Numbers 16
1 Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi tried to take over leadership, along with Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On, son of Peleth, who were from the tribe of Reuben.
茲にレビの子コハテの子イヅハルの子なるコラおよびルベンの子等なるエリアブの子ダタンとアビラム並にペレテの子オン等相結び
2 They rebelled against Moses, and were joined by 250 well-respected Israelite leaders and members of the assembly.
イスラエルの子孫の會衆の中に選まれて牧伯となれるところの名ある人々二百五十人とともに起てモーセに逆らふ
3 They joined together in opposition to Moses and Aaron, telling them, “You've taken too much power for yourselves! Every one of the Israelites is holy, and the Lord is among them. So why do you set yourselves above the Lord's assembly?”
すなはち彼等集りてモーセとアロンに逆ひ之に言けるは汝らはその分を超ゆ會衆みな盡く聖者となりてヱホバその中に在すなるに汝ら尚ヱホバの會衆の上に立つや
4 When Moses heard what they were saying, he fell facedown on the ground.
モーセこれを聞て俯伏たりしが
5 Then he told Korah and all those with him, “In the morning the Lord is going to make it clear who is his and who is holy, and allow that person to approach him. He will only allow whoever he chooses to approach him.
やがてコラとその一切の黨類に言けるは明日ヱホバ己の所屬は誰聖者は誰なるかを示して其者を己に近かせたまはん即ちその選びたまへる者を己に近かせたまふべし
6 This is what you, Korah, and everyone with you are going to do. Take some incense burners,
汝等かく爲よコラとその黨類よ汝等みな火盤を取り
7 and tomorrow put incense in them and set it on fire in the presence of the Lord. Then the man the Lord chooses is the one who is holy. It is you Levites who are taking too much power for yourselves!”
その中に火をいれその中に香を盛て明日ヱホバの前に至れその時ヱホバの選みたまふ人は聖者たるべしレビの人々よ汝等はその分を超るなり
8 Moses also told Korah, “Listen, you Levites!
モーセまたコラに言けるは汝等レビの子等よ請ふ聽け
9 Do you think it's something insignificant that the God of Israel chose you from all the other Israelites and allowed you to approach him and carry out the work in the Lord's Tabernacle, to stand before the Israelites and serve them?
イスラエルの神汝らをイスラエルの會衆の中より分ち己に近かせてヱホバの幕屋の役事を爲しめ會衆の前に立て之にかはりて勤務をなさしめたまふ是あに汝らにとりて小き事ならんや
10 He has allowed you the privilege of approaching him, Korah, you and all the other Levites, but now you want to have the priesthood as well!
神すでに汝と汝の兄弟なるレビの兒孫等を己に近かせたまふに汝らまた祭司とならんことをも求むるや
11 So in reality you and those who have joined you are fighting against the Lord—because who is Aaron that you should complain about him?”
汝と汝の黨類は皆これがために集りてヱホバに敵するなりアロンを如何なる者として汝等これに對ひて呟くや
12 Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they replied, “We're not going to appear before you!
かくてモーセ、エリアブの子ダタンとアビラムを呼に遣はしけるに彼等いひけるは我等は上り往じ
13 Haven't you done enough by taking us away from a land flowing with milk and honey in order to kill us out here in the desert? Do you have to make yourself a dictator as well, someone to rule us?
汝は乳と蜜との流るる地より我らを導き出して曠野に我らを殺さんとす是あに小き事ならんや然るに汝また我等の上に君たらんとす
14 On top of that you haven't taken us to a land flowing with milk and honey or given us fields and vineyards to own. Do you really think you can fool everyone? No, we will not attend!”
且また汝は我らを乳と蜜との流るる地にも導きゆかずまた田畝をも葡萄園をも我らに與へて有たしめず汝この人々の目を抉りとらんとするや我等は上りゆかじ
15 Moses got really angry and said to the Lord, “Don't accept their offerings. I have never taken even a donkey from them or treated any of them badly.”
是においてモーセおほいに怒りヱホバに申しけるは汝かれらの禮物を顧みたまふ勿れ我はかれらより驢馬一匹をも取しことなくまた彼等を一人も害せしこと無し
16 Moses told Korah, “You and all those who have joined you must appear before the Lord tomorrow—all of you and Aaron too.
