< 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.
UKhora indodana ka-Izihari, indodana kaKhohathi, indodana kaLevi, labathile abakoRubheni, uDathani kanye lo-Abhiramu, amadodana ka-Eliyabi, kanye lo-Oni indodana kaPhelethi baqala ukuba yiziqholo
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.
bavukela uMosi. Bakwenza lokhu bendawonye lamanye amadoda angamakhulu amabili alamatshumi amahlanu ako-Israyeli, abakhokheli abadumileyo babantu bakuleyondawo ababekhethelwe ukuthi babe ngamalunga enkundla.
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?”
Beza beliqembu ukuzomelana loMosi lo-Aroni bathi kubo, “Seledlulise amalawulo! Abantu bonke bako-Israyeli bangcwele, bonke ngamunye wabo, njalo uThixo uyabasekela. Pho kungani liziphakamisa ngaphezu kwabantu bakaThixo na?”
4 Esi Mose se nya si gblɔm wole la, etsyɔ mo anyi.
UMosi wathi ekuzwa lokhu, wawela phansi ngobuso.
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.
Wasesithi kuKhora lakubalandeli bakhe: “Kusasa ekuseni uThixo uzaveza obala ukuthi ngubani ongowakhe lokuthi ngubani ongcwele, njalo uzamvumela lowomuntu ukuthi asondele kuye. Indoda azayikhetha uzayivumela ukuthi isondele phansi kwakhe.
6 Ele be wò, Korah kple yowòmedzelawo katã miawɔ ale: Mitsɔ dzudzɔdosonuwo,
Wena, Khora, kanye labalandeli bakho yenzani lokhu: Thathani indengezi
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.”
kuthi kusasa libasele umlilo njalo litshisele impepha kuzo phambi kukaThixo. Indoda ezakhethwa nguThixo yiyo engcwele. Lina baLevi seledlulise amalawulo!”
8 Mose gblɔ na Korah be, “Azɔ, mi Levi ƒe viwo, miɖo to.
UMosi wabuye wathi kuKhora, “Khathesi lalelani-ke, lina baLevi!
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?
Kanti akulanelisanga yini ukuthi uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ulikhethile phakathi kwabo bonke abako-Israyeli njalo walisondeza phansi kwakhe ukuze lenze umsebenzi ethabanikeleni likaThixo lokuthi lizakuma phambi kwesizwe lisenzele inkonzo na?
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?
Ukusondezile wena kanye labanye bakho abangabaLevi phansi kwakhe, kodwa-ke khathesi selifuna lobuphristi.
11 Yehowa ŋue mi kple mia yomedzelawo katã miebla ɖo. Ame kae nye Aron be mialĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le eŋu?”
Ukubambana kwakho kanye labalandeli bakho kuyikumelana loThixo limphikisa. Kambe ungubani u-Aroni elingakhonona ngaye?”
12 Mose ɖo du ɖe Datan kple Abiram, Eliab ƒe viŋutsuwo, ke wogblɔ be, “Míegbɔna o!”
Ngakho uMosi wabiza uDathani lo-Abhiramu amadodana ka-Eliyabi. Kodwa bona bathi, “Vele kasibuyi!
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?
Kambe bekungenelanga yini ukuthi wasikhipha elizweni eligeleza uchago loluju ukuzasibulalela enkangala na? Khathesi usufuna lokuba yinkosi phezu kwethu?
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!”
Kunjalo-nje, awukasingenisi elizweni eligeleza uchago loluju kumbe ukusipha ilifa lamasimu kanye lezivini. Ufuna ukukopola amehlo amadoda la na? Hatshi, kasibuyi!”
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.”
Ngalokho uMosi wathukuthela kakhulu wasesithi kuThixo, “Ungawemukeli umnikelo wabo. Angithathanga lutho kubo ngitsho lobabhemi kodwa lokhu, njalo kakho loyedwa engimoneleyo.”
16 Mose gblɔ na Korah be, “Miva afi sia etsɔ, wò kple yowòmedzelawo katã, eye miado ɖe Yehowa ŋkume; Aron hã anɔ afi sia.
