< Numbers 16 >

1 And Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, taketh both Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, sons of Reuben,
Te phoeiah Levi koca Kohath kah a ca Izhar capa Korah, Eliab ca rhoi Dathan neh Abiram, Reuben koca Peleth capa On te a khuen.
2 and they rise up before Moses, with men of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty, princes of the company, called of the convention, men of name,
Te phoeiah Israel ca lamloh hlang yahnih sawmnga, hlang kah tingtunnah khuikah ming aka thang, rhaengpuei khoboei rhoek neh Moses mikhmuh ah tlai uh.
3 and they are assembled against Moses and against Aaron, and say unto them, 'Enough of you! for all the company — all of them [are] holy, and in their midst [is] Jehovah; and wherefore do ye lift yourselves up above the assembly of Jehovah?'
Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah tingtun uh tih amih rhoi taengah, “Rhaengpuei boeih ham nangmih rhoi te rhoekoe aih. Amih te boeih cim uh tih amih lakli taengah BOEIPA om ta. Balae tih BOEIPA kah hlangping soah na palawh uh rhoi,” a ti uh.
4 And Moses heareth, and falleth on his face,
Tedae Moses loh a yaak vaengah a maelhmai dongah buekuep.
5 and he speaketh unto Korah, and unto all his company, saying, 'Morning! — and Jehovah is knowing those who are his, and him who is holy, and hath brought near unto Him; even him whom He doth fix on He bringeth near unto Him.
Te phoeiah Korah taeng neh a hlangboel boeih taengah, “Mincang ah BOEIPA amah taengkah neh hlangcim te mingpha bitni. A taengla a moe vaengah amah ham a coelh te ni anih taengah a moe pa eh.
6 This do: take to yourselves censers, Korah, and all his company,
He he saii uh lamtah Korah neh a hlangboel boeih aw, baelphaih te namamih ham lo uh.
7 and put in them fire, and put on them perfume, before Jehovah to-morrow, and it hath been, the man whom Jehovah chooseth, he [is] the holy one; — enough of you, sons of Levi.'
Te rhoek dongah hmai khueh lamtah te nen te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah bo-ul tawn pah. Thangvuen ah khaw BOEIPA kah a coelh hlang om bitni. Anih te Levi koca nangmih taengah muep cim ngawn,” a ti nah.
8 And Moses saith unto Korah, 'Hear ye, I pray you, sons of Levi;
Moses loh Korah te akhue tih, “Levi koca hnatun uh mai.
9 is it little to you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the company of Israel to bring you near unto Himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the company to serve them? —
Israel Pathen loh nangmih te Israel rhaengpuei taeng lamloh amah taengla khuen ham, BOEIPA dungtlungim kah thohtatnah dongah thohtat ham, rhaengpuei mikhmuh kah aka thotat te pai puei ham nangmih n'hoep te nangmih ham a mailai a?
10 yea, He doth bring thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee — and ye have sought also the priesthood!
Nang neh na manuca boeih, na taengkah Levi koca rhoek m'mop lalah khosoihbi na hue bal pueng.
11 Therefore, thou and all thy company who are met [are] against Jehovah; and Aaron, what [is] he, that ye murmur against him?'
Te dongah nang neh na hlangboel boeih loh BOEIPA na tuentah thil uh. A taengah a nul la na nul uh ham akhaw Aaron te mebang nim?” a ti nah.
12 And Moses sendeth to call for Dathan and for Abiram sons of Eliab, and they say, 'We do not come up;
Te phoeiah Eliab koca Dathan neh Abiram te khue ham Moses loh a tah.
13 is it little that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to put us to death in a wilderness that thou also certainly makest thyself prince over us?
Tedae, “Ka cet uh mahpawh, khosoek ah kaimih duek sak ham suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen lamloh kaimih n'caeh puei te a mailai a? Kaimih soah na boei la na boei van.
14 Yea, unto a land flowing with milk and honey thou hast not brought us in, nor dost thou give to us an inheritance of field and vineyard; the eyes of these men dost thou pick out? we do not come up.'
Suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen la kaimih nang khuen pawt bueng kolla khohmuen neh misurdum khaw kaimih ham rho nan paek loela he. Hlang te a mik na koeih aya? Ka lo uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
15 And it is very displeasing to Moses, and he saith unto Jehovah, 'Turn not Thou unto their present; not one ass from them have I taken, nor have I afflicted one of them.'
Te vaengah Moses te sai khungdaeng tih BOEIPA taengah, “Amih kah khocang taengla mael boeh, amih lamkah laak pakhat pataeng ka khuen pawt tih amih soah pakhat khaw ka thae moenih a ti nah.
16 And Moses saith unto Korah, 'Thou and all thy company, be ye before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow;
Te phoeiah Moses loh Korah te, “Namah neh na hlangboel boeih aw, thangvuen ah tah namah khaw, amih khaw Aaron khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah om uh.
