< Numbers 16 >
1 Kora ọmọ Isari, ọmọ Kohati, ọmọ Lefi àwọn ọmọ Reubeni: Datani àti Abiramu, àwọn ọmọ Eliabu, àti Oni ọmọ Peleti mú ènìyàn mọ́ra.
Now Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath son of Levi, along with some Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—conducted
2 Wọ́n sì dìde sí Mose, pẹ̀lú àádọ́ta lé nígba ọkùnrin nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ìjòyè nínú ìjọ, àwọn olórúkọ nínú àjọ, àwọn ọkùnrin olókìkí.
a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 men of Israel renowned as leaders of the congregation and representatives in the assembly.
3 Wọ́n kó ara wọn jọ láti tako Mose àti Aaroni, wọ́n sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ ti kọjá ààyè yín, ó tó gẹ́ẹ́! Mímọ́ ni gbogbo ènìyàn, kò sí ẹni tí kò mọ́ láàrín wọn, Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú wọn, nítorí kí wá ni ẹ̀yin ṣe gbé ara yín ga ju ìjọ ènìyàn Olúwa lọ?”
They came together against Moses and Aaron and told them, “You have taken too much upon yourselves! For everyone in the entire congregation is holy, and the LORD is in their midst. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?”
4 Nígbà tí Mose gbọ́ èyí, ó dojúbolẹ̀,
When Moses heard this, he fell facedown.
5 Ó sì sọ fún Kora àti gbogbo ẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ní ọ̀la ni Olúwa yóò fi ẹni tí í ṣe tirẹ̀ àti ẹni tó mọ́ hàn, yóò sì mú kí ẹni náà súnmọ́ òun. Ẹni tí ó bá yàn ni yóò mú kí ó súnmọ́ òun.
Then he said to Korah and all his followers, “Tomorrow morning the LORD will reveal who belongs to Him and who is holy, and He will bring that person near to Himself. The one He chooses, He will bring near to Himself.
6 Kí Kora àti gbogbo ẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀ ṣe èyí, ẹ mú àwo tùràrí.
You, Korah, and all your followers are to do as follows: Take censers,
7 Kí ẹ sì fi iná àti tùràrí sínú rẹ̀ lọ́la níwájú Olúwa, yóò sì ṣe, ọkùnrin tí Olúwa bá yàn òun ni. Ẹ̀yin ọmọ Lefi, ẹ ti kọjá ààyè yín!”
and tomorrow you are to place fire and incense in them in the presence of the LORD. Then the man the LORD chooses will be the one who is holy. It is you sons of Levi who have taken too much upon yourselves!”
8 Mose sì tún sọ fún Kora pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ báyìí o, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Lefi!
Moses also said to Korah, “Now listen, you sons of Levi!
9 Kò ha tọ́ fún yín pé Ọlọ́run Israẹli ti yà yín sọ́tọ̀ lára ìjọ Israẹli yòókù, tó sì mú yín súnmọ́ ara rẹ̀ láti ṣiṣẹ́ nínú àgọ́ Olúwa àti láti dúró ṣiṣẹ́ ìsìn níwájú àwọn ènìyàn?
Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel and brought you near to Himself to perform the work at the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?
10 Ó ti mú àwọn ènìyàn yín tó jẹ́ ọmọ Lefi súnmọ́ ara rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n báyìí ẹ tún ń wá ọnà láti ṣiṣẹ́ àlùfáà.
He has brought you near, you and all your fellow Levites, but you are seeking the priesthood as well.
11 Olúwa ni ìwọ àti gbogbo ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ takò. Ta a ni Aaroni jẹ́ tí ẹ̀yin ó fi kùn sí i?”
Therefore, it is you and all your followers who have conspired against the LORD! As for Aaron, who is he that you should grumble against him?”
12 Mose sì ránṣẹ́ sí Datani àti Abiramu àwọn ọmọ Eliabu. Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n wí pé, “Àwa kò ní í wá!
Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come!
13 Kò ha tó gẹ́ẹ́ pé o ti mú wa jáde láti ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin láti pa wá sínú aginjù yìí? O tún wá fẹ́ sọ ara rẹ di olúwa lé wa lórí bí?
Is it not enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? Must you also appoint yourself as ruler over us?
14 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ìwọ kò sì tí ì mú wa dé ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni o kò sì pín ilẹ̀ ìní àti ọgbà àjàrà. Ìwọ ha fẹ́ sọ wá di ẹrú bí? Rárá o, àwa kì yóò gòkè wá!”
Moreover, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? No, we will not come!”
15 Nígbà náà ni Mose bínú gidigidi, ó sì sọ fún Olúwa pé, “Má ṣe gba ọrẹ wọn, èmi kò gba kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ lọ́wọ́ wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni n kò sì pa ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wọn lára!”
Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, “Do not regard their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”
16 Mose sọ fún Kora pé, “Ìwọ àti ọmọ lẹ́yìn rẹ gbọdọ̀ fi ara hàn níwájú Olúwa lọ́la—gbogbo yín, ìwọ, àwọn ọmọ lẹ́yìn rẹ àti Aaroni.
And Moses said to Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow—you and they and Aaron.
17 Kí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín mú àwo tùràrí, kí ó sì fi tùràrí sínú rẹ̀, kí gbogbo rẹ̀ jẹ́ àádọ́ta lé nígba àwo tùràrí kí ẹ sì ko wá síwájú Olúwa. Ìwọ àti Aaroni yóò mú àwo tùràrí wá pẹ̀lú.”
Each man is to take his censer, place incense in it, and present it before the LORD—250 censers. You and Aaron are to present your censers as well.”
18 Nígbà náà ni oníkálùkù wọn mú àwo tùràrí, wọ́n fi iná àti tùràrí sí i nínú, wọ́n sì dúró sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé, àwọn pẹ̀lú Mose àti Aaroni.
So each man took his censer, put fire and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
19 Nígbà tí Kora kó gbogbo àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀ jọ sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé, ògo Olúwa sì farahan gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn.
When Korah had gathered his whole assembly against them at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole congregation.
20 Olúwa sì sọ fún Mose àti Aaroni pé,
And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
21 “Ẹ ya ara yín sọ́tọ̀ kúrò láàrín ìjọ wọ̀nyí, kí ń ba à le pa wọ́n run lẹ́ẹ̀kan náà.”
“Separate yourselves from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.”
22 Ṣùgbọ́n Mose àti Aaroni dojúbolẹ̀ wọ́n sì kígbe sókè pé, “Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run ẹ̀mí gbogbo ènìyàn, Ìwọ ó wa bínú sí gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn nígbà tó jẹ́ pé ẹnìkan ló ṣẹ̀?”
But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with the whole congregation?”
23 Olúwa tún sọ fún Mose pé,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
24 “Sọ fún ìjọ ènìyàn pé, ‘Kí wọ́n jìnnà sí àgọ́ Kora, Datani àti Abiramu.’”
“Tell the congregation to move away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Mose sì dìde lọ bá Datani àti Abiramu àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli sì tẹ̀lé.
So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 Ó sì kìlọ̀ fún ìjọ ènìyàn pé, “Ẹ kúrò ní àgọ́ àwọn ènìyàn búburú yìí! Ẹ má ṣe fọwọ́ kan ohun kan tí í ṣe tiwọn kí ẹ má ba à parun nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.”
And he warned the congregation, “Move away now from the tents of these wicked men. Do not touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”
27 Àwọn ènìyàn sì sún kúrò ní àgọ́ Kora, Datani àti Abiramu. Datani àti Abiramu jáde, àwọn ìyàwó wọn àti àwọn ọmọ wọn sì dúró sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ wọn.
So they moved away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Meanwhile, Dathan and Abiram had come out and stood at the entrances to their tents with their wives and children and infants.
28 Nígbà náà ni Mose wí pé, “Báyìí ni ẹ ó ṣe mọ̀ pé Olúwa ló rán mi láti ṣe gbogbo iṣẹ́ wọ̀nyí àti pé kì í ṣe ìfẹ́ inú mi ni àwọn ohun tí mò ń ṣe.
Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things, for it was not my own doing:
29 Bí àwọn ènìyàn yìí bá kú bí gbogbo ènìyàn ti ń kú, bí ìrírí wọn kò bá sì yàtọ̀ sí ti àwọn ènìyàn yòókù, a jẹ́ pé kì í ṣe Olúwa ló rán mi.
If these men die a natural death, or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.
30 Ṣùgbọ́n bí Olúwa bá ṣe ohun tuntun, tí ilẹ̀ sì la ẹnu, tó gbé wọn mì, àwọn pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun tí wọ́n ní, tí wọ́n sì wọ inú ibojì wọn lọ láààyè, nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin ó mọ̀ pé àwọn ènìyàn yìí ti kẹ́gàn Olúwa.” (Sheol )
But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them and all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt.” (Sheol )
31 Bí ó sì ṣe parí ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, ilẹ̀ pín sí méjì nísàlẹ̀ wọn,
As soon as Moses had finished saying all this, the ground beneath them split open,
32 ilẹ̀ sì lanu ó sì gbé wọn mì pẹ̀lú gbogbo ará ilé wọn àti àwọn ènìyàn Kora àti gbogbo ohun tí wọ́n ní.
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households—all Korah’s men and all their possessions.
