Numbers 16
1 Nowe Korah the sonne of Izhar, the sonne of Kohath, the sonne of Leui went apart with Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab, and On the sonne of Peleth, the sonnes of Reuben:
肋未的兒子刻哈特的後裔依茲哈爾的兒子客辣黑，和勒烏本的後裔厄里雅布的兩個兒子阿堂和阿彼蘭，並培肋特的兒子翁，
2 And they rose vp against Moses, with certaine of the children of Israel, two hundreth and fiftie captaines of the assemblie, famous in the Congregation, and men of renoume,
起來反抗梅瑟。此外，還有二百五十個以色列人，他們都是會眾的領袖，會議的要員，有名望的人。
3 Who gathered themselues together against Moses, and against Aaron, and sayde vnto them, Ye take too much vpon you, seeing all the Congregation is holie, euery one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherfore then lift ye your selues aboue the Congregation of the Lord?
他們團結起來反抗梅瑟和亞郎，對他們說：「你們太過份了! 全體會眾都是聖潔的人，上主也在他們中；為什麼你們卻抬舉自己在上主的集會以上﹖」
4 But when Moses heard it, hee fell vpon his face,
梅瑟一聽這話，就俯伏在地。
5 And spake to Korah and vnto all his companie, saying, To morow the Lord will shew who is his, and who is holy, and who ought to approche neere vnto him: and whom he hath chosen, hee will cause to come neere to him.
然後對科辣黑和他同黨的人說：「明天早上，上主會使人知道，誰是他的人，誰是聖者；他使誰親近自己：他許誰親近自己，誰就是他所選的人。
6 This doe therefore, Take you censers, both Korah, and all his companie,
你們應這樣做：科辣黑和他同黨的人啊! 你們要拿著火盤，
7 And put fire therein, and put incense in the before the Lord to morowe: and the man whome the Lord doeth chuse, the same shalbe holie: ye take too much vpon you, ye sonnes of Leui.
明天在盤裏放上火，在上主面前，添上乳香；上主揀選誰，誰就是聖者。肋未的子孫，你們太過份了! 」
8 Againe Moses saide vnto Korah, Heare, I pray you, ye sonnes of Leui.
梅瑟又對科辣黑說：「肋未的子孫，請聽我說：
9 Seemeth it a small thing vnto you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel, to take you neere to himselfe, to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the Congregation and to minister vnto them?
以色列的天主將你們與以色列會眾分開，使你們親近他，在上主帳幕內服務，站在會眾前頭代他們行禮，這為你們還不夠麼﹖
10 He hath also taken thee to him, and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with thee, and seeke ye the office of the Priest also?
他已使你和你所有的兄弟──肋未的子孫，親近他，你們還要貪求司祭之職麼﹖
11 For which cause, thou, and all thy companie are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmure against him?
其實你和你的同黨所共謀反抗的是上主；至於亞郎，他算什麼，你們竟抱怨他﹖
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab: who answered, We will not come vp.
梅瑟派人去叫厄里雅布的兒子達堂和阿彼蘭來；他們卻答說：「我們不去!
13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought vs out of a lande that floweth with milke and honie, to kill vs in the wildernesse, except thou make thy selfe lord and ruler ouer vs also?
你領我們由流奶流蜜的地方上來，叫我們死在曠野，這為你還不夠，你還想作王統治我們麼﹖
14 Also thou hast not brought vs vnto a land that floweth with milke and honie, neither giuen vs inheritance of fieldes and vineyardes: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come vp.
你並沒有領我們到了流奶流蜜的地方，也沒有給我們田地和葡萄園當產業啊! 你想剜出這些人的眼睛麼﹖我們不去! 」
15 Then Moses waxed verie angry, and saide vnto the Lord, Looke not vnto their offring: I haue not taken so much as an asse from them, neither haue I hurt any of them.
