1 Molevi Kore, mwana mobali ya Yitseari, ya libota ya bato ya Keati, elongo na bato misato ya libota ya bato ya Ribeni basalelaki Moyize likita; ezalaki: Datani mpe Abirami, bana mibali ya Eliabi, elongo na Oni, mwana mobali ya Peleti.
Nowe Korah the sonne of Izhar, the sonne of Kohath, the sonne of Leui went apart with Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab, and On the sonne of Peleth, the sonnes of Reuben:
2 Batombokelaki Moyize. Elongo na bango, ezalaki na bana ya Isalaele nkama mibale na tuku mitano oyo bayebanaki malamu lokola bakambi ya lisanga mpe bazalaki kosangana kati na mayangani ya bakambi ya lisanga.
And they rose vp against Moses, with certaine of the children of Israel, two hundreth and fiftie captaines of the assemblie, famous in the Congregation, and men of renoume,
3 Bayaki lisanga mpo na kotelemela Moyize mpe Aron. Balobaki na bango: — Bino mpe bolekisi! Lingomba mobimba ezali bule mpe moto nyonso kati na yango azali bule, mpe Yawe azali elongo na bango. Boye, mpo na nini bozali komitia likolo ya lisanga ya Yawe?
Who gathered themselues together against Moses, and against Aaron, and sayde vnto them, Ye take too much vpon you, seeing all the Congregation is holie, euery one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherfore then lift ye your selues aboue the Congregation of the Lord?
4 Tango Moyize ayokaki bongo, akweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
But when Moses heard it, hee fell vpon his face,
5 Alobaki na Kore mpe na bato na ye nyonso oyo balandaki ye: — Lobi na tongo, Yawe akolakisa nani azali moto na Ye mpe nani oyo azali bule, mpe akotika ye kopusana pene na Ye; akotika solo moponami na Ye kopusana pene na Ye.
And spake to Korah and vnto all his companie, saying, To morow the Lord will shew who is his, and who is holy, and who ought to approche neere vnto him: and whom he hath chosen, hee will cause to come neere to him.
6 Yo, Kore, elongo na bato nyonso oyo bazali kolanda yo, bokosala likambo oyo: Bokamata bambabola oyo batumbelaka malasi
This doe therefore, Take you censers, both Korah, and all his companie,
7 mpe, lobi, botia moto mpe malasi ya ansa kati na yango liboso ya Yawe. Moto oyo Yawe akopona, ye nde azali bule. Bino Balevi, bino mpe bolekisi!
And put fire therein, and put incense in the before the Lord to morowe: and the man whome the Lord doeth chuse, the same shalbe holie: ye take too much vpon you, ye sonnes of Leui.
8 Moyize alobaki lisusu na Kore: — Bino Balevi, boyoka sik’oyo!
Againe Moses saide vnto Korah, Heare, I pray you, ye sonnes of Leui.
9 Ekoki na bino te ete Nzambe ya Isalaele atia bino pembeni kati na lisanga ya Isalaele mpe abenda bino pembeni na Ye mpo na kosala mosala na Mongombo ya Yawe mpe kotelema liboso ya lisanga mpo na kosalela bango?
Seemeth it a small thing vnto you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel, to take you neere to himselfe, to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the Congregation and to minister vnto them?
10 Abendaki bino pembeni na Ye elongo na Balevi nyonso oyo bazali kolanda bino; kasi sik’oyo, bazali lisusu koluka kozwa bonganga-Nzambe!
He hath also taken thee to him, and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with thee, and seeke ye the office of the Priest also?
11 Ezali Yawe nde bosalelaki likita, yo elongo na bato oyo bazali kolanda yo. Aron nde nani mpo ete bokoka koyimayima na tina na ye?
For which cause, thou, and all thy companie are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmure against him?
12 Mpe na sima, Moyize abengisaki Datani mpe Abirami, bana mibali ya Eliabi. Kasi bazongisaki: — Tokoya te!
And Moses sent to call Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab: who answered, We will not come vp.
13 Ekoki kaka te mpo na yo kobimisa biso na mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi, mpo na koya kobomisa biso kati na esobe? Sik’oyo olingi lisusu kokoma mokonzi na biso?
Is it a small thing that thou hast brought vs out of a lande that floweth with milke and honie, to kill vs in the wildernesse, except thou make thy selfe lord and ruler ouer vs also?
14 Te, okotisi biso kutu te na mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi to opesi biso ata libula moko te ya bilanga to ya bilanga ya vino. Boni, okanisi ete bato oyo bakufa miso? Te, tokoya te!
Also thou hast not brought vs vnto a land that floweth with milke and honie, neither giuen vs inheritance of fieldes and vineyardes: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come vp.
15 Moyize asilikaki makasi mpe alobaki na Yawe: — Kondima makabo na bango te. Nazwaki ata eloko moko te epai na bango, ezala ane; mpe nasalaki ata moto moko te mabe kati na bango.
