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:

¹ Amma Kora, kaŋ i g'a asulo lasaabu Izhar ka koy Kohat ka koy Lawi, nga nda Eliyab izey Datan da Abiram, da Pelet izo On mo, Ruben kunda boro, ngey wo ka boro fooyaŋ candi.

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;

² I tunanda Musa gaa, ngey nda Israyla ize fooyaŋ, danga jine boro zangu hinka nda waygu jama ra, arkusu beeri yaŋ no marga ra, borey kaŋ yaŋ i maayey gonda beeray jama jine.

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?”

³ I na ngey boŋ margu ka gaaba nda Musa nda Haruna mo, ka ne i se: «Araŋ go g'araŋ boŋ beerandi zama jama marga kulu ga hanan, i afo kulu. Rabbi go i game ra mo. Ifo se no araŋ go ga araŋ boŋ beerandi beene ka bisa Rabbi marga?»

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

⁴ Waato kaŋ Musa maa woodin, a kaŋ ganda nga moyduma boŋ.

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.

⁵ A salaŋ mo Kora nda nga marga kulu se ka ne: «Suba susubay Rabbi ga cabe boro kaŋ ti a wane, da bora kaŋ ga hanan. A ga bora din maanandi nga do. Oho, bora kaŋ Rabbi suuban, a g'a maanandi nga do.

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

⁶ Yaawo no araŋ ga te: Araŋ ma dugu tonyaŋ cambuyaŋ sambu, araŋ, Kora nda ni marga kulu.

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!”

⁷ Araŋ ma danji daŋ i ra, ka dugu daŋ, ka kay Rabbi jine. Araŋ m'a te suba susubay. A ga ciya mo, bora kaŋ Rabbi suuban din, nga no ga hanan. A wasa yaadin, araŋ wo Lawi izey!»

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

⁸ Musa ne Kora se: «Ya araŋ Lawi izey, ay go g'araŋ ŋwaaray, wa maa.

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;

⁹ Mate no, hari kayna no araŋ diyaŋ gaa, kaŋ Israyla Irikoyo n'araŋ fay waani Israyla marga kulu ra, a na araŋ maanandi nga do mo zama araŋ ma Rabbi Irikoy nangora saajawo goy te se, araŋ ma kay jama jine ka saajaw i se?

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

¹⁰ A na ni maanandi mo, nin da ni nya-izey Lawitey ni banda. Araŋ ga alfagataray ceeci koyne, wala?

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

¹¹ Woodin sabbay se no, nin nda ni marga kulu, araŋ margu ka gaaba nda Rabbi. May ga ti Haruna, hal araŋ m'a jance?»

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

¹² Kala Musa donton ka ne i ma Eliyab izey Datan da Abiram ce. I tu ka ne: «Iri wo, iri si kaa!

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?

¹³ A mana wasa no ni se, wala, kaŋ ni n'iri kaa laabu fo ra kaŋ ga wa da yu bambari zama ni m'iri wi ganjo wo ra? Hala mo sohõ ni ga ba ka ni boŋ ciya iri se bonkooni zaati!

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.”

¹⁴ Woodin banda, ni mana kande iri laabu kaŋ ga wa da yu bambari do, ni mana iri no fariyaŋ da reyzin kaliyaŋ mo iri ma tubu. Ni ga ba ni ma borey wo moy daabu, wala? To, iri wo si kaa!»

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.”

¹⁵ Kala Musa te bine gumo. A ne Rabbi se: «Ma si i sarga saal. Ay mana i zamba baa farkay fo, ay mana taali te i afo kulu se mo.»

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

¹⁶ Woodin banda Musa ne Kora se: «Nin da ni marga kulu, araŋ ma kay Rabbi jine suba susubay nin d'ey, da Haruna.

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.”

¹⁷ Boro fo kulu ma nga dugu tonyaŋ cambo sambu, ka dugu daŋ i ra. Araŋ ma kande araŋ dugu tonyaŋ cambey Rabbi jine, cambu zangu hinka nda waygu. Nin wo, da Haruna, araŋ boro fo kulu ma kay da nga dugu tonyaŋ cambo.»

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.

¹⁸ I na ngey dugu tonyaŋ cambey sambu, ka danji daŋ i ra. I na dugu daŋ i ra. I kay kubayyaŋ hukumo meyo ra, ngey nda Musa nda Haruna.

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.

¹⁹ Kora mo na nga jama kulu margu i do kubayyaŋ hukumo meyo do haray. Kala Rabbi darza bangay jama kulu gaa!

²⁰Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

²⁰ Rabbi mo salaŋ Musa nda Haruna se ka ne:

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

²¹ «Wa araŋ boŋ fay waani jama wo gaa, hal ay m'i halaci farap folloŋ!»

