< Resansman 16 >
1 Kore, pitit gason Iza, moun laras Levi nan fanmi Keyat la, pran tèt Datan ak Abiram, pitit gason Eliyab yo ansanm ak One, pitit gason Pelèt, twa moun laras Woubenn.
And behold Core the son of Isaar, the son of Caath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, and Hon the son of Pheleth of the children of Ruben,
2 Yo revòlte kont Moyiz. Te gen desansenkant (250) lòt moun nan pèp Izrayèl la avèk yo. Mesye sa yo, se te chèf pèp la menm te chwazi, moun ki te fè pati konsèy pèp la, chèf moun yo te konsidere anpil.
Rose up against Moses, and with them two hundred and fifty others of the children of Israel, leading men of the synagogue, and who in the time of assembly were called by name.
3 Yo tout reyini devan Moyiz ak Arawon, yo di yo konsa: -Koulye a, mesye, n' al twò lwen tande! Dènye moun nan pèp la se pou Seyè a y'ap viv. Seyè a la nan mitan nou tout, pa vre? Poukisa, nou menm Moyiz ak Arawon, nou pran pòz chèf nou anwo pèp Seyè a konsa?
And when they had stood up against Moses and Aaron, they said: Let it be enough for you, that all the multitude consisteth of holy ones, and the Lord is among them: Why lift you up yourselves above the people of the Lord?
4 Lè Moyiz tande sa, li lage kò l' atè plat, li lapriyè. Lèfini, li di Kore ak bann moun ki te avè l' yo konsa:
When Moses heard this, he fell flat on his face:
5 -Denmen maten, Seyè a va fè nou konnen ki moun ki pou li, ki moun li mete apa pou l' ak ki moun ki gen dwa pwoche bò kote l'. Moun la kite pwoche bò kote l' la, n'a konnen se moun sa a Bondye chwazi.
And speaking to Core and all the multitude, he said: In the morning the Lord will make known who belong to him, and the holy he will join to himself: and whom he shall choose, they shall approach to him.
6 Men sa pou n' fè. Ou menm, Kore, ak chak moun ki nan bann ou an, nou chak n'a pran yon ti recho dife.
Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company.
7 Denmen maten chak moun va ranje chabon dife nan recho pa l' la, epi l'a mete lansan sou dife a devan lotèl Seyè a. Konsa, moun Seyè a va chwazi a, n'a konnen se li menm Bondye mete apa pou l' a. Se nou menm, pitit Levi yo, ki pral twò lwen koulye a!
And putting fire in them tomorrow, put incense upon it before the Lord: and whomsoever he shall choose, the same shall be holy: you take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
8 Moyiz di Kore konsa: -Koute non, nou menm pitit Levi yo!
And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi.
9 Apre tou sa Bondye fè pou nou, nou jwenn li pa fè ase toujou: Nan tout pèp Izrayèl la, se nou li chwazi pou pwoche bò kote l', pou fè sèvis li nan kay li, pou kanpe devan pèp la pou fè sèvis pou yo.
Is it a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath spared you from all the people, and joined you to himself, that you should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and should stand before the congregation of the people, and should minister to him?
10 Ou menm Kore ak tout frè ou yo, pitit Levi yo, li ban nou dwa pou nou pwoche bò kote l'. Epi koulye a, n'ap mande pou yo ban nou plas prèt yo!
Did he therefore make thee and all thy brethren the sons of Levi to approach unto him, that you should challenge to yourselves the priesthood also,
11 Lè ou menm ak tout bann mesye ou yo n'ap plenyen konsa sou do Arawon, kisa Arawon ye nan sa? Konnen se kont Seyè a menm wi nou pran pozisyon.
And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?
12 Apre sa, Moyiz voye rele Datan ak Abiram, de nan pitit gason Eliyab yo. Men yo voye di Moyiz: -Nou p'ap vini.
Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.
13 Ou fin fè nou kite yon bon ti peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl t'ap koule tankou dlo, ou mennen nou vin mouri isit nan dezè a, epi koulye a ou vle pran pòz chèf ou sou nou ankò!
Is it a small matter to thee, that thou hast brought us out of a land that flowed with milk and honey, to kill us in the desert, except thou rule also like a lord over us?
14 Ou mèt di sa ou vle, men se pa nan yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo ou mennen nou la a! Ou pa ban nou okenn jaden pou n' plante grenn ni okenn jaden rezen ou te di ou t'ap ban nou an. Atò, ou kwè ou kapab pete je moun sa yo? Non! Nou p'ap vini.
Thou best brought us indeed into a land that floweth with rivers of milk and honey, and hast given us possessions of fields and vineyards; wilt thou also pull out our eyes? We will not come.