Then Moses waxed verie angry, and saide vnto the Lord, Looke not vnto their offring: I haue not taken so much as an asse from them, neither haue I hurt any of them.
16 Moyize alobaki na Kore: — Lobi, yo mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali kolanda yo, bokotelema elongo na Aron liboso ya Yawe.
And Moses said vnto Korah, Bee thou and al thy companie before the Lord: both thou, they, and Aaron to morowe:
17 Moko na moko akokamata mbabola na ye, oyo batumbelaka malasi, bongo akotia malasi ya ansa kati na yango mpe akomema yango liboso ya Yawe. Bambabola nyonso ekozala nkama mibale na tuku mitano; yo mpe elongo na Aron bokomema bambabola na bino.
And take euery man his censor, and put incense in them, and bring ye euery man his censor before the Lord, two hundreth and fiftie censors: thou also and Aaron, euery one his censor.
18 Moto na moto akamataki mbabola na ye, atiaki moto mpe malasi ya ansa kati na yango; bongo atelemaki esika moko na Moyize mpe Aron, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
So they tooke euery man his censor, and put fire in them, and laide incense thereon, and stoode in the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation with Moses and Aaron.
19 Tango Kore asangisaki bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kolanda ye mpo na kotelemela Moyize mpe Aron, na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, nkembo ya Yawe ebimelaki lisanga mobimba,
And Korah gathered all the multitude against them vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: then the glorie of the Lord appeared vnto all the Congregation.
20 mpe Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
And the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
21 — Bokabwana na lisanga ya bato oyo mpo ete nalingi kosilisa bango kaka na mbala moko.
Separate your selues from among this Cogregation, that I may consume them at once.
22 Kasi Moyize mpe Aron bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele mpe bagangaki: — Eh Nzambe ya milimo nyonso ya bato! Okosilikela lisanga mobimba likolo ya lisumu ya moto moko kaka?
And they fell vpon their faces and saide, O God the God of the spirits, of all fleshe, hath not one man onely sinned, and wilt thou bee wroth with all the Congregation?
23 Bongo, Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
24 — Loba na lisanga ete bakende mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya Kore, ya Datani mpe ya Abirami.
Speake vnto the Congregation and say, Get you away from about the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.
25 Moyize atelemaki mpe akendeki epai ya Datani mpe Abirami; mpe bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele balandaki ye.
Then Moses rose vp, and went vnto Dathan and Abiram, and the Elders of Israel followed him.
26 Akebisaki lisanga mobimba: « Bozala mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya bato oyo ya mabe. Bosimba ata eloko moko te ya bango, noki te bokokufa likolo ya masumu na bango! »
And he spake vnto the Congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tentes of these wicked men, and touche nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sinnes.
27 Boye bakendeki mosika ya bandako ya kapo ya Kore, ya Datani mpe ya Abirami. Datani mpe Abirami elongo na basi, bana mpe bakoko na bango babimaki libanda mpe bakendeki kotelema liboso ya bikotelo ya bandako na bango ya kapo.
So they gate them away from the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram on euerie side: and Dathan, and Abiram came out and stood in the doore of their tentes with their wiues, and their sonnes, and their little children.
28 Bongo Moyize alobaki: « Tala ndenge nini bokoyeba solo ete Yawe atindaki ngai kosala makambo oyo nyonso, kasi ezali makanisi ya motema na ngai moko te:
And Moses saide, Hereby yee shall knowe that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works: for I haue not done them of mine owne minde.
29 Soki bato oyo bakufi kufa ya bato nyonso mpe bamoni makambo oyo bato nyonso bamonaka, wana nde Yawe atindaki ngai te!
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men, the Lord hath not sent me.
30 Kasi soki Yawe asali penza likambo moko ya sika, bongo mabele efungoli monoko na yango mpe emeli bango elongo na biloko na bango nyonso, mpe bakiti ya bomoi kati na mokili ya bakufi, wana nde bokoyeba solo ete bato oyo batiolaki Yawe. » (Sheol h7585)
But if the Lord make a newe thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallowe them vp with all that they haue, and they goe downe quicke into ye pit, then ye shall vnderstand that these men haue prouoked the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
31 Tango kaka asilisaki koloba makambo oyo nyonso, mabele efungwamaki na se ya matambe ya Datani mpe Abirami;
And assoone as he had made an ende of speaking all these wordes, euen the ground claue asunder that was vnder them,
32 efungolaki monoko na yango mpe emelaki bango elongo na mabota na bango, bato ya Kore nyonso elongo na bozwi na bango nyonso.
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them vp, with their families, and all the men that were with Korah, and all their goods.
