< Numbers 16 >

1 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.
Ary Kora, zanak’ i Jizara, zanak’ i Kehata, zanak’ i Levy, ary Datana sy Abìrama, zanak’ i Eliaba, sy Ona, zanak’ i Peleta, izay samy taranak’ i Robena, dia nandrendri-bahoaka,
2 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.
ka nitsangana teo anatrehan’ i Mosesy izy ireo sy ny Zanak’ Isiraely dimam-polo amby roan-jato, izay samy lohan’ ny fiangonana avokoa, dia olona voafidin’ ny fiangonana sady nanan-daza;
3 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?”
koa niangona hiodina amin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Aoka izay ianareo! fa masìna avokoa ny fiangonana rehetra, sady Jehovah no eo aminy; koa nahoana no dia manandra-tena ho ambonin’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah ianareo?
4 When Moses heard that, he lay facedown.
Ary raha nandre izany Mosesy, dia niankohoka izy
5 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.
ka niteny tamin’ i Kora sy ny namany rehetra nanao hoe: Rahampitso dia hasehon’ i Jehovah izay Azy sy izay masìna ka hampanakekeny Azy; dia izay fidiny no hampanakekeny Azy.
6 Do this, Korah and all your group. Take censers
Izao no ataovy, ry Kora sy ianareo namany rehetra: Makà fitondran’ afo ho anareo rahampitso.
7 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.”
dia asio afo eo anatiny ka asio ditin-kazo manitra eo aminy eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ary ny lehilahy izay fidin’ i Jehovah, dia izy no ho masìna; fa aoka izay ianareo, ry taranak’ i Levy!
8 Again, Moses said to Korah, “Now listen, you descendants of Levi:
Dia hoy koa Mosesy tamin’ i Kora: Henoy, ry taranak’ i Levy:
9 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?
Moa ataonareo ho zavatra kely va ny nampisarahan’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely anareo tamin’ ny fiangonan’ ny Isiraely hitondrany anareo ho akaiky Azy, hanaovanareo ny fanompoam-pivavahana momba ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah sy hitoeranareo eo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana hanompo azy?
10 He has brought you near, and all your kinfolk, the descendants of Levi, with you, yet you are seeking the priesthood also!
Dia napanakekeny Azy ianao sy ny rahalahinao taranak’ i Levy rehetra miaraka aminao, ary mitady ho mpisorona koa va ianareo?
11 That is why you and all your group have gathered together against Yahweh. So why are you complaining about Aaron, who obeys Yahweh?”
Ary noho izany ianao sy ny namanao rehetra dia tafangona hiodina amin’ i Jehovah; fa Arona moa no inona, no imonomononanareo?
12 Then Moses called for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come up.
Ary Mosesy naniraka nampaka an’ i Datana sy Abìrama, zanak’ i Eliaba; fa hoy izy roa lahy: Tsy hiakatra izahay.
13 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!
Moa zavatra kely va ny nitondranao anay niakatra niala tany amin’ izay tany tondra-dronono sy tantely hahafaty anay atỳ an-efitra, no dia manao anao ho lehibenay koa ianao?
14 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.”
Ary koa, ianao tsy nitondra anay ho any amin’ izay tany tondra-dronono sy tantely tsinona, na nanome anay saha sy tanim-boaloboka ho fanananay; hopotsirinao va ny mason’ ireto lehilahy ireto? Tsy hiakatra izahay.
15 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.”
Dia tezitra indrindra Mosesy ka nanao tamin’ i Jehovah hoe: Aza mijery ny fanatiny akory Hianao; tsy naka na dia boriky iray akory aza taminy aho, ary tsy nanisy ratsy na dia tamin’ ny anankiray aminy akory aza.
16 Then Moses said to Korah, “Tomorrow you and all your company must go before Yahweh—you and they, and Aaron.
Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Kora: Aoka ianao sy ny namanao rehetra ho tonga eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah rahampitso, dia ianao sy ireo ary Arona.
17 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.”
Ary samia maka ny fitondrana fony avy ianareo rehetra, ka asio ditin-kazo manitra eo anatiny, ary samia mitondra ny fitondran’ afony avy ianareo rehetra ho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, dia fitondran’ afo dimam-polo amby roan-jato; dia ianao sy Arona samy hitondra ny fitondran’ afony avy.
18 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.
Ary samy naka ny fitondran’ afony avy izy rehetra ka nanisy afo teo anatiny, dia nanisy ditin-kazo manitra teo anatiny; ary nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana izy mbamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona.
19 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.
Ary Kora nanangona ny namany rehetra ho eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana hanohitra azy roa lahy; dia niseho tamin’ ny fiangonana rehetra ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah.
20 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron:
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
21 “Separate yourselves from among this community that I may consume them immediately.”
Mihataha amin’ ity fiangonana ity ianareo handringanako azy amin’ ny indray mipi-maso monja.
22 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?”
Dia niankohoka izy roa lahy ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra ô, Andriamanitry ny fanahin’ ny nofo rehetra, olona iray no nanota, ka ho tezitra amin’ ny fiangonana rehetra va Hianao?
23 Yahweh replied to Moses. He said,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
24 “Speak to the community. Say, 'Get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'”
Mitenena amin’ ny fiangonana, ka lazao hoe: Mihataha tsy hanodidina ny lain’ i Kora sy Datana ary Abìrama.
25 Then Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; the elders of Israel followed him.
Dia nitsangana Mosesy ka nankeo amin’ i Datana sy Abìrama; ary nanaraka azy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely.