斯てモーセ、コラに言けるは汝と汝の黨類みなアロンと偕に明日ヱホバの前に至れ
17 Each one will take his incense burner, put incense in it, and offer it before the Lord. All 250 of you will use your incense burners and Aaron will as well.”
即ち汝らおのおの火盤を執てその中に香を盛り各人その火盤をヱホバの前に携へいたれその火祭は都合二百五十汝とアロンも各々その火盤を携へいたるべしと
18 So each one took his incense burner, put incense in it, set it on fire, and stood together with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
彼等すなはち各々火盤を執り火をその中にいれて香をその上に盛りモーセおよびアロンとともに集會の幕屋の門に立り
19 When Korah had gathered all his rebellious group at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the Lord's glory appeared before the whole congregation.
コラ會衆をことごとく集會の幕屋の門に集めおきてかれら二人に敵せしめんとせしにヱホバの榮光全會衆に顯れ
20 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
ヱホバ、モーセとアロンに告て言たまひけるは
21 “Step away from these Israelites and I will destroy them right away.”
汝等この會衆を離れよ我これを直に滅さんとすと
22 But Moses and Aaron fell facedown on the ground said, “God—God of everything that lives—when it's just one man who sins, do you have to be angry with the everybody?”
是においてかれら二人俯伏て言ふ神よ一切の血肉ある者の生命の神よこの一人の者罪を犯したればとて汝全會衆にむかひて怒を發したまふや
23 Then the Lord told Moses,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
24 “Tell the people to move away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
汝會衆にむかひてコラとダタンとアビラムの居所の周圍を去れと言へと
25 So Moses went over to Dathan and Abiram, and the Israelite elders of Israel followed him.
モーセすなはち起あがりてダタンとアビラムの所に往けるがイスラエルの長老等これに從がひいたれり
26 He ordered the people, “Move away from the tents of these wicked men and don't touch anything that belongs to them, otherwise you will be destroyed along with them in all their sins.”
而してモーセ會衆に告て言けるは汝らこの惡き人々の天幕を離れて去れ彼等の物には何にも捫る勿れ恐くは彼らの諸の罪のために汝らも滅ぼされん
27 The people moved away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrances to their tents along with their wives, children and little ones.
是において人々はコラとダタンとアビラムの居所を離れて四方に去ゆけりまたダタンとアビラムはその妻子ならびに幼兒とともに出てその天幕の門に立り
28 Moses said, “This is how you will know that the Lord did send me to carry out everything I've done, for it wasn't anything I thought up.
モーセやがて言けるは汝等ヱホバがこの諸の事をなさせんとて我を遣したまへる事また我がこれを自分の心にしたがひて行ふにあらざる事を是によりて知べし
29 If these men die a natural death, experiencing the destiny of every human being, then the Lord didn't sent me.
すなはちこの人々もし一般の人の死るごとくに死に一般の人の罰せらるる如くに罰せられなばヱホバわれを遣したまはざるなり
30 But if the Lord does something totally different, and the earth opens up and swallows them down along with everything that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have acted with contempt to the Lord.” (Sheol h7585)
然どヱホバもし新しき事を爲たまひ地その口を開きてこの人々と之に屬する者を呑つくして生ながら陰府に下らしめなばこの人々はヱホバを瀆ししなりと汝ら知るべし (Sheol h7585)
31 Immediately Moses finished saying all this the ground under the rebels split apart,
モーセこの一切の言をのべ終れる時かれらの下なる土裂け
32 and the earth opened up and swallowed them and their households down, as well as everyone who was there with Korah and everything that belonged to them.
地その口を開きてかれらとその家族の者ならびにコラに屬する一切の男等と一切の所有品を呑つくせり
33 They went down alive into Sheol with all that they had. The earth closed over them, and they were no more. (Sheol h7585)
すなはち彼等とかれらに屬する者はみな生ながら陰府に下りて地その上に閉ふさがりぬ彼等かく會衆の中より滅ぼされたりしが (Sheol h7585)
34 When they heard their cries, all the Israelites nearby ran away, shouting, “Watch out! The earth could swallow us too!”
