< Hesabu 16 >
1 Kora mwana wa Ishari, mwana wa Kohathi, mwana wa Lawi, pamoja na baadhi ya Wareubeni, yaani Dathani na Abiramu, wana wa Eliabu, na Oni mwana wa Pelethi, wakachukua baadhi ya watu,
Pea ko eni, naʻe kautaha ʻa Kola, ko e foha ʻo ʻIsa, ko e foha ia ʻo Kohate, ko e foha ia ʻo Livai, pea mo Tatani, mo ʻEpilami, ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻIliapi, pea mo ʻOni, ko e foha ʻo Peleti, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Lupeni:
2 wakainuka dhidi ya Mose. Pamoja nao walikuwepo wanaume wa Kiisraeli 250, watu waliojulikana, viongozi wa jumuiya waliokuwa wameteuliwa kuwa wakuu wa kusanyiko.
Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hake ʻi he ʻao ʻo Mōsese, fakataha mo e niʻihi ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe fakataha, ʻae toko uangeau mo e toko nimangofulu naʻe poto ʻi he fakakaukau ʻi he kakai, ko e kau tangata ongoongo:
3 Wakaja kama kikundi kuwapinga Mose na Aroni, wakawaambia, “Ninyi mmejitukuza sana! Kusanyiko hili lote ni takatifu, kila mmoja wao, naye Bwana yu pamoja nao. Kwa nini basi mmejitukuza wenyewe juu ya kusanyiko la Bwana?”
Pea naʻa nau fakataha ʻakinautolu kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, pea nau pehē kiate kinaua, “ʻOku lahi fau ʻa hoʻomo fie pule ʻamoua, he kuo māʻoniʻoni taki taha kotoa pē ʻae kakai, pea ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova: pea ko e hā te mo hiki hake ai ʻakimoua ke mo māʻolunga ʻi he kakai ʻa Sihova?”
4 Mose aliposikia jambo hili, akaanguka kifudifudi.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻa Mōsese, naʻe tō fakafoʻohifo ia ki hono mata:
5 Kisha akamwambia Kora na wafuasi wake wote: “Asubuhi Bwana ataonyesha ni nani aliye wake na ni nani aliye mtakatifu, tena atamtaka mtu huyo aje kwake. Mtu yule ambaye atamchagua atamfanya kuja karibu naye.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kia Kola mo hono kakai kotoa pē, “ʻE fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻapongipongi ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻoʻona, pea mo ia ʻoku māʻoniʻoni; pea te ne tuku ia ke ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi kiate ia: ʻio, ko ia kuo ne fili te ne tuku ke ʻunuʻunu mai ki heʻene ʻafio.
6 Wewe Kora na wafuasi wako wote mtafanya hivi: Chukueni vyetezo,
Mou fai eni; Toʻo homou ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, ʻa Kola, mo hono kakai kotoa pē;
7 kesho wekeni moto na uvumba kwenye hivyo vyetezo mbele za Bwana. Mtu ambaye Bwana atamchagua atakuwa ndiye mtakatifu. Ninyi Walawi mmejitukuza sana!”
Pea tuku ki ai ʻae afi, ʻo ʻai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala ki ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻapongipongi: pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko e tangata ʻe fili ki ai ʻa Sihova ko e māʻoniʻoni ia: ʻoku mou angahiki ʻaupito, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Livai.”
8 Pia Mose akamwambia Kora, “Enyi Walawi! Sasa nisikilizeni.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Kola, “ʻOku ou kole atu kiate kimoutolu ke mou fanongo mai, ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Livai:
9 Haiwatoshi ninyi kwamba Mungu wa Israeli amewateua ninyi kutoka kusanyiko lote la Kiisraeli, na kuwaleta karibu naye mpate kufanya kazi kwenye Maskani ya Bwana, na kusimama mbele ya kusanyiko ili kuwahudumia?
Ko e meʻa vaʻinga koā ia kiate kimoutolu ʻae fakamavae ʻe he ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ke ofi ki heʻene ʻafio ke mou fai ʻae ngāue, ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova, pea ke tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ke ngāue kiate kinautolu?
10 Amekuleta wewe na ndugu zako Walawi mwe karibu naye, lakini sasa unajaribu kupata na ukuhani pia.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi koe ke ofi ki heʻene ʻafio, pea mo ho kāinga ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Livai fakataha mo koe: pea ʻoku mou kumi foki ʻae ngāue fakataulaʻeiki?