UMosi wathi kuKhora, “Wena kanye labo bonke abalandeli bakho kumele lime phambi kukaThixo kusasa, wena, bona kanye lo-Aroni.
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.”
Indoda inye nganye kumele ithathe udengezi ifake impepha kulo, indengezi ezingamakhulu amabili alamatshumi amahlanu, njalo iwethule phambi kukaThixo. Wena kanye lo-Aroni lani kufanele liveze ezenu indengezi.”
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.
Ngakho indoda inye ngayinye yathatha udengezi lwayo, yafaka umlilo kanye lempepha kulo, njalo yema loMosi lo-Aroni esangweni lethente lokuhlangana.
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.
Kwathi uKhora esebaqoqile abalandeli bakhe bephikisana labo esangweni lethente lokuhlangana, inkazimulo kaThixo yabonakala kubo bonke abantu ababebuthene kuleyondawo.
20 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
UThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni,
21 “Miɖe mia ɖokuiwo ɖa le ame siawo dome ale be matsrɔ̃ wo enumake.”
“Sukani phakathi kwalaba ababutheneyo ukuze ngibabhubhise khathesi.”
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?”
Kodwa uMosi lo-Aroni bawa phansi ngobuso bakhala bathi, “Oh Nkulunkulu, Nkulunkulu wemiphefumulo yabantu bonke, uzathukuthelela abantu bonke jikelele ngenxa yomuntu oyedwa owonileyo na?”
23 Tete Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Ngakho uThixo wathi kuMosi,
24 “Gblɔ na ƒuƒoƒe la be, ‘Mite ɖa tso Korah, Datan kple Abiram ƒe agbadɔwo gbɔ.’”
“Tshela ibandla uthi, ‘Sukani eduze kwamathente aboKhora, loDathani lo-Abhiramu.’”
25 Ale Mose ɖe abla yi Datan kple Abiram ƒe agbadɔwo gbɔ, eye Israel ƒe dumemetsitsiwo kplɔe ɖo.
UMosi wasukuma waya kuDathani lo-Abhiramu, kwathi labadala bako-Israyeli bamlandela.
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.”
Waqonqosela ibandla wathi, “Buyelani emuva lisuke emathenteni abantu laba ababi! Lingathinti lutho olungolwabo ngoba lingenzenjalo lizakhuculwa ngenxa yezono zabo.”
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.
Ngakho basuka emathenteni kaKhora, uDathani lo-Abhiramu. UDathani lo-Abhiramu basebephume phandle bemi labomkabo, labantwababo kanye labancane emasangweni amathente abo.
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.
UMosi wasesithi, “Nansi indlela elizabona ngayo ukuthi uThixo ungithumile ukuzokwenza konke lokhu engikwenzayo kanye lokuthi akusingqondo yami.
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.
Nxa amadoda la ezazifela ngendlela abantu abazifela ngayo, kumbe nxa bengethekelelwa emva kokwethekelela kwabantu bonke kuzabe kusitsho ukuthi uThixo kangithumanga.
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 )
Kodwa nxa uThixo ezakwenza esingakaze sikubone okunye okutsha kwenzakale ukuthi umhlaba uvuleke ubaginye kanye lakho konke okungokwabo, bangene bephila engcwabeni, kulapho elizakwazi khona ukuthi amadoda la ameyisile uThixo.” (Sheol )
31 Esi Mose wu nya siawo nu teti ko la, anyigba la wo le wo te zi ɖeka,
Kwathi eqeda ukutsho lokhu, umhlaba wavuleka ngaphansi kwabo,
32 eye anyigba la mi wo kple woƒe aƒemenuwo katã, eye nenema kee nye Korah yomedzelawo katã kple woƒe nunɔamesiwo katã hã.
wavuleka wabaginya bona, kanye labantwababo lamadoda wonke ayekhokhelwa nguKhora kanye lempahla zawo.
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 )
Batshona engcwabeni bephila, lakho konke okwakungokwabo; umhlabathi wabambokotha, kwaba yikutshabalala kwabo, basuswa kwabakibo. (Sheol )
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.”
Besizwa ukukhala kwabo, bonke abako-Israyeli ababelapho babaleka, beklabalala besithi, “Umhlaba uzasiginya lathi!”
