< Numbers 16 >

1 Then took Korah, son of Izhar son of Kohath son of Levi, —and Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On, son of Peleth sons of Reuben;
Na ka tango tangata a Koraha tama a Itihara, tama a Kohata, tama a Riwai, ratou ko Ratana, ko Apirama, tama a Eriapa, ko Ono hoki, tama a Perete, he tama na Reupena;
2 and rose up before Moses, with certain men of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty, —princes of assembly, called to the stated meeting, men of renown;
A ka whakatika ratou kite aroaro o Mohi, me etahi o nga tama a Iharaira, e rua rau e rima tekau, he rangatira no te whakaminenga, e rangona ana i roto i te huihui, he hunga whai ingoa:
3 and gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron and said unto them Too much for you, when, all the assembly, are, all of them, holy, and in the midst of them, is Yahweh, —Wherefore, then, should ye set yourselves up, above the convocation of Yahweh?
Ka whakahuihui ratou i a ratou ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, ka mea ki a raua, He kaha rawa ta korua tango tikanga, he tapu kau nei te whakaminenga katoa, kei waenganui ano hoki a Ihowa i a ratou: he aha ra korua i whakanui aia i a korua ki runga ake i te whakaminenga a Ihowa?
4 And, when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face.
A, no te rongonga o Mohi, ka hinga tapapa iho ia:
5 Then spake he unto Korah, and unto all his assembly, saying, In the morning, will Yahweh make known who are his, and who is the holy one and will cause him to come near unto himself, —yea him whom he shall choose, will he cause to come near unto himself.
A ka korero ki a Koraha ratou ko tana hui katoa, ka mea, A te ata ka whakaaturia mai e Ihowa ko wai tana, ko wai te mea tapu; ka meinga ano e ia kia whakatata ki a ia: ko tana i whiriwhiri ai, ko ia tana e mea ai kia whakatata ki a ia.
6 This do, —Take to you censers, Korah and all his assembly;
Ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai, Tikina etahi tahu kakara ma koutou, e Koraha ratou ko tana hui katoa;
7 and place therein fire, and put thereon incense before Yahweh, to-morrow, So shall it be—that, the man whom Yahweh shall choose, he shall be the holy one. Too much for you ye sons of Levi!
Ka maka hoki he ahi ki roto, ka mea ai i te whakakakara ki runga, ki te aroaro o Ihowa apopo, a, ko te tangata e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, ko ia te mea tapu: kati ta koutou, e nga tama a Riwai.
8 And Moses said unto Korah, —Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!
I mea ano a Mohi ki a Koraha, Na, whakarongo mai, e nga tama a Riwai:
9 Is it too small a thing for you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near unto himself, —to do the laborious work of the habitation of Yahweh, and to stand before the assembly, to wait upon them?
He mea iti ianei ki ta koutou kia wehea koutou e te Atua o Iharaira i roto i te huihui o Iharaira, kia meinga kia whakatata ki a ia, kia mahi i te mahi o te tapenakara o Ihowa, kia tu hoki ki te aroaro o te hui, hei minita ma ratou?
10 But having brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, must ye seek priesthood also?
Kua meinga ano koe e ia kia tata, koutou tahi ko ou teina katoa, ko nga tama a Riwai: na, me whai ano hoki e koutou te tohungatanga?
11 Wherefore thou and all thine assembly, are conspiring against Yahweh, —But Aaron, what is he, that ye should murmur against him?
Koia koutou ko tau hui katoa ka huihui nei ki a Ihowa: ko Arona hoki, he ha ia, i amauamu ai koutou ki a ia?
12 Then sent Moses, to call for Dathan and for Abiram sons of Eliab, —and they said We will not come up:
Na ka tono tangata a Mohi hei karanga i a Ratana raua ko Apirama, i nga tama a Eriapa: a ka mea raua, E kore maua e hare atu:
13 Was it, a small thing, that thou didst bring us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to put us to death in the desert but thou must, continue even to lord it, over us?
He mea iti ianei tau kawe mai i a matou i te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi kia mate ai matou ki te koraha, a ka mea rawa hoki koe i a koe. hei rangatira ki runga i a matou?
14 Certainly not into a land flowing with milk and honey, hast thou brought us, nor given unto us an inheritance of field and vineyard, —The eyes of those men, wilt thou dig out? We will not come up.
Kahore ano hoki koe i kawe i a matou i te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e tona honi, i homai ranei i nga mara, i nga kari, hei kainga: ka pokaia ranei e koe nga kanohi o nga tangata nei: e kore matou e haere atu.
15 Then was Moses very angry, and he said unto Yahweh, Do not thou have respect unto their meal-offering. Not one ass, from them, have I taken, neither have I wronged one of them.
Na ko te tino riringa o Mohi, ka mea ki a Ihowa, Kaua e tahuri ki ta ratou whakahere: kahore ano kia kotahi te kaihe i tangohia e ahau i a ratou, kahore ano ahau i kino noa ki tetahi o ratou.
