Resansman 16
1 Alò, Koré, fis a Jitsehar, ansanm avèk Dathan ak Abiram, fis a Éliab avèk On, fis a Péleth, fis a Ruben yo, te pran desizyon. Yo te pran moun avèk yo,
Now Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath son of Levi, along with some Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—conducted
2 epi yo te vin souleve devan Moïse. Ansanm avèk kèk nan fis Israël yo, de-san-senkant nan chèf kongregasyon an, mesye ki te byen rekonèt, ki te chwazi pa asanble a,
a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 men of Israel renowned as leaders of the congregation and representatives in the assembly.
3 yo te reyini ansanm kont Moïse avèk Aaron. Yo te di yo: “Nou te ale ase lwen, paske tout kongregasyon an sen, yo tout, e SENYÈ a nan mitan yo! Konsa, poukisa nou egzalte tèt nou pi wo pase asanble SENYÈ a?”
They came together against Moses and Aaron and told them, “You have taken too much upon yourselves! For everyone in the entire congregation is holy, and the LORD is in their midst. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?”
4 Lè Moïse te tande sa, li te tonbe sou figi li.
When Moses heard this, he fell facedown.
5 Li te pale avèk Koré ak tout konpanyen li yo. Li te di: “Demen maten, SENYÈ a va montre kilès ki apatyen ak Li e kilès ki sen, epi Li va fè moun sa a vin touprè Li. Menm sila ke Li chwazi a, Li va mennen li toupre Li menm.
Then he said to Korah and all his followers, “Tomorrow morning the LORD will reveal who belongs to Him and who is holy, and He will bring that person near to Himself. The one He chooses, He will bring near to Himself.
6 Fè sa: Fè Koré ak tout konpanyen li pran asanswa a pou kont nou.
You, Korah, and all your followers are to do as follows: Take censers,
7 Konsa, mete dife ladann, e poze lansan sou yo nan prezans a SENYÈ a, demen. Moun nan ke SENYÈ a chwazi a, va sila ki sen an. Nou gen tan ale ase lwen, fis a Levi yo!”
and tomorrow you are to place fire and incense in them in the presence of the LORD. Then the man the LORD chooses will be the one who is holy. It is you sons of Levi who have taken too much upon yourselves!”
8 Moïse te di a Koré: “Tande koulye a fis a Levi yo!
Moses also said to Korah, “Now listen, you sons of Levi!
9 Èske li pa sifi pou nou ke Bondye Israël la te separe nou soti nan tout rès kongregasyon Israël la, pou mennen nou touprè a Li menm? Pou fè sèvis tabènak SENYÈ a, e pou vin kanpe devan kongregasyon an pou sèvi yo?
Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel and brought you near to Himself to perform the work at the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?
10 E ke li te mennen nou touprè, tout frè ou yo Koré, fis a Levi yo avèk ou? Epi èske w ap chache pozisyon prèt la tou?
He has brought you near, you and all your fellow Levites, but you are seeking the priesthood as well.
11 Pou sa, ou menm avèk tout konpanyen ou yo vin rasanble ansanm kont SENYÈ a! Men pou Aaron, kilès li ye pou nou vin plenyen kont li?”
Therefore, it is you and all your followers who have conspired against the LORD! As for Aaron, who is he that you should grumble against him?”
12 Konsa, Moïse te voye yon lòd bay Dathan avèk Abiram, fis a Éliab yo, men yo te di: “Nou p ap monte.”
Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come!
13 Èske sa pa ase ke ou te mennen nou sòti nan yon peyi ki koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl pou fè nou vin mouri nan dezè a, men ou ta, osi, vin chèf sou nou?
Is it not enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? Must you also appoint yourself as ruler over us?
14 Vrèman, ou pa t mennen nou nan yon peyi ki koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl, ni ou pa t bannou yon eritaj tèren, avèk chan rezen. Èske ou ta pete zye a mesye sa yo? Nou p ap monte?
Moreover, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? No, we will not come!”
