Lakkoobsa 16
1 Qooraahi ilmi Yizihaar, ilmi Qohaati, ilmi Lewwii, gosa Ruubeen keessaa immoo ilmaan Eliiyaab, Daataanii fi Abiiraam akkasumas Ooni ilmi Phelet kaʼanii
Now Korah son of Izhar son of Kohath son of Levi, along with Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, descendants of Reuben, gathered some men.
2 Museedhaan morman. Isaan wajjinis namoota Israaʼel jechuunis hooggantoota waldaa bebeekamoo kanneen miseensa yaaʼii taʼanii muudamanii turan 250 gaʼantu ture.
They rose up against Moses, along with other men from the people of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the community who were well-known members in the community.
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?”
They assembled themselves together to confront Moses and Aaron. They said to them, “You have gone too far! All the community is set apart, every one of them, and Yahweh is among them. Why do you lift up yourselves above the rest of Yahweh's community?”
4 Museen dubbii kana dhageenyaan addaan lafatti gombifame.
When Moses heard that, he lay facedown.
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.
He spoke to Korah and to all those with him, “In the morning Yahweh will make known who belongs to him and who is set apart to him. He will bring that person near to him. The one he chooses he will bring near to himself.
6 Qooraahi, atii fi warri si duukaa buʼan hundi waan kana godhaa: Girgiraawwan fudhadhaatii
Do this, Korah and all your group. Take censers
7 bori fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ibiddaa fi ixaana itti naqaa. Namni Waaqayyo filatu inni nama qulqulluu taʼa. Isin Lewwonni dubbii baayʼiftaniirtu!”
tomorrow and put fire and incense in them before Yahweh. The one whom Yahweh chooses, that man will be set apart to Yahweh. You have gone too far, you descendants of Levi.”
8 Museenis Qooraahiidhaan akkana jedhe; “Isin Lewwonni mee dhagaʼaa!
Again, Moses said to Korah, “Now listen, you descendants 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 for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the community of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do work in Yahweh's tabernacle, and to stand before the community to serve them?
10 Inni siʼii fi Lewwota si wajjin jiran hunda ofitti dhiʼeesseera; isin garuu lubummaa illee fudhachuu barbaaddan.
He has brought you near, and all your kinfolk, the descendants of Levi, with you, yet you are seeking the priesthood also!
11 Kanaafuu atii fi miiltonni kee hundinuu walitti qabamtanii Waaqayyoon mormitan. Aroon isin itti guungumtan kun eenyuu dha?”
That is why you and all your group have gathered together against Yahweh. So why are you complaining about Aaron, who obeys Yahweh?”
12 Museenis ergasii ilmaan Eliiyaab Daataanii fi Abiiraam waamsise. Isaan garuu akkana jedhan; “Nu hin dhufnu!
Then Moses called for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come up.
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 thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness? Now you want to make yourself ruler 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!”
In addition, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us the fields and vineyards as an inheritance. Now do you want to blind us with empty promises? We will not come to you.”
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 was very angry and said to Yahweh, “Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, and I have not harmed any of them.”
16 Museen Qooraahiidhaan akkana jedhe; “Atii fi miiltonni kee hundinuu akkasumas ati, isaanii fi Aroon bori fuula Waaqayyoo duratti argamaa.
Then Moses said to Korah, “Tomorrow you and all your company must go before Yahweh—you and they, and Aaron.
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.”
Each of you must take his censer and put incense in it. Then each man must bring before Yahweh his censer, two hundred and fifty censers. You and Aaron, also, must each bring your censer.”
18 Tokkoon tokkoon namaa girgiraa isaa fudhatee, ibiddaa fi ixaana itti naqatee Musee fi Aroon wajjin balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii dura dhaabate.
So every man took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense in it, and stood at the entrance to the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
19 Yeroo Qooraahi isaaniin mormuuf jedhee duukaa buutota isaa hunda balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti walitti qabetti, ulfinni Waaqayyoo waldaa guutuutti mulʼate.
Korah assembled all the community against Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and Yahweh's glory appeared to all the community.
20 Waaqayyo Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe;
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron:
21 “Akka ani yeruma tokkoon isaan fixuuf waldaa kana irraa gargar baʼaa.”
“Separate yourselves from among this community that I may consume them immediately.”
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?”
Moses and Aaron lay facedown and said, “God, the God of the spirits of all humanity, if one man sins, must you be angry with all the community?”
23 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh replied to Moses. He said,
24 “Waldaa kanaan, ‘Dunkaanota Qooraahi, kan Daataaniitii fi Abiiraam irraa fagaadhaa’ jedhi.”
