1 Ugbu a, Kora nwa Izha, nwa Kohat, nwa Livayị, na ụfọdụ ndị agbụrụ Ruben bụ Datan, na Abiram ụmụ Eliab, na On, nwa Pelet nupuru isi
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 Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men]:
2 bilie imegide Mosis. Ndị so ha bụ narị ndị ikom abụọ na iri ise, ndị ndu a maara nke ọma, ndị so nọdụ nʼụlọ nzukọ ukwuu ndị Izrel.
and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown;
3 Ha kpọrọ ọgbakọ imegide Mosis na Erọn sị ha, “Omume unu agafeela oke! Ọgbakọ Izrel dị nsọ, onye ọbụla nʼime ha kwa. Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere ha. Gịnị mere unu ji ebuli onwe unu elu karịa ọgbakọ Onyenwe anyị?”
and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and Jehovah is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of Jehovah?
4 Mgbe Mosis nụrụ ihe ndị a ha kwuru, ọ dara nʼala kpuo ihu ya nʼala.
And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
5 Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara Kora na ndị niile sonyeere ya, sị, “Nʼụtụtụ echi, Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka amara ndị bụ ndị ya na onye dị nsọ. Ọ ga-eme ka onye ahụ bịaruo ya nso. Onye ọ ga-ahọpụta ka ọ ga-emekwa ka ọ bịaruo ya nso.
and he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, In the morning Jehovah will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he shall choose will he cause to come near unto him.
6 Lee ihe ị ga-eme, Echi gị onwe gị Kora, na ndị niile nọnyeere gị, chịrịnụ ihe ịgụ ọkụ,
This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
7 mụnye ha ọkụ. Tinyekwanụ ụda na-esi isi ụtọ nʼime ha, were ha bịa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Onye ahụ Onyenwe anyị họpụtara ga-abụ onye ahụ dị nsọ. O zuorola unu, unu ụmụ Livayị!”
and put fire in them, and put incense upon them before Jehovah to-morrow: and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah doth choose, he [shall be] holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
8 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis gwakwara Kora okwu ọzọ sị ya, “Ugbu a, geenụ ntị, unu ndị Livayị!
And Moses said unto Korah, Hear now, ye sons of Levi:
9 Ọ bụ ihe dị nta nʼanya unu na Chineke nke Izrel kewapụtara unu site na nzukọ ndị Izrel niile, mee ka unu bịaruo ya nso, nʼihi ije ozi nʼụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị, nakwa iguzo nʼihu nzukọ Izrel niile ijere ha ozi?
[seemeth it but] a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them;
10 Ọ kpọbatala gị na ndị Livayị ibe gị nso ebe ọ nọ. Ugbu a, unu na-achọkwa ọrụ nchụaja?
and that he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and seek ye the priesthood also?
11 Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị ka gị na ndị sonyeere gị gbara izu megide. Onye ka Erọn bụ unu ji atamu ntamu megide ya?”
Therefore thou and all thy company are gathered together against Jehovah: and Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?
12 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis ziri ozi ka a kpọọ Datan na Abiram, ụmụ ndị ikom Eliab, ma ha sịrị, “Anyị agaghị abịa.
And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not come up:
13 Ọ bụ na o zurughị gị na i si nʼala Ijipt ebe mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru kpọpụta anyị igbuchapụ anyị nʼọzara a? Ugbu a ị chọkwara ime onwe gị onyenwe anyị?
is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but thou must needs make thyself also a prince over us?
14 Nke kachasị nke, ị kpọbatabeghị anyị nʼala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya. I nyebeghị anyị ihe nketa ala ubi na ubi vaịnị. Ị chọrọ ịghụpụsị ndị ikom ndị a mkpụrụ anya? Anyị agaghị abịa!”
Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
15 Mgbe ahụ, oke iwe were Mosis. Ọ kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị sị ya, “Anabatakwala aja ha niile! Ọ dịbeghị oge m naara ha ihe ọbụla, ọbụladị otu ịnyịnya ibu! O nwekwaghị onye ọbụla nʼime ha m mejọrọ.”
And Moses was very wroth, and said unto Jehovah, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
16 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis sịrị Kora, “Echi, gị na ndị na-esonyere gị ga-apụta bịa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Erọn ga-abịakwa.
