Bilangan 16
1 Korah anak Yizhar dari kaum Kehat, suku Lewi, memberontak terhadap Musa. Ia didukung oleh tiga orang dari suku Ruben, yaitu Datan dan Abiram anak-anak Eliab, dan On anak Pelet, dan oleh 250 orang pemimpin terkenal yang dipilih oleh rakyat.
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,
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 Mereka bersama-sama pergi menghadap Musa dan Harun dan berkata, "Cukuplah itu, Musa! Seluruh umat Israel dikhususkan untuk TUHAN, dan TUHAN ada di tengah-tengah kita sekalian. Tetapi mengapa engkau menganggap dirimu lebih tinggi dari umat TUHAN?"
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 Mendengar itu, Musa sujud di tanah dan berdoa kepada TUHAN.
When Moses heard this, he fell flat on his face:
5 Lalu ia berkata kepada Korah dan pengikut-pengikutnya, "Besok pagi TUHAN akan menunjukkan kepada kita siapa kepunyaan-Nya, dan siapa yang dikhususkan bagi-Nya. Orang yang dipilih-Nya akan diperbolehkan-Nya mendekati Dia.
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 Besok pagi engkau dan para pengikutmu harus mengambil tempat-tempat api, mengisinya dengan bara api dan dupa, dan membawanya ke mezbah. Baiklah kita lihat nanti siapa di antara kita yang telah dipilih TUHAN. Cukuplah itu, hai orang-orang Lewi!"
Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company.
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 Selanjutnya Musa berkata kepada Korah, "Dengarlah, hai orang-orang Lewi!
And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi.
9 Apakah kamu pikir ini soal kecil bahwa Allah Israel memilih kamu dari antara orang-orang Israel supaya kamu boleh mendekati Dia, dan bertugas di Kemah-Nya, serta bekerja untuk umat Israel dan melayani mereka?
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 Kau, Korah, dan semua orang Lewi sudah mendapat kehormatan itu dari TUHAN--dan sekarang kamu menuntut untuk menjadi imam juga!
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 Jika engkau dengan pengikut-pengikutmu mengomel terhadap Harun, sesungguhnya kamu melawan TUHAN!"
And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?
12 Lalu Musa menyuruh memanggil Datan dan Abiram, tetapi mereka berkata, "Kami tak mau datang!
Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.
13 Belum cukupkah engkau membawa kami keluar dari tanah Mesir yang subur itu untuk membunuh kami di padang gurun ini? Haruskah engkau memerintah kami juga?
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 Sesungguhnya engkau tidak membawa kami ke tanah yang subur, atau memberi kami ladang-ladang dan kebun-kebun anggur menjadi milik pusaka kami! Sekarang engkau mau menipu kami! Tidak, kami tidak mau datang!"
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 Musa marah sekali dan berkata kepada TUHAN, "TUHAN, janganlah menerima persembahan mereka. Tak pernah saya merugikan seorang pun dari mereka; bahkan seekor keledai pun tak pernah saya ambil dari mereka."
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 Lalu kata Musa kepada Korah, "Datanglah besok ke Kemah TUHAN bersama ke-250 pengikutmu. Harun juga akan ada di sana. Kamu harus membawa tempat apimu masing-masing. Taruhlah dupa di dalamnya, lalu persembahkanlah kepada TUHAN."
And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord tomorrow, and Aaron apart.
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 Maka setiap orang mengambil tempat apinya, mengisinya dengan bara api dan dupa, lalu berdiri di pintu Kemah TUHAN bersama Musa dan Harun.
When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing,
19 Kemudian Korah mengumpulkan seluruh umat dan mereka berdiri berhadapan dengan Musa dan Harun di pintu Kemah TUHAN. Tiba-tiba seluruh umat melihat cahaya kemilau TUHAN.
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 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun,
And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
21 "Mundurlah dari orang-orang itu; Aku mau membinasakan mereka sekarang juga."
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them.
22 Tetapi Musa dan Harun sujud menyembah dan berkata, "Ya Allah, Engkaulah yang memberi kehidupan kepada segala yang hidup. Kalau hanya seorang saja yang berdosa, apakah Engkau marah kepada seluruh umat?"
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 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
And the Lord said to Moses:
24 "Suruhlah orang-orang menyingkir dari kemah-kemah Korah, Datan dan Abiram."
Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron.
25 Lalu Musa dengan diiringi para pemimpin Israel, pergi ke tempat Datan dan Abiram.
And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following him,
26 Musa berkata kepada orang-orang Israel, "Menyingkirlah dari kemah orang-orang jahat ini dan jangan menyentuh apa pun dari milik mereka. Kalau kamu tidak menurut, kamu akan dibinasakan bersama mereka karena dosa-dosa mereka."
