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,
利未的曾孙、哥辖的孙子、以斯哈的儿子可拉，和吕便子孙中以利押的儿子大坍、亚比兰，与比勒的儿子安，
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;
并以色列会中的二百五十个首领，就是有名望选入会中的人，在摩西面前一同起来，
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?"
聚集攻击摩西、亚伦，说：“你们擅自专权！全会众个个既是圣洁，耶和华也在他们中间，你们为什么自高，超过耶和华的会众呢？”
4 When Moses heard it, he fell on his face:
摩西听见这话就俯伏在地，
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.
对可拉和他一党的人说：“到了早晨，耶和华必指示谁是属他的，谁是圣洁的，就叫谁亲近他；他所拣选的是谁，必叫谁亲近他。
6 Do this: take censers, Korah, and all his company;
可拉啊，你们要这样行，你和你的一党要拿香炉来。
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."
明日，在耶和华面前，把火盛在炉中，把香放在其上。耶和华拣选谁，谁就为圣洁。你们这利未的子孙擅自专权了！”
8 Moses said to Korah, "Hear now, you sons of Levi.
摩西又对可拉说：“利未的子孙哪，你们听我说！
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;
以色列的 神从以色列会中将你们分别出来，使你们亲近他，办耶和华帐幕的事，并站在会众面前替他们当差。
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?
耶和华又使你和你一切弟兄—利未的子孙—一同亲近他，这岂为小事？你们还要求祭司的职任吗？
11 Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against God. And Aaron, what is he that you murmur against him?"
你和你一党的人聚集是要攻击耶和华。亚伦算什么，你们竟向他发怨言呢？”
12 Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, "We won't come up:
摩西打发人去召以利押的儿子大坍、亚比兰。他们说：“我们不上去！
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?
你将我们从流奶与蜜之地领上来，要在旷野杀我们，这岂为小事？你还要自立为王辖管我们吗？
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."
并且你没有将我们领到流奶与蜜之地，也没有把田地和葡萄园给我们为业。难道你要剜这些人的眼睛吗？我们不上去！”
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."
摩西就甚发怒，对耶和华说：“求你不要享受他们的供物。我并没有夺过他们一匹驴，也没有害过他们一个人。”
16 Moses said to Korah, "You and all your company go before the LORD, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
摩西对可拉说：“明天，你和你一党的人，并亚伦，都要站在耶和华面前；
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."
各人要拿一个香炉，共二百五十个，把香放在上面，到耶和华面前。你和亚伦也各拿自己的香炉。”
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.
于是他们各人拿一个香炉，盛上火，加上香，同摩西、亚伦站在会幕门前。
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.
可拉招聚全会众到会幕门前，要攻击摩西、亚伦；耶和华的荣光就向全会众显现。
20 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
21 "Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment."
“你们离开这会众，我好在转眼之间把他们灭绝。”
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?"
摩西、亚伦就俯伏在地，说：“神，万人之灵的 神啊，一人犯罪，你就要向全会众发怒吗？”
23 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
24 "Speak to the congregation, saying, 'Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'"
“你吩咐会众说：‘你们离开可拉、大坍、亚比兰帐棚的四围。’”
25 Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
摩西起来，往大坍、亚比兰那里去；以色列的长老也随着他去。
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."
他吩咐会众说：“你们离开这恶人的帐棚吧，他们的物件，什么都不可摸，恐怕你们陷在他们的罪中，与他们一同消灭。”
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.
于是众人离开可拉、大坍、亚比兰帐棚的四围。大坍、亚比兰带着妻子、儿女、小孩子，都出来，站在自己的帐棚门口。
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.
摩西说：“我行的这一切事本不是凭我自己心意行的，乃是耶和华打发我行的，必有证据使你们知道。
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.
这些人死若与世人无异，或是他们所遭的与世人相同，就不是耶和华打发我来的。
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)
倘若耶和华创作一件新事，使地开口，把他们和一切属他们的都吞下去，叫他们活活地坠落阴间，你们就明白这些人是藐视耶和华了。” (Sheol h7585)
31 It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split apart that was under them;
摩西刚说完了这一切话，他们脚下的地就开了口，
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.
把他们和他们的家眷，并一切属可拉的人丁、财物，都吞下去。
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)
这样，他们和一切属他们的，都活活地坠落阴间；地口在他们上头照旧合闭，他们就从会中灭亡。 (Sheol h7585)
34 All Israel that were around them fled at their cry; for they said, "Lest the earth swallow us up."
在他们四围的以色列众人听他们呼号，就都逃跑，说：“恐怕地也把我们吞下去。”
35 Fire came forth from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense.
又有火从耶和华那里出来，烧灭了那献香的二百五十个人。
36 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
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,
“你吩咐祭司亚伦的儿子以利亚撒从火中捡起那些香炉来，把火撒在别处，因为那些香炉是圣的。
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."
把那些犯罪、自害己命之人的香炉，叫人锤成片子，用以包坛。那些香炉本是他们在耶和华面前献过的，所以是圣的，并且可以给以色列人作记号。”
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,
于是祭司以利亚撒将被烧之人所献的铜香炉拿来，人就锤出来，用以包坛，
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.
给以色列人作纪念，使亚伦后裔之外的人不得近前来在耶和华面前烧香，免得他遭可拉和他一党所遭的。这乃是照耶和华借着摩西所吩咐的。
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."
第二天，以色列全会众都向摩西、亚伦发怨言说：“你们杀了耶和华的百姓了。”
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.
会众聚集攻击摩西、亚伦的时候，向会幕观看，不料，有云彩遮盖了，耶和华的荣光显现。
43 Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.
摩西、亚伦就来到会幕前。
44 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华吩咐摩西说：
45 "Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment." They fell on their faces.
“你们离开这会众，我好在转眼之间把他们灭绝。”他们二人就俯伏于地。
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."
摩西对亚伦说：“拿你的香炉，把坛上的火盛在其中，又加上香，快快带到会众那里，为他们赎罪；因为有忿怒从耶和华那里出来，瘟疫已经发作了。”
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.
亚伦照着摩西所说的拿来，跑到会中，不料，瘟疫在百姓中已经发作了。他就加上香，为百姓赎罪。
48 He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
他站在活人死人中间，瘟疫就止住了。
49 Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah.
除了因可拉事情死的以外，遭瘟疫死的，共有一万四千七百人。
50 Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the plague was stayed.
亚伦回到会幕门口，到摩西那里，瘟疫已经止住了。
