Oekyuk 16
1 Inge Korah wen natul Izhar ke sou lulap lal Kohath in sruf lal Levi, welul Dathan ac Abiram (wen luo natul Eliab) oayapa On (wen natul Peleth) su mwet ke sruf lal Reuben, elos eis
Then, behold, Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and also On the son of Peleth, of the sons of Ruben,
2 luofoko lumngaul mukul, mwet na eteyuk su solla in mwet kol lun mwet Israel, na elos tuyang nu sel Moses.
rose up against Moses, with two hundred fifty others of the sons of Israel, leading men of the assembly, and who, at the time of a council, would be called by name.
3 Elos toeni ye mutal Moses ac Aaron ac fahk nu seltal, “Komtal arulana alukela! Mwet Israel nukewa ma lun LEUM GOD, ac El wi kut nukewa. Na efu komtal ku sifacna oru komtal in fulat liki un mwet lun LEUM GOD?”
And when they had stood against Moses and Aaron, they said: “Let it be sufficient for you that the entire multitude is of holy ones, and that the Lord is among them. Why do you elevate yourselves above the people of the Lord?”
4 Ke Moses el lohng kas inge, el putati nu infohk uh ac pre.
When Moses had heard this, he fell prone on his face.
5 Na el fahk nu sel Korah ac mwet welul uh, “Lututang LEUM GOD El ac fah akkalemye nu sesr lah su kac mwet lal uh. Mwet se ma mutal su El sulela, pa God El ac fah lela in kalukyang nu yorol nu ke loang uh.
And speaking to Korah, and to the entire multitude, he said: “In the morning, the Lord will cause it to be known who belongs to him, and which holy ones he will join to himself. And whomever he will choose, they shall be close to him.
6 Korah ac mwet nukewa in u lom uh, pa inge ma kowos in oru: us pan in neinyuk mulut firir,
Therefore, do this: Each one of you, Korah and all your associates, take your censer,
7 ac lutu, filiya e nu loac ac likiya mwe keng nu fac ye mutun LEUM GOD. Na kut ac fah liye lah su kac sesr pa suleyukla sin LEUM GOD. Kowos mwet Levi pa arulana alukela!”
and drawing fire into it tomorrow, place incense upon it before the Lord. And whomever he will choose, the same shall be holy. You sons of Levi have been raised up greatly.”
8 Na Moses el sifil kaskas nu sel Korah. “Kowos mwet Levi, porongeyu!
And he said again to Korah: “Listen, sons of Levi.
9 Ya kowos nunku mu ma pilasr se suwos tuh LEUM GOD El srikowosla liki mwet Israel nukewa tuh kowos in ku in kalukyang nu yorol in oru ma kunowos in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sel, ac tuyak ye mutun mwet Israel wiowos in kulansupwalos?
Is it a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from all the people, and has joined you to himself, so that you would serve him in the rituals of the tabernacle, and stand before gatherings of the people, and minister to him?
10 El oru tuh kom ac mwet Levi nukewa saya in oru kunokon fulat se inge, a inge kowos srike in eis pac wal lun mwet tol!
Was the reason that he caused you and all your brothers, the sons of Levi, to approach him, so that you would even claim for yourselves the priesthood too,
11 Ke kowos torkaskas lainul Aaron, pwayena lah kom ac mwet wi kom uh tunyuna lain LEUM GOD.”
and so that your entire group would stand against the Lord? For what is Aaron that you should murmur against him?”
12 Na Moses el sapla solal Dathan ac Abiram, a eltal fahk mu, “Kut ac tia fahsrot!
Therefore, Moses sent to call for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, who responded: “We will not come.
13 Mea, tia fal ke kom uskutme liki facl na mut ac kasrup fohk we Egypt, in tuh unikuti inge yen mwesis? Ya kom ac orekma in funmweti kut pac?
Is it a small matter to you, that you have led us away from a land that was flowing with milk and honey, so as to kill us in the desert, unless you could also be a ruler over us?
14 Kalem na lah tiana facl wowo se pa kom uskutme nu we inge, ac wangin pac acn in ima, ku ima in grape, kom se lasr, a inge kom srike in kiapwekut pac. Kut ac tiana fahsrot!”
You have led us, it is true, to a land that flows with streams of milk and honey, and you have given us possession of fields and vineyards. But will you also tear out our eyes? We will not come.”
15 Moses el kasrkusrakak ac fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Nimet kom eis kutena mwe kisa ma mwet inge ac fah use. Wanginna ma nga oru koluk nu selos — finne donkey soko natulos, nga tiana eis.”
