¹And Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, made bold, and [with him] Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben;

¹[Ny niodinan'i Kora sy ny namany, sy ny nanamarinan'i Jehovah ny fisoronan'i Arona] 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,

²and they rose up against Moses, with two hundred and fifty men of the children of Israel, princes of the assembly, summoned to the council, men of renown;

²ka 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;

³and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, It is enough; for all the assembly, all of them are holy, and Jehovah is among them; and why do ye lift up yourselves above the congregation of Jehovah?

³koa niangona hiodina amin'i Mosesy sy Arona ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Aoka izay ianareo! fa masina avokoa ny fiangonana rehetra, sady Jehovah no eo aminy; koa nahoana no dia manandra-tena ho ambonin'ny fiangonan'i Jehovah ianareo?

⁴When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.

⁴Ary raha nandre izany Mosesy, dia niankohoka izy

⁵And he spoke to Korah and to all his band, saying, Even to-morrow will Jehovah make known who is his, and who is holy; and he will cause him to come near to him; and him whom he has chosen, him will he cause to come near to him.

⁵ka niteny tamin'i Kora sy ny namany rehetra nanao hoe: Rahampitso dia hasehon'i Jehovah izay Azy sy izay masina ka hampanakekeny Azy; dia izay fidiny no hampanakekeny Azy.

⁶This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his band,

⁶Izao no ataovy, ry Kora sy ianareo namany rehetra: Makà fitondran'afo ho anareo rahampitso.

⁷and put fire therein, and lay incense thereon before Jehovah to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah doth choose, he shall be holy. It is enough, ye sons of Levi!

⁷dia 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 masina; fa aoka izay ianareo, ry taranak'i Levy!

⁸And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!

⁸Dia hoy koa Mosesy tamin'i Kora: Henoy, ry taranak'i Levy:

⁹Is it too little for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the work of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the assembly to minister to them?

⁹Moa 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-- that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also?

¹⁰Dia napanakekeny Azy ianao sy ny rahalahinao taranak'i Levy rehetra miaraka aminao, ary mitady ho mpisorona koa va ianareo?

¹¹For which cause thou and all thy band are banded together against Jehovah; and Aaron, who is he that ye murmur against him?

¹¹Ary noho izany ianao sy ny namanao rehetra dia tafangona hiodina amin'i Jehovah; fa Arona moa no inona, no imonomononanareo?

¹²And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up!

¹²Ary Mosesy naniraka nampaka an'i Datana sy Abìrama, zanak'i Eliaba; fa hoy izy roa lahy: Tsy hiakatra izahay.

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

¹³Moa 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?

¹⁴Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land flowing 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!

¹⁴Ary 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.

¹⁵Then Moses was very wroth, and said to Jehovah, Have no regard to their oblation: not one ass have I taken from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

¹⁵Dia 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.

¹⁶And Moses said to Korah, Be thou and all thy band before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow.

¹⁶Dia hoy Mosesy tamin'i Kora: Aoka ianao sy ny namanao rehetra ho tonga eo anatrehan'i Jehovah rahampitso, dia ianao sy ireo ary Arona.

¹⁷And take each his censer, and put incense thereon, and present before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou, and Aaron, each his censer.

¹⁷Ary 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.

¹⁸And they took each his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereon, and stood before the entrance to the tent of meeting, as well as Moses and Aaron.

¹⁸Ary 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.

¹⁹And Korah gathered the whole assembly against them to the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the assembly.

¹⁹Ary 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.

²⁰And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

²⁰Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:

²¹Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment.

²¹Mihataha amin'ity fiangonana ity ianareo handringanako azy amin'ny indray mipi-maso monja.

²²And they fell on their faces, and said, O ùGod, the God of the spirits of all flesh! shall *one* man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with the whole assembly?

²²Dia 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?

²³And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

²³Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

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

²⁴Mitenena amin'ny fiangonana, ka lazao hoe: Mihataha tsy hanodidina ny lain'i Kora sy Datana ary Abìrama.

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

²⁵Dia nitsangana Mosesy ka nankeo amin'i Datana sy Abìrama; ary nanaraka azy ny loholon'ny Isiraely.

²⁶And he spoke to the assembly, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sins.

²⁶Dia 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.

²⁷And they got up from the habitation of Koran, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the entrance of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.

²⁷Dia 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.

²⁸And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these deeds, for they are not out of my own heart:

²⁸Dia hoy Mosesy: Izao no hahafantaranareo fa Jehovah no naniraka ahy hanao ireny asa rehetra ireny, fa tsy avy tamin'ny saiko izany:

²⁹if these men die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah has not sent me;

²⁹Raha 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.

³⁰but if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, and all that they have, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have despised Jehovah.

³⁰Fa 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.

³¹And it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these words, that the ground clave apart that was under them.

³¹Ary rehefa tapitra voalazany izany teny rehetra izany, dia nivava ny tany izay teo ambaniny;

³²And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and all their property.

³²eny, nisokatra ny tany ka nitelina azy sy ny ankohonany mbamin'ny olona rehetra izay an'i Kora ary ny fananany rehetra.

³³And they went down, they and all that they had, alive into Sheol, and the earth covered them; and they perished from among the congregation.

³³Dia 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.

³⁴And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up!

³⁴Ary ny Isiraely rehetra izay nanodidina azy dia nandositra noho ny fidradradradrany; fa hoy izy: Andrao hitelina antsika koa ny tany.Ary nisy afo nivoaka avy tamin'i Jehovah ka nandevona ny lehilahy dimam-polo amby roan-jato izay nanatitra ditin-kazo manitra.

³⁵And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense.

³⁵Ary nisy afo nivoaka avy tamin'i Jehovah ka nandevona ny lehilahy dimam-polo amby roan-jato izay nanatitra ditin-kazo manitra.

³⁶And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

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

³⁸the censers of these sinners who have forfeited their life; and they shall make them into broad plates for the covering of the altar; for they presented them before Jehovah, therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.

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

⁴⁰as a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron come near to burn incense before Jehovah, that he be not as Korah, and as his band, -- as Jehovah had said to him through Moses.

⁴¹And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah.

⁴²And it came to pass, when the assembly was gathered together against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared.

⁴³And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.

⁴⁴And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

⁴⁵Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.

⁴⁶And Moses said to Aaron, Take the censer, and put fire thereon from off the altar, and lay on incense, and carry it quickly to the assembly, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah: the plague is begun.

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

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

⁴⁹Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah.

⁵⁰And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.