梅瑟遂大怒，對上主說：「你不要垂顧他們的祭獻；我沒有奪過他們一匹驢，也沒有損害過他們任何人。」
16 And Moses said vnto Korah, Bee thou and al thy companie before the Lord: both thou, they, and Aaron to morowe:
梅瑟對科辣黑說：「你和你一切同黨，明日要來到上主面前，就是你和他們，還有亞郎。
17 And take euery man his censor, and put incense in them, and bring ye euery man his censor before the Lord, two hundreth and fiftie censors: thou also and Aaron, euery one his censor.
你們各人要拿著自己的火盤，上面放上乳香；各人拿著自己的火盤到上主面前去，共二百五十個火盤；你和亞郎也各自拿著火盤。」
18 So they tooke euery man his censor, and put fire in them, and laide incense thereon, and stoode in the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation with Moses and Aaron.
他們每人於是都拿了火盤，上面放上火，添上乳香，同梅瑟和亞郎來到會幕門口。
19 And Korah gathered all the multitude against them vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: then the glorie of the Lord appeared vnto all the Congregation.
科辣黑召集了全會眾到會幕門口，來反抗梅瑟和亞郎。此時，上主的榮耀就顯現給全會眾。
20 And the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
上主對梅瑟和亞郎說：「
21 Separate your selues from among this Cogregation, that I may consume them at once.
你們快離開這會眾，我立刻要消滅他們。」
22 And they fell vpon their faces and saide, O God the God of the spirits, of all fleshe, hath not one man onely sinned, and wilt thou bee wroth with all the Congregation?
梅瑟和亞郎就俯伏在地說：「天主，賜給一切血肉生氣的天主! 一人犯罪，你就向全體的會眾發怒麼﹖」
23 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
上主回答梅瑟說：「
24 Speake vnto the Congregation and say, Get you away from about the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.
你訓示會眾說：你們離開科辣黑、達堂、和阿彼蘭帳幕的四周。」
25 Then Moses rose vp, and went vnto Dathan and Abiram, and the Elders of Israel followed him.
梅瑟就起來往達堂和阿彼蘭那裏去，以色列的長老也都隨著他去了。
26 And he spake vnto the Congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tentes of these wicked men, and touche nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sinnes.
他遂向會眾說：「你們要遠離這些惡人的帳幕! 凡是他們的東西你們不要動，免得你們為了他們的一切罪惡而遭滅絕。」
27 So they gate them away from the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram on euerie side: and Dathan, and Abiram came out and stood in the doore of their tentes with their wiues, and their sonnes, and their little children.
他們遂離開了科辣黑、達堂和阿彼蘭帳幕的四周；達堂和阿彼蘭同他們的妻子兒女和嬰孩出來，站在自己的帳幕門口。
28 And Moses saide, Hereby yee shall knowe that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works: for I haue not done them of mine owne minde.
梅瑟遂說：「因這件事，你們會知道，是上主派遣了我來做這一切，並不是出於我的本意：
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men, the Lord hath not sent me.
如果這些人如其他的人一樣死去，或者他們的遭遇如其他的人所遭遇的一樣，上主就沒有派遣了我；
30 But if the Lord make a newe thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallowe them vp with all that they haue, and they goe downe quicke into ye pit, then ye shall vnderstand that these men haue prouoked the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
但是，如果上主作了從未聽見過的事，令地裂開口，將他們和他們的一切都吞下去，使他們活活的下到陰府，你們就知道這些人拋棄了上主。」 (Sheol h7585)
31 And assoone as he had made an ende of speaking all these wordes, euen the ground claue asunder that was vnder them,
他一說完這些話，他們腳踏的地就裂開了；
32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them vp, with their families, and all the men that were with Korah, and all their goods.
