< 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:
Now Korah son of Izhar son of Kohath son of Levi, along with Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, descendants of Reuben, gathered some men.
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 rose up against Moses, along with other men from the people of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the community who were well-known members in the community.
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 assembled themselves together to confront Moses and Aaron. They said to them, “You have gone too far! All the community is set apart, every one of them, and Yahweh is among them. Why do you lift up yourselves above the rest of Yahweh's community?”
4 A lohe ae la o Mose, moe iho la ia ilalo ke alo.
When Moses heard that, he lay facedown.
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.
He spoke to Korah and to all those with him, “In the morning Yahweh will make known who belongs to him and who is set apart to him. He will bring that person near to him. The one he chooses he will bring near to himself.
6 O keia ka oukou e hana'i; E lawe oukou i na ipukuniala, o Kora a me kona mau hoa a pau;
Do this, Korah and all your group. Take censers
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.
tomorrow and put fire and incense in them before Yahweh. The one whom Yahweh chooses, that man will be set apart to Yahweh. You have gone too far, you descendants of Levi.”
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.
Again, Moses said to Korah, “Now listen, you descendants of Levi:
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?
is it a small thing for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the community of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do work in Yahweh's tabernacle, and to stand before the community to 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 brought you near, and all your kinfolk, the descendants of Levi, with you, yet you are seeking the priesthood 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?
That is why you and all your group have gathered together against Yahweh. So why are you complaining about Aaron, who obeys Yahweh?”
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 called for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come up.
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?
Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness? Now you want to make yourself ruler over 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.
In addition, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us the fields and vineyards as an inheritance. Now do you want to blind us with empty promises? 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.
Moses was very angry and said to Yahweh, “Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, and I have not harmed any of them.”
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 said to Korah, “Tomorrow you and all your company must go before Yahweh—you and they, and Aaron.
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 of you must take his censer and put incense in it. Then each man must bring before Yahweh his censer, two hundred and fifty censers. You and Aaron, also, must each bring your censer.”
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 every man took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense in it, and stood at the entrance to the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
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.
Korah assembled all the community against Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and Yahweh's glory appeared to all the community.
20 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona, i mai la,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron:
21 K hookaawale ae olua ia olua iho mai keia anaina kanaka aku, i hoopau koke ai au ia lakou.
“Separate yourselves from among this community that I may consume 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?
Moses and Aaron lay facedown and said, “God, the God of the spirits of all humanity, if one man sins, must you be angry with all the community?”
23 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Yahweh replied to Moses. He said,
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.
“Speak to the community. Say, '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.
Then Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; the 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 spoke to the community and said, “Now leave the tents of these wicked men and touch nothing of theirs, or you will be consumed by 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.
So the community on every side of the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram left them. Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance to their tents, with their wives, sons, and their 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.
Then Moses said, “By this you will know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own accord.
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 such as normally happens, then Yahweh has not 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 )
But if Yahweh creates something new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that they possess, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you must understand that these men have despised Yahweh.” (Sheol )
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 finished speaking all these words, the ground opened under 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.
The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their families, and all the people who belonged to Korah, as well as all 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 )
So they and all that they possessed went down alive into Sheol. The earth closed over them, and they perished from among the community. (Sheol )
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.
All Israel around them fled from their cries. They exclaimed, “The earth may swallow us up 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.
Then fire flashed out from Yahweh and devoured the 250 men who had offered incense.
36 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Again Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
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.
“Speak to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest and let him take up the censers out of the flames, for the censers are set apart to me. Then let him scatter the burning coals at a distance.
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.
Take the censers of those who lost their lives because of their sin. Let them be made into hammered plates as a covering over the altar. Those men did offer them before me, so they are set apart to me. They will be a sign of my presence to the people of Israel.”
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:
Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers that had been used by the men who were burned up, and they were hammered out into 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.
to be a reminder to the people of Israel, so that no outsider who was not descended from Aaron should come up to burn incense before Yahweh, so they might not become like Korah and his group—just as Yahweh had commanded through Moses.
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 next morning all the community of the people of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron. They said, “You have killed Yahweh'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.
Then it happened, when the community had assembled against Moses and Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting and, behold, the cloud was covering it. Yahweh's glory appeared,
43 Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona imua o ka halelewa o ke anaina.
and Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
44 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
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.
“Go away from in front of this community so that I may consume them immediately.” Then Moses and Aaron lay down with their faces to 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 said to Aaron, “Take the censer, put fire in it from off the altar, put incense in it, carry it quickly to the community, and make atonement for them, because anger is coming from Yahweh. The plague has begun.”
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 as Moses directed. He ran into the middle of the community. The plague had quickly started to spread among the people, so he put in the incense and made atonement for the people.
48 Ku iho la ia iwaena o ka poe make a me ka poe ola; a hookiia iho la ke ahulau.
Aaron stood between the dead and the living; in this way 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.
Those who died by the plague were 14,700 in number, besides those who had died in the matter 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.
Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and the plague ended.
