Mose 4 16
1 Gbe ɖeka la, Korah, Izhar ƒe viŋutsu kple Kohat ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi, ame si nye Levi ƒe dzidzimevi la wɔ ɖoɖo kple Datan kple Abiram, ame siwo nye Eliab ƒe viŋutsuwo kple On, Pelet ƒe viŋutsu. Ame etɔ̃ siawo katã tso Ruben ƒe to la me.
Nowe Korah the sonne of Izhar, the sonne of Kohath, the sonne of Leui went apart with Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab, and On the sonne of Peleth, the sonnes of Reuben:
2 Ɖoɖo lae nye be woana amewo nadze aglã ɖe Mose ŋu. Ame siwo lɔ̃ ɖe aglãdzedze ƒe ɖoɖo sia dzi kple Israelviwo ƒe xexlẽmee nye ame alafa eve blaatɔ̃. Wonye kplɔlawo kple aɖaŋudelawo.
And they rose vp against Moses, with certaine of the children of Israel, two hundreth and fiftie captaines of the assemblie, famous in the Congregation, and men of renoume,
3 Woyi Mose kple Aron gbɔ, eye wogblɔ na wo be, “Miaƒe asitɔakɔnyawo va ti kɔ na mí azɔ. Mienyo wu ame bubu aɖeke o. Israelvi ɖe sia ɖe nye Yehowa ƒe ame tiatia, eye wòli kpli mí katã. Mɔ ka miekpɔ be miado mia ɖokuiwo ɖe dzi, agblɔ be ele be míaɖo to mi, eye mianɔ wɔwɔm abe ɖe mielolo wu Yehowa ƒe ame siawo dometɔ aɖe ene?”
Who gathered themselues together against Moses, and against Aaron, and sayde vnto them, Ye take too much vpon you, seeing all the Congregation is holie, euery one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherfore then lift ye your selues aboue the Congregation of the Lord?
4 Esi Mose se nya si gblɔm wole la, etsyɔ mo anyi.
But when Moses heard it, hee fell vpon his face,
5 Egblɔ na Korah kple ame siwo le eŋu la be, “Le ŋdi la, Yehowa afia ame siwo nye etɔwo, ame si le kɔkɔe kple ame si wòtia abe nunɔla ene la mi.
And spake to Korah and vnto all his companie, saying, To morow the Lord will shew who is his, and who is holy, and who ought to approche neere vnto him: and whom he hath chosen, hee will cause to come neere to him.
6 Ele be wò, Korah kple yowòmedzelawo katã miawɔ ale: Mitsɔ dzudzɔdosonuwo,
This doe therefore, Take you censers, both Korah, and all his companie,
7 eye etsɔ la, miade dzo kple lifi wo me le Yehowa ŋkume. Ame si Yehowa atia lae anye ame si le kɔkɔe. Mi Levi ƒe viwo, mia tɔ gbɔ eme.”
And put fire therein, and put incense in the before the Lord to morowe: and the man whome the Lord doeth chuse, the same shalbe holie: ye take too much vpon you, ye sonnes of Leui.
8 Mose gblɔ na Korah be, “Azɔ, mi Levi ƒe viwo, miɖo to.
Againe Moses saide vnto Korah, Heare, I pray you, ye sonnes of Leui.
9 Mesɔ gbɔ na mi be Israel ƒe Mawu la ɖe mi ɖa tso Israel ƒe ameha la me, kplɔ mi te ɖe eɖokui ŋu be miawɔ dɔ le Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔ la me, eye miatsi tsitre ɖe ameha la ŋkume asubɔ wo oa?
Seemeth it a small thing vnto you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel, to take you neere to himselfe, to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the Congregation and to minister vnto them?
10 Ɖe ale si wòtsɔ dɔ sia de asi na mi Levi ƒe viwo ɖeɖe ko la mesɔ gbɔ na mi oa? Ke azɔ la, ɖe miele didim be yewoazu nunɔlawo hã mahã?
He hath also taken thee to him, and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with thee, and seeke ye the office of the Priest also?
11 Yehowa ŋue mi kple mia yomedzelawo katã miebla ɖo. Ame kae nye Aron be mialĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le eŋu?”
