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:

¹Korah pa, sin Izharja, sinu Kahata, sinu Levijevega, se poprime upora in Datan in Abiram, sinova Eliabova, in On, sin Peletov, sinovi Rubenovi;

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;

²in se vzdignejo proti Mojzesu z dvestoinpetdesetimi možmi izmed sinov Izraelovih, ki so bili prvaki v občini, pooblaščenci zbora, možje imenitni.

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?”

³In zbero se zoper Mojzesa in Arona in ju ogovore: Dosti vama naj bo! Zakaj vsa občina, vsi so svetniki, in GOSPOD je sredi njih. Zakaj se vidva povzdigujeta nad zbor GOSPODOV?

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

⁴In ko Mojzes to sliši, pade na obraz svoj.

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.

⁵In izpregovori Korahu in vsej družbi njegovi, rekoč: Jutri pokaže GOSPOD, kdo je njegov in kdo je svet in se Mu sme bližati; njemu, kogar si izvoli, veli, naj se Mu bliža.

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

⁶Storite to: Vzemite si kadilnice, Korah in vsa družba njegova,

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!”

⁷in vložite vanje ognja ter denite nanj kadila jutri pred GOSPODOM; in mož, ki si ga izvoli GOSPOD, ta bodi svetnik. Dosti naj vam bode, sinovi Levijevi.

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

⁸In Mojzes reče Korahu: Čujte, pravim, sinovi Levijevi!

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;

⁹Ali vam je premalo, da je prav vas Bog Izraelov odločil iz občine Izraelove, veleč, da bodite blizu njega, da bi opravljali službo pri prebivališču GOSPODOVEM ter stopali pred občino, da jim strežete?

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

¹⁰Premalo li je da je k sebi dovolil pristop tebi in vsem bratom tvojim s teboj? Iščete li še tudi duhovništva?

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

¹¹Zares, prav zoper GOSPODA ste se zbrali, ti in vsa družba tvoja. Kaj neki je Aron, da zoper njega mrmrate?

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

¹²In Mojzes pošlje klicat Datana in Abirama, sinova Eliabova; a odvrneta: Midva ne greva tja gori.

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?

¹³Je li premalo, da si nas peljal iz dežele, v kateri teče mleko in med, da nas pomoriš v puščavi? Hočeš li se vzdigniti celo še za vladarja nad nami?

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.”

¹⁴Saj nas nisi pripeljal v deželo, v kateri teče mleko in med, in nisi nam dal njiv in vinogradov v posest! Hočeš li še oči izdreti tem ljudem? Midva ne greva tja gori.

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.”

¹⁵Tedaj se silno razsrdi Mojzes in reče GOSPODU: Ne ozri se na njih jedilno daritev. Niti osliča nisem vzel od njih in nikoli nikomur izmed njih nisem storil kaj žalega.

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

¹⁶Nato veli Mojzes Korahu: Ti in vsa družba tvoja stopite jutri pred GOSPODA, ti, oni in Aron,

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.”

¹⁷in vsakteri vzemi kadilnico svojo in deni vanjo kadila, in prinesite pred GOSPODA vsak svojo kadilnico, torej dvestoinpetdeset kadilnic, tudi ti in Aron, vsak svojo kadilnico.

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.

¹⁸Vzame torej vsak svojo kadilnico ter položi vanjo ognja in dene nanj kadila, in postavijo se pri vhodu shodnega šatora z Mojzesom in Aronom.

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.

¹⁹In Korah zbere zoper njiju vso občino pred vhod shodnega šatora. A slava GOSPODOVA se prikaže vsej množici.

²⁰Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

²⁰Tedaj ogovori GOSPOD Mojzesa in Arona, rekoč:

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

²¹Ločita se iz te občine, da jih namah pokončam!

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?”

²²Ona pa padeta na obličje svoje ter vzklikneta: O Bog mogočni, Bog duhov vsega mesa! Ta eden greši, in hočeš se li jeziti nad občino vso?

²³Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²³Nato veli GOSPOD Mojzesu:

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

²⁴Govori občini in reci: Umeknite se iz okoliša šatora Korahovega, Datanovega in Abiramovega.

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

²⁵In Mojzes vstane in gre k Datanu in Abiramu, in starejšine Izraelovi ga spremljajo.

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!”

²⁶In ogovori občino, rekoč: Odstopite, prosim, od šatorov teh brezbožnih ljudi in ne doteknite se nobene njih reči, da ne poginete v vseh njih grehih.

