民数記 16
1 茲にレビの子コハテの子イヅハルの子なるコラおよびルベンの子等なるエリアブの子ダタンとアビラム並にペレテの子オン等相結び
And Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, taketh both Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, sons of Reuben,
2 イスラエルの子孫の會衆の中に選まれて牧伯となれるところの名ある人々二百五十人とともに起てモーセに逆らふ
and they rise up before Moses, with men of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty, princes of the company, called of the convention, men of name,
3 すなはち彼等集りてモーセとアロンに逆ひ之に言けるは汝らはその分を超ゆ會衆みな盡く聖者となりてヱホバその中に在すなるに汝ら尚ヱホバの會衆の上に立つや
and they are assembled against Moses and against Aaron, and say unto them, 'Enough of you! for all the company — all of them [are] holy, and in their midst [is] Jehovah; and wherefore do ye lift yourselves up above the assembly of Jehovah?'
4 モーセこれを聞て俯伏たりしが
And Moses heareth, and falleth on his face,
5 やがてコラとその一切の黨類に言けるは明日ヱホバ己の所屬は誰聖者は誰なるかを示して其者を己に近かせたまはん即ちその選びたまへる者を己に近かせたまふべし
and he speaketh unto Korah, and unto all his company, saying, 'Morning! — and Jehovah is knowing those who are his, and him who is holy, and hath brought near unto Him; even him whom He doth fix on He bringeth near unto Him.
6 汝等かく爲よコラとその黨類よ汝等みな火盤を取り
This do: take to yourselves censers, Korah, and all his company,
7 その中に火をいれその中に香を盛て明日ヱホバの前に至れその時ヱホバの選みたまふ人は聖者たるべしレビの人々よ汝等はその分を超るなり
and put in them fire, and put on them perfume, before Jehovah to-morrow, and it hath been, the man whom Jehovah chooseth, he [is] the holy one; — enough of you, sons of Levi.'
8 モーセまたコラに言けるは汝等レビの子等よ請ふ聽け
And Moses saith unto Korah, 'Hear ye, I pray you, sons of Levi;
9 イスラエルの神汝らをイスラエルの會衆の中より分ち己に近かせてヱホバの幕屋の役事を爲しめ會衆の前に立て之にかはりて勤務をなさしめたまふ是あに汝らにとりて小き事ならんや
is it little to you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the company of Israel to bring you near unto Himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the company to serve them? —
10 神すでに汝と汝の兄弟なるレビの兒孫等を己に近かせたまふに汝らまた祭司とならんことをも求むるや
yea, He doth bring thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee — and ye have sought also the priesthood!
11 汝と汝の黨類は皆これがために集りてヱホバに敵するなりアロンを如何なる者として汝等これに對ひて呟くや
Therefore, thou and all thy company who are met [are] against Jehovah; and Aaron, what [is] he, that ye murmur against him?'
12 かくてモーセ、エリアブの子ダタンとアビラムを呼に遣はしけるに彼等いひけるは我等は上り往じ
And Moses sendeth to call for Dathan and for Abiram sons of Eliab, and they say, 'We do not come up;
13 汝は乳と蜜との流るる地より我らを導き出して曠野に我らを殺さんとす是あに小き事ならんや然るに汝また我等の上に君たらんとす
is it little that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to put us to death in a wilderness that thou also certainly makest thyself prince over us?
14 且また汝は我らを乳と蜜との流るる地にも導きゆかずまた田畝をも葡萄園をも我らに與へて有たしめず汝この人々の目を抉りとらんとするや我等は上りゆかじ
Yea, unto a land flowing with milk and honey thou hast not brought us in, nor dost thou give to us an inheritance of field and vineyard; the eyes of these men dost thou pick out? we do not come up.'
15 是においてモーセおほいに怒りヱホバに申しけるは汝かれらの禮物を顧みたまふ勿れ我はかれらより驢馬一匹をも取しことなくまた彼等を一人も害せしこと無し
And it is very displeasing to Moses, and he saith unto Jehovah, 'Turn not Thou unto their present; not one ass from them have I taken, nor have I afflicted one of them.'