その周圍に居たるイスラエル人は皆かれらの叫喊を聞て逃はしり恐くは地われらをも呑つくさんと言り
35 Fire burst out from the Lord and burned up the 250 men who were offering incense.
且またヱホバの許より火いでてかの香をそなへたる者二百五十人を燒つくせり
36 Then the Lord said to Moses,
時にヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
37 “Tell Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, to collect the holy incense burners from among those who have been burned up, and scatter the coals used for the incense well away from the camp.
汝祭司アロンの子エレアザルに告てその燃る火の中より彼の火盤を取いださしめその中の火を遠方に傾すてよその火盤は聖なりたればなり
38 Have the incense burners of those who sinned at the expense of their own lives hammered into metal sheets as a covering for the altar, because they were offered before the Lord, and so have become holy. They will be a reminder to Israelites of what happened.”
而してその罪を犯して生命を喪へる者等の火盤は之を濶き展版となして祭壇を包むに用ひよ彼等ヱホバの前にそなへしに因て是は聖なりたればなり斯是はイスラエルの子孫に徴と爲べし
39 So Eleazar the priest collected the bronze incense burners used by those who had been burned up, and had them hammered out as a covering for the altar,
是において祭司エンアザル彼の燒死されし者等が用ひてそなへたる銅の火盤を取いだしければ之を濶く打展し之をもて祭壇を包み
40 following the instructions given to him from the Lord through Moses. This was to remind the Israelites that no one who is not a descendant of Aaron should come and offer incense before the Lord, otherwise they could end up like Korah and those with him.
之をイスラエルの子孫の記念の物と爲り是はアロンの子孫たらざる外人が近りてヱホバの前に香を焚こと無らんため亦かかる人ありてコラとその黨類のごとくにならざらん爲なり是みなヱホバがモーセをもて彼にのたまひし所に依るなり
41 The next day all the Israelites complained to Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the Lord's people!”
その翌日イスラエルの子孫の會衆みなモーセとアロンにむかひて呟き汝等はヱホバの民を殺せりと言り
42 But as the people gathered to confront them, Moses and Aaron went over to the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the Lord's glory appeared.
會衆集りてモーセとアロンに敵する時集會の幕屋を望み觀に雲ありてこれを覆ひヱホバの榮光顯れをる
43 Moses and Aaron went and stood at the front of the Tent of Meeting,
時にモーセとアロン集會の幕屋の前にいたりけるに
44 and the Lord said to Moses,
ヱホバ、モーせに言たまひけるは
45 “Get away from these people and I will finish them off immediately.” Moses and Aaron fell facedown on the ground.
汝らこの會衆をはなれて去れ我直にこれをほろぼさんとすと是において彼等二人は俯伏ぬ
46 Moses told Aaron, “Put some coals from the altar and some incense in your incense burner. Then run to the people and make them right before the Lord, for the Lord is angry with them and a plague has started.”
斯てモーセ、アロンに言けるは汝火盤を執り壇の火を之にいれ香をその上に盛て速かにこれを會衆の中に持ゆき之がために贖罪を爲せ其はヱホバ震怒を發したまひて疫病すでに始りたればなりと
47 Aaron took the incense burner just as Moses had told him and ran into the middle of the assembly. He saw that the plague had started to affect the people so he offered the incense and made the people right with the Lord.
アロンすなはちモーセの命ぜしごとくに之を執て會衆の中に奔ゆきけるに疫病すでに民の中に始まり居たれば香を焚て民のために贖罪を爲し
48 He stood between those who had died and those who were still alive, and the plague was stopped.
旣に死る者と尚生る者との間に立ければ疫病止まれり
49 However, 14,700 died from the plague in addition to those who'd died because of Korah.
コラの事によりて死たる者の外この疫病に死たる者は一萬四千七百人なりき
50 Then Aaron went back to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting because the plague had been stopped.
而してアロンはモーセの許にかへり集會の幕屋の門にいたれり疫病は斯やみぬ
