Numbers 16
1 Then, behold, Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and also On the son of Peleth, of the sons of Ruben,
Te phoeiah Levi koca Kohath kah a ca Izhar capa Korah, Eliab ca rhoi Dathan neh Abiram, Reuben koca Peleth capa On te a khuen.
2 rose up against Moses, with two hundred fifty others of the sons of Israel, leading men of the assembly, and who, at the time of a council, would be called by name.
Te phoeiah Israel ca lamloh hlang yahnih sawmnga, hlang kah tingtunnah khuikah ming aka thang, rhaengpuei khoboeirhoek neh Moses mikhmuh ah tlai uh.
3 And when they had stood against Moses and Aaron, they said: “Let it be sufficient for you that the entire multitude is of holy ones, and that the Lord is among them. Why do you elevate yourselves above the people of the Lord?”
Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah tingtun uh tih amih rhoi taengah, “Rhaengpuei boeih ham nangmih rhoi te rhoekoe aih. Amihte boeih cim uh tih amih lakli taengah BOEIPA om ta. Balaetih BOEIPA kah hlangping soahna palawh uh rhoi,” a ti uh.
4 When Moses had heard this, he fell prone on his face.
Tedae Mosesloh a yaak vaengah a maelhmai dongah buekuep.
5 And speaking to Korah, and to the entire multitude, he said: “In the morning, the Lord will cause it to be known who belongs to him, and which holy ones he will join to himself. And whomever he will choose, they shall be close to him.
Te phoeiah Korah taeng neh a hlangboel boeih taengah, “Mincangah BOEIPA amah taengkah neh hlangcim te mingpha bitni. A taenglaa moe vaengah amah hama coelh te ni anih taengaha moe pa eh.
6 Therefore, do this: Each one of you, Korah and all your associates, take your censer,
He he saii uh lamtah Korah neh a hlangboel boeih aw, baelphaihte namamih ham lo uh.
7 and drawing fire into it tomorrow, place incense upon it before the Lord. And whomever he will choose, the same shall be holy. You sons of Levi have been raised up greatly.”
Terhoek dongah hmai khueh lamtah te nente BOEIPA mikhmuh ah bo-ul tawn pah. Thangvuenah khaw BOEIPA kah a coelh hlang om bitni. Anihte Levi koca nangmih taengah muep cim ngawn,” a ti nah.
8 And he said again to Korah: “Listen, sons of Levi.
Moses loh Korah te akhue tih, “Levi koca hnatun uh mai.
9 Is it a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from all the people, and has joined you to himself, so that you would serve him in the rituals of the tabernacle, and stand before gatherings of the people, and minister to him?
Israel Pathen loh nangmih te Israel rhaengpuei taeng lamloh amah taengla khuen ham, BOEIPA dungtlungim kah thohtatnah dongah thohtat ham, rhaengpuei mikhmuh kah aka thotat te pai puei ham nangmih n'hoep te nangmih hama mailai a?
10 Was the reason that he caused you and all your brothers, the sons of Levi, to approach him, so that you would even claim for yourselves the priesthood too,
Nang neh na manuca boeih, na taengkah Levi koca rhoek m'mop lalah khosoihbina hue bal pueng.
11 and so that your entire group would stand against the Lord? For what is Aaron that you should murmur against him?”
Te dongah nang neh na hlangboel boeih loh BOEIPAna tuentah thil uh. A taengaha nul la na nul uh ham akhaw Aaronte mebang nim?” a ti nah.
12 Therefore, Moses sent to call for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, who responded: “We will not come.
Te phoeiah Eliab koca Dathan neh Abiram te khue ham Mosesloh a tah.
13 Is it a small matter to you, that you have led us away from a land that was flowing with milk and honey, so as to kill us in the desert, unless you could also be a ruler over us?
Tedae, “Ka cet uh mahpawh, khosoek ah kaimih duek sak ham suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen lamloh kaimih n'caeh puei tea mailai a? Kaimih soahna boei lana boei van.
14 You have led us, it is true, to a land that flows with streams of milk and honey, and you have given us possession of fields and vineyards. But will you also tear out our eyes? We will not come.”
Suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen la kaimih nang khuen pawt bueng kolla khohmuen neh misurdum khaw kaimih ham rho nan paek loela he. Hlangte a mikna koeih aya? Ka lo uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
15 And Moses, being very angry, said to the Lord: “Do not look with favor on their sacrifices. You know that I have not accepted from them, at any time, so much as a young donkey, nor have I afflicted any of them.”
Te vaengah Moses te sai khungdaeng tih BOEIPA taengah, “Amih kah khocang taengla mael boeh, amih lamkah laak pakhat pataeng ka khuen pawt tih amih soah pakhat khaw ka thae moenih a ti nah.