11 Wewe na wafuasi wako wote mmekusanyika pamoja kinyume cha Bwana. Aroni ni nani kwamba ninyi mnungʼunike dhidi yake?”
He ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻo hoʻomou fakataha ʻa koe mo ho kakai kia Sihova: pea ko hai ʻa ʻElone, ʻoku mou lāunga ai kiate ia?”
12 Kisha Mose akawaita Dathani na Abiramu, wana wa Eliabu. Lakini wao wakasema, “Sisi hatuji!
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ke ui ʻa Tatani mo ʻEpilami, ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻIliapi: ka naʻa na pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te ma ʻalu ange:
13 Haitoshi tu kwamba wewe umetuleta kutoka nchi itiririkayo maziwa na asali ili kutuua sisi jangwani? Nawe sasa pia unataka kuwa mkuu juu yetu?
He ko e meʻa siʻi hoʻo ʻomi ʻakimautolu mei he fonua ʻoku pito ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi, ke tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi he toafa, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke nofo koe ko e ʻeiki kiate kimautolu?
14 Zaidi ya hayo, hujatuingiza katika nchi inayotiririka maziwa na asali, wala hujatupa urithi wa mashamba na mashamba ya mizabibu. Je, utayangʼoa macho ya watu hawa? Hapana, sisi hatuji!”
Ka kuo ʻikai te ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki ha fonua ʻoku pito ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi, pe tuku kiate kimautolu ha tofiʻa ʻi he ngoue mo e ngoue vaine: te ke kapeʻi koā ʻae mata ʻoe kau tangata ni? ʻE ʻikai te ma ʻalu ange.”
15 Ndipo Mose akakasirika sana na kumwambia Bwana, “Usiikubali sadaka yao. Mimi sikuchukua chochote, hata punda kutoka kwao, wala sijamkosea hata mmoja wao.”
Pea naʻe tuputāmaki lahi ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne pehē kia Sihova, “ʻOua naʻa ke ʻafio ki heʻenau feilaulau: naʻe ʻikai te u faʻao ha ʻasi ʻe taha meiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fakamamahiʻi ha taha ʻiate kinautolu.”
16 Mose akamwambia Kora, “Wewe na wafuasi wako wote kesho mtatokea mbele za Bwana: yaani wewe na hao wenzako, pamoja na Aroni.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Kola, “Ko koe mo ho kakai ke mou ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻapongipongi, ʻa koe, mo kinautolu, pea mo ʻElone:
17 Kila mtu atachukua chetezo chake na kuweka uvumba ndani yake, vyetezo 250 kwa jumla, na kukileta mbele za Bwana. Wewe na Aroni mtaleta vyetezo vyenu pia.”
pea ʻe taki taha ʻave ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, pea tuku ʻi ai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala, pea taki taha ʻomi ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko e ipu ʻaiʻanga afi ʻe uangeau ma nimangofulu; pea ko koe foki, mo ʻElone, te mo taki taha ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi.”
18 Kwa hiyo kila mtu akachukua chetezo chake, akaweka moto na uvumba ndani yake, na kusimama pamoja na Mose na Aroni kwenye mlango wa Hema la Kukutania.
Pea naʻe taki taha ʻave ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, pea naʻe tuku ʻae afi ki ai, pea tuku ki ai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala, pea naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai fakataha mo Mōsese mo ʻElone.
19 Kora alipokuwa amekusanya wafuasi wake wote kuwapinga Mose na Aroni kwenye mlango wa Hema la Kukutania, utukufu wa Bwana ukatokea kwa kusanyiko lote.
Pea naʻe fakataha ʻe Kola ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate kinaua ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ki he kakai kotoa pē.
20 Bwana akamwambia Mose na Aroni,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,
21 “Jitengeni kutoka kwenye kusanyiko hili ili nipate kuwaangamiza mara moja.”
“Fakamavahe ʻakimoua mei he kakai ni, koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha leva ʻakinautolu.”
22 Lakini Mose na Aroni wakaanguka kufudifudi na kulia kwa sauti, wakasema, “Ee Mungu, Mungu wa roho za wanadamu wote, utakuwa na hasira na kusanyiko lote wakati ni mtu mmoja tu ametenda dhambi?”
Pea naʻa na tō ki hona mata, ʻo na pehē, “ʻE ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe laumālie ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, ʻe angahala ha tokotaha, pea te ke houhau ki he kakai kotoa pē?”
23 Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
24 “Liambie kusanyiko, ‘Ondokeni hapo karibu na mahema ya Kora, Dathani na Abiramu.’”
“Ke ke lea ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, Mou ʻalu atu ke ʻatā mei he fale fehikitaki ʻo Kola, mo Tatani, mo ʻEpilami.”
