Números 16
1 E Coré, filho de Jizhar, filho de Kohath, filho de Levi, tomou consigo a Dathan e a Abiram, filhos de Eliab, e a On, filho de Peleth, filhos de Ruben,
One day Korah, who was the son of Izhar and a descendant of Levi’s son Kohath, conspired with Dathan and Abiram, who were the sons of Eliab, and On, who was the son of Peleth. Those three men were from the tribe of Reuben.
2 E levantaram-se perante Moisés com duzentos e cincoênta homens dos filhos de Israel, maiorais da congregação, chamados ao ajuntamento, varões de nome,
Korah and those other three men incited 250 other people who were leaders among the Israeli people to join them in rebelling against Moses/me.
3 E se congregaram contra Moisés e contra Aarão, e lhes disseram: Baste-vos, pois toda esta congregação, pois que toda a congregação é santa, todos eles são santos, e o Senhor está no meio deles: porque pois vos elevais sobre a congregação do Senhor?
They came together to criticize Aaron and Moses/me. They said to them/us, “You two are using more [authority] than you should! Yahweh has set apart all of us Israeli people, and he is with/helping all of us. So why do you act as though you are more important than the rest of us people who belong to Yahweh [RHQ]?”
4 Como Moisés isto ouviu, caiu sobre o seu rosto,
When Moses/I heard what they were saying, he/I prostrated himself/myself on the ground.
5 E falou a Coré e a toda a sua congregação, dizendo: amanhã pela manhã o Senhor fará saber quem é seu, e quem o santo que ele fará chegar a si: e aquele a quem escolher fará chegar a si.
Then he/I said to Korah and those [Israeli leaders] who were with Korah, “Tomorrow morning Yahweh will show us whom he has chosen to be his [priest], and who is holy and allowed to come near to him. Yahweh will permit [only] those whom he chooses to come into his presence.
6 Fazei isto: tomai vós incensários, Coré e toda a sua congregação;
So Korah, tomorrow you and those who are with you must prepare your pans to burn incense.
7 E, pondo fogo neles amanhã, sobre eles deitai incenso perante o Senhor: e será que o homem a quem o Senhor escolher, este será o santo: baste-vos, filhos de Levi.
Then you must light a fire in them and burn the incense in the presence of Yahweh. Then we will see which one of us Yahweh has chosen to be his holy servant. It is you men who are descendants of Levi who are trying to use more [authority] than you should!”
8 Disse mais Moisés a Coré: Ouvi agora, filhos de Levi:
Then Moses/I spoke again to Korah. He/I said, “You men who are descendants of Levi, listen to me!
9 Porventura pouco para vós é que o Deus de Israel vos separou da congregação de Israel, para vos fazer chegar a si, a administrar o ministério do tabernáculo do Senhor e estar perante a congregação para ministrar-lhe:
The God of us Israelis has chosen all of you to be close to him in order that you can work for him at his Sacred Tent and serve the people. (Is that unimportant/Does that mean nothing) to you [RHQ]?
10 E te fez chegar, e todos os teus irmãos, os filhos de Levi, contigo; ainda também procurais o sacerdócio?
Yahweh has brought you, [Korah], and your fellow descendants of Levi, near to himself. Now are you demanding to become priests also?
11 Pelo que tu e toda a tua congregação congregados estais contra o Senhor; e Aarão, que é ele, que murmurais contra ele?
It is really Yahweh against whom you and your fellow descendants of Levi are rebelling. Aaron is not the one about whom you are really complaining [RHQ].”
12 E Moisés enviou a chamar a Dathan e a Abiram, filhos de Eliab: porém eles disseram: Não subiremos;
Then Moses/I summoned Dathan and Abiram, but [they refused to come]. They [sent a message] saying, “We will not come to you!
13 Porventura pouco é que nos fizeste subir de uma terra que mana leite e mel, para nos matares neste deserto, senão que também totalmente te assenhoreias de nós?
You brought us out of Egypt, which was a very fertile [IDM] land, in order to cause us to die here in this desert. That was bad. But now you are also trying to boss us [RHQ], and that is worse.
14 Nem tão pouco nos trouxeste a uma terra que mana leite e mel, nem nos deste campos e vinhas em herança; porventura arrancarás os olhos a estes homens? não subiremos.
You have not given us a new land to live in, a land that has good fields and vineyards. You are only trying to [RHQ] trick these people. So we will not come to you.”
15 Então Moisés irou-se muito, e disse ao Senhor; Não atentes para a sua oferta; nem um só jumento tomei deles, nem a nenhum deles fiz mal
Then Moses/I became very angry. He/I said to Yahweh, “Do not accept the grain offerings that they have brought. I have not taken anything from them, not even one donkey, and I have never done anything wrong to them, [so they have no reason to complain about me].”