“Speak to the community. Say, 'Get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'”
25 Museenis kaʼee gara Daataanii fi Abiiraam dhaqe; maanguddoonni Israaʼelis isa duukaa buʼan.
Then Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; the elders of Israel followed 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 spoke to the community and said, “Now leave the tents of these wicked men and touch nothing of theirs, or you will be consumed by all 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.
So the community on every side of the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram left them. Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance to their tents, with their wives, sons, and their little ones.
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:
Then Moses said, “By this you will know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own accord.
29 Yoo namoonni kunneen duʼuma uumamaan dhufu duʼanii fi wanni nama hundatti dhufu isaanitti dhufe Waaqayyo na hin ergine.
If these men die a natural death such as normally happens, then Yahweh has not sent 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 Yahweh creates something new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that they possess, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you must understand that these men have despised Yahweh.” (Sheol h7585)
31 Akkuma inni waan kana hunda dubbatee fixateen lafti isaan jalaa baqaqxe;
As soon as Moses finished speaking all these words, the ground opened under those men.
32 lafti sunis afaan bantee warra mana isaanii, namoota Qooraahi hundaa fi qabeenya isaanii hunda wajjin isaan liqimsite.
The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their families, and all the people who belonged to Korah, as well as all their possessions.
33 Isaanis waan qaban hunda wajjin jiraatti boolla buʼan; laftis isaan irratti afaan walitti deebifatte; isaanis akkasiin waldaa keessaa balleeffaman. (Sheol h7585)
So they and all that they possessed went down alive into Sheol. The earth closed over them, and they perished from among the community. (Sheol h7585)
34 Isaan iyyinaan Israaʼeloonni naannoo isaanii turan hundinuu, “Lafti kun nuunis ni liqimsiti!” jedhanii iyyaa baqatan.
All Israel around them fled from their cries. They exclaimed, “The earth may swallow us up also!”
35 Ibiddi Waaqayyo biraa gad buʼee namoota 250 kanneen aarsaa ixaanaa dhiʼeessaa turan sana fixe.
Then fire flashed out from Yahweh and devoured the 250 men who had offered incense.
36 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Again Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
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.
“Speak to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest and let him take up the censers out of the flames, for the censers are set apart to me. Then let him scatter the burning coals at a distance.
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.”
Take the censers of those who lost their lives because of their sin. Let them be made into hammered plates as a covering over the altar. Those men did offer them before me, so they are set apart to me. They will be a sign of my presence to the people of Israel.”
39 Eleʼaazaar lubichi girgiraawwan naasii kanneen namoonni gubaman sun dhiʼeessan sana iddoo aarsaatti uffisuudhaaf jedhee walitti qabee tume.
Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers that had been used by the men who were burned up, and they were hammered out into a covering for 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.
to be a reminder to the people of Israel, so that no outsider who was not descended from Aaron should come up to burn incense before Yahweh, so they might not become like Korah and his group—just as Yahweh had commanded through Moses.
41 Guyyaa itti aanutti waldaan Israaʼel hundi, “Isin saba Waaqayyoo fixxan” jedhanii Musee fi Aroonitti guunguman.
But the next morning all the community of the people of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron. They said, “You have killed Yahweh's people.”
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.
Then it happened, when the community had assembled against Moses and Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting and, behold, the cloud was covering it. Yahweh's glory appeared,
43 Musee fi Aroon gara fuuldura dunkaana wal gaʼii dhaqan;
and Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
44 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
45 “Akka ani yommusuma isaan balleessuuf, waldaa kana biraa fagaadhu.” Isaanis addaan lafatti gombifaman.
“Go away from in front of this community so that I may consume them immediately.” Then Moses and Aaron lay down with their faces to 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, put fire in it from off the altar, put incense in it, carry it quickly to the community, and make atonement for them, because anger is coming from Yahweh. The plague has begun.”
47 Aroon akkuma Museen jedhe sana fiigee gidduu waldaa seene. Yeroo kanatti dhaʼichi gidduu waldaatti jalqabee ture. Aroon garuu ixaana dhiʼeessee araara isaaniif buuse.
So Aaron did as Moses directed. He ran into the middle of the community. The plague had quickly started to spread among the people, so he put in the incense and made atonement for the people.
48 Innis warra jiruu fi warra duʼe gidduu ijaajje; dhaʼichi sunis ni dhaabate.
Aaron stood between the dead and the living; in this way the plague was stopped.
49 Garuu namoota sababii Qooraahiitiif dhuman malee namoota 14,700 gaʼantu dhaʼicha sanaan dhume.
Those who died by the plague were 14,700 in number, besides those who had died in the matter of Korah.
50 Aroon sababii dhaʼichi sun dhaabateef gara balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii gara Museetti deebiʼe.
Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and the plague ended.