25 Mose akainuka na kuwaendea Dathani na Abiramu, nao wazee wa Israeli wakafuatana naye.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Mōsese ʻo ʻalu kia Tatani mo ʻEpilami; pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli.
26 Mose akalionya kusanyiko, “Sogeeni nyuma mbali na mahema ya hawa watu waovu! Msiguse kitu chochote kilicho mali yao, la sivyo mtafagiliwa mbali kwa sababu ya dhambi zao zote.”
Pea naʻe lea ia ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, Mou hiki atu mei he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻoe kau tangata angahala ni, pea ʻoua naʻa mou ala ki haʻanau meʻa, telia naʻa mou ʻauha ʻi heʻenau angahala.”
27 Hivyo wakaondoka karibu na mahema ya Kora, Dathani na Abiramu. Dathani na Abiramu walikuwa wametoka nje, nao walikuwa wamesimama pamoja na wake zao, watoto wao na wale wanyonyao kwenye mlango wa mahema yao.
Ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu ai mei he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Kola, mo Tatani, mo ʻEpilami: pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Tatani mo ʻEpilami, pea na tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻo hona fale fehikitaki, pea mo hona uaifi mo hona ngaahi foha, pea mo ʻena fānau iiki.
28 Ndipo Mose akasema, “Hivi ndivyo mtakavyojua kuwa Bwana amenituma kufanya mambo haya, na kwamba halikuwa wazo langu.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Te mou ʻilo eni kuo fekau au ʻe Sihova ke u fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē; he ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ʻoʻoku.
29 Ikiwa watu hawa watakufa kifo cha kawaida na kupatwa na yale ya kawaida yanayowapata wanadamu, basi Bwana hakunituma mimi.
Kapau ʻe mate ʻae kau tangata ni ʻo hangē ko e mate ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea kapau ʻe hoko kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e hoko ki he kakai kotoa pē; pea tā kuo ʻikai fekau au ʻe Sihova.
30 Lakini ikiwa Bwana ataleta jambo jipya kabisa, ardhi ikifunua kinywa chake na kuwameza wao, pamoja na kila kitu kilicho mali yao, nao washuke chini kaburini wakiwa hai, ndipo mtafahamu kuwa watu hawa wamemdharau Bwana.” (Sheol )
Pea kapau ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ha meʻa foʻou pea ʻe mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻoe kelekele, ʻo folo hifo ʻakinautolu, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu, pea nau ʻalu hifo fakafokifā pe ki he luo; te mou toki ʻilo ai kuo fakahouhauʻi ʻa Sihova ʻe he kau tangata ni.” (Sheol )
31 Mara Mose alipomaliza kusema haya yote, ardhi iliyokuwa chini yao ikapasuka,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻa ʻene fakahā ʻae ngaahi lea ni, naʻe mafahi ʻae kelekele ʻi lalo ʻiate kinautolu:
32 nchi ikafunua kinywa chake na kuwameza wao, pamoja na jamaa zao, na watu wote wa Kora na mali zao zote.
Pea naʻe mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻoe kelekele, ʻo folo hifo ʻakinautolu, mo honau ngaahi fale pea mo e kau tangata kotoa pē naʻe ʻia Kola, mo ʻenau koloa kotoa pē.
33 Wakashuka chini kaburini wakiwa hai, pamoja na kila kitu walichokuwa nacho; nchi ikajifunika juu yao, nao wakaangamia wakatoweka kutoka kusanyiko. (Sheol )
Ko kinautolu, mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate kinautolu, naʻe ʻalu moʻui hifo ki he luo, pea naʻe mapuni ʻae kelekele kiate kinautolu: pea naʻa nau ʻauha mei he kakai. (Sheol )
34 Kutoka kilio chao, Waisraeli wote waliowazunguka walikimbia, wakipaza sauti, “Nchi inatumeza na sisi pia!”
Pea naʻe hola ʻi heʻenau tangi ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻiate kinautolu: he naʻa nau pehē, “Naʻa toe folo hifo ʻe he kelekele ʻakimautolu.”
35 Moto ukaja kutoka kwa Bwana, ukawateketeza wale watu 250 waliokuwa wakifukiza uvumba.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae afi meia Sihova, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko uangeau ma toko nimangofulu naʻe feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ʻakau namu kakala.
36 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
37 “Mwambie Eleazari mwana wa kuhani Aroni, atoe vyetezo kwenye mabaki ya moto na kutawanya makaa mbali kiasi, kwa maana vyetezo ni vitakatifu:
“Ke ke lea kia ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki, ke ne hiko hake ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi mei he afi, he kuo tapu ia; pea ke liʻaki ʻae afi ki hena.
