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:
One day Korah, who was the son of Izhar and a descendant of Levi’s son Kohath, conspired with Dathan and Abiram, who were the sons of Eliab, and On, who was the son of Peleth. Those three men 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:
Korah and those other three men incited 250 other people who were leaders among the Israeli people to join them in rebelling against Moses/me.
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 came together to criticize Aaron and Moses/me. They said to them/us, “You two are using more [authority] than you should! Yahweh has set apart all of us Israeli people, and he is with/helping all of us. So why do you act as though you are more important than the rest of us people who belong to Yahweh [RHQ]?”
4 A lohe ae la o Mose, moe iho la ia ilalo ke alo.
When Moses/I heard what they were saying, he/I prostrated himself/myself 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/I said to Korah and those [Israeli leaders] who were with Korah, “Tomorrow morning Yahweh will show us whom he has chosen to be his [priest], and who is holy and allowed to come near to him. Yahweh will permit [only] those whom he chooses to come into his presence.
6 O keia ka oukou e hana'i; E lawe oukou i na ipukuniala, o Kora a me kona mau hoa a pau;
So Korah, tomorrow you and those who are with you must prepare your pans to burn incense.
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.
Then you must light a fire in them and burn the incense in the presence of Yahweh. Then we will see which one of us Yahweh has chosen to be his holy servant. It is you men who are descendants of Levi who are trying to use more [authority] than you should!”
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.
Then Moses/I spoke again to Korah. He/I said, “You men who are descendants of Levi, listen to me!
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?
The God of us Israelis has chosen all of you to be close to him in order that you can work for him at his Sacred Tent and serve the people. (Is that unimportant/Does that mean nothing) to you [RHQ]?
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?
Yahweh has brought you, [Korah], and your fellow descendants of Levi, near to himself. Now are you demanding to become priests also?
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?
It is really Yahweh against whom you and your fellow descendants of Levi are rebelling. Aaron is not the one about whom you are really complaining [RHQ].”
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.
Then Moses/I summoned Dathan and Abiram, but [they refused to come]. They [sent a message] saying, “We will not come to 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?
You brought us out of Egypt, which was a very fertile [IDM] land, in order to cause us to die here in this desert. That was bad. But now you are also trying to boss us [RHQ], and that is worse.
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.
You have not given us a new land to live in, a land that has good fields and vineyards. You are only trying to [RHQ] trick these people. So we will not come to you.”
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.
Then Moses/I became very angry. He/I said to Yahweh, “Do not accept the grain offerings that they have brought. I have not taken anything from them, not even one donkey, and I have never done anything wrong to them, [so they have no reason to complain about me].”
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.
Then Moses/I said to Korah, “You and all those who are with you must come here tomorrow and stand in front of Yahweh. Aaron will also be here.
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.
You and all the 250 men who are with you must each take a pan in which to burn incense, and put incense in it, to [burn it to be] an offering to Yahweh. Aaron will do the same thing.”
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 [the next day] each of those men got a pan to burn incense. They put in it incense and hot coals to light it, and then they all stood at the entrance of the Sacred Tent with Aaron and Moses/me.
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.
Then Korah summoned all the people who supported him and who were against Moses/me, and they also gathered at the entrance of the tent. Then the glory of Yahweh appeared to all of them/us,
20 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona, i mai la,
and Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
21 K hookaawale ae olua ia olua iho mai keia anaina kanaka aku, i hoopau koke ai au ia lakou.
“Get away from all these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately!”
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 Aaron and Moses/I prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground. We pleaded with Yahweh, saying, “God, you are the one who caused all these people to live [MTY]. Only one of these men has sinned; so, (is it right for you to be angry with all the people?/it is not right for you to be angry with all the people!) [RHQ]”
23 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
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.
“[Okay], but tell all the people to get away from the tents 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/I stood up and went to the tents of Dathan and Abiram. The Israeli leaders followed him/me.
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/I told the people, “Get away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything that belongs to them! If you touch anything, you will die because of 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.
So all the people moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram came out of their tents with their wives and children and babies, and stood at the entrances of their tents.
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.
Then Moses/I said, “I was not the one who decided to do all these things that I have done. It was Yahweh who [chose me and] sent me to do them. And now he will prove that to you.
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 in a normal way, then it will be clear that Yahweh did not choose 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 Yahweh does something that has never happened before, if he causes the ground [that is under their feet] to open up and swallow these men [and their families] and all their possessions, and they fall into the opening and are buried while they are still alive, then you will know that these men have insulted Yahweh.” (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:
As soon as Moses/I said this, the ground split open beneath those men.
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.
It swallowed them and their families and all those who were standing there with Korah and all of their possessions.
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 fell into the opening in the ground while they were still alive, and all their possessions fell into the opening also. They disappeared, and the ground closed back up again. (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.
They screamed as they fell, and all the people who were standing nearby heard them scream. The people [were terrified and] cried out as they ran away, saying, “[We do not want] the ground to swallow us also!”
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.
And then a fire from Yahweh came down [from the sky] and burned up the 250 men who were burning the incense!
36 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
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 Aaron’s son Eleazar to take the pans that had incense in them away from the fire and to scatter the burning coals. The pans that those men [were carrying] are (holy/dedicated to me) [because they burned incense to me in them].
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.
Those men have now died because of their sin; so [Eleazar must] take their pans and hammer the metal to make it become very thin. He must make a covering for the altar with that metal. Those pans were used to offer incense to me, so they are (holy/dedicated to me). [What happened to] those pans will now warn the Israeli people.”
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 250 pans for burning incense that had been used by the men who died in the fire. He hammered the pans very thin to make a covering for the altar, as Yahweh told Moses/me should be done.
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.
That warned the Israeli people that only those who were descendants of Aaron were permitted to burn incense for an offering to Yahweh. If anyone else did that, the same thing that happened to Korah and those who were with him would happen to them.
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.
But the following morning, all the Israeli people started to complain against Aaron and Moses/me, saying “You have killed many people who belonged to Yahweh!”
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.
When all the people gathered together to protest about what Aaron and Moses/I had done, they looked at the Sacred Tent and saw that the sacred cloud had covered it, and the glory of Yahweh had appeared.
43 Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona imua o ka halelewa o ke anaina.
Aaron and Moses/I went and stood in front of the Sacred Tent.
44 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
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, in order that I can get rid of them immediately [without injuring you two]!” But Aaron and Moses/I prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground [and prayed].
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/I said to Aaron, “Quickly take another pan and put in it some burning/hot coals from the altar. Put incense in the pan, and carry it out among the people to atone for the sins of the people. Yahweh is very angry with them, and [I know that] a (severe plague/bad sickness) has already started among them.”
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.
So Aaron did what Moses/I told him. He took the burning incense out among the people. The plague had already started to strike the people, but Aaron continued to burn the incense so that God would forgive them for the sins they had committed.
48 Ku iho la ia iwaena o ka poe make a me ka poe ola; a hookiia iho la ke ahulau.
He stood between the people who had already died and those who were still alive, and then the plague 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.
But 14,700 people had already died from that plague/sickness, in addition to the people who died with 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 after the plague had ended, Aaron and Moses/I returned to the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
