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:
Na rĩrĩ, Kora mũrũ wa Iziharu, mũrũ wa Kohathu, ũrĩa warĩ mũrũ wa Lawi, marĩ na andũ amwe a mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni nĩo Dathani na Abiramu, ariũ a Eliabu, na Oni mũrũ wa Pelethu, magĩtuĩka a kũngʼathia.
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.
Nao magĩũkĩrĩra Musa. Hamwe nao haarĩ arũme a Isiraeli 250, atongoria mooĩkaine a kĩrĩndĩ kĩu arĩa maathuurĩtwo marĩ a kĩama.
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?
Nao magĩũka marĩ gĩkundi makararie Musa na Harũni, makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ nĩmwĩtũgĩrĩtie mũno! Kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ gĩothe nĩ gĩtheru, mũndũ o mũndũ, nake Jehova arĩ hamwe nao. Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mwĩtũũgĩrie igũrũ rĩa kĩũngano gĩkĩ kĩa Jehova?”
4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
Rĩrĩa Musa aiguire ũguo-rĩ, akĩgũa, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ.
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.
Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩĩra Kora na arũmĩrĩri ake othe atĩrĩ: “Rũciinĩ, Jehova nĩakonania nũũ wake na nũũ mũtheru, na nĩakareka mũndũ ũcio amũkuhĩrĩrie. Mũndũ ũrĩa agaathuura, ũcio nĩwe akaareka amũkuhĩrĩrie.
6 This do ye: Take yourselves censers, Korach and all his company;
Wee Kora na arũmĩrĩri aku othe, ũũ nĩguo mũgeeka: mũkoya ngĩo cia gũcinĩra ũbumba,
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.
na rũciũ mũciĩkĩre mwaki na ũbumba mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova. Mũndũ ũrĩa Jehova agaathuura-rĩ, ũcio agaatuĩka nĩwe mũtheru. Inyuĩ Alawii nĩmwĩtũgĩrĩtie mũno!”
8 And Moses said unto Korach, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
Ningĩ Musa akĩĩra Kora atĩrĩ, “Ta thikĩrĩriai inyuĩ Alawii!
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?
Anga mũtiganĩire nĩ Ngai wa Isiraeli kũmwamũrania na kĩrĩndĩ kĩrĩa kĩngĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli, akamũrehe hakuhĩ nake nĩgeetha mũrutage wĩra hema-inĩ ĩrĩa nyamũre ya Jehova, na mũrũgamage mbere ya kĩrĩndĩ mũgĩtungatagĩre?
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?
Inyuĩ hamwe na Alawii othe a thiritũ yanyu nĩamũrehete hakuhĩ nake, no rĩu mũrageria kuoya wĩra wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai o naguo.
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:
Wee na arũmĩrĩri aku othe mũnganĩte hamwe mũũkĩrĩre Jehova. Harũni nũũ atĩ nĩguo mũnugune nĩ ũndũ wake?”
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up:
Musa agĩcooka agĩĩta Dathani na Abiramu, ariũ a Eliabu. No-o makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũtigũũka!
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?
Anga ti kũiganu atĩ nĩwatũrutire bũrũri warĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ ũũke ũtũũragĩre werũ-inĩ ũyũ? Rĩu ningĩ ũrenda gũtwatha?
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.
Ningĩ-rĩ, ndũrĩ ũratũkinyia bũrũri ũrĩ na bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, kana ũgatũhe igai rĩa ithaka na mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ. Nĩ ũgũkũũra andũ aya maitho ũmaheenie? Aca, tũtigũũka!”
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.
Nake Musa akĩrakara mũno, akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Ndũgetĩkĩre maruta mao. Niĩ ndioete o na ndigiri kuuma kũrĩ o, o na ndihĩtĩirie mũndũ wao o na ũmwe.”
16 And Moses said unto Korach, Thou and all thy company, be ye before the Lord, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
Ningĩ Musa akĩĩra Kora atĩrĩ, “Wee na arũmĩrĩri aku othe mũgooka mbere ya Jehova rũciũ, wee, nao, na Harũni.
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.
O mũndũ nĩakoya rũgĩo rwake na arwĩkĩre ũbumba, ngĩo ciothe nĩ 250, na mũcirehe mbere ya Jehova. Wee, na Harũni, o na inyuĩ mũrehe ngĩo cianyu.”
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.—
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio o mũndũ akĩoya rũgĩo rwake, akĩrwĩkĩra mwaki na ũbumba, na makĩrũgamania mbere ya Musa na Harũni itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
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.
Rĩrĩa Kora aarĩkirie gũcookereria arũmĩrĩri ake othe nĩguo makararie Musa na Harũni marũngiĩ itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo-rĩ, riiri wa Jehova ũkiumĩrĩra kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe.
20 And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
21 Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and I will make an end of them in a moment.
“Mwĩyamũraniei na kĩũngano gĩkĩ nĩguo ndĩkĩniine o ro rĩmwe.”
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!
No Musa na Harũni makĩĩgũithia magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ makĩanĩrĩra makiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Ngai, Ngai wa Maroho ma andũ othe, kaĩ ũngĩrakarĩra kĩũngano gĩkĩ gĩothe hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arĩ o mũndũ ũmwe wĩhĩtie?”
23 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you away from about the dwelling of Korach, Dathan, and Abiram.
“Ĩra kĩũngano gĩothe atĩrĩ, ‘Eherai kuuma hema-inĩ cia Kora na Dathani na Abiramu.’”
25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and there went after him the elders of Israel.
