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;
Pea ko eni, naʻe kautaha ʻa Kola, ko e foha ʻo ʻIsa, ko e foha ia ʻo Kohate, ko e foha ia ʻo Livai, pea mo Tatani, mo ʻEpilami, ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻIliapi, pea mo ʻOni, ko e foha ʻo Peleti, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Lupeni:
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;
Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hake ʻi he ʻao ʻo Mōsese, fakataha mo e niʻihi ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe fakataha, ʻae toko uangeau mo e toko nimangofulu naʻe poto ʻi he fakakaukau ʻi he kakai, ko e kau tangata ongoongo:
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?
Pea naʻa nau fakataha ʻakinautolu kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, pea nau pehē kiate kinaua, “ʻOku lahi fau ʻa hoʻomo fie pule ʻamoua, he kuo māʻoniʻoni taki taha kotoa pē ʻae kakai, pea ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova: pea ko e hā te mo hiki hake ai ʻakimoua ke mo māʻolunga ʻi he kakai ʻa Sihova?”
4 When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻa Mōsese, naʻe tō fakafoʻohifo ia ki hono mata:
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.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kia Kola mo hono kakai kotoa pē, “ʻE fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻapongipongi ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻoʻona, pea mo ia ʻoku māʻoniʻoni; pea te ne tuku ia ke ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi kiate ia: ʻio, ko ia kuo ne fili te ne tuku ke ʻunuʻunu mai ki heʻene ʻafio.
6 This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his band,
Mou fai eni; Toʻo homou ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, ʻa Kola, mo hono kakai kotoa pē;
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!
Pea tuku ki ai ʻae afi, ʻo ʻai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala ki ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻapongipongi: pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko e tangata ʻe fili ki ai ʻa Sihova ko e māʻoniʻoni ia: ʻoku mou angahiki ʻaupito, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Livai.”
8 And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Kola, “ʻOku ou kole atu kiate kimoutolu ke mou fanongo mai, ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Livai:
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?
Ko e meʻa vaʻinga koā ia kiate kimoutolu ʻae fakamavae ʻe he ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ke ofi ki heʻene ʻafio ke mou fai ʻae ngāue, ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova, pea ke tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ke ngāue kiate kinautolu?
10 — that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also?
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi koe ke ofi ki heʻene ʻafio, pea mo ho kāinga ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Livai fakataha mo koe: pea ʻoku mou kumi foki ʻae ngāue fakataulaʻeiki?
11 For which cause thou and all thy band are banded together against Jehovah; and Aaron, who is he that ye murmur against him?
He ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻo hoʻomou fakataha ʻa koe mo ho kakai kia Sihova: pea ko hai ʻa ʻElone, ʻoku mou lāunga ai kiate ia?”
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up!
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ke ui ʻa Tatani mo ʻEpilami, ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻIliapi: ka naʻa na pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te ma ʻalu ange:
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?
He ko e meʻa siʻi hoʻo ʻomi ʻakimautolu mei he fonua ʻoku pito ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi, ke tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi he toafa, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke nofo koe ko e ʻeiki kiate kimautolu?
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!
Ka kuo ʻikai te ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki ha fonua ʻoku pito ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi, pe tuku kiate kimautolu ha tofiʻa ʻi he ngoue mo e ngoue vaine: te ke kapeʻi koā ʻae mata ʻoe kau tangata ni? ʻE ʻikai te ma ʻalu ange.”
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.
Pea naʻe tuputāmaki lahi ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne pehē kia Sihova, “ʻOua naʻa ke ʻafio ki heʻenau feilaulau: naʻe ʻikai te u faʻao ha ʻasi ʻe taha meiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fakamamahiʻi ha taha ʻiate kinautolu.”
16 And Moses said to Korah, Be thou and all thy band before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Kola, “Ko koe mo ho kakai ke mou ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻapongipongi, ʻa koe, mo kinautolu, pea mo ʻElone:
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.
pea ʻe taki taha ʻave ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, pea tuku ʻi ai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala, pea taki taha ʻomi ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko e ipu ʻaiʻanga afi ʻe uangeau ma nimangofulu; pea ko koe foki, mo ʻElone, te mo taki taha ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi.”
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.
Pea naʻe taki taha ʻave ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, pea naʻe tuku ʻae afi ki ai, pea tuku ki ai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala, pea naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai fakataha mo Mōsese mo ʻElone.
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.
Pea naʻe fakataha ʻe Kola ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate kinaua ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ki he kakai kotoa pē.
20 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,
21 Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment.
“Fakamavahe ʻakimoua mei he kakai ni, koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha leva ʻakinautolu.”
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?
Pea naʻa na tō ki hona mata, ʻo na pehē, “ʻE ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe laumālie ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, ʻe angahala ha tokotaha, pea te ke houhau ki he kakai kotoa pē?”
