Nomery 16
1 Ary Kora, zanak’ i Jizara, zanak’ i Kehata, zanak’ i Levy, ary Datana sy Abìrama, zanak’ i Eliaba, sy Ona, zanak’ i Peleta, izay samy taranak’ i Robena, dia nandrendri-bahoaka,
Now Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath son of Levi, along with some Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—conducted
2 ka nitsangana teo anatrehan’ i Mosesy izy ireo sy ny Zanak’ Isiraely dimam-polo amby roan-jato, izay samy lohan’ ny fiangonana avokoa, dia olona voafidin’ ny fiangonana sady nanan-daza;
a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 men of Israel renowned as leaders of the congregation and representatives in the assembly.
3 koa niangona hiodina amin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Aoka izay ianareo! fa masìna avokoa ny fiangonana rehetra, sady Jehovah no eo aminy; koa nahoana no dia manandra-tena ho ambonin’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah ianareo?
They came together against Moses and Aaron and told them, “You have taken too much upon yourselves! For everyone in the entire congregation is holy, and the LORD is in their midst. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?”
4 Ary raha nandre izany Mosesy, dia niankohoka izy
When Moses heard this, he fell facedown.
5 ka niteny tamin’ i Kora sy ny namany rehetra nanao hoe: Rahampitso dia hasehon’ i Jehovah izay Azy sy izay masìna ka hampanakekeny Azy; dia izay fidiny no hampanakekeny Azy.
Then he said to Korah and all his followers, “Tomorrow morning the LORD will reveal who belongs to Him and who is holy, and He will bring that person near to Himself. The one He chooses, He will bring near to Himself.
6 Izao no ataovy, ry Kora sy ianareo namany rehetra: Makà fitondran’ afo ho anareo rahampitso.
You, Korah, and all your followers are to do as follows: Take censers,
7 dia asio afo eo anatiny ka asio ditin-kazo manitra eo aminy eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ary ny lehilahy izay fidin’ i Jehovah, dia izy no ho masìna; fa aoka izay ianareo, ry taranak’ i Levy!
and tomorrow you are to place fire and incense in them in the presence of the LORD. Then the man the LORD chooses will be the one who is holy. It is you sons of Levi who have taken too much upon yourselves!”
8 Dia hoy koa Mosesy tamin’ i Kora: Henoy, ry taranak’ i Levy:
Moses also said to Korah, “Now listen, you sons of Levi!
9 Moa ataonareo ho zavatra kely va ny nampisarahan’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely anareo tamin’ ny fiangonan’ ny Isiraely hitondrany anareo ho akaiky Azy, hanaovanareo ny fanompoam-pivavahana momba ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah sy hitoeranareo eo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana hanompo azy?
Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel and brought you near to Himself to perform the work at the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?
10 Dia napanakekeny Azy ianao sy ny rahalahinao taranak’ i Levy rehetra miaraka aminao, ary mitady ho mpisorona koa va ianareo?
He has brought you near, you and all your fellow Levites, but you are seeking the priesthood as well.
11 Ary noho izany ianao sy ny namanao rehetra dia tafangona hiodina amin’ i Jehovah; fa Arona moa no inona, no imonomononanareo?
Therefore, it is you and all your followers who have conspired against the LORD! As for Aaron, who is he that you should grumble against him?”
12 Ary Mosesy naniraka nampaka an’ i Datana sy Abìrama, zanak’ i Eliaba; fa hoy izy roa lahy: Tsy hiakatra izahay.
Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come!
13 Moa zavatra kely va ny nitondranao anay niakatra niala tany amin’ izay tany tondra-dronono sy tantely hahafaty anay atỳ an-efitra, no dia manao anao ho lehibenay koa ianao?
Is it not enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? Must you also appoint yourself as ruler over us?
14 Ary koa, ianao tsy nitondra anay ho any amin’ izay tany tondra-dronono sy tantely tsinona, na nanome anay saha sy tanim-boaloboka ho fanananay; hopotsirinao va ny mason’ ireto lehilahy ireto? Tsy hiakatra izahay.
Moreover, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? No, we will not come!”
