Numbers 16
1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
Og Kora, en Søn af Jizehar, der var en Søn af Kahat, Levi Søn, tog til sig baade Dathan og Abiram, Eliabs Sønner, og On, Peleths Søn, Rubens Børn.
2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:
Og de stode op for Mose Ansigt tillige med to Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Mænd af Israels Børn, Menighedens Fyrster, udnævnte blandt Forsamlingen, navnkundige Mænd.
3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, You take too much on you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: why then lift you up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
Og de samlede sig imod Mose og Aron, og de sagde til dem: Lader det være eder nok! thi den ganske Menighed er allesammen hellige, og Herren er midt iblandt dem, og hvi ophøje I eder over Herrens Menighed?
4 And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face:
Der Mose hørte det, da faldt han paa sit Ansigt.
5 And he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near to him: even him whom he has chosen will he cause to come near to him.
Og han talte til Kora og alt hans Selskab, sigende: I Morgen skal Herren give til Kende, hvo hans er, og den, som hellig er, og den, han skal lade komme nær til sig; og hvem han udvælger, den skal han lade komme nær til sig.
6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
Gører dette: Tager eder Ildkar, Kora og alt hans Selskab!
7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD does choose, he shall be holy: you take too much on you, you sons of Levi.
Og lægger Ild i dem og lægger Røgelse paa dem for Herrens Ansigt i Morgen, og det skal ske, hvilken Mand Herren udvælger, han er den hellige; lader det være eder nok, Levi Børn!
8 And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, you sons of Levi:
Og Mose sagde til Kora: Hører dog, I Levi Børn!
9 Seems it but a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has 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 to them?
Er det eder for lidet, at Israels Gud har udskilt eder fra Israels Menighed for at lade eder komme nær til sig, til at besørge Herrens Tabernakels Tjeneste og til at staa for Menighedens Ansigt at tjene dem?
10 And he has brought you near to him, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you: and seek you the priesthood also?
Og han har ladet dig og alle dine Brødre, Levi Børn, med dig komme nær, og nu søge I ogsaa Præstedømmet!
11 For which cause both you and all your company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that you murmur against him?
Derfor er du og alt dit Selskab, de som ere forsamlede, imod Herren; og Aron, hvad er han, at I knurre imod ham?
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
Og Mose sendte hen at kalde ad Dathan og ad Abiram, Eliabs Sønner, og de sagde: Vi komme ikke op.
13 Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land that flows with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except you make yourself altogether a prince over us?
Er det for lidet, at du har ført os op af et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning, for at lade os dø i Ørken? thi du vil endog aldeles tiltage dig selv Herredømmet over os.
14 Moreover you have not brought us into a land that flows with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: will you put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
Du har visselig ikke ført os ind i et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning, eller givet os Agre og Vingaarde til Arv; vil du blænde Øjnene paa disse Mænd? vi ville ikke komme op.
15 And Moses was very wroth, and said to the LORD, Respect not you their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
Da blev Mose saare vred og sagde til Herren: Vend dig ikke til deres Madoffer; jeg har ikke taget et Asen fra dem, og jeg har ikke gjort een iblandt dem ondt.
16 And Moses said to Korah, Be you and all your company before the LORD, you, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
Og Mose sagde til Kora: Vær du og dit ganske Selskab for Herrens Ansigt, du og de og Aron, i Morgen,
17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring you before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
og tager hver sit Ildkar og lægger Røgelse paa dem, og hver føre sit Ildkar frem for Herrens Ansigt, to Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Ildkar; og du og Aron, hver med sit Ildkar!
18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.
Og de toge hver sit Ildkar og lagde Ild i dem og lagde Røgelse paa dem, og de stode for Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør, ligeledes Mose og Aron.
19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the congregation.
Og Kora samlede den ganske Menighed imod dem til Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør; men Herrens Herlighed viste sig for den ganske Menighed.
20 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og til Aron og sagde:
21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
Skiller eder midt ud af denne Menighed, saa vil jeg gøre Ende paa dem, i et Øjeblik.
22 And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be wroth with all the congregation?
Men de faldt ned paa deres Ansigter og sagde: Gud, alt Køds Aanders Gud! om den ene Mand synder, vil du derfor blive vred paa al Menigheden?
23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
24 Speak to the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
Tal til Menigheden og sig: Gaar bort trindt omkring fra Koras, Dathans og Abirams Bolig.
25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
Og Mose stod op og gik til Dathan og Abiram, og de Ældste af Israel gik efter ham.