And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow:
17 Nwoke ọbụla ga-eweta ihe ịgụ ọkụ nke ya, tinye ya ụda na-esi isi ụtọ, chee ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ha niile dị ihe ịgụ ọkụ narị abụọ na iri ise. Gị na Erọn ga-ejikwa nke unu bịa.”
and take ye every man his censer, and put incense upon them, and bring ye before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each his censer.
18 Ya mere, nwoke ọbụla wetara ihe ịgụ ọkụ nke ya, mụnye ya ọkụ, ma tinye ya ụda na-esi isi ụtọ. Ha niile guzoro nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ, ha na Mosis na Erọn.
And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
19 Mgbe Kora kpọkọtara ndị na-eso ya imegide Mosis na Erọn nʼihu ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, ebube Onyenwe anyị pụtara ihe nye ọgbakọ Izrel niile.
And Korah assembled all the congregation against them unto the door of the tent of meeting: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto all the congregation.
20 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị,
And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 “Sitenụ nʼetiti ọgbakọ ndị a pụọ, ka m bibie ha nʼotu ntabi anya.”
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
22 Ma Mosis na Erọn dara kpuo ihu nʼala nʼihu Onyenwe anyị rịọọ ya sị, “O Chineke, gị bụ Chineke nwe ndụ mmadụ niile, ị ga-ewe iwe megide nzukọ niile nʼihi mmehie otu onye?”
And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
23 Ma Onyenwe anyị zara Mosis sị ya,
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
24 “Gwa nzukọ Izrel niile sị ha, ‘Wezuganụ onwe unu site nʼụlọ ikwu Kora, Datan na Abiram.’”
Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25 Mosis biliri jekwuru Datan na Abiram, ndị okenye Izrel sokwa Mosis.
And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 Mgbe Mosis ruru nʼebe ahụ, ọ dọrọ nzukọ Izrel aka na ntị sị, “Ngwa, sinụ nʼụlọ ndị ọjọọ a wezuga onwe unu. Unu ebitụkwala ihe ọbụla bụ nke ha aka. Ma ọ bụghị otu a, a ga-agụnyekọ unu na mmehie ha, lakọọ unu na ha nʼiyi.”
And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
27 Ya mere mmadụ niile wezugara onwe ha site nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu Kora, na Datan na Abiram. Ma Datan na Abiram pụtara guzoro nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ikwu ha, ha onwe ha na ndị nwunye ha niile, na ụmụ ha niile, na ụmụntakịrị ha niile.
So they gat them up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
28 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis kwuru sị, “Ugbu a ka unu ga-amata na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị zitere m ime ihe ndị a niile m mere. Nʼihi na-emeghị m ha site nʼuche nke onwe m.
And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah hath sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of mine own mind.
29 Ọ bụrụ na ndị ikom ndị a anwụọ ọnwụ chi ha, bụ ụdị nleta nke dịrị mmadụ ọbụla, mgbe ahụ, matanụ na ọ bụghị Onyenwe anyị zitere m.
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Jehovah hath not sent me.
30 Ma ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị emee ihe ọhụrụ dị iche, mee ka ala meghee ọnụ ya, lodaa ndị a niile, na ihe niile bụ nke ha, si otu a mee ka ha rịda nʼala ili na ndụ, mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na ndị ikom ndị a eledala Onyenwe anyị anya.” (Sheol )
But if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then ye shall understand that these men have despised Jehovah. (Sheol )
31 Mgbe Mosis kpụ okwu a nʼọnụ ya, lee ala ahụ Kora, na Datan, na Abiram, na ndị ezinaụlọ ha niile guzo nʼelu ya kewara abụọ nʼotu ntabi anya ahụ,
And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them;
32 ala ahụ meghere ọnụ ya, loo ha, na ezinaụlọ ha niile, na ndị ahụ niile so Kora, na ihe niile ha nwere.
and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
33 Ha niile rịdaruru nʼala ndị nwụrụ anwụ na ndụ. Ala ahụ kpuchikwara ha niile, si otu a mee ka ha laa nʼiyi. (Sheol )
So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into Sheol: and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly. (Sheol )
34 Ndị Izrel niile nọ ha gburugburu gbara ọsọ, mgbe ha tiri mkpu akwa, na-asị, “Ala na-agakwa iloda anyị.”
And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.
