< 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.
Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men;
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.
and they rose up in face of Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty men; they were princes of the congregation, the elect men of the assembly, men of renown;
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 they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them: 'Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them; wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly 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:
And when Moses heard it, he fell upon 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 he spoke unto Korah and unto all his company, saying: 'In the morning the LORD will show who are His, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near unto Him; even him whom He may choose will He cause to come near unto 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 do: take you censors, Korah, and all his 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 put fire therein, and put incense upon them before the LORD to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy; ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.'
8 Moyiz di Kore konsa: -Koute non, nou menm pitit Levi yo!
And Moses said unto Korah: 'Hear now, 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 but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto 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!
and that He hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and will ye seek 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.
Therefore thou and all thy company that are gathered together against the LORD —; and as to Aaron, what is he that ye 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.
And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said: 'We will not come up;
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 thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but thou must needs make thyself also a prince 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.
Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards; wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.'
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.
And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD: 'Respect not Thou their offering; I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one 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 Moses said unto Korah: 'Be thou and all thy congregation before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow;
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.
and take ye every man his fire-pan, and put incense upon them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his fire-pan, two hundred and fifty fire-pans; thou also, and Aaron, each his fire-pan.'
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.
And they took every man his fire-pan, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
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 Korah assembled all the congregation against them unto the door of the tent of meeting; and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
20 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
21 -Wete kò nou nan mitan moun sa yo. Mwen pral disparèt yo koulye a.
'Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.'
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.
And they fell upon their faces, and said: 'O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt Thou be wroth with all the congregation?'
23 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
24 -Pale ak tout pèp la. Di yo pou mwen pou yo wete kò yo bò kote Kore, Datan ak Abiram rete a.
'Speak unto the congregation, saying: Get you up from about the dwelling 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.
And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the 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.
And he spoke unto the congregation, saying: 'Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be swept away 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.
So they got them up from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side; and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their 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.
And Moses said: 'Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works, and that I have not done them of mine own mind.
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 all men, and be visited after the visitation of all men, then the LORD hath not 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 )
But if the LORD make a new thing, and the ground open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down alive into the pit, then ye shall understand that these men have despised the LORD.' (Sheol )
31 Fini li fini di pawòl sa yo, tè a fann, li louvri anba pye Datan ak Abiram.
And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground did cleave asunder that was under them.
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 her mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
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 )
So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit; and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly. (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.
And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said: 'Lest the earth swallow us up.'
35 Menm lè a tou, Seyè a voye yon sèl dife ki devore tout desansenkant (250) mesye ki t'ap ofri lansan yo.
And fire came forth from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
36 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the LORD spoke unto 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.
'Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the fire-pans out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are become holy;
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.
even the fire-pans of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar — for they are become holy, because they were offered before the LORD — that they may be a sign unto the children of Israel.'
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
And Eleazar the priest took the brazen fire-pans, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of 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.
to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no common man, that is not of the seed of Aaron, draw near to burn incense before the LORD; that he fare not as Korah, and as his company; as the LORD spoke unto him by the hand of 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.
But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying: 'Ye 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 it came to pass, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting; and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
43 Moyiz ak Arawon ale, yo kanpe devan Tant Randevou a.
And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
44 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo konsa:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
45 -Wete kò nou nan mitan pèp sa a. Mwen pral disparèt yo koulye a menm! De mesye yo tonbe fas atè.
'Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.' And they fell upon their faces.
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.
And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Take thy fire-pan, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from the LORD: the plague is begun.'
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.
And Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people; and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
48 Se konsa malè a te sispann. Arawon te kanpe nan mitan ak mò yo yon bò, moun vivan yo yon lòt bò.
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
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.
Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.
50 Lè malè a sispann nèt, Arawon tounen al jwenn Moyiz, devan papòt Kay Randevou a.
And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tent of meeting, and the plague was stayed.
