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:
Ecce autem Core filius Isaar, filii Caath, filii Levi, et Dathan atque Abiron filii Eliab, Hon quoque filius Pheleth de filiis Ruben,
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:
surrexerunt contra Moysen, aliique filiorum Israel ducenti quinquaginta viri proceres synagogæ, et qui tempore concilii per nomina vocabantur.
3 And they gathered 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 Yhwh is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of Yhwh?
Cumque stetissent adversum Moysen et Aaron, dixerunt: Sufficiat vobis, quia omnis multitudo sanctorum est, et in ipsis est Dominus: Cur elevamini super populum Domini?
4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
Quod cum audisset Moyses, cecidit pronus in faciem:
5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow Yhwh will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
locutusque ad Core et ad omnem multitudinem: Mane, inquit, notum faciet Dominus qui ad se pertineant, et sanctos applicabit sibi: et quos elegerit, appropinquabunt ei.
6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
Hoc igitur facite: Tollat unusquisque thuribula sua, tu Core, et omne concilium tuum:
7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before Yhwh to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom Yhwh doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
et hausto cras igne, ponite desuper thymiama coram Domino: et quemcumque elegerit, ipse erit sanctus: multum erigimini filii Levi.
8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
Dixitque rursum ad Core: Audite filii Levi:
9 Seemeth 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 Yhwh, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
Num parum vobis est quod separavit vos Deus Israel ab omni populo, et iunxit sibi, ut serviretis ei in cultu tabernaculi, et staretis coram frequentia populi, et ministraretis ei?
10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
idcirco ad se fecit accedere te et omnes fratres tuos filios Levi, ut vobis etiam sacerdotium vindicetis,
11 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against Yhwh: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
et omnis globus tuus stet contra Dominum? quid est enim Aaron ut murmuretis contra eum?
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
Misit ergo Moyses ut vocaret Dathan et Abiron filios Eliab. Qui responderunt: Non venimus.
13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?
numquid parum est tibi quod eduxisti nos de terra, quæ lacte et melle manabat, ut occideres in deserto, nisi et dominatus fueris nostri?
14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
Revera induxisti nos in terram, quæ fluit rivis lactis et mellis, et dedisti nobis possessiones agrorum et vinearum. an et oculos nostros vis eruere? non venimus.
15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto Yhwh, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
Iratusque Moyses valde, ait ad Dominum: Ne respicias sacrificia eorum: tu scis quod ne asellum quidem umquam acceperim ab eis, nec afflixerim quempiam eorum.
16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before Yhwh, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
Dixitque ad Core: Tu, et omnis congregatio tua, state seorsum coram Domino, et Aaron die crastino separatim.
17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before Yhwh every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
Tollite singuli thuribula vestra, et ponite super ea incensum, offerentes Domino ducenta quinquaginta thuribula: Aaron quoque teneat thuribulum suum.
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.
Quod cum fecissent, stantibus Moyses et Aaron,
19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of Yhwh appeared unto all the congregation.
et coacervassent adversum eos omnem multitudinem ad ostium tabernaculi, apparuit cunctis gloria Domini.
20 And Yhwh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Locutusque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, ait:
21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
Separamini de medio congregationis huius, ut eos repente disperdam.
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?
Qui ceciderunt proni in faciem, atque dixerunt: Fortissime Deus spirituum universæ carnis, num uno peccante, contra omnes ira tua desæviet?
23 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Et ait Dominus ad Moysen:
24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
Præcipe universo populo ut separetur a tabernaculis Core, et Dathan et Abiron.
25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
Surrexitque Moyses, et abiit ad Dathan et Abiron: et sequentibus eum senioribus Israel,
26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
dixit ad turbam: Recedite a tabernaculis hominum impiorum, et nolite tangere quæ ad eos pertinent, ne involvamini in peccatis eorum.
27 So they gat 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.
Cumque recessissent a tentoriis eorum per circuitum, Dathan et Abiron egressi stabant in introitu papilionum suorum cum uxoribus et liberis, omnique frequentia.
28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Yhwh hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
Et ait Moyses: In hoc scietis, quod Dominus miserit me ut facerem universa quæ cernitis, et non ex proprio ea corde protulerim:
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Yhwh hath not sent me.
Si consueta hominum morte interierint, et visitaverit eos plaga, qua et ceteri visitari solent, non misit me Dominus:
30 But if Yhwh make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked Yhwh. (Sheol h7585)
sin autem novam rem fecerit Dominus, ut aperiens terra os suum deglutiat eos et omnia quæ ad illos pertinent, descenderintque viventes in infernum, scietis quod blasphemaverint Dominum. (Sheol h7585)
31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
Confestim igitur ut cessavit loqui, dirupta est terra sub pedibus eorum:
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.
et aperiens os suum, devoravit illos cum tabernaculis suis et universa substantia eorum.
33 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 congregation. (Sheol h7585)
descenderuntque vivi in infernum operti humo, et perierunt de medio multitudinis. (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.
At vero omnis Israel, qui stabat per gyrum, fugit ad clamorem pereuntium, dicens: Ne forte et nos terra deglutiat.
35 And there came out a fire from Yhwh, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
Sed et ignis egressus a Domino, interfecit ducentos quinquaginta viros, qui offerebant incensum.
36 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.
Præcipe Eleazaro filio Aaron sacerdoti ut tollat thuribula quæ iacent in incendio, et ignem huc illucque dispergat: quoniam sanctificata sunt
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 Yhwh, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
in mortibus peccatorum: producatque ea in laminas, et affigat altari, eo quod oblatum sit in eis incensum Domino, et sanctificata sint, ut cernant ea pro signo et monimento filii Israel.
39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:
Tulit ergo Eleazar sacerdos thuribula ænea, in quibus obtulerant hi quos incendium devoravit, et produxit ea in laminas, affigens altari:
40 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before Yhwh; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as Yhwh said to him by the hand of Moses.
ut haberent postea filii Israel, quibus commonerentur ne quis accedat alienigena, et qui non est de semine Aaron ad offerendum incensum Domino, ne patiatur sicut passus est Core, et omnis congregatio eius, loquente Domino ad Moysen.
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 Yhwh.
Murmuravit autem omnis multitudo filiorum Israel sequenti die contra Moysen et Aaron, dicens: Vos interfecistis populum Domini.
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 Yhwh appeared.
Cumque oriretur seditio, et tumultus incresceret,
43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
Moyses et Aaron fugerunt ad tabernaculum fœderis. Quod, postquam ingressi sunt, operuit nubes, et apparuit gloria Domini.
44 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen:
45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
Recedite de medio huius multitudinis, etiam nunc delebo eos. Cumque iacerent in terra,
46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Yhwh; the plague is begun.
dixit Moyses ad Aaron: Tolle thuribulum, et hausto igne de altari, mitte incensum desuper, pergens cito ad populum ut roges pro eis: iam enim egressa est ira a Domino, et plaga desævit.
47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
Quod cum fecisset Aaron, et cucurrisset ad mediam multitudinem, quam iam vastabat incendium, obtulit thymiama:
48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
et stans inter mortuos ac viventes, pro populo deprecatus est, et plaga cessavit.
49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
Fuerunt autem qui percussi sunt, quattuordecim millia hominum, et septingenti, absque his qui perierant in seditione Core.
50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
Reversusque est Aaron ad Moysen ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis postquam quievit interitus.
