1 Na rĩrĩ, Kora mũrũ wa Iziharu, mũrũ wa Kohathu, ũrĩa warĩ mũrũ wa Lawi, marĩ na andũ amwe a mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni nĩo Dathani na Abiramu, ariũ a Eliabu, na Oni mũrũ wa Pelethu, magĩtuĩka a kũngʼathia.
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,
2 Nao magĩũkĩrĩra Musa. Hamwe nao haarĩ arũme a Isiraeli 250, atongoria mooĩkaine a kĩrĩndĩ kĩu arĩa maathuurĩtwo marĩ a kĩama.
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,
3 Nao magĩũka marĩ gĩkundi makararie Musa na Harũni, makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ nĩmwĩtũgĩrĩtie mũno! Kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ gĩothe nĩ gĩtheru, mũndũ o mũndũ, nake Jehova arĩ hamwe nao. Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mwĩtũũgĩrie igũrũ rĩa kĩũngano gĩkĩ kĩa Jehova?”
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?'
4 Rĩrĩa Musa aiguire ũguo-rĩ, akĩgũa, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ.
And Moses heareth, and falleth on his face,
5 Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩĩra Kora na arũmĩrĩri ake othe atĩrĩ: “Rũciinĩ, Jehova nĩakonania nũũ wake na nũũ mũtheru, na nĩakareka mũndũ ũcio amũkuhĩrĩrie. Mũndũ ũrĩa agaathuura, ũcio nĩwe akaareka amũkuhĩrĩrie.
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.
6 Wee Kora na arũmĩrĩri aku othe, ũũ nĩguo mũgeeka: mũkoya ngĩo cia gũcinĩra ũbumba,
This do: take to yourselves censers, Korah, and all his company,
7 na rũciũ mũciĩkĩre mwaki na ũbumba mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova. Mũndũ ũrĩa Jehova agaathuura-rĩ, ũcio agaatuĩka nĩwe mũtheru. Inyuĩ Alawii nĩmwĩtũgĩrĩtie mũno!”
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.'
8 Ningĩ Musa akĩĩra Kora atĩrĩ, “Ta thikĩrĩriai inyuĩ Alawii!
And Moses saith unto Korah, 'Hear ye, I pray you, sons of Levi;
9 Anga mũtiganĩire nĩ Ngai wa Isiraeli kũmwamũrania na kĩrĩndĩ kĩrĩa kĩngĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli, akamũrehe hakuhĩ nake nĩgeetha mũrutage wĩra hema-inĩ ĩrĩa nyamũre ya Jehova, na mũrũgamage mbere ya kĩrĩndĩ mũgĩtungatagĩre?
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? —
10 Inyuĩ hamwe na Alawii othe a thiritũ yanyu nĩamũrehete hakuhĩ nake, no rĩu mũrageria kuoya wĩra wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai o naguo.
yea, He doth bring thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee — and ye have sought also the priesthood!
11 Wee na arũmĩrĩri aku othe mũnganĩte hamwe mũũkĩrĩre Jehova. Harũni nũũ atĩ nĩguo mũnugune nĩ ũndũ wake?”
Therefore, thou and all thy company who are met [are] against Jehovah; and Aaron, what [is] he, that ye murmur against him?'
12 Musa agĩcooka agĩĩta Dathani na Abiramu, ariũ a Eliabu. No-o makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũtigũũka!
And Moses sendeth to call for Dathan and for Abiram sons of Eliab, and they say, 'We do not come up;
13 Anga ti kũiganu atĩ nĩwatũrutire bũrũri warĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ ũũke ũtũũragĩre werũ-inĩ ũyũ? Rĩu ningĩ ũrenda gũtwatha?
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?
14 Ningĩ-rĩ, ndũrĩ ũratũkinyia bũrũri ũrĩ na bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, kana ũgatũhe igai rĩa ithaka na mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ. Nĩ ũgũkũũra andũ aya maitho ũmaheenie? Aca, tũtigũũka!”
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.'
