民数記 16
1 茲にレビの子コハテの子イヅハルの子なるコラおよびルベンの子等なるエリアブの子ダタンとアビラム並にペレテの子オン等相結び
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 イスラエルの子孫の會衆の中に選まれて牧伯となれるところの名ある人々二百五十人とともに起てモーセに逆らふ
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 すなはち彼等集りてモーセとアロンに逆ひ之に言けるは汝らはその分を超ゆ會衆みな盡く聖者となりてヱホバその中に在すなるに汝ら尚ヱホバの會衆の上に立つや
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 モーセこれを聞て俯伏たりしが
When Moses heard this, he fell flat on his face:
5 やがてコラとその一切の黨類に言けるは明日ヱホバ己の所屬は誰聖者は誰なるかを示して其者を己に近かせたまはん即ちその選びたまへる者を己に近かせたまふべし
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 汝等かく爲よコラとその黨類よ汝等みな火盤を取り
Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company.
7 その中に火をいれその中に香を盛て明日ヱホバの前に至れその時ヱホバの選みたまふ人は聖者たるべしレビの人々よ汝等はその分を超るなり
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 モーセまたコラに言けるは汝等レビの子等よ請ふ聽け
And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi.
9 イスラエルの神汝らをイスラエルの會衆の中より分ち己に近かせてヱホバの幕屋の役事を爲しめ會衆の前に立て之にかはりて勤務をなさしめたまふ是あに汝らにとりて小き事ならんや
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 神すでに汝と汝の兄弟なるレビの兒孫等を己に近かせたまふに汝らまた祭司とならんことをも求むるや
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 汝と汝の黨類は皆これがために集りてヱホバに敵するなりアロンを如何なる者として汝等これに對ひて呟くや
And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?
12 かくてモーセ、エリアブの子ダタンとアビラムを呼に遣はしけるに彼等いひけるは我等は上り往じ
Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.
13 汝は乳と蜜との流るる地より我らを導き出して曠野に我らを殺さんとす是あに小き事ならんや然るに汝また我等の上に君たらんとす
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 且また汝は我らを乳と蜜との流るる地にも導きゆかずまた田畝をも葡萄園をも我らに與へて有たしめず汝この人々の目を抉りとらんとするや我等は上りゆかじ
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 是においてモーセおほいに怒りヱホバに申しけるは汝かれらの禮物を顧みたまふ勿れ我はかれらより驢馬一匹をも取しことなくまた彼等を一人も害せしこと無し
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 斯てモーセ、コラに言けるは汝と汝の黨類みなアロンと偕に明日ヱホバの前に至れ
And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord tomorrow, and Aaron apart.
17 即ち汝らおのおの火盤を執てその中に香を盛り各人その火盤をヱホバの前に携へいたれその火祭は都合二百五十汝とアロンも各々その火盤を携へいたるべしと
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 彼等すなはち各々火盤を執り火をその中にいれて香をその上に盛りモーセおよびアロンとともに集會の幕屋の門に立り
When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing,
19 コラ會衆をことごとく集會の幕屋の門に集めおきてかれら二人に敵せしめんとせしにヱホバの榮光全會衆に顯れ
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 ヱホバ、モーセとアロンに告て言たまひけるは
And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
21 汝等この會衆を離れよ我これを直に滅さんとすと
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them.
22 是においてかれら二人俯伏て言ふ神よ一切の血肉ある者の生命の神よこの一人の者罪を犯したればとて汝全會衆にむかひて怒を發したまふや
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 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
And the Lord said to Moses:
24 汝會衆にむかひてコラとダタンとアビラムの居所の周圍を去れと言へと
Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron.
25 モーセすなはち起あがりてダタンとアビラムの所に往けるがイスラエルの長老等これに從がひいたれり
And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following him,
26 而してモーセ會衆に告て言けるは汝らこの惡き人々の天幕を離れて去れ彼等の物には何にも捫る勿れ恐くは彼らの諸の罪のために汝らも滅ぼされん
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 是において人々はコラとダタンとアビラムの居所を離れて四方に去ゆけりまたダタンとアビラムはその妻子ならびに幼兒とともに出てその天幕の門に立り
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 モーセやがて言けるは汝等ヱホバがこの諸の事をなさせんとて我を遣したまへる事また我がこれを自分の心にしたがひて行ふにあらざる事を是によりて知べし
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 すなはちこの人々もし一般の人の死るごとくに死に一般の人の罰せらるる如くに罰せられなばヱホバわれを遣したまはざるなり
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.
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 モーセこの一切の言をのべ終れる時かれらの下なる土裂け
And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet:
32 地その口を開きてかれらとその家族の者ならびにコラに屬する一切の男等と一切の所有品を呑つくせり
And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance.
And they went down alive into hell the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people. (Sheol h7585)
34 その周圍に居たるイスラエル人は皆かれらの叫喊を聞て逃はしり恐くは地われらをも呑つくさんと言り
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 且またヱホバの許より火いでてかの香をそなへたる者二百五十人を燒つくせり
And a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
36 時にヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
37 汝祭司アロンの子エレアザルに告てその燃る火の中より彼の火盤を取いださしめその中の火を遠方に傾すてよその火盤は聖なりたればなり
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 而してその罪を犯して生命を喪へる者等の火盤は之を濶き展版となして祭壇を包むに用ひよ彼等ヱホバの前にそなへしに因て是は聖なりたればなり斯是はイスラエルの子孫に徴と爲べし
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 是において祭司エンアザル彼の燒死されし者等が用ひてそなへたる銅の火盤を取いだしければ之を濶く打展し之をもて祭壇を包み
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 之をイスラエルの子孫の記念の物と爲り是はアロンの子孫たらざる外人が近りてヱホバの前に香を焚こと無らんため亦かかる人ありてコラとその黨類のごとくにならざらん爲なり是みなヱホバがモーセをもて彼にのたまひし所に依るなり
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 その翌日イスラエルの子孫の會衆みなモーセとアロンにむかひて呟き汝等はヱホバの民を殺せりと言り
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 會衆集りてモーセとアロンに敵する時集會の幕屋を望み觀に雲ありてこれを覆ひヱホバの榮光顯れをる
And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
43 時にモーセとアロン集會の幕屋の前にいたりけるに
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 ヱホバ、モーせに言たまひけるは
And the Lord said to Moses:
45 汝らこの會衆をはなれて去れ我直にこれをほろぼさんとすと是において彼等二人は俯伏ぬ
Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground,
46 斯てモーセ、アロンに言けるは汝火盤を執り壇の火を之にいれ香をその上に盛て速かにこれを會衆の中に持ゆき之がために贖罪を爲せ其はヱホバ震怒を發したまひて疫病すでに始りたればなりと
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 アロンすなはちモーセの命ぜしごとくに之を執て會衆の中に奔ゆきけるに疫病すでに民の中に始まり居たれば香を焚て民のために贖罪を爲し
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 旣に死る者と尚生る者との間に立ければ疫病止まれり
And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.
49 コラの事によりて死たる者の外この疫病に死たる者は一萬四千七百人なりき
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 而してアロンはモーセの許にかへり集會の幕屋の門にいたれり疫病は斯やみぬ
And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over.
