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,
And Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, made bold, and [with him] Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben;
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;
and they rose up against Moses, with two hundred and fifty men of the children of Israel, princes of the assembly, summoned to the council, men of renown;
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?
and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, It is enough; for all the assembly, all of them are holy, and Jehovah is among them; and why do ye lift up yourselves above the congregation of Jehovah?
4 Ary raha nandre izany Mosesy, dia niankohoka izy
When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.
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.
And he spoke to Korah and to all his band, saying, Even to-morrow will Jehovah make known who is his, and who is holy; and he will cause him to come near to him; and him whom he has chosen, him will he cause to come near to him.
6 Izao no ataovy, ry Kora sy ianareo namany rehetra: Makà fitondran’ afo ho anareo rahampitso.
This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his band,
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 put fire therein, and lay incense thereon before Jehovah to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah doth choose, he shall be holy. It is enough, ye sons of Levi!
8 Dia hoy koa Mosesy tamin’ i Kora: Henoy, ry taranak’ i Levy:
And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye 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 too little for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the work of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the assembly 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?
— that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also?
11 Ary noho izany ianao sy ny namanao rehetra dia tafangona hiodina amin’ i Jehovah; fa Arona moa no inona, no imonomononanareo?
For which cause thou and all thy band are banded together against Jehovah; and Aaron, who is he that ye murmur against him?
12 Ary Mosesy naniraka nampaka an’ i Datana sy Abìrama, zanak’ i Eliaba; fa hoy izy roa lahy: Tsy hiakatra izahay.
And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up!
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 a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that thou must make thyself altogether a 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, thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up!
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 was very wroth, and said to Jehovah, Have no regard to their oblation: not one ass have I taken from them, neither have I hurt 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, Be thou and all thy band before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow.
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.
And take each his censer, and put incense thereon, and present before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou, and Aaron, each his censer.
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.
And they took each his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereon, and stood before the entrance to the tent of meeting, as well as Moses and Aaron.
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.
And Korah gathered the whole assembly against them to the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the assembly.
20 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
21 Mihataha amin’ ity fiangonana ity ianareo handringanako azy amin’ ny indray mipi-maso monja.
Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment.
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?
And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh! shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with the whole assembly?
23 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
24 Mitenena amin’ ny fiangonana, ka lazao hoe: Mihataha tsy hanodidina ny lain’ i Kora sy Datana ary Abìrama.
Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25 Dia nitsangana Mosesy ka nankeo amin’ i Datana sy Abìrama; ary nanaraka azy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely.
And Moses rose 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 spoke to the assembly, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in 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.
And they got up from the habitation of Koran, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the entrance of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
28 Dia hoy Mosesy: Izao no hahafantaranareo fa Jehovah no naniraka ahy hanao ireny asa rehetra ireny, fa tsy avy tamin’ ny saiko izany:
And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these deeds, for they are not out of my own heart:
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 as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah 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 Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, and all that they have, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have despised Jehovah. (Sheol h7585)
31 Ary rehefa tapitra voalazany izany teny rehetra izany, dia nivava ny tany izay teo ambaniny;
And it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these words, that the ground clave apart that was under them.
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 up, and their households, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and all their property.
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)
And they went down, they and all that they had, alive into Sheol, and the earth covered them; and they perished from among the congregation. (Sheol h7585)
34 Ary ny Isiraely rehetra izay nanodidina azy dia nandositra noho ny fidradradradrany; fa hoy izy: Andrao hitelina antsika koa ny tany.
And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up!
35 Ary nisy afo nivoaka avy tamin’ i Jehovah ka nandevona ny lehilahy dimam-polo amby roan-jato izay nanatitra ditin-kazo manitra.
And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense.
36 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
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;
Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning; and scatter the fire afar; for they are hallowed,
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.
the censers of these sinners who have forfeited their life; and they shall make them into broad plates for the covering of the altar; for they presented them before Jehovah, therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
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
And Eleazar the priest took the copper censers, which they that were burnt had presented; and they were made broad plates for a covering of 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.
as a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron come near to burn incense before Jehovah, that he be not as Korah, and as his band, — as Jehovah had said to him through Moses.
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.
And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah.
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.
And it came to pass, when the assembly was gathered together against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared.
43 Ary Mosesy sy Arona dia nankeo anoloan’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.
44 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
45 Mialà amin’ io fiangonana io handringanako azy amin’ ny indray mipi-maso monja. Dia niankohoka izy roa lahy.
Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.
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.
And Moses said to Aaron, Take the censer, and put fire thereon from off the altar, and lay on incense, and carry it quickly to the assembly, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah: the plague is 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.
And Aaron took as Moses had said, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague had begun among the people; and he put on incense, and made atonement for the people.
48 Dia nijanona teo anelanelan’ ny maty sy ny velona izy, ka dia nitsahatra ny areti-mandringana.
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
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.
Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter 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.
And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.