15 Nake Musa akĩrakara mũno, akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Ndũgetĩkĩre maruta mao. Niĩ ndioete o na ndigiri kuuma kũrĩ o, o na ndihĩtĩirie mũndũ wao o na ũmwe.”
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.'
16 Ningĩ Musa akĩĩra Kora atĩrĩ, “Wee na arũmĩrĩri aku othe mũgooka mbere ya Jehova rũciũ, wee, nao, na Harũni.
And Moses saith unto Korah, 'Thou and all thy company, be ye before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow;
17 O mũndũ nĩakoya rũgĩo rwake na arwĩkĩre ũbumba, ngĩo ciothe nĩ 250, na mũcirehe mbere ya Jehova. Wee, na Harũni, o na inyuĩ mũrehe ngĩo cianyu.”
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.'
18 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio o mũndũ akĩoya rũgĩo rwake, akĩrwĩkĩra mwaki na ũbumba, na makĩrũgamania mbere ya Musa na Harũni itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
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.
19 Rĩrĩa Kora aarĩkirie gũcookereria arũmĩrĩri ake othe nĩguo makararie Musa na Harũni marũngiĩ itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo-rĩ, riiri wa Jehova ũkiumĩrĩra kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe.
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.
20 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 “Mwĩyamũraniei na kĩũngano gĩkĩ nĩguo ndĩkĩniine o ro rĩmwe.”
'Be ye separated from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;'
22 No Musa na Harũni makĩĩgũithia magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ makĩanĩrĩra makiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Ngai, Ngai wa Maroho ma andũ othe, kaĩ ũngĩrakarĩra kĩũngano gĩkĩ gĩothe hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arĩ o mũndũ ũmwe wĩhĩtie?”
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!'
23 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
24 “Ĩra kĩũngano gĩothe atĩrĩ, ‘Eherai kuuma hema-inĩ cia Kora na Dathani na Abiramu.’”
'Speak unto the company, saying, Go ye up from round about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'
25 Musa agĩũkĩra, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Dathani na Abiramu, nao athuuri a Isiraeli makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
And Moses riseth, and goeth unto Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel go after him,
26 Nake agĩkaania kĩũngano kĩu, agĩkĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ehererai hema cia andũ aya aaganu! Mũtikahutie kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩao, nĩguo mũtikaniinwo nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao mothe.”
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.'
27 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ makĩeherera hema icio cia Kora na Dathani na Abiramu. Dathani na Abiramu nĩ moimĩte makarũgama na atumia ao, na ciana cia ngenge itoonyero-inĩ rĩa hema ciao.
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.
28 Ningĩ Musa akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũgũtũma mũmenye atĩ Jehova nĩwe ũndũmĩte njĩke maũndũ maya mothe, na atĩ rĩtiarĩ ithugunda rĩakwa:
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;
29 Andũ aya mangĩkua gĩkuũ kĩa ndũire-rĩ, o na kana mone maũndũ o ta marĩa makoraga andũ othe-rĩ, nĩmũkũmenya atĩ ti Jehova ũndũmĩte.
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;
30 No Jehova angĩrehe ũndũ ũngĩ mwerũ biũ, nayo thĩ yathamie kanua kayo ĩmamerie hamwe na indo ciao ciothe, na mathiĩ mbĩrĩra-inĩ marĩ muoyo, nĩmũkamenya atĩ andũ aya nĩ manyararĩte Jehova.” (Sheol h7585)
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)
31 Na rĩrĩ, Musa aarĩkia kuuga ũguo wothe, thĩ ĩgĩatũka hau maarĩ.
And it cometh to pass at his finishing speaking all these words, that the ground which [is] under them cleaveth,
32 Nayo thĩ ĩgĩathamia kanua kayo ĩkĩmameria, hamwe na andũ ao na arũmĩrĩri othe a Kora, na indo ciao ciothe.
and the earth openeth her mouth, and swalloweth them, and their houses, and all the men who [are] for Korah, and all the goods,
33 Nao magĩikũrũka mbĩrĩra marĩ muoyo hamwe na indo ciao ciothe; nayo thĩ ĩkĩmahumbĩra, magĩkua, magĩthengio kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩu. (Sheol h7585)
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)
34 Nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩro kĩao, andũ othe a Isiraeli arĩa maamarigiicĩirie makĩũra, makĩanagĩrĩra atĩrĩ, “O na ithuĩ thĩ nĩĩgũtũmeria!”
and all Israel who [are] round about them have fled at their voice, for they said, 'Lest the earth swallow us;'
35 Naguo mwaki ũkiuma kũrĩ Jehova ũgĩcina andũ acio 250 arĩa maarehete ũbumba.
and fire hath come out from Jehovah, and consumeth the two hundred and fifty men bringing near the perfume.
