Numbers 16
1 Then, behold, Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and also On the son of Peleth, of the sons of Ruben,
Korah anak Yizhar dari kaum Kehat, suku Lewi, memberontak terhadap Musa. Ia didukung oleh tiga orang dari suku Ruben, yaitu Datan dan Abiram anak-anak Eliab, dan On anak Pelet, dan oleh 250 orang pemimpin terkenal yang dipilih oleh rakyat.
2 rose up against Moses, with two hundred fifty others of the sons of Israel, leading men of the assembly, and who, at the time of a council, would be called by name.
3 And when they had stood against Moses and Aaron, they said: “Let it be sufficient for you that the entire multitude is of holy ones, and that the Lord is among them. Why do you elevate yourselves above the people of the Lord?”
Mereka bersama-sama pergi menghadap Musa dan Harun dan berkata, "Cukuplah itu, Musa! Seluruh umat Israel dikhususkan untuk TUHAN, dan TUHAN ada di tengah-tengah kita sekalian. Tetapi mengapa engkau menganggap dirimu lebih tinggi dari umat TUHAN?"
4 When Moses had heard this, he fell prone on his face.
Mendengar itu, Musa sujud di tanah dan berdoa kepada TUHAN.
5 And speaking to Korah, and to the entire multitude, he said: “In the morning, the Lord will cause it to be known who belongs to him, and which holy ones he will join to himself. And whomever he will choose, they shall be close to him.
Lalu ia berkata kepada Korah dan pengikut-pengikutnya, "Besok pagi TUHAN akan menunjukkan kepada kita siapa kepunyaan-Nya, dan siapa yang dikhususkan bagi-Nya. Orang yang dipilih-Nya akan diperbolehkan-Nya mendekati Dia.
6 Therefore, do this: Each one of you, Korah and all your associates, take your censer,
Besok pagi engkau dan para pengikutmu harus mengambil tempat-tempat api, mengisinya dengan bara api dan dupa, dan membawanya ke mezbah. Baiklah kita lihat nanti siapa di antara kita yang telah dipilih TUHAN. Cukuplah itu, hai orang-orang Lewi!"
7 and drawing fire into it tomorrow, place incense upon it before the Lord. And whomever he will choose, the same shall be holy. You sons of Levi have been raised up greatly.”
8 And he said again to Korah: “Listen, sons of Levi.
Selanjutnya Musa berkata kepada Korah, "Dengarlah, hai orang-orang Lewi!
9 Is it a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from all the people, and has joined you to himself, so that you would serve him in the rituals of the tabernacle, and stand before gatherings of the people, and minister to him?
Apakah kamu pikir ini soal kecil bahwa Allah Israel memilih kamu dari antara orang-orang Israel supaya kamu boleh mendekati Dia, dan bertugas di Kemah-Nya, serta bekerja untuk umat Israel dan melayani mereka?
10 Was the reason that he caused you and all your brothers, the sons of Levi, to approach him, so that you would even claim for yourselves the priesthood too,
Kau, Korah, dan semua orang Lewi sudah mendapat kehormatan itu dari TUHAN--dan sekarang kamu menuntut untuk menjadi imam juga!
11 and so that your entire group would stand against the Lord? For what is Aaron that you should murmur against him?”
Jika engkau dengan pengikut-pengikutmu mengomel terhadap Harun, sesungguhnya kamu melawan TUHAN!"
12 Therefore, Moses sent to call for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, who responded: “We will not come.
Lalu Musa menyuruh memanggil Datan dan Abiram, tetapi mereka berkata, "Kami tak mau datang!
13 Is it a small matter to you, that you have led us away from a land that was flowing with milk and honey, so as to kill us in the desert, unless you could also be a ruler over us?
Belum cukupkah engkau membawa kami keluar dari tanah Mesir yang subur itu untuk membunuh kami di padang gurun ini? Haruskah engkau memerintah kami juga?
14 You have led us, it is true, to a land that flows with streams of milk and honey, and you have given us possession of fields and vineyards. But will you also tear out our eyes? We will not come.”
Sesungguhnya engkau tidak membawa kami ke tanah yang subur, atau memberi kami ladang-ladang dan kebun-kebun anggur menjadi milik pusaka kami! Sekarang engkau mau menipu kami! Tidak, kami tidak mau datang!"
15 And Moses, being very angry, said to the Lord: “Do not look with favor on their sacrifices. You know that I have not accepted from them, at any time, so much as a young donkey, nor have I afflicted any of them.”
Musa marah sekali dan berkata kepada TUHAN, "TUHAN, janganlah menerima persembahan mereka. Tak pernah saya merugikan seorang pun dari mereka; bahkan seekor keledai pun tak pernah saya ambil dari mereka."
