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.
Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi tried to take over leadership, along with Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On, son of Peleth, who were from the tribe of Reuben.
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.
They rebelled against Moses, and were joined by 250 well-respected Israelite leaders and members of the assembly.
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?
They joined together in opposition to Moses and Aaron, telling them, “You've taken too much power for yourselves! Every one of the Israelites is holy, and the Lord is among them. So why do you set yourselves above the Lord's assembly?”
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 what they were saying, he fell facedown on the ground.
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.
Then he told Korah and all those with him, “In the morning the Lord is going to make it clear who is his and who is holy, and allow that person to approach him. He will only allow whoever he chooses to approach 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.
This is what you, Korah, and everyone with you are going to do. Take some incense burners,
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 tomorrow put incense in them and set it on fire in the presence of the Lord. Then the man the Lord chooses is the one who is holy. It is you Levites who are taking too much power for yourselves!”
8 Moyiz di Kore konsa: -Koute non, nou menm pitit Levi yo!
Moses also told Korah, “Listen, you Levites!
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.
Do you think it's something insignificant that the God of Israel chose you from all the other Israelites and allowed you to approach him and carry out the work in the Lord's Tabernacle, to stand before the Israelites and serve them?
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!
He has allowed you the privilege of approaching him, Korah, you and all the other Levites, but now you want to have the priesthood as well!
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.
So in reality you and those who have joined you are fighting against the Lord—because who is Aaron that you should complain about 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.
Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they replied, “We're not going to appear before you!
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!
Haven't you done enough by taking us away from a land flowing with milk and honey in order to kill us out here in the desert? Do you have to make yourself a dictator as well, someone to rule 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.
On top of that you haven't taken us to a land flowing with milk and honey or given us fields and vineyards to own. Do you really think you can fool everyone? No, we will not attend!”
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 got really angry and said to the Lord, “Don't accept their offerings. I have never taken even a donkey from them or treated any of them badly.”
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.
Moses told Korah, “You and all those who have joined you must appear before the Lord tomorrow—all of you and Aaron too.
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.
Each one will take his incense burner, put incense in it, and offer it before the Lord. All 250 of you will use your incense burners and Aaron will as well.”
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.
So each one took his incense burner, put incense in it, set it on fire, and stood together with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
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.
When Korah had gathered all his rebellious group at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the Lord's glory appeared before the whole congregation.
20 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo:
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
21 -Wete kò nou nan mitan moun sa yo. Mwen pral disparèt yo koulye a.
“Step away from these Israelites and I will destroy them right away.”
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.
But Moses and Aaron fell facedown on the ground said, “God—God of everything that lives—when it's just one man who sins, do you have to be angry with the everybody?”
23 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
Then the Lord told Moses,
24 -Pale ak tout pèp la. Di yo pou mwen pou yo wete kò yo bò kote Kore, Datan ak Abiram rete a.
“Tell the people to move away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Moyiz leve, l' al jwenn Datan ak Abiram. Tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo te ale avè l' tou.
So Moses went over to Dathan and Abiram, and the Israelite elders of Israel followed 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 ordered the people, “Move away from the tents of these wicked men and don't touch anything that belongs to them, otherwise you will be destroyed along with them in all 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.
The people moved away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrances to their tents along with their wives, children and little ones.
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.
Moses said, “This is how you will know that the Lord did send me to carry out everything I've done, for it wasn't anything I thought up.
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 a natural death, experiencing the destiny of every human being, then the Lord didn't sent 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 h7585)
But if the Lord does something totally different, and the earth opens up and swallows them down along with everything that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have acted with contempt to the Lord.” (Sheol h7585)
31 Fini li fini di pawòl sa yo, tè a fann, li louvri anba pye Datan ak Abiram.
Immediately Moses finished saying all this the ground under the rebels split apart,
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 the earth opened up and swallowed them and their households down, as well as everyone who was there with Korah and everything that belonged to them.
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 h7585)
They went down alive into Sheol with all that they had. The earth closed over them, and they were no more. (Sheol h7585)
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.
When they heard their cries, all the Israelites nearby ran away, shouting, “Watch out! The earth could swallow us too!”
35 Menm lè a tou, Seyè a voye yon sèl dife ki devore tout desansenkant (250) mesye ki t'ap ofri lansan yo.
Fire burst out from the Lord and burned up the 250 men who were offering incense.
36 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
Then the Lord said to Moses,
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.
“Tell Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, to collect the holy incense burners from among those who have been burned up, and scatter the coals used for the incense well away from the camp.
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.
Have the incense burners of those who sinned at the expense of their own lives hammered into metal sheets as a covering for the altar, because they were offered before the Lord, and so have become holy. They will be a reminder to Israelites of what happened.”
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
So Eleazar the priest collected the bronze incense burners used by those who had been burned up, and had them hammered out as a covering for 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.
following the instructions given to him from the Lord through Moses. This was to remind the Israelites that no one who is not a descendant of Aaron should come and offer incense before the Lord, otherwise they could end up like Korah and those with him.
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 next day all the Israelites complained to Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the Lord's people!”
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.
But as the people gathered to confront them, Moses and Aaron went over to the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the Lord's glory appeared.
43 Moyiz ak Arawon ale, yo kanpe devan Tant Randevou a.
Moses and Aaron went and stood at the front of the Tent of Meeting,
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 away from these people and I will finish them off immediately.” Moses and Aaron fell facedown 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 told Aaron, “Put some coals from the altar and some incense in your incense burner. Then run to the people and make them right before the Lord, for the Lord is angry with them and a plague has started.”
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.
Aaron took the incense burner just as Moses had told him and ran into the middle of the assembly. He saw that the plague had started to affect the people so he offered the incense and made the people right with the Lord.
48 Se konsa malè a te sispann. Arawon te kanpe nan mitan ak mò yo yon bò, moun vivan yo yon lòt bò.
He stood between those who had died and those who were still alive, and the plague was stopped.
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.
However, 14,700 died from the plague in addition to those who'd died because of Korah.
50 Lè malè a sispann nèt, Arawon tounen al jwenn Moyiz, devan papòt Kay Randevou a.
Then Aaron went back to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting because the plague had been stopped.
