¹Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:

¹Quicuan jun li cuînk aj Coré xcßabaß. Laj Coré, aßan li ralal laj Izhar, ri laj Coat ut rixmam laj Leví. Quixkßetkßeti rib rochbeneb laj Datán ut laj Abiram li ralaleb laj Eliab, ut laj On li ralal laj Pelet. Li câhibeb xcomoneb li ralal xcßajol laj Rubén.

²And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:

²Queßxkßetkßeti ribeb chiru laj Moisés rochbeneb cuib ciento riqßuin lajêb roxcßâl laj Israel xcomoneb li xakabanbileb chi taklânc saß xbêneb li tenamit. Naßno ruheb li cuînk aßan.

³And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?

³Queßxchßutub ribeb ut queßcôeb chixcuechßinquil laj Moisés ut laj Aarón. Queßxye reheb: —Xotitzß êriqßuin. Tzßakal li xebânu lâex. Chixjunileb li tenamit santobresinbileb xban li Dios ut li Kâcuaß cuan kiqßuin. ¿Cßaßut nak lâex nequeraj taklânc saß kabên lâo lix tenamit li Kâcuaß? chanqueb.

⁴And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:

⁴Nak laj Moisés quirabi li cßaßru queßxye, quixhupub rib saß chßochß.

⁵And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.

⁵Ut quixye reheb laj Coré ut eb li nequeßoquen chirix: —Chiru li ekßela cuulaj li Kâcuaß tixcßut chiku ani li sicßbil ru ut ani li santobresinbil ut tixqßue li jun aßan chi nachßoc riqßuin. Li ani tixsicß ru li Kâcuaß tixqßue chi nachßoc riqßuin.

⁶This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;

⁶Lâat Coré ut eb lâ cuochben têbânu li cßaßru ninye. Têcßam lê sansar.

⁷And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

⁷Ut cuulaj têcßat li pom chiru li Kâcuaß. Li ani tâsiqßuekß ru cuulaj xban li Kâcuaß, aßanak li santobresinbil. Lâex aj levita, lâex li incßaß yôquex chixbânunquil li us.—

⁸And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

⁸Ut quixye ajcuiß laj Moisés re laj Coré: —Abihomak lâex aj levita.

⁹Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?

⁹¿Ma incßaß ta biß tzßakal riqßuin nak li kaDios quisicßoc êru lâex saß xyânkeb laj Israel re nak texcßanjelak chiru? Quixsicß êru re nak texxaklîk chiruheb li tenamit ut texcßanjelak saß li tabernáculo saß xcßabaßeb li tenamit.

¹⁰And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

¹⁰Li Dios quixakaban êre joß eb ajcuiß chixjunileb lê rech aj levita chi cßanjelac chiru. Abanan lâex toj têraj texcßanjelak chokß aj tij.

¹¹For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

¹¹Lâat ut eb lâ cuochben xechßutub êrib chixcuechßbal rix laj Aarón. ¿Cßaßut nak nequecuechßi rix laj Aarón? ¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß li Dios li yôquex chixcuechßinquil rix?—

¹²And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:

¹²Chirix aßan laj Moisés quixtakla xbokbaleb laj Datán ut laj Abiram, eb li ralal laj Eliab. Abanan eb aßan queßxye: —Lâo incßaß toxic aran.

¹³Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?

¹³¿Ma incßaß tzßakal riqßuin nak xoâcuisi saß li tenamit li na-el cuiß chi us li acuîmk re tocâmk saß li chaki chßochß? ¿Ma toj tâcuaj tattaklânk saß kabên saß joskßil?

¹⁴Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.

¹⁴Lâat incßaß xoâcßam saß li naßajej li na-el cuiß chi us li acuîmk, chi moco xaqßue ke li cßalebâl, chi moco xaqßue xnaßaj ka-uvas. ¿Ma tâcuaj nak toâberesi chikajunilo joß naberesîc li mutzß? Lâo incßaß toxic châcuilbal, chanqueb.

¹⁵And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

¹⁵Riqßuin li cßaßru queßxye, queßxchikß xjoskßil laj Moisés ut quixye re li Kâcuaß: —At Kâcuaß, mâcßul taxak lix mayejeb. Lâin mâcßaß xinmakß chiruheb. Lâin incßaß xinmakß lix bûr chiruheb chi moco xinbânu raylal reheb.—

¹⁶And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:

¹⁶Ut laj Moisés quixye re laj Coré: —Lâat âcuochbeneb li nequeßoquen châcuix texxic chiru li Kâcuaß cuulaj. Lâex ut laj Aarón cuânkex aran.