16 Disse mais Moisés a Coré: Tu e toda a tua congregação vos ponde perante o Senhor, tu, e eles, e Aarão, amanhã.
Then Moses/I said to Korah, “You and all those who are with you must come here tomorrow and stand in front of Yahweh. Aaron will also be here.
17 E tomai cada um o seu incensário, e neles ponde incenso; e trazei cada um o seu incensário perante o Senhor, duzentos e cincoênta incensários; também tu e Aarão, cada qual o seu incensário.
You and all the 250 men who are with you must each take a pan in which to burn incense, and put incense in it, to [burn it to be] an offering to Yahweh. Aaron will do the same thing.”
18 Tomaram pois cada qual o seu incensário, e neles puseram fogo, e neles deitaram incenso, e se puseram perante a porta da tenda da congregação com Moisés e Aarão.
So [the next day] each of those men got a pan to burn incense. They put in it incense and hot coals to light it, and then they all stood at the entrance of the Sacred Tent with Aaron and Moses/me.
19 E Coré fez ajuntar contra eles toda a congregação à porta da tenda da congregação: então a glória do Senhor apareceu a toda a congregação.
Then Korah summoned all the people who supported him and who were against Moses/me, and they also gathered at the entrance of the tent. Then the glory of Yahweh appeared to all of them/us,
20 E falou o Senhor a Moisés e a Aarão, dizendo:
and Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
21 Apartai-vos do meio desta congregação, e os consumirei como num momento.
“Get away from all these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately!”
22 Mas eles se prostraram sobre os seus rostos, e disseram: Ó Deus, Deus dos espíritos de toda a carne, pecaria um só homem, e indignar-te-ás tu tanto contra toda esta congregação?
But Aaron and Moses/I prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground. We pleaded with Yahweh, saying, “God, you are the one who caused all these people to live [MTY]. Only one of these men has sinned; so, (is it right for you to be angry with all the people?/it is not right for you to be angry with all the people!) [RHQ]”
23 E falou o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
24 Fala a toda esta congregação, dizendo: levantai-vos do redor da habitação de Coré, Dathan e Abiram.
“[Okay], but tell all the people to get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Então Moisés levantou-se, e foi a Dathan e a Abiram: e após dele foram os anciãos de Israel.
So Moses/I stood up and went to the tents of Dathan and Abiram. The Israeli leaders followed him/me.
26 E falou à congregação, dizendo: desviai-vos, peço-vos, das tendas destes ímpios homens, e não toqueis nada do que é seu, para que porventura não pereçais em todos os seus pecados.
He/I told the people, “Get away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything that belongs to them! If you touch anything, you will die because of their sins!”
27 Levantaram-se pois do redor da habitação de Coré, Dathan e Abiram, E Dathan e Abiram sairam, e se puseram à porta das suas tendas, juntamente com as suas mulheres, e seus filhos, e suas crianças.
So all the people moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram came out of their tents with their wives and children and babies, and stood at the entrances of their tents.
28 Então disse Moisés: nisto conhecereis que o Senhor me enviou a fazer todos estes feitos, que de meu coração não procedem.
Then Moses/I said, “I was not the one who decided to do all these things that I have done. It was Yahweh who [chose me and] sent me to do them. And now he will prove that to you.
29 Se estes morrerem como morrem todos os homens, e se forem visitados como se visitam todos os homens, então o Senhor me não enviou.
If these men die in a normal way, then it will be clear that Yahweh did not choose me.
30 Mas, se o Senhor criar alguma coisa nova, e a terra abrir a sua boca e os tragar com tudo o que é seu, e vivos descerem ao sepulcro, então conhecereis que estes homens irritaram ao Senhor. (Sheol h7585)
But if Yahweh does something that has never happened before, if he causes the ground [that is under their feet] to open up and swallow these men [and their families] and all their possessions, and they fall into the opening and are buried while they are still alive, then you will know that these men have insulted Yahweh.” (Sheol h7585)
31 E aconteceu que, acabando ele de falar todas estas palavras, a terra que estava debaixo deles se fendeu.
As soon as Moses/I said this, the ground split open beneath those men.
32 E a terra abriu a sua boca, e os tragou com as suas casas, como também a todos os homens que pertenciam a Coré, e a toda a sua fazenda.
It swallowed them and their families and all those who were standing there with Korah and all of their possessions.
