Numbers 16
1 And behold Core the son of Isaar, the son of Caath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, and Hon the son of Pheleth of the children of Ruben,
Kora mwana wa Izihari, mwana wa Kohati, mwana wa Levi ndi Datani ndi Abiramu ana a Eliabu, pamodzi ndi Oni mwana wa Perezi, ana a Rubeni, anayamba kudzikuza,
2 Rose up against Moses, and with them two hundred and fifty others of the children of Israel, leading men of the synagogue, and who in the time of assembly were called by name.
ndipo anawukira Mose. Mʼgulu mwawo munali atsogoleri a Aisraeli 250, anthu otchuka amene anasankhidwa ndi anthu pa msonkhano.
3 And when they had stood up against Moses and Aaron, they said: Let it be enough for you, that all the multitude consisteth of holy ones, and the Lord is among them: Why lift you up yourselves above the people of the Lord?
Iwo anasonkhana kudzatsutsana ndi Mose ndi Aaroni nawawuza kuti, “Mwawonjeza! Anthu onsewa ndi oyera, aliyense wa iwo, ndipo Yehova ali pakati pawo. Chifukwa chiyani mukudzikuza pakati pa gulu lonse la Yehova?”
4 When Moses heard this, he fell flat on his face:
Mose atamva izi, anagwa chafufumimba.
5 And speaking to Core and all the multitude, he said: In the morning the Lord will make known who belong to him, and the holy he will join to himself: and whom he shall choose, they shall approach to him.
Ndipo iye anawuza Kora ndi anthu onse amene ankamutsatira kuti, “Yehova mawa mmawa adzasonyeza yemwe ndi wake ndiponso amene ndi woyera mtima. Munthuyo adzabwera pafupi ndi Iye. Munthu amene adzamusankheyo adzamusendeza pafupi.
6 Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company.
Iwe Kora pamodzi ndi onse amene akukutsatira chitani izi: Tengani zofukizira
7 And putting fire in them tomorrow, put incense upon it before the Lord: and whomsoever he shall choose, the same shall be holy: you take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
ndipo mawa muyikemo moto ndi lubani pamaso pa Yehova. Munthu amene Yehova amusankhe ndiye amene ali woyera. Alevi inu mwawonjeza kwambiri!”
8 And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi.
Mose anawuzanso Kora kuti, “Inu Alevi, tsopano tamverani!
9 Is it a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath spared you from all the people, and joined you to himself, that you should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and should stand before the congregation of the people, and should minister to him?
Kodi sizinakukwanireni kuti Mulungu wa Israeli anakupatulani pakati pa gulu lonse la Aisraeli ndi kukubweretsani pafupi ndi Iye, kuti muzigwira ntchito ku nyumba ya Yehova ndi kumayima pamaso pa gulu, kumatumikira?
10 Did he therefore make thee and all thy brethren the sons of Levi to approach unto him, that you should challenge to yourselves the priesthood also,
Wakubweretsa iwe pamodzi ndi Alevi anzako kufupi ndi Iye mwini. Koma tsopano ukufuna kutenganso unsembe.
11 And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?
Nʼkulakwira Yehova kuti iwe ndi gulu lako lonseli mwasonkhana kuti mutsutsane ndi Yehova. Kodi Aaroni ndani kuti muzikangana naye?”
12 Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.
Kenaka Mose anayitana Datani ndi Abiramu, ana aamuna a Eliabu koma iwo anati, “Sitibwera!
13 Is it a small matter to thee, that thou hast brought us out of a land that flowed with milk and honey, to kill us in the desert, except thou rule also like a lord over us?
Kodi sikukwanira kuti unatitulutsa, kutichotsa mʼdziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi kuti udzatiphe mʼchipululu muno? Kodi tsopano ukufunanso kutilemetsa?
14 Thou best brought us indeed into a land that floweth with rivers of milk and honey, and hast given us possessions of fields and vineyards; wilt thou also pull out our eyes? We will not come.
Kuwonjezera apo, sunatilowetse mʼdziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi kapena kutipatsa malo wolima ndi minda ya mpesa. Kodi ukufuna kuchotsa maso a anthuwa? Ayi, sitibwera!”
15 Moses therefore being very angry, raid to the Lord: Respect not their sacrifices: thou knowest that I have not taken of them so much as a young ass at any time, nor have injured any of them.
