Tauanga 16
1 Na ka tango tangata a Koraha tama a Itihara, tama a Kohata, tama a Riwai, ratou ko Ratana, ko Apirama, tama a Eriapa, ko Ono hoki, tama a Perete, he tama na Reupena;
And behold Core the son of Isaar, the son of Caath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, and Hon the son of Pheleth of the children of Ruben,
2 A ka whakatika ratou kite aroaro o Mohi, me etahi o nga tama a Iharaira, e rua rau e rima tekau, he rangatira no te whakaminenga, e rangona ana i roto i te huihui, he hunga whai ingoa:
Rose up against Moses, and with them two hundred and fifty others of the children of Israel, leading men of the synagogue, and who in the time of assembly were called by name.
3 Ka whakahuihui ratou i a ratou ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, ka mea ki a raua, He kaha rawa ta korua tango tikanga, he tapu kau nei te whakaminenga katoa, kei waenganui ano hoki a Ihowa i a ratou: he aha ra korua i whakanui aia i a korua ki runga ake i te whakaminenga a Ihowa?
And when they had stood up against Moses and Aaron, they said: Let it be enough for you, that all the multitude consisteth of holy ones, and the Lord is among them: Why lift you up yourselves above the people of the Lord?
4 A, no te rongonga o Mohi, ka hinga tapapa iho ia:
When Moses heard this, he fell flat on his face:
5 A ka korero ki a Koraha ratou ko tana hui katoa, ka mea, A te ata ka whakaaturia mai e Ihowa ko wai tana, ko wai te mea tapu; ka meinga ano e ia kia whakatata ki a ia: ko tana i whiriwhiri ai, ko ia tana e mea ai kia whakatata ki a ia.
And speaking to Core and all the multitude, he said: In the morning the Lord will make known who belong to him, and the holy he will join to himself: and whom he shall choose, they shall approach to him.
6 Ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai, Tikina etahi tahu kakara ma koutou, e Koraha ratou ko tana hui katoa;
Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company.
7 Ka maka hoki he ahi ki roto, ka mea ai i te whakakakara ki runga, ki te aroaro o Ihowa apopo, a, ko te tangata e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, ko ia te mea tapu: kati ta koutou, e nga tama a Riwai.
And putting fire in them tomorrow, put incense upon it before the Lord: and whomsoever he shall choose, the same shall be holy: you take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
8 I mea ano a Mohi ki a Koraha, Na, whakarongo mai, e nga tama a Riwai:
And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi.
9 He mea iti ianei ki ta koutou kia wehea koutou e te Atua o Iharaira i roto i te huihui o Iharaira, kia meinga kia whakatata ki a ia, kia mahi i te mahi o te tapenakara o Ihowa, kia tu hoki ki te aroaro o te hui, hei minita ma ratou?
Is it a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath spared you from all the people, and joined you to himself, that you should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and should stand before the congregation of the people, and should minister to him?
10 Kua meinga ano koe e ia kia tata, koutou tahi ko ou teina katoa, ko nga tama a Riwai: na, me whai ano hoki e koutou te tohungatanga?
Did he therefore make thee and all thy brethren the sons of Levi to approach unto him, that you should challenge to yourselves the priesthood also,
11 Koia koutou ko tau hui katoa ka huihui nei ki a Ihowa: ko Arona hoki, he ha ia, i amauamu ai koutou ki a ia?
And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?
12 Na ka tono tangata a Mohi hei karanga i a Ratana raua ko Apirama, i nga tama a Eriapa: a ka mea raua, E kore maua e hare atu:
Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.
13 He mea iti ianei tau kawe mai i a matou i te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi kia mate ai matou ki te koraha, a ka mea rawa hoki koe i a koe. hei rangatira ki runga i a matou?
Is it a small matter to thee, that thou hast brought us out of a land that flowed with milk and honey, to kill us in the desert, except thou rule also like a lord over us?
14 Kahore ano hoki koe i kawe i a matou i te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e tona honi, i homai ranei i nga mara, i nga kari, hei kainga: ka pokaia ranei e koe nga kanohi o nga tangata nei: e kore matou e haere atu.
Thou best brought us indeed into a land that floweth with rivers of milk and honey, and hast given us possessions of fields and vineyards; wilt thou also pull out our eyes? We will not come.