23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
24 Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
“Ke ke lea ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, Mou ʻalu atu ke ʻatā mei he fale fehikitaki ʻo Kola, mo Tatani, mo ʻEpilami.”
25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Mōsese ʻo ʻalu kia Tatani mo ʻEpilami; pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea naʻe lea ia ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, Mou hiki atu mei he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻoe kau tangata angahala ni, pea ʻoua naʻa mou ala ki haʻanau meʻa, telia naʻa mou ʻauha ʻi heʻenau angahala.”
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.
Ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu ai mei he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Kola, mo Tatani, mo ʻEpilami: pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Tatani mo ʻEpilami, pea na tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻo hona fale fehikitaki, pea mo hona uaifi mo hona ngaahi foha, pea mo ʻena fānau iiki.
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:
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Te mou ʻilo eni kuo fekau au ʻe Sihova ke u fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē; he ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ʻoʻoku.
29 if these men die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah has not sent me;
Kapau ʻe mate ʻae kau tangata ni ʻo hangē ko e mate ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea kapau ʻe hoko kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e hoko ki he kakai kotoa pē; pea tā kuo ʻikai fekau au ʻe Sihova.
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)
Pea kapau ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ha meʻa foʻou pea ʻe mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻoe kelekele, ʻo folo hifo ʻakinautolu, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu, pea nau ʻalu hifo fakafokifā pe ki he luo; te mou toki ʻilo ai kuo fakahouhauʻi ʻa Sihova ʻe he kau tangata ni.” (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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻa ʻene fakahā ʻae ngaahi lea ni, naʻe mafahi ʻae kelekele ʻi lalo ʻiate kinautolu:
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.
Pea naʻe mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻoe kelekele, ʻo folo hifo ʻakinautolu, mo honau ngaahi fale pea mo e kau tangata kotoa pē naʻe ʻia Kola, mo ʻenau koloa kotoa pē.
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)
Ko kinautolu, mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate kinautolu, naʻe ʻalu moʻui hifo ki he luo, pea naʻe mapuni ʻae kelekele kiate kinautolu: pea naʻa nau ʻauha mei he kakai. (Sheol h7585)
34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up!
Pea naʻe hola ʻi heʻenau tangi ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻiate kinautolu: he naʻa nau pehē, “Naʻa toe folo hifo ʻe he kelekele ʻakimautolu.”
35 And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae afi meia Sihova, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko uangeau ma toko nimangofulu naʻe feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ʻakau namu kakala.
36 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
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,
“Ke ke lea kia ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki, ke ne hiko hake ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi mei he afi, he kuo tapu ia; pea ke liʻaki ʻae afi ki hena.
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.
Ko e ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi ʻakinautolu ni kuo angahala ki honau laumālie, tuku kenau ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi teunga lafalafa laulahi ke ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga: he kuo nau feilaulau ʻaki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko ia kuo tapu ai ia; pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fakaʻilonga ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
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:
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi palasa, ʻaia naʻe feilaulau ʻaki ʻekinautolu kuo vela; pea naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi fono lafalafa laulahi ke ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga:
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.
Ke tuku ia ko e fakamanatu ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ofi mai ha muli, ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe hako ʻo ʻElone ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ʻakau namu kakala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; telia naʻa tatau ia mo Kola, pea mo hono kakai: ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.
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.
Pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoʻi naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mo tāmateʻi ʻae kakai ʻo Sihova.”
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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakataha ʻae kakai kia Mōsese pea mo ʻElone, naʻa nau sio ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea fokifā pe kuo ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae ʻao, pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova.
43 And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone ki he matafale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
44 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
45 Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.
“Mo ʻalu hake ʻi he kakai ni, koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha leva ʻakinautolu.” Pea naʻa na tō foʻohifo ki hona mata.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, “Toʻo ha ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, ʻo tuku ki ai ʻae afi mei he funga feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ʻai ki ai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala, pea ke ʻalu vave ki he kakai, ʻo fai ʻae fakalelei maʻanautolu: he kuo ʻalu atu ʻae houhau meia Sihova; pea kuo kamata ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻElone ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne lele ki he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai; pea vakai kuo kamata ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha ʻi he kakai: pea naʻa ne ʻai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala ki ai, ʻo ne fai ʻae fakalelei maʻanautolu.
48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe mate mo e moʻui; pea naʻe taʻofi ai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.
49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah.
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha ko e tokotaha mano mo e toko fā afe ma toko fitungeau, mo kinautolu naʻe mate ʻi he meʻa ʻa Kola.
50 And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.
Pea naʻe foki ʻa ʻElone kia Mōsese ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea naʻe taʻofi ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.