38 vyetezo vya watu waliofanya dhambi iliyowagharimu maisha yao. Fua vyetezo hivyo kuwa bamba ili kufunika madhabahu, kwa maana vimeletwa mbele za Bwana na vimekuwa vitakatifu. Navyo viwe ishara kwa Waisraeli.”
Ko e ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi ʻakinautolu ni kuo angahala ki honau laumālie, tuku kenau ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi teunga lafalafa laulahi ke ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga: he kuo nau feilaulau ʻaki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko ia kuo tapu ai ia; pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fakaʻilonga ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
39 Hivyo kuhani Eleazari akavikusanya vile vyetezo vya shaba vilivyoletwa na wale waliokuwa wameteketezwa kwa moto, naye akavifua kufunika madhabahu,
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi palasa, ʻaia naʻe feilaulau ʻaki ʻekinautolu kuo vela; pea naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi fono lafalafa laulahi ke ʻuʻufi ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga:
40 kama vile Bwana alivyomwelekeza kupitia Mose. Hili lilikuwa kuwakumbusha Waisraeli kwamba hakuna mtu hata mmoja, isipokuwa mzao wa Aroni, awezaye kuja kufukiza uvumba mbele za Bwana, la sivyo, angekuwa kama Kora na wafuasi wake.
Ke tuku ia ko e fakamanatu ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ofi mai ha muli, ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe hako ʻo ʻElone ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ʻakau namu kakala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; telia naʻa tatau ia mo Kola, pea mo hono kakai: ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.
41 Siku iliyofuata jumuiya yote ya Kiisraeli wakanungʼunika dhidi ya Mose na Aroni, wakisema, “Mmewaua watu wa Bwana.”
Pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoʻi naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mo tāmateʻi ʻae kakai ʻo Sihova.”
42 Lakini wakati kusanyiko lilipokusanyika kupingana na Mose na Aroni, nalo likageuka kuelekea Hema la Kukutania, ghafula wingu likafunika Hema, nao utukufu wa Bwana ukatokea.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakataha ʻae kakai kia Mōsese pea mo ʻElone, naʻa nau sio ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea fokifā pe kuo ʻuʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae ʻao, pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova.
43 Ndipo Mose na Aroni wakaenda mbele ya Hema la Kukutania,
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone ki he matafale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
44 naye Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
45 “Jitenge mbali na kusanyiko hili ili niweze kuwaangamiza mara moja.” Wakaanguka chini kifudifudi.
“Mo ʻalu hake ʻi he kakai ni, koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha leva ʻakinautolu.” Pea naʻa na tō foʻohifo ki hona mata.
46 Kisha Mose akamwambia Aroni, “Chukua chetezo chako na uweke uvumba ndani yake, pamoja na moto kutoka madhabahuni, nawe uende haraka kwenye kusanyiko ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yao. Ghadhabu imekuja kutoka kwa Bwana, na tauni imeanza.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, “Toʻo ha ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, ʻo tuku ki ai ʻae afi mei he funga feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ʻai ki ai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala, pea ke ʻalu vave ki he kakai, ʻo fai ʻae fakalelei maʻanautolu: he kuo ʻalu atu ʻae houhau meia Sihova; pea kuo kamata ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.”
47 Hivyo Aroni akafanya kama Mose alivyosema, akakimbilia katikati ya kusanyiko. Tauni ilikuwa tayari imeanza miongoni mwa watu, lakini Aroni akafukiza uvumba na kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yao.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻElone ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne lele ki he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai; pea vakai kuo kamata ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha ʻi he kakai: pea naʻa ne ʻai ʻae ʻakau namu kakala ki ai, ʻo ne fai ʻae fakalelei maʻanautolu.
48 Aroni akasimama kati ya waliokuwa hai na waliokufa, nayo tauni ikakoma.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe mate mo e moʻui; pea naʻe taʻofi ai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.
49 Lakini walikufa watu 14,700 kutokana na tauni hiyo, licha ya wale waliokuwa wamekufa kwa sababu ya Kora.
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha ko e tokotaha mano mo e toko fā afe ma toko fitungeau, mo kinautolu naʻe mate ʻi he meʻa ʻa Kola.
50 Ndipo Aroni akamrudia Mose kwenye mlango wa Hema la Kukutania, kwa maana tauni ilikuwa imekoma.
Pea naʻe foki ʻa ʻElone kia Mōsese ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea naʻe taʻofi ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.