16 And he said to Korah: “You and your congregation, stand alone before the Lord, and apart from Aaron, tomorrow.
Lalu kata Musa kepada Korah, "Datanglah besok ke Kemah TUHAN bersama ke-250 pengikutmu. Harun juga akan ada di sana. Kamu harus membawa tempat apimu masing-masing. Taruhlah dupa di dalamnya, lalu persembahkanlah kepada TUHAN."
17 Let each one of you take censers, and place incense in them, offering to the Lord two hundred fifty censers. Let Aaron also hold his censer.”
18 When they had done this, Moses and Aaron stood up,
Maka setiap orang mengambil tempat apinya, mengisinya dengan bara api dan dupa, lalu berdiri di pintu Kemah TUHAN bersama Musa dan Harun.
19 and, having crowded the entire multitude close to them at the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.
Kemudian Korah mengumpulkan seluruh umat dan mereka berdiri berhadapan dengan Musa dan Harun di pintu Kemah TUHAN. Tiba-tiba seluruh umat melihat cahaya kemilau TUHAN.
20 And the Lord, speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun,
21 “Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, so that I may suddenly destroy them.”
"Mundurlah dari orang-orang itu; Aku mau membinasakan mereka sekarang juga."
22 But they fell prone on their faces, and they said, “O most strong One, the God of the spirits of all flesh, should your anger rage against all, for the sin of one?”
Tetapi Musa dan Harun sujud menyembah dan berkata, "Ya Allah, Engkaulah yang memberi kehidupan kepada segala yang hidup. Kalau hanya seorang saja yang berdosa, apakah Engkau marah kepada seluruh umat?"
23 And the Lord said to Moses:
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
24 “Instruct the entire people to separate from the tents of Korah, and Dathan, and Abiram.”
"Suruhlah orang-orang menyingkir dari kemah-kemah Korah, Datan dan Abiram."
25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram. And the elders of Israel followed him,
Lalu Musa dengan diiringi para pemimpin Israel, pergi ke tempat Datan dan Abiram.
26 and he said to the crowd, “Withdraw from the tabernacles of these impious men, and touch nothing which pertains to them, lest you become involved in their sins.”
Musa berkata kepada orang-orang Israel, "Menyingkirlah dari kemah orang-orang jahat ini dan jangan menyentuh apa pun dari milik mereka. Kalau kamu tidak menurut, kamu akan dibinasakan bersama mereka karena dosa-dosa mereka."
27 And when they had withdrawn from their tents all around, Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance of their pavilions, with their wives and children, and with all their associates.
Lalu orang-orang Israel itu menyingkir dari kemah-kemah Korah, Datan dan Abiram. Datan dan Abiram sudah keluar dan sedang berdiri di pintu kemah masing-masing, dengan anak istri mereka.
28 And Moses said: “By this shall you know that the Lord has sent me to do all that you discern, and that I have not brought these things out of my own heart:
Lalu Musa berkata, "Dengan ini kamu akan tahu bahwa TUHAN telah mengutus saya untuk melakukan semuanya ini dan bahwa itu bukan kemauan saya sendiri.
29 If these men pass away by the common death of men, or if they will be visited by a scourge, of a kind by which others are often visited, then the Lord did not send me.
Kalau orang-orang itu mati dengan cara biasa, tanpa hukuman apa-apa dari Allah, itulah tandanya TUHAN tidak mengutus saya.
30 But if the Lord accomplishes something new, so that the earth opens its mouth and swallows them whole, along with everything that belongs to them, and they descend alive into the underworld, then you shall know that they have blasphemed the Lord.” (Sheol h7585)
Tetapi kalau TUHAN melakukan sesuatu yang belum pernah kamu dengar selama ini, dan kalau tanah terbelah untuk menelan mereka beserta segala milik mereka, sehingga mereka masuk hidup-hidup ke dalam dunia orang mati, tahulah kamu bahwa orang-orang itu melawan TUHAN." (Sheol h7585)
31 Therefore, as soon as he had ceased to speak, the earth broke open under their feet.
Segera sesudah Musa selesai berbicara, tanah di bawah kaki mereka terbelah,
32 And opening its mouth, it devoured them with their tabernacles and their entire substance.
dan menelan mereka dengan keluarga mereka serta semua pengikut Korah, dan segala harta benda mereka.
33 And they descended alive, the ground closing around them, into the underworld, and they perished from the midst of the multitude. (Sheol h7585)
Maka terjerumuslah mereka hidup-hidup ke dalam dunia orang mati dengan segala yang mereka miliki. Tanah yang terbelah itu menutup kembali dan mereka hilang lenyap ditelan bumi. (Sheol h7585)
34 Yet truly, all of Israel, which was standing all around, took flight at the clamor of those who were perishing, saying, “Lest perhaps the earth may swallow us whole also.”
