Bilangan 16
1 Korah bin Yizhar bin Kehat bin Lewi, beserta Datan dan Abiram, anak-anak Eliab, dan On bin Pelet, ketiganya orang Ruben, mengajak orang-orang
One day Korah, who was the son of Izhar and a descendant of Levi’s son Kohath, conspired with Dathan and Abiram, who were the sons of Eliab, and On, who was the son of Peleth. Those three men were from the tribe of Reuben.
2 untuk memberontak melawan Musa, beserta dua ratus lima puluh orang Israel, pemimpin-pemimpin umat itu, yaitu orang-orang yang dipilih oleh rapat, semuanya orang-orang yang kenamaan.
Korah and those other three men incited 250 other people who were leaders among the Israeli people to join them in rebelling against Moses/me.
3 Maka mereka berkumpul mengerumuni Musa dan Harun, serta berkata kepada keduanya: "Sekarang cukuplah itu! Segenap umat itu adalah orang-orang kudus, dan TUHAN ada di tengah-tengah mereka. Mengapakah kamu meninggi-ninggikan diri di atas jemaah TUHAN?"
They came together to criticize Aaron and Moses/me. They said to them/us, “You two are using more [authority] than you should! Yahweh has set apart all of us Israeli people, and he is with/helping all of us. So why do you act as though you are more important than the rest of us people who belong to Yahweh [RHQ]?”
4 Ketika Musa mendengar hal itu, sujudlah ia.
When Moses/I heard what they were saying, he/I prostrated himself/myself on the ground.
5 Dan ia berkata kepada Korah dan segenap kumpulannya: "Besok pagi TUHAN akan memberitahukan, siapa kepunyaan-Nya, dan siapa yang kudus, dan Ia akan memperbolehkan orang itu mendekat kepada-Nya; orang yang akan dipilih-Nya akan diperbolehkan-Nya mendekat kepada-Nya.
Then he/I said to Korah and those [Israeli leaders] who were with Korah, “Tomorrow morning Yahweh will show us whom he has chosen to be his [priest], and who is holy and allowed to come near to him. Yahweh will permit [only] those whom he chooses to come into his presence.
6 Perbuatlah begini: ambillah perbaraan-perbaraan, hai Korah, dan kamu segenap kumpulannya,
So Korah, tomorrow you and those who are with you must prepare your pans to burn incense.
7 bubuhlah api ke dalamnya dan taruhlah ukupan di atasnya, di hadapan TUHAN pada esok hari, dan orang yang akan dipilih TUHAN, dialah yang kudus. Cukuplah itu, hai orang-orang Lewi!"
Then you must light a fire in them and burn the incense in the presence of Yahweh. Then we will see which one of us Yahweh has chosen to be his holy servant. It is you men who are descendants of Levi who are trying to use more [authority] than you should!”
8 Lalu berkatalah Musa kepada Korah: "Cobalah dengar, hai orang-orang Lewi!
Then Moses/I spoke again to Korah. He/I said, “You men who are descendants of Levi, listen to me!
9 Belum cukupkah bagimu, bahwa kamu dipisahkan oleh Allah Israel dari umat Israel dan diperbolehkan mendekat kepada-Nya, supaya kamu melakukan pekerjaan pada Kemah Suci TUHAN dan bertugas bagi umat itu untuk melayani mereka,
The God of us Israelis has chosen all of you to be close to him in order that you can work for him at his Sacred Tent and serve the people. (Is that unimportant/Does that mean nothing) to you [RHQ]?
10 dan bahwa engkau diperbolehkan mendekat bersama-sama dengan semua saudaramu bani Lewi? Dan sekarang mau pula kamu menuntut pangkat imam lagi?
Yahweh has brought you, [Korah], and your fellow descendants of Levi, near to himself. Now are you demanding to become priests also?
11 Sebab itu, engkau ini dengan segenap kumpulanmu, kamu bersepakat melawan TUHAN. Karena siapakah Harun, sehingga kamu bersungut-sungut kepadanya?"
It is really Yahweh against whom you and your fellow descendants of Levi are rebelling. Aaron is not the one about whom you are really complaining [RHQ].”
