Números 16
1 E Coré, filho de Izar, filho de Coate, filho de Levi; e Datã e Abirão, filhos de Eliabe; e Om, filho de Pelete, dos filhos de Rúben, tomaram gente,
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 contra Moisés com duzentos e cinquenta homens dos filhos de Israel, príncipes da congregação, dos do conselho, homens de renome;
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 juntaram contra Moisés e Arão, e lhes disseram: Basta-vos, porque toda a congregação, todos eles são santos, e em meio deles está o SENHOR: por que, pois, vos levantais vós 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 E quando o ouviu Moisés, lançou-se sobre 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 todo o seu grupo, dizendo: Amanhã mostrará o SENHOR quem é seu, e ao santo o fará chegar a si; e ao que ele escolher, ele o achegará 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 incensários, Coré e todo o seu grupo:
So Korah, tomorrow you and those who are with you must prepare your pans to burn incense.
7 E ponde fogo neles, e ponde neles incenso diante do SENHOR amanhã; e será que o homem a quem o SENHOR escolher, aquele será o santo: basta-vos isto, 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 Vos é pouco que o Deus de Israel vos haja apartado da congregação de Israel, fazendo-vos achegar a si para que ministrasses no serviço do tabernáculo do SENHOR, e estivésseis diante da congregação para ministrar-lhes?
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 que te fez aproximar a ti, e a todos os teus irmãos os filhos de Levi contigo; para que procureis também 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 Portanto, tu e todo o teu grupo sois os que vos juntais contra o SENHOR: pois Arão, que é para que contra ele murmureis?
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 enviou Moisés a chamar a Datã e Abirão, filhos de Eliabe; mas eles responderam: Não iremos lá:
Then Moses/I summoned Dathan and Abiram, but [they refused to come]. They [sent a message] saying, “We will not come to you!
13 É pouco que nos tenhas feito vir de uma terra que destila leite e mel, para fazer-nos morrer no deserto, mas que também te faças senhor de nós autoritariamente?
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 tampouco nos puseste tu em terra que flua leite e mel, nem nos deste propriedades de terras e vinhas: hás de arrancar os olhos destes 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 se irou em grande maneira, e disse ao SENHOR: Não olhes a sua oferta: nem ainda um asno 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 Depois disse Moisés a Coré: Tu e todo o teu grupo, ponde-vos amanhã diante do SENHOR; tu, e eles, e Arão:
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 seu incensário, e ponde incenso neles, e achegai diante do SENHOR cada um seu incensário: duzentos e cinquenta incensários: tu também, e Arão, cada um com 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 E tomaram cada um seu incensário, e puseram neles fogo, e lançaram neles incenso, e puseram-se à porta do tabernáculo do testemunho com Moisés e Arão.
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 Já Coré havia feito juntar contra eles toda a congregação à porta do tabernáculo do testemunho: 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 o SENHOR falou a Moisés e a Arão, dizendo:
and Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
21 Apartai-vos dentre esta congregação, e os consumirei em um momento.
“Get away from all these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately!”
22 E eles se lançaram sobre seus rostos, e disseram: Deus, Deus dos espíritos de toda carne, não é um homem o que pecou? E te irarás tu contra toda a 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 Então o SENHOR falou a Moisés, dizendo:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
24 Fala à congregação, dizendo: Apartai-vos de em derredor da tenda de Coré, Datã, e Abirão.
“[Okay], but tell all the people to get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 E Moisés se levantou, e foi a Datã e Abirão; e os anciãos de Israel foram atrás dele.
So Moses/I stood up and went to the tents of Dathan and Abiram. The Israeli leaders followed him/me.
26 E ele falou à congregação, dizendo: Apartai-vos agora das tendas destes ímpios homens, e não toqueis nenhuma coisa sua, porque 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 E apartaram-se das tendas de Coré, de Datã, e de Abirão em derredor: e Datã e Abirão saíram e puseram-se às portas de suas tendas, com 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 E disse Moisés: Em isto conhecereis que o SENHOR me enviou para que fizesse todas estas coisas: que não de meu coração as fiz.
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 como morrem todos os homens morrerem estes, ou se forem eles visitados à maneira de todos os homens, o SENHOR não me 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 fizer uma nova coisa, e a terra abrir sua boca, e os tragar com todas suas coisas, e descerem vivos ao Xeol, 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 em acabando ele de falar todas estas palavras, rompeu-se a terra que estava debaixo deles:
As soon as Moses/I said this, the ground split open beneath those men.
32 E abriu a terra sua boca, e tragou-os a eles, e a suas casas, e a todos os homens de Coré, e a todos os seus pertences.
It swallowed them and their families and all those who were standing there with Korah and all of their possessions.
33 E eles, com tudo o que tinham, desceram vivos ao Xeol, a 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 Israel, os que estavam em derredor deles, fugiram ao grito deles; porque diziam: Não nos trague também a terra.
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 E saiu fogo do SENHOR, e consumiu os duzentos e cinquenta 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 Então o SENHOR falou a Moisés, dizendo:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
37 Dize a Eleazar, filho de Arão sacerdote, que tome os incensários do meio do incêndio, e derrame mais ali o fogo; porque são santificados:
“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 Os incensários destes pecadores contra suas almas: e farão deles placas estendidas para cobrir o altar: porquanto ofereceram com eles diante do SENHOR, são santificados; 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 o sacerdote Eleazar tomou os incensários de bronze com que os queimados haviam oferecido; e estenderam-nos para cobrir o 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 Em memorial aos filhos de Israel que nenhum estranho que não seja da descendência de Arão, chegue a oferecer incenso diante do SENHOR, para que não seja como Coré, e como seu grupo; segundo se o disse o SENHOR por meio 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 No dia seguinte toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel murmurou contra Moisés e Arão, dizendo: Vós haveis matado ao 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, quando se juntou a congregação contra Moisés e Arão, olharam até o tabernáculo do testemunho, e eis que a nuvem o havia coberto, e apareceu a glória do SENHOR.
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 E vieram Moisés e Arão diante do tabernáculo do testemunho.
Aaron and Moses/I went and stood in front of the Sacred Tent.
44 E o SENHOR falou a Moisés, dizendo:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
45 Apartai-vos do meio desta congregação, e os consumirei em um momento. E eles se lançaram sobre 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 Arão: Toma o incensário, e põe nele fogo do altar, e sobre ele põe incenso, e vai logo à congregação, e faze expiação por eles; porque o furor saiu de diante da face do SENHOR: a mortandade começou.
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 Então tomou Arão o incensário, como Moisés disse, e correu em meio da congregação: e eis que a mortandade havia começado no povo: e ele pôs incenso, 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 pôs-se entre os mortos e os vivos, e cessou a mortandade.
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 naquela mortandade foram catorze mil e setecentos, sem os mortos pelo negócio de Coré.
But 14,700 people had already died from that plague/sickness, in addition to the people who died with Korah.
50 Depois se voltou Arão a Moisés à porta do tabernáculo do testemunho, quando a mortandade havia cessado.
Then after the plague had ended, Aaron and Moses/I returned to the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
