1 Korah, sin Jisharov, sin Kehatov, sin Levijev, pa Datan i Abiram, sinovi Eliabovi, i On, sin Peletov - potomci Rubenovi -
Now Korah son of Izhar son of Kohath son of Levi, along with Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, descendants of Reuben, gathered some men.
2 ustanu protiv Mojsija zajedno sa dvjesta pedeset Izraelaca, glavara zajednice, uglednih na skupštini i ljudi na glasu.
They rose up against Moses, along with other men from the people of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the community who were well-known members in the community.
3 Oni se sjate oko Mojsija i Arona govoreći im: “Vi prelazite mjeru! Sva je zajednica, svi njezini članovi, posvećena i među njima je Jahve. Zašto se onda uzvisujete iznad zajednice Jahvine!”
They assembled themselves together to confront Moses and Aaron. They said to them, “You have gone too far! All the community is set apart, every one of them, and Yahweh is among them. Why do you lift up yourselves above the rest of Yahweh's community?”
4 Kad to ču Mojsije, pade ničice.
When Moses heard that, he lay facedown.
5 Zatim reče Korahu i svoj njegovoj družini: “Sutra će Jahve pokazati tko je njegov i tko je posvećen, kome dopušta da mu se približi. Koga sebi izabere, k sebi će ga i pustiti.
He spoke to Korah and to all those with him, “In the morning Yahweh will make known who belongs to him and who is set apart to him. He will bring that person near to him. The one he chooses he will bring near to himself.
6 Učinite ovo: uzmite kadionike, Korah i sva njegova družina;
Do this, Korah and all your group. Take censers
7 sutra stavite u njih vatre i metnite odozgo tamjana pred Jahvom. Koga Jahve odabere, taj neka bude posvećen. Vi prelazite mjeru, Levijevci!”
tomorrow and put fire and incense in them before Yahweh. The one whom Yahweh chooses, that man will be set apart to Yahweh. You have gone too far, you descendants of Levi.”
8 Potom Mojsije reče Korahu: “Poslušajte, Levijevci!
Again, Moses said to Korah, “Now listen, you descendants of Levi:
9 Zar vam je malo što vas je Bog Izraelov izdvojio iz Izraelove zajednice da vas približi k sebi te da vršite službu u Jahvinu prebivalištu i da stojite pred zajednicom služeći joj?
is it a small thing for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the community of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do work in Yahweh's tabernacle, and to stand before the community to serve them?
10 Promaknuo je tebe i s tobom svu tvoju braću Levijevce, a vi još tražite i svećeništvo!
He has brought you near, and all your kinfolk, the descendants of Levi, with you, yet you are seeking the priesthood also!
11 Ti i sva tvoja družina, dakle, sjatili ste se protiv Jahve; jer što je Aron da protiv njega rogoborite?”
That is why you and all your group have gathered together against Yahweh. So why are you complaining about Aaron, who obeys Yahweh?”
12 Zatim posla Mojsije po Datana i Abirama, sinove Eliabove, ali oni odgovore: “Nećemo doći!
Then Moses called for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come up.
13 Zar je malo što si nas odveo iz zemlje kojom teče med i mlijeko da nas pobiješ u ovoj pustinji, pa hoćeš da nasilno zagospodariš nad nama?
Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness? Now you want to make yourself ruler over us!
14 Nisi nas uveo u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko i nisi nam dao u posjed njive i vinograde! Misliš li iskopati oči ovim ljudima? Nećemo doći!”
In addition, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us the fields and vineyards as an inheritance. Now do you want to blind us with empty promises? We will not come to you.”
15 Mojsije se vrlo razljuti i reče Jahvi: “Ne obaziri se na njihovu prinosnicu! Ni jednoga njihova magarca nisam prisvojio niti sam ijednoga od njih oštetio.”
Moses was very angry and said to Yahweh, “Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, and I have not harmed any of them.”
