1 Si Core nga na anak ni Ishar, na anak ni Coath, na anak ni Levi sangpu ni Dathan at ni Abiram na mga anak ni Eliab, at si Hon na anak ni Peleth, na mga anak ni Ruben, ay nagsikuha ng mga tao:
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 At sila'y tumindig sa harap ni Moises, na kasama ng ilang mga anak ni Israel, na dalawang daan at limang pung prinsipe sa kapisanan na tinawag sa kapulungan na mga lalaking bantog:
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 At sila'y nagpupulong laban kay Moises at laban kay Aaron, at sinabi nila sa kanila, Kayo'y kumukuha ng malabis sa inyo, dangang ang buong kapisanan ay banal, bawa't isa sa kanila, at ang Panginoon ay nasa gitna nila: bakit nga kayo'y magmamataas sa kapisanan ng Panginoon?
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 At nang marinig ni Moises, ay nagpatirapa.
When Moses/I heard what they were saying, he/I prostrated himself/myself on the ground.
5 At sinalita niya kay Core at sa kaniyang buong pulutong, na sinasabi, Sa kinaumagahan ay ipakikilala ng Panginoon kung sino ang kaniya, at kung sino ang banal, at kung sino ang palalapitin niya sa kaniya: sa makatuwid baga'y ang piliin ay siyang kaniyang palalapitin sa kaniya.
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 Ito'y inyong gawin; kumuha kayo ng mga suuban, si Core at ang kaniyang buong pulutong;
So Korah, tomorrow you and those who are with you must prepare your pans to burn incense.
7 At lagyan ninyo ng apoy at patungan ninyo ng kamangyan bukas sa harap ng Panginoon: at mangyayari na ang tao na piliin ng Panginoon, ay siyang banal: kayo'y kumukuha ng malabis sa inyo, kayong mga anak ni 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 At sinabi ni Moises kay Core, Dinggin ninyo ngayon, kayong mga anak ni Levi:
Then Moses/I spoke again to Korah. He/I said, “You men who are descendants of Levi, listen to me!
9 Minumunting bagay pa ba ninyo na kayo'y ibinukod ng Dios ng Israel sa kapisanan ng Israel, upang ilapit niya kayo sa kaniya, upang gawin ninyo ang paglilingkod sa tabernakulo ng Panginoon, at upang kayo'y tumayo sa harap ng kapisanan na mangasiwa sa kanila;
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 At inilapit ka niya sangpu ng lahat ng iyong mga kapatid na mga anak ni Levi? at hangarin din naman ninyo ang pagkasaserdote?
Yahweh has brought you, [Korah], and your fellow descendants of Levi, near to himself. Now are you demanding to become priests also?
11 Kaya't ikaw at ang iyong buong pulutong ay napipisan laban sa Panginoon: at si Aaron, ano nga't siya'y inyong inupasala?
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 At ipinatawag ni Moises si Dathan at si Abiram, na mga anak ni Eliab: at kanilang sinabi, Hindi kami sasampa:
Then Moses/I summoned Dathan and Abiram, but [they refused to come]. They [sent a message] saying, “We will not come to you!
13 Munting bagay pa ba na kami ay iyong pinasampa sa isang lupain na binubukalan ng gatas at pulot, upang kami ay patayin sa ilang, kundi napapanginoon ka pa mandin sa amin?
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 Bukod dito'y hindi mo kami dinala sa isang lupain na binubukalan ng gatas at pulot, ni binigyan mo kami ng manang bukid at mga ubasan: dudukitin mo ba ang mga mata ng mga taong ito? hindi kami sasampa.
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 At si Moises ay nag-init na mainam, at sinabi sa Panginoon, Huwag mong pagpitaganan ang kanilang handog: ako'y hindi kumuha ng isang asno sa kanila ni gumawa ng masama sa kanino man sa kanila.
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 At sinabi ni Moises kay Core, Humarap ka at ang iyong buong kapisanan sa Panginoon, ikaw, at sila, at si Aaron, bukas:
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 At kumuha ang bawa't isa ng kaniyang suuban, at lagyan ninyo ng kamangyan, at dalhin ninyo sa harap ng Panginoon, na bawa't isa'y magdala ng kaniyang suuban, na dalawang daan at limang pung suuban; ikaw naman at si Aaron, bawa't isa sa inyo'y may kaniyang suuban.
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 At kinuha ng bawa't isa ang kaniyang suuban, at kanilang nilagyan ng apoy at kanilang pinatungan ng kamangyan, at sila'y tumayo sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan na kasama ni Moises at ni Aaron.
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 At pinisan ni Core ang buong kapisanan laban sa kanila sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan: at ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ay lumitaw sa buong kapisanan.
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 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises at kay Aaron, na sinasabi,
and Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
21 Humiwalay kayo sa gitna ng kapisanang ito, upang aking lipulin sila sa isang sangdali.
“Get away from all these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately!”
22 At sila'y nagpatirapa, at nagsabi, Oh Dios, na Dios ng mga diwa ng lahat ng laman, sa pagkakasala ba ng isang tao ay magagalit ka sa buong kapisanan?
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 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
24 Salitain mo sa kapisanan na iyong sabihin, Lumayo kayo sa palibot ng tabernakulo ni Core, ni Dathan, at ni Abiram.
“[Okay], but tell all the people to get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 At si Moises ay tumayo at naparoon kay Dathan at kay Abiram; at ang mga matanda sa Israel ay sumunod sa kaniya.
So Moses/I stood up and went to the tents of Dathan and Abiram. The Israeli leaders followed him/me.
