Brojevi 16
1 Korah, sin Jisharov, sin Kehatov, sin Levijev, pa Datan i Abiram, sinovi Eliabovi, i On, sin Peletov - potomci Rubenovi -
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 ustanu protiv Mojsija zajedno sa dvjesta pedeset Izraelaca, glavara zajednice, uglednih na skupštini i ljudi na glasu.
They rebelled against Moses, and were joined by 250 well-respected Israelite leaders and members of the assembly.
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 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 Kad to ču Mojsije, pade ničice.
When Moses heard what they were saying, he fell facedown on the ground.
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.
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 Učinite ovo: uzmite kadionike, Korah i sva njegova družina;
This is what you, Korah, and everyone with you are going to do. Take some incense burners,
7 sutra stavite u njih vatre i metnite odozgo tamjana pred Jahvom. Koga Jahve odabere, taj neka bude posvećen. Vi prelazite mjeru, Levijevci!”
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 Potom Mojsije reče Korahu: “Poslušajte, Levijevci!
Moses also told Korah, “Listen, you Levites!
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?
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 Promaknuo je tebe i s tobom svu tvoju braću Levijevce, a vi još tražite i svećeništvo!
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 Ti i sva tvoja družina, dakle, sjatili ste se protiv Jahve; jer što je Aron da protiv njega rogoborite?”
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 Zatim posla Mojsije po Datana i Abirama, sinove Eliabove, ali oni odgovore: “Nećemo doći!
Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they replied, “We're not going to appear before you!
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?
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 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!”
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 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 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 Zatim Mojsije reče Korahu: “Ti i sva tvoja družina stupite sutra pred Jahvu; ti, i oni, i Aron.
Moses told Korah, “You and all those who have joined you must appear before the Lord tomorrow—all of you and Aaron too.
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 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 Svaki uzme svoj kadionik, stavi u nj vatre, onda odozgo metne tamjana i stane s Mojsijem i Aronom kod ulaza u Šator sastanka.
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 Kad, naprama njima, sabra Korah svu zajednicu na ulazu u Šator sastanka, onda se svoj zajednici pokaza slava Jahvina.
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 I reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
21 “Odvojite se od te zajednice da je odmah satrem!”
“Step away from these Israelites and I will destroy them right away.”
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!”
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 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Then the Lord told Moses,
24 “Reci toj zajednici: 'Uklonite se iz okolice prebivališta Koraha, Datana i Abirama!'”
“Tell the people to move away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 Mojsije ustade i pođe k Datanu i Abiramu. Za njim krenuše izraelske starješine.
So Moses went over to Dathan and Abiram, and the Israelite 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 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 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.
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 “Po ovom ćete vidjeti”, reče Mojsije, “da me Jahve poslao da vršim sva ova djela, a da ih ne činim sam od sebe:
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 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, experiencing the destiny of every human being, then the Lord didn't 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 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 A kad on završi sve te riječi, tlo se pod njima raspukne;
Immediately Moses finished saying all this the ground under the rebels split apart,
32 zemlja rastvori svoje ralje i proguta ih s njihovim domovima, sa svim Korahovim ljudima i svim njihovim imanjem.
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 Živi siđu u Šeol, oni i sve njihovo. Onda se nad njima zemlja zatvori i oni iščeznu iz zbora. (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 Na njihov vrisak svi Izraelci što su stajali oko njih pobjegoše govoreći: “Da i nas zemlja ne proguta!”
When they heard their cries, all the Israelites nearby ran away, shouting, “Watch out! The earth could swallow us too!”
35 Ali sukne oganj od Jahve te proždre dvjesta i pedeset ljudi koji su prinosili tamjan.
Fire burst out from the Lord and burned up the 250 men who were offering incense.
36 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Then the Lord said to Moses,
37 “Kaži Eleazaru, sinu svećenika Arona, da ukloni kadionike - jer su posvećeni - iz toga zgarišta, a neposvećenu vatru iz njih neka razaspe podalje.
“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 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!”
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 Tako svećenik Eleazar uze kadionike od tuča što su ih prinosili oni koji izgorješe; prekovaše ih u pločice za oblaganje žrtvenika.
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 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.
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 Sutradan je sva zajednica rogoborila protiv Mojsija i Arona. “Pobili ste Jahvin narod!” - govorili su.
The next day all the Israelites complained to Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the Lord'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.
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 Tada Mojsije i Aron odoše pred Šator sastanka.
Moses and Aaron went and stood at the front of the Tent of Meeting,
44 I Jahve reče Mojsiju:
and the Lord said to Moses,
45 “Udaljite se od te zajednice; u tili ću je čas uništiti!” Oni padoše ničice.
“Get away from these people and I will finish them off immediately.” Moses and Aaron fell facedown on 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 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 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.
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 Zatim stade između mrtvih i živih i zlo se ustavi.
He stood between those who had died and those who were still alive, and the plague was stopped.
49 Bilo ih je mrtvih od toga zla četrnaest tisuća i sedam stotina, osim onih koji su poginuli zbog Koraha.
However, 14,700 died from the plague in addition to those who'd died because of Korah.
50 Aron se vrati k Mojsiju na ulaz u Šator sastanka: pomor se ustavi.
Then Aaron went back to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting because the plague had been stopped.
