Числа 16
1 И глагола Корей, сын Иссаара сына Каафа сына Левиина, и Дафан и Авирон, сынове Елиавли, и Авнан сын Фалефа сына Рувимля:
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 и восташа на Моисеа, и мужи сынов Израилевых двести и пятьдесят началницы сонма, сигклитики совета и мужи именити.
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 Совосташа на Моисеа и Аарона и реша к ним: довлеет вам, яко весь сонм вси святи, и в них Господь: и чесо ради востаете на сонм Господнь?
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 И слышав Моисей, паде ниц.
When Moses/I heard what they were saying, he/I prostrated himself/myself on the ground.
5 И глагола к Корею и ко всему сонму его, глаголя: согляда и позна Господь сущих Его и святых, и приведе к Себе: и ихже не избра Себе, не приведе к себе:
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 сие сотворите: возмите себе сами кадилники, Корей и весь сонм его,
So Korah, tomorrow you and those who are with you must prepare your pans to burn incense.
7 и вложите огнь в ня, и вложите в ня фимиам пред Господем утре: и будет муж, егоже аще изберет Господь, сей свят: да довлеют вам сынове Левиины.
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 И рече Моисей Корею: послушайте мене, сынове Левиини:
Then Moses/I spoke again to Korah. He/I said, “You men who are descendants of Levi, listen to me!
9 еда мало есть сие вам, яко отлучи вас Бог от сонма Израилева и приведе вас к Себе служити службы в скинии Господни и стояти пред сонмом Господним, еже служити им?
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 И приведе тя и всю братию твою, сыны Левиины с тобою, и просите священствовати?
Yahweh has brought you, [Korah], and your fellow descendants of Levi, near to himself. Now are you demanding to become priests also?
11 Тако ты и весь сонм твой собравшийся на Бога: и Аарон кто есть, яко ропщете нань?
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 И посла Моисей призвати Дафана и Авирона, сыны Елиавли. И реша: не идем:
Then Moses/I summoned Dathan and Abiram, but [they refused to come]. They [sent a message] saying, “We will not come to you!
13 еда мало се, яко извел еси ны из земли кипящия млеком и медом, еже погубити нас в пустыни, яко владееши нами? Князь еси:
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 и ты ли в землю кипящую медом и млеком ввел еси нас и дал еси нам часть села и винограда? Очи человек тех изткнул еси: не идем.
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 И отягча Моисей гневом зело и рече к Господу: не внемли на жертву их: ни единаго похотения от них приях, ниже озлобих кого от них.
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 И рече Моисей к Корею: освяти сонм твой, и будите готови пред Господа ты и Аарон и они заутра:
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 и возмите кийждо кадилник свой, и возложите на ня фимиам, и принесите пред Господа кийждо кадилник свой, двести и пятьдесят кадилников, и ты и Аарон кийждо кадилник свой.
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 И взяша кийждо свой кадилник, и возложиша на ня огнь, и вложиша в ня фимиам, и сташа пред дверми скинии свидения Моисей и Аарон.
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 И собра на ня Корей весь сонм свой пред дверми скинии свидения: и явися слава Господня всему сонму.
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 И рече Господь к Моисею и Аарону, глаголя:
and Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
21 отступите кийждо от среды сонма сего, и потреблю Я абие.
“Get away from all these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately!”
22 И падоста на лица своя и рекоста: Боже, Боже духов и всякия плоти: аще человек един согреши, на весь ли сонм гнев Господнь?
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 И рече Господь к Моисею, глаголя:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
24 рцы сонму, глаголя: отступите окрест от сонма Кореева и Дафаня и Авироня.
“[Okay], but tell all the people to get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 И воста Моисей, и иде к Дафану и Авирону: и идоша с ним вси старцы Израилтестии.
So Moses/I stood up and went to the tents of Dathan and Abiram. The Israeli leaders followed him/me.
26 И рече к сонму, глаголя: отступите от кущ человек жестокосердых сих, и не прикоснитеся ко всем, елика суть им, да не погибнете купно во всем гресе их.
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 И отступиша от кущ Кореа и Дафана и Авирона окрест: Дафан же и Авирон изыдоста и стаста пред дверми кущ своих, и жены их, и дети их и имение их.
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 И рече Моисей: в сем познаете, яко Господь посла мя сотворити вся дела сия, яко не от себе (аз творю сия):
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 аще смертию всех людий умрут сии, и аще по присещению всех человек посещение будет их, то не Господь посла мене:
If these men die in a normal way, then it will be clear that Yahweh did not choose me.
30 но явно покажет Господь, и отверзши земля уста своя пожрет я и домы их, и кущы их и вся, елика суть их, и снидут живи во ад, и уведите, яко разгневаша человецы сии Господа. (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 Егда же преста глаголя вся словеса сия, разседеся земля под ногами их:
As soon as Moses/I said this, the ground split open beneath those men.
32 и разверзеся земля, и пожре я и домы их, и вся люди сущыя с Кореом, и скоты их:
It swallowed them and their families and all those who were standing there with Korah and all of their possessions.
33 и снидоша тии, и вся, елика суть их, живи во ад, и покры их земля, и погибоша от среды сонма: (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 и весь Израиль, и иже окрест их, отбегоша от вопля их, зане рекоша, глаголюще: да не пожрет нас земля.
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 И огнь изыде от Господа и пояде двести и пятьдесят мужей принесших фимиам.
And then a fire from Yahweh came down [from the sky] and burned up the 250 men who were burning the incense!
36 И рече Господь к Моисею.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
37 И ко Елеазару сыну Ааронову жерцу: соберите кадилники медяныя от среды изгоревших, и огнь чуждий сей разсыплите тамо, яко освятишася кадилницы грешных сих в душах их:
“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 и сотворите я дщицы кованы, обложение у олтаря, яко принесошася пред Господа и освятишася, и быша в знамение сыном Израилевым.
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 И взя Елеазар сын Аарона жерца кадилники медяныя, елики принесоша изгоревшии, и обложиша я во обложение олтаря,
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 в память сыном Израилевым яко да никтоже приидет иноплеменник, иже несть от семене Аароня, еже возложити фимиам пред Господем, и да не будет, якоже Корей и советницы его, якоже глагола ему Господь рукою Моисеовою.
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 И возропташа сынове Израилтестии на утрие на Моисеа и Аарона, глаголюще: вы избисте люди Господни.
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 И бысть егда нападе сонм на Моисеа и Аарона, и устремишася к скинии свидения:
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 и покры оную облак, и явися слава Господня: и вниде Моисей и Аарон пред скинию свидения.
Aaron and Moses/I went and stood in front of the Sacred Tent.
44 И рече Господь к Моисею и Аарону, глаголя:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
45 уступите от среды сонма сего и потреблю я единицею. И падоста на лица своя.
“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 И рече Моисей ко Аарону: возми кадилник, и вложи в него огнь от олтаря, и возложи нань фимиам, и понеси скоро в полк, и помолися о них: изыде бо гнев от лица Господня, и нача губити люди.
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 И взя Аарон, якоже глагола ему Моисей, и тече в сонм, уже бо начася пагуба в людех: и возложи фимиам, и помолися о людех:
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 и ста между мертвыми и живыми, и преста пагуба.
He stood between the people who had already died and those who were still alive, and then the plague stopped.
49 И бысть умерших в пагубе четыренадесять тысящ и седмь сот кроме умерших Кореа ради.
But 14,700 people had already died from that plague/sickness, in addition to the people who died with Korah.
50 И возвратися Аарон к Моисею, к дверем скинии свидения, и преста пагуба.
Then after the plague had ended, Aaron and Moses/I returned to the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