12 Adapun Musa telah menyuruh orang untuk memanggil Datan dan Abiram, anak-anak Eliab, tetapi jawab mereka: "Kami tidak mau datang.
Then Moses/I summoned Dathan and Abiram, but [they refused to come]. They [sent a message] saying, “We will not come to you!
13 Belum cukupkah, bahwa engkau memimpin kami keluar dari suatu negeri yang berlimpah-limpah susu dan madunya untuk membiarkan kami mati di padang gurun, sehingga masih juga engkau menjadikan dirimu tuan atas kami?
You brought us out of Egypt, which was a very fertile [IDM] land, in order to cause us to die here in this desert. That was bad. But now you are also trying to boss us [RHQ], and that is worse.
14 Sungguh, engkau tidak membawa kami ke negeri yang berlimpah-limpah susu dan madunya, ataupun memberikan kepada kami ladang-ladang dan kebun-kebun anggur sebagai milik pusaka. Masakan engkau dapat mengelabui mata orang-orang ini? Kami tidak mau datang."
You have not given us a new land to live in, a land that has good fields and vineyards. You are only trying to [RHQ] trick these people. So we will not come to you.”
15 Lalu sangat marahlah Musa dan ia berkata kepada TUHAN: "Janganlah perhatikan segala persembahan mereka. Belum pernah kuambil satu ekor keledaipun dari mereka, dan belum pernah kulakukan yang jahat kepada seseorangpun dari mereka."
Then Moses/I became very angry. He/I said to Yahweh, “Do not accept the grain offerings that they have brought. I have not taken anything from them, not even one donkey, and I have never done anything wrong to them, [so they have no reason to complain about me].”
16 Lalu berkatalah Musa kepada Korah: "Engkau ini dengan segenap kumpulanmu harus menghadap TUHAN, engkau dan mereka dan Harun, pada esok hari.
Then Moses/I said to Korah, “You and all those who are with you must come here tomorrow and stand in front of Yahweh. Aaron will also be here.
17 Baiklah kamu masing-masing membawa perbaraannya membubuh ukupan di atasnya, lalu kamu mempersembahkan masing-masing perbaraannya ke hadapan TUHAN, dua ratus lima puluh perbaraan; juga engkau ini dan Harun masing-masing harus membawa perbaraannya."
You and all the 250 men who are with you must each take a pan in which to burn incense, and put incense in it, to [burn it to be] an offering to Yahweh. Aaron will do the same thing.”
18 Maka mereka masing-masing membawa perbaraannya, membubuh api ke dalamnya, menaruh ukupan di atasnya, lalu berdirilah mereka di depan pintu Kemah Pertemuan, juga Musa dan Harun.
So [the next day] each of those men got a pan to burn incense. They put in it incense and hot coals to light it, and then they all stood at the entrance of the Sacred Tent with Aaron and Moses/me.
19 Ketika Korah mengumpulkan segenap umat itu melawan mereka berdua di depan pintu Kemah Pertemuan, tampaklah kemuliaan TUHAN kepada segenap umat itu.
Then Korah summoned all the people who supported him and who were against Moses/me, and they also gathered at the entrance of the tent. Then the glory of Yahweh appeared to all of them/us,
20 Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa dan Harun:
and Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
21 "Pisahkanlah dirimu dari tengah-tengah umat ini, supaya Kuhancurkan mereka dalam sekejap mata."
“Get away from all these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately!”
22 Tetapi sujudlah mereka berdua dan berkata: "Ya Allah, Allah dari roh segala makhluk! Satu orang saja berdosa, masakan Engkau murka terhadap segenap perkumpulan ini?"
But Aaron and Moses/I prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground. We pleaded with Yahweh, saying, “God, you are the one who caused all these people to live [MTY]. Only one of these men has sinned; so, (is it right for you to be angry with all the people?/it is not right for you to be angry with all the people!) [RHQ]”
23 Maka berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
24 "Katakanlah kepada umat itu: Pergilah dari sekeliling tempat kediaman Korah, Datan dan Abiram."
“[Okay], but tell all the people to get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Lalu pergilah Musa kepada Datan dan Abiram, dan para tua-tua Israel mengikuti dia.