33 Bakitaki ya bomoi kati na mokili ya bakufi elongo na biloko na bango nyonso, mabele ezipaki bango mpe bakufaki ndenge wana. Mpe balimwaki kati na lisanga. (Sheol h7585)
So they and all that they had, went down aliue into the pit, and the earth couered them: so they perished from among the Congregation. (Sheol h7585)
34 Bato nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki pembeni na bango bakimaki tango bayokaki bango koganga. Bazalaki komilobela: « Mabele ekomela biso mpe lokola! »
And all Israel that were about them, fled at the crie of them: for they said, Let vs flee, least the earth swalow vs vp.
35 Moto ewutaki epai na Yawe mpe etumbaki bato nkama mibale na tuku mitano oyo bazalaki kobonza malasi ya ansa.
But there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundreth and fiftie men that offred the incense.
36 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
37 « Loba na Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron, ete balongola bambabola oyo batumbelaka malasi na kati-kati ya moto, mpe bapanza makala ya moto mosika, pamba te bambabola wana ezali bule.
Speake vnto Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest, that he take vp the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire beyond the altar: for they are halowed,
38 Tika ete bakamata bambabola yango, atako ezali ya bato oyo bakufaki likolo ya masumu na bango; mpe tika ete batuta yango na marto mpo ete ekoma papala mpe batia yango likolo ya etumbelo, pamba te bamemaki yango liboso ya Yawe mpe ekomaki bule. Tika ete yango ekoma elembo mpo na bana ya Isalaele. »
The censers, I say, of these sinners, that destroyed themselues: and let them make of them broade plates for a couering of the Altar: for they offered them before the Lord, therefore they shalbe holy, and they shall be a signe vnto the children of Israel.
39 Boye, Nganga-Nzambe Eleazari alokotaki bambabola nyonso ya bronze oyo bato oyo bazikaki na moto bamemaki, mpe atutaki yango na marto mpo na kotia yango likolo ya etumbelo;
Then Eleazar the Priest tooke the brasen censers, which they, that were burnt, had offred, and made broade plates of them for a couering of the Altar.
40 ndenge Yawe atindaki ye, na nzela ya Moyize. Yango ekozala lokola ekaniseli mpo na bana ya Isalaele ete moto moko te, moto oyo abulisama te, moto oyo azali mopaya liboso ya bakitani ya Aron, akoki koya kotumba malasi ya ansa liboso ya Yawe, noki te akokoma lokola Kore mpe bato oyo balandaki ye.
It is a remembrance vnto the children of Israel, that no stranger which is not of the seede of Aaron, come neere to offer incense before the Lord, that he be not like Korah and his company, as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses.
41 Mokolo oyo elandaki, lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele ekomaki koyimayima mpo na Moyize mpe Aron. Bazalaki koloba: « Bino bobomi bato na Yawe. »
But on the morowe all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye haue killed the people of the Lord.
42 Kasi tango lisanga mobimba esanganaki mpo na kotelemela Moyize mpe Aron, babalukaki na ngambo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpe mbala moko lipata ezipaki yango mpe nkembo na Yawe emonisamaki.
And when the Congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, then they turned their faces toward the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and beholde, the cloude couered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
43 Boye, Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani
Then Moses and Aaron were come before the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
44 mpe Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
45 « Bokende mosika ya lisanga oyo mpo ete nasilisa bango kaka na mbala moko. » Mpe bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele.
Get you vp from among this Congregation: for I wil consume them quickly: then they fell vpon their faces.
46 Moyize alobaki na Aron: « Kamata mbabola na yo mpe tia malasi ya ansa kati na yango elongo na moto ya etumbelo. Bongo, kima mbangu kati na lisanga mpo na kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bango, pamba te kanda makasi ebimi liboso ya Yawe, etumbu ezali koya. »
And Moses said vnto Aaron, Take the censer and put fire therein of the Altar, and put therein incense, and goe quickly vnto the Congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord: the plague is begunne.
47 Aron asalaki ndenge kaka Moyize alobaki, mpe akimaki mbangu na kati-kati ya lisanga. Nzokande, etumbu emibandelaki kosala mosala na yango na kati-kati ya bato, kasi Aron abonzaki malasi ya ansa mpe asalaki mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na bango.
Then Aaron tooke as Moses commanded him, and ranne into the middes of the Congregation, and beholde, the plague was begun among the people, and hee put in incense, and made an atonement for the people.
48 Atelemaki na kati-kati ya bato oyo bazalaki na bomoi mpe oyo bazalaki ya kokufa mpe etumbu esilaki.
And when hee stoode betweene the dead, and them that were aliue, the plague was stayed.
49 Nzokande, bato nkoto zomi na minei na nkama sambo bakufaki na etumbu wana, bakisa oyo bakufaki likolo ya Kore.
So they died of this plague fourtene thousande and seuen hundreth, beside them that dyed in the conspiracie of Korah.
50 Bongo, Aron azongaki epai ya Moyize na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, pamba te etumbu esilaki.
And Aaron went againe vnto Moses before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the plague was stayed.
