Numbers 16
1 And Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, takes both Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, sons of Reuben,
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 rise up before Moses with men of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the congregation, called of the convention, men of renown,
surrexerunt contra Moysen, aliique filiorum Israel ducenti quinquaginta viri proceres synagogae, et qui tempore concilii per nomina vocabantur.
3 and they are assembled against Moses and against Aaron, and say to them, “Enough of you! For all the congregation—all of them [are] holy, and YHWH [is] in their midst; and why do you lift yourselves up above the assembly 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 Moses hears, and falls on his face,
Quod cum audisset Moyses, cecidit pronus in faciem:
5 and he speaks to Korah and to all his congregation, saying, “Indeed, [in the] morning YHWH may cause [you] to know those who are His and him who is holy, and has brought [him] near to Him; even him whom He fixes on He brings near to 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 Do this: take censers for yourselves—Korah and all his company—
Hoc igitur facite: Tollat unusquisque thuribula sua, tu Core, et omne concilium tuum:
7 and put fire in them and put incense on them before YHWH tomorrow, and it has been, the man whom YHWH chooses, he [is] the holy one—enough of you, 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 says to Korah, “Now hear, sons of Levi;
Dixitque rursum ad Core: Audite filii Levi:
9 is it little 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 Dwelling Place of YHWH, and to stand before the congregation to serve 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 Indeed, He brings you near, and all your brothers, the sons of Levi, with you—and you have also sought the priesthood!
idcirco ad se fecit accedere te et omnes fratres tuos filios Levi, ut vobis etiam sacerdotium vindicetis,
11 Therefore, you and all your congregation are meeting against YHWH; and Aaron, what [is] he, that you murmur against him?”
et omnis globus tuus stet contra Dominum? quis est enim Aaron ut murmuretis contra eum?
12 And Moses sends to call for Dathan and for Abiram, sons of Eliab, and they say, “We do not come up!
Misit ergo Moyses ut vocaret Dathan et Abiron filios Eliab. Qui responderunt: Non venimus.
13 Is it little that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to put us to death in a wilderness, that you also certainly make yourself prince over us?
numquid parum est tibi quod eduxisti nos de terra, quae lacte et melle manabat, ut occideres in deserto, nisi et dominatus fueris nostri?
14 Indeed, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor do you give an inheritance of field and vineyard to us; do you pick out the eyes of these men? We do not come up!”
Revera induxisti nos in terram, quae fluit rivis lactis et mellis, et dedisti nobis possessiones agrorum et vinearum. an et oculos nostros vis eruere? non venimus.
15 And it is very displeasing to Moses, and he says to YHWH, “Do not turn to their present; I have not taken one donkey from them, nor have I afflicted one of them.”
Iratusque Moyses valde, ait ad Dominum: Ne respicias sacrificia eorum: tu scis quod nec asellum quidem umquam acceperim ab eis, nec afflixerim quempiam eorum.
16 And Moses says to Korah, “You and all your congregation, be [present] before YHWH—you, and they, and Aaron—tomorrow;
Dixitque ad Core: Tu, et omnis congregatio tua, state seorsum coram Domino, et Aaron die crastino separatim.
17 and let each take his censer and you have put incense on them, and each has brought his censer near before YHWH—two hundred and fifty censers; indeed, you and Aaron, each [with] his censer.”
Tollite singuli thuribula vestra, et ponite super ea incensum, offerentes Domino ducenta quinquaginta thuribula: Aaron quoque teneat thuribulum suum.
18 And they each take his censer, and put fire on them, and lay incense on them, and they stand at the opening of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.
Quod cum fecissent, stantibus Moyses et Aaron,
19 And Korah assembles all the congregation against them at the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of YHWH is seen by all the congregation.
et coacervassent adversum eos omnem multitudinem ad ostium tabernaculi, apparuit cunctis gloria Domini.
20 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Locutusque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, ait:
21 “Be separated from the midst of this congregation, and I consume them in a moment”;
Separamini de medio congregationis huius, ut eos repente disperdam.
22 and they fall on their faces, and say, “God, God of the spirits of all flesh—one man sins, and are You angry against all the congregation?”
Qui ceciderunt proni in faciem, atque dixerunt: Fortissime Deus spirituum universae carnis, num uno peccante, contra omnes ira tua desaeviet?
23 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Et ait Dominus ad Moysen:
24 “Speak to the congregation, saying, Go up from around the dwelling place of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
Praecipe universo populo ut separetur a tabernaculis Core, et Dathan et Abiron.
25 And Moses rises, and goes to Dathan and Abiram, and [the] elderly of Israel go after him,
Surrexitque Moyses, et abiit ad Dathan et Abiron: et sequentibus eum senioribus Israel,
26 and he speaks to the congregation, saying, “Now turn aside from the tents of these wicked men, and do not come against anything that they have, lest you are consumed in all their sins.”
dixit ad turbam: Recedite a tabernaculis hominum impiorum, et nolite tangere quae ad eos pertinent, ne involvamini in peccatis eorum.
