Numbers 16
1 One day Korah, who was the son of Izhar and a descendant of Levi’s son Kohath, conspired with Dathan and Abiram, who were the sons of Eliab, and On, who was the son of Peleth. Those three men were from the tribe of Reuben.
Och Korah, Jizears son, Kehats sons, Levi sons, tog till sig Dathan och Abiram, Eliabs söner, och On, Peleths son, af Rubens söner.
2 Korah and those other three men incited 250 other people who were leaders among the Israeli people to join them in rebelling against Moses/me.
Och de hofvo sig upp emot Mose, med några män af Israels barn, tuhundrade och femtio myndige i menighetene, rådherrar och ärlige män.
3 They came together to criticize Aaron and Moses/me. They said to them/us, “You two are using more [authority] than you should! Yahweh has set apart all of us Israeli people, and he is with/helping all of us. So why do you act as though you are more important than the rest of us people who belong to Yahweh [RHQ]?”
Och de församlade sig emot Mose och Aaron, och sade till dem: I gören allt för mycket; ty hela menigheten är helig, och Herren är ibland dem; hvi upphäfven I eder öfver Herrans menighet?
4 When Moses/I heard what they were saying, he/I prostrated himself/myself on the ground.
Då Mose det hörde, föll han uppå sitt ansigte;
5 Then he/I said to Korah and those [Israeli leaders] who were with Korah, “Tomorrow morning Yahweh will show us whom he has chosen to be his [priest], and who is holy and allowed to come near to him. Yahweh will permit [only] those whom he chooses to come into his presence.
Och sade till Korah, och hans hela parti: I morgon varder Herren kungörandes, hvilka honom tillhöra, hvilken helig är, och honom offra skall; den han utväljer, han skall offra honom.
6 So Korah, tomorrow you and those who are with you must prepare your pans to burn incense.
Detta görer: Tager för eder rökopannor, Korah och hans hela parti;
7 Then you must light a fire in them and burn the incense in the presence of Yahweh. Then we will see which one of us Yahweh has chosen to be his holy servant. It is you men who are descendants of Levi who are trying to use more [authority] than you should!”
Och lägger der eld in, och kaster rökverk deruppå för Herranom i morgon. Hvilken som Herren utväljer, han vare helig; I göret allt för mycket, I Levi barn.
8 Then Moses/I spoke again to Korah. He/I said, “You men who are descendants of Levi, listen to me!
Och Mose sade till Korah: Käre, hörer dock, I Levi barn;
9 The God of us Israelis has chosen all of you to be close to him in order that you can work for him at his Sacred Tent and serve the people. (Is that unimportant/Does that mean nothing) to you [RHQ]?
Är det eder icke nog, att Israels Gud hafver afskiljt eder ifrå den meniga Israel, att I skolen offra honom, så att I skolen tjena honom i Herrans tabernakels ämbete, och träda fram för menighetena till att tjena henne?
10 Yahweh has brought you, [Korah], and your fellow descendants of Levi, near to himself. Now are you demanding to become priests also?
Han hafver tagit dig, och alla dina bröder, Levi barn, samt med dig till sig, och I faren nu ock efter Presterskapet.
11 It is really Yahweh against whom you and your fellow descendants of Levi are rebelling. Aaron is not the one about whom you are really complaining [RHQ].”
Du och ditt hela parti gören uppror emot Herran: Hvad är Aaron, att I knorren emot honom?
12 Then Moses/I summoned Dathan and Abiram, but [they refused to come]. They [sent a message] saying, “We will not come to you!
Och Mose sände bort och lät kalla Dathan och Abiram, Eliabs söner; men de sade: Vi komme intet ditupp.
13 You brought us out of Egypt, which was a very fertile [IDM] land, in order to cause us to die here in this desert. That was bad. But now you are also trying to boss us [RHQ], and that is worse.
Är det icke nog, att du hafver fört oss utu landet, der mjölk och hannog uti flyter, att du skulle dräpa oss i öknene; skall du ännu dertill vara herre öfver oss?
14 You have not given us a new land to live in, a land that has good fields and vineyards. You are only trying to [RHQ] trick these people. So we will not come to you.”
Skönliga hafver du fört oss in uti det land, der mjölk och hannog uti flyter, och hafver gifvit oss åkrar och vingårdar till arfvedel; vill du ock stinga folke ögonen ut? Vi komme intet ditupp.
15 Then Moses/I became very angry. He/I said to Yahweh, “Do not accept the grain offerings that they have brought. I have not taken anything from them, not even one donkey, and I have never done anything wrong to them, [so they have no reason to complain about me].”