36 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
37 “Ĩra Eleazaru mũrũ wa Harũni, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, oe ngĩo icio cia gũcinĩrwo ũbumba, acieherie hau irahĩĩra, na ahurunje makara macio handũ haraaya, nĩ ũndũ ngĩo icio nĩ nyamũre,
'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,
38 ngĩo icio cia andũ acio makuĩte nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao. Ngĩo icio nĩiturwo ituĩke mabati ma kũhumbĩra kĩgongona, nĩ ũndũ nĩciarehetwo mbere ya Jehova, na igatuĩka nyamũre. Nacio nĩ ituĩke kĩmenyithia harĩ andũ a Isiraeli.”
[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.'
39 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akĩoya ngĩo icio cia gĩcango ciarehetwo nĩ andũ acio maacinĩtwo, nake agĩciturithia ituĩke cia kũhumbĩra kĩgongona,
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 —
40 agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩrĩire Musa. Ũndũ ũyũ warĩ wa kũririkania andũ a Isiraeli atĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, tiga wa rũciaro rwa Harũni, wagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũũka gũcina ũbumba mbere ya Jehova, kana atuĩke ta Kora na arũmĩrĩri ake.
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.
41 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli gĩgĩtetia Musa na Harũni, gĩkĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ nĩ mũũragĩte andũ a Jehova.”
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.'
42 Na rĩrĩa kĩũngano kĩu gĩecookanĩrĩirie gĩũkĩrĩre Musa na Harũni, o na gĩkĩerekera na kũrĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo yarĩ-rĩ, o rĩmwe itu rĩkĩhumbĩra hema ĩyo, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũkĩonekana.
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;
43 Nao Musa na Harũni magĩthiĩ hau mbere ya Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo,
and Moses cometh — Aaron also — unto the front of the tent of meeting.
44 nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
45 “Ehererai mume kĩũngano-inĩ gĩkĩ nĩguo ndĩkĩniine o ro rĩmwe.” No-o makĩĩgũithia thĩ, na magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ.
'Get you up from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;' and they fall on their faces,
46 Ningĩ Musa akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Oya rũgĩo rwaku ũrwĩkĩre ũbumba hamwe na mwaki wa kuuma kĩgongona-inĩ, na ũthiĩ narua kĩũngano-inĩ kĩu ũkĩhoroherie. Mangʼũrĩ moimĩte kũrĩ Jehova; mũthiro nĩwambĩrĩirie kũmaniina.”
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.'
47 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Harũni agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Musa aamwĩrire, agĩtengʼera agĩtoonya thĩinĩ wa kĩũngano kĩu. Mũthiro nĩwarĩĩkĩtie kwambĩrĩria thĩinĩ wa andũ, no Harũni akĩruta ũbumba akĩmahoroheria.
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,
48 Akĩrũgama gatagatĩ ka andũ arĩa maarĩ muoyo na arĩa maakuĩte, naguo mũthiro ũgĩthira.
and standeth between the dead and the living, and the plague is restrained;
49 No andũ 14,700 magĩkua nĩ ũndũ wa mũthiro ũcio, kuonganĩrĩria na andũ arĩa maakuĩte nĩ ũndũ wa Kora.
and those who die by the plague are fourteen thousand and seven hundred, apart from those who die for the matter of Korah;
50 Thuutha ũcio Harũni agĩcooka kũrĩ Musa itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, tondũ mũthiro ũcio nĩwathirĩte.
and Aaron turneth back unto Moses, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and the plague hath been restrained.