16 斯てモーセ、コラに言けるは汝と汝の黨類みなアロンと偕に明日ヱホバの前に至れ
And Moses saith unto Korah, 'Thou and all thy company, be ye before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow;
17 即ち汝らおのおの火盤を執てその中に香を盛り各人その火盤をヱホバの前に携へいたれその火祭は都合二百五十汝とアロンも各々その火盤を携へいたるべしと
and take ye each his censer, and ye have put on them perfume, and brought near before Jehovah, each his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou and Aaron, each his censer.'
18 彼等すなはち各々火盤を執り火をその中にいれて香をその上に盛りモーセおよびアロンとともに集會の幕屋の門に立り
And they take each his censer, and put on them fire, and lay on them perfume, and they stand at the opening of the tent of meeting, with Moses and Aaron.
19 コラ會衆をことごとく集會の幕屋の門に集めおきてかれら二人に敵せしめんとせしにヱホバの榮光全會衆に顯れ
And Korah assembleth against them all the company unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah is seen by all the company.
20 ヱホバ、モーセとアロンに告て言たまひけるは
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 汝等この會衆を離れよ我これを直に滅さんとすと
'Be ye separated from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;'
22 是においてかれら二人俯伏て言ふ神よ一切の血肉ある者の生命の神よこの一人の者罪を犯したればとて汝全會衆にむかひて怒を發したまふや
and they fall on their faces, and say, 'God, God of the spirits of all flesh — the one man sinneth, and against all the company Thou art wroth!'
23 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
24 汝會衆にむかひてコラとダタンとアビラムの居所の周圍を去れと言へと
'Speak unto the company, saying, Go ye up from round about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'
25 モーセすなはち起あがりてダタンとアビラムの所に往けるがイスラエルの長老等これに從がひいたれり
And Moses riseth, and goeth unto Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel go after him,
26 而してモーセ會衆に告て言けるは汝らこの惡き人々の天幕を離れて去れ彼等の物には何にも捫る勿れ恐くは彼らの諸の罪のために汝らも滅ぼされん
and he speaketh unto the company, saying, 'Turn aside, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and come not against anything that they have, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.'
27 是において人々はコラとダタンとアビラムの居所を離れて四方に去ゆけりまたダタンとアビラムはその妻子ならびに幼兒とともに出てその天幕の門に立り
And they go up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, from round about, and Dathan, and Abiram have come out, standing at the opening of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their infants.
28 モーセやがて言けるは汝等ヱホバがこの諸の事をなさせんとて我を遣したまへる事また我がこれを自分の心にしたがひて行ふにあらざる事を是によりて知べし
And Moses saith, 'By this ye do know that Jehovah hath sent me to do all these works, that [they are] not from my own heart;
29 すなはちこの人々もし一般の人の死るごとくに死に一般の人の罰せらるる如くに罰せられなばヱホバわれを遣したまはざるなり
if according to the death of all men these die — or the charge of all men is charged upon them — Jehovah hath not sent me;
and if a strange thing Jehovah do, and the ground hath opened her mouth and swallowed them, and all that they have, and they have gone down alive to Sheol — then ye have known that these men have despised Jehovah.' (Sheol h7585)
31 モーセこの一切の言をのべ終れる時かれらの下なる土裂け
And it cometh to pass at his finishing speaking all these words, that the ground which [is] under them cleaveth,
32 地その口を開きてかれらとその家族の者ならびにコラに屬する一切の男等と一切の所有品を呑つくせり
and the earth openeth her mouth, and swalloweth them, and their houses, and all the men who [are] for Korah, and all the goods,
and they go down, they, and all that they have, alive to Sheol, and the earth closeth over them, and they perish from the midst of the assembly; (Sheol h7585)
34 その周圍に居たるイスラエル人は皆かれらの叫喊を聞て逃はしり恐くは地われらをも呑つくさんと言り
and all Israel who [are] round about them have fled at their voice, for they said, 'Lest the earth swallow us;'
35 且またヱホバの許より火いでてかの香をそなへたる者二百五十人を燒つくせり
and fire hath come out from Jehovah, and consumeth the two hundred and fifty men bringing near the perfume.