33 Gbogbo wọn sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ sínú ibojì wọn láààyè pẹ̀lú ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ní, ilẹ̀ sì padé mọ́ wọn, wọ́n sì ṣègbé kúrò láàrín ìjọ ènìyàn. (Sheol )
They went down alive into Sheol with all they owned. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly. (Sheol )
34 Gbogbo ènìyàn Israẹli tí ó yí wọn ká sì sálọ tí àwọn yòókù gbọ́ igbe wọn, wọ́n wí pé, “Ilẹ̀ yóò gbé àwa náà mì pẹ̀lú.”
At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The earth may swallow us too!”
35 Iná sì jáde láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ó sì run àádọ́ta lé nígba ọkùnrin tí wọ́n mú tùràrí wá.
And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.
Then the LORD said to Moses,
37 “Sọ fún Eleasari ọmọ Aaroni tí í ṣe àlùfáà, pé kí ó mú àwọn àwo tùràrí jáde kúrò nínú iná nítorí pé wọ́n jẹ́ mímọ́, kí ó sì tan iná náà káàkiri sí ibi tó jìnnà.
“Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the censers from the flames and to scatter the coals far away, because the censers are holy.
38 Èyí ni àwo tùràrí àwọn tí ó kú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn. Kí ẹ gún àwo tùràrí yìí, kí ẹ sì fi ṣe ìbòrí fún pẹpẹ, wọ́n jẹ́ mímọ́ nítorí pé wọ́n ti mú wọn wá síwájú Olúwa. Kí wọ́n jẹ́ àmì fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”
As for the censers of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, hammer them into sheets to overlay the altar, for these were presented before the LORD, and so have become holy. They will serve as a sign to the Israelites.”
39 Eleasari tí í ṣe àlùfáà sì kó gbogbo àwo tùràrí tí àwọn tí ó jóná mú wa, ó gún wọn pọ̀, ó fi ṣe ìbòrí fún pẹpẹ,
So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned up, and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar,
40 gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ṣe sọ láti ẹnu Mose. Èyí yóò jẹ́ ohun ìrántí fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, àlejò yàtọ̀ sí irú-ọmọ Aaroni kò gbọdọ̀ jó tùràrí níwájú Olúwa, ẹni tí ó bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, yóò dàbí Kora àti àwọn ẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀.
just as the LORD commanded him through Moses. This was to be a reminder to the Israelites that no outsider who is not a descendant of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the LORD, lest he become like Korah and his followers.
41 Ní ọjọ́ kejì gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kùn sí Mose àti Aaroni pé, “Ẹ ti pa àwọn ènìyàn Olúwa.”
The next day the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”
42 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn péjọ lòdì sí Mose àti Aaroni, níwájú àgọ́ ìpàdé, lójijì ni ìkùùkuu bolẹ̀, ògo Olúwa sì fi ara hàn.
But when the congregation gathered against them, Moses and Aaron turned toward the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared.
43 Nígbà náà ni Mose àti Aaroni lọ síwájú àgọ́ ìpàdé,
Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting,
44 Olúwa sì sọ fún Mose pé,
and the LORD said to Moses,
45 “Yàgò kúrò láàrín ìjọ ènìyàn yìí, kí ń ba le run wọ́n ní ìṣẹ́jú kan.” Wọ́n sì dojúbolẹ̀.
“Get away from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.” And Moses and Aaron fell facedown.
46 Mose sì sọ fún Aaroni pé, “Mú àwo tùràrí, kí o fi iná sí i lórí pẹpẹ, fi tùràrí sínú rẹ̀, kí o sì tètè mu lọ sí àárín ìjọ ènìyàn láti ṣe ètùtù fún wọn nítorí pé ìbínú Olúwa ti jáde, àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn sì ti bẹ̀rẹ̀.”
Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, place fire from the altar in it, and add incense. Go quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, because wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has begun.”
47 Aaroni ṣe bí Mose ti wí, ó sáré lọ sí àárín àwọn ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ láàrín wọn, ṣùgbọ́n Aaroni fín tùràrí, ó sì ṣe ètùtù fún wọn.
So Aaron took the censer as Moses had ordered and ran into the midst of the assembly. And seeing that the plague had begun among the people, he offered the incense and made atonement for the people.
48 Ó dúró láàrín àwọn alààyè àti òkú, àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn náà sì dúró.
He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was halted.
49 Ṣùgbọ́n àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ti pa ẹgbàá méje ó lé lẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀rin ènìyàn ní àfikún sí àwọn tí ó kú níbi ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ Kora.
But those who died from the plague numbered 14,700, in addition to those who had died on account of Korah.
50 Aaroni padà tọ Mose lọ ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé nítorí pé àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn náà ti dúró.
Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, since the plague had been halted.