¹⁷And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.

¹⁷Li junjûnk êre têqßue li pom chi saß lê sansar ut têcßam chiru li Kâcuaß. Cuib ciento riqßuin lajêb roxcßâl chixjunil. Lâat ut laj Aarón cuânk ajcuiß lê sansar, chan laj Moisés.

¹⁸And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.

¹⁸Ut chixjunileb queßxqßue li xam saß lix sansar ut queßxqßue ajcuiß li pom ut queßxakli chiru li oquebâl re li tabernáculo rochbeneb laj Moisés ut laj Aarón.

¹⁹And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.

¹⁹Ut laj Coré quixchßutubeb chiru li oquebâl re li tabernáculo eb li nequeßoquen chirix. Ut li Kâcuaß quixcßutbesi lix lokßal chiruheb chixjunileb li tenamit.

²⁰And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

²⁰Ut li Kâcuaß quixye reheb laj Moisés ut laj Aarón:

²¹Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

²¹—Elenkex saß xyânkeb li tenamit aßin re nak tinsach ruheb chixjunileb saß junpât, chan.

²²And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

²²Ut laj Moisés ut laj Aarón queßxhupub ribeb saß chßochß ut queßxye: —At Kâcuaß, at kaDios, lâat nacatqßuehoc xyußam li junjûnk. Jun ajcuiß li xmâcob châcuu. ¿Ma tâcuisi âjoskßil saß xbêneb chixjunileb li tenamit?—

²³And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

²³Ut li Kâcuaß quichakßoc ut quixye re laj Moisés:

²⁴Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

²⁴—Tâye reheb laj Israel nak teßêlk chixcßatk lix muhebâleb laj Coré, laj Datán, ut laj Abiram.—

²⁵And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

²⁵Laj Moisés cô riqßuineb laj Datán ut laj Abiram. Ut eb li nequeßcßamoc be saß xyânkeb laj Israel queßcôeb chirix.

²⁶And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.

²⁶Ut laj Moisés quixye reheb laj Israel: —Elenkex chixcßatk lix muhebâleb li cuînk aßin li incßaß useb xnaßleb. Ut mêchßeß li cßaßru reheb mâre anchal texcâmk xban lix mâusilaleb, chan.

²⁷So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.

²⁷Joßcan nak queßel chixcßatk lix muhebâleb laj Coré, laj Datán ut laj Abiram. Laj Datán ut laj Abiram queßel chak saß lix muhebâleb. Xakxôqueb chiru li oquebâl rochbeneb li rixakil ut eb lix cocßal.

²⁸And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.

²⁸Laj Moisés quixye reheb: —Joßcaßin nak tênau nak li Kâcuaß quitaklan chak cue chixbânunquil li cßaßru ninbânu. Moco injunes ta nintakla cuib.

²⁹If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.

²⁹Cui eb li cuînk aßin teßcâmk joß nak nequeßcam chixjunileb li cristian, aßan retalil nak li Kâcuaß incßaß quinixtakla chixbânunquil li cßaßru ninbânu.

³⁰But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.

³⁰Abanan cui li Kâcuaß tixbânu li mâ jun sut quicßulman ut cui li chßochß tâjachekß ut teßtßanekß chi saß eb li cuînk aßin chi yoßyo rochben chixjunil li cßaßru cuan reheb, aßan retalil nak eb li cuînk aßin queßxtzßektâna li Kâcuaß, chan.

³¹And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:

³¹Tojeß ajcuiß târakekß chi âtinac laj Moisés nak li chßochß quijacheß rubeleb.

³²And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

³²Chanchan nak li chßochß quixte li re ut quixnukß laj Coré ut chixjunileb li cuînk li queßoquen chirix rochbeneb lix jun cablal ut chixjunil li cßaßru cuan reheb.

³³They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.

³³Toj yoßyôqueb nak queßtßaneß saß xchamal li chßochß rochbeneb chixjunil li cßaßru cuan reheb. Ut li chßochß quixtzßap cuißchic rib saß xbêneb. Joßcan nak queßsacheß ruheb saß xyânkeb laj Israel.

³⁴And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.

