Numbers 16
1 Nowe Korah the sonne of Izhar, the sonne of Kohath, the sonne of Leui went apart with Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab, and On the sonne of Peleth, the sonnes of Reuben:
利未的曾孫、哥轄的孫子、以斯哈的兒子可拉，和呂便子孫中以利押的兒子大坍、亞比蘭，與比勒的兒子安，
2 And they rose vp against Moses, with certaine of the children of Israel, two hundreth and fiftie captaines of the assemblie, famous in the Congregation, and men of renoume,
並以色列會中的二百五十個首領，就是有名望選入會中的人，在摩西面前一同起來，
3 Who gathered themselues together against Moses, and against Aaron, and sayde vnto them, Ye take too much vpon you, seeing all the Congregation is holie, euery one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherfore then lift ye your selues aboue the Congregation of the Lord?
聚集攻擊摩西、亞倫，說：「你們擅自專權！全會眾個個既是聖潔，耶和華也在他們中間，你們為甚麼自高，超過耶和華的會眾呢？」
4 But when Moses heard it, hee fell vpon his face,
摩西聽見這話就俯伏在地，
5 And spake to Korah and vnto all his companie, saying, To morow the Lord will shew who is his, and who is holy, and who ought to approche neere vnto him: and whom he hath chosen, hee will cause to come neere to him.
對可拉和他一黨的人說：「到了早晨，耶和華必指示誰是屬他的，誰是聖潔的，就叫誰親近他；他所揀選的是誰，必叫誰親近他。
6 This doe therefore, Take you censers, both Korah, and all his companie,
可拉啊，你們要這樣行，你和你的一黨要拿香爐來。
7 And put fire therein, and put incense in the before the Lord to morowe: and the man whome the Lord doeth chuse, the same shalbe holie: ye take too much vpon you, ye sonnes of Leui.
明日，在耶和華面前，把火盛在爐中，把香放在其上。耶和華揀選誰，誰就為聖潔。你們這利未的子孫擅自專權了！」
8 Againe Moses saide vnto Korah, Heare, I pray you, ye sonnes of Leui.
摩西又對可拉說：「利未的子孫哪，你們聽我說！
9 Seemeth it a small thing vnto you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel, to take you neere to himselfe, to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the Congregation and to minister vnto them?
以色列的上帝從以色列會中將你們分別出來，使你們親近他，辦耶和華帳幕的事，並站在會眾面前替他們當差。
10 He hath also taken thee to him, and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with thee, and seeke ye the office of the Priest also?
耶和華又使你和你一切弟兄－利未的子孫－一同親近他，這豈為小事？你們還要求祭司的職任嗎？
11 For which cause, thou, and all thy companie are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmure against him?
你和你一黨的人聚集是要攻擊耶和華。亞倫算甚麼，你們竟向他發怨言呢？」
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab: who answered, We will not come vp.
摩西打發人去召以利押的兒子大坍、亞比蘭。他們說：「我們不上去！
13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought vs out of a lande that floweth with milke and honie, to kill vs in the wildernesse, except thou make thy selfe lord and ruler ouer vs also?
你將我們從流奶與蜜之地領上來，要在曠野殺我們，這豈為小事？你還要自立為王轄管我們嗎？
14 Also thou hast not brought vs vnto a land that floweth with milke and honie, neither giuen vs inheritance of fieldes and vineyardes: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come vp.
並且你沒有將我們領到流奶與蜜之地，也沒有把田地和葡萄園給我們為業。難道你要剜這些人的眼睛嗎？我們不上去！」
15 Then Moses waxed verie angry, and saide vnto the Lord, Looke not vnto their offring: I haue not taken so much as an asse from them, neither haue I hurt any of them.
摩西就甚發怒，對耶和華說：「求你不要享受他們的供物。我並沒有奪過他們一匹驢，也沒有害過他們一個人。」
16 And Moses said vnto Korah, Bee thou and al thy companie before the Lord: both thou, they, and Aaron to morowe:
摩西對可拉說：「明天，你和你一黨的人，並亞倫，都要站在耶和華面前；
17 And take euery man his censor, and put incense in them, and bring ye euery man his censor before the Lord, two hundreth and fiftie censors: thou also and Aaron, euery one his censor.
各人要拿一個香爐，共二百五十個，把香放在上面，到耶和華面前。你和亞倫也各拿自己的香爐。」
18 So they tooke euery man his censor, and put fire in them, and laide incense thereon, and stoode in the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation with Moses and Aaron.
於是他們各人拿一個香爐，盛上火，加上香，同摩西、亞倫站在會幕門前。
19 And Korah gathered all the multitude against them vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: then the glorie of the Lord appeared vnto all the Congregation.
可拉招聚全會眾到會幕門前，要攻擊摩西、亞倫；耶和華的榮光就向全會眾顯現。
20 And the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說：
21 Separate your selues from among this Cogregation, that I may consume them at once.
「你們離開這會眾，我好在轉眼之間把他們滅絕。」
22 And they fell vpon their faces and saide, O God the God of the spirits, of all fleshe, hath not one man onely sinned, and wilt thou bee wroth with all the Congregation?
摩西、亞倫就俯伏在地，說：「上帝，萬人之靈的上帝啊，一人犯罪，你就要向全會眾發怒嗎？」
23 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西說：
24 Speake vnto the Congregation and say, Get you away from about the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.
「你吩咐會眾說：『你們離開可拉、大坍、亞比蘭帳棚的四圍。』」
25 Then Moses rose vp, and went vnto Dathan and Abiram, and the Elders of Israel followed him.
摩西起來，往大坍、亞比蘭那裏去；以色列的長老也隨着他去。
26 And he spake vnto the Congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tentes of these wicked men, and touche nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sinnes.
