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.
Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi tried to take over leadership, along with Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On, son of Peleth, who were from the tribe of Reuben.
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.
They rebelled against Moses, and were joined by 250 well-respected Israelite leaders and members of 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 joined together in opposition to Moses and Aaron, telling them, “You've taken too much power for yourselves! Every one of the Israelites is holy, and the Lord is among them. So why do you set yourselves above the Lord's assembly?”
4 Nígbà tí Mose gbọ́ èyí, ó dojúbolẹ̀,
When Moses heard what they were saying, he fell facedown on the ground.
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 told Korah and all those with him, “In the morning the Lord is going to make it clear who is his and who is holy, and allow that person to approach him. He will only allow whoever he chooses to approach him.
6 Kí Kora àti gbogbo ẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀ ṣe èyí, ẹ mú àwo tùràrí.
This is what you, Korah, and everyone with you are going to do. Take some incense burners,
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 put incense in them and set it on fire in the presence of the Lord. Then the man the Lord chooses is the one who is holy. It is you Levites who are taking too much power for yourselves!”
8 Mose sì tún sọ fún Kora pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ báyìí o, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Lefi!
Moses also told Korah, “Listen, you Levites!
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?
Do you think it's something insignificant that the God of Israel chose you from all the other Israelites and allowed you to approach him and carry out the work in the Lord's Tabernacle, to stand before the Israelites and serve 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 allowed you the privilege of approaching him, Korah, you and all the other Levites, but now you want to have 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?”
So in reality you and those who have joined you are fighting against the Lord—because who is Aaron that you should complain about him?”
12 Mose sì ránṣẹ́ sí Datani àti Abiramu àwọn ọmọ Eliabu. Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n wí pé, “Àwa kò ní í wá!
Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they replied, “We're not going to appear before you!
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?
Haven't you done enough by taking us away from a land flowing with milk and honey in order to kill us out here in the desert? Do you have to make yourself a dictator as well, someone to rule 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!”
On top of that you haven't taken us to a land flowing with milk and honey or given us fields and vineyards to own. Do you really think you can fool everyone? No, we will not attend!”
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!”
Moses got really angry and said to the Lord, “Don't accept their offerings. I have never taken even a donkey from them or treated any of them badly.”
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.
Moses told Korah, “You and all those who have joined you must appear before the Lord tomorrow—all of you and Aaron too.
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 one will take his incense burner, put incense in it, and offer it before the Lord. All 250 of you will use your incense burners and Aaron will 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 one took his incense burner, put incense in it, set it on fire, and stood together 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 all his rebellious group at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the Lord's glory appeared before the whole congregation.
20 Olúwa sì sọ fún Mose àti Aaroni pé,
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
21 “Ẹ ya ara yín sọ́tọ̀ kúrò láàrín ìjọ wọ̀nyí, kí ń ba à le pa wọ́n run lẹ́ẹ̀kan náà.”
“Step away from these Israelites and I will destroy them right away.”
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 on the ground said, “God—God of everything that lives—when it's just one man who sins, do you have to be angry with the everybody?”
23 Olúwa tún sọ fún Mose pé,
Then the Lord told Moses,
24 “Sọ fún ìjọ ènìyàn pé, ‘Kí wọ́n jìnnà sí àgọ́ Kora, Datani àti Abiramu.’”
“Tell the people to move away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Mose sì dìde lọ bá Datani àti Abiramu àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli sì tẹ̀lé.
So Moses went over to Dathan and Abiram, and the Israelite 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.”
He ordered the people, “Move away from the tents of these wicked men and don't touch anything that belongs to them, otherwise you will be destroyed along with them in 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.
The people moved away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrances to their tents along with their wives, children and little ones.
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.
Moses said, “This is how you will know that the Lord did send me to carry out everything I've done, for it wasn't anything I thought up.
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, experiencing the destiny of every human being, then the Lord didn't 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 h7585)
But if the Lord does something totally different, and the earth opens up and swallows them down along with everything that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have acted with contempt to the Lord.” (Sheol h7585)
31 Bí ó sì ṣe parí ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, ilẹ̀ pín sí méjì nísàlẹ̀ wọn,
Immediately Moses finished saying all this the ground under the rebels split apart,
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 up and swallowed them and their households down, as well as everyone who was there with Korah and everything that belonged to them.
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 h7585)
They went down alive into Sheol with all that they had. The earth closed over them, and they were no more. (Sheol h7585)
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.”
When they heard their cries, all the Israelites nearby ran away, shouting, “Watch out! The earth could swallow us too!”
35 Iná sì jáde láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ó sì run àádọ́ta lé nígba ọkùnrin tí wọ́n mú tùràrí wá.
Fire burst out from the Lord and burned up the 250 men who were offering incense.
36 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
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 collect the holy incense burners from among those who have been burned up, and scatter the coals used for the incense well away from the camp.
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.”
Have the incense burners of those who sinned at the expense of their own lives hammered into metal sheets as a covering for the altar, because they were offered before the Lord, and so have become holy. They will be a reminder to Israelites of what happened.”
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 collected the bronze incense burners used by those who had been burned up, and had them hammered out as a covering for 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.
following the instructions given to him from the Lord through Moses. This was to remind the Israelites that no one who is not a descendant of Aaron should come and offer incense before the Lord, otherwise they could end up like Korah and those with him.
41 Ní ọjọ́ kejì gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kùn sí Mose àti Aaroni pé, “Ẹ ti pa àwọn ènìyàn Olúwa.”
The next day all the Israelites complained to 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 as the people gathered to confront them, Moses and Aaron went over to the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the Lord's glory appeared.
43 Nígbà náà ni Mose àti Aaroni lọ síwájú àgọ́ ìpàdé,
Moses and Aaron went and stood at 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 these people and I will finish them off immediately.” Moses and Aaron fell facedown on the ground.
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 told Aaron, “Put some coals from the altar and some incense in your incense burner. Then run to the people and make them right before the Lord, for the Lord is angry with them and a plague has started.”
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.
Aaron took the incense burner just as Moses had told him and ran into the middle of the assembly. He saw that the plague had started to affect the people so he offered the incense and made the people right with the Lord.
48 Ó dúró láàrín àwọn alààyè àti òkú, àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn náà sì dúró.
He stood between those who had died and those who were still alive, and the plague was stopped.
49 Ṣùgbọ́n àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ti pa ẹgbàá méje ó lé lẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀rin ènìyàn ní àfikún sí àwọn tí ó kú níbi ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ Kora.
However, 14,700 died from the plague in addition to those who'd died because of Korah.
50 Aaroni padà tọ Mose lọ ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé nítorí pé àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn náà ti dúró.
Then Aaron went back to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting because the plague had been stopped.