16 And he said to Korah: “You and your congregation, stand alone before the Lord, and apart from Aaron, tomorrow.
Te phoeiah Moses loh Korah te, “Namah neh na hlangboel boeih aw, thangvuen ah tah namah khaw, amih khaw Aaron khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah om uh.
17 Let each one of you take censers, and place incense in them, offering to the Lord two hundred fifty censers. Let Aaron also hold his censer.”
Hlang loh amah baelphaih khuen saeh lamtah a khuiah bo-ul khueh pah. Te vaengah hlang kah a baelphaih khaw, nang neh Aaron kah khaw, khat rhip kah a baelphaihte baelphaih yahnih sawmnga la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah khuen pah,” a ti nah.
18 When they had done this, Moses and Aaron stood up,
Te dongah hlang tom loh a baelphaih te a loh tih a khuiah hmaia poep uh. Te soah bo-ula poep thil phoeiah tah tingtunnah dap thohka kah Moses neh Aaron taengah pai uh.
19 and, having crowded the entire multitude close to them at the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.
Tingtunnah dap thohka kah amih hmaiah Korah loh rhaengpuei boeih tea tingtun sak. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tah rhaengpuei boeih taengaha tueng pah.
20 And the Lord, speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron tea voek tih,
21 “Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, so that I may suddenly destroy them.”
He rhaengpuei khui lamloh tuiphih rhoi lamtah amihte mikhaptok ah ni ka khah eh?,” a ti nah.
22 But they fell prone on their faces, and they said, “O most strong One, the God of the spirits of all flesh, should your anger rage against all, for the sin of one?”
Tedae a maelhmai dongah bakop rhoi tih, “Pathen aw, pumsa cungkuem kah Mueihla Pathen aw, hlang pakhata tholh dongah rhaengpuei boeih taengahna thintoek mai,” a ti rhoi.
23 And the Lord said to Moses:
BOEIPA loh Moses tea voek tih,
24 “Instruct the entire people to separate from the tents of Korah, and Dathan, and Abiram.”
Rhaengpuei te voek lamtah thui pah. Korah, Dathan neh Abiram kah dungtlungim taeng kaepvai lamloh cet uh laeh,” a ti nah.
25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram. And the elders of Israel followed him,
Moseste thoo tih Israel kah a hamrhoek Dathan neh Abiram neh anih hnukah aka cetrhoek tea paan.
26 and he said to the crowd, “Withdraw from the tabernacles of these impious men, and touch nothing which pertains to them, lest you become involved in their sins.”
Rhaengpuei taengaha thui pah tih, “Halang hlang rhoek kah dap dong lamlong he nong uh laeh, amih taengkah boeih te tah ben uh boeh, amih kah tholh cungkuem dongahna khoengvoep uh ve,” a ti nah.
27 And when they had withdrawn from their tents all around, Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance of their pavilions, with their wives and children, and with all their associates.
Te dongah Korah, Dathan kah dungtlungim taeng lamkah neh Abiram kaepvai lamloh nong uh. Te vaengah amamih kah dap thohka ah aka pai Dathan neh Abiram tah a yuurhoek neh a carhoek khaw, camoe khaw ha moe uh.
28 And Moses said: “By this shall you know that the Lord has sent me to do all that you discern, and that I have not brought these things out of my own heart:
Te vaengah Moses loh, “He bitat cungkuem saii ham he kamah lungbuei lamkah pawt tih BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih khaw he nen he ming uh.
29 If these men pass away by the common death of men, or if they will be visited by a scourge, of a kind by which others are often visited, then the Lord did not send me.
Hlang cungkuema duek bangla herhoek duek tih hlang cungkuem aka cawhkung bangla amih neh cawh koinih BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih mahpawh.
30 But if the Lord accomplishes something new, so that the earth opens its mouth and swallows them whole, along with everything that belongs to them, and they descend alive into the underworld, then you shall know that they have blasphemed the Lord.” (Sheol h7585)
Tedae BOEIPA loh hnothaia suen tih diklai loh a kaa ang khaming. Te vaengah amamih neh amih taengkaha cungkuem te dolh saeh lamtaha hingnahte saelkhui la suntla uh saeh. Te vaengah he kah hlang rhoek loh BOEIPAa tlaitlaek uh tena ming uh bitni,” a ti nah. (Sheol h7585)
31 Therefore, as soon as he had ceased to speak, the earth broke open under their feet.
He ol cungkuema thui te a khah van neh diklaite a dang ueth coeng.
32 And opening its mouth, it devoured them with their tabernacles and their entire substance.
Te dongah diklai loh a kaa ang tih amih, Korah neh a im khaw, a hlang boeih neha khuehtawn boeih tea dolh pah.