Semua orang Israel yang ada di situ melarikan diri ketika mendengar mereka berteriak, "Lari! Nanti kita ditelan bumi!"
35 Then, too, a fire, going forth from the Lord, put to death the two hundred fifty men who were offering the incense.
Lalu TUHAN mendatangkan api yang menghanguskan ke-250 orang yang mempersembahkan dupa itu.
36 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
37 “Instruct Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, to take up the censers which lie in the burning, and to scatter the fire to one side and another, because they were sanctified
"Suruhlah Eleazar anak Imam Harun mengangkat tempat-tempat api dari sisa-sisa kebakaran itu dan menghamburkan abu arangnya ke tempat lain, sebab tempat api itu adalah suci. Barang-barang itu ialah persembahan orang-orang yang telah dihukum mati karena dosanya. Barang-barang itu suci karena telah dipersembahkan di hadapan TUHAN, sebab itu harus ditempa menjadi lempeng-lempeng tipis untuk lapisan luar mezbah. Hal itu akan merupakan peringatan bagi bangsa Israel."
38 in the deaths of these sinners. And let him form them into plates, and affix them to the altar, because incense had been offered in them to the Lord, and they were sanctified, and so that the sons of Israel may discern in them a sign and a memorial.”
39 Therefore, Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, by which those whom the burning devoured had made an offering, and he formed them into plates, affixing them to the altar,
Maka Imam Eleazar mengambil tempat-tempat api itu dan menyuruh orang menempanya menjadi lempeng-lempeng tipis untuk lapisan luar mezbah.
40 so that the sons of Israel would have, thereafter, something to admonish them, lest any stranger, or anyone who is not of the offspring of Aaron, might approach to offer incense to the Lord, and lest he endure what happened to Korah, and to all his congregation, when the Lord spoke to Moses.
Itu merupakan peringatan bagi bangsa Israel bahwa selain keturunan Harun, tidak seorang pun boleh datang ke mezbah untuk membakar dupa bagi TUHAN. Orang yang melanggar peraturan itu akan dibinasakan seperti Korah dan pengikut-pengikutnya. Semuanya itu dilaksanakan seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada Eleazar melalui Musa.
41 Then, the following day, the entire multitude of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: “You have put to death the people of the Lord.”
Keesokan harinya seluruh umat Israel marah-marah terhadap Musa dan Harun. Mereka berkata, "Kamu sudah membunuh umat TUHAN."
42 And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
Sedang mereka berkumpul melawan Musa dan Harun, mereka menoleh ke Kemah TUHAN, dan melihat awan menutupi Kemah itu, lalu tampaklah cahaya kehadiran TUHAN.
43 Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. But after they had entered it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
Musa dan Harun pergi ke muka Kemah TUHAN,
44 And the Lord said to Moses:
lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
45 “Withdraw from the midst of this multitude, and I will destroy them immediately.” And while they were lying on the ground,
"Mundurlah dari orang-orang itu. Aku akan membinasakan mereka di tempat itu juga!" Mereka berdua sujud menyembah,
46 Moses said to Aaron: “Take the censer, and draw fire into it from the altar; place incense upon it, and continue on, quickly, to the people, to pray for them. For already wrath has gone forth from the Lord, and the scourge rages.”
lalu Musa berkata kepada Harun, "Ambillah tempat apimu, isilah dengan bara api dari mezbah dan taruh dupa di atasnya. Bawalah cepat kepada umat dan buatlah upacara pengampunan dosa untuk mereka. Cepat! Kemarahan TUHAN sudah berkobar dan wabah sudah mulai."
47 When Aaron had done this, and he had run into the midst of the multitude, which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense.
Harun melakukan apa yang dikatakan Musa. Ia lari ke tengah-tengah umat yang sedang berkumpul dan sudah mulai kena wabah. Maka Harun menaruh dupa di atas bara api, dan melakukan upacara penghapusan dosa untuk umat.
48 And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the scourge ceased.
Wabah itu berhenti, dan Harun ada di antara orang-orang yang masih hidup dan yang sudah mati.
49 But the number of those who were struck down was fourteen thousand men, and seven hundred, aside from those who had perished in the sedition of Korah.
Yang mati pada waktu itu ada 14.700 orang, tidak termasuk mereka yang mati dalam pemberontakan Korah.
50 And Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, after the destruction quieted.
Setelah wabah itu berhenti, Harun kembali kepada Musa di pintu Kemah TUHAN.
