Na Helu 16
1 A KUKA iho la o Kora, ke keiki a Izekara, ke keiki a Kohata, ke keiki a Levi, a o Datana a me Abirama na keiki a Eliaba, a me Ona ke keiki a Peleta, na keiki a Reubena:
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 A ku iluna lakou me kekahi poe mamo a Iseraela imua o Mose, he elua haneri a me kanalima na luna o na kanaka, he poe pookela ma ke anaina kanaka, na kanaka kaulana:
They rebelled against Moses, and were joined by 250 well-respected Israelite leaders and members of the assembly.
3 Houluulu ae la lakou e ku e ia Mose a ia Aarona, i mai la ia laua, He nui loa ka olua, no ka mea, ua laa ke anaina kanaka a pau loa, a o Iehova kekahi iwaena o lakou: no ke aha la hoi olua e hookiekie ae nei ia olua iho maluna o ke anaina kanaka o Iehova?
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 A lohe ae la o Mose, moe iho la ia ilalo ke alo.
When Moses heard what they were saying, he fell facedown on the ground.
5 Olelo aku la ia ia Kora, a me kona poe a pau, i aku la, A kakahiaka ae, e hoike mai o Iehova i ka mea nona, a me ka mea laa; a e hookokoke aku ai ia ia io na la; o ka mea ana e koho ai, oia kana e hookokoke aku ai io na la.
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 O keia ka oukou e hana'i; E lawe oukou i na ipukuniala, o Kora a me kona mau hoa a pau;
This is what you, Korah, and everyone with you are going to do. Take some incense burners,
7 E hahao i ke ahi maloko, e hahao hoi i ka mea ala maloko imua o Iehova i ka la apopo: a o ka mea a Iehova e wae mai ai, oia ka mea laa: he nui loa ka oukou, e na mamo a Levi.
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 I aku la o Mose ia Kora ma, Ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e hoolohe mai oukou, e na mamo a Levi.
Moses also told Korah, “Listen, you Levites!
9 He mea uuku anei ia oukou, i hookaawale ae ke Akua o ka Iseraela ia oukou mai ke anaina kanaka o ka Iseraela mai, e hookokoke oka ia oukou io na la, e hana i ka hana ma ka halelewa o Iehova, a e ku imua o ko anaina kanaka, e lawelawe na lakou?
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 A ua hookokoke mai no oia ia oe a me kou poe hoahanau na mamo a Levi me oe: a ke imi nei anei hoi oukou i ka oihana kahuna?
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 No ia mea, ua akoakoa ae nei oe me ou poe a pau e ku e ia Iehova; heaha hoi o Aarona i ohumu aku ai oukou ia ia?
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 Hoouna aku la o Mose, e kii ia Datana laua o Abirama na keiki a Eliaba: i mai la hoi laua, Aole maua e hele aku.
Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they replied, “We're not going to appear before you!
13 He mea liilii anei kou lawe ana mai ia makou mailoko mai o ka aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli, e pepehi ia makou ma ka waonahele, ke hiki ole ia oe e hoolilo ia oe iho i alii maluna o makou?
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 Aole no hoi oe i lawe aku ia makou i ka aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka melt, me ka haawi mai no makou i na kula a me na malawaina. K poalo anei oe i na maka o keia poe kanaka? Aole no maua e hele aku.
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 Huhu loa iho la o Mose, a i aku la ia Iehova, Mai maliu mai oe i ka lakou mohai: aole au i lawe no'u i kekahi hoki o lakou, aole hoi au i hana eha aku i kekahi o lakou.
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 I aku la o Mose ia Kora, Apopo, e hele oe me ou poe a pau imua o Iehova, o oe, o lakou a me Aarona.
Moses told Korah, “You and all those who have joined you must appear before the Lord tomorrow—all of you and Aaron too.
17 E lawe hoi keia kanaka kela kanaka i kona ipukuniala, e hahao i ka mea ala maloko, a e lawe mai na kanaka o oukou a pau i ko lakou ipukuniala imua o Iehova, i elua haneri a me kanalima na ipukuniala; o oe hoi, a o Aarona, o kela mea keia mea me kona ipukuniala.
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 A lawe ae la kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona ipukuniala, hahao iho la i ke ahi maloko, a kau i ka mea ala maluna, a ku ae la ma ka puka o ka halelewa o ke anaina me Mose a me Aarona.
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 Houluulu ae la o Kora i ke anaina kanaka a pau ma ka puka o ka halelewa e ku e ia laua: a ikea ae la ka nani o Iehova e ke anaina kanaka a pau.
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 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona, i mai la,
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
21 K hookaawale ae olua ia olua iho mai keia anaina kanaka aku, i hoopau koke ai au ia lakou.
“Step away from these Israelites and I will destroy them right away.”
22 Moe iho la laua, ilalo ke alo, i aku la, E ke Akua, ke Akua o na uhane o na kanaka a pau, a i hewa ke kanaka hookahi, e inaina mai no anei oe i ke anaina kanaka a pau?
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 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Then the Lord told Moses,
24 E olelo aku oe i ke anaina kanaka, e i aku, E hookaawale ae ia oukou iho mai kela aoao a mai keia aoao aku o ka halelewa o Kora, o Datana a o Abirama.
“Tell the people to move away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Ku ae la o Mose, a hele aku la io Datana a me Abirama la, a hahai aku la na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela ia ia.
So Moses went over to Dathan and Abiram, and the Israelite elders of Israel followed him.
26 Olelo aku la ia i ke anaina kanaka, i aku la, E hookaawale aku ia oukou iho mai na halelewa aku o keia mau kanaka hewa, mai hoopa aku i kekahi mea o lakou nei, o make auanei oukou iloko o ko lakou hewa a pau.