36 時にヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
37 汝祭司アロンの子エレアザルに告てその燃る火の中より彼の火盤を取いださしめその中の火を遠方に傾すてよその火盤は聖なりたればなり
'Say unto Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, and he lifteth up the censers from the midst of the burning, and the fire scatter thou yonder, for they have been hallowed,
38 而してその罪を犯して生命を喪へる者等の火盤は之を濶き展版となして祭壇を包むに用ひよ彼等ヱホバの前にそなへしに因て是は聖なりたればなり斯是はイスラエルの子孫に徴と爲べし
[even] the censers of these sinners against their own souls; and they have made them spread-out plates, a covering for the altar, for they have brought them near before Jehovah, and they are hallowed; and they are become a sign to the sons of Israel.'
39 是において祭司エンアザル彼の燒死されし者等が用ひてそなへたる銅の火盤を取いだしければ之を濶く打展し之をもて祭壇を包み
And Eleazar the priest taketh the brazen censers which they who are burnt had brought near, and they spread them out, a covering for the altar —
40 之をイスラエルの子孫の記念の物と爲り是はアロンの子孫たらざる外人が近りてヱホバの前に香を焚こと無らんため亦かかる人ありてコラとその黨類のごとくにならざらん爲なり是みなヱホバがモーセをもて彼にのたまひし所に依るなり
a memorial to the sons of Israel, so that a stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron doth not draw near to make a perfume before Jehovah, and is not as Korah, and as his company, — as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses to him.
41 その翌日イスラエルの子孫の會衆みなモーセとアロンにむかひて呟き汝等はヱホバの民を殺せりと言り
And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur, on the morrow, against Moses and against Aaron, saying, 'Ye — ye have put to death the people of Jehovah.'
42 會衆集りてモーセとアロンに敵する時集會の幕屋を望み觀に雲ありてこれを覆ひヱホバの榮光顯れをる
And it cometh to pass, in the company being assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they turn towards the tent of meeting, and lo, the cloud hath covered it, and the honour of Jehovah is seen;
43 時にモーセとアロン集會の幕屋の前にいたりけるに
and Moses cometh — Aaron also — unto the front of the tent of meeting.
44 ヱホバ、モーせに言たまひけるは
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
45 汝らこの會衆をはなれて去れ我直にこれをほろぼさんとすと是において彼等二人は俯伏ぬ
'Get you up from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;' and they fall on their faces,
46 斯てモーセ、アロンに言けるは汝火盤を執り壇の火を之にいれ香をその上に盛て速かにこれを會衆の中に持ゆき之がために贖罪を爲せ其はヱホバ震怒を發したまひて疫病すでに始りたればなりと
and Moses saith unto Aaron, 'Take the censer, and put on it fire from off the altar, and place perfume, and go, hasten unto the company, and make atonement for them, for the wrath hath gone out from the presence of Jehovah — the plague hath begun.'
47 アロンすなはちモーセの命ぜしごとくに之を執て會衆の中に奔ゆきけるに疫病すでに民の中に始まり居たれば香を焚て民のために贖罪を爲し
And Aaron taketh as Moses hath spoken, and runneth unto the midst of the assembly, and lo, the plague hath begun among the people; and he giveth the perfume, and maketh atonement for the people,
48 旣に死る者と尚生る者との間に立ければ疫病止まれり
and standeth between the dead and the living, and the plague is restrained;
49 コラの事によりて死たる者の外この疫病に死たる者は一萬四千七百人なりき
and those who die by the plague are fourteen thousand and seven hundred, apart from those who die for the matter of Korah;
50 而してアロンはモーセの許にかへり集會の幕屋の門にいたれり疫病は斯やみぬ
and Aaron turneth back unto Moses, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and the plague hath been restrained.
