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
Now Korach, the son of Yizhar, the son of Kehath, the son of Levi, was presumptuous, together with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben:
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.
So that they rose up before Moses, with certain men of the children of Israel, in number two hundred and fifty; [who were] 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 against Moses, and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye assume too much; for the whole of the congregation are all of them holy, and the Lord is among them; wherefore then will you lift yourselves up above the congregation of the Lord?
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 spoke unto Korach and unto all his company, saying, Tomorrow, —then will the Lord make known who is his, and who is holy, that he may cause them to come near unto him; and 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 ye: Take yourselves censers, Korach 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 therein fire, and put upon them incense before the Lord, tomorrow; and it shall be that the man whom the Lord will choose, he shall be the holy one; you assume too much, 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 Korach, Hear, I pray you, 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?
It is too little for you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near unto himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister for them?
10 Ọ kpọbatala gị na ndị Livayị ibe gị nso ebe ọ nọ. Ugbu a, unu na-achọkwa ọrụ nchụaja?
And he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and now will ye seek 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?”
For which cause [beware], thou and all thy company that are gathered together against the Lord; for Aaron, what is he, that ye should 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; but 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 too little that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that thou wilt assume to 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, and thou hast not given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou bore 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 this displeased Moses greatly, and he said unto the Lord, Have no respect unto their offering: I have not taken away an ass of any one of them, nor have I done wrong to any 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 Korach, Thou and all thy company, be ye before the Lord, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
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 near before the Lord 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 on them, and laid incense thereupon; and they stood at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation 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 Korach assembled against them all the congregation unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and the glory of the Lord then appeared unto all the congregation.
20 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 “Sitenụ nʼetiti ọgbakọ ndị a pụọ, ka m bibie ha nʼotu ntabi anya.”
Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and I will make an end of 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, this one man doth sin, and with all the congregation wouldst thou be wroth!
23 Ma Onyenwe anyị zara Mosis sị ya,
And the Lord spoke 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 away from about the dwelling of Korach, 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 there went after him the elders of Israel.
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 spoke unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing which belongeth to them, lest ye be destroyed through 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 got away from the dwelling of Korach, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, standing [boldly] at the door of their tents, with 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, Through this shall ye know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these deeds; that [I have] not done them out of my own heart.
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 as all men die, and if the visitation of all men be visited on them: then hath the Lord 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 h7585)
But if the Lord do create a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertaineth unto them, and they go down alive into the pit: then shall ye understand that these men have provoked 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 it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground that was under them was cloven asunder:
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 her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korach, 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 h7585)
And they went down, they, and all they that appertained to them, alive into the pit; and the earth closed over them, and they disappeared from the midst of the congregation. (Sheol h7585)
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 their cry; for they said, Perhaps the earth may 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 there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had offered the incense.
36 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
And the Lord spoke 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 Elazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he lift up the censers out of the burning, and throw out the fire far away; for they have been hallowed:
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.”
The censers of these sinners against their own lives; and they shall make of them broad plates for a covering for the altar; for they brought them near before the Lord, and they have thus become hallowed; and they shall serve for 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 Elazar the priest took the copper censers, which they that were burnt had brought near; and they beat them out for a covering unto 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.
As a memorial unto the children of Israel, in order that no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, should come near to burn incense before the Lord; that he become not as Korach, and as his company; as the Lord had spoken to him by the hand of Moses.
41 Ma nʼụtụtụ echi ya, nzukọ Izrel niile malitere itamu ntamu megide Mosis na Erọn sị, “Unu egbuchaala ndị nke Onyenwe anyị.”
And all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, on the morrow, saying, It is you who have caused the people of the Lord to die.
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 assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation, and, behold, the cloud covered it; and the glory of the Lord appeared.
43 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis na Erọn gara nʼihu ụlọ nzute ahụ.
And Moses came with Aaron before the tabernacle of the congregation.
44 Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
45 “Sinụ nʼetiti ọgbakọ a pụọ ka m bibie ha nʼotu ntabi anya.” Ha dara kpuo ihu nʼala.
Remove yourselves from the midst of 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 the censer, and put therein fire from off the altar, and put on incense, and carry [it] quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them; for the wrath is gone forth from the Lord; the plague hath 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 had commanded, and he ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague had begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made an 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.
And those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those that had died about the matter of Korach.
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, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, after the plague had been stayed.