16 Zatim Mojsije reče Korahu: “Ti i sva tvoja družina stupite sutra pred Jahvu; ti, i oni, i Aron.
Then Moses said to Korah, “Tomorrow you and all your company must go before Yahweh—you and they, and Aaron.
17 Neka svaki uzme svoj kadionik, stavi u nj tamjana i neka svaki donese svoj kadionik pred Jahvu - dvjesta i pedeset kadionika. A i ti i Aron donesite svaki svoj kadionik.”
Each of you must take his censer and put incense in it. Then each man must bring before Yahweh his censer, two hundred and fifty censers. You and Aaron, also, must each bring your censer.”
18 Svaki uzme svoj kadionik, stavi u nj vatre, onda odozgo metne tamjana i stane s Mojsijem i Aronom kod ulaza u Šator sastanka.
So every man took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense in it, and stood at the entrance to the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
19 Kad, naprama njima, sabra Korah svu zajednicu na ulazu u Šator sastanka, onda se svoj zajednici pokaza slava Jahvina.
Korah assembled all the community against Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and Yahweh's glory appeared to all the community.
20 I reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron:
21 “Odvojite se od te zajednice da je odmah satrem!”
“Separate yourselves from among this community that I may consume them immediately.”
22 Oni popadoše ničice i povikaše: “Bože! Bože životnog duha u svakome tijelu! Zar ćeš se razgnjeviti na svu zajednicu kad je samo jedan sagriješio!”
Moses and Aaron lay facedown and said, “God, the God of the spirits of all humanity, if one man sins, must you be angry with all the community?”
23 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Yahweh replied to Moses. He said,
24 “Reci toj zajednici: 'Uklonite se iz okolice prebivališta Koraha, Datana i Abirama!'”
“Speak to the community. Say, 'Get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'”
25 Mojsije ustade i pođe k Datanu i Abiramu. Za njim krenuše izraelske starješine.
Then Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; the elders of Israel followed him.
26 Zatim ovako progovori zajednici: “Odstupite od šatora tih opakih ljudi! Ne dotičite se ničega što je njihovo, da ne budete uništeni zbog svih njihovih grijeha.”
He spoke to the community and said, “Now leave the tents of these wicked men and touch nothing of theirs, or you will be consumed by all their sins.”
27 Tako se oni udalje iz okolice prebivališta Korahova, Datanova i Abiramova. Uto izađu Datan i Abiram te stanu na ulazu svojih šatora sa svojim ženama, svojim sinovima i svojom nejačadi.
So the community on every side of the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram left them. Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance to their tents, with their wives, sons, and their little ones.
28 “Po ovom ćete vidjeti”, reče Mojsije, “da me Jahve poslao da vršim sva ova djela, a da ih ne činim sam od sebe:
Then Moses said, “By this you will know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own accord.
29 ako ovi ljudi umru kao što umru i svi ljudi; ako ih pohodi sudbina kakva pohodi sve ljude, onda me Jahve nije poslao.
If these men die a natural death such as normally happens, then Yahweh has not sent me.
30 Ali ako Jahve učini nečuveno: ako zemlja rastvori svoje ralje i proguta ih sa svim što je njihovo te živi siđu u Šeol, onda znajte da su ovi ljudi prezreli Jahvu.” (Sheol h7585)
But if Yahweh creates something new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that they possess, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you must understand that these men have despised Yahweh.” (Sheol h7585)
31 A kad on završi sve te riječi, tlo se pod njima raspukne;
As soon as Moses finished speaking all these words, the ground opened under those men.
32 zemlja rastvori svoje ralje i proguta ih s njihovim domovima, sa svim Korahovim ljudima i svim njihovim imanjem.
The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their families, and all the people who belonged to Korah, as well as all their possessions.
33 Živi siđu u Šeol, oni i sve njihovo. Onda se nad njima zemlja zatvori i oni iščeznu iz zbora. (Sheol h7585)
So they and all that they possessed went down alive into Sheol. The earth closed over them, and they perished from among the community. (Sheol h7585)
34 Na njihov vrisak svi Izraelci što su stajali oko njih pobjegoše govoreći: “Da i nas zemlja ne proguta!”
All Israel around them fled from their cries. They exclaimed, “The earth may swallow us up also!”