16 And Moses said unto Korah, Thou, and all thine assembly, come ye before Yahweh, —thou, and they, and Aaron to-morrow.
Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Koraha, Puta mai koutou ko tau hui katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowa apopo, a koe, me ratou ko Arona, apopo:
17 And take ye each man his censer and put thereon incense, then shall ye bring near before Yahweh, each man his censer, two hundred and fifty Censers, —and, thou and Aaron, each man his censer.
A me mau e tenei, e tenei o koutou tana tahu kakara, ka mea he whakakakara ki runga, ka kawe ai tena i tana tahu kakara, i tana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kia rua rau kia rima tekau nga tahu kakara: a koe me tau tahu kakara, a Arona hoki me tana.
18 So they took each man his censer and put thereon fire, and placed thereon incense, —and took their stand at the entrance of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
Na ka mau ratou ki tana tahu kakara, ki tana tahu kakara, a hoatu ana he ahi ki roto, meatia ana hoki he whakakakara ki runga, a ka tu tahi me Mohi raua ko Arona ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.
19 And Korah gathered together against them all the assembly, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, —then appeared the glory of Yahweh, unto all the assembly.
Na ka tawhiua e Koraha te whakaminenga katoa ki a raua ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga: a ka puta mai te kororia o Ihowa ki te whakaminenga katoa.
20 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, ka mea,
21 Separate yourselves out of the midst of this assembly, —that I may consume them in a moment.
Wehea atu korua i roto i tenei whakaminenga, e kore hoki e aha ka pau ratou i ahau.
22 And they fell upon their faces and said, O GOD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, —shall, one man, sin, and against all the assembly, wilt thou be wroth.
Na ka tapapa raua, ka mea, E te Atua, e te Atua o nga wairua o nga kikokiko katoa, kia hara ranei te tangata kotahi, a ka riri koe ki te whakaminenga katoa?
23 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
24 Speak unto the assembly, saying, —Get ye up from round about the habitation of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.
Korero ki te whakaminenga, mea atu, Whakatika i te tapenakara o Koraha, o Ratana, o Apirama.
25 So Moses rose up, and went, unto Dathan and Abiram, —then went, after him the elders of Israel.
Na ka whakatika a Mohi, ka haere ki a Ratana raua ko Apirama: me te whai tahi ano nga kaumatua o Iharaira i a ia.
26 And he spake unto the assembly, saying—Remove I pray you from beside the tents of these lawless men, and do not touch aught that pertaineth unto them, —lest ye be carried off, in all their sins.
Na ka korero ia ki te whakaminenga, ka mea, Tena, mawehe mai i nga teneti o enei tangata kikino, kaua hoki e pa ki te tahi mea a ratou, kei ngaro koutou i roto i o ratou hara katoa.
27 So they went up from beside the habitation of Korah, Dathan and Abiram on every side, —and, Dathan and Abiram, came out and stationed themselves at the entrance of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their little ones.
Na ka whakatika ratou i nga taha katoa o te tapenakara o Koraha, o Ratana, o Apirama: a ka puta a Ratana raua ko Apirama, ka tu ki nga whatitoka o o raua teneti, ratou ko a ratou wahine, ko a ratou tama, ko a ratou kohungahunga hoki.
28 Then said Moses, Hereby, shall ye know, that, Yahweh hath sent me, to do all these works, —verily, not out of my own heart:
Na ka mea a Mohi, Ma tenei e mohio ai koutou na Ihowa ahau i unga mai ki te mahi i enei mahi katoa; a ehara i te mea whakaaro noa ake naku.
29 If, as all human beings die, these do die, and the visitation of all human beings, be visited upon them, Yahweh, hath not sent me.
Ki te mea ko te mate o nga tangata katoa te mate mo enei, ko te whiu ranei o nga tangata katoa te whiu mo ratou, kahore ahau i unga mai e Ihowa.
30 But, if, a creation, Yahweh create, and the ground open wide her mouth and swallow them up, with all that pertain unto them, and so they go down alive unto hades, then shall ye know, that these men have despised Yahweh. (Sheol h7585)
Tena ko tenei, ka pokaia houtia e Ihowa he mahi hou, a ka hamama te waha o te oneone, a ka horomia ratou me a ratou me katoa, a ka heke ora ratou ki te rua; katahi koutou ka mohio i whakahawea enei tangata ki a Ihowa. (Sheol h7585)
31 And it came to pass as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground which was under them, clave asunder;
A mutu kau tana korero i enei korero katoa, ko te tino kowheratanga o te oneone i raro i a ratou:
32 and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up them, and their households, —and all the human beings who pertained unto Korah, with all their goods:
Na hamama ana te waha o te whenua, horomia ake hoki ratou me o ratou whare, me nga tangata katoa o Koraha, me o ratou rawa katoa.