15 Na ko te tino riringa o Mohi, ka mea ki a Ihowa, Kaua e tahuri ki ta ratou whakahere: kahore ano kia kotahi te kaihe i tangohia e ahau i a ratou, kahore ano ahau i kino noa ki tetahi o ratou.
Moses therefore being very angry, raid to the Lord: Respect not their sacrifices: thou knowest that I have not taken of them so much as a young ass at any time, nor have injured any of them.
16 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Koraha, Puta mai koutou ko tau hui katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowa apopo, a koe, me ratou ko Arona, apopo:
And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord tomorrow, and Aaron apart.
17 A me mau e tenei, e tenei o koutou tana tahu kakara, ka mea he whakakakara ki runga, ka kawe ai tena i tana tahu kakara, i tana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kia rua rau kia rima tekau nga tahu kakara: a koe me tau tahu kakara, a Arona hoki me tana.
Take every one of you censers, and put incense upon them, offering to the Lord two hundred and fifty censers: let Aaron also hold his censer.
18 Na ka mau ratou ki tana tahu kakara, ki tana tahu kakara, a hoatu ana he ahi ki roto, meatia ana hoki he whakakakara ki runga, a ka tu tahi me Mohi raua ko Arona ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.
When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing,
19 Na ka tawhiua e Koraha te whakaminenga katoa ki a raua ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga: a ka puta mai te kororia o Ihowa ki te whakaminenga katoa.
And had drawn up all the multitude against them to the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.
20 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, ka mea,
And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
21 Wehea atu korua i roto i tenei whakaminenga, e kore hoki e aha ka pau ratou i ahau.
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them.
22 Na ka tapapa raua, ka mea, E te Atua, e te Atua o nga wairua o nga kikokiko katoa, kia hara ranei te tangata kotahi, a ka riri koe ki te whakaminenga katoa?
They fell flat on their face, and said: O most mighty, the God of the spirits of all flesh, for one man’s sin shall thy wrath rage against all?
23 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
And the Lord said to Moses:
24 Korero ki te whakaminenga, mea atu, Whakatika i te tapenakara o Koraha, o Ratana, o Apirama.
Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron.
25 Na ka whakatika a Mohi, ka haere ki a Ratana raua ko Apirama: me te whai tahi ano nga kaumatua o Iharaira i a ia.
And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following him,
26 Na ka korero ia ki te whakaminenga, ka mea, Tena, mawehe mai i nga teneti o enei tangata kikino, kaua hoki e pa ki te tahi mea a ratou, kei ngaro koutou i roto i o ratou hara katoa.
He said to the multitude: Depart from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be involved in their sins.
27 Na ka whakatika ratou i nga taha katoa o te tapenakara o Koraha, o Ratana, o Apirama: a ka puta a Ratana raua ko Apirama, ka tu ki nga whatitoka o o raua teneti, ratou ko a ratou wahine, ko a ratou tama, ko a ratou kohungahunga hoki.
And when they were departed from their tents round about, Dathan and Abiron coming out stood in the entry of their pavilions with their wives and children, and all the people.
28 Na ka mea a Mohi, Ma tenei e mohio ai koutou na Ihowa ahau i unga mai ki te mahi i enei mahi katoa; a ehara i te mea whakaaro noa ake naku.
And Moses said: By this you shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all things that you see, and that I have not forged them of my own head:
29 Ki te mea ko te mate o nga tangata katoa te mate mo enei, ko te whiu ranei o nga tangata katoa te whiu mo ratou, kahore ahau i unga mai e Ihowa.
If these men die the common death of men, and if they be visited with a plague, wherewith others also are wont to be visited, the Lord did not send me.
30 Tena ko tenei, ka pokaia houtia e Ihowa he mahi hou, a ka hamama te waha o te oneone, a ka horomia ratou me a ratou me katoa, a ka heke ora ratou ki te rua; katahi koutou ka mohio i whakahawea enei tangata ki a Ihowa. (Sheol h7585)
But if the Lord do a new thing, and the earth opening her mouth swallow them down, and all things that belong to them, and they go down alive into hell, you shall know that they have blasphemed the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
31 A mutu kau tana korero i enei korero katoa, ko te tino kowheratanga o te oneone i raro i a ratou:
And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet:
32 Na hamama ana te waha o te whenua, horomia ake hoki ratou me o ratou whare, me nga tangata katoa o Koraha, me o ratou rawa katoa.