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.

²⁷In umaknejo se od bivališč Koraha, Datana in Abirama na vseh straneh; Datan in Abiram pa prideta ven ter se postavita ob vhodu šatorov svojih s svojima ženama in s sinovi in otročiči svojimi.

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

²⁸In Mojzes reče: Po tem spoznate, da me je GOSPOD poslal, da naj izvršim vsa ta dela, in da niso prišla iz mojega srca:

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.

²⁹Ako umrjo ti z navadno smrtjo vseh ljudi in bodo kaznovani, kakor se kaznujejo vsi ljudje, tedaj me ni poslal GOSPOD.

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.”

³⁰Ako pa ustvari GOSPOD novo stvar, da odpre zemlja svoje žrelo ter jih požre z vsem, kar imajo, da se živi pogreznejo v kraj mrtvih: tedaj spoznajte, da so ti možje zaničevali GOSPODA.

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

³¹In zgodi se, brž ko je izgovoril vse te besede, da razpoknejo tla pod njimi,

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.

³²in zemlja odpre svoje žrelo ter jih požre ž njih družinami in vsemi pristaši Korahovimi in z vsem, kar so imeli.

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.

³³Tako se pogreznejo z vsem, kar so imeli, živi v kraj mrtvih [Hebr. šeol.], in zemlja se zapre nad njimi, in poginili so izmed občine.

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

³⁴In vsi Izraelci, ki so bili okoli njih, zbeže ob njih vpitju; zakaj dejali so: Da nas ne požre zemlja!

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

³⁵Pa tudi ogenj šine od GOSPODA in požre tistih dvesto in petdeset mož, ki so darovali kadilo.

³⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

³⁶Tedaj ogovori GOSPOD Mojzesa, rekoč:

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,

³⁷Véli Eleazarju, sinu Arona duhovnika, naj pobere kadilnice na pogorišču, ogenj pa raztresi tja daleč; kajti posvečene so,

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.”

³⁸namreč kadilnice onih grešnikov, ki so grešili zoper duše svoje, in razkuj jih na široke ploče v prevleko oltarja; ker so v njih darovali pred GOSPODOM, zato so svete, in naj bodo v znamenje sinovom Izraelovim.

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,

³⁹Vzame torej Eleazar, duhovnik, bronaste kadilnice, v katerih so darovali tisti, ki jih je požrl ogenj, in jih razkuje v prevleko oltarja:

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.

⁴⁰za spomin sinovom Izraelovim, da naj ne pristopa zažigat kadila pred GOSPODOM noben nepoklicanec, ki ni iz rodu Aronovega, ker bi se mu zgodilo kakor Korahu in družbi njegovi - kakor mu je bil naročil GOSPOD po Mojzesu.

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!”

⁴¹A drugi dan je mrmrala vsa občina sinov Izraelovih zoper Mojzesa in Arona, govoreč: Vidva sta usmrtila ljudstvo GOSPODOVO.

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.

⁴²In zgodi se, ko se je vsa množica zbirala zoper Mojzesa in Arona, da se ozro proti shodnemu šatoru, in glej, oblak ga pokrije in slava GOSPODOVA se prikaže.

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

⁴³V tem prideta Mojzes in Aron k pročelju shodnega šatora.

⁴⁴Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

⁴⁴In GOSPOD ogovori Mojzesa, rekoč:

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

⁴⁵Umeknita se izmed te občine, da jih namah pokončam. Tedaj padeta na obličje svoje;

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.”

⁴⁶In Mojzes veli Aronu: Vzemi kadilnico svojo in položi vanjo ognja z oltarja in deni nanj kadila in hitro nesi med občino ter stóri spravo zanje, zakaj jeza je že prišla od GOSPODA, šiba že razsaja.

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.

⁴⁷Aron jo vzame, kakor je Mojzes rekel, in teče med zbor, in glej, šiba je že pokončavala med ljudstvom, in dene vanjo kadila ter stori spravo.

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

⁴⁸In stal je med mrtvimi in živimi, in šiba je bila ustavljena.

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

⁴⁹Tistih pa, ki so umrli v tem pomoru, je bilo štirinajst tisoč in sedemsto, razen onih, ki so umrli zaradi Koraha.In Aron se vrne k Mojzesu k vratom shodnega šatora, in šiba je bila ustavljena.

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

⁵⁰In Aron se vrne k Mojzesu k vratom shodnega šatora, in šiba je bila ustavljena.
