Lakkoobsa 16
1 Qooraahi ilmi Yizihaar, ilmi Qohaati, ilmi Lewwii, gosa Ruubeen keessaa immoo ilmaan Eliiyaab, Daataanii fi Abiiraam akkasumas Ooni ilmi Phelet kaʼanii
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 Museedhaan morman. Isaan wajjinis namoota Israaʼel jechuunis hooggantoota waldaa bebeekamoo kanneen miseensa yaaʼii taʼanii muudamanii turan 250 gaʼantu ture.
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 Isaanis Musee fi Arooniin mormuuf jedhanii tokkummaadhaan walitti qabamanii dhufanii akkana isaaniin jedhan; “Isin dubbii baayʼiftaniirtu! Waldaan kun guutummaatti tokkoon tokkoon isaanii iyyuu qulqulluu dha; Waaqayyos isaan wajjin jira. Yoos isin maaliif waldaa Waaqayyoo irratti of tuultu ree?”
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 Museen dubbii kana dhageenyaan addaan lafatti gombifame.
When Moses heard this, he fell flat on his face:
5 Ergasiis Qooraahii fi warra isa duukaa buʼan hundaan akkana jedhe: “Bori ganama Waaqayyo nama kan isaa taʼee fi nama qulqulluu taʼe ni argisiisa; akka namni sun gara isaatti dhiʼaatu illee ni godha. Inni nama filate sana akka inni itti dhiʼaatu godha.
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 Qooraahi, atii fi warri si duukaa buʼan hundi waan kana godhaa: Girgiraawwan fudhadhaatii
Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company.
7 bori fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ibiddaa fi ixaana itti naqaa. Namni Waaqayyo filatu inni nama qulqulluu taʼa. Isin Lewwonni dubbii baayʼiftaniirtu!”
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 Museenis Qooraahiidhaan akkana jedhe; “Isin Lewwonni mee dhagaʼaa!
And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi.
9 Waaqni Israaʼel waldaa Israaʼel kaan keessaa isin filatee akka isin hojii dunkaana qulqulluu Waaqayyoo hojjettanii fi akka isin fuula waldaa dura dhaabatanii isaan tajaajiltaniif jedhee ofitti isin dhiʼeessuun isaa isin hin gaʼuu?
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 Inni siʼii fi Lewwota si wajjin jiran hunda ofitti dhiʼeesseera; isin garuu lubummaa illee fudhachuu barbaaddan.
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 Kanaafuu atii fi miiltonni kee hundinuu walitti qabamtanii Waaqayyoon mormitan. Aroon isin itti guungumtan kun eenyuu dha?”
And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?
12 Museenis ergasii ilmaan Eliiyaab Daataanii fi Abiiraam waamsise. Isaan garuu akkana jedhan; “Nu hin dhufnu!
Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.
13 Ati gammoojjii keessatti nu fixuuf jettee biyya aannanii fi damma baasu keessaa nu baasuun kee si hin gaʼuu? Amma immoo gooftaa nutti taʼuu feetaa?
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 Kana malee iyyuu ati biyya aannanii fi damma baasutti nu hin galchine yookaan dhaala lafa qotiisaatii fi iddoo dhaabaa wayinii nuu hin kennine. Ati ija namoota kanaa ni baaftaa? Lakkii, nu hin dhufnu!”
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 Museen akka malee aaree Waaqayyoon, “Aarsaa isaanii hin fudhatin. Ani harree tokko illee isaan irraa hin fudhanne yookaan isaan keessaa nama tokko illee hin miine” jedhe.
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 Museen Qooraahiidhaan akkana jedhe; “Atii fi miiltonni kee hundinuu akkasumas ati, isaanii fi Aroon bori fuula Waaqayyoo duratti argamaa.
And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord tomorrow, and Aaron apart.
17 Tokkoon tokkoon namaa girgiraa isaa fudhatee, ixaana itti naqatee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa dhiʼeessu; girgiraawwan kunneenis walumaa galatti 250 taʼu. Akkasumas atii fi Aroon girgiraa keessan dhiʼeessuu qabdu.”
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 Tokkoon tokkoon namaa girgiraa isaa fudhatee, ibiddaa fi ixaana itti naqatee Musee fi Aroon wajjin balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii dura dhaabate.
When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing,
19 Yeroo Qooraahi isaaniin mormuuf jedhee duukaa buutota isaa hunda balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti walitti qabetti, ulfinni Waaqayyoo waldaa guutuutti mulʼate.
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 Waaqayyo Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe;
And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
21 “Akka ani yeruma tokkoon isaan fixuuf waldaa kana irraa gargar baʼaa.”
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them.
22 Musee fi Aroon garuu addaan lafatti gombifamanii akkana jedhanii iyyan; “Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa hafuurota sanyii nama hundaa, ati yoo namni tokko yakke waldaa guutuutti dheekkamtaa?”
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 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord said to Moses:
24 “Waldaa kanaan, ‘Dunkaanota Qooraahi, kan Daataaniitii fi Abiiraam irraa fagaadhaa’ jedhi.”
Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron.