And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance.
33 A heke ora ana ratou me a ratou mea katoa ki te rua, na ka taupokina iho ratou i te whenua: a ngaro iho ratou i roto i te whakaminenga. (Sheol h7585)
And they went down alive into hell the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people. (Sheol h7585)
34 Na rere ana a Iharaira katoa i nga taha katoa o ratou i to ratou aue; i mea hoki, Kei horomia hoki tatou e te whenua.
But all Israel, that was standing round about, fled at the cry of them that were perishing: saying: Lest perhaps the earth swallow us up also.
35 Na a puta mai he ahi i a Ihowa, a pau ake nga tangata e rua rau e rima tekau i whakahere nei i te whakakakara.
And a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
36 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
37 Mea atu ki a Eratara tama a te tohunga, a Arona, kia tangohia ake e ia nga tahu kakara i roto i te tahunga, a rukerukea atu hoki e koe te ahi ki ko; he tapu hoki ena;
Command Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers that lie in the burning, and to scatter the fire of one side and the other: because they are sanctified
38 Ko nga tahu kakara ano a taua hunga i hara ra ki o ratou wairua, me hanga hei papa paraharaha, hei kopaki mo te aata: i tapaea hoki ki te aroaro o Ihowa, koia i tapu ai: a ka waiho hei tohu ki nga tama a Iharaira.
In the deaths of the sinners: and let him beat them into plates, and fasten them to the altar, because incense hath been offered in them to the Lord, and they are sanctified, that the children of Israel may see them for a sign and a memorial.
39 Na tikina atu ana e te tohunga, e Ereatara, nga tahu kakara parahi i tapaea e te hunga i tahuna ra, a ka hanga hei papa paraharaha, hei kopaki mo te aata:
Then Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherein they had offered, whom the burning fire had devoured, and beat them into plates, fastening them to the altar:
40 Hei whakamahara mo nga tama a Iharaira, kei whakatata he tangata ke, ehara nei i te uri no Arona, ki te tahu whakakakara ki te aroaro o Ihowa: kei rite ki a Koraha ratou ko tana hui: ko ta Ihowa tenei i korerotia e Mohi ki a ia.
That the children of Israel might have for the time to come wherewith they should be admonished, that no stranger or any one that is not of seed of Aaron should come near to offer incense to the Lord, lest he should suffer as Core suffered, and all his congregation, according as the Lord spoke to Moses.
41 Otiia i te aonga ake ka amuamu te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, ka mea, Na korua i mate ai te iwi a Ihowa.
The following day all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: You have killed the people of the Lord.
42 A, i te huihuinga o te whakaminenga katoa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i to ratou tahuritanga ake ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, e! kua taupokina e te kapua, a ka kitea te kororia o Ihowa.
And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
43 Na ka haere a Mohi raua ko Arona ki mua i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.
Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when the were gone into it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
44 A ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
And the Lord said to Moses:
45 Whakatika atu korua i roto i tenei whakaminenga, e kore e aha ka pau ratou i ahau. Na ka tapapa iho raua.
Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground,
46 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Arona, E mau ki te tahu kakara, meatia iho hoki he ahi i te aata, ka hoatu ai i te whakakakara ki runga, a kia hohoro te haere ki te whakaminenga, te whakamarie mo ratou: kua puta he riri i te aroaro o Ihowa; kua timata te whiu.
Moses said to Aaron: Take the censer, and putting fire in it from the altar, put incense upon it, and go quickly to the people to pray for them: for already wrath is gone out from the Lord, and the plague rageth.
47 Na tikina ana e Arona, peratia ana me ta Mohi i ki ai, a rere ana ia ki waenganui o te whakaminenga; na kua timata tena te whiu i roto i te iwi: na ka maka iho e ia he whakakakara, a ka whakamarie mo te iwi.
When Aaron had done this, and had run to the midst of the multitude which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense:
48 Na tu ana ia i waenganui o te hunga mate, o te hunga ora; a ka mutu te whiu.
And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.
49 Na ko nga tangata i mate i te whiu, kotahi tekau ma wha mano e whitu rau, haunga era i mate i to Koraha ra.
And the number of them that were slain was fourteen thousand and seven hundred men, besides them that had perished in the sedition of Core.
50 Na hoki ana a Arona ki a Mohi, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, a mutu iho te whiu.
And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over.