26 At sinalita ni Moises sa kapisanan na sinasabi, Magsilayo kayo, isinasamo ko sa inyo, sa mga tolda ng masasamang taong ito, at huwag kayong humipo ng anomang bagay nila, baka kayo'y mamatay sa lahat nilang kasalanan.
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 Gayon sila nagsilayo sa tabernakulo ni Core, ni Dathan, at ni Abiram sa lahat ng dako: at si Dathan at si Abiram ay nagsilabas, at nagsitayo sa pintuan ng kanilang mga tolda, at ang kanilang mga asawa, at ang kanilang mga anak, at ang kanilang bata.
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 At sinabi ni Moises, Dito ninyo makikilala na ako'y sinugo ng Panginoon na gawin ang lahat ng mga gawang ito; sapagka't hindi kinatha ng aking sariling pagiisip.
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 Kung ang mga taong ito ay mamatay sa karaniwang kamatayan ng lahat ng tao, o kung sila'y dalawin ayon sa karaniwang pagdalaw sa lahat ng tao; ay hindi nga ako sinugo ng Panginoon.
If these men die in a normal way, then it will be clear that Yahweh did not choose me.
30 Nguni't kung ang Panginoon ay lumikha ng isang bagong bagay, na anopa't ibuka ng lupa ang kaniyang bibig, at sila'y lamunin, sangpu ng buong nauukol sa kanila, at sila'y ibabang mga buhay sa Sheol; ay inyo ngang mapagkikilala na minungkahi ng mga taong ito ang Panginoon. (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 At nangyari, na pagkatapos na masalita niya ang lahat ng salitang ito, na ang lupa na nasa ilalim nila ay bumuka:
As soon as Moses/I said this, the ground split open beneath those men.
32 At ibinuka ng lupa ang kaniyang bibig at nilamon sila, at ang kanilang mga sangbahayan, at ang lahat ng lalake na nauukol kay Core, at lahat ng kanilang pag-aari.
It swallowed them and their families and all those who were standing there with Korah and all of their possessions.
33 Na anopa't sila at lahat ng nauukol sa kanila, ay nababang buhay sa Sheol: at sila'y pinagtikuman ng lupa, at sila'y nalipol sa gitna ng kapisanan. (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 At ang buong Israel na nasa palibot nila ay tumakas sa hiyaw nila; sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Baka pati tayo'y lamunin ng lupa.
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 At apoy ang lumabas na mula sa Panginoon, at nilamon ang dalawang daan at limang pung lalake na naghandog ng kamangyan.
And then a fire from Yahweh came down [from the sky] and burned up the 250 men who were burning the incense!
36 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
37 Salitain mo kay Eleazar na anak ni Aaron na saserdote, na kaniyang kunin ang mga suuban sa sunog, at magkalat ng apoy doon; sapagka't mga banal yaon;
“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 Pati ng mga suuban ng mga makasalanang ito laban sa kanilang sariling buhay, at gawin mo sa kanilang mga laminang pinukpok na pinaka pangtakip sa dambana: sapagka't kanilang inihandog sa harap ng Panginoon: kaya't mga banal: at magiging isang tanda sa mga anak ni 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 At kinuha ni Eleazar na saserdote ang mga tansong suuban na inihandog ng mga nasunog; at kanilang pinukpok na ginawang pinaka pangtakip sa dambana:
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 Upang maging pinakaalaala sa mga anak ni Israel, upang sinomang ibang tao na hindi sa mga anak ni Aaron ay huwag lumapit na magsunog ng kamangyan sa harap ng Panginoon; upang huwag magaya kay Core at sa kaniyang mga kasama: gaya ng sinalita ng Panginoon sa kaniya sa pamamagitan ni Moises.
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 Datapuwa't sa kinabukasan ay inupasala ng buong kapisanan ng mga anak ni Israel si Moises at si Aaron, na sinasabi, Inyong pinatay ang bayan ng Panginoon.
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 At nangyari, nang magpipisan ang kapisanan laban kay Moises at laban kay Aaron, na sila'y tumingin sa dako ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan; at, narito, tinakpan ng ulap at ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ay lumitaw.
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 At si Moises at si Aaron ay naparoon sa tapat ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan.
Aaron and Moses/I went and stood in front of the Sacred Tent.
44 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
45 Lumayo kayo sa gitna ng kapisanang ito, upang aking lipulin sila sa isang sangdali. At sila'y nagpatirapa.
“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 At sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron, Kunin mo ang iyong suuban, at lagyan mo ng apoy mula sa dambana at patungan ng kamangyan, at dalhin mong madali sa kapisanan, at itubos mo sa kanila: sapagka't may galit na lumabas sa harap ng Panginoon; ang salot ay nagpapasimula na.
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 At kinuha ni Aaron gaya ng sinalita ni Moises, at siya'y tumakbo sa gitna ng kapulungan; at, narito, ang salot ay nagpasimula sa gitna ng bayan; at siya'y naglagay ng kamangyan at itinubos sa bayan.
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 At siya'y tumayo sa gitna ng mga patay at ng mga buhay; at ang salot ay tumigil.
He stood between the people who had already died and those who were still alive, and then the plague stopped.
49 Ang nangamatay nga sa salot ay labing apat na libo at pitong daan, bukod pa yaong nangamatay dahil kay Core.
But 14,700 people had already died from that plague/sickness, in addition to the people who died with Korah.
50 At si Aaron ay nagbalik kay Moises sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan: at ang salot ay tumigil.
Then after the plague had ended, Aaron and Moses/I returned to the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
