Numbers 16
1 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;
Korah anak Yizhar dari kaum Kehat, suku Lewi, memberontak terhadap Musa. Ia didukung oleh tiga orang dari suku Ruben, yaitu Datan dan Abiram anak-anak Eliab, dan On anak Pelet, dan oleh 250 orang pemimpin terkenal yang dipilih oleh rakyat.
2 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 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?
Mereka bersama-sama pergi menghadap Musa dan Harun dan berkata, "Cukuplah itu, Musa! Seluruh umat Israel dikhususkan untuk TUHAN, dan TUHAN ada di tengah-tengah kita sekalian. Tetapi mengapa engkau menganggap dirimu lebih tinggi dari umat TUHAN?"
4 When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.
Mendengar itu, Musa sujud di tanah dan berdoa kepada TUHAN.
5 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.
Lalu ia berkata kepada Korah dan pengikut-pengikutnya, "Besok pagi TUHAN akan menunjukkan kepada kita siapa kepunyaan-Nya, dan siapa yang dikhususkan bagi-Nya. Orang yang dipilih-Nya akan diperbolehkan-Nya mendekati Dia.
6 This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his band,
Besok pagi engkau dan para pengikutmu harus mengambil tempat-tempat api, mengisinya dengan bara api dan dupa, dan membawanya ke mezbah. Baiklah kita lihat nanti siapa di antara kita yang telah dipilih TUHAN. Cukuplah itu, hai orang-orang Lewi!"
7 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 And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!
Selanjutnya Musa berkata kepada Korah, "Dengarlah, hai orang-orang Lewi!
9 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?
Apakah kamu pikir ini soal kecil bahwa Allah Israel memilih kamu dari antara orang-orang Israel supaya kamu boleh mendekati Dia, dan bertugas di Kemah-Nya, serta bekerja untuk umat Israel dan melayani mereka?
10 — that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also?
Kau, Korah, dan semua orang Lewi sudah mendapat kehormatan itu dari TUHAN--dan sekarang kamu menuntut untuk menjadi imam juga!
11 For which cause thou and all thy band are banded together against Jehovah; and Aaron, who is he that ye murmur against him?
Jika engkau dengan pengikut-pengikutmu mengomel terhadap Harun, sesungguhnya kamu melawan TUHAN!"
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up!
Lalu Musa menyuruh memanggil Datan dan Abiram, tetapi mereka berkata, "Kami tak mau datang!
13 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?
Belum cukupkah engkau membawa kami keluar dari tanah Mesir yang subur itu untuk membunuh kami di padang gurun ini? Haruskah engkau memerintah kami juga?
14 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!
Sesungguhnya engkau tidak membawa kami ke tanah yang subur, atau memberi kami ladang-ladang dan kebun-kebun anggur menjadi milik pusaka kami! Sekarang engkau mau menipu kami! Tidak, kami tidak mau datang!"
15 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.
Musa marah sekali dan berkata kepada TUHAN, "TUHAN, janganlah menerima persembahan mereka. Tak pernah saya merugikan seorang pun dari mereka; bahkan seekor keledai pun tak pernah saya ambil dari mereka."
16 And Moses said to Korah, Be thou and all thy band before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow.
Lalu kata Musa kepada Korah, "Datanglah besok ke Kemah TUHAN bersama ke-250 pengikutmu. Harun juga akan ada di sana. Kamu harus membawa tempat apimu masing-masing. Taruhlah dupa di dalamnya, lalu persembahkanlah kepada TUHAN."
17 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 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.
Maka setiap orang mengambil tempat apinya, mengisinya dengan bara api dan dupa, lalu berdiri di pintu Kemah TUHAN bersama Musa dan Harun.
19 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.
Kemudian Korah mengumpulkan seluruh umat dan mereka berdiri berhadapan dengan Musa dan Harun di pintu Kemah TUHAN. Tiba-tiba seluruh umat melihat cahaya kemilau TUHAN.
20 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun,
21 Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment.
"Mundurlah dari orang-orang itu; Aku mau membinasakan mereka sekarang juga."
22 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?
Tetapi Musa dan Harun sujud menyembah dan berkata, "Ya Allah, Engkaulah yang memberi kehidupan kepada segala yang hidup. Kalau hanya seorang saja yang berdosa, apakah Engkau marah kepada seluruh umat?"
23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
24 Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
"Suruhlah orang-orang menyingkir dari kemah-kemah Korah, Datan dan Abiram."
25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
Lalu Musa dengan diiringi para pemimpin Israel, pergi ke tempat Datan dan Abiram.
26 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.
Musa berkata kepada orang-orang Israel, "Menyingkirlah dari kemah orang-orang jahat ini dan jangan menyentuh apa pun dari milik mereka. Kalau kamu tidak menurut, kamu akan dibinasakan bersama mereka karena dosa-dosa mereka."