35 Mgbe ahụ, ọkụ si nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ dara, rechapụ narị mmadụ abụọ na iri ise ndị ahụ na-enye onyinye aja nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ.
And fire came forth from Jehovah, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
36 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
37 “Gwa Elieza nwa Erọn, onye nchụaja, ka o site nʼọkụ ahụ wepụta ihe ịgụ ọkụ ndị ahụ niile nʼihi na ha dị nsọ. Ọ ga-ekposakwa icheku ọkụ niile nʼakụkụ niile.
Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are holy,
38 Ha bụ ihe ịgụ ọkụ nke ndị ikom sitere na mmehie ha tufuo ndụ ha. Ka etipịa ihe ịgụ ọkụ ndị ahụ. Mee ha ka ha ghọọ ihe sara mbara nke a ga-eji machite ebe ịchụ aja, nʼihi na e chere ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ha aghọọla ihe dị nsọ. Ka ha bụrụ ihe ịrịbama nye ndị Izrel niile.”
even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Jehovah; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
39 Ya mere Elieza, onye nchụaja, chịkọtara ihe ịgụ ọkụ bronz ndị ahụ nke ndị ahụ a kpọrọ ọkụ wetara, tipịa ha, mee ka ha ghọọ ihe sara mbara e ji ekpuchi ebe ịchụ aja,
And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,
40 dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu site nʼọnụ Mosis. Ka ọ bụrụ ihe ncheta nye ndị Izrel niile na onye mba ọzọ a na-enyeghị ike, nke na-esiteghị nʼagbụrụ Erọn, ekwesighị ịbịaru Onyenwe anyị nso isure aja nsure ọkụ nye ya, ka ihe mere Kora na ndị sonyere ya ghara ime ha.
to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, that is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to burn incense before Jehovah; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as Jehovah spake unto him by Moses.
41 Ma nʼụtụtụ echi ya, nzukọ Izrel niile malitere itamu ntamu megide Mosis na Erọn sị, “Unu egbuchaala ndị nke Onyenwe anyị.”
But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah.
42 Ma mgbe ọgbakọ Izrel zukọtara imegide Mosis na Erọn, mgbe ha chere ihu nʼụlọ nzute, na mberede, igwe ojii kpuchiri ụlọ nzute ahụ, ebube Onyenwe anyị pụtakwara ihe.
And it came to pass, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared.
43 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis na Erọn gara nʼihu ụlọ nzute ahụ.
And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
44 Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
45 “Sinụ nʼetiti ọgbakọ a pụọ ka m bibie ha nʼotu ntabi anya.” Ha dara kpuo ihu nʼala.
Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
46 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis sịrị Erọn, “Ngwa, were ihe ịgụ ọkụ ma site nʼebe ịchụ aja gụnye ya ọkụ. Tinye ya ụda na-esi isi ụtọ. Burukwa ya gaa ngwangwa nʼetiti nzukọ Izrel ka i kpuchiere ha mmehie ha, nʼihi na iwe ọkụ Onyenwe anyị adakwasịla ha. Nrịa nrịa na-efe efe amalitekwalarị ibibi ha.”
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take thy censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah; the plague is begun.
47 Erọn mere dịka Mosis kwuru. O mere ngwangwa gbaba nʼetiti ndị Izrel nʼihi na nrịa nrịa ahụ ebidola nʼezie ịdakwasị ha. Erọn mụnyere ụda na-esi isi ụtọ ahụ ọkụ, si otu ahụ kpuchiere ha mmehie ha niile.
And Aaron took as Moses spake, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
48 O guzokwara nʼetiti ndị dị ndụ na ndị nwụrụ anwụ tutu ihe otiti ahụ akwụsị.
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49 Ma ihe otiti ahụ egbuolarị puku mmadụ iri, puku anọ na narị asaa. A gụnyeghị ndị niile ahụ so Kora nwụọ nʼụbọchị gara aga.
Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.
50 Mgbe ahụ, Erọn laghachikwutere Mosis nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ, nʼihi na nrịa nrịa ahụ na-efe efe akwụsịla.
And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tent of meeting: and the plague was stayed.