For which cause, thou, and all thy companie are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmure against him?
12 Mose ɖo du ɖe Datan kple Abiram, Eliab ƒe viŋutsuwo, ke wogblɔ be, “Míegbɔna o!”
And Moses sent to call Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab: who answered, We will not come vp.
13 Ɖeko wogblɔ be, “Ɖe nèbui be nu sue aɖe ko wònye nèwɔ be nèkplɔ mí dzoe le Egipte, tso anyigba nyui ma dzi be yeawu mí le gbegbe afi sia? Ke azɔ la, ɖe nègadi gɔ̃ hã be yeaɖu fia ɖe mía dzia?
Is it a small thing that thou hast brought vs out of a lande that floweth with milke and honie, to kill vs in the wildernesse, except thou make thy selfe lord and ruler ouer vs also?
14 Gawu la, mèkplɔ mí yi anyigba wɔnuku si ŋugbe nèdo na mí la hã dzi o, eye mèna agbledenyigba kple waingblewo mí o. Ame kawoe nèle agbagba dzem be yeabu abunɛtɔwoe? Míegbɔna o!”
Also thou hast not brought vs vnto a land that floweth with milke and honie, neither giuen vs inheritance of fieldes and vineyardes: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come vp.
15 Mose do dɔmedzoe vevie, eye wògblɔ na Yehowa be, “Mègaxɔ woƒe vɔsawo o! Nyemefi woƒe tedzi gɔ̃ hã kpɔ o, eye nyemewɔ nuvevi aɖeke wo dometɔ aɖeke kpɔ hã o.”
Then Moses waxed verie angry, and saide vnto the Lord, Looke not vnto their offring: I haue not taken so much as an asse from them, neither haue I hurt any of them.
16 Mose gblɔ na Korah be, “Miva afi sia etsɔ, wò kple yowòmedzelawo katã, eye miado ɖe Yehowa ŋkume; Aron hã anɔ afi sia.
And Moses said vnto Korah, Bee thou and al thy companie before the Lord: both thou, they, and Aaron to morowe:
17 Ame sia ame natsɔ dzudzɔdosonu ɖe asi, akɔ dzudzɔdonu ɖe wo me. Wo katã ƒe xexlẽme nanye alafa eve blaatɔ̃, eye miatsɔ wo va Yehowa ŋkume. Wò kple Aron hã, miatsɔ miaƒe dzudzɔdosunuwo ɖe asi vɛ.”
And take euery man his censor, and put incense in them, and bring ye euery man his censor before the Lord, two hundreth and fiftie censors: thou also and Aaron, euery one his censor.
18 Ale wotsɔ woƒe dzudzɔdosonuwo vɛ, ɖe dzo ɖe wo me, kɔ dzudzɔdonuwo ɖe wo me, eye wova tsi tsitre ɖe Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu kple Mose kple Aron.
So they tooke euery man his censor, and put fire in them, and laide incense thereon, and stoode in the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation with Moses and Aaron.
19 Esi Korah ƒo eyomedzelawo katã nu ƒu ɖe Agbadɔ la ƒe ŋkume be woatsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋuti la, Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖe eɖokui fia ameha blibo la.
And Korah gathered all the multitude against them vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: then the glorie of the Lord appeared vnto all the Congregation.
20 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
21 “Miɖe mia ɖokuiwo ɖa le ame siawo dome ale be matsrɔ̃ wo enumake.”
Separate your selues from among this Cogregation, that I may consume them at once.
22 Mose kple Aron wotsyɔ mo anyi le Yehowa ŋkume, eye woƒo koko nɛ gblɔ be, “O! Mawu, amegbetɔwo katã ƒe gbɔgbɔ ƒe Mawu, ɖe nàdo dɔmedzoe ɖe ameawo katã ŋuti esi wònye ame ɖeka koe wɔ nu vɔ̃a?”
And they fell vpon their faces and saide, O God the God of the spirits, of all fleshe, hath not one man onely sinned, and wilt thou bee wroth with all the Congregation?
23 Tete Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
24 “Gblɔ na ƒuƒoƒe la be, ‘Mite ɖa tso Korah, Datan kple Abiram ƒe agbadɔwo gbɔ.’”
