Numbers 16
1 Now Korach, the son of Yizhar, the son of Kehath, the son of Levi, was presumptuous, together with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben:
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 So that they rose up before Moses, with certain men of the children of Israel, in number two hundred and fifty; [who were] princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, 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 assembled themselves against Moses, and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye assume too much; for the whole of the congregation are all of them holy, and the Lord is among them; wherefore then will you lift yourselves up 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 upon his face:
Der Mose hørte det, da faldt han paa sit Ansigt.
5 And he spoke unto Korach and unto all his company, saying, Tomorrow, —then will the Lord make known who is his, and who is holy, that he may cause them to come near unto him; and him whom he shall choose will he cause to come near unto 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 ye: Take yourselves censers, Korach and all his company;
Gører dette: Tager eder Ildkar, Kora og alt hans Selskab!
7 And put therein fire, and put upon them incense before the Lord, tomorrow; and it shall be that the man whom the Lord will choose, he shall be the holy one; you assume too much, ye 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 unto Korach, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
Og Mose sagde til Kora: Hører dog, I Levi Børn!
9 It is too little for you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near unto himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister for 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 hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and now will ye seek 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 [beware], thou and all thy company that are gathered together against the Lord; for Aaron, what is he, that ye should 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; but they 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 too little that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that thou wilt assume to make thyself also 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 thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and thou hast not given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou bore 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 this displeased Moses greatly, and he said unto the Lord, Have no respect unto their offering: I have not taken away an ass of any one of them, nor have I done wrong to any 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 unto Korach, Thou and all thy company, be ye before the Lord, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
Og Mose sagde til Kora: Vær du og dit ganske Selskab for Herrens Ansigt, du og de og Aron, i Morgen,
17 And take ye every man his censer, and put incense upon them, and bring ye near before the Lord every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each 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 on them, and laid incense thereupon; and they stood at 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 Korach assembled against them all the congregation unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and the glory of the Lord then appeared unto 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 unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og til Aron og sagde:
21 Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and I will make an end of 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 upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, this one man doth sin, and with all the congregation wouldst thou be wroth!
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 unto Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you away from about the dwelling of Korach, 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 unto Dathan and Abiram; and there went after him the elders of Israel.
Og Mose stod op og gik til Dathan og Abiram, og de Ældste af Israel gik efter ham.
26 And he spoke unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing which belongeth to them, lest ye be destroyed through 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 away from the dwelling of Korach, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, standing [boldly] at the door of their tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
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, Through this shall ye know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these deeds; that [I have] not done them out of my own heart.
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 as all men die, and if the visitation of all men be visited on them: then hath the Lord 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 do create a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertaineth unto them, and they go down alive into the pit: then shall ye 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, when he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground that was under them was cloven asunder:
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 unto Korach, 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 And they went down, they, and all they that appertained to them, alive into the pit; and the earth closed over them, and they disappeared from the midst of 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 their cry; for they said, Perhaps the earth may 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 had offered the incense.
Og en Ild for ud fra Herren og fortærede de to Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Mænd, som ofrede Røgelse.
36 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
37 Speak unto Elazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he lift up the censers out of the burning, and throw out the fire far away; for they have been 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 lives; and they shall make of them broad plates for a covering for the altar; for they brought them near before the Lord, and they have thus become hallowed; and they shall serve for a sign unto 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 Elazar the priest took the copper censers, which they that were burnt had brought near; and they beat them out for a covering unto 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 As a memorial unto the children of Israel, in order that no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, should come near to burn incense before the Lord; that he become not as Korach, and as his company; as the Lord had spoken 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 And all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, on the morrow, saying, It is you who have caused the people of the Lord to die.
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 assembled 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 came with Aaron before the tabernacle of the congregation.
Og Mose og Aron kom frem foran Forsamlingens Paulun.
44 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
45 Remove yourselves from the midst of this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon 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 unto Aaron, Take the censer, and put therein fire from off the altar, and put on incense, and carry [it] quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them; for the wrath is gone forth from the Lord; the plague hath 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 had commanded, and he ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague had begun among the people: and he put on the 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 And those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those that had died about the matter of Korach.
Men de, som døde i Plagen, vare fjorten Tusinde og syv Hundrede foruden dem, som døde for Koras Handels Skyld.
50 And Aaron returned unto Moses, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, after the plague had been stayed.
Og Aron kom til Mose igen for Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør, og Plagen var hørt op.