And Moses, being very angry, said to the Lord: “Do not look with favor on their sacrifices. You know that I have not accepted from them, at any time, so much as a young donkey, nor have I afflicted any of them.”
16 Moses el fahk nu sel Korah, “Lutu kom, ac mwet luofoko lumngaul ma wi kom an, in tuku nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD. Aaron el ac wi pac muta we.
And he said to Korah: “You and your congregation, stand alone before the Lord, and apart from Aaron, tomorrow.
17 Kais sie suwos fah us pan in neinyuk mulut firir lal, filiya mwe keng fac, na kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD ke loang uh.”
Let each one of you take censers, and place incense in them, offering to the Lord two hundred fifty censers. Let Aaron also hold his censer.”
18 Ouinge mwet nukewa elos us pan in neinyuk mulut lalos, sang mulut firir nu loac ac mwe keng nu fac, ac welul Moses ac Aaron tu ke nien utyak nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
When they had done this, Moses and Aaron stood up,
19 Na Korah el pangoneni mwet Israel nukewa, ac elos tu ngetang nu sel Moses ac Aaron ke nien utyak nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal. In kitin pacl ah, kalem wolana lun LEUM GOD sikyak nu sin mwet nukewa.
and, having crowded the entire multitude close to them at the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.
20 Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron,
And the Lord, speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
21 “Kiluki liki mwet inge, ac nga fah kunauselosla ingena.”
“Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, so that I may suddenly destroy them.”
22 Tusruktu Moses ac Aaron faksufi ac fahk, “O God, moul lun ma nukewa tuku sum me. Mwet sefanna fin oru ma koluk, ya kom ac kasrkusrak sin mwet nukewa in acn sac?”
But they fell prone on their faces, and they said, “O most strong One, the God of the spirits of all flesh, should your anger rage against all, for the sin of one?”
23 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
And the Lord said to Moses:
24 “Fahkang nu sin mwet ingan in kalukla liki lohm nuknuk sel Korah, Dathan, ac Abiram.”
“Instruct the entire people to separate from the tents of Korah, and Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Na Moses, ac mwet kol lun Israel elos tukeni som nu yorol Dathan ac Abiram.
And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram. And the elders of Israel followed him,
26 El fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Kalukot liki lohm nuknuk sin mwet koluk inge, ac nikmet kahlye kutena ma lalos. Kowos fin tia lohng, kowos ac welulos na sikiyukla ke ma koluk nukewa lalos.”
and he said to the crowd, “Withdraw from the tabernacles of these impious men, and touch nothing which pertains to them, lest you become involved in their sins.”
27 Ouinge elos kalukla liki lohm nuknuk sel Korah, Dathan, ac Abiram. Dathan ac Abiram ilme ac tu ke mutunoa in lohm nuknuk selos, wi mutan kialos ac tulik natulos.
And when they had withdrawn from their tents all around, Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance of their pavilions, with their wives and children, and with all their associates.
28 Moses el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Pa inge ma ac akkalemye nu suwos lah LEUM GOD pa supweyume in oru ma inge nukewa, ac nga tia oru ke lungse luk sifacna.
And Moses said: “By this shall you know that the Lord has sent me to do all that you discern, and that I have not brought these things out of my own heart:
29 Mwet inge fin misa ke pacl fal la ac tia ke sripen kalyei sin God me, na kalem lah tia LEUM GOD pa supweyume uh.
If these men pass away by the common death of men, or if they will be visited by a scourge, of a kind by which others are often visited, then the Lord did not send me.
30 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fin orala sie ouiya na sasu, ac infohk uh mangelik ac okomulosla wi ma lalos nukewa, ac elos moul na tili nu in facl lun mwet misa, na kowos fah etu lah mwet inge pilesru LEUM GOD.” (Sheol h7585)
But if the Lord accomplishes something new, so that the earth opens its mouth and swallows them whole, along with everything that belongs to them, and they descend alive into the underworld, then you shall know that they have blasphemed the Lord.” (Sheol h7585)
31 El tufahna fahkla ma inge, na infohk uh srasrelik yal Dathan ac Abiram
Therefore, as soon as he had ceased to speak, the earth broke open under their feet.
32 ac okomulosla wi sou lalos, oayapa mwet nukewa ma welul Korah wi ma lalos nukewa.
And opening its mouth, it devoured them with their tabernacles and their entire substance.
33 Ouinge elos moul na tilla nu in facl lun mwet misa, wi ma lalos nukewa. Na infohk uh folokeni nu faclos, ac elos wanginla. (Sheol h7585)
And they descended alive, the ground closing around them, into the underworld, and they perished from the midst of the multitude. (Sheol h7585)
34 Mwet Israel nukewa ma oasr we elos kaing ke elos lohng pusren tung lalos. Elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Kaing! Faclu ac ukumkuti pac!”