27 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.
Lalu orang-orang Israel itu menyingkir dari kemah-kemah Korah, Datan dan Abiram. Datan dan Abiram sudah keluar dan sedang berdiri di pintu kemah masing-masing, dengan anak istri mereka.
28 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:
Lalu Musa berkata, "Dengan ini kamu akan tahu bahwa TUHAN telah mengutus saya untuk melakukan semuanya ini dan bahwa itu bukan kemauan saya sendiri.
29 if these men die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah has not sent me;
Kalau orang-orang itu mati dengan cara biasa, tanpa hukuman apa-apa dari Allah, itulah tandanya TUHAN tidak mengutus saya.
30 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)
Tetapi kalau TUHAN melakukan sesuatu yang belum pernah kamu dengar selama ini, dan kalau tanah terbelah untuk menelan mereka beserta segala milik mereka, sehingga mereka masuk hidup-hidup ke dalam dunia orang mati, tahulah kamu bahwa orang-orang itu melawan TUHAN." (Sheol h7585)
31 And it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these words, that the ground clave apart that was under them.
Segera sesudah Musa selesai berbicara, tanah di bawah kaki mereka terbelah,
32 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.
dan menelan mereka dengan keluarga mereka serta semua pengikut Korah, dan segala harta benda mereka.
33 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)
Maka terjerumuslah mereka hidup-hidup ke dalam dunia orang mati dengan segala yang mereka miliki. Tanah yang terbelah itu menutup kembali dan mereka hilang lenyap ditelan bumi. (Sheol h7585)
34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up!
Semua orang Israel yang ada di situ melarikan diri ketika mendengar mereka berteriak, "Lari! Nanti kita ditelan bumi!"
35 And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense.
Lalu TUHAN mendatangkan api yang menghanguskan ke-250 orang yang mempersembahkan dupa itu.
36 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
37 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,
"Suruhlah Eleazar anak Imam Harun mengangkat tempat-tempat api dari sisa-sisa kebakaran itu dan menghamburkan abu arangnya ke tempat lain, sebab tempat api itu adalah suci. Barang-barang itu ialah persembahan orang-orang yang telah dihukum mati karena dosanya. Barang-barang itu suci karena telah dipersembahkan di hadapan TUHAN, sebab itu harus ditempa menjadi lempeng-lempeng tipis untuk lapisan luar mezbah. Hal itu akan merupakan peringatan bagi bangsa Israel."
38 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 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:
Maka Imam Eleazar mengambil tempat-tempat api itu dan menyuruh orang menempanya menjadi lempeng-lempeng tipis untuk lapisan luar mezbah.
40 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.
Itu merupakan peringatan bagi bangsa Israel bahwa selain keturunan Harun, tidak seorang pun boleh datang ke mezbah untuk membakar dupa bagi TUHAN. Orang yang melanggar peraturan itu akan dibinasakan seperti Korah dan pengikut-pengikutnya. Semuanya itu dilaksanakan seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada Eleazar melalui Musa.
41 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.
Keesokan harinya seluruh umat Israel marah-marah terhadap Musa dan Harun. Mereka berkata, "Kamu sudah membunuh umat TUHAN."
42 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.
Sedang mereka berkumpul melawan Musa dan Harun, mereka menoleh ke Kemah TUHAN, dan melihat awan menutupi Kemah itu, lalu tampaklah cahaya kehadiran TUHAN.
43 And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.
Musa dan Harun pergi ke muka Kemah TUHAN,
44 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
45 Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.
"Mundurlah dari orang-orang itu. Aku akan membinasakan mereka di tempat itu juga!" Mereka berdua sujud menyembah,
46 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.
lalu Musa berkata kepada Harun, "Ambillah tempat apimu, isilah dengan bara api dari mezbah dan taruh dupa di atasnya. Bawalah cepat kepada umat dan buatlah upacara pengampunan dosa untuk mereka. Cepat! Kemarahan TUHAN sudah berkobar dan wabah sudah mulai."
47 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.
Harun melakukan apa yang dikatakan Musa. Ia lari ke tengah-tengah umat yang sedang berkumpul dan sudah mulai kena wabah. Maka Harun menaruh dupa di atas bara api, dan melakukan upacara penghapusan dosa untuk umat.
48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Wabah itu berhenti, dan Harun ada di antara orang-orang yang masih hidup dan yang sudah mati.
49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah.
Yang mati pada waktu itu ada 14.700 orang, tidak termasuk mereka yang mati dalam pemberontakan Korah.
50 And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.
Setelah wabah itu berhenti, Harun kembali kepada Musa di pintu Kemah TUHAN.