15 Dia tezitra indrindra Mosesy ka nanao tamin’ i Jehovah hoe: Aza mijery ny fanatiny akory Hianao; tsy naka na dia boriky iray akory aza taminy aho, ary tsy nanisy ratsy na dia tamin’ ny anankiray aminy akory aza.
Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, “Do not regard their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”
16 Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Kora: Aoka ianao sy ny namanao rehetra ho tonga eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah rahampitso, dia ianao sy ireo ary Arona.
And Moses said to Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow—you and they and Aaron.
17 Ary samia maka ny fitondrana fony avy ianareo rehetra, ka asio ditin-kazo manitra eo anatiny, ary samia mitondra ny fitondran’ afony avy ianareo rehetra ho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, dia fitondran’ afo dimam-polo amby roan-jato; dia ianao sy Arona samy hitondra ny fitondran’ afony avy.
Each man is to take his censer, place incense in it, and present it before the LORD—250 censers. You and Aaron are to present your censers as well.”
18 Ary samy naka ny fitondran’ afony avy izy rehetra ka nanisy afo teo anatiny, dia nanisy ditin-kazo manitra teo anatiny; ary nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana izy mbamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona.
So each man took his censer, put fire and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
19 Ary Kora nanangona ny namany rehetra ho eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana hanohitra azy roa lahy; dia niseho tamin’ ny fiangonana rehetra ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah.
When Korah had gathered his whole assembly against them at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole congregation.
20 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
21 Mihataha amin’ ity fiangonana ity ianareo handringanako azy amin’ ny indray mipi-maso monja.
“Separate yourselves from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.”
22 Dia niankohoka izy roa lahy ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra ô, Andriamanitry ny fanahin’ ny nofo rehetra, olona iray no nanota, ka ho tezitra amin’ ny fiangonana rehetra va Hianao?
But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with the whole congregation?”
23 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
24 Mitenena amin’ ny fiangonana, ka lazao hoe: Mihataha tsy hanodidina ny lain’ i Kora sy Datana ary Abìrama.
“Tell the congregation to move away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Dia nitsangana Mosesy ka nankeo amin’ i Datana sy Abìrama; ary nanaraka azy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely.
So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 Dia niteny tamin’ ny fiangonana izy ka nanao hoe: Mialà amin’ ny lain’ ireo olon-dratsy ireo, ka aza mikasika izay azy akory, fandrao haringana koa ianareo noho ny fahotany rehetra.
And he warned the congregation, “Move away now from the tents of these wicked men. Do not touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”
27 Dia nihataka ny olona mba tsy ho eo akaikin’ ny lain’ i Kora sy Datana ary Abìrama; ary Datana sy Abìrama nivoaka ka nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny lainy mbamin’ ny vadiny sy ny zananilahy ary ny zanany madinika.
So they moved away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Meanwhile, Dathan and Abiram had come out and stood at the entrances to their tents with their wives and children and infants.
28 Dia hoy Mosesy: Izao no hahafantaranareo fa Jehovah no naniraka ahy hanao ireny asa rehetra ireny, fa tsy avy tamin’ ny saiko izany:
Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things, for it was not my own doing:
29 Raha maty toy ny fahafatin’ ny olona rehetra ireo olona ireo, na valiana araka ny famaliana ny olona rehetra izy, dia tsy Jehovah no naniraka ahy.
If these men die a natural death, or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.
30 Fa raha hanao zavatra vaovao kosa Jehovah, ka hisokatra ny tany ary hitelina azy mbamin’ izay azy rehetra, ka ho latsaka velona any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita’ izy, dia ho fantatrareo fa efa nandà an’ i Jehovah ireo lehilahy ireo. (Sheol h7585)
But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them and all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt.” (Sheol h7585)
31 Ary rehefa tapitra voalazany izany teny rehetra izany, dia nivava ny tany izay teo ambaniny;
As soon as Moses had finished saying all this, the ground beneath them split open,
32 eny, nisokatra ny tany ka nitelina azy sy ny ankohonany mbamin’ ny olona rehetra izay an’ i Kora ary ny fananany rehetra.
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households—all Korah’s men and all their possessions.
