Nomipā 16
1 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:
And Core the son of Isaar the son of Caath the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron, sons of Eliab, and Aun the son of Phaleth the son of Ruben, spoke;
2 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:
and rose up before Moses, and two hundred and fifty men of the sons of Israel, chiefs of the assembly, chosen councillors, and men of renown.
3 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?”
They rose up against Moses and Aaron, and said, Let it be enough for you that all the congregation [are] holy, and the Lord [is] among them; and why do you set up yourselves against the congregation of the Lord?
4 Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻa Mōsese, naʻe tō fakafoʻohifo ia ki hono mata:
And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face.
5 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.
And he spoke to Core and all his assembly, saying, God has visited and known those that are his and who are holy, and has brought them to himself; and whom he has chosen for himself, he has brought to himself.
6 Mou fai eni; Toʻo homou ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, ʻa Kola, mo hono kakai kotoa pē;
This do you: take to yourselves censers, Core and all his company;
7 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.”
and put fire on them, and put incense on them before the Lord to-morrow; and it shall come to pass that the man whom the Lord has chosen, he shall be holy: let it be enough for you, you sons of Levi.
8 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Kola, “ʻOku ou kole atu kiate kimoutolu ke mou fanongo mai, ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Livai:
And Moses said to Core, Listen to me, you sons of Levi.
9 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?
Is it a little thing for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, and brought you near to himself to minister in the services of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the tabernacle to minister for them?
10 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?
And he has brought you near and all your brethren the sons of Levi with you, and do you seek to be priests also?
11 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?”
Thus [it is with] you and all your congregation which is gathered together against God: and who is Aaron, that you murmur against him?
12 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:
And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not go up.
13 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?
Is it a little thing that you have brought us up to a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, [and] that you altogether rule over us?
14 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.”
You are a prince, and have you brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and have you given us an inheritance of land and vineyards? would you have put out the eyes of those men? we will not go up.
15 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.”
And Moses was exceeding indignant, and said to the Lord, Do you take no heed to their sacrifice: I have not taken away the desire of any one of them, neither have I hurt any one of them.
16 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:
And Moses said to Core, Sanctify your company, and be ready before the Lord, you and Aaron and they, to-morrow.
17 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.”
And take each man his censer, and you shall put incense upon them, and shall bring each one his censer before the Lord, two hundred and fifty censers, and you and Aaron shall bring each his censer.
18 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.
And each man took his censer, and they put on them fire, and laid incense on them; and Moses and Aaron stood by the doors of the tabernacle of witness.
19 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.
And Core raised up against them all his company by the door of the tabernacle of witness; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.
20 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
21 “Fakamavahe ʻakimoua mei he kakai ni, koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha leva ʻakinautolu.”
Separate your selves from the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them at once.
22 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?”
And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of spirits and of all flesh, if one man has sinned, [shall] the wrath of the Lord [be] upon the whole congregation?
23 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
24 “Ke ke lea ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, Mou ʻalu atu ke ʻatā mei he fale fehikitaki ʻo Kola, mo Tatani, mo ʻEpilami.”
Speak to the congregation, saying, Depart from the company of Core round about.
25 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Mōsese ʻo ʻalu kia Tatani mo ʻEpilami; pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli.
And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiron, and all the elders of Israel went with him.
26 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.”
And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Separate yourselves from the tents of these stubborn men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, lest you be consumed with them in all their sin.
27 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.
And they stood aloof from the tent of Core round about; and Dathan and Abiron went forth and stood by the doors of their tents, and their wives and their children and their store.
28 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.
And Moses said, Hereby shall you know that the Lord has sent me to perform all these works, that [I have] not [done them] of myself.
29 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.
If these men shall die according to the death of all men, if also their visitation shall be according to the visitation of all men, then the Lord has not sent me.
30 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 h7585)
But if the Lord shall show by a wonder, and the earth shall open her mouth and swallow them up, and their houses, and their tents, and all that belongs to them, and they shall go down alive into Hades, then you shall know that these men have provoked the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
31 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻa ʻene fakahā ʻae ngaahi lea ni, naʻe mafahi ʻae kelekele ʻi lalo ʻiate kinautolu:
And when he ceased speaking all these words, the ground clave asunder beneath them.
32 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.
And the ground opened, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that were with Core, and their cattle.
33 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 h7585)
And they went down and all that they had, alive into Hades; and the ground covered them, and they perished from the midst of the congregation. (Sheol h7585)
34 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.”
And all Israel round about them fled from the sound of them, for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also].
35 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.
And fire went forth from the Lord, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
36 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
And the Lord said to Moses,
37 “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.
and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, Take up the brazen censers out of the midst of the men that have been burnt, and scatter the strange fire yonder, for they have sanctified the censers
38 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.”
of these sinners against their own souls, and do you make them beaten plates a covering to the altar, because they were brought before the Lord and hallowed; and they became a sign to the children of Israel.
39 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:
And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest took the brazen censers, which the men who had been burnt brought near, and they put them as a covering on the altar:
40 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.
a memorial to the children of Israel that no stranger might draw near, who is not of the seed of Aaron, to offer incense before the Lord; so he shall not be as Core and as they that conspired with him, as the Lord spoke to him by the hand of Moses.
41 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.”
And the children of Israel murmured the next day against Moses and Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of the Lord.
42 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.
And it came to pass when the congregation combined against Moses and Aaron, that they ran impetuously to the tabernacle of witness; and the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
43 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone ki he matafale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
And Moses and Aaron went in, in front of the tabernacle of witness.
44 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
45 “Mo ʻalu hake ʻi he kakai ni, koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha leva ʻakinautolu.” Pea naʻa na tō foʻohifo ki hona mata.
Depart out of the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them at once: and they fell upon their faces.
46 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.”
And Moses said to Aaron, Take a censer, and put on it fire from the altar, and put incense on it, and carry it away quickly into the camp, and make atonement for them; for wrath is gone forth from the presence of the Lord, it has begun to destroy the people.
47 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.
And Aaron took as Moses spoke to him, and ran among the congregation, for already the plague had begun among the people; and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
48 Pea naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe mate mo e moʻui; pea naʻe taʻofi ai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.
And he stood between the dead and the living, and the plague ceased.
49 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.
And they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those that died on account of Core.
50 Pea naʻe foki ʻa ʻElone kia Mōsese ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea naʻe taʻofi ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.
And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of witness, and the plague ceased.