Då förgrymmade sig Mose ganska svårliga, och sade till Herran: Vänd dig icke till deras spisoffer; jag hafver icke tagit dem en åsna ifrå, och ingen af dem något gjort emot.
16 Then Moses/I said to Korah, “You and all those who are with you must come here tomorrow and stand in front of Yahweh. Aaron will also be here.
Och han sade till Korah: Du och ditt hela parti skolen i morgon vara för Herranom, du, de ock, och Aaron.
17 You and all the 250 men who are with you must each take a pan in which to burn incense, and put incense in it, to [burn it to be] an offering to Yahweh. Aaron will do the same thing.”
Och hvar tage sina rökopanno, och lägge rökverk deruppå, och går fram för Herran, hvar med sine panno, det äro tuhundrade och femtio pannor.
18 So [the next day] each of those men got a pan to burn incense. They put in it incense and hot coals to light it, and then they all stood at the entrance of the Sacred Tent with Aaron and Moses/me.
Och hvardera tog sina panno, och lade der eld in, och kastade rökverk deruppå, och gingo in för dörrena af vittnesbördsens tabernakel; och Mose och Aaron desslikes.
19 Then Korah summoned all the people who supported him and who were against Moses/me, and they also gathered at the entrance of the tent. Then the glory of Yahweh appeared to all of them/us,
Och Korah församlade emot dem hela menighetena, inför dörrena af vittnesbördsens tabernakel. Och Herrans härlighet syntes för hela menighetene.
20 and Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Och Herren talade med Mose och Aaron, och sade:
21 “Get away from all these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately!”
Skiljer eder ifrå denna menighetene, att jag med hast må förgöra dem.
22 But Aaron and Moses/I prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground. We pleaded with Yahweh, saying, “God, you are the one who caused all these people to live [MTY]. Only one of these men has sinned; so, (is it right for you to be angry with all the people?/it is not right for you to be angry with all the people!) [RHQ]”
Men de föllo på sitt ansigte, och sade: Ack Gud, allt kötts andas Gud! Om en man syndat hafver, vill du då hämnas öfver hela menighetena?
23 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
24 “[Okay], but tell all the people to get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
Tala till menighetena, och säg: Kommer upp ifrå Korahs, och Dathans, och Abirams tjäll.
25 So Moses/I stood up and went to the tents of Dathan and Abiram. The Israeli leaders followed him/me.
Och Mose stod upp, och gick till Dathan och Abiram; och de äldste af Israel följde honom efter;
26 He/I told the people, “Get away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything that belongs to them! If you touch anything, you will die because of their sins!”
Och talade till menighetena, och sade: Går ifrå dessa ogudaktiga menniskors tjäll, och kommer intet vid något det dem tillhörer, att I icke tilläfventyrs förgås uti någon deras synd.
27 So all the people moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram came out of their tents with their wives and children and babies, and stood at the entrances of their tents.
Och de gingo upp ifrå Korahs, Dathans och Abirams tjäll; men Dathan och Abiram gingo ut, och trädde i dörrena af deras tjäll med deras hustrur, söner och barn.
28 Then Moses/I said, “I was not the one who decided to do all these things that I have done. It was Yahweh who [chose me and] sent me to do them. And now he will prove that to you.
Och Mose sade: Deruppå skolen I märka, att Herren mig sändt hafver, att jag alla dessa gerningar göra skulle; och icke af mino hjerta.
29 If these men die in a normal way, then it will be clear that Yahweh did not choose me.
Om de dö såsom alla menniskor, eller hemsökta varda, såsom alla menniskor hemsökta varda; så hafver Herren icke sändt mig.
30 But if Yahweh does something that has never happened before, if he causes the ground [that is under their feet] to open up and swallow these men [and their families] and all their possessions, and they fall into the opening and are buried while they are still alive, then you will know that these men have insulted Yahweh.” (Sheol h7585)
Men om Herren gör här något nytt, så att jorden öppnar sin mun, och uppslukar dem, med allt det de hafva, att de lefvande fara neder i helvetet; så skolen I förstå, att desse männerna hafva försmädat Herran. (Sheol h7585)
31 As soon as Moses/I said this, the ground split open beneath those men.
Och som han all dessa orden uttalat hade, remnade jorden under dem;
32 It swallowed them and their families and all those who were standing there with Korah and all of their possessions.
Och lät sin mun upp, och uppslukte dem med deras hus, med alla de menniskor, som när Korah voro, och med alla deras håfvor.