So Moses/I stood up and went to the tents of Dathan and Abiram. The Israeli leaders followed him/me.
26 Berkatalah ia kepada umat itu: "Baiklah kamu menjauh dari kemah orang-orang fasik ini dan janganlah kamu kena kepada sesuatu apapun dari kepunyaan mereka, supaya kamu jangan mati lenyap oleh karena segala dosa mereka."
He/I told the people, “Get away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything that belongs to them! If you touch anything, you will die because of their sins!”
27 Maka pergilah mereka dari sekeliling tempat kediaman Korah, Datan dan Abiram. Keluarlah Datan dan Abiram, lalu berdiri di depan pintu kemah mereka bersama-sama dengan isterinya, para anaknya dan anak-anak yang kecil.
So all the people moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram came out of their tents with their wives and children and babies, and stood at the entrances of their tents.
28 Sesudah itu berkatalah Musa: "Dari hal inilah kamu akan tahu, bahwa aku diutus TUHAN untuk melakukan segala perbuatan ini, dan hal itu bukanlah dari hatiku sendiri:
Then Moses/I said, “I was not the one who decided to do all these things that I have done. It was Yahweh who [chose me and] sent me to do them. And now he will prove that to you.
29 jika orang-orang ini nanti mati seperti matinya setiap manusia, dan mereka mengalami yang dialami setiap manusia, maka aku tidak diutus TUHAN.
If these men die in a normal way, then it will be clear that Yahweh did not choose me.
30 Tetapi, jika TUHAN akan menjadikan sesuatu yang belum pernah terjadi, dan tanah mengangakan mulutnya dan menelan mereka beserta segala kepunyaan mereka, sehingga mereka hidup-hidup turun ke dunia orang mati, maka kamu akan tahu, bahwa orang-orang ini telah menista TUHAN." (Sheol h7585)
But if Yahweh does something that has never happened before, if he causes the ground [that is under their feet] to open up and swallow these men [and their families] and all their possessions, and they fall into the opening and are buried while they are still alive, then you will know that these men have insulted Yahweh.” (Sheol h7585)
31 Baru saja ia selesai mengucapkan segala perkataan itu, maka terbelahlah tanah yang di bawah mereka,
As soon as Moses/I said this, the ground split open beneath those men.
32 dan bumi membuka mulutnya dan menelan mereka dengan seisi rumahnya dan dengan semua orang yang ada pada Korah dan dengan segala harta milik mereka.
It swallowed them and their families and all those who were standing there with Korah and all of their possessions.
33 Demikianlah mereka dengan semua orang yang ada pada mereka turun hidup-hidup ke dunia orang mati; dan bumi menutupi mereka, sehingga mereka binasa dari tengah-tengah jemaah itu. (Sheol h7585)
They fell into the opening in the ground while they were still alive, and all their possessions fell into the opening also. They disappeared, and the ground closed back up again. (Sheol h7585)
34 Dan semua orang Israel yang di sekeliling mereka berlarian mendengar teriak mereka, sebab kata mereka: "Jangan-jangan bumi menelan kita juga!"
They screamed as they fell, and all the people who were standing nearby heard them scream. The people [were terrified and] cried out as they ran away, saying, “[We do not want] the ground to swallow us also!”
35 Lagi keluarlah api, berasal dari pada TUHAN, lalu memakan habis kedua ratus lima puluh orang yang mempersembahkan ukupan itu.
And then a fire from Yahweh came down [from the sky] and burned up the 250 men who were burning the incense!
36 TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
37 "Katakanlah kepada Eleazar, anak imam Harun, supaya ia mengangkat perbaraan-perbaraan dari antara kebakaran itu, lalu hamburkanlah api itu jauh-jauh, karena semuanya itu kudus,
“Tell Aaron’s son Eleazar to take the pans that had incense in them away from the fire and to scatter the burning coals. The pans that those men [were carrying] are (holy/dedicated to me) [because they burned incense to me in them].
38 yakni perbaraan orang-orang berdosa yang telah membayarkan nyawanya, kemudian semuanya itu harus ditempa tipis-tipis menjadi salut mezbah, sebab telah dibawa ke hadapan TUHAN oleh orang-orang itu, jadi semuanya itu kudus; dengan demikian hal itu menjadi tanda bagi orang Israel."
