1 Ie amy zao, niavotse t’i Korahk’ ana’ Itsare ana’ i Kehàte fifokoa’ i Levy reketse i Datane naho i Abirame songa ana’ i Eliabe vaho i One, ana’ i Pelete tarira’ i Reòbene,
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 le nijohañe aolo’ i Mosè eo mindre ami’ty ila’ o ana’ Israeleo, mpiaolo’ i valobohòkey, roanjato-tsi-limampolo, jinoboñe am-pivory, aman-kasy;
a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 men of Israel renowned as leaders of the congregation and representatives in the assembly.
3 nifanontoñe hiatrek’ amy Mosè naho i Aharone vaho nanoe’ iareo ty hoe, Loho bey ty vavea’ areo, amy te fonga miavake i valobohòkey naho am’ iareo iaby t’Iehovà. Aa ino ty irengevoha’ areo ambone’ ty fivori’ Iehovà?
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 Ie jinanji’ i Mosè, le nibabok’ an-dahara’e,
When Moses heard this, he fell facedown.
5 nanao ty hoe amy Korahke naho o mpiama’e iabio: Hamaray ty hampiboaha’ Iehovà o azeo, ty miavake, le ie ty hampañarinea’e; toe i ho joboñe’ey ty hampitotofa’e.
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 Ano zao: ry Korahke naho o mpiama’o iabio, andrambeso sadron’ afo,
You, Korah, and all your followers are to do as follows: Take censers,
7 le apoho ama’e ty afo naho andafiho embok’ añatrefa’ Iehovà hamaray vaho t’indaty joboñe’ Iehovà, ie ty hiavake. Fa loho maro ty vavea’ areo ry nte-Levio!
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 Le hoe t’i Mosè amy Korahke, Mitsendreña henaneo ry ana’ i Levio:
Moses also said to Korah, “Now listen, you sons of Levi!
9 Loho kede ama’ areo hao t’ie nampiambahen’ Añahare’ Israele amo valobohò’ Israeleo hampañarinea’e, hitoloñe amy kivoho’ Iehovày ao, hijohañe añatrefa’ i valobohòkey hiatrak’ iareo,
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 ie nampañarivoe’e ama’e mitraok’ amo rahalahi’o ana’ i Levio? Aa mbe hipay ho mpisoroñe ka v’iheo?
He has brought you near, you and all your fellow Levites, but you are seeking the priesthood as well.
11 kanao mifanontoñe hiatreatre am’ Iehovà, ihe naho o mpiama’o iabio. Le i Aharone, inon-dre te injè’ areo?
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 Nampañitrife’ i Mosè amy zao t’i Datane naho i Abirame ana’ i Eliabe, fa hoe iereo: Tsy homb’eo zahay!
Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come!
13 raha kede ama’o hao te nakare’o an-tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele ao hanjamana’o am-patrambey atoy, mbore manao ho mpifehe anay?
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 Ie amy zao tsy nendese’o amy ze o tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele zao, tsy nampandovae’o anay ty teteke naho tetem-bahe. Aa vaho havitso’o am’ondaty retiañe o fihaino’ iareoo? Zahay tsy homb’eo!
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 Niforoforo t’i Mosè le hoe re am’ Iehovà, Amoeo ty enga’ iareo. Mbe liako tsy nandrambe borìke raik’ am’ iereo vaho leo raik’ am’iereo tsy jinoiko.
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 Le hoe t’i Mosè amy Korahke, Miatrefa am’ Iehovà, ihe naho o mpiama’oo—ihe naho iereo vaho i Aharone te maray;
And Moses said to Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow—you and they and Aaron.
17 songa mindesa sadron’ afo vaho apoho ama’e ty emboke, sindre hinday ty sadròn’ afo’e añatrefa’ Iehovà, sadron’ afo roanjato-tsi-limampolo; ihe naho i Aharone ka, sambe aman-tsadron’ afo.
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 Aa le fonga nandrambe ty sadron’ afo’e t’indaty, naho napo’e ama’e ty afo naho nandafihan’ emboke vaho nijohañe an-dalan-kibohom-pamantañañe eo mindre amy Mosè naho i Aharone.
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 Le navori’ i Korahk’ an-dalan-kibohom-pamantañañe ey i valobohòkey hiatreatre iareo. Nisodehañe amy màroy amy zao ty enge’ Iehovà.
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 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè naho i Aharone:
And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
21 Mivevea amo valobohòkeo fa hampangotomomoheko aniany.
“Separate yourselves from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.”
22 Nibabok’ an-dahara’e amy zao iereo nihalaly ty hoe, O Andrianañahare, Andrianañaharen’ arofo’ ze hene atao nofotse; hiviñera’o ami’ty lila’ ondaty raike hao i valobohòkey?
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 Aa le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
24 Saontsio amo valobohòkeo ty hoe: Iengao o kiboho’ i Korahke naho i Datane vaho i Abirameo.
“Tell the congregation to move away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Le niongake t’i Mosè nimb’amy Datane naho i Abirame mb’eo; nanonjohy aze o roandria’ Israeleo.
So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 Le sinaontsi’e amy valobohòkey ty hoe, Isitaho henaneo o kiboho’ ondaty lo-tsereke reroañe! Ko mitsapa ty raha’ iareo tsy mone ho faoheñe añe amo hakeo’ iareoo.