15 Alò Moïse te vin byen fache. Li te di a SENYÈ a: “Pa aksepte ofrann pa yo! Mwen pa t pran menm yon bourik nan men yo, ni mwen pa t fè mal a okenn nan yo.”
Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, “Do not regard their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”
16 Moïse te di a Koré: “Ou menm avèk tout konpanyen ou yo, parèt devan SENYÈ a demen; ni ou menm, yo menm ansanm avèk Aaron.
And Moses said to Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow—you and they and Aaron.
17 Chak nan nou pran veso dife li, mete lansan sou li, e chak nan nou pote veso lansan an devan SENYÈ a, de-san-senkant veso dife; osi ou menm avèk Aaron va chak pote veso dife pa li a.”
Each man is to take his censer, place incense in it, and present it before the LORD—250 censers. You and Aaron are to present your censers as well.”
18 Konsa, yo chak te pran pwòp veso dife a e te mete dife ladann. Yo te mete lansan sou li, epi yo te kanpe nan pòtay tant asanble a, avèk Moïse ak Aaron.
So each man took his censer, put fire and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
19 Konsa, Koré te rasanble tout kongregasyon anfas yo a nan pòtay a tant asanble a. Epi glwa a SENYÈ a te vin parèt a tout kongregasyon an.
When Korah had gathered his whole assembly against them at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole congregation.
20 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse ak Aaron, e te di:
And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
21 “Separe nou nan mitan kongregasyon sila a, pou Mwen kapab manje yo koulye a.”
“Separate yourselves from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.”
22 Men yo te tonbe sou figi yo e te di: “O Bondye, Bondye a lespri de tout chè a, èske Ou va an kòlè avèk tout kongregasyon an lè yon sèl moun fè peche?”
But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with the whole congregation?”
23 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
24 “Pale avèk kongregasyon an e di: ‘Sòti nan andwa tant Koré yo, Dathan avèk Abiram!’”
“Tell the congregation to move away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Alò, Moïse te leve ale vè Dathan ak Abiram, avèk ansyen a Israël ki t ap swiv li yo.
So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 Li te pale avèk kongregasyon an. Li te di: “Kite tant a moun mechan sa yo, e pa touche anyen ki pou yo, sinon, nou va vin pote ale ak tout peche yo.”
And he warned the congregation, “Move away now from the tents of these wicked men. Do not touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”
27 Konsa, yo te soti nan tant a Koré yo, Dathan ak Abiram de tout kote. Dathan ak Abiram te vin kanpe nan pòtay tant pa yo a, ansanm avèk madanm yo, e fis yo, ansanm ak timoun yo.
So they moved away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Meanwhile, Dathan and Abiram had come out and stood at the entrances to their tents with their wives and children and infants.
28 Moïse te di: “Selon sa, nou va konnen ke SENYÈ a te voye mwen pou fè tout zèv sa yo; paske sa se pa nan tèt mwen y ap soti.
Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things, for it was not my own doing:
29 Si mesye sila yo mouri yon mò natirèl, oswa si yo soufri desten a tout moun nòmal, alò SENYÈ a pa t voye mwen.
If these men die a natural death, or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.
30 Men si SENYÈ a fè vin parèt yon bagay tounèf, tè a vin ouvri bouch li pou vale yo nèt avèk tout sa ki pou yo, e yo desann tou vivan kote mò yo ye a, alò, konsa, nou va konprann ke mesye sila yo te meprize SENYÈ a.” (Sheol h7585)
But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them and all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt.” (Sheol h7585)
31 Pandan li te fin pale tout pawòl sa yo, tè ki te anba yo a te fann e li te ouvri.
As soon as Moses had finished saying all this, the ground beneath them split open,
32 Konsa, latè te louvri bouch li e te vale yo nèt avèk moun lakay yo, ak tout mesye ki te apatyen a Koré avèk tout byen yo.
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households—all Korah’s men and all their possessions.
