Numbers 16
1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, took Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, son of Reuben,
Men Kora, en Søn af Jizhar, en Søn af Levis Søn Kehat, og Datan og Abiram, Sønner af Eliab, en Søn af Rubens Søn Pallu, gjorde Oprør.
2 and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred fifty leaders of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown;
De gjorde Oprør mod Moses sammen med 250 israelitiske Mænd, Øverster for Menigheden, udvalgte i Folkeforsamlingen, ansete Mænd.
3 and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, "You take too much on yourself, since all the congregation are holy, everyone of them, and the LORD is among them: why then lift yourselves up above the assembly of the LORD?"
Og de samlede sig og traadte op imod Moses og Aron og sagde til dem: »Lad det nu være nok, thi hele Menigheden er hellig, hver og en, og HERREN er i dens Midte; hvorfor vil I da ophøje eder over HERRENS Forsamling?«
4 When Moses heard it, he fell on his face:
Da Moses hørte det, faldt han paa sit Ansigt.
5 and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, "In the morning the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy, and will bring him near to him. The one whom he has chosen he will bring near to him.
Derpaa talte han til Kora og alle hans Tilhængere og sagde: »Vent til i Morgen, saa vil HERREN give til kende, hvem der tilhører ham, og hvem der er hellig, saa at han vil give ham Adgang til sig; den, han udvælger, vil han give Adgang til sig.
6 Do this: take censers, Korah, and all his company;
Saaledes skal I gøre: Skaf eder Pander, du Kora og alle dine Tilhængere,
7 and put fire in them, and put incense on them before the LORD tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD chooses, he shall be holy. You have gone too far, you sons of Levi."
og læg saa i Morgen Gløder paa og kom Røgelse paa for HERRENS Aasyn, saa skal den, HERREN udvælger, være den, som er hellig; lad det nu være nok, I Levisønner!«
8 Moses said to Korah, "Hear now, you sons of Levi.
Fremdeles sagde Moses til Kora: »Hør nu, I Levisønner!
9 Is it 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 ikke nok, at Israels Gud har udskilt eder af Israels Menighed og givet eder Adgang til sig for at udføre Arbejdet ved HERRENS Bolig og staa til Tjeneste for Menigheden?
10 and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? and do you seek the priesthood also?
Han har givet dig og med dig alle dine Brødre, Levis Sønner, Adgang til sig og nu attraar I ogsaa Præsteværdigheden!
11 Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against God. And Aaron, what is he that you murmur against him?"
Derfor, du og alle dine Tilhængere, som har rottet eder sammen mod HERREN, hvad er Aron, at I vil knurre mod ham!«
12 Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, "We won't come up:
Da sendte Moses Bud efter Datan og Abiram, Eliabs Sønner, men de sagde: »Vi kommer ikke!
13 is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must also make yourself a prince over us?
Er det ikke nok, at du har ført os bort fra et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning, for at lade os dø i Ørkenen, siden du oven i Købet vil opkaste dig til Herre over os!
14 Moreover you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: will you put out the eyes of these men? We won't come up."
Du har sandelig ikke ført os til et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning, eller givet os Marker og Vinbjerge! Tror du, du kan stikke disse Mænd Blaar i Øjnene? Vi kommer ikke!«
15 Moses was very angry, and said to the LORD, "Do not respect their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them."
Da harmedes Moses højlig og sagde til HERREN: »Vend dig ikke til deres Offergave! Ikke saa meget som et Æsel har jeg frataget dem, ej heller har jeg gjort en eneste af dem noget ondt!«
16 Moses said to Korah, "You and all your company go before the LORD, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
Og Moses sagde til Kora: »I Morgen skal du og alle dine Tilhængere komme frem for HERRENS Aasyn sammen med Aron;
17 and each man take his censer, and put incense on them, and each man bring before the LORD his censer, two hundred fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer."
og enhver af eder skal tage sin Pande, lægge Gløder paa og komme Røgelse paa og frembære sin Pande for HERRENS Aasyn, 250 Pander, du selv og Aron skal ogsaa tage hver sin Pande!«
18 They each took his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.
Da tog hver sin Pande, lagde Gløder paa og kom Røgelse paa, og saa stillede de sig ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet sammen med Moses og Aron;
19 Korah assembled all the congregation against them to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the congregation.
og Kora kaldte hele Menigheden sammen imod dem ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet. Da kom HERRENS Herlighed til Syne for hele Menigheden,
20 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
21 "Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment."
»Skil eder ud fra denne Menighed, saa vil jeg i et Nu tilintetgøre den!«
22 They fell on their faces, and said, "God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?"
Men de faldt paa deres Ansigt og sagde: »O Gud, du Gud over alt Køds Aander, vil du vredes paa hele Menigheden, fordi en enkelt Mand synder?«
23 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
24 "Speak to the congregation, saying, 'Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'"
»Tal til Menigheden og sig: Fjern eder fra Pladsen omkring Koras, Datans og Abirams Bolig!«
25 Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
Moses gik nu hen til Datan og Abiram, fulgt af Israels Ældste,
26 He spoke to the congregation, saying, "Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins."
og han talte til Menigheden og sagde: »Træk eder tilbage fra disse ugudelige Mænds Telte og rør ikke ved noget af, hvad der tilhører dem, for at I ikke skal rives bort for alle deres Synders Skyld!«
27 So they went away from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
Da fjernede de sig fra Pladsen om Koras, Datans og Abirams Bolig, og Datan og Abiram kom ud og stillede sig ved Indgangen til deres Telte med deres Hustruer og Børn, store og smaa.