Pamenepo Mose anakwiya kwambiri ndipo anati kwa Yehova, “Musalandire chopereka chawo. Sindinatenge kalikonse kwa iwo ngakhale bulu, ndiponso sindinalakwire wina aliyense wa iwo.”
16 And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord tomorrow, and Aaron apart.
Mose anati kwa Kora, “Iwe ndi okutsatira onse mudzaonekere pamaso pa Yehova mawa, iweyo ndi iwowo pamodzi ndi Aaroni.
17 Take every one of you censers, and put incense upon them, offering to the Lord two hundred and fifty censers: let Aaron also hold his censer.
Munthu aliyense akatenge chofukizira ndi kuyikamo lubani, zofukizira 250 zonse pamodzi ndi kuzibweretsa pamaso pa Yehova. Iwe ndi Aaroni mudzabweretsenso zofukizira zanu.”
18 When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing,
Choncho munthu aliyense anatenga chofukizira chake nayikamo moto ndi lubani, ndipo anayima pamodzi ndi Mose ndi Aaroni pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
19 And had drawn up all the multitude against them to the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.
Kora atasonkhanitsa omutsatira ake onse amene amatsutsa nawo pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano, ulemerero wa Yehova unaonekera kwa gulu lonselo.
20 And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
Yehova anawuza Mose ndi Aaroni kuti,
21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them.
“Chokani pakati pa gulu ili kuti ndithetse mkanganowu kamodzinʼkamodzi.”
22 They fell flat on their face, and said: O most mighty, the God of the spirits of all flesh, for one man’s sin shall thy wrath rage against all?
Koma Mose ndi Aaroni anadzigwetsa chafufumimba ndipo analira mokweza, “Chonde Mulungu, Mulungu wa mizimu ya anthu onse, kodi mudzakwiyira gulu lonse pamene munthu mmodzi yekha ndiye amene wachimwa?”
23 And the Lord said to Moses:
Pamenepo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
24 Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron.
“Uza gulu lonse kuti, ‘Khalani kutali ndi matenti a Kora, Datani ndi Abiramu.’”
25 And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following him,
Mose anayimirira napita kwa Datani, Abiramu ndi kwa akuluakulu a Israeli amene ankamutsatira.
26 He said to the multitude: Depart from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be involved in their sins.
Anachenjeza gulu lonse kuti, “Khalani kutali ndi matenti a anthu oyipawa! Musakhudze kanthu kawo kalikonse, mukatero mudzawonongedwa limodzi nawo chifukwa cha machimo awo.”
27 And when they were departed from their tents round about, Dathan and Abiron coming out stood in the entry of their pavilions with their wives and children, and all the people.
Choncho anthuwo anachokadi ku matenti a Kora, Datani ndi Abiramu. Datani ndi Abiramu anali atatuluka nayima pamodzi ndi akazi awo, ana awo ndi makanda awo pa makomo a matenti awo.
28 And Moses said: By this you shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all things that you see, and that I have not forged them of my own head:
Tsono Mose anati, “Umu ndi mmene mudzadziwire kuti Yehova ndiye amene anandituma kuti ndichite zinthu zonsezi ndipo kuti si maganizo anga.
29 If these men die the common death of men, and if they be visited with a plague, wherewith others also are wont to be visited, the Lord did not send me.
Ngati anthu awa afa ndi imfa ya chilengedwe ndi kuwachitikira zomwe zimachitikira munthu aliyense, ndiye kuti Yehova sananditume.
30 But if the Lord do a new thing, and the earth opening her mouth swallow them down, and all things that belong to them, and they go down alive into hell, you shall know that they have blasphemed the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
Koma Yehova akachita china chake chachilendo, nthaka nitsekula pakamwa pake ndi kuwameza iwo pamodzi ndi zonse zimene ali nazo, iwowa nʼkulowa mʼmanda ali moyo, pamenepo mudzazindikira kuti anthu amenewa ananyoza Yehova.” (Sheol h7585)
31 And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet:
Atangotsiriza kuyankhula zimenezi, nthaka ya pamene anayimapo inagawikana
32 And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance.
ndipo dziko linatsekula pakamwa pake ndi kuwameza pamodzi ndi nyumba zawo ndi anthu onse a Kora ndi katundu wawo yense.
33 And they went down alive into hell the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people. (Sheol h7585)
Analowa mʼmanda amoyo pamodzi ndi zonse zimene anali nazo. Nthaka inawatsekera ndi kuwawononga ndipo sanaonekenso. (Sheol h7585)
34 But all Israel, that was standing round about, fled at the cry of them that were perishing: saying: Lest perhaps the earth swallow us up also.
