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, 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 Pallu, the son of Reuben, made themselves ready,
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,
And came before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty chiefs of the people, men of good name who had a place in the meeting of the people.
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 against Aaron, and said to them, You take overmuch on yourselves, seeing that all the people are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them; why then have you put yourselves in authority over the people of the Lord?
4 Lè Moïse te tande sa, li te tonbe sou figi li.
And Moses, hearing this, went down on his face;
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.
And he said to Korah and his band, In the morning the Lord will make clear who are his, and who is holy, and who may come near him: the man of his selection will be caused to come near him.
6 Fè sa: Fè Koré ak tout konpanyen li pran asanswa a pou kont nou.
So do this: let Korah and all his band take vessels for burning perfumes;
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 put spices on the fire in them before the Lord tomorrow; then the man marked out by the Lord will be holy: you take overmuch on yourselves, you sons of Levi.
8 Moïse te di a Koré: “Tande koulye a fis a Levi yo!
And Moses said to Korah, Give ear now, 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?
Does it seem only a small thing to you that the God of Israel has made you separate from the rest of Israel, letting you come near himself to do the work of the House of the Lord, and to take your place before the people to do what has to be done for 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?
Letting you, and all your brothers the sons of Levi, come near to him? and would you now be priests?
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?”
So you and all your band have come together against the Lord; and Aaron, who is he, that you are crying out 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 sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up:
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 taken us from a land flowing with milk and honey, to put us to death in the waste land, but now you are desiring to make yourself a chief 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?
And more than this, you have not taken us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us a heritage of fields and vine-gardens: will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.
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 was very angry, and said to the Lord, Give no attention to their offering: not one of their asses have I taken, or done wrong to any 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 band are to come 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.”
And let every man take a vessel for burning perfumes, and put sweet spices in them; let every man take his vessel before the Lord, two hundred and fifty vessels; you and Aaron and everyone with his vessel.
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 every man took his vessel and they put fire in them, with spices, and came to the door of the Tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
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.
And Korah made all the people come together against them to the door of the Tent of meeting: and the glory of the Lord was seen by all the people.
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.”
Come out from among this people, so that I may send sudden destruction on them.
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?”
Then falling down on their faces they said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, because of one man's sin will your wrath be moved against all the people?
23 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And the Lord said to Moses,
24 “Pale avèk kongregasyon an e di: ‘Sòti nan andwa tant Koré yo, Dathan avèk Abiram!’”
Say to the people, Come away from the tent 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 responsible men of Israel went with 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 said to the people, Come away now from the tents of these evil men, without touching anything of theirs, or you may be taken in the punishment of 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 on every side they went away from the tent of Korah Dathan, and Abiram: and Dathan and Abiram came out to the door of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their little ones.
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.
And Moses said, Now you will see that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, and I have not done them of myself.
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 have the common death of men, or if the natural fate of all men overtakes them, 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 does something new, opening the earth to take them in, with everything which is theirs, and they go down living into the underworld, then it will be clear to you that the Lord has not been honoured by these men. (Sheol h7585)
31 Pandan li te fin pale tout pawòl sa yo, tè ki te anba yo a te fann e li te ouvri.
And while these words were on his lips, the earth under them was parted in two;
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, opening her mouth, took them in, with their families, and all the men who were joined to Korah, and their goods.
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)
So they and all theirs went down living into the underworld, and the earth was shut over them, and they were cut off from among the meeting of the people. (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!”
And all Israel round about them went in flight at their cry, For fear, said they, that we go down into the heart of the earth.
35 Dife te sòti nan SENYÈ a pou brile de san senkant mesye ki te ofri lansan yo.
Then fire came out from the Lord, burning up the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the perfume.
36 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And 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.
Say to Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, that he is to take out of the flames the vessels with the perfumes in them, turning the fire out of them, for they 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.”
And let the vessels of those men, who with their lives have made payment for their sin, be hammered out into plates as a cover for the altar; for they have been offered before the Lord and are holy; so that they may be a sign to the children of Israel.
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 brass vessels which had been offered by those who were burned up, and they were hammered out to make a cover for 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.
To be a sign, kept in memory for ever by the children of Israel, that no man who is not of the seed of Aaron has the right of burning spices before the Lord, so that he may not be like Korah and his band: as the Lord said to him by the mouth of Moses.
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.”
But on the day after, all the children of Israel made an outcry against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have put to death 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.
Now when the people had come together against Moses and Aaron, looking in the direction of the Tent of meeting, they saw the cloud covering it, and the glory of the Lord came before their eyes.
43 Alò, Moïse avèk Aaron te vini devan tant asanble a.
Then Moses and Aaron came 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.
Come out from among this people, so that I may send sudden destruction on them. And they went down on their faces.
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!”
And Moses said to Aaron, Take your vessel and put in it fire from the altar, and sweet spices, and take it quickly into the meeting of the people, and make them free from sin: for wrath has gone out from the Lord, and the disease is starting.
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.
And at the words of Moses, Aaron took his vessel, and went running among the people; and even then the disease had made a start among them; and he put spices in his vessel to take away the sin of the people.
48 Li te kanpe antre mò yo ak moun vivan, e gwo epidemi an te rete.
And he took his place between the dead and the living: and the disease was stopped.
49 Men sila ki te mouri nan gwo epidemi yo te katòz-mil-sèt-san, anplis sila ki te mouri akoz Koré yo.
Now fourteen thousand, seven hundred deaths were caused by that disease, in addition to those who came to their end because of what Korah had done.
50 Alò, Aaron te retounen vè Moïse nan pòtay tant asanble a, paske gwo epidemi an te vin rete.
Then Aaron went back to Moses to the door of the Tent of meeting: and the disease came to a stop.