33 They fell into the opening in the ground while they were still alive, and all their possessions fell into the opening also. They disappeared, and the ground closed back up again. (Sheol h7585)
Och de foro lefvande neder i helvetet, med allt det de hade; och jorden öfvertäckte dem; och de förgingos utu menighetene. (Sheol h7585)
34 They screamed as they fell, and all the people who were standing nearby heard them scream. The people [were terrified and] cried out as they ran away, saying, “[We do not want] the ground to swallow us also!”
Och hela Israel, som omkring dem var, flydde för deras skris skull; ty de sade: Att jorden icke ock uppslukar oss.
35 And then a fire from Yahweh came down [from the sky] and burned up the 250 men who were burning the incense!
Dertill for en eld ut ifrå Herranom, och upptärde de tuhundrade och femtio män, som det rökverket offrade.
36 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
37 “Tell Aaron’s son Eleazar to take the pans that had incense in them away from the fire and to scatter the burning coals. The pans that those men [were carrying] are (holy/dedicated to me) [because they burned incense to me in them].
Säg Eleazar, Prestens Aarons son, att han upptager rökopannorna utu brandenom, och förströr elden hit och dit;
38 Those men have now died because of their sin; so [Eleazar must] take their pans and hammer the metal to make it become very thin. He must make a covering for the altar with that metal. Those pans were used to offer incense to me, so they are (holy/dedicated to me). [What happened to] those pans will now warn the Israeli people.”
Förty de syndares pannor äro helgade genom deras själar, att man må slå dem i skifvor, och hänga dem på altaret; ty de äro offrade för Herranom, och helgade, och skola vara Israels barnom ett tecken.
39 So Eleazar the priest collected the 250 pans for burning incense that had been used by the men who died in the fire. He hammered the pans very thin to make a covering for the altar, as Yahweh told Moses/me should be done.
Och Eleazar Presten tog de kopparpannorna, som de uppbrände män uti offrat hade, och slog dem i skifvor, till att hänga vid altaret;
40 That warned the Israeli people that only those who were descendants of Aaron were permitted to burn incense for an offering to Yahweh. If anyone else did that, the same thing that happened to Korah and those who were with him would happen to them.
Israels barnom till en åminnelse, att ingen främmande skulle gå fram, som icke är af Aarons säd, till att offra rökverk för Herranom; på det honom icke skall gå såsom Korah och hans parti, såsom Herren honom sagt hade genom Mose.
41 But the following morning, all the Israeli people started to complain against Aaron and Moses/me, saying “You have killed many people who belonged to Yahweh!”
Den andra morgonen knorrade hela menigheten af Israels barn emot Mose och Aaron, och sade: I hafven dräpit Herrans folk.
42 When all the people gathered together to protest about what Aaron and Moses/I had done, they looked at the Sacred Tent and saw that the sacred cloud had covered it, and the glory of Yahweh had appeared.
Och då menigheten församlade sig emot Mose och Aaron, vände de sig till vittnesbördsens tabernakel; och si, molnskyn öfvertäckte det, och Herrans härlighet syntes.
43 Aaron and Moses/I went and stood in front of the Sacred Tent.
Och Mose och Aaron gingo in för vittnesbördsens tabernakel.
44 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
45 “Get away from these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately [without injuring you two]!” But Aaron and Moses/I prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground [and prayed].
Går ut ifrå denna menighetene; jag vill med hast förgöra dem. Och de föllo uppå sitt ansigte.
46 Moses/I said to Aaron, “Quickly take another pan and put in it some burning/hot coals from the altar. Put incense in the pan, and carry it out among the people to atone for the sins of the people. Yahweh is very angry with them, and [I know that] a (severe plague/bad sickness) has already started among them.”
Och Mose sade till Aaron: Tag rökopannona, och låt der eld in af altaret, och kasta rökverk deruppå, och gack snarliga till menighetena, och försona dem; förty vrede är utgången af Herranom, och plågan hafver begynt.
47 So Aaron did what Moses/I told him. He took the burning incense out among the people. The plague had already started to strike the people, but Aaron continued to burn the incense so that God would forgive them for the sins they had committed.
Och Aaron tog, såsom Mose sade honom, och lopp midt igenom menighetena; och si, plågan var uppågången ibland folket och han rökte, och försonade folket;
48 He stood between the people who had already died and those who were still alive, and then the plague stopped.
Och stod emellan de döda och de lefvande; då vardt plågan förtagen.
49 But 14,700 people had already died from that plague/sickness, in addition to the people who died with Korah.
Men de som af plågone döde voro, voro fjortontusend och sjuhundrad, undantagnom dem som förgingos uti Korahs uppror.
50 Then after the plague had ended, Aaron and Moses/I returned to the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Och Aaron kom igen till Mose för dörrena af vittnesbördsens tabernakel; och plågan var förtagen.