26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.
Og han talede til Menigheden og sagde: Kære, viger bort fra disse ugudelige Mænds Telte, og rører ikke ved noget af det, som hører dem til, at I ikke skulle omkomme i alle deres Synder.
27 So they got up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
Og de gik bort fra Koras, Dathans og Abirams Bolig trindt omkring; men Dathan og Abiram vare gangne ud og stode i deres Teltes Dør, og deres Hustruer og deres Sønner og deres smaa Børn.
28 And Moses said, Hereby you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of my own mind.
Og Mose sagde: Derpaa skulle I kende, at Herren har sendt mig at gøre alle disse Gerninger, og at de ikke ere af mit eget Hjerte:
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD has not sent me.
Dersom disse dø, som alle Mennesker dø, eller hjemsøges, som alle Mennesker hjemsøges, da har Herren ikke sendt mig;
30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain to them, and they go down quick into the pit; then you shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD. (Sheol h7585)
men dersom Herren skaber noget nyt, at Jorden oplader sin Mund og opsluger dem og alt det, de have, saa at de fare levende ned i Helvede, da skulle I kende, at disse Mænd have opirret Herren. (Sheol h7585)
31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split asunder that was under them:
Og det skete, der han havde fuldendt at tale alle disse Ord, da revnede Jorden, som var under dem,
32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained to Korah, and all their goods.
og Jorden aabnede sin Mund og opslugte dem og deres Huse og hvert Menneske, som hørte Kora til, og alt Godset.
33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed on them: and they perished from among the congregation. (Sheol h7585)
Og de og alt det, de havde, fore levende ned i Helvede; og Jorden skjulte dem, og de omkom midt i Menigheden. (Sheol h7585)
34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
Og al Israel, som var trindt omkring dem, flyede ved deres Skrig; thi de sagde: Blot Jorden ikke opsluger os!
35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
Og en Ild for ud fra Herren og fortærede de to Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Mænd, som ofrede Røgelse.
36 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
37 Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter you the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.
Sig til Eleasar, Præsten Arons Søn, at han skal tage Ildkarrene ud af Branden og sprede Ilden langt bort; thi de ere helligede,
38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.
deres Ildkar, som syndede imod deres Liv, og man skal slaa dem i brede Plader at beslaa Alteret med; thi de bare dem frem for Herrens Ansigt, og de ere helligede; og de skulle være Israels Børn til et Tegn.
39 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, with which they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:
Saa tog Eleasar, Præsten, de Ildkar af Kobber, som de opbrændte havde ofret med, og slog dem ud til Plader til at beslaa Alteret med,
40 To be a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.
Israels Børn til en Ihukommelse, paa det at ingen fremmed Mand, som ikke er af Arons Sæd, skal nærme sig for at gøre Offer af Røgelse for Herrens Ansigt; og at det ikke skal gaa ham som Kora og som hans Selskab, som Herren havde sagt ham ved Mose.
41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of the LORD.
Men den anden Dag knurrede al Israels Børns Menighed mod Mose og mod Aron og sagde: I have slaget Herrens Folk ihjel.
42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
Og det skete, der Menigheden samledes mod Mose og mod Aron, da vendte disse sig til Forsamlingens Paulun, og se, Skyen skjulte det; og Herrens Herlighed lod sig se.
43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
Og Mose og Aron kom frem foran Forsamlingens Paulun.
44 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell on their faces.
Forføjer eder midt ud af denne Menighed, saa vil jeg gøre Ende paa dem i et Øjeblik; og de faldt ned paa deres Ansigter.
46 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly to the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
Og Mose sagde til Aron: Tag Ildkarret og læg Ild fra Alteret og læg Røgelse derpaa, og gak hasteligen hen til Menigheden og gør Forligelse for dem; thi en Vrede er udgangen fra Herrens Ansigt, Plagen er begyndt.
47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the middle of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
Og Aron tog det, ligesom Mose havde sagt, og løb hen midt i Forsamlingen, og se, Plagen var begyndt iblandt Folket; saa kom han Røgelse derpaa og gjorde Forligelse for Folket.
48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Og han stod imellem de døde og imellem de levende, og Plagen hørte op.
49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
Men de, som døde i Plagen, vare fjorten Tusinde og syv Hundrede foruden dem, som døde for Koras Handels Skyld.
50 And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
Og Aron kom til Mose igen for Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør, og Plagen var hørt op.