33 Dia latsaka velona ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy mbamin’ izay azy rehetra; ary ny tany dia nikatona taminy, ka fongotra tsy ho amin’ ny fiangonana intsony izy. (Sheol h7585)
They went down alive into Sheol with all they owned. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
34 Ary ny Isiraely rehetra izay nanodidina azy dia nandositra noho ny fidradradradrany; fa hoy izy: Andrao hitelina antsika koa ny tany.
At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The earth may swallow us too!”
35 Ary nisy afo nivoaka avy tamin’ i Jehovah ka nandevona ny lehilahy dimam-polo amby roan-jato izay nanatitra ditin-kazo manitra.
And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.
36 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
37 Mitenena amin’ i Eleazara, zanak’ i Arona mpisorona, mba hotsimponiny eo anatin’ ny may ny fitondran’ afo, ary ny afo dia aelezo lavitra; fa masìna ireny;
“Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the censers from the flames and to scatter the coals far away, because the censers are holy.
38 ary ny fitondran’ afon’ ireo mpanota nanimba tena ireo dia aoka hatao takelaka manify hapetaka amin’ ny alitara; fa nateriny teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ireny ka masìna; ary ho famantarana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ireny.
As for the censers of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, hammer them into sheets to overlay the altar, for these were presented before the LORD, and so have become holy. They will serve as a sign to the Israelites.”
39 Ary nalain’ i Eleazara mpisorona ny fitondran’ afo varahina, izay efa nanateran’ ireo olona may ireo, ka nofisahiny ho takelaka hapetaka amin’ ny alitara
So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned up, and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar,
40 ho fahatsiarovana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mba tsy hisy olon-kafa afa-tsy ny taranak’ i Arona ihany no hahazo manakaiky handoro ditin-kazo manitra eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; fandrao ho tahaka an’ i Kora sy ny namany izy, dia araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampitondrainy an’ i Mosesy.
just as the LORD commanded him through Moses. This was to be a reminder to the Israelites that no outsider who is not a descendant of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the LORD, lest he become like Korah and his followers.
41 Ary nony ampitso dia nimonomonona tamin’ i Mosey sy Arona ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ka nanao hoe: Hianareo efa nahafaty ny olon’ i Jehovah.
The next day the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”
42 Ary raha niangona hanome tsiny an’ i Mosesy sy Arona ny fiangonana, dia nijery ny trano-lay fihaonana izy, ka, indro, nanarona azy ny rahona, ary niseho ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah.
But when the congregation gathered against them, Moses and Aaron turned toward the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared.
43 Ary Mosesy sy Arona dia nankeo anoloan’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting,
44 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
and the LORD said to Moses,
45 Mialà amin’ io fiangonana io handringanako azy amin’ ny indray mipi-maso monja. Dia niankohoka izy roa lahy.
“Get away from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.” And Moses and Aaron fell facedown.
46 Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Arona: Alao ny fitondran’ afo, ka asio afo avy eo ambonin’ ny alitara izy, dia asio ditin-kazo manitra, ka ento faingana eo amin’ ny fiangonana, ka manaova fanavotana ho azy; fa efa mivoaka avy tamin’ i Jehovah ny fahatezerana, ary efa miantomboka ny areti-mandringana.
Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, place fire from the altar in it, and add incense. Go quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, because wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has begun.”
47 Dia nalain’ i Arona izany, araka izay nandidian’ i Mosesy, ka nihazakazaka ho eo afovoan’ ny fiangonana izy; ary, indro, efa niantomboka teo amin’ ny olona ny areti-mandringana; ary nandoro ny ditin-kazo manitra teo izy ka nanao fanavotana ho an’ ny olona.
So Aaron took the censer as Moses had ordered and ran into the midst of the assembly. And seeing that the plague had begun among the people, he offered the incense and made atonement for the people.
48 Dia nijanona teo anelanelan’ ny maty sy ny velona izy, ka dia nitsahatra ny areti-mandringana.
He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was halted.
49 Ary izay efa matin’ ny areti-mandringana dia fiton-jato amby efatra arivo sy iray alina, afa-tsy izay efa maty noho ny amin’ i Kora.
But those who died from the plague numbered 14,700, in addition to those who had died on account of Korah.
50 Ary Arona niverina ho eo amin’ i Mosesy teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana; ary ny areti-mandringana dia nitsahatra.
Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, since the plague had been halted.
