Números 16
1 Now Korah, filho de Izhar, filho de Kohath, filho de Levi, com Datã e Abiram, filhos de Eliab, e On, filho de Peleth, filhos de Rúben, levou alguns homens.
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 Levantaram-se diante de Moisés, com alguns dos filhos de Israel, duzentos e cinqüenta príncipes da congregação, chamados à assembléia, 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 Eles se reuniram contra Moisés e contra Aarão, e lhes disseram: “Vocês assumem demais, pois toda a congregação é santa, todos eles, e Yahweh está entre eles! Por que vocês se elevam acima da assembléia de Iavé”?
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 Quando Moisés ouviu isso, caiu de cara.
When Moses/I heard what they were saying, he/I prostrated himself/myself on the ground.
5 Ele disse a Korah e a toda sua companhia: “Pela manhã, Yahweh mostrará quem é seu, e quem é santo, e o fará aproximar-se dele”. Mesmo aquele que ele escolher, ele fará com que se aproxime dele.
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 Faça isto: faça com que Korah e toda sua companhia tomem censores,
So Korah, tomorrow you and those who are with you must prepare your pans to burn incense.
7 ponha fogo neles, e coloque incenso neles antes de Yahweh amanhã. Será que o homem que Yahweh escolher, ele será santo. Vocês foram longe demais, seus 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 Moisés disse a Coré: “Ouçam 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 É uma coisa pequena para vocês que o Deus de Israel os separou da congregação de Israel, para trazê-los para perto de si, para fazer o serviço do tabernáculo de Javé, e para se apresentarem diante da congregação para ministrar a eles;
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 ele os aproximou, e a todos os seus irmãos, os filhos de Levi, com vocês? Vocês também buscam 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, você e toda a sua empresa se reuniram contra Javé! O que é Aarão que você reclama 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 Moisés enviou para chamar Dathan e Abiram, os filhos de Eliab; e eles disseram: “Nós 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 É uma pequena coisa que você nos fez subir de uma terra que flui com leite e mel, para nos matar no deserto, mas você também deve fazer-se um príncipe sobre 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 Além disso, você não nos trouxe para uma terra que flui com leite e mel, nem nos deu herança de campos e vinhedos. Você vai apagar os olhos desses homens? Não vamos subir”.
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 Moisés ficou muito zangado e disse a Javé: “Não respeite a oferta deles”. Eu não tirei um burro deles, nem machuquei um deles”.
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 Moisés disse a Korah: “Você e toda sua empresa vão antes de Yahweh, você, e eles, e Aaron, 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 Cada homem pega seu incensário e põe incenso nele, e cada homem traz diante de Javé seu incensário, duzentos e cinqüenta incensários; você também, e Aarão, 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 Cada um pegou seu incensário, colocou fogo, incendiou-o e ficou à porta da Tenda de Encontro 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 Korah reuniu toda a congregação em frente à porta da Tenda de Reunião. A glória de Yahweh 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 Yahweh falou com Moisés e com Arão, dizendo:
and Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
21 “Separem-se desta congregação, para que eu possa consumi-los em um momento”.
“Get away from all these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately!”
22 Eles caíram de cara, e disseram: “Deus, o Deus dos espíritos de toda a carne, pecará um só homem, e você ficará zangado com 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 Yahweh falou com Moisés, dizendo,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
24 “Fale com a congregação, dizendo, 'Afaste-se da tenda de Corá, Datã e Abirão!
“[Okay], but tell all the people to get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Moisés levantou-se e foi para Datã e Abirão; e os anciãos de Israel o seguiram.
So Moses/I stood up and went to the tents of Dathan and Abiram. The Israeli leaders followed him/me.
26 Ele falou à congregação, dizendo: “Parta, por favor, das tendas destes homens maus, e não toque em nada do que é deles, para que não seja consumido 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 Então eles se afastaram da tenda de Corá, Datã e Abiram, de todos os lados. Datã e Abirão saíram, e ficaram à porta de suas tendas com suas esposas, seus filhos e seus pequenos.
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 Moisés disse: “Nisto sabereis que Javé me enviou para fazer todas estas obras; pois não são de minha própria mente.
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 homens morrerem a morte comum de todos os homens, ou se experimentarem o que todos os homens experimentam, então Iavé 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 Javé faz uma coisa nova, e o chão abre sua boca, e os engole com tudo o que lhes pertence, e eles descem vivos no Sheol, então vocês entenderão que estes homens desprezaram Javé”. (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 Ao terminar de dizer todas estas palavras, o chão que estava sob elas se dividiu.
As soon as Moses/I said this, the ground split open beneath those men.
32 A terra abriu sua boca e os engoliu com suas casas, todos os homens de Corá e todos os seus bens.
It swallowed them and their families and all those who were standing there with Korah and all of their possessions.
33 Então eles, e tudo o que lhes pertencia, caíram vivos no Sheol. A terra se fechou sobre eles, e pereceram entre a assembléia. (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 Todo Israel que estava ao seu redor fugiu ao seu grito; pois disseram: “Que a terra não nos engula”.
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 O fogo saiu de Javé, e devorou os duzentos e cinqüenta homens que ofereceram 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 Yahweh falou a Moisés, dizendo:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
37 “Fale a Eleazar, filho de Aarão, o sacerdote, que tire os censores da fogueira, e espalhe o fogo para longe do campo; pois eles são santos,
“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 even os censores daqueles que pecaram contra suas próprias vidas. Que sejam espancados em pratos para uma cobertura do altar, pois eles os ofereceram diante de Javé. Portanto, eles são santos. Eles serão um sinal para os 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 Eleazar o padre levou os censores de bronze que aqueles que foram queimados tinham oferecido; e eles os espancaram para uma 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 to ser um memorial aos filhos de Israel, para que nenhum estranho que não seja da descendência de Aarão, se aproximasse para queimar incenso diante de Javé, para que ele não fosse como Corá e como sua companhia; como Javé lhe falou por 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 But no dia seguinte toda a congregação das crianças de Israel reclamou contra Moisés e contra Arão, dizendo: “Vocês mataram o povo de Yahweh!
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 When a congregação foi reunida contra Moisés e contra Aaron, eles olharam para a Tenda da Reunião. Eis que a nuvem a cobriu e a glória de Yahweh 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 Moses e Aarão veio para a frente da Tenda da Reunião.
Aaron and Moses/I went and stood in front of the Sacred Tent.
44 Yahweh falou a Moisés, dizendo:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
45 “Afaste-se do meio desta congregação, para que eu possa consumi-los em um momento”. Eles caíram de cara.
“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 Moses disse a Aaron: “Pegue seu incensário, ponha fogo no altar, coloque incenso nele, leve-o rapidamente à congregação e faça expiação por eles; pois a ira saiu de Javé! A praga já 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 Aaron fez como Moisés disse, e correu para o meio da assembléia. A peste já havia começado entre o povo. Ele pôs o 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 He ficou entre os mortos e os vivos; e a peste ficou.
He stood between the people who had already died and those who were still alive, and then the plague stopped.
49 Now os que morreram pela peste eram quatorze mil e setecentos, além dos que morreram por causa da questão de Corá.
But 14,700 people had already died from that plague/sickness, in addition to the people who died with Korah.
50 Aaron voltou para Moisés à porta da Tenda da Reunião, e a peste foi detida.
Then after the plague had ended, Aaron and Moses/I returned to the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