Musa agĩũkĩra, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Dathani na Abiramu, nao athuuri a Isiraeli makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
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.
Nake agĩkaania kĩũngano kĩu, agĩkĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ehererai hema cia andũ aya aaganu! Mũtikahutie kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩao, nĩguo mũtikaniinwo nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao mothe.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ makĩeherera hema icio cia Kora na Dathani na Abiramu. Dathani na Abiramu nĩ moimĩte makarũgama na atumia ao, na ciana cia ngenge itoonyero-inĩ rĩa hema ciao.
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.
Ningĩ Musa akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũgũtũma mũmenye atĩ Jehova nĩwe ũndũmĩte njĩke maũndũ maya mothe, na atĩ rĩtiarĩ ithugunda rĩakwa:
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.
Andũ aya mangĩkua gĩkuũ kĩa ndũire-rĩ, o na kana mone maũndũ o ta marĩa makoraga andũ othe-rĩ, nĩmũkũmenya atĩ ti Jehova ũndũmĩte.
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)
No Jehova angĩrehe ũndũ ũngĩ mwerũ biũ, nayo thĩ yathamie kanua kayo ĩmamerie hamwe na indo ciao ciothe, na mathiĩ mbĩrĩra-inĩ marĩ muoyo, nĩmũkamenya atĩ andũ aya nĩ manyararĩte Jehova.” (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:
Na rĩrĩ, Musa aarĩkia kuuga ũguo wothe, thĩ ĩgĩatũka hau maarĩ.
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.
Nayo thĩ ĩgĩathamia kanua kayo ĩkĩmameria, hamwe na andũ ao na arũmĩrĩri othe a Kora, na indo ciao ciothe.
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)
Nao magĩikũrũka mbĩrĩra marĩ muoyo hamwe na indo ciao ciothe; nayo thĩ ĩkĩmahumbĩra, magĩkua, magĩthengio kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩu. (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].
Nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩro kĩao, andũ othe a Isiraeli arĩa maamarigiicĩirie makĩũra, makĩanagĩrĩra atĩrĩ, “O na ithuĩ thĩ nĩĩgũtũmeria!”
35 And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had offered the incense.
Naguo mwaki ũkiuma kũrĩ Jehova ũgĩcina andũ acio 250 arĩa maarehete ũbumba.
36 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
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:
“Ĩra Eleazaru mũrũ wa Harũni, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, oe ngĩo icio cia gũcinĩrwo ũbumba, acieherie hau irahĩĩra, na ahurunje makara macio handũ haraaya, nĩ ũndũ ngĩo icio nĩ nyamũre,
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.
ngĩo icio cia andũ acio makuĩte nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao. Ngĩo icio nĩiturwo ituĩke mabati ma kũhumbĩra kĩgongona, nĩ ũndũ nĩciarehetwo mbere ya Jehova, na igatuĩka nyamũre. Nacio nĩ ituĩke kĩmenyithia harĩ andũ a Isiraeli.”
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:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akĩoya ngĩo icio cia gĩcango ciarehetwo nĩ andũ acio maacinĩtwo, nake agĩciturithia ituĩke cia kũhumbĩra kĩgongona,
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.
agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩrĩire Musa. Ũndũ ũyũ warĩ wa kũririkania andũ a Isiraeli atĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, tiga wa rũciaro rwa Harũni, wagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũũka gũcina ũbumba mbere ya Jehova, kana atuĩke ta Kora na arũmĩrĩri ake.
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.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli gĩgĩtetia Musa na Harũni, gĩkĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ nĩ mũũragĩte andũ a Jehova.”
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.
Na rĩrĩa kĩũngano kĩu gĩecookanĩrĩirie gĩũkĩrĩre Musa na Harũni, o na gĩkĩerekera na kũrĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo yarĩ-rĩ, o rĩmwe itu rĩkĩhumbĩra hema ĩyo, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũkĩonekana.
43 And Moses came with Aaron before the tabernacle of the congregation.
Nao Musa na Harũni magĩthiĩ hau mbere ya Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo,
44 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
45 Remove yourselves from the midst of this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
“Ehererai mume kĩũngano-inĩ gĩkĩ nĩguo ndĩkĩniine o ro rĩmwe.” No-o makĩĩgũithia thĩ, na magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ.
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.
Ningĩ Musa akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Oya rũgĩo rwaku ũrwĩkĩre ũbumba hamwe na mwaki wa kuuma kĩgongona-inĩ, na ũthiĩ narua kĩũngano-inĩ kĩu ũkĩhoroherie. Mangʼũrĩ moimĩte kũrĩ Jehova; mũthiro nĩwambĩrĩirie kũmaniina.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Harũni agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Musa aamwĩrire, agĩtengʼera agĩtoonya thĩinĩ wa kĩũngano kĩu. Mũthiro nĩwarĩĩkĩtie kwambĩrĩria thĩinĩ wa andũ, no Harũni akĩruta ũbumba akĩmahoroheria.
48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Akĩrũgama gatagatĩ ka andũ arĩa maarĩ muoyo na arĩa maakuĩte, naguo mũthiro ũgĩthira.
49 And those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those that had died about the matter of Korach.
No andũ 14,700 magĩkua nĩ ũndũ wa mũthiro ũcio, kuonganĩrĩria na andũ arĩa maakuĩte nĩ ũndũ wa Kora.
50 And Aaron returned unto Moses, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, after the plague had been stayed.
Thuutha ũcio Harũni agĩcooka kũrĩ Musa itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, tondũ mũthiro ũcio nĩwathirĩte.
