< Numbers 16 >

1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men;
وَأَخَذَ قُورَحُ بْنُ يِصْهَارَ بْنِ قَهَاتَ بْنِ لَاوِي، وَدَاثَانُ وَأَبِيرَامُ ٱبْنَا أَلِيآبَ، وَأُونُ بْنُ فَالَتَ، بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ،١
2 and they rose up in face of Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty men; they were princes of the congregation, the elect men of the assembly, men of renown;
يُقَاوِمُونَ مُوسَى مَعَ أُنَاسٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ مَدْعُوِّينَ لِلِٱجْتِمَاعِ ذَوِي ٱسْمٍ.٢
3 and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them: 'Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them; wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?'
فَٱجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَقَالُوا لَهُمَا: «كَفَاكُمَا! إِنَّ كُلَّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ بِأَسْرِهَا مُقَدَّسَةٌ وَفِي وَسَطِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ. فَمَا بَالُكُمَا تَرْتَفِعَانِ عَلَى جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟».٣
4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مُوسَى سَقَطَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ.٤
5 And he spoke unto Korah and unto all his company, saying: 'In the morning the LORD will show who are His, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near unto Him; even him whom He may choose will He cause to come near unto Him.
ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ قُورَحَ وَجَمِيعَ قَوْمِهِ قَائِلًا: «غَدًا يُعْلِنُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَنْ هُوَ لَهُ، وَمَنِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسُ حَتَّى يُقَرِّبَهُ إِلَيْهِ. فَٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ يُقَرِّبُهُ إِلَيْهِ.٥
6 This do: take you censors, Korah, and all his company;
اِفْعَلُوا هَذَا: خُذُوا لَكُمْ مَجَامِرَ. قُورَحُ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَتِهِ.٦
7 and put fire therein, and put incense upon them before the LORD to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy; ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.'
وَٱجْعَلُوا فِيهَا نَارًا، وَضَعُوا عَلَيْهَا بَخُورًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ غَدًا. فَٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ هُوَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسُ. كَفَاكُمْ يَا بَنِي لَاوِي!».٧
8 And Moses said unto Korah: 'Hear now, ye sons of Levi:
وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِقُورَحَ: «ٱسْمَعُوا يَا بَنِي لَاوِي.٨
9 is it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them;
أَقَلِيلٌ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَفْرَزَكُمْ مِنْ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيُقَرِّبَكُمْ إِلَيْهِ لِكَيْ تَعْمَلُوا خِدْمَةَ مَسْكَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَتَقِفُوا قُدَّامَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ لِخِدْمَتِهَا؟٩
10 and that He hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and will ye seek the priesthood also?
فَقَرَّبَكَ وَجَمِيعَ إِخْوَتِكَ بَنِي لَاوِي مَعَكَ، وَتَطْلُبُونَ أَيْضًا كَهَنُوتًا!١٠
11 Therefore thou and all thy company that are gathered together against the LORD —; and as to Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?'
إِذَنْ أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَتِكَ مُتَّفِقُونَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. وَأَمَّا هَارُونُ فَمَا هُوَ حَتَّى تَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَيْهِ؟»١١
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said: 'We will not come up;
فَأَرْسَلَ مُوسَى لِيَدْعُوَ دَاثَانَ وَأَبِيرَامَ ٱبْنَيْ أَلِيآبَ. فَقَالَا: «لَا نَصْعَدُ!١٢
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, but thou must needs make thyself also a prince over us?
أَقَلِيلٌ أَنَّكَ أَصْعَدْتَنَا مِنْ أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا لِتُمِيتَنَا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ حَتَّى تَتَرَأَسَ عَلَيْنَا تَرَؤُّسًا؟١٣
14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards; wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.'
كَذَلِكَ لَمْ تَأْتِ بِنَا إِلَى أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، وَلَا أَعْطَيْتَنَا نَصِيبَ حُقُولٍ وَكُرُومٍ. هَلْ تَقْلَعُ أَعْيُنَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْقَوْمِ؟ لَا نَصْعَدُ!».١٤
15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD: 'Respect not Thou their offering; I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.'
فَٱغْتَاظَ مُوسَى جِدًّا وَقَالَ لِلرَّبِّ: «لَا تَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى تَقْدِمَتِهِمَا. حِمَارًا وَاحِدًا لَمْ آخُذْ مِنْهُمْ، وَلَا أَسَأْتُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ».١٥
16 And Moses said unto Korah: 'Be thou and all thy congregation before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow;
وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِقُورَحَ: «كُنْ أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَتِكَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَنْتَ وَهُمْ وَهَارُونُ غَدًا،١٦
17 and take ye every man his fire-pan, and put incense upon them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his fire-pan, two hundred and fifty fire-pans; thou also, and Aaron, each his fire-pan.'
وَخُذُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِجْمَرَتَهُ، وَٱجْعَلُوا فِيهَا بَخُورًا، وَقَدِّمُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِجْمَرَتَهُ. مِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ مِجْمَرَةً. وَأَنْتَ وَهَارُونُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِجْمَرَتَهُ».١٧
18 And they took every man his fire-pan, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
فَأَخَذُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِجْمَرَتَهُ وَجَعَلُوا فِيهَا نَارًا وَوَضَعُوا عَلَيْهَا بَخُورًا، وَوَقَفُوا لَدَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ مَعَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ.١٨
19 And Korah assembled all the congregation against them unto the door of the tent of meeting; and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
وَجَمَعَ عَلَيْهِمَا قُورَحُ كُلَّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ إِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، فَتَرَاءَى مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ لِكُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ.١٩
20 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا:٢٠
21 'Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.'
«ٱفْتَرِزَا مِنْ بَيْنِ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنِّي أُفْنِيهِمْ فِي لَحْظَةٍ».٢١
22 And they fell upon their faces, and said: 'O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt Thou be wroth with all the congregation?'
فَخَرَّا عَلَى وَجْهَيْهِمَا وَقَالَا: «ٱللَّهُمَّ، إِلَهَ أَرْوَاحِ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَشَرِ، هَلْ يُخْطِئُ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ فَتَسْخَطَ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ؟»٢٢
23 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:٢٣
24 'Speak unto the congregation, saying: Get you up from about the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'
«كَلِّمِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةَ قَائِلًا: ٱطْلَعُوا مِنْ حَوَالَيْ مَسْكَنِ قُورَحَ وَدَاثَانَ وَأَبِيرَامَ».٢٤
25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
فَقَامَ مُوسَى وَذَهَبَ إِلَى دَاثَانَ وَأَبِيرَامَ، وَذَهَبَ وَرَاءَهُ شُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٢٥
26 And he spoke unto the congregation, saying: 'Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be swept away in all their sins.'
فَكَلَّمَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةَ قَائِلًا: «ٱعْتَزِلُوا عَنْ خِيَامِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْبُغَاةِ، وَلَا تَمَسُّوا شَيْئًا مِمَّا لَهُمْ لِئَلَّا تَهْلَكُوا بِجَمِيعِ خَطَايَاهُمْ».٢٦
27 So they got them up from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side; and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
فَطَلَعُوا مِنْ حَوَالَيْ مَسْكَنِ قُورَحَ وَدَاثَانَ وَأَبِيرَامَ، وَخَرَجَ دَاثَانُ وَأَبِيرَامُ وَوَقَفَا فِي بَابِ خَيْمَتَيْهِمَا مَعَ نِسَائِهِمَا وَبَنِيهِمَا وَأَطْفَالِهِمَا.٢٧
28 And Moses said: 'Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works, and that I have not done them of mine own mind.
فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «بِهَذَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي لِأَعْمَلَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَعْمَالِ، وَأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ مِنْ نَفْسِي.٢٨
29 If these men die the common death of all men, and be visited after the visitation of all men, then the LORD hath not sent Me.
إِنْ مَاتَ هَؤُلَاءِ كَمَوْتِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَأَصَابَتْهُمْ مَصِيبَةُ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ، فَلَيْسَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي.٢٩
30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the ground open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down alive into the pit, then ye shall understand that these men have despised the LORD.' (Sheol h7585)
وَلَكِنْ إِنِ ٱبْتَدَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِدْعَةً وَفَتَحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ فَاهَا وَٱبْتَلَعَتْهُمْ وَكُلَّ مَا لَهُمْ، فَهَبَطُوا أَحْيَاءً إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْقَوْمَ قَدِ ٱزْدَرَوْا بِٱلرَّبِّ». (Sheol h7585)٣٠
31 And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground did cleave asunder that was under them.
فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِكُلِّ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، ٱنْشَقَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَهُمْ،٣١
32 And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
وَفَتَحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ فَاهَا وَٱبْتَلَعَتْهُمْ وَبُيُوتَهُمْ وَكُلَّ مَنْ كَانَ لِقُورَحَ مَعَ كُلِّ ٱلْأَمْوَالِ،٣٢
33 So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit; and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
فَنَزَلُوا هُمْ وَكُلُّ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ أَحْيَاءً إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، وَٱنْطَبَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْأَرْضُ، فَبَادُوا مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ. (Sheol h7585)٣٣
34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said: 'Lest the earth swallow us up.'
وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُمْ هَرَبُوا مِنْ صَوْتِهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «لَعَلَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ تَبْتَلِعُنَا».٣٤
35 And fire came forth from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
وَخَرَجَتْ نَارٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَكَلَتِ ٱلْمِئَتَيْنِ وَٱلْخَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا ٱلَّذِينَ قَرَّبُوا ٱلْبَخُورَ.٣٥
36 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:٣٦
37 'Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the fire-pans out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are become holy;
«قُلْ لِأَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ ٱلْمَجَامِرَ مِنَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ، وَٱذْرِ ٱلنَّارَ هُنَاكَ فَإِنَّهُنَّ قَدْ تَقَدَّسْنَ.٣٧
38 even the fire-pans of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar — for they are become holy, because they were offered before the LORD — that they may be a sign unto the children of Israel.'
مَجَامِرَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْمُخْطِئِينَ ضِدَّ نُفُوسِهِمْ، فَلْيَعْمَلُوهَا صَفَائِحَ مَطْرُوقَةً غِشَاءً لِلْمَذْبَحِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ قَدَّمُوهَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فَتَقَدَّسَتْ. فَتَكُونُ عَلَامَةً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».٣٨
39 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen fire-pans, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,
فَأَخَذَ أَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ مَجَامِرَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي قَدَّمَهَا ٱلْمُحْتَرِقُونَ، وَطَرَقُوهَا غِشَاءً لِلْمَذْبَحِ،٣٩
40 to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no common man, that is not of the seed of Aaron, draw near to burn incense before the LORD; that he fare not as Korah, and as his company; as the LORD spoke unto him by the hand of Moses.
تَذْكَارًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِكَيْ لَا يَقْتَرِبَ رَجُلٌ أَجْنَبِيٌّ لَيْسَ مِنْ نَسْلِ هَارُونَ لِيُبَخِّرَ بَخُورًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَيَكُونَ مِثْلَ قُورَحَ وَجَمَاعَتِهِ، كَمَا كَلَّمَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى.٤٠
41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying: 'Ye have killed the people of the LORD.'
فَتَذَمَّرَ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَنْتُمَا قَدْ قَتَلْتُمَا شَعْبَ ٱلرَّبِّ».٤١
42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting; and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
وَلَمَّا ٱجْتَمَعَتِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ ٱنْصَرَفَا إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ وَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ غَطَّتْهَا ٱلسَّحَابَةُ وَتَرَاءَى مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ.٤٢
43 And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
فَجَاءَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ إِلَى قُدَّامِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.٤٣
44 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:٤٤
45 'Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.' And they fell upon their faces.
«اِطْلَعَا مِنْ وَسَطِ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ، فَإِنِّي أُفْنِيهِمْ بِلَحْظَةٍ». فَخَرَّا عَلَى وَجْهَيْهِمَا.٤٥
46 And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Take thy fire-pan, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from the LORD: the plague is begun.'
ثُمَّ قَالَ مُوسَى لِهَارُونَ: «خُذِ ٱلْمِجْمَرَةَ وَٱجْعَلْ فِيهَا نَارًا مِنْ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، وَضَعْ بَخُورًا، وَٱذْهَبْ بِهَا مُسْرِعًا إِلَى ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَكَفِّرْ عَنْهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّخَطَ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. قَدِ ٱبْتَدَأَ ٱلْوَبَأُ».٤٦
47 And Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people; and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
فَأَخَذَ هَارُونُ كَمَا قَالَ مُوسَى، وَرَكَضَ إِلَى وَسَطِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ، وَإِذَا ٱلْوَبَأُ قَدِ ٱبْتَدَأَ فِي ٱلشَّعْبِ. فَوَضَعَ ٱلْبَخُورَ وَكَفَّرَ عَنِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.٤٧
48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
وَوَقَفَ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَوْتَى وَٱلْأَحْيَاءِ فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْوَبَأُ.٤٨
49 Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.
فَكَانَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِٱلْوَبَإِ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا وَسَبْعَ مِئَةٍ، عَدَا ٱلَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِسَبَبِ قُورَحَ.٤٩
50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tent of meeting, and the plague was stayed.
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ هَارُونُ إِلَى مُوسَى إِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ وَٱلْوَبَأُ قَدِ ٱمْتَنَعَ.٥٠
