< Numbers 16 >

1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took some men.
茲にレビの子コハテの子イヅハルの子なるコラおよびルベンの子等なるエリアブの子ダタンとアビラム並にペレテの子オン等相結び
2 They rose up before Moses, with some of the children of Israel, two hundred fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown.
イスラエルの子孫の會衆の中に選まれて牧伯となれるところの名ある人々二百五十人とともに起てモーセに逆らふ
3 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 do you lift yourselves up above the LORD’s assembly?”
すなはち彼等集りてモーセとアロンに逆ひ之に言けるは汝らはその分を超ゆ會衆みな盡く聖者となりてヱホバその中に在すなるに汝ら尚ヱホバの會衆の上に立つや
4 When Moses heard it, he fell on his face.
モーセこれを聞て俯伏たりしが
5 He said to Korah and to all his company, “In the morning, the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him. Even him whom he shall choose, he will cause to come near to him.
やがてコラとその一切の黨類に言けるは明日ヱホバ己の所屬は誰聖者は誰なるかを示して其者を己に近かせたまはん即ちその選びたまへる者を己に近かせたまふべし
6 Do this: have Korah and all his company take censers,
汝等かく爲よコラとその黨類よ汝等みな火盤を取り
7 put fire in them, and put incense on them before the LORD tomorrow. It shall be that the man whom the LORD chooses, he shall be holy. You have gone too far, you sons of Levi!”
その中に火をいれその中に香を盛て明日ヱホバの前に至れその時ヱホバの選みたまふ人は聖者たるべしレビの人々よ汝等はその分を超るなり
8 Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi!
モーセまたコラに言けるは汝等レビの子等よ請ふ聽け
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 LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;
イスラエルの神汝らをイスラエルの會衆の中より分ち己に近かせてヱホバの幕屋の役事を爲しめ會衆の前に立て之にかはりて勤務をなさしめたまふ是あに汝らにとりて小き事ならんや
10 and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? Do you seek the priesthood also?
神すでに汝と汝の兄弟なるレビの兒孫等を己に近かせたまふに汝らまた祭司とならんことをも求むるや
11 Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against the LORD! What is Aaron that you complain against him?”
汝と汝の黨類は皆これがために集りてヱホバに敵するなりアロンを如何なる者として汝等これに對ひて呟くや
12 Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, “We won’t come up!
かくてモーセ、エリアブの子ダタンとアビラムを呼に遣はしけるに彼等いひけるは我等は上り往じ
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?
汝は乳と蜜との流るる地より我らを導き出して曠野に我らを殺さんとす是あに小き事ならんや然るに汝また我等の上に君たらんとす
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.”
且また汝は我らを乳と蜜との流るる地にも導きゆかずまた田畝をも葡萄園をも我らに與へて有たしめず汝この人々の目を抉りとらんとするや我等は上りゆかじ
15 Moses was very angry, and said to the LORD, “Don’t respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.”
是においてモーセおほいに怒りヱホバに申しけるは汝かれらの禮物を顧みたまふ勿れ我はかれらより驢馬一匹をも取しことなくまた彼等を一人も害せしこと無し
16 Moses said to Korah, “You and all your company go before the LORD, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow.
斯てモーセ、コラに言けるは汝と汝の黨類みなアロンと偕に明日ヱホバの前に至れ
17 Each man take his censer and put incense on it, and each man bring before the LORD his censer, two hundred fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each with his censer.”
即ち汝らおのおの火盤を執てその中に香を盛り各人その火盤をヱホバの前に携へいたれその火祭は都合二百五十汝とアロンも各々その火盤を携へいたるべしと
18 They each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.
彼等すなはち各々火盤を執り火をその中にいれて香をその上に盛りモーセおよびアロンとともに集會の幕屋の門に立り
19 Korah assembled all the congregation opposite them to the door of the Tent of Meeting. The LORD’s glory appeared to all the congregation.
コラ會衆をことごとく集會の幕屋の門に集めおきてかれら二人に敵せしめんとせしにヱホバの榮光全會衆に顯れ
20 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
ヱホバ、モーセとアロンに告て言たまひけるは
21 “Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!”
汝等この會衆を離れよ我これを直に滅さんとすと
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?”
是においてかれら二人俯伏て言ふ神よ一切の血肉ある者の生命の神よこの一人の者罪を犯したればとて汝全會衆にむかひて怒を發したまふや
23 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
24 “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram!’”
汝會衆にむかひてコラとダタンとアビラムの居所の周圍を去れと言へと
25 Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
モーセすなはち起あがりてダタンとアビラムの所に往けるがイスラエルの長老等これに從がひいたれり
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!”
而してモーセ會衆に告て言けるは汝らこの惡き人々の天幕を離れて去れ彼等の物には何にも捫る勿れ恐くは彼らの諸の罪のために汝らも滅ぼされん
27 So they went away from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents with their wives, their sons, and their little ones.
