the children of Israel.
把那些犯罪、自害己命之人的香炉，叫人锤成片子，用以包坛。那些香炉本是他们在耶和华面前献过的，所以是圣的，并且可以给以色列人作记号。”
39 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest took the brazen censers, which the men who had been burnt brought near, and they put them as a covering on the altar:
于是祭司以利亚撒将被烧之人所献的铜香炉拿来，人就锤出来，用以包坛，
40 a memorial to the children of Israel that no stranger might draw near, who is not of the seed of Aaron, to offer incense before the Lord; so he shall not be as Core and as they that conspired with him, as the Lord spoke to him by the hand of Moses.
给以色列人作纪念，使亚伦后裔之外的人不得近前来在耶和华面前烧香，免得他遭可拉和他一党所遭的。这乃是照耶和华借着摩西所吩咐的。
41 And the children of Israel murmured the next day against Moses and Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of the Lord.
第二天，以色列全会众都向摩西、亚伦发怨言说：“你们杀了耶和华的百姓了。”
42 And it came to pass when the congregation combined against Moses and Aaron, that they ran impetuously to the tabernacle of witness; and the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
会众聚集攻击摩西、亚伦的时候，向会幕观看，不料，有云彩遮盖了，耶和华的荣光显现。
43 And Moses and Aaron went in, in front of the tabernacle of witness.
摩西、亚伦就来到会幕前。
44 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
耶和华吩咐摩西说：
45 Depart out of the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them at once: and they fell upon their faces.
“你们离开这会众，我好在转眼之间把他们灭绝。”他们二人就俯伏于地。
46 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a censer, and put on it fire from the altar, and put incense on it, and carry it away quickly into the camp, and make atonement for them; for wrath is gone forth from the presence of the Lord, it has begun to destroy the people.
摩西对亚伦说：“拿你的香炉，把坛上的火盛在其中，又加上香，快快带到会众那里，为他们赎罪；因为有忿怒从耶和华那里出来，瘟疫已经发作了。”
47 And Aaron took as Moses spoke to him, and ran amongst the congregation, for already the plague had begun amongst the people; and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
亚伦照着摩西所说的拿来，跑到会中，不料，瘟疫在百姓中已经发作了。他就加上香，为百姓赎罪。
48 And he stood between the dead and the living, and the plague ceased.
他站在活人死人中间，瘟疫就止住了。
49 And they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those that died on account of Core.
除了因可拉事情死的以外，遭瘟疫死的，共有一万四千七百人。
50 And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of witness, and the plague ceased.
亚伦回到会幕门口，到摩西那里，瘟疫已经止住了。