33 And they descended alive, the ground closing around them, into the underworld, and they perished from the midst of the multitude. (Sheol h7585)
Amih neh amih taengkah boeihte saelkhui aha hinglaa suntlak uh phoeiah tah amih te diklailoh a et tih hlangping lakli lamloh milh uh. (Sheol h7585)
34 Yet truly, all of Israel, which was standing all around, took flight at the clamor of those who were perishing, saying, “Lest perhaps the earth may swallow us whole also.”
Te dongah amih kaepvai kah Israel pum long tah, “Diklai loh mamih n'dolh van ve,” a ti uh tih a ol neh rhaelrham uh.
35 Then, too, a fire, going forth from the Lord, put to death the two hundred fifty men who were offering the incense.
Te phoeiah hmaite BOEIPA taeng lamloh ha puek tih bo-ul aka nawn hlang yahnih sawmnga te hlawp.
36 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses tea voek tih,
37 “Instruct Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, to take up the censers which lie in the burning, and to scatter the fire to one side and another, because they were sanctified
“Khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar te thui pah. Baelphaih te ungkhang laklo lamloh koeih saeh lamtah hmai te khaw a ciim coeng dongah voelh thaek saeh.
38 in the deaths of these sinners. And let him form them into plates, and affix them to the altar, because incense had been offered in them to the Lord, and they were sanctified, and so that the sons of Israel may discern in them a sign and a memorial.”
Amih kah hinglu kongah he hlangtholh rhoek kah baelphaihrhoek he phaldaep la phal uh saeh lamtah hmueihtuk dongkaha ben ham khaw te te saii uh saeh. Te rhoek te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nawn uh saeh lamtah ciim uh saeh. Te vaengah Israel carhoek ham miknoek la om saeh,” a ti nah.
39 Therefore, Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, by which those whom the burning devoured had made an offering, and he formed them into plates, affixing them to the altar,
Te dongaha khuen uh tih aka ung tangtae rhohum baelphaih te khosoih Eleazara loh. Te phoeiah tete hmueihtuk dongkah ben ham a daep uh.
40 so that the sons of Israel would have, thereafter, something to admonish them, lest any stranger, or anyone who is not of the offspring of Aaron, might approach to offer incense to the Lord, and lest he endure what happened to Korah, and to all his congregation, when the Lord spoke to Moses.
Israel carhoek ham poekkoepnah la a om daengah ni Aaron tiingan lamkah mueh atah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah bo-ul phum ham kholong hlanga mop pawt eh. Te dongah BOEIPA Moses kut dongaha uen vanbangla Korah neh a hlangboel bang tah om boel saeh.
41 Then, the following day, the entire multitude of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: “You have put to death the people of the Lord.”
A vuen ah tah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeihte Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah nul tih, “BOEIPA kah pilnam te na duek sak rhoi,” a ti na uh.
42 And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
Tedae rhaengpuei loh Moses neh Aaron tea tingtun thil uh tih tingtunnah dap la mael uh. Te vaengah cingmai loh tarhaa thing tih BOEIPA kah thangpomnah khaw tueng.
43 Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. But after they had entered it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
Te daengah Moses neh Aaronte tingtunnah dap hmai la moe rhoi.
44 And the Lord said to Moses:
BOEIPA loh Moses tea voek tih,
45 “Withdraw from the midst of this multitude, and I will destroy them immediately.” And while they were lying on the ground,
“He rhaengpuei khui lamloh cungpet rhoi lamtah amih te mikhaptok ah ni ka khah eh?,” a ti nah. Te dongah a maelhmai neh bakop rhoi.
46 Moses said to Aaron: “Take the censer, and draw fire into it from the altar; place incense upon it, and continue on, quickly, to the people, to pray for them. For already wrath has gone forth from the Lord, and the scourge rages.”
Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron taengah, “Baelphaih te lo lamtah a khuiah hmueihtuk dongkah hmaina poep phoeiah bo-ul mop thil, rhaengpuei taengla tlek cet lamtah amih ham dawth pah. BOEIPA maelhmai dong lamloh thinhulnah ha thoengtih tlohthae ha tawn uh coeng,” a ti nah.
47 When Aaron had done this, and he had run into the midst of the multitude, which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense.
Te dongah Moses kah a thui bangla Aaronloh a loh tih hlangping khui la yong. Te vaengah tlohthae loh pilnam tarhaa phoei coeng. Tedae bo-ul tea phum tih pilnam hama dawth pah.
48 And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the scourge ceased.
Aka duek laklo neh aka hing laklo ah a pai vaengah lucik khaw cing.
49 But the number of those who were struck down was fourteen thousand men, and seven hundred, aside from those who had perished in the sedition of Korah.
Korah ol aha duek uh bueng kolla lucik ah aka duek rhoek he thawng hlai li ya rhih lo uh.
50 And Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, after the destruction quieted.
Lucika cing daengah Aaron khaw tingtunnah dap thohka kah Moses taengla mael.