Speake vnto the Congregation and say, Get you away from about the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.
25 Ale Mose ɖe abla yi Datan kple Abiram ƒe agbadɔwo gbɔ, eye Israel ƒe dumemetsitsiwo kplɔe ɖo.
Then Moses rose vp, and went vnto Dathan and Abiram, and the Elders of Israel followed him.
26 Mose xlɔ̃ nu ameha la be, “Miɖe abla miadzo le ame vɔ̃ɖi siawo ƒe agbadɔwo gbɔ; migaka asi woƒe naneke ŋu o, ne menye nenema o la, abala míawo hã, eye Yehowa atsrɔ̃ miawo hã ɖe woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.”
And he spake vnto the Congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tentes of these wicked men, and touche nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sinnes.
27 Ale ameawo katã te ɖa le Korah, Datan kple Abiram ƒe agbadɔwo gbɔ. Datan kple Abiram do go tso woƒe agbadɔwo me, eye wotsi tsitre ɖe woƒe agbadɔwo ƒe mɔnu kple wo srɔ̃wo, wo viŋutsuwo kple wo vi suewo.
So they gate them away from the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram on euerie side: and Dathan, and Abiram came out and stood in the doore of their tentes with their wiues, and their sonnes, and their little children.
28 Eye Mose gblɔ be, “To nu sia me la, mianya be Yehowae dɔm ɖa be mawɔ nu siawo katã, eye menye nye ŋutɔ nye susu o.
And Moses saide, Hereby yee shall knowe that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works: for I haue not done them of mine owne minde.
29 Ne ŋutsu siawo aku dzɔdzɔmeku alo nu si dzɔna ɖe ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe dzi koe dzɔ ɖe wo dzi la, ekema menye Yehowae dɔm o.
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men, the Lord hath not sent me.
30 Gake nenye be Yehowa ana nu yeye aɖe kura nadzɔ, anyigba nake nu ami wo kple nu sia nu si nye wo tɔ, eye woayi tsiẽƒe agbagbee la, ekema mianya be ŋutsu siawo wɔ nu tovo ɖe Yehowa ŋu.” (Sheol h7585)
But if the Lord make a newe thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallowe them vp with all that they haue, and they goe downe quicke into ye pit, then ye shall vnderstand that these men haue prouoked the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
31 Esi Mose wu nya siawo nu teti ko la, anyigba la wo le wo te zi ɖeka,
And assoone as he had made an ende of speaking all these wordes, euen the ground claue asunder that was vnder them,
32 eye anyigba la mi wo kple woƒe aƒemenuwo katã, eye nenema kee nye Korah yomedzelawo katã kple woƒe nunɔamesiwo katã hã.
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them vp, with their families, and all the men that were with Korah, and all their goods.
33 Ale woyi tsiẽƒe agbagbe kple woƒe nunɔamesiwo katã, eye anyigba tu ɖe wo nu, hetsrɔ̃ wo, eye wodo ɖa le ameha la dome. (Sheol h7585)
So they and all that they had, went down aliue into the pit, and the earth couered them: so they perished from among the Congregation. (Sheol h7585)
34 Esi ame siwo yi tsiẽƒe la nɔ ɣli dom la, Israelvi siwo katã ƒo xlã wo la de asi sisi me henɔ ɣli dom be, “Anyigba le míawo hã mi ge.”
And all Israel that were about them, fled at the crie of them: for they said, Let vs flee, least the earth swalow vs vp.
35 Dzo ge tso Yehowa gbɔ va fia ame alafa eve blaatɔ̃ siwo nɔ dzudzɔ dom.
But there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundreth and fiftie men that offred the incense.