Those men have now died because of their sin; so [Eleazar must] take their pans and hammer the metal to make it become very thin. He must make a covering for the altar with that metal. Those pans were used to offer incense to me, so they are (holy/dedicated to me). [What happened to] those pans will now warn the Israeli people.”
39 Maka imam Eleazar mengambil perbaraan-perbaraan tembaga yang telah dibawa oleh orang-orang yang terbakar itu, lalu ditempa menjadi salut mezbah.
So Eleazar the priest collected the 250 pans for burning incense that had been used by the men who died in the fire. He hammered the pans very thin to make a covering for the altar, as Yahweh told Moses/me should be done.
40 Itu menjadi suatu peringatan bagi orang Israel, supaya jangan tampil orang awam yang bukan dari keturunan Harun untuk membakar ukupan di hadapan TUHAN, dan jangan ia menjadi seperti Korah dan kumpulannya--seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN kepadanya dengan perantaraan Musa.
That warned the Israeli people that only those who were descendants of Aaron were permitted to burn incense for an offering to Yahweh. If anyone else did that, the same thing that happened to Korah and those who were with him would happen to them.
41 Tetapi pada keesokan harinya bersungut-sungutlah segenap umat Israel kepada Musa dan Harun, kata mereka: "Kamu telah membunuh umat TUHAN."
But the following morning, all the Israeli people started to complain against Aaron and Moses/me, saying “You have killed many people who belonged to Yahweh!”
42 Ketika umat itu berkumpul melawan Musa dan Harun, dan mereka memalingkan mukanya ke arah Kemah Pertemuan, maka kelihatanlah awan itu menutupinya dan tampaklah kemuliaan TUHAN.
When all the people gathered together to protest about what Aaron and Moses/I had done, they looked at the Sacred Tent and saw that the sacred cloud had covered it, and the glory of Yahweh had appeared.
43 Lalu pergilah Musa dan Harun ke depan Kemah Pertemuan.
Aaron and Moses/I went and stood in front of the Sacred Tent.
44 Maka berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
45 "Pergilah dari tengah-tengah umat ini, supaya Kuhancurkan mereka dalam sekejap mata." Lalu sujudlah mereka.
“Get away from these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately [without injuring you two]!” But Aaron and Moses/I prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground [and prayed].
46 Berkatalah Musa kepada Harun: "Ambillah perbaraan, bubuhlah api ke dalamnya dari atas mezbah, dan taruhlah ukupan, dan pergilah dengan segera kepada umat itu dan adakanlah pendamaian bagi mereka, sebab murka TUHAN telah berkobar, dan tulah sedang mulai."
Moses/I said to Aaron, “Quickly take another pan and put in it some burning/hot coals from the altar. Put incense in the pan, and carry it out among the people to atone for the sins of the people. Yahweh is very angry with them, and [I know that] a (severe plague/bad sickness) has already started among them.”
47 Maka Harun mengambil perbaraan, seperti yang dikatakan Musa, dan berlarilah ia ke tengah-tengah jemaah itu, dan tampaklah tulah telah mulai di antara bangsa itu; lalu dibubuhnyalah ukupan dan diadakannyalah pendamaian bagi bangsa itu.
So Aaron did what Moses/I told him. He took the burning incense out among the people. The plague had already started to strike the people, but Aaron continued to burn the incense so that God would forgive them for the sins they had committed.
48 Ketika ia berdiri di antara orang-orang mati dan orang-orang hidup, berhentilah tulah itu.
He stood between the people who had already died and those who were still alive, and then the plague stopped.
49 Dan mereka yang mati kena tulah itu ada empat belas ribu tujuh ratus orang banyaknya, belum terhitung orang-orang yang mati karena perkara Korah.
But 14,700 people had already died from that plague/sickness, in addition to the people who died with Korah.
50 Ketika Harun kembali kepada Musa di depan pintu Kemah Pertemuan, tulah itu telah berhenti.
Then after the plague had ended, Aaron and Moses/I returned to the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