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 Aa le niviha’ iereo o kiboho’ i Korahke naho i Datane naho i Abirameo; le niakatse t’i Datane naho i Abirame vaho nijohañe an-dalan-kiboho’e eo rekets’ o tañanjomba’eo naho o ana’eo naho o amori’eo.
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 Le hoe t’i Mosè: Inao ty hahafohina’ areo t’ie nirahe’ Iehovà hanao o tolon-draha rezao, tsy te nisatriko:
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 Aa naho mikoromake manahake ze hene ondaty, ondaty retiañe, naho ho tiliheñe hambañe ami’ ty fitilihañe ze kila ondaty, le tsy nirahe’ Iehovà iraho.
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 naho manao raha vao t’Iehovà, naho sokafe’ o taneo ty vava’e, hampibotseke iareo naho ze hene a’ iareo vaho hivarigodam-beloñe mb’ an-tsikeokeok’ ao, le ho fohi’ areo te ninjè’ ondatio t’Iehovà. (Sheol )
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 )
31 Ie vaho nimodo i saontsi’ey le nivalaetrake ambane’ iereo i taney,
As soon as Moses had finished saying all this, the ground beneath them split open,
32 vaho sinoka’ i taney ty vava’e le fonga nabea’e rekets’ o hasavereña’ iareoo, ze lahilahy mpiamy Korahke naho o vara’e iabio.
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households—all Korah’s men and all their possessions.
33 Aa le nigodam-beloñe mb’ an-tsikeokeok’ ao iereo reke-panañañ’ iaby; nikitek’ ambone’e i taney, naho fa nimongoreñe amy valobohokey iereo. (Sheol )
They went down alive into Sheol with all they owned. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly. (Sheol )
34 Le nitriban-day iaby ze ana’ Israele narine eo, namantsiñe ty hoe, Ke hatele’ i taney ka zahay!
At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The earth may swallow us too!”
35 Niboak’ am’ Iehovà amy zao ty afo nahaforototo ‘indaty roanjato-tsi-limampolo nañemboke rey.
And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.
36 Le natoro’ Iehovà amy Mosè ty hoe:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
37 Misaontsia amy Elazare ana’ i Aharone Mpisoroñe handrambesa’e o sadron’ afo boak’ amy afoio, le hampiparatsahe’e ey i afoy, fa miavake irezay.
“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 Ampipeho ho endraendra hanaroñe i kitreliy o sadron’ afo’ ondaty rinotsan-kakeo ty fiai’iareoo, fa miavake amy te nengaeñe am’ Iehovà, le ho viloñe amo ana’ Israeleo.
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 Aa le rinambe’ i Elazare mpisoroñe o sadron’ afo torisìke nengae’ i niforototoeñe reio, vaho nipepeheñe ho kape’ i kitreliy,
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 faniahiañe o ana’ Israeleo te tsy hitotoke mb’eo ty ondaty sotra tsy tarira’ i Aharone hañembok’ am’ Iehovà, tsy mone hanahake i Korahke naho o mpiama’eo, amy nitsara’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Mosèy.
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 Ie amy loakandroy le fonga niñeoñeoñe amy Mosè naho i Aharone i valobohòn’ ana’ Israeley ami’ty hoe, Fa zinama’ areo ondati’ Iehovào.
The next day the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”
42 Aa naho nifanontoñe i valobohòkey hiatreatre amy Mosè naho amy Aharone, f’ie nitolike mb’ an-kibohom-pamantañam-b’eo le hehe te nisaroña’ i rahoñey vaho niboake ty enge’ Iehovà.
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 Aa le niheo mb’ aolo’ i kibohom-pamantañañey mb’eo t’i Mosè naho i Aharone.
Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting,
44 Le nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
and the LORD said to Moses,
45 Isitaho o valobohòkeo hamorototoako aniany. Ie nibabok’ an-daharañe,
“Get away from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.” And Moses and Aaron fell facedown.
46 le hoe t’i Mosè amy Aharone, Angalao sadron’ afo le apoho ama’e ty afo boak’ amy kitreliy, le ampipoho emboke naho mihitrifa masìka mb’amy valobohòkey ho fijebañañe iareo amy te niboak’ am’ Iehovà ty fombo vaho fa namototse i angorosiy.
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 Aa ie mbe nisaontsy t’i Mosè, le rinambe’ i Aharone izay le nipitsik’ an-day naneñateña i valobohòkey; naho tendreke te niorotse am’ ondatio i angorosiy; Napo’e ama’e ty emboke vaho nijebañe ondatio.
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 Aa ie nijohañe añivo’ o mateo naho o veloñeo le nijihetse i angorosiy.
He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was halted.
49 Rai-ale-tsi-efats’ arivo-tsi-fitonjato ty nivetrak’ amy andro zay mandikoatse o nikoromak’ amy Korahkeio.
But those who died from the plague numbered 14,700, in addition to those who had died on account of Korah.
50 Ie nijihetse i angorosiy le nibalike mb’ amy Mosè t’i Aharone mb’an-dalan-kibohom-pamantañañe mb’eo.
Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, since the plague had been halted.