是において人々はコラとダタンとアビラムの居所を離れて四方に去ゆけりまたダタンとアビラムはその妻子ならびに幼兒とともに出てその天幕の門に立り
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.
モーセやがて言けるは汝等ヱホバがこの諸の事をなさせんとて我を遣したまへる事また我がこれを自分の心にしたがひて行ふにあらざる事を是によりて知べし
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they experience what all men experience, then the LORD hasn’t sent me.
すなはちこの人々もし一般の人の死るごとくに死に一般の人の罰せらるる如くに罰せられなばヱホバわれを遣したまはざるなり
30 But if the LORD makes a new thing, and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows them up with all that belong to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall understand that these men have despised the LORD.” (Sheol h7585)
然どヱホバもし新しき事を爲たまひ地その口を開きてこの人々と之に屬する者を呑つくして生ながら陰府に下らしめなばこの人々はヱホバを瀆ししなりと汝ら知るべし (Sheol h7585)
31 As he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split apart.
モーセこの一切の言をのべ終れる時かれらの下なる土裂け
32 The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up with their households, all of Korah’s men, and all their goods.
地その口を開きてかれらとその家族の者ならびにコラに屬する一切の男等と一切の所有品を呑つくせり
33 So they, and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol. The earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
すなはち彼等とかれらに屬する者はみな生ながら陰府に下りて地その上に閉ふさがりぬ彼等かく會衆の中より滅ぼされたりしが (Sheol h7585)
34 All Israel that were around them fled at their cry; for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!”
その周圍に居たるイスラエル人は皆かれらの叫喊を聞て逃はしり恐くは地われらをも呑つくさんと言り
35 Fire came out from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense.
且またヱホバの許より火いでてかの香をそなへたる者二百五十人を燒つくせり
36 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
時にヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
37 “Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire away from the camp; for they are holy,
汝祭司アロンの子エレアザルに告てその燃る火の中より彼の火盤を取いださしめその中の火を遠方に傾すてよその火盤は聖なりたればなり
38 even the censers of those who sinned against their own lives. Let them be beaten into plates for a covering of the altar, for they offered them before the LORD. Therefore they are holy. They shall be a sign to the children of Israel.”
而してその罪を犯して生命を喪へる者等の火盤は之を濶き展版となして祭壇を包むに用ひよ彼等ヱホバの前にそなへしに因て是は聖なりたればなり斯是はイスラエルの子孫に徴と爲べし
39 Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers which those who were burned had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,
是において祭司エンアザル彼の燒死されし者等が用ひてそなへたる銅の火盤を取いだしければ之を濶く打展し之をもて祭壇を包み
40 to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger who isn’t of the offspring of Aaron, would come 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.
之をイスラエルの子孫の記念の物と爲り是はアロンの子孫たらざる外人が近りてヱホバの前に香を焚こと無らんため亦かかる人ありてコラとその黨類のごとくにならざらん爲なり是みなヱホバがモーセをもて彼にのたまひし所に依るなり
41 But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”
その翌日イスラエルの子孫の會衆みなモーセとアロンにむかひて呟き汝等はヱホバの民を殺せりと言り
42 When the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, they looked toward the Tent of Meeting. Behold, the cloud covered it, and the LORD’s glory appeared.
會衆集りてモーセとアロンに敵する時集會の幕屋を望み觀に雲ありてこれを覆ひヱホバの榮光顯れをる
43 Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.
時にモーセとアロン集會の幕屋の前にいたりけるに
44 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
ヱホバ、モーせに言たまひけるは
45 “Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!” They fell on their faces.
汝らこの會衆をはなれて去れ我直にこれをほろぼさんとすと是において彼等二人は俯伏ぬ
46 Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, put fire from the altar in it, lay incense on it, carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the LORD! The plague has begun.”
斯てモーセ、アロンに言けるは汝火盤を執り壇の火を之にいれ香をその上に盛て速かにこれを會衆の中に持ゆき之がために贖罪を爲せ其はヱホバ震怒を發したまひて疫病すでに始りたればなりと
47 Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the middle of the assembly. The plague had already begun among the people. He put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
アロンすなはちモーセの命ぜしごとくに之を執て會衆の中に奔ゆきけるに疫病すでに民の中に始まり居たれば香を焚て民のために贖罪を爲し
48 He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
旣に死る者と尚生る者との間に立ければ疫病止まれり
49 Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, in addition to those who died about the matter of Korah.
コラの事によりて死たる者の外この疫病に死たる者は一萬四千七百人なりき
50 Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and the plague was stopped.
而してアロンはモーセの許にかへり集會の幕屋の門にいたれり疫病は斯やみぬ