35 Dzo ge tso Yehowa gbɔ va fia ame alafa eve blaatɔ̃ siwo nɔ dzudzɔ dom.
Kwavela umlilo kuThixo watshaya waqothula amadoda angamakhulu amabili alamatshumi amahlanu ayenikela ngempepha.
36 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
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
“Tshela u-Eliyazari indodana ka-Aroni, umphristi, ukuthi athathe indengezi azikhiphe emlotheni achithele amalahle endaweni ekhatshana, ngoba indengezi lezi zingcwele,
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.”
indengezi zamadoda onileyo aze alahlekelwa yimpilo yawo. Khanda lezondengezi ukuze zendlaleke e-alithareni, ngoba zethulwa phambi kukaThixo zaba ngezingcwele. Azibe yisibonakaliso kwabako-Israyeli.”
39 Ale nunɔla Eleazar tsɔ akɔblidzudzɔdosonu alafa eve blaatɔ̃ la tu ga ɖeka hena vɔsamlekpui la dzi tsyɔtsyɔ
Ngakho u-Eliyazari umphristi wabutha indengezi zethusi ezazilethwe yilabo abatshayo, walungisa ukuba zikhandwe zendlalwe e-alithareni,
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.
njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo. Lokhu kwakuzakhumbuza abako-Israyeli ukuthi kakho ovunyelwayo ukutshisa impepha phambi kukaThixo ngaphandle kuka-Aroni lesizukulwane sakhe, funa abe njengoKhora labalandeli bakhe.
41 Esi ŋu ke ŋdi la, Israelviwo katã gade asi liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ me ɖe Mose kple Aron ŋu, henɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Miewu Yehowa ƒe amewo.”
Ngosuku olulandelayo abako-Israyeli bonke bakhonona basola uMosi lo-Aroni. Bathi, “Selibulele abantu bakaThixo.”
42 Ale ameha gã aɖe ƒo ƒu; kasia woakpɔ agbadɔ la gbɔ ɖa la, wokpɔ lilikpo la kple Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe la.
Kodwa kwathi ibandla selibuthene bephikisa uMosi lo-Aroni njalo sebekhangele ethenteni lokuhlangana, masinyane iyezi lalisibekela kwavela inkazimulo kaThixo.
43 Mose kple Aron yi agbadɔ la ŋgɔ,
Ngakho uMosi lo-Aroni baya phambi kwethente lokuhlangana,
44 eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be.
uThixo wasesithi kuMosi,
45 “Mite ɖa le ame siawo gbɔ, ale be mate ŋu atsrɔ̃ wo enumake.” Ke Mose kple Aron wotsyɔ mo anyi le Yehowa ŋkume.
“Suka kulelibandla ukuze ngibatshabalalise.” Ngakho bawa phansi ngobuso.
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.”
Kusenjalo uMosi wathi ku-Aroni, “Thatha udengezi lwakho uthele impepha kulo, ndawonye lomlilo ovela e-alithareni, uphange uye ebandleni ukuze ubenzele indlela yokubuyisana. Ulaka lukaThixo lubonakele; isifo sesiqalisile.”
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.
U-Aroni wenza okwakutshiwo nguMosi, waphanga wangena phakathi kwebandla. Isifo sesivele sesiqalisile ebantwini, kodwa u-Aroni wanikela impepha wabenzela indlela yokubuyisana.
48 Etsi tsitre ɖe ame kukuawo kple agbagbeawo dome, eye dɔvɔ̃ la nu tso,
Wema phakathi kwabaphilayo lasebefile, isifo saphela.
49 ke ame akpe wuiene alafa adre ku xoxo kpe ɖe ame siwo ku kple Korah le ŋkeke si do ŋgɔ la ŋu.
Kodwa kwasekufe abantu abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi lane lamakhulu ayisikhombisa bebulawa yisifo, phezu kwalabo ababefe ngenxa kaKhora.
50 Aron trɔ va Mose gbɔ le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Ale dɔvɔ̃ la nu tso.
Ngemva kwalokho u-Aroni wabuyela kuMosi esangweni lethente lokuhlangana, njengoba isifo sasesiphelile.