17 and take ye each his censer, and ye have put on them perfume, and brought near before Jehovah, each his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou and Aaron, each his censer.'
Hlang loh amah baelphaih khuen saeh lamtah a khuiah bo-ul khueh pah. Te vaengah hlang kah a baelphaih khaw, nang neh Aaron kah khaw, khat rhip kah a baelphaih te baelphaih yahnih sawmnga la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah khuen pah,” a ti nah.
18 And they take each his censer, and put on them fire, and lay on them perfume, and they stand at the opening of the tent of meeting, with Moses and Aaron.
Te dongah hlang tom loh a baelphaih te a loh tih a khuiah hmai a poep uh. Te soah bo-ul a poep thil phoeiah tah tingtunnah dap thohka kah Moses neh Aaron taengah pai uh.
19 And Korah assembleth against them all the company unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah is seen by all the company.
Tingtunnah dap thohka kah amih hmai ah Korah loh rhaengpuei boeih te a tingtun sak. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tah rhaengpuei boeih taengah a tueng pah.
20 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
21 'Be ye separated from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;'
He rhaengpuei khui lamloh tuiphih rhoi lamtah amih te mikhaptok ah ni ka khah eh?,” a ti nah.
22 and they fall on their faces, and say, 'God, God of the spirits of all flesh — the one man sinneth, and against all the company Thou art wroth!'
Tedae a maelhmai dongah bakop rhoi tih, “Pathen aw, pumsa cungkuem kah Mueihla Pathen aw, hlang pakhat a tholh dongah rhaengpuei boeih taengah na thintoek mai,” a ti rhoi.
23 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
24 'Speak unto the company, saying, Go ye up from round about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'
Rhaengpuei te voek lamtah thui pah. Korah, Dathan neh Abiram kah dungtlungim taeng kaepvai lamloh cet uh laeh,” a ti nah.
25 And Moses riseth, and goeth unto Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel go after him,
Moses te thoo tih Israel kah a ham rhoek Dathan neh Abiram neh anih hnukah aka cet rhoek te a paan.
26 and he speaketh unto the company, saying, 'Turn aside, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and come not against anything that they have, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.'
Rhaengpuei taengah a thui pah tih, “Halang hlang rhoek kah dap dong lamlong he nong uh laeh, amih taengkah boeih te tah ben uh boeh, amih kah tholh cungkuem dongah na khoengvoep uh ve,” a ti nah.
27 And they go up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, from round about, and Dathan, and Abiram have come out, standing at the opening of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their infants.
Te dongah Korah, Dathan kah dungtlungim taeng lamkah neh Abiram kaepvai lamloh nong uh. Te vaengah amamih kah dap thohka ah aka pai Dathan neh Abiram tah a yuu rhoek neh a ca rhoek khaw, camoe khaw ha moe uh.
28 And Moses saith, 'By this ye do know that Jehovah hath sent me to do all these works, that [they are] not from my own heart;
Te vaengah Moses loh, “He bitat cungkuem saii ham he kamah lungbuei lamkah pawt tih BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih khaw he nen he ming uh.
29 if according to the death of all men these die — or the charge of all men is charged upon them — Jehovah hath not sent me;
Hlang cungkuem a duek bangla he rhoek duek tih hlang cungkuem aka cawhkung bangla amih neh cawh koinih BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih mahpawh.
30 and if a strange thing Jehovah do, and the ground hath opened her mouth and swallowed them, and all that they have, and they have gone down alive to Sheol — then ye have known that these men have despised Jehovah.' (Sheol h7585)
Tedae BOEIPA loh hnothai a suen tih diklai loh a ka a ang khaming. Te vaengah amamih neh amih taengkah a cungkuem te dolh saeh lamtah a hingnah te saelkhui la suntla uh saeh. Te vaengah he kah hlang rhoek loh BOEIPA a tlaitlaek uh te na ming uh bitni,” a ti nah. (Sheol h7585)
31 And it cometh to pass at his finishing speaking all these words, that the ground which [is] under them cleaveth,
He ol cungkuem a thui te a khah van neh diklai te a dang ueth coeng.
32 and the earth openeth her mouth, and swalloweth them, and their houses, and all the men who [are] for Korah, and all the goods,
Te dongah diklai loh a ka a ang tih amih, Korah neh a im khaw, a hlang boeih neh a khuehtawn boeih te a dolh pah.
33 and they go down, they, and all that they have, alive to Sheol, and the earth closeth over them, and they perish from the midst of the assembly; (Sheol h7585)
Amih neh amih taengkah boeih te saelkhui ah a hing la a suntlak uh phoeiah tah amih te diklai loh a et tih hlangping lakli lamloh milh uh. (Sheol h7585)
34 and all Israel who [are] round about them have fled at their voice, for they said, 'Lest the earth swallow us;'
Te dongah amih kaepvai kah Israel pum long tah, “Diklai loh mamih n'dolh van ve,” a ti uh tih a ol neh rhaelrham uh.