³⁴Ut nak queßrabi nak yôqueb chixjapbal reheb li queßsacheß ruheb, chixjunileb laj Israel queßêlelic ut queßxye: —Mâre toxnukß ajcuiß li chßochß lâo, chanqueb.

³⁵And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

³⁵Ut li Kâcuaß quixtakla li xam ut quixcßateb li cuib ciento riqßuin lajêb roxcßâl chi cuînk li queßcßatoc re li pom.

³⁶And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

³⁶Ut li Kâcuaß quiâtinac riqßuin laj Moisés ut quixye re:

³⁷Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.

³⁷—Tâye re laj Eleazar li ralal laj Aarón laj tij nak tixxoc chak li sansar saß li xam ut tixcut chi najt li ru xam li cuan chi saß xban nak li sansar aßan santobresinbileb.

³⁸The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.

³⁸Queßsantobresîc nak queßqßueheß chiru lin artal lâin li Kâcuaß. Cßameb lix sansareb li cuînk li queßsacheß ruheb xban nak queßmâcob. Riqßuin li sansar aßin têyîb li perpôquil chßîchß ut li perpôquil chßîchß aßin têletz chiru li artal. Ut aßanak jun retalil chiruheb laj Israel, chan li Dios.

³⁹And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:

³⁹Ut laj Eleazar laj tij quixxoc lix sansareb li queßsacheß ruheb. Ut quixtakla xyîbanquil li perpôquil chßîchß riqßuineb li sansar re nak teßxletz chiru li artal.

⁴⁰To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.

⁴⁰Quixbânu laj Eleazar joß quixye li Kâcuaß re laj Moisés. Aßan jun retalil chiruheb laj Israel nak juneseb li ralal xcßajol laj Aarón naru nequeßxcßat li pom chiru li Kâcuaß. Jalan incßaß naru mâre anchal tixcßul joß queßxcßul laj Coré ut eb li queßoquen chirix.

⁴¹But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.

⁴¹Cuulajak chic chixjunileb laj Israel queßxcuechßi rixeb laj Moisés ut laj Aarón ut queßxye reheb: —Lâex quecamsiheb lix tenamit li Kâcuaß, chanqueb.

⁴²And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.

⁴²Abanan nak eb li tenamit queßxchßutub ribeb chixcuechßinquil rixeb laj Moisés ut laj Aarón, nak queßiloc cuan cuiß li tabernáculo, jun li chok quixtzßap li tabernáculo ut li Kâcuaß quixcßutbesi lix lokßal.

⁴³And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.

⁴³Laj Moisés ut laj Aarón queßcôeb chiru li tabernáculo.

⁴⁴And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

⁴⁴Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re laj Moisés:

⁴⁵Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.

⁴⁵—Isihomak êrib saß xyânkeb laj Israel re nak târûk tinsach ruheb chi junaj cua, chan. Ut queßxhupub ribeb saß chßochß.

⁴⁶And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.

⁴⁶Ut laj Moisés quixye re laj Aarón: —Cßam lâ sansar chiru li artal ut tâqßue li ru xam chi saß ut tâqßue ajcuiß li pom. Ut tâcßam chi junpât cuanqueb cuiß li tenamit ut tâsantobresiheb. Xnumta lix joskßil li Dios saß xbêneb ut ac xticla li caki yajel, chan.

⁴⁷And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.

⁴⁷Ut laj Aarón quixbânu joß quixye laj Moisés. Cô saß ânil saß xyânkeb li tenamit. Ac xticla li caki yajel saß xyânkeb. Abanan laj Aarón quixcßat li pom re xtojbal rix lix mâqueb li tenamit.

⁴⁸And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

⁴⁸Laj Aarón quixakli saß xyiheb li camenak ut li yoßyôqueb. Ut queßxcanab câmc xban li caki yajel.

⁴⁹Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.

⁴⁹Câlaju mil riqßuin cuukub ciento queßcam xban li caki yajel aßan. Mâcßaßeb saß ajl laj Coré ut eb li queßoquen chirix.Ut laj Aarón cô riqßuin laj Moisés chiru li oquebâl re li tabernáculo nak ac xeßxcanab câmc xban li caki yajel.

⁵⁰And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.

⁵⁰Ut laj Aarón cô riqßuin laj Moisés chiru li oquebâl re li tabernáculo nak ac xeßxcanab câmc xban li caki yajel.