Atamva kulira kwawo, Aisraeli onse amene anali pafupi ndi anthuwo anathawa akufuwula kuti, “Nthaka imezanso ife!”
35 And a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
Ndipo moto wochokera kwa Yehova unabwera nʼkunyeketsa anthu 250 amene ankapereka nsembe yofukiza aja.
36 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
37 Command Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers that lie in the burning, and to scatter the fire of one side and the other: because they are sanctified
“Uza Eliezara mwana wa Aaroni, wansembe kuti atenge zofukizirazo pakati pa mitembo yopsererayo ndipo amwazire makalawo kutali chifukwa zofukizirazo nʼzopatulika.
38 In the deaths of the sinners: and let him beat them into plates, and fasten them to the altar, because incense hath been offered in them to the Lord, and they are sanctified, that the children of Israel may see them for a sign and a memorial.
Izi ndi zofukizira za anthu omwe anafa chifukwa cha uchimo wawo. Musule zofukizirazo kuti zikhale zophimbira pa guwa lansembe, chifukwa zinaperekedwa kwa Yehova ndipo ndi zopatulika. Zimenezi zikhale chizindikiro kwa Aisraeli.”
39 Then Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherein they had offered, whom the burning fire had devoured, and beat them into plates, fastening them to the altar:
Choncho Eliezara, wansembe, anasonkhanitsa zofukizira zamkuwa zija zomwe anthu opsererawo anabwera nazo ndipo anazisula kuti zikhale zophimbira pa guwa lansembe,
40 That the children of Israel might have for the time to come wherewith they should be admonished, that no stranger or any one that is not of seed of Aaron should come near to offer incense to the Lord, lest he should suffer as Core suffered, and all his congregation, according as the Lord spoke to Moses.
monga momwe Yehova anamulangizira kudzera mwa Mose. Chimenechi chinali chikumbutso kwa Aisraeli kuti munthu wina aliyense, kupatula zidzukulu za Aaroni, sayenera kupsereza lubani pamaso pa Yehova, kuopa kuti munthu woteroyo angakhale ngati Kora ndi omutsatira ake.
41 The following day all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: You have killed the people of the Lord.
Tsiku lotsatira, gulu lonse la Aisraeli linatsutsana ndi Mose ndi Aaroni. Iwo anati, “Inu mwapha anthu a Yehova.”
42 And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
Koma pamene anthuwo anasonkhana kuti atsutsane ndi Mose ndi Aaroni, atatembenuka kuyangʼana ku tenti ya msonkhano, mwadzidzidzi mtambo unaphimba tentiyo ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unaonekera.
43 Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when the were gone into it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
Pamenepo Mose ndi Aaroni anapita patsogolo pa tenti ya msonkhano ija
44 And the Lord said to Moses:
ndipo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
45 Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground,
“Chokani pakati pa gulu la anthuwa kuti ndiwawononge kamodzinʼkamodzi.” Ndipo iwo anagwa pansi chafufumimba.
46 Moses said to Aaron: Take the censer, and putting fire in it from the altar, put incense upon it, and go quickly to the people to pray for them: for already wrath is gone out from the Lord, and the plague rageth.
Kenaka Mose anawuza Aaroni kuti, “Tenga chofukizira chako ndipo ikamo lubani pamodzi ndi moto wochokera pa guwa lansembe, fulumira, pita pa gulu la anthuwo ndipo ukachite nsembe yopepesera machimo awo popeza mkwiyo wa Yehova wafika, mliri wayamba.”
47 When Aaron had done this, and had run to the midst of the multitude which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense:
Ndipo Aaroni anachita monga ananenera Mose, nathamangira mʼkatikati mwa gulu la anthuwo. Pamenepo nʼkuti mliri utayamba kale pakati pa anthu aja ndipo Aaroni anafukiza lubani ndi kupereka nsembe yopepesera machimo awo.
48 And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.
Iye anayimirira pakati pa anthu amoyo ndi akufa ndipo mliri unaleka.
49 And the number of them that were slain was fourteen thousand and seven hundred men, besides them that had perished in the sedition of Core.
Komabe anthu 14, 700 anafa ndi mliriwo, kuwonjezera pa aja amene anafa chifukwa cha Kora.
50 And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over.
Ndipo Aaroni anabwerera kwa Mose ku khomo la tenti ya msonkhano, chifukwa mliriwo unali utatha.