25 Museenis kaʼee gara Daataanii fi Abiiraam dhaqe; maanguddoonni Israaʼelis isa duukaa buʼan.
And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following him,
26 Innis waldaa sanaan, “Dunkaana namoota hamoo kanneenii irraa fagaadhaa! Isin akka sababii cubbuu isaanii hundaan hin barbadeeffamneef waan kan isaanii taʼe kam iyyuu hin tuqinaa” jedhe.
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 Isaan dunkaanota Qooraahi, kan Daataanii fi kan Abiiraamiis irraa fagaatan. Daataanii fi Abiiraamiis gad baʼanii niitota, ijoollee fi daaʼimman isaanii wajjin balbala dunkaanota isaanii dura dhadhaabachaa turan.
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 Ergasii Museen akkana jedhe; “Ani wantoota kanneen hunda akkan hojjedhuuf Waaqayyo akka na erge, kunis yaada koo akka hin taʼin isin kanaan ni beektu:
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 Yoo namoonni kunneen duʼuma uumamaan dhufu duʼanii fi wanni nama hundatti dhufu isaanitti dhufe Waaqayyo na hin ergine.
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 Garuu yoo Waaqayyo waan guutummaan guutuutti haaraa taʼe tokko isaanitti fidee lafti afaan bantee waan isaan qaban hunda wajjin isaan liqimsite, yoo isaanis utuma lubbuun jiranuu boolla buʼan, isin akka namoonni kunneen Waaqayyoon tuffatan ni beektan.” (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 Akkuma inni waan kana hunda dubbatee fixateen lafti isaan jalaa baqaqxe;
And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet:
32 lafti sunis afaan bantee warra mana isaanii, namoota Qooraahi hundaa fi qabeenya isaanii hunda wajjin isaan liqimsite.
And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance.
33 Isaanis waan qaban hunda wajjin jiraatti boolla buʼan; laftis isaan irratti afaan walitti deebifatte; isaanis akkasiin waldaa keessaa balleeffaman. (Sheol h7585)
And they went down alive into hell the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people. (Sheol h7585)
34 Isaan iyyinaan Israaʼeloonni naannoo isaanii turan hundinuu, “Lafti kun nuunis ni liqimsiti!” jedhanii iyyaa baqatan.
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 Ibiddi Waaqayyo biraa gad buʼee namoota 250 kanneen aarsaa ixaanaa dhiʼeessaa turan sana fixe.
And a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
36 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
37 “Akka inni girgiraawwan sana lafa jarri itti gubamanii fuudhee cilee isaanii kan bobaʼu achi fageessee keessaa bittinneessuuf Eleʼaazaar ilma Aroon lubichaatti himi; girgiraawwan sun qulqulluudhaatii.
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 Girgiraawwan kunneenis girgiraawwan namoota lubbuu isaaniitti muruudhaan cubbuu hojjetanii ti. Girgiraawwan sanas iddoo aarsaatti uffisuudhaaf tumii haphisi; isaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeeffamanii qulqulluu taʼaniiruutii. Isaanis Israaʼelootaaf mallattoo haa taʼan.”
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 Eleʼaazaar lubichi girgiraawwan naasii kanneen namoonni gubaman sun dhiʼeessan sana iddoo aarsaatti uffisuudhaaf jedhee walitti qabee tume.
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 Kanas akkuma Waaqayyo karaa Museetiin isa ajajetti hojjete. Kunis akka sanyii Aroon malee namni tokko iyyuu ixaana aarsuuf fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hin dhiʼaanne, yoo kanaa achii akka inni akkuma Qooraahiitii fi miiltota isaa sanaa taʼu Israaʼeloota yaadataniif.
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 Guyyaa itti aanutti waldaan Israaʼel hundi, “Isin saba Waaqayyoo fixxan” jedhanii Musee fi Aroonitti guunguman.
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 Garuu yeroo waldaan sun Musee fi Arooniin mormuudhaaf walitti qabamee gara dunkaana wal gaʼii ilaaletti, kunoo duumessi dunkaana sana haguuge; ulfinni Waaqayyoos ni mulʼate.
And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
43 Musee fi Aroon gara fuuldura dunkaana wal gaʼii dhaqan;
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 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord said to Moses:
45 “Akka ani yommusuma isaan balleessuuf, waldaa kana biraa fagaadhu.” Isaanis addaan lafatti gombifaman.
Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground,
46 Ergasii Museen Arooniin akkana jedhe; “Girgiraa kee fudhadhuutii iddoo aarsaa irraa ixaana ibidda wajjin itti naqadhuutii araara isaaniif buusuudhaaf gara waldaatti fiigi. Dheekkamsi Waaqayyo biraa dhufeera; dhaʼichi jalqabeera.”
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 Aroon akkuma Museen jedhe sana fiigee gidduu waldaa seene. Yeroo kanatti dhaʼichi gidduu waldaatti jalqabee ture. Aroon garuu ixaana dhiʼeessee araara isaaniif buuse.
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 Innis warra jiruu fi warra duʼe gidduu ijaajje; dhaʼichi sunis ni dhaabate.
And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.
49 Garuu namoota sababii Qooraahiitiif dhuman malee namoota 14,700 gaʼantu dhaʼicha sanaan dhume.
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 Aroon sababii dhaʼichi sun dhaabateef gara balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii gara Museetti deebiʼe.
And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over.