27 And they go up from the dwelling place of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, from all around, and Dathan and Abiram have come out, standing at the opening of their tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their infants.
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 says, “By this you know that YHWH has sent me to do all these works, that [they are] not from my own heart;
Et ait Moyses: In hoc scietis, quod Dominus miserit me ut facerem universa quae cernitis, et non ex proprio ea corde protulerim:
29 if these die according to the death of all men, or the charge of all men is charged on them, YHWH has 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 does a strange thing, and the ground has opened her mouth and swallowed them and all that they have, and they have gone down alive to Sheol, then you have known that these men have despised YHWH.” (Sheol h7585)
sin autem novam rem fecerit Dominus, ut aperiens terra os suum deglutiat eos et omnia quae ad illos pertinent, descenderintque viventes in infernum, scietis quod blasphemaverint Dominum. (Sheol h7585)
31 And it comes to pass at his finishing speaking all these words, that the ground which [is] under them cleaves,
Confestim igitur ut cessavit loqui, dirupta est terra sub pedibus eorum:
32 and the earth opens her mouth and swallows them, and their houses, and all the men who [are] for Korah, and all the goods,
et aperiens os suum, devoravit illos cum tabernaculis suis et universa substantia eorum.
33 and they go down—they and all that they have—alive to Sheol, and the earth closes over them, and they perish from the midst of the assembly; (Sheol h7585)
descenderuntque vivi in infernum operti humo, et perierunt de medio multitudinis. (Sheol h7585)
34 and all Israel who [are] around them have fled at their voice, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us”;
At vero omnis Israel, qui stabat per gyrum, fugit a clamore pereuntium, dicens: Ne forte et nos terra deglutiat.
35 and fire has come out from YHWH and consumes the two hundred and fifty men bringing the incense near.
Sed et ignis egressus a Domino, interfecit ducentos quinquaginta viros, qui offerebant incensum.
36 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
37 “Say to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to lift up the censers from the midst of the burning and scatter the fire away, for they have been hallowed.
Praecipe Eleazaro filio Aaron sacerdotis ut tollat thuribula quae iacent in incendio, et ignem huc illucque dispergat: quoniam sanctificata sunt
38 [As for] the censers of these sinners against their own souls, indeed, they have made them [into] spread-out plates [for] a covering for the altar, for they have brought them near before YHWH, and they are hallowed; and they become a sign to the sons 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 takes the bronze censers which they who are burned had brought near, and they spread them out [for] a covering for the altar—
Tulit ergo Eleazar sacerdos thuribula aenea, in quibus obtulerant hi quos incendium devoravit, et produxit ea in laminas, affigens altari:
40 a memorial to the sons of Israel, so that a stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron does not draw near to make incense before YHWH, and is not as Korah and as his congregation, as YHWH has spoken by the hand of Moses to him.
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 And on the next day all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmurs against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have put the people of YHWH to death.”
Murmuravit autem omnis multitudo filiorum Israel sequenti die contra Moysen et Aaron, dicens: Vos interfecistis populum Domini.
42 And it comes to pass, in the congregation being assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they turn toward the Tent of Meeting, and behold, the cloud has covered it and the glory of YHWH is seen;
Cumque oriretur seditio, et tumultus incresceret,
43 and Moses comes—Aaron also—to the front of the Tent of Meeting.
Moyses et Aaron fugerunt ad tabernaculum foederis. Quod, postquam ingressi sunt, operuit nubes, et apparuit gloria Domini.
44 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen:
45 “Get up from the midst of this congregation, and I consume them in a moment”; and they fall on their faces,
Recedite de medio huius multitudinis, etiam nunc delebo eos. Cumque iacerent in terra,
46 and Moses says to Aaron, “Take the censer and put fire on it from off the altar, and place incense, and go quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for the wrath has gone out from the presence of YHWH—the plague has 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 desaevit.
47 And Aaron takes [it] as Moses has spoken, and runs to the midst of the assembly, and behold, the plague has begun among the people; and he gives the incense, and makes atonement for the people,
Quod cum fecisset Aaron, et cucurrisset ad mediam multitudinem, quam iam vastabat incendium, obtulit thymiama:
48 and stands between the dead and the living, and the plague is restrained;
et stans inter mortuos ac viventes, pro populo deprecatus est, et plaga cessavit.
49 and those who die by the plague are fourteen thousand and seven hundred, apart from those who die for the matter of Korah;
Fuerunt autem qui percussi sunt, quattuordecim millia hominum, et septingenti, absque his qui perierant in seditione Core.
50 and Aaron turns back to Moses, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and the plague has been restrained.
Reversusque est Aaron ad Moysen ad ostium tabernaculi foederis postquam quievit interitus.