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 Lalu orang-orang Israel itu menyingkir dari kemah-kemah Korah, Datan dan Abiram. Datan dan Abiram sudah keluar dan sedang berdiri di pintu kemah masing-masing, dengan anak istri mereka.
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 Lalu Musa berkata, "Dengan ini kamu akan tahu bahwa TUHAN telah mengutus saya untuk melakukan semuanya ini dan bahwa itu bukan kemauan saya sendiri.
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 Kalau orang-orang itu mati dengan cara biasa, tanpa hukuman apa-apa dari Allah, itulah tandanya TUHAN tidak mengutus saya.
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 Tetapi kalau TUHAN melakukan sesuatu yang belum pernah kamu dengar selama ini, dan kalau tanah terbelah untuk menelan mereka beserta segala milik mereka, sehingga mereka masuk hidup-hidup ke dalam dunia orang mati, tahulah kamu bahwa orang-orang itu melawan TUHAN." (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 Segera sesudah Musa selesai berbicara, tanah di bawah kaki mereka terbelah,
And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet:
32 dan menelan mereka dengan keluarga mereka serta semua pengikut Korah, dan segala harta benda mereka.
And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance.
33 Maka terjerumuslah mereka hidup-hidup ke dalam dunia orang mati dengan segala yang mereka miliki. Tanah yang terbelah itu menutup kembali dan mereka hilang lenyap ditelan bumi. (Sheol h7585)
And they went down alive into hell the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people. (Sheol h7585)
34 Semua orang Israel yang ada di situ melarikan diri ketika mendengar mereka berteriak, "Lari! Nanti kita ditelan bumi!"
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 Lalu TUHAN mendatangkan api yang menghanguskan ke-250 orang yang mempersembahkan dupa itu.
And a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
36 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
37 "Suruhlah Eleazar anak Imam Harun mengangkat tempat-tempat api dari sisa-sisa kebakaran itu dan menghamburkan abu arangnya ke tempat lain, sebab tempat api itu adalah suci. Barang-barang itu ialah persembahan orang-orang yang telah dihukum mati karena dosanya. Barang-barang itu suci karena telah dipersembahkan di hadapan TUHAN, sebab itu harus ditempa menjadi lempeng-lempeng tipis untuk lapisan luar mezbah. Hal itu akan merupakan peringatan bagi bangsa Israel."
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
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 Maka Imam Eleazar mengambil tempat-tempat api itu dan menyuruh orang menempanya menjadi lempeng-lempeng tipis untuk lapisan luar mezbah.
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 Itu merupakan peringatan bagi bangsa Israel bahwa selain keturunan Harun, tidak seorang pun boleh datang ke mezbah untuk membakar dupa bagi TUHAN. Orang yang melanggar peraturan itu akan dibinasakan seperti Korah dan pengikut-pengikutnya. Semuanya itu dilaksanakan seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada Eleazar melalui Musa.
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 Keesokan harinya seluruh umat Israel marah-marah terhadap Musa dan Harun. Mereka berkata, "Kamu sudah membunuh umat TUHAN."
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 Sedang mereka berkumpul melawan Musa dan Harun, mereka menoleh ke Kemah TUHAN, dan melihat awan menutupi Kemah itu, lalu tampaklah cahaya kehadiran TUHAN.
And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
43 Musa dan Harun pergi ke muka Kemah TUHAN,
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 lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
And the Lord said to Moses:
45 "Mundurlah dari orang-orang itu. Aku akan membinasakan mereka di tempat itu juga!" Mereka berdua sujud menyembah,
Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground,
46 lalu Musa berkata kepada Harun, "Ambillah tempat apimu, isilah dengan bara api dari mezbah dan taruh dupa di atasnya. Bawalah cepat kepada umat dan buatlah upacara pengampunan dosa untuk mereka. Cepat! Kemarahan TUHAN sudah berkobar dan wabah sudah mulai."
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 Harun melakukan apa yang dikatakan Musa. Ia lari ke tengah-tengah umat yang sedang berkumpul dan sudah mulai kena wabah. Maka Harun menaruh dupa di atas bara api, dan melakukan upacara penghapusan dosa untuk umat.
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 Wabah itu berhenti, dan Harun ada di antara orang-orang yang masih hidup dan yang sudah mati.
And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.
49 Yang mati pada waktu itu ada 14.700 orang, tidak termasuk mereka yang mati dalam pemberontakan Korah.
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 Setelah wabah itu berhenti, Harun kembali kepada Musa di pintu Kemah TUHAN.
And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over.
