Ọnụọgụgụ 16
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
And behold Core the son of Isaar, the son of Caath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, and Hon the son of Pheleth of the children of Ruben,
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.
Rose up against Moses, and with them two hundred and fifty others of the children of Israel, leading men of the synagogue, and who in the time of assembly were called by name.
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 when they had stood up against Moses and Aaron, they said: Let it be enough for you, that all the multitude consisteth of holy ones, and the Lord is among them: Why lift you up yourselves above the people of the Lord?
4 Mgbe Mosis nụrụ ihe ndị a ha kwuru, ọ dara nʼala kpuo ihu ya nʼala.
When Moses heard this, he fell flat on 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 speaking to Core and all the multitude, he said: In the morning the Lord will make known who belong to him, and the holy he will join to himself: and whom he shall choose, they shall approach to him.
6 Lee ihe ị ga-eme, Echi gị onwe gị Kora, na ndị niile nọnyeere gị, chịrịnụ ihe ịgụ ọkụ,
Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy 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 putting fire in them tomorrow, put incense upon it before the Lord: and whomsoever he shall choose, the same shall be holy: you 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 he said again to Core: Hear 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?
Is it a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath spared you from all the people, and joined you to himself, that you should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and should stand before the congregation of the people, and should minister to him?
10 Ọ kpọbatala gị na ndị Livayị ibe gị nso ebe ọ nọ. Ugbu a, unu na-achọkwa ọrụ nchụaja?
Did he therefore make thee and all thy brethren the sons of Levi to approach unto him, that you should challenge to yourselves 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?”
And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you 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.
Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.
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 matter to thee, that thou hast brought us out of a land that flowed with milk and honey, to kill us in the desert, except thou rule also like a lord 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!”
Thou best brought us indeed into a land that floweth with rivers of milk and honey, and hast given us possessions of fields and vineyards; wilt thou also pull out our eyes? We will not come.
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.”
Moses therefore being very angry, raid to the Lord: Respect not their sacrifices: thou knowest that I have not taken of them so much as a young ass at any time, nor have injured any 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 he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord tomorrow, and Aaron apart.
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.”
Take every one of you censers, and put incense upon them, offering to the Lord two hundred and fifty censers: let Aaron also hold 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.
When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing,
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 had drawn up all the multitude against them to the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.
20 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị,
And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
21 “Sitenụ nʼetiti ọgbakọ ndị a pụọ, ka m bibie ha nʼotu ntabi anya.”
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them.
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?”
They fell flat on their face, and said: O most mighty, the God of the spirits of all flesh, for one man’s sin shall thy wrath rage against all?
23 Ma Onyenwe anyị zara Mosis sị ya,
And the Lord said to Moses:
24 “Gwa nzukọ Izrel niile sị ha, ‘Wezuganụ onwe unu site nʼụlọ ikwu Kora, Datan na Abiram.’”
Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron.
25 Mosis biliri jekwuru Datan na Abiram, ndị okenye Izrel sokwa Mosis.
And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following 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.”
He said to the multitude: Depart from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be involved in 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.
And when they were departed from their tents round about, Dathan and Abiron coming out stood in the entry of their pavilions with their wives and children, and all the people.
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: By this you shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all things that you see, and that I have not forged them of my own head:
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 men, and if they be visited with a plague, wherewith others also are wont to be visited, the Lord did not send 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 h7585)
But if the Lord do a new thing, and the earth opening her mouth swallow them down, and all things that belong to them, and they go down alive into hell, you shall know that they have blasphemed the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
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 immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet:
32 ala ahụ meghere ọnụ ya, loo ha, na ezinaụlọ ha niile, na ndị ahụ niile so Kora, na ihe niile ha nwere.
And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance.
33 Ha niile rịdaruru nʼala ndị nwụrụ anwụ na ndụ. Ala ahụ kpuchikwara ha niile, si otu a mee ka ha laa nʼiyi. (Sheol h7585)
And they went down alive into hell the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people. (Sheol h7585)
34 Ndị Izrel niile nọ ha gburugburu gbara ọsọ, mgbe ha tiri mkpu akwa, na-asị, “Ala na-agakwa iloda anyị.”
But all Israel, that was standing round about, fled at the cry of them that were perishing: saying: Lest perhaps the earth swallow us up also.
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 a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
36 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
And the Lord spoke to 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.
Command Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers that lie in the burning, and to scatter the fire of one side and the other: because they are sanctified
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.”
In the deaths of the sinners: and let him beat them into plates, and fasten them to the altar, because incense hath been offered in them to the Lord, and they are sanctified, that the children of Israel may see them for a sign and a memorial.
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,
Then Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherein they had offered, whom the burning fire had devoured, and beat them into plates, fastening them to 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.
That the children of Israel might have for the time to come wherewith they should be admonished, that no stranger or any one that is not of seed of Aaron should come near to offer incense to the Lord, lest he should suffer as Core suffered, and all his congregation, according as the Lord spoke to Moses.
41 Ma nʼụtụtụ echi ya, nzukọ Izrel niile malitere itamu ntamu megide Mosis na Erọn sị, “Unu egbuchaala ndị nke Onyenwe anyị.”
The following day all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: You have killed the people of the Lord.
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 when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
43 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis na Erọn gara nʼihu ụlọ nzute ahụ.
Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when the were gone into it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
44 Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
And the Lord said to Moses:
45 “Sinụ nʼetiti ọgbakọ a pụọ ka m bibie ha nʼotu ntabi anya.” Ha dara kpuo ihu nʼala.
Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground,
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.”
Moses said to Aaron: Take the censer, and putting fire in it from the altar, put incense upon it, and go quickly to the people to pray for them: for already wrath is gone out from the Lord, and the plague rageth.
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.
When Aaron had done this, and had run to the midst of the multitude which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense:
48 O guzokwara nʼetiti ndị dị ndụ na ndị nwụrụ anwụ tutu ihe otiti ahụ akwụsị.
And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.
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.
And the number of them that were slain was fourteen thousand and seven hundred men, besides them that had perished in the sedition of Core.
50 Mgbe ahụ, Erọn laghachikwutere Mosis nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ, nʼihi na nrịa nrịa ahụ na-efe efe akwụsịla.
And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over.
