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,

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

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;

²and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown;

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?

³and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, “You take too much on yourself, since all the congregation are holy, everyone of them, and Yahweh is among them: why then lift yourselves up above the assembly of Yahweh?”

⁴Ary raha nandre izany Mosesy, dia niankohoka izy

⁴When Moses heard it, he fell on his face:

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.

⁵and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, “In the morning Yahweh will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him: even him whom he shall choose he will cause to come near to him.

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

⁶Do this: take censers, Korah, and all his company;

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!

⁷and put fire in them, and put incense on them before Yahweh tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom Yahweh chooses, he shall be holy. You have gone too far, you sons of Levi!”

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

⁸Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi!

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?

⁹Is it a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of Yahweh, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;

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

¹⁰and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? and do you seek the priesthood also?

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

¹¹Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against Yahweh: and Aaron, what is he that you murmur against him?”

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

¹²Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, “We won’t come up:

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?

¹³is 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, but you must also make yourself a prince over us?

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.

¹⁴Moreover you haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: will you put out the eyes of these men? We won’t come up.”

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.

¹⁵Moses was very angry, and said to Yahweh, “Don’t respect their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.”

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.

¹⁶Moses said to Korah, “You and all your company go before Yahweh, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:

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.

¹⁷and each man take his censer, and put incense on them, and each man bring before Yahweh his censer, two hundred fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer.”

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.

¹⁸They each took his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.

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.

¹⁹Korah assembled all the congregation against them to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the glory of Yahweh appeared to all the congregation.

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

²⁰Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

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

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

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?

²²They fell on their faces, and said, “God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?”

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

²³Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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

²⁴“Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram!’”

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

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

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.

²⁶He spoke to the congregation, saying, “Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins!”

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.

²⁷So they went away from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.

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

²⁸Moses said, “Hereby you shall know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works; for they are not from my own mind.

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.

²⁹If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Yahweh hasn’t sent me.

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.

³⁰But if Yahweh make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain to them, and they go down alive into Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. ; then you shall understand that these men have despised Yahweh.”

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

³¹It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split apart that was under them;

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

³²and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who appertained to Korah, and all their goods.

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.

³³So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. : and the earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly.

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.

³⁴All Israel that were around them fled at their cry; for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!”

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

³⁵Fire came forth from Yahweh, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense.

³⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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

³⁸even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Yahweh; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.”

³⁹Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,

⁴⁰to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, who isn’t of the seed of Aaron, comes near to burn incense before Yahweh; that he not be as Korah, and as his company: as Yahweh spoke to him by Moses.

⁴¹But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed Yahweh’s people!”

⁴²It happened, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the Tent of Meeting: and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Yahweh appeared.

⁴³Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.

⁴⁴Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

⁴⁵“Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!” They fell on their faces.

⁴⁶Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, and put fire from off the altar in it, and lay incense on it, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from Yahweh! The plague has begun.”

⁴⁷Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and behold, the plague has begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.

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

⁴⁹Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah.

⁵⁰Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the plague was stayed.