地開了口，將他們和他們的家屬，以及凡屬科辣黑的人和所有的財物，都吞了下去。
33 So they and all that they had, went down aliue into the pit, and the earth couered them: so they perished from among the Congregation. (Sheol h7585)
他們和他們的一切，都活活的下了陰府；地在他們上面閉上口，他們遂由會眾中消滅了。 (Sheol h7585)
34 And all Israel that were about them, fled at the crie of them: for they said, Let vs flee, least the earth swalow vs vp.
他們四周所有的以色列人，一聽見他們尖叫聲，就都逃跑說：「怕地也吞沒了我們! 」
35 But there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundreth and fiftie men that offred the incense.
那時由上主那裏發出了烈火，吞噬了那二百五十個奉香的人。
36 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟說：
37 Speake vnto Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest, that he take vp the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire beyond the altar: for they are halowed,
「你吩咐司祭阿蘭的兒子厄肋阿匝爾，叫他將一切火盤從火堆中取去，把炭火散開，因為這一切都是聖的。
38 The censers, I say, of these sinners, that destroyed themselues: and let them make of them broade plates for a couering of the Altar: for they offered them before the Lord, therefore they shalbe holy, and they shall be a signe vnto the children of Israel.
以這些犯罪喪生者的火盤，打成薄片，用來包蓋祭壇，──因為奉獻在上主面前的火盤已成了聖的，──給以色列子民當作鑑戒」。
39 Then Eleazar the Priest tooke the brasen censers, which they, that were burnt, had offred, and made broade plates of them for a couering of the Altar.
厄肋阿匝爾司祭便取出那些被火燒死的人獻過的銅火盤，叫人打成薄片，為包蓋祭壇用，
40 It is a remembrance vnto the children of Israel, that no stranger which is not of the seede of Aaron, come neere to offer incense before the Lord, that he be not like Korah and his company, as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses.
為給以色列子民當作鑑戒，為叫凡不是出於亞郎子孫的俗人，不應前來在上主面前獻香，以免和科辣黑及他的同黨遭遇一樣的不幸。他全照上主藉梅瑟對他所吩咐的做了。
41 But on the morowe all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye haue killed the people of the Lord.
次日，以色列子民全會眾抱怨梅瑟和亞郎說：「正是你們害死了上主的人民」。
42 And when the Congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, then they turned their faces toward the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and beholde, the cloude couered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
當會眾集合反對梅瑟和亞郎時，你們二人人轉向會幕；看，雲彩遮蓋了會幕，上主的榮耀發顯了出來。
43 Then Moses and Aaron were come before the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
梅瑟和亞郎遂走到會幕面前，
44 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
上主吩咐梅瑟說：
45 Get you vp from among this Congregation: for I wil consume them quickly: then they fell vpon their faces.
「你們快離開這會眾，我要立即消滅他們」。他們遂俯伏在地，
46 And Moses said vnto Aaron, Take the censer and put fire therein of the Altar, and put therein incense, and goe quickly vnto the Congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord: the plague is begunne.
然後梅瑟向亞郎說：「你快拿火盤，由祭壇取火放在盤裏，添上乳香，快拿到會眾那裏去，為他們行贖罪禮，因為憤怒已由上主面前發出，災禍一個已經開始」。
47 Then Aaron tooke as Moses commanded him, and ranne into the middes of the Congregation, and beholde, the plague was begun among the people, and hee put in incense, and made an atonement for the people.
亞郎遂照梅瑟所吩咐的拿了火盤，急忙跑到會眾中；看，災禍已在人民中開始；他遂添上乳香，為人民行贖罪禮，
48 And when hee stoode betweene the dead, and them that were aliue, the plague was stayed.
站在死者和生者之中，直到災禍止息。
49 So they died of this plague fourtene thousande and seuen hundreth, beside them that dyed in the conspiracie of Korah.
在這次災禍中死了一萬四千七百，為科辣黑的緣故而死的人，還不在內。
50 And Aaron went againe vnto Moses before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the plague was stayed.
亞郎於是回到會幕門口梅瑟那裏，因為災禍已止息了。