26 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.”
Dia niteny tamin’ ny fiangonana izy ka nanao hoe: Mialà amin’ ny lain’ ireo olon-dratsy ireo, ka aza mikasika izay azy akory, fandrao haringana koa ianareo noho ny fahotany rehetra.
27 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.
Dia nihataka ny olona mba tsy ho eo akaikin’ ny lain’ i Kora sy Datana ary Abìrama; ary Datana sy Abìrama nivoaka ka nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny lainy mbamin’ ny vadiny sy ny zananilahy ary ny zanany madinika.
28 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.
Dia hoy Mosesy: Izao no hahafantaranareo fa Jehovah no naniraka ahy hanao ireny asa rehetra ireny, fa tsy avy tamin’ ny saiko izany:
29 If these men die a natural death such as normally happens, then Yahweh has not sent me.
Raha maty toy ny fahafatin’ ny olona rehetra ireo olona ireo, na valiana araka ny famaliana ny olona rehetra izy, dia tsy Jehovah no naniraka ahy.
30 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)
Fa raha hanao zavatra vaovao kosa Jehovah, ka hisokatra ny tany ary hitelina azy mbamin’ izay azy rehetra, ka ho latsaka velona any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita’ izy, dia ho fantatrareo fa efa nandà an’ i Jehovah ireo lehilahy ireo. (Sheol h7585)
31 As soon as Moses finished speaking all these words, the ground opened under those men.
Ary rehefa tapitra voalazany izany teny rehetra izany, dia nivava ny tany izay teo ambaniny;
32 The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their families, and all the people who belonged to Korah, as well as all their possessions.
eny, nisokatra ny tany ka nitelina azy sy ny ankohonany mbamin’ ny olona rehetra izay an’ i Kora ary ny fananany rehetra.
33 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)
Dia latsaka velona ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy mbamin’ izay azy rehetra; ary ny tany dia nikatona taminy, ka fongotra tsy ho amin’ ny fiangonana intsony izy. (Sheol h7585)
34 All Israel around them fled from their cries. They exclaimed, “The earth may swallow us up also!”
Ary ny Isiraely rehetra izay nanodidina azy dia nandositra noho ny fidradradradrany; fa hoy izy: Andrao hitelina antsika koa ny tany.
35 Then fire flashed out from Yahweh and devoured the 250 men who had offered incense.
Ary nisy afo nivoaka avy tamin’ i Jehovah ka nandevona ny lehilahy dimam-polo amby roan-jato izay nanatitra ditin-kazo manitra.
36 Again Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
37 “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.
Mitenena amin’ i Eleazara, zanak’ i Arona mpisorona, mba hotsimponiny eo anatin’ ny may ny fitondran’ afo, ary ny afo dia aelezo lavitra; fa masìna ireny;
38 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.”
ary ny fitondran’ afon’ ireo mpanota nanimba tena ireo dia aoka hatao takelaka manify hapetaka amin’ ny alitara; fa nateriny teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ireny ka masìna; ary ho famantarana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ireny.
39 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,
Ary nalain’ i Eleazara mpisorona ny fitondran’ afo varahina, izay efa nanateran’ ireo olona may ireo, ka nofisahiny ho takelaka hapetaka amin’ ny alitara
40 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.
ho fahatsiarovana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mba tsy hisy olon-kafa afa-tsy ny taranak’ i Arona ihany no hahazo manakaiky handoro ditin-kazo manitra eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; fandrao ho tahaka an’ i Kora sy ny namany izy, dia araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampitondrainy an’ i Mosesy.
41 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.”
Ary nony ampitso dia nimonomonona tamin’ i Mosey sy Arona ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ka nanao hoe: Hianareo efa nahafaty ny olon’ i Jehovah.
42 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,
Ary raha niangona hanome tsiny an’ i Mosesy sy Arona ny fiangonana, dia nijery ny trano-lay fihaonana izy, ka, indro, nanarona azy ny rahona, ary niseho ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah.
43 and Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
Ary Mosesy sy Arona dia nankeo anoloan’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
44 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
45 “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.
Mialà amin’ io fiangonana io handringanako azy amin’ ny indray mipi-maso monja. Dia niankohoka izy roa lahy.
46 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.”
Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Arona: Alao ny fitondran’ afo, ka asio afo avy eo ambonin’ ny alitara izy, dia asio ditin-kazo manitra, ka ento faingana eo amin’ ny fiangonana, ka manaova fanavotana ho azy; fa efa mivoaka avy tamin’ i Jehovah ny fahatezerana, ary efa miantomboka ny areti-mandringana.
47 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.
Dia nalain’ i Arona izany, araka izay nandidian’ i Mosesy, ka nihazakazaka ho eo afovoan’ ny fiangonana izy; ary, indro, efa niantomboka teo amin’ ny olona ny areti-mandringana; ary nandoro ny ditin-kazo manitra teo izy ka nanao fanavotana ho an’ ny olona.
48 Aaron stood between the dead and the living; in this way the plague was stopped.
Dia nijanona teo anelanelan’ ny maty sy ny velona izy, ka dia nitsahatra ny areti-mandringana.
49 Those who died by the plague were 14,700 in number, besides those who had died in the matter of Korah.
Ary izay efa matin’ ny areti-mandringana dia fiton-jato amby efatra arivo sy iray alina, afa-tsy izay efa maty noho ny amin’ i Kora.
50 Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and the plague ended.
Ary Arona niverina ho eo amin’ i Mosesy teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana; ary ny areti-mandringana dia nitsahatra.
