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,
Korah anak Yizhar dari kaum Kehat, suku Lewi, memberontak terhadap Musa. Ia didukung oleh tiga orang dari suku Ruben, yaitu Datan dan Abiram anak-anak Eliab, dan On anak Pelet, dan oleh 250 orang pemimpin terkenal yang dipilih oleh rakyat.
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;
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 YHWH is among them: why then lift yourselves up above the assembly of YHWH?"
Mereka bersama-sama pergi menghadap Musa dan Harun dan berkata, "Cukuplah itu, Musa! Seluruh umat Israel dikhususkan untuk TUHAN, dan TUHAN ada di tengah-tengah kita sekalian. Tetapi mengapa engkau menganggap dirimu lebih tinggi dari umat TUHAN?"
4 When Moses heard it, he fell on his face:
Mendengar itu, Musa sujud di tanah dan berdoa kepada TUHAN.
5 and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, "In the morning YHWH 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.
Lalu ia berkata kepada Korah dan pengikut-pengikutnya, "Besok pagi TUHAN akan menunjukkan kepada kita siapa kepunyaan-Nya, dan siapa yang dikhususkan bagi-Nya. Orang yang dipilih-Nya akan diperbolehkan-Nya mendekati Dia.
6 Do this: take censers, Korah, and all his company;
Besok pagi engkau dan para pengikutmu harus mengambil tempat-tempat api, mengisinya dengan bara api dan dupa, dan membawanya ke mezbah. Baiklah kita lihat nanti siapa di antara kita yang telah dipilih TUHAN. Cukuplah itu, hai orang-orang Lewi!"
7 and put fire in them, and put incense on them before YHWH tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom YHWH chooses, he shall be holy. You have gone too far, you sons of Levi."
8 Moses said to Korah, "Hear now, you sons of Levi.
Selanjutnya Musa berkata kepada Korah, "Dengarlah, hai orang-orang Lewi!
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 YHWH, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;
Apakah kamu pikir ini soal kecil bahwa Allah Israel memilih kamu dari antara orang-orang Israel supaya kamu boleh mendekati Dia, dan bertugas di Kemah-Nya, serta bekerja untuk umat Israel dan melayani mereka?
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?
Kau, Korah, dan semua orang Lewi sudah mendapat kehormatan itu dari TUHAN--dan sekarang kamu menuntut untuk menjadi imam juga!
11 Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against God. And Aaron, what is he that you murmur against him?"
Jika engkau dengan pengikut-pengikutmu mengomel terhadap Harun, sesungguhnya kamu melawan TUHAN!"
12 Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, "We won't come up:
Lalu Musa menyuruh memanggil Datan dan Abiram, tetapi mereka berkata, "Kami tak mau datang!
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?
Belum cukupkah engkau membawa kami keluar dari tanah Mesir yang subur itu untuk membunuh kami di padang gurun ini? Haruskah engkau memerintah kami juga?
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."
Sesungguhnya engkau tidak membawa kami ke tanah yang subur, atau memberi kami ladang-ladang dan kebun-kebun anggur menjadi milik pusaka kami! Sekarang engkau mau menipu kami! Tidak, kami tidak mau datang!"
15 Moses was very angry, and said to YHWH, "Do not respect their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them."
Musa marah sekali dan berkata kepada TUHAN, "TUHAN, janganlah menerima persembahan mereka. Tak pernah saya merugikan seorang pun dari mereka; bahkan seekor keledai pun tak pernah saya ambil dari mereka."
16 Moses said to Korah, "You and all your company go before YHWH, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
Lalu kata Musa kepada Korah, "Datanglah besok ke Kemah TUHAN bersama ke-250 pengikutmu. Harun juga akan ada di sana. Kamu harus membawa tempat apimu masing-masing. Taruhlah dupa di dalamnya, lalu persembahkanlah kepada TUHAN."
17 and each man take his censer, and put incense on them, and each man bring before YHWH his censer, two hundred fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer."
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.
Maka setiap orang mengambil tempat apinya, mengisinya dengan bara api dan dupa, lalu berdiri di pintu Kemah TUHAN bersama Musa dan Harun.
19 Korah assembled all the congregation against them to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the glory of YHWH appeared to all the congregation.
Kemudian Korah mengumpulkan seluruh umat dan mereka berdiri berhadapan dengan Musa dan Harun di pintu Kemah TUHAN. Tiba-tiba seluruh umat melihat cahaya kemilau TUHAN.
20 YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun,
21 "Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment."
"Mundurlah dari orang-orang itu; Aku mau membinasakan mereka sekarang juga."
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?"
Tetapi Musa dan Harun sujud menyembah dan berkata, "Ya Allah, Engkaulah yang memberi kehidupan kepada segala yang hidup. Kalau hanya seorang saja yang berdosa, apakah Engkau marah kepada seluruh umat?"
23 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
24 "Speak to the congregation, saying, 'Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'"
"Suruhlah orang-orang menyingkir dari kemah-kemah Korah, Datan dan Abiram."
25 Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
Lalu Musa dengan diiringi para pemimpin Israel, pergi ke tempat Datan dan Abiram.
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."