33 so, they, and all that pertained unto them, went down, alive unto hades, —and the earth, closed upon them, and they perished out of the midst of the convocation. (Sheol h7585)
A heke ora ana ratou me a ratou mea katoa ki te rua, na ka taupokina iho ratou i te whenua: a ngaro iho ratou i roto i te whakaminenga. (Sheol h7585)
34 And, all Israel who were round about them, fled at their cry, —for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.
Na rere ana a Iharaira katoa i nga taha katoa o ratou i to ratou aue; i mea hoki, Kei horomia hoki tatou e te whenua.
35 Fire also came forth, from Yahweh, —and consumed the two hundred and fifty men, who offered the incense.
Na a puta mai he ahi i a Ihowa, a pau ake nga tangata e rua rau e rima tekau i whakahere nei i te whakakakara.
36 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
37 Say unto Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the midst of the burning, and the fire, scatter thou yonder, —for they have been hallowed.
Mea atu ki a Eratara tama a te tohunga, a Arona, kia tangohia ake e ia nga tahu kakara i roto i te tahunga, a rukerukea atu hoki e koe te ahi ki ko; he tapu hoki ena;
38 As for the censers of these sinners against their own persons, they shall be made into beaten-out plates as an overlay for the altar, for they had brought them near before Yahweh and hallowed them, —so shall they become a sign unto the sons of Israel.
Ko nga tahu kakara ano a taua hunga i hara ra ki o ratou wairua, me hanga hei papa paraharaha, hei kopaki mo te aata: i tapaea hoki ki te aroaro o Ihowa, koia i tapu ai: a ka waiho hei tohu ki nga tama a Iharaira.
39 And Eleazar the priest took the censers of bronze, which the consumed men had brought near, —and beat them out into plates for overlaying the altar:
Na tikina atu ana e te tohunga, e Ereatara, nga tahu kakara parahi i tapaea e te hunga i tahuna ra, a ka hanga hei papa paraharaha, hei kopaki mo te aata:
40 a memorial unto the sons of Israel, That no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, shall draw near to offer incense before Yahweh, —lest he become like Korah and like his assembly, As spake Yahweh by the hand of Moses with regard thereto.
Hei whakamahara mo nga tama a Iharaira, kei whakatata he tangata ke, ehara nei i te uri no Arona, ki te tahu whakakakara ki te aroaro o Ihowa: kei rite ki a Koraha ratou ko tana hui: ko ta Ihowa tenei i korerotia e Mohi ki a ia.
41 And all the assembly of the sons of Israel murmured, on the morrow, against Moses and against, Aaron, saying, —Ye, have caused the death of the people of Yahweh.
Otiia i te aonga ake ka amuamu te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, ka mea, Na korua i mate ai te iwi a Ihowa.
42 And it came to pass, when the assembly gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, that they turned towards the tent of meeting, and lo! the cloud had covered it: and the glory of Yahweh, appeared.
A, i te huihuinga o te whakaminenga katoa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i to ratou tahuritanga ake ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, e! kua taupokina e te kapua, a ka kitea te kororia o Ihowa.
43 And Moses and Aaron came in, before the tent of meeting.
Na ka haere a Mohi raua ko Arona ki mua i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.
44 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
A ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
45 Lift yourselves up out of the midst of this assembly, that I may consume them, as in a moment, —And they fell upon their faces.
Whakatika atu korua i roto i tenei whakaminenga, e kore e aha ka pau ratou i ahau. Na ka tapapa iho raua.
46 Then said Moses unto Aaron—Take the censer and place thereon fire, from off the altar, and put incense [thereon], and, going quickly into the assembly, put a propitiatory-covering over them, —for wrath hath gone forth from before Yahweh the plague, hath begun.
Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Arona, E mau ki te tahu kakara, meatia iho hoki he ahi i te aata, ka hoatu ai i te whakakakara ki runga, a kia hohoro te haere ki te whakaminenga, te whakamarie mo ratou: kua puta he riri i te aroaro o Ihowa; kua timata te whiu.
47 Then took Aaron, as Moses spake, and ran into the midst of the convocation, and lo! the plague had begun among the people, —so he placed the incense, and put a propitiatory-covering over the people:
Na tikina ana e Arona, peratia ana me ta Mohi i ki ai, a rere ana ia ki waenganui o te whakaminenga; na kua timata tena te whiu i roto i te iwi: na ka maka iho e ia he whakakakara, a ka whakamarie mo te iwi.
48 thus did he take his stand between the dead and the living, —and the plague was restrained.
Na tu ana ia i waenganui o te hunga mate, o te hunga ora; a ka mutu te whiu.
49 And so it was that they who died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, —besides them who died over the matter of Korah.
Na ko nga tangata i mate i te whiu, kotahi tekau ma wha mano e whitu rau, haunga era i mate i to Koraha ra.
50 And Aaron returned unto Moses, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, —when, the plague, had been restrained.
Na hoki ana a Arona ki a Mohi, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, a mutu iho te whiu.