35 and fire hath come out from Jehovah, and consumeth the two hundred and fifty men bringing near the perfume.
Te phoeiah hmai te BOEIPA taeng lamloh ha puek tih bo-ul aka nawn hlang yahnih sawmnga te hlawp.
36 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
37 'Say unto Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, and he lifteth up the censers from the midst of the burning, and the fire scatter thou yonder, for they have been hallowed,
“Khosoih Aaron capa Eleazar te thui pah. Baelphaih te ungkhang laklo lamloh koeih saeh lamtah hmai te khaw a ciim coeng dongah voelh thaek saeh.
38 [even] the censers of these sinners against their own souls; and they have made them spread-out plates, a covering for the altar, for they have brought them near before Jehovah, and they are hallowed; and they are become a sign to the sons of Israel.'
Amih kah hinglu kongah he hlangtholh rhoek kah baelphaih rhoek he phaldaep la phal uh saeh lamtah hmueihtuk dongkah a ben ham khaw te te saii uh saeh. Te rhoek te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nawn uh saeh lamtah ciim uh saeh. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek ham miknoek la om saeh,” a ti nah.
39 And Eleazar the priest taketh the brazen censers which they who are burnt had brought near, and they spread them out, a covering for the altar —
Te dongah a khuen uh tih aka ung tangtae rhohum baelphaih te khosoih Eleazar a loh. Te phoeiah te te hmueihtuk dongkah ben ham a daep uh.
40 a memorial to the sons of Israel, so that a stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron doth not draw near to make a perfume before Jehovah, and is not as Korah, and as his company, — as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses to him.
Israel ca rhoek ham poekkoepnah la a om daengah ni Aaron tiingan lamkah mueh atah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah bo-ul phum ham kholong hlang a mop pawt eh. Te dongah BOEIPA Moses kut dongah a uen vanbangla Korah neh a hlangboel bang tah om boel saeh.
41 And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur, on the morrow, against Moses and against Aaron, saying, 'Ye — ye have put to death the people of Jehovah.'
A vuen ah tah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih te Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah nul tih, “BOEIPA kah pilnam te na duek sak rhoi,” a ti nauh.
42 And it cometh to pass, in the company being assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they turn towards the tent of meeting, and lo, the cloud hath covered it, and the honour of Jehovah is seen;
Tedae rhaengpuei loh Moses neh Aaron te a tingtun thil uh tih tingtunnah dap la mael uh. Te vaengah cingmai loh tarha a thing tih BOEIPA kah thangpomnah khaw tueng.
43 and Moses cometh — Aaron also — unto the front of the tent of meeting.
Te daengah Moses neh Aaron te tingtunnah dap hmai la moe rhoi.
44 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
45 'Get you up from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;' and they fall on their faces,
“He rhaengpuei khui lamloh cungpet rhoi lamtah amih te mikhaptok ah ni ka khah eh?,” a ti nah. Te dongah a maelhmai neh bakop rhoi.
46 and Moses saith unto Aaron, 'Take the censer, and put on it fire from off the altar, and place perfume, and go, hasten unto the company, and make atonement for them, for the wrath hath gone out from the presence of Jehovah — the plague hath begun.'
Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron taengah, “Baelphaih te lo lamtah a khuiah hmueihtuk dongkah hmai na poep phoeiah bo-ul mop thil, rhaengpuei taengla tlek cet lamtah amih ham dawth pah. BOEIPA maelhmai dong lamloh thinhulnah ha thoeng tih tlohthae ha tawn uh coeng,” a ti nah.
47 And Aaron taketh as Moses hath spoken, and runneth unto the midst of the assembly, and lo, the plague hath begun among the people; and he giveth the perfume, and maketh atonement for the people,
Te dongah Moses kah a thui bangla Aaron loh a loh tih hlangping khui la yong. Te vaengah tlohthae loh pilnam tarha a phoei coeng. Tedae bo-ul te a phum tih pilnam ham a dawth pah.
48 and standeth between the dead and the living, and the plague is restrained;
Aka duek laklo neh aka hing laklo ah a pai vaengah lucik khaw cing.
49 and those who die by the plague are fourteen thousand and seven hundred, apart from those who die for the matter of Korah;
Korah ol ah a duek uh bueng kolla lucik ah aka duek rhoek he thawng hlai li ya rhih lo uh.
50 and Aaron turneth back unto Moses, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and the plague hath been restrained.
Lucik a cing daengah Aaron khaw tingtunnah dap thohka kah Moses taengla mael.