15 Lè sa a, Moyiz fè yon sèl fache, li di Seyè a konsa: -Pa asepte okenn ofrann moun sa yo ta pote vin ofri ou. Mwen pa janm pran anyen nan zafè yo, pa menm yon bourik. Mwen pa janm fè yonn ladan yo anyen.
Moses therefore being very angry, raid to the Lord: Respect not their sacrifices: thou knowest that I have not taken of them so much as a young ass at any time, nor have injured any of them.
16 Apre sa, Moyiz di Kore konsa: -Ou menm ak tout bann moun ou yo, denmen n'a vini devan lotèl Seyè a. Arawon va la tou.
And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord tomorrow, and Aaron apart.
17 Chak moun va pran yon ti recho dife, y'a mete lansan ladan l', epi y'a pote recho yo devan Seyè a. Sa va fè desansenkant (250) recho. Ou menm ak Arawon, n'a vini ak recho pa nou tou.
Take every one of you censers, and put incense upon them, offering to the Lord two hundred and fifty censers: let Aaron also hold his censer.
18 Se konsa, yo chak pran yon ti recho, yo ranje chabon dife ladan l', yo mete lansan sou dife a, epi yo vin kanpe devan pòt Tant Randevou a ansanm ak Moyiz ak Arawon.
When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing,
19 Kore te fè tout pèp la reyini nan pòt Tant Randevou a anfas Moyiz ak Arawon. Yo rete konsa, epi pouvwa Bondye parèt tankou yon gwo limyè devan tout pèp la.
And had drawn up all the multitude against them to the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.
20 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo:
And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
21 -Wete kò nou nan mitan moun sa yo. Mwen pral disparèt yo koulye a.
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them.
22 Men Moyiz ak Arawon tonbe fas atè, yo di: -O Bondye, ou menm ki bay tout moun lavi, se pa paske yon sèl moun fè sa l' pa t' dwe fè kifè pou ou fache sou tout pèp la.
They fell flat on their face, and said: O most mighty, the God of the spirits of all flesh, for one man’s sin shall thy wrath rage against all?
23 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord said to Moses:
24 -Pale ak tout pèp la. Di yo pou mwen pou yo wete kò yo bò kote Kore, Datan ak Abiram rete a.
Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron.
25 Moyiz leve, l' al jwenn Datan ak Abiram. Tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo te ale avè l' tou.
And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following him,
26 Li pale ak pèp la, li di yo: -Wete kò nou bò kote bann mechan sa yo rete a. Pa manyen anyen ki pou yo, si nou pa vle pase tou nan chatiman yo pral ba yo pou peche yo fè a.
He said to the multitude: Depart from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be involved in their sins.
27 Se konsa, tout pèp la wete kò yo, yo rete byen lwen kote Kore, Datan ak Abiram te rete a. Datan ak Abiram menm soti, yo vin kanpe devan pòt kay yo ansanm ak madanm yo, pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo.
And when they were departed from their tents round about, Dathan and Abiron coming out stood in the entry of their pavilions with their wives and children, and all the people.
28 Moyiz di pèp la konsa: -Avèk sa ki pral rive a, nou pral konnen se Seyè a menm ki te voye m' fè tout travay sa yo. Se pa mwen menm ki rete konsa mwen di mwen pral fè yo.
And Moses said: By this you shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all things that you see, and that I have not forged them of my own head:
29 Si moun sa yo mouri jan tout moun fèt pou mouri a, san se pa Bondye ki pini yo, enben, se pa Seyè a ki te voye m'.
If these men die the common death of men, and if they be visited with a plague, wherewith others also are wont to be visited, the Lord did not send me.
30 Men, si Seyè a fè bagay nou poko janm wè, si li fè tè a louvri pou l' vale moun sa yo ansanm ak tou sa ki pou yo, kifè y'ap desann tou vivan nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, n'a konnen se Seyè a menm yo t'ap derespekte konsa. (Sheol )
But if the Lord do a new thing, and the earth opening her mouth swallow them down, and all things that belong to them, and they go down alive into hell, you shall know that they have blasphemed the Lord. (Sheol )
31 Fini li fini di pawòl sa yo, tè a fann, li louvri anba pye Datan ak Abiram.
And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet:
32 Li vale yo, yo menm, tout fanmi yo ansanm ak tout moun ki te pran pozisyon pou Kore, ak tou sa ki te pou yo.
And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance.