他吩咐會眾說：「你們離開這惡人的帳棚吧，他們的物件，甚麼都不可摸，恐怕你們陷在他們的罪中，與他們一同消滅。」
27 So they gate them away from the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram on euerie side: and Dathan, and Abiram came out and stood in the doore of their tentes with their wiues, and their sonnes, and their little children.
於是眾人離開可拉、大坍、亞比蘭帳棚的四圍。大坍、亞比蘭帶着妻子、兒女、小孩子，都出來，站在自己的帳棚門口。
28 And Moses saide, Hereby yee shall knowe that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works: for I haue not done them of mine owne minde.
摩西說：「我行的這一切事本不是憑我自己心意行的，乃是耶和華打發我行的，必有證據使你們知道。
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men, the Lord hath not sent me.
這些人死若與世人無異，或是他們所遭的與世人相同，就不是耶和華打發我來的。
30 But if the Lord make a newe thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallowe them vp with all that they haue, and they goe downe quicke into ye pit, then ye shall vnderstand that these men haue prouoked the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
倘若耶和華創作一件新事，使地開口，把他們和一切屬他們的都吞下去，叫他們活活地墜落陰間，你們就明白這些人是藐視耶和華了。」 (Sheol h7585)
31 And assoone as he had made an ende of speaking all these wordes, euen the ground claue asunder that was vnder them,
摩西剛說完了這一切話，他們腳下的地就開了口，
32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them vp, with their families, and all the men that were with Korah, and all their goods.
把他們和他們的家眷，並一切屬可拉的人丁、財物，都吞下去。
33 So they and all that they had, went down aliue into the pit, and the earth couered them: so they perished from among the Congregation. (Sheol h7585)
這樣，他們和一切屬他們的，都活活地墜落陰間；地口在他們上頭照舊合閉，他們就從會中滅亡。 (Sheol h7585)
34 And all Israel that were about them, fled at the crie of them: for they said, Let vs flee, least the earth swalow vs vp.
在他們四圍的以色列眾人聽他們呼號，就都逃跑，說：「恐怕地也把我們吞下去。」
35 But there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundreth and fiftie men that offred the incense.
又有火從耶和華那裏出來，燒滅了那獻香的二百五十個人。
36 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西說：
37 Speake vnto Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest, that he take vp the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire beyond the altar: for they are halowed,
「你吩咐祭司亞倫的兒子以利亞撒從火中撿起那些香爐來，把火撒在別處，因為那些香爐是聖的。
38 The censers, I say, of these sinners, that destroyed themselues: and let them make of them broade plates for a couering of the Altar: for they offered them before the Lord, therefore they shalbe holy, and they shall be a signe vnto the children of Israel.
把那些犯罪、自害己命之人的香爐，叫人錘成片子，用以包壇。那些香爐本是他們在耶和華面前獻過的，所以是聖的，並且可以給以色列人作記號。」
39 Then Eleazar the Priest tooke the brasen censers, which they, that were burnt, had offred, and made broade plates of them for a couering of the Altar.
於是祭司以利亞撒將被燒之人所獻的銅香爐拿來，人就錘出來，用以包壇，
40 It is a remembrance vnto the children of Israel, that no stranger which is not of the seede of Aaron, come neere to offer incense before the Lord, that he be not like Korah and his company, as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses.
給以色列人作紀念，使亞倫後裔之外的人不得近前來在耶和華面前燒香，免得他遭可拉和他一黨所遭的。這乃是照耶和華藉着摩西所吩咐的。
41 But on the morowe all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye haue killed the people of the Lord.
第二天，以色列全會眾都向摩西、亞倫發怨言說：「你們殺了耶和華的百姓了。」
42 And when the Congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, then they turned their faces toward the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and beholde, the cloude couered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
會眾聚集攻擊摩西、亞倫的時候，向會幕觀看，不料，有雲彩遮蓋了，耶和華的榮光顯現。
43 Then Moses and Aaron were come before the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
摩西、亞倫就來到會幕前。
44 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
耶和華吩咐摩西說：
45 Get you vp from among this Congregation: for I wil consume them quickly: then they fell vpon their faces.
「你們離開這會眾，我好在轉眼之間把他們滅絕。」他們二人就俯伏於地。
46 And Moses said vnto Aaron, Take the censer and put fire therein of the Altar, and put therein incense, and goe quickly vnto the Congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord: the plague is begunne.
摩西對亞倫說：「拿你的香爐，把壇上的火盛在其中，又加上香，快快帶到會眾那裏，為他們贖罪；因為有忿怒從耶和華那裏出來，瘟疫已經發作了。」
47 Then Aaron tooke as Moses commanded him, and ranne into the middes of the Congregation, and beholde, the plague was begun among the people, and hee put in incense, and made an atonement for the people.
亞倫照着摩西所說的拿來，跑到會中，不料，瘟疫在百姓中已經發作了。他就加上香，為百姓贖罪。
48 And when hee stoode betweene the dead, and them that were aliue, the plague was stayed.
他站在活人死人中間，瘟疫就止住了。
49 So they died of this plague fourtene thousande and seuen hundreth, beside them that dyed in the conspiracie of Korah.
除了因可拉事情死的以外，遭瘟疫死的，共有一萬四千七百人。
50 And Aaron went againe vnto Moses before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the plague was stayed.
亞倫回到會幕門口，到摩西那裏，瘟疫已經止住了。