35 Ali sukne oganj od Jahve te proždre dvjesta i pedeset ljudi koji su prinosili tamjan.
Then fire flashed out from Yahweh and devoured the 250 men who had offered incense.
36 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Again Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
37 “Kaži Eleazaru, sinu svećenika Arona, da ukloni kadionike - jer su posvećeni - iz toga zgarišta, a neposvećenu vatru iz njih neka razaspe podalje.
“Speak to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest and let him take up the censers out of the flames, for the censers are set apart to me. Then let him scatter the burning coals at a distance.
38 Kadionici onih koji su sagriješili i grijehom život pokopali neka se prekuju u pločice za oblaganje žrtvenika. Doneseni su, naime, pred Jahvu, pa su posvećeni. Neka budu opomenom Izraelcima!”
Take the censers of those who lost their lives because of their sin. Let them be made into hammered plates as a covering over the altar. Those men did offer them before me, so they are set apart to me. They will be a sign of my presence to the people of Israel.”
39 Tako svećenik Eleazar uze kadionike od tuča što su ih prinosili oni koji izgorješe; prekovaše ih u pločice za oblaganje žrtvenika.
Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers that had been used by the men who were burned up, and they were hammered out into a covering for the altar,
40 One su opomena Izraelcima da se nitko nepozvan - nitko tko nije od Aronova potomstva - ne smije približiti da pali tamjan pred Jahvom, kako mu se ne bi dogodilo kao Korahu i njegovoj družini, prema onom što je kazao Jahve po Mojsiju.
to be a reminder to the people of Israel, so that no outsider who was not descended from Aaron should come up to burn incense before Yahweh, so they might not become like Korah and his group—just as Yahweh had commanded through Moses.
41 Sutradan je sva zajednica rogoborila protiv Mojsija i Arona. “Pobili ste Jahvin narod!” - govorili su.
But the next morning all the community of the people of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron. They said, “You have killed Yahweh's people.”
42 Dok se zajednica skupljala protiv Mojsija i Arona, oni se okrenuše prema Šatoru sastanka, i gle! oblak ga prekri i slava se Jahvina pokaza.
Then it happened, when the community had assembled against Moses and Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting and, behold, the cloud was covering it. Yahweh's glory appeared,
43 Tada Mojsije i Aron odoše pred Šator sastanka.
and Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
44 I Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
45 “Udaljite se od te zajednice; u tili ću je čas uništiti!” Oni padoše ničice.
“Go away from in front of this community so that I may consume them immediately.” Then Moses and Aaron lay down with their faces to the ground.
46 Zatim Mojsije reče Aronu: “Uzmi kadionik, stavi u nj vatre sa žrtvenika, metni tamjana, a onda se žuri do zajednice da obaviš nad njom obred pomirenja. Gnjev je Jahvin već izbio i zlo je počelo!”
Moses said to Aaron, “Take the censer, put fire in it from off the altar, put incense in it, carry it quickly to the community, and make atonement for them, because anger is coming from Yahweh. The plague has begun.”
47 Aron uze što mu je Mojsije rekao te otrča usred zbora, a kad tamo: pomor među narodom već počeo. Stavi tamjana te obavi obred pomirenja nad narodom.
So Aaron did as Moses directed. He ran into the middle of the community. The plague had quickly started to spread among the people, so he put in the incense and made atonement for the people.
48 Zatim stade između mrtvih i živih i zlo se ustavi.
Aaron stood between the dead and the living; in this way the plague was stopped.
49 Bilo ih je mrtvih od toga zla četrnaest tisuća i sedam stotina, osim onih koji su poginuli zbog Koraha.
Those who died by the plague were 14,700 in number, besides those who had died in the matter of Korah.
50 Aron se vrati k Mojsiju na ulaz u Šator sastanka: pomor se ustavi.
Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and the plague ended.