33 Konsa, yo menm avèk tout sa ki te pou yo, te desann vivan nan sejou mò yo. Tè a te vin fèmen sou yo, e yo te peri nan mitan asanble a. (Sheol h7585)
They went down alive into Sheol with all they owned. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
34 Tout Israël ki te antoure yo te sove ale pandan yo t ap rele, paske yo te di: “Tè a kapab vin vale nou nèt!”
At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The earth may swallow us too!”
35 Dife te sòti nan SENYÈ a pou brile de san senkant mesye ki te ofri lansan yo.
And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.
36 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
37 “Di a Éléazar, fis a Aaron an, prèt la, ke li va ranmase veso lansan yo nan mitan dife a, paske yo sen. Epi nou va gaye sann dife k ap brile lwen kan an, paske yo sen.
“Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the censers from the flames and to scatter the coals far away, because the censers are holy.
38 Epi menm selon veso lansan a mesye sa yo ki te peche e te peye ak lavi yo, kite yo fin bat yo byen plat pou sèvi yo pou kouvri lotèl la, pwiske yo te prezante yo devan SENYÈ a. Yo sen. Konsa, yo va sèvi kòm yon sign a fis Israël yo.”
As for the censers of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, hammer them into sheets to overlay the altar, for these were presented before the LORD, and so have become holy. They will serve as a sign to the Israelites.”
39 Éléazar, prèt la, te pran veso lansan ki te fèt an bwonz ke mesye ki te brile yo te ofri, epi yo te bat yo pou fè yo plat pou kouvri lotèl la,
So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned up, and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar,
40 kòm yon sonj komemoratif a fis Israël yo pou pèsòn ki pa nan ras Aaron pa ta dwe pwoche pou brile lansan devan SENYÈ a; jis pou li pa devni tankou Koré ak konpanyen li yo—jis jan ke SENYÈ a te pale a li pa Moïse la.
just as the LORD commanded him through Moses. This was to be a reminder to the Israelites that no outsider who is not a descendant of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the LORD, lest he become like Korah and his followers.
41 Men nan pwochen jou a, tout kongregasyon fis Israël yo te bougonnen kont Moïse avèk Aaron. Yo te di: “Se nou ki touye pèp SENYÈ a.”
The next day the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”
42 Lè kongregasyon an te reyini ansanm kont Moïse avèk Aaron, yo te gade vè tant asanble a, e vwala, nwaj la te kouvri li e glwa SENYÈ a te parèt.
But when the congregation gathered against them, Moses and Aaron turned toward the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared.
43 Alò, Moïse avèk Aaron te vini devan tant asanble a.
Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting,
44 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse. Li te di:
and the LORD said to Moses,
45 “Mete ou lwen kongregasyon sila a, pou Mwen kapab detwi yo kounye a menm.” Yo te tonbe sou figi yo.
“Get away from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.” And Moses and Aaron fell facedown.
46 Moïse te di a Aaron: “Pran veso lansan an, mete dife lotèl la ladann. Mete lansan an sou li e pote li vit bay kongregasyon an pou fè ekspiyasyon pou yo. Paske lakòlè gen tan sòti nan SENYÈ a. Gwo epidemi an kòmanse!”
Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, place fire from the altar in it, and add incense. Go quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, because wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has begun.”
47 Alò Aaron te pran li jan Moïse te pale a. Li te kouri nan mitan asanble a, paske, gade byen, gwo epidemi an te kòmanse pami pèp la. Konsa li te mete lansan an pou fè ekspiyasyon pou pèp la.
So Aaron took the censer as Moses had ordered and ran into the midst of the assembly. And seeing that the plague had begun among the people, he offered the incense and made atonement for the people.
48 Li te kanpe antre mò yo ak moun vivan, e gwo epidemi an te rete.
He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was halted.
49 Men sila ki te mouri nan gwo epidemi yo te katòz-mil-sèt-san, anplis sila ki te mouri akoz Koré yo.
But those who died from the plague numbered 14,700, in addition to those who had died on account of Korah.
50 Alò, Aaron te retounen vè Moïse nan pòtay tant asanble a, paske gwo epidemi an te vin rete.
Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, since the plague had been halted.