28 Moses said, "Hereby you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works; for they are not from my own mind.
Og Moses sagde: »Derpaa skal I kende, at HERREN har sendt mig for at gøre alle disse Gerninger, og at jeg ikke handler i Egenraadighed:
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 hasn't sent me.
Dersom disse dør paa vanlig menneskelig Vis, og der ikke rammer dem andet, end hvad der rammer alle andre, saa har HERREN ikke sendt mig;
30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain to them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then you shall understand that these men have despised the LORD." (Sheol h7585)
men hvis HERREN lader noget uhørt ske, saa Jorden spiler sit Gab op og sluger dem med alt, hvad der tilhører dem, saa de farer levende ned i Dødsriget, da skal I derpaa kende, at disse Mænd har haanet HERREN!« (Sheol h7585)
31 It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split apart that was under them;
Og straks, da han havde talt alle disse Ord, aabnede Jorden sig under dem,
32 and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who appertained to Korah, and all their goods.
og Jorden lukkede sit Gab op og slugte dem og deres Boliger og alle Mennesker, der tilhørte Kora, og alt, hvad de ejede;
33 So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into Sheol: and the earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
og de for levende ned i Dødsriget med alt, hvad der tilhørte dem, og Jorden lukkede sig over dem, og de blev udryddet af Forsamlingen. (Sheol h7585)
34 All Israel that were around them fled at their cry; for they said, "Lest the earth swallow us up."
Men hele Israel, der stod omkring dem, flygtede ved deres Skrig, thi de sagde: »Blot ikke Jorden skal opsluge os!«
35 Fire came forth from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense.
Og Ild for ud fra HERREN og fortærede de 250 Mænd, der frembar Røgelse.
36 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
37 "Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire yonder; for they are holy,
»Sig til Eleazar, Præsten Arons Søn, at han skal tage Panderne ud af Branden og strø Gløderne ud noget derfra; thi hellige
38 even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel."
er de Pander, der tilhørte disse Mænd, som begik en Synd, der kostede dem Livet. De skal udhamre dem til Plader til Overtræk paa Alteret, thi de frembar dem for HERRENS Aasyn, og derfor er de hellige; de skal nu tjene Israeliterne til Tegn.«
39 Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,
Da tog Præsten Eleazar Kobberpanderne, som de opbrændte Mænd havde frembaaret, og hamrede dem ud til. Overtræk paa Alteret
40 to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, who isn't of the descendants of Aaron, comes near to burn incense before the LORD; that he not be as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD spoke to him by Moses.
som et Mindetegn for Israeliterne om, at ingen Lægmand, ingen, som ikke hører til Arons Efterkommere, maa træde frem for at ofre Røgelse for HERRENS Aasyn, for at det ikke skal gaa ham som Kora og hans Tilhængere, saaledes som HERREN havde sagt ham ved Moses.
41 But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, "You have killed the LORD's people."
Men Dagen efter knurrede hele Israels Menighed mod Moses og Aron og sagde: »Det er eder, der har, dræbt HERRENS Folk!«
42 It happened, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the Tent of Meeting: and look, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
Men da Menigheden samlede sig mod Moses og Aron, vendte de sig mod Aabenbaringsteltet, og se, Skyen dækkede det, og HERRENS Herlighed kom til Syne.
43 Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.
Da traadte Moses og Aron hen foran Aabenbaringsteltet,
44 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
45 "Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment." They fell on their faces.
»Fjern eder fra denne Menighed, saa vil jeg i et Nu tilintetgøre dem!« Da faldt de paa deres Ansigt,
46 Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer, and put fire from off the altar in it, and lay incense on it, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the LORD. The plague has begun."
og Moses sagde til Aron: »Tag din Pande, læg Gløder fra Alteret paa og kom Røgelse paa og skynd dig saa hen til Menigheden og skaf den Soning, thi Vreden er brudt frem fra HERREN, Plagen har allerede taget fat!«
47 Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and look, the plague has begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
Da tog Aron det, saaledes som Moses havde sagt, og løb midt ind i Forsamlingen. Og se, Plagen havde allerede taget fat blandt Folket, men han kom Røgelsen paa og skaffede Folket Soning.
48 He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Og som han stod der midt imellem døde og levende, hørte Plagen op.
49 Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah.
Men de, der omkom ved Plagen, udgjorde 14 700 Mennesker foruden dem, der omkom for Koras Skyld.
50 Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the plague was stayed.
Saa vendte Aron tilbage til Moses ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet, efter at Plagen var ophørt.