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 Alaila, haalele aku la lakou i ka halelewa o Kora a me Datana a me Abirama mai keia aoao a mai kela aoao aku: a puka mai la o Datana laua o Abirama iwaho, a ku mai la ma ka puka o ko laua mau halelewa, me ka laua mau wahine, me na keikikane a laua, a me ka laua mau keiki uuku.
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 I aku la o Mose, Ma keia mea e ike ai oukou, owau no ka Iehova i hoouna mai nei e hana i keia mau hana a pau; no ka mea, aole ia na kuu manao iho.
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 Ina paha e make keia poe kanaka e like me ka make ana o na kanaka a pau, a i ikeia'ku lakou e like me ka ikeia'na o na kanaka a pau, alaila aole na Iehova wau i hoouna mai.
If these men die a natural death, experiencing the destiny of every human being, then the Lord didn't sent me.
30 Aka ina e hana mai o Iehova i ka mea hou, a hamama ae ka honua i kona waha, a moni iho ia lakou nei, me na mea a pau ia lakou, a iho koke lakou ilalo i ka lua; alaila e ike pono oukou, ua hoonaukiuki aku keia mau kanaka ia Iehova. (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 A i ka manawa i hooki ai oia i ka olelo ana i keia mau mea a pau, naha'e la ka honua malalo iho o lakou:
Immediately Moses finished saying all this the ground under the rebels split apart,
32 A hamama ae la ka honua i kona waha, ale iho la ia lakou, me ko lakou mau hale, a me na kanaka a pau i pili aku ia Kora, a me ko lakou waiwai a pau.
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 O lakou a me ko lakou mea a pau, iho ola iho la iloko o ka lua, a paa hou mai la ka honua maluna o lakou; a make iho la lakou maiwaena aku o ke anaina kanaka. (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 A holo aku la ka Iseraela a pau ma kela aoao a ma keia aoao o lakou, i ko lakou hooho ana; i ae la lakou, O ale auanei ka honua ia kakou.
When they heard their cries, all the Israelites nearby ran away, shouting, “Watch out! The earth could swallow us too!”
35 Puka mai la ke ahi mai o Iehova mai, a ai mai la i na kanaka elua haneri me kanalima, o ka poe i mohai aku i ka mea ala.
Fire burst out from the Lord and burned up the 250 men who were offering incense.
36 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Then the Lord said to Moses,
37 E olelo aku ia Eleazara ke keiki a Aarona, ke kahuna, e lawe ia i na ipukuniala mailoko ae o ke ahi, a e hoolei aku i ke ahi ma o; no ka mea, ua laa ia mau mea.
“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 O na ipukuniala o keia poe i hana hewa aku i ko lakou mau uhane, e hana lakou ia mau mea i mau pa palahalaha, i uhi no ke kuahu: no ka mea, na kaumaha iho la lakou ia mau mea imua o Iehova, nolaila ua laa; a e lilo lakou i hoailona no na mamo a Iseraela.
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 A lawe ae la o Eleazara ke kahuna i na ipukuniala keleawe, i na mea a ka poe pau i ke ahi i mohai aku ai; a ua hanaia ua mau mea la i mau pa palahalaha no ke kuahu:
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 I mea hoomanao no na mamo a Iseraela, i ole ai ke kanaka e, ka mea aole na ka hua a Aarona, e hele mai a kokoke e kuni i ka mea ala imua o Iehova, i like ole ai ia me Kora, a me kona poe; me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai ia ia ma ka lima o Mose.
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 Ia la ae, ohumu ae la ke anaina kanaka a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, ia Mose a ia Aarona, i mai la, Ua make ia olua ko Iehova poe kanaka.
The next day all the Israelites complained to Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the Lord's people!”
42 Aia akoakoa ae ke anaina kanaka e ku e ia Mose a ia Aarona, nana ae la lakou i ka halelewa o ke anaina, aia hoi, uhi mai la ke ao, a ikea mai la hoi ka nani o Iehova.
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 Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona imua o ka halelewa o ke anaina.
Moses and Aaron went and stood at the front of the Tent of Meeting,
44 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
and the Lord said to Moses,
45 E hookaawale ae ia olua iho maiwaena ae o keia anaina kanaka, i hoopau koke ai au ia lakou. A moe iho la laua ilalo ke alo.
“Get away from these people and I will finish them off immediately.” Moses and Aaron fell facedown on the ground.
46 I aku la o Mose ia Aarona, E lawe oe i wahi ipukuniala, a e hahao i ke ahi maloko mailuna mai o ke kuahu, e kau hoi i ka mea ala maluna, a e hele koke aku i ke anaina kanaka, a e hookalahala no la kou; no ka mea, ua hele aku la ka inaina mai o Iehova aku; ua hoomakaia ke ahulau.
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 Lawe aku la o Aarona, e like me ka Mose i kauoha'i, a holo aku la iwaena o ke anaina kanaka; aia hoi, ua hoomakaia ke ahulau iwaena o ka poe kanaka: kau iho la ia i ka mea ala, a hookalahala aku la no ka poe kanaka.
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 Ku iho la ia iwaena o ka poe make a me ka poe ola; a hookiia iho la ke ahulau.
He stood between those who had died and those who were still alive, and the plague was stopped.
49 A o ka poe i make i ke ahulau, he umikumamaha tausani a me na haneri ehiku; he okoa ka poe i make no ka mea o Kora.
However, 14,700 died from the plague in addition to those who'd died because of Korah.
50 A hoi hou ae la o Aarona io Mose la, ma ka puka o ka halelewa o ke anaina: a ua hookiia ke ahulau.
Then Aaron went back to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting because the plague had been stopped.