Yet truly, all of Israel, which was standing all around, took flight at the clamor of those who were perishing, saying, “Lest perhaps the earth may swallow us whole also.”
35 Na LEUM GOD El supweya e se ac esukla mwet luofoko lumngaul su kisakin mwe keng uh.
Then, too, a fire, going forth from the Lord, put to death the two hundred fifty men who were offering the incense.
36 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
37 “Fahk nu sel Eleazar wen natul Aaron mwet tol, elan eisla pan in neinyuk mulut, ma orekla ke bronze, liki mwet firiryak misa uh, ac sisalik mulut liki pan uh nu ke sie pacna acn, mweyen pan inge mutal.
“Instruct Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, to take up the censers which lie in the burning, and to scatter the fire to one side and another, because they were sanctified
38 Pan uh tuh akmutalyeyukla ke pacl se utuku nu ke loang lun LEUM GOD. Ke ma inge eis pan lun mwet inge su anwuki ke sripen koluk lalos, ac tuktukya in mininila, ac orala sie mwe afyuf nu ke loang uh kac. Ma inge ac fah mwe akul nu sin mwet Israel.”
in the deaths of these sinners. And let him form them into plates, and affix them to the altar, because incense had been offered in them to the Lord, and they were sanctified, and so that the sons of Israel may discern in them a sign and a memorial.”
39 Ouinge Eleazar mwet tol el orani pan uh ac sap tuktuki nwe ke mininila in orala sie mwe afyuf nu ke loang uh.
Therefore, Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, by which those whom the burning devoured had made an offering, and he formed them into plates, affixing them to the altar,
40 Ma se inge mwe sensenkakin mwet Israel lah wangin kutena mwet sayen mwet ke fwilin tulik natul Aaron fah kalukyang nu ke loang uh in akosak mwe keng nu sin LEUM GOD. Mwet se fin tia akos, na ac anwuki el oana Korah ac mwet lal. Ma inge nukewa orekla oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Eleazar sel Moses.
so that the sons of Israel would have, thereafter, something to admonish them, lest any stranger, or anyone who is not of the offspring of Aaron, might approach to offer incense to the Lord, and lest he endure what happened to Korah, and to all his congregation, when the Lord spoke to Moses.
41 Len tok ah mwet Israel nukewa torkaskas lainul Moses ac Aaron ac fahk, “Komtal uniya kutu sin mwet lun LEUM GOD.”
Then, the following day, the entire multitude of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: “You have put to death the people of the Lord.”
42 Tukun mwet uh tukeni in lainul Moses ac Aaron, eltal ngetla nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac liye lah pukunyeng sac afunla Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, ac kalem wolana lun LEUM GOD sikyak pac we.
And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
43 Moses ac Aaron som ac tu mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal,
Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. But after they had entered it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
44 ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
And the Lord said to Moses:
45 “Kaluki liki mwet inge, ac nga fah kunauselosla in acn se na elos tu we an!” Eltal tukeni faksufi,
“Withdraw from the midst of this multitude, and I will destroy them immediately.” And while they were lying on the ground,
46 na Moses el fahk nu sel Aaron, “Us pan in neinyuk e lom an, sang kutu mulut firir liki loang uh nu loac, ac sang kutu mwe keng nu fin mulut uh, na sulaklak usla nu yurin mwet uh ac oru alu in aknasnas kaclos. Aksaye! Kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD tayak tari, ac sie mas na upa mutawauk pac tari.”
Moses said to Aaron: “Take the censer, and draw fire into it from the altar; place incense upon it, and continue on, quickly, to the people, to pray for them. For already wrath has gone forth from the Lord, and the scourge rages.”
47 Aaron el akos. El eis pan in e lal ac kasrla nu inmasrlon mwet uh. Ke el liye lah mas keok sac mutawauk tari, el sang mwe keng nu fin mulut uh ac oru alu in aknasnas ke mwet uh.
When Aaron had done this, and he had run into the midst of the multitude, which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense.
48 Ma inge tulokinya mas keok sac, ac el mukena tu inmasrlon mwet moul ac mwet misa.
And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the scourge ceased.
49 Pisen mwet ma misa uh oasr ke mwet singoul akosr tausin itfoko, tia oaoa elos su misa ke pacl in tunyuna lal Korah.
But the number of those who were struck down was fourteen thousand men, and seven hundred, aside from those who had perished in the sedition of Korah.
50 Ke pacl se mas keok sac tui, Aaron el folokla nu yorol Moses nu ke mutunoa lun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
And Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, after the destruction quieted.