33 Yo desann tou vivan avèk tou sa ki te pou yo nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. Apre sa, tè a fèmen sou yo, yo disparèt nèt nan mitan pèp la. (Sheol )
And they went down alive into hell the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people. (Sheol )
34 Tout moun nan pèp la ki te la pran kouri lè yo tande jan moun yo t'ap rele. Yo t'ap di: -Ann kouri pou tè a pa vale nou tou.
But all Israel, that was standing round about, fled at the cry of them that were perishing: saying: Lest perhaps the earth swallow us up also.
35 Menm lè a tou, Seyè a voye yon sèl dife ki devore tout desansenkant (250) mesye ki t'ap ofri lansan yo.
And a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
36 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
37 -Mande Eleaza, pitit gason Arawon, prèt la, pou l' ale wete recho dife an kwiv yo nan mitan rès moun boule yo. L'a jete chabon dife ki ladan yo yon kote byen lwen, paske recho dife sa yo se bagay ki apa pou mwen.
Command Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers that lie in the burning, and to scatter the fire of one side and the other: because they are sanctified
38 Wi, yo apa pou mwen paske mesye sa yo ki mouri pou peche yo te ofri yo devan lotèl Seyè a. W'a pran recho sa yo, w'a bat yo ak mato fè yo tounen plak fin pou kouvri lotèl la. Sa va sèvi yon avètisman pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
In the deaths of the sinners: and let him beat them into plates, and fasten them to the altar, because incense hath been offered in them to the Lord, and they are sanctified, that the children of Israel may see them for a sign and a memorial.
39 Se konsa, Eleaza, prèt la, te pran recho an kwiv moun boule yo te ofri yo, li bat yo ak mato, li fè yon kouvèti pou lotèl la
Then Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherein they had offered, whom the burning fire had devoured, and beat them into plates, fastening them to the altar:
40 pou sa sèvi yon avètisman pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo, pou yo konnen moun ki pa fè pati fanmi Arawon an pa gen dwa pwoche devan lotèl Seyè a pou boule lansan. Si yo fè sa, sa ki rive Kore ak moun li yo, se sa k'ap rive moun sa yo tou. Tou sa pase konsa vre dapre lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou Eleaza.
That the children of Israel might have for the time to come wherewith they should be admonished, that no stranger or any one that is not of seed of Aaron should come near to offer incense to the Lord, lest he should suffer as Core suffered, and all his congregation, according as the Lord spoke to Moses.
41 Nan denmen, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran bougonnen sou do Moyiz ak Arawon, yo t'ap di: -Se nou menm ki lakòz moun pèp Seyè a ap mouri konsa.
The following day all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: You have killed the people of the Lord.
42 Lè pèp la fin sanble pou yo pran pozisyon kont Moyiz ak Arawon, yo vire je yo gade Tant Randevou a, yo wè nwaj la te kouvri tant lan. Menm lè a, pouvwa Bondye-a parèt tankou yon gwo limyè.
And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
43 Moyiz ak Arawon ale, yo kanpe devan Tant Randevou a.
Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when the were gone into it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
44 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo konsa:
And the Lord said to Moses:
45 -Wete kò nou nan mitan pèp sa a. Mwen pral disparèt yo koulye a menm! De mesye yo tonbe fas atè.
Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground,
46 Epi Moyiz di Arawon konsa: -Pran ti recho dife ou la, pran chabon dife sou lotèl la, mete ladan l'. Vide ti lansan sou dife a. Epi kouri vit avè l' al jwenn pèp la. W'a fè sèvis pou mande Bondye padon pou yo. Fè vit non! Seyè a fache anpil, li gen tan pran desizyon l'. Malè a konmanse deja.
Moses said to Aaron: Take the censer, and putting fire in it from the altar, put incense upon it, and go quickly to the people to pray for them: for already wrath is gone out from the Lord, and the plague rageth.
47 Arawon pran ti recho a, li fè sa Moyiz te di l' fè a. Epi li pran kouri nan mitan pèp la. Men, malè a te deja konmanse ap fè dega nan pèp la. Lè Arawon wè sa, li mete lansan sou dife a, li fè sèvis pou mande Bondye padon pou yo.
When Aaron had done this, and had run to the midst of the multitude which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense:
48 Se konsa malè a te sispann. Arawon te kanpe nan mitan ak mò yo yon bò, moun vivan yo yon lòt bò.
And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.
49 Te gen katòzmil sètsan moun (14.700) antou ki te mouri nan malè sa a, san konte sa ki te mouri akòz Kore yo.
And the number of them that were slain was fourteen thousand and seven hundred men, besides them that had perished in the sedition of Core.
50 Lè malè a sispann nèt, Arawon tounen al jwenn Moyiz, devan papòt Kay Randevou a.
And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over.