Musa berkata kepada orang-orang Israel, "Menyingkirlah dari kemah orang-orang jahat ini dan jangan menyentuh apa pun dari milik mereka. Kalau kamu tidak menurut, kamu akan dibinasakan bersama mereka karena dosa-dosa mereka."
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.
Lalu orang-orang Israel itu menyingkir dari kemah-kemah Korah, Datan dan Abiram. Datan dan Abiram sudah keluar dan sedang berdiri di pintu kemah masing-masing, dengan anak istri mereka.
28 Moses said, "Hereby you shall know that YHWH has sent me to do all these works; for they are not from my own mind.
Lalu Musa berkata, "Dengan ini kamu akan tahu bahwa TUHAN telah mengutus saya untuk melakukan semuanya ini dan bahwa itu bukan kemauan saya sendiri.
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then YHWH hasn't sent me.
Kalau orang-orang itu mati dengan cara biasa, tanpa hukuman apa-apa dari Allah, itulah tandanya TUHAN tidak mengutus saya.
30 But if YHWH 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 YHWH." (Sheol h7585)
Tetapi kalau TUHAN melakukan sesuatu yang belum pernah kamu dengar selama ini, dan kalau tanah terbelah untuk menelan mereka beserta segala milik mereka, sehingga mereka masuk hidup-hidup ke dalam dunia orang mati, tahulah kamu bahwa orang-orang itu melawan TUHAN." (Sheol h7585)
31 It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split apart that was under them;
Segera sesudah Musa selesai berbicara, tanah di bawah kaki mereka terbelah,
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.
dan menelan mereka dengan keluarga mereka serta semua pengikut Korah, dan segala harta benda mereka.
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)
Maka terjerumuslah mereka hidup-hidup ke dalam dunia orang mati dengan segala yang mereka miliki. Tanah yang terbelah itu menutup kembali dan mereka hilang lenyap ditelan bumi. (Sheol h7585)
34 All Israel that were around them fled at their cry; for they said, "Lest the earth swallow us up."
Semua orang Israel yang ada di situ melarikan diri ketika mendengar mereka berteriak, "Lari! Nanti kita ditelan bumi!"
35 Fire came forth from YHWH, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense.
Lalu TUHAN mendatangkan api yang menghanguskan ke-250 orang yang mempersembahkan dupa itu.
36 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
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,
"Suruhlah Eleazar anak Imam Harun mengangkat tempat-tempat api dari sisa-sisa kebakaran itu dan menghamburkan abu arangnya ke tempat lain, sebab tempat api itu adalah suci. Barang-barang itu ialah persembahan orang-orang yang telah dihukum mati karena dosanya. Barang-barang itu suci karena telah dipersembahkan di hadapan TUHAN, sebab itu harus ditempa menjadi lempeng-lempeng tipis untuk lapisan luar mezbah. Hal itu akan merupakan peringatan bagi bangsa Israel."
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 YHWH; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel."
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,
Maka Imam Eleazar mengambil tempat-tempat api itu dan menyuruh orang menempanya menjadi lempeng-lempeng tipis untuk lapisan luar mezbah.
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 YHWH; that he not be as Korah, and as his company: as YHWH spoke to him by Moses.
Itu merupakan peringatan bagi bangsa Israel bahwa selain keturunan Harun, tidak seorang pun boleh datang ke mezbah untuk membakar dupa bagi TUHAN. Orang yang melanggar peraturan itu akan dibinasakan seperti Korah dan pengikut-pengikutnya. Semuanya itu dilaksanakan seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada Eleazar melalui Musa.
41 But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, "You have killed YHWH's people."
Keesokan harinya seluruh umat Israel marah-marah terhadap Musa dan Harun. Mereka berkata, "Kamu sudah membunuh umat TUHAN."
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 YHWH appeared.
Sedang mereka berkumpul melawan Musa dan Harun, mereka menoleh ke Kemah TUHAN, dan melihat awan menutupi Kemah itu, lalu tampaklah cahaya kehadiran TUHAN.
43 Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.
Musa dan Harun pergi ke muka Kemah TUHAN,
44 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
45 "Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment." They fell on their faces.
"Mundurlah dari orang-orang itu. Aku akan membinasakan mereka di tempat itu juga!" Mereka berdua sujud menyembah,
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 YHWH. The plague has begun."
lalu Musa berkata kepada Harun, "Ambillah tempat apimu, isilah dengan bara api dari mezbah dan taruh dupa di atasnya. Bawalah cepat kepada umat dan buatlah upacara pengampunan dosa untuk mereka. Cepat! Kemarahan TUHAN sudah berkobar dan wabah sudah mulai."
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.
Harun melakukan apa yang dikatakan Musa. Ia lari ke tengah-tengah umat yang sedang berkumpul dan sudah mulai kena wabah. Maka Harun menaruh dupa di atas bara api, dan melakukan upacara penghapusan dosa untuk umat.
48 He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Wabah itu berhenti, dan Harun ada di antara orang-orang yang masih hidup dan yang sudah mati.
49 Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah.
Yang mati pada waktu itu ada 14.700 orang, tidak termasuk mereka yang mati dalam pemberontakan Korah.
50 Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the plague was stayed.
Setelah wabah itu berhenti, Harun kembali kepada Musa di pintu Kemah TUHAN.