33 E eles e tudo o que era seu desceram vivos ao sepulcro, e a terra os cobriu, e pereceram do meio da congregação. (Sheol h7585)
They fell into the opening in the ground while they were still alive, and all their possessions fell into the opening also. They disappeared, and the ground closed back up again. (Sheol h7585)
34 E todo o Israel, que estava ao redor deles, fugiu do clamor deles; porque diziam: Para que porventura também nos não trague a terra a nós.
They screamed as they fell, and all the people who were standing nearby heard them scream. The people [were terrified and] cried out as they ran away, saying, “[We do not want] the ground to swallow us also!”
35 Então saiu fogo do Senhor, e consumiu os duzentos e cincoênta homens que ofereciam o incenso.
And then a fire from Yahweh came down [from the sky] and burned up the 250 men who were burning the incense!
36 E falou o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
37 Dize a Eleazar, filho de Aarão, o sacerdote, que tome os incensários do meio do incêndio, e espalhe o fogo longe, porque santos são;
“Tell Aaron’s son Eleazar to take the pans that had incense in them away from the fire and to scatter the burning coals. The pans that those men [were carrying] are (holy/dedicated to me) [because they burned incense to me in them].
38 Quanto aos incensários daqueles que pecaram contra as suas almas, deles se façam folhas estendidas para cobertura do altar; porquanto os trouxeram perante o Senhor; pelo que santos são: e serão por sinal aos filhos de Israel.
Those men have now died because of their sin; so [Eleazar must] take their pans and hammer the metal to make it become very thin. He must make a covering for the altar with that metal. Those pans were used to offer incense to me, so they are (holy/dedicated to me). [What happened to] those pans will now warn the Israeli people.”
39 E Eleazar, o sacerdote, tomou os incensários de metal, que trouxeram aqueles que foram queimados, e os estenderam para cobertura do altar,
So Eleazar the priest collected the 250 pans for burning incense that had been used by the men who died in the fire. He hammered the pans very thin to make a covering for the altar, as Yahweh told Moses/me should be done.
40 Por memorial para os filhos de Israel, que nenhum estranho, que não for da semente de Aarão, se chegue para acender incenso perante o Senhor; para que não seja como Coré e a sua congregação, como o Senhor lhe tinha dito pela boca de Moisés
That warned the Israeli people that only those who were descendants of Aaron were permitted to burn incense for an offering to Yahweh. If anyone else did that, the same thing that happened to Korah and those who were with him would happen to them.
41 Mas no dia seguinte toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel murmurou contra Moisés e contra Aarão, dizendo; Vós matastes o povo do Senhor.
But the following morning, all the Israeli people started to complain against Aaron and Moses/me, saying “You have killed many people who belonged to Yahweh!”
42 E aconteceu que, ajuntando-se a congregação contra Moisés e Aarão, e virando-se para a tenda da congregação, eis que a nuvem a cobriu, e a glória do Senhor apareceu.
When all the people gathered together to protest about what Aaron and Moses/I had done, they looked at the Sacred Tent and saw that the sacred cloud had covered it, and the glory of Yahweh had appeared.
43 Vieram pois Moisés e Aarão perante a tenda da congregação.
Aaron and Moses/I went and stood in front of the Sacred Tent.
44 Então falou o Senhor a Moisés, dizendo:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
45 Levantai-vos do meio desta congregação, e a consumirei como num momento: então se prostraram sobre os seus rostos,
“Get away from these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately [without injuring you two]!” But Aaron and Moses/I prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground [and prayed].
46 E disse Moisés a Aarão: Toma o teu incensário, e põe nele fogo do altar, e deita incenso sobre ele, e vai depressa à congregação, e faze expiação por eles: porque grande indignação saiu de diante do Senhor; já começou a praga.
Moses/I said to Aaron, “Quickly take another pan and put in it some burning/hot coals from the altar. Put incense in the pan, and carry it out among the people to atone for the sins of the people. Yahweh is very angry with them, and [I know that] a (severe plague/bad sickness) has already started among them.”
47 E tomou-o Aarão, como Moisés tinha falado, e correu ao meio da congregação; e eis que já a praga havia começado entre o povo; e deitou incenso nele, e fez expiação pelo povo.
So Aaron did what Moses/I told him. He took the burning incense out among the people. The plague had already started to strike the people, but Aaron continued to burn the incense so that God would forgive them for the sins they had committed.
48 E estava em pé entre os mortos e os vivos; e cessou a praga.
He stood between the people who had already died and those who were still alive, and then the plague stopped.
49 E os que morreram daquela praga foram quatorze mil e setecentos, fora os que morreram pela causa de Coré.
But 14,700 people had already died from that plague/sickness, in addition to the people who died with Korah.
50 E voltou Aarão a Moisés à porta da tenda da congregação: e cessou a praga.
Then after the plague had ended, Aaron and Moses/I returned to the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