36 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
37 “Gblɔ na Eleazar, Aron, nunɔla la ƒe viŋutsu be wòaɖe dzudzɔdonu mawo le dzo la me, eye wòakaka akawo ɖe teƒe didi aɖe, elabena dzoɖesonuawo le kɔkɔe
Speake vnto Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest, that he take vp the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire beyond the altar: for they are halowed,
38 tso ame siwo wɔ nu vɔ̃, eye woku la ƒe dzudzɔdosonuwo gbɔ. Na wòatsɔ dzudzɔdosonuawo atu ga gbadza aɖe atsyɔ vɔsamlekpui la dzi, elabena dzudzɔdosonu siawo le kɔkɔe esi wowɔ wo ŋu dɔ le Yehowa ŋkume ta. Ale ga gbadza si tsyɔ vɔsamlekpui la dzi la azu ŋkuɖodzinu na Israelviwo.”
The censers, I say, of these sinners, that destroyed themselues: and let them make of them broade plates for a couering of the Altar: for they offered them before the Lord, therefore they shalbe holy, and they shall be a signe vnto the children of Israel.
39 Ale nunɔla Eleazar tsɔ akɔblidzudzɔdosonu alafa eve blaatɔ̃ la tu ga ɖeka hena vɔsamlekpui la dzi tsyɔtsyɔ
Then Eleazar the Priest tooke the brasen censers, which they, that were burnt, had offred, and made broade plates of them for a couering of the Altar.
40 be wòanye ŋkuɖodzinu na Israelviwo be ame sia ame si menye Aron ƒe dzidzimevi o la mekpɔ mɔ ava Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòado dzudzɔ o; ne menye nenema o la, nu si wɔ Korah kple eyomedzelawo la awɔ eya hã. Ale wowɔ ɖe ɖoɖo siwo Yehowa na Mose la dzi.
It is a remembrance vnto the children of Israel, that no stranger which is not of the seede of Aaron, come neere to offer incense before the Lord, that he be not like Korah and his company, as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses.
41 Esi ŋu ke ŋdi la, Israelviwo katã gade asi liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ me ɖe Mose kple Aron ŋu, henɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Miewu Yehowa ƒe amewo.”
But on the morowe all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye haue killed the people of the Lord.
42 Ale ameha gã aɖe ƒo ƒu; kasia woakpɔ agbadɔ la gbɔ ɖa la, wokpɔ lilikpo la kple Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe la.
And when the Congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, then they turned their faces toward the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and beholde, the cloude couered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
43 Mose kple Aron yi agbadɔ la ŋgɔ,
Then Moses and Aaron were come before the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
44 eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be.
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
45 “Mite ɖa le ame siawo gbɔ, ale be mate ŋu atsrɔ̃ wo enumake.” Ke Mose kple Aron wotsyɔ mo anyi le Yehowa ŋkume.
Get you vp from among this Congregation: for I wil consume them quickly: then they fell vpon their faces.
46 Mose gblɔ na Aron be, “Netsɔ! Tsɔ dzudzɔdosonu ɖeka, ɖe dzo tso vɔsamlekpui la me de eme, da dzudzɔdonu ɖe edzi, ɖe abla kplii yi ameawo dome, eye nàlé avu ɖe wo nu, elabena Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe ge ɖe wo dome, eye dɔvɔ̃ to gɔ̃ hã xoxo.”
And Moses said vnto Aaron, Take the censer and put fire therein of the Altar, and put therein incense, and goe quickly vnto the Congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord: the plague is begunne.
47 Aron wɔ nu si Mose ɖo nɛ. Eƒu du yi ameawo dome, elabena dɔvɔ̃ la to xoxo. Etɔ dzo dzudzɔdonu la, eye wòlé avu ɖe wo nu.
Then Aaron tooke as Moses commanded him, and ranne into the middes of the Congregation, and beholde, the plague was begun among the people, and hee put in incense, and made an atonement for the people.
48 Etsi tsitre ɖe ame kukuawo kple agbagbeawo dome, eye dɔvɔ̃ la nu tso,
And when hee stoode betweene the dead, and them that were aliue, the plague was stayed.
49 ke ame akpe wuiene alafa adre ku xoxo kpe ɖe ame siwo ku kple Korah le ŋkeke si do ŋgɔ la ŋu.
So they died of this plague fourtene thousande and seuen hundreth, beside them that dyed in the conspiracie of Korah.
50 Aron trɔ va Mose gbɔ le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Ale dɔvɔ̃ la nu tso.
And Aaron went againe vnto Moses before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the plague was stayed.