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?”

²² Kal i kaŋ ganda birante ka ne: «Ya Irikoy, nin kaŋ ti fundikooney kulu biyey Irikoyo, da boro folloŋ na zunubi te, a se ni ga dukur jama kulu se no?»

²³Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²³ Waato din gaa no Rabbi salaŋ Musa se ka ne:

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

²⁴ «Ma salaŋ jama se ka ne: Araŋ ma hibi ka fun Kora da Datan da Abiram kuuru-fuwey jarga.»

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

²⁵ Musa binde koy Datan da Abiram do, Israyla arkusey mo n'a gana.

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!”

²⁶ A salaŋ jama se ka ne: «Ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, wa hibi ka fun boro laaley wo kuuru-fuwey jarga. Wa si lamba i jinay fo kulu gaa, zama i ma si araŋ halaci i zunubey sabbay se.»

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.

²⁷ I binde tun ka fun Kora nda Datan da Abiram kuuru-fuwey jarga, kambey kulu haray. Datan da Abarim mo fatta ka kay ngey fu meyey jine, ngey nda ngey wandey da ngey ize arey da ngey zankey.

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

²⁸ Musa ne: «Yaawo gaa no araŋ ga bay kaŋ Rabbi no k'ay donton ay ma goyey wo kulu te, manti ay boŋ miila no ay goono ga goy bo, nga neeya:

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.

²⁹ Hala day borey wo bu mate kaŋ cine boro kulu ga bu, wala mo da haŋ kaŋ ga du boro kulu no ga du ey, yaadin gaa Rabbi man'ay donton.

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.”

³⁰ Amma da Rabbi na hari taji te, sanda laabo ma nga meyo fiti k'i gon, ngey da ngey jinay kulu, hal i ma zumbu nda fundi Alaahara, woodin gaa araŋ ga bay kaŋ borey din donda Rabbi.»

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

³¹ A ciya mo waato kaŋ a na sanno wo ci ka ban, kala laabo feeri i cire.

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.

³² Laabo na nga meyo hay k'i gon, ngey nda ngey almayaaley, Kora borey kulu da ngey jinayey kulu.

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.

³³ Yaadin no ngey nda hay kulu kaŋ ti i wane zumbu nda fundi hala Alaahara. Laabo ye ka daabu i boŋ, hal i halaci jama game ra.

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

³⁴ Israyla izey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go i windanta mo zuru waato kaŋ i maa i kaatiyaŋey jinda, zama i ne: «Laabo ma si koy ka iri mo gon!»

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

³⁵ Danji mo firsi ka fun Rabbi do ka boro zangu hinka nda waygo din ŋwa, kaŋ yaŋ na dugo salle.

³⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

³⁶ Rabbi salaŋ Musa se koyne ka ne:

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,

³⁷ «Ma salaŋ Alfa Haruna izo Eliyezar se, ka ne a ma dugu tonyaŋ cambey ku k'i kaa goobara nango ra, zama i ga hanan. A ma danji izey say-say nangu mooro.

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.”

³⁸ Danga, zunubikooney din waney kaŋ yaŋ i na buuyaŋ candi nd'a ka kande ngey boŋ gaa. I ma cambey dan ka te itafo yaŋ ka te sargay feema se daabirji, zama i n'i salle Rabbi jine. A sabbay se no i ga hanan. I ma ciya alaama mo Israyla izey se.»

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,

³⁹ Kala Alfa Eliyezar na guuru-say cambey sambu, wo kaŋ yaŋ borey kaŋ bu goobara ra salle. I n'i dan ka te daabirji tafo sargay feema se,

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.

⁴⁰ a ma goro ka te fonguyaŋ hari Israyla izey se. Danga yaw kulu kaŋ i s'a asulo lasaabu Haruna do, a ma si maan ka dugu ton Rabbi jine, zama i ma s'a ciya danga Kora nda nga marga cine. Eliyezar mo te mate kaŋ Rabbi ci a se Musa meyo ra.

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!”

⁴¹ Amma zaaro kaŋ dake woodin gaa, Israyla izey jama kulu na Musa nda Haruna jance ka ne: «Araŋ na Rabbi boroyaŋ wi!»

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.

⁴² A ciya mo waato kaŋ jama kulu margu ka gaaba nda Musa nda Haruna mo, noodin kubayyaŋ hukumo do haray, kal i di buru yuuma go, a n'a daabu! Rabbi darza mo bangay.

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

⁴³ Musa nda Haruna mo go kubayyaŋ hukumo jine ga kay.

⁴⁴Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

⁴⁴ Kala Rabbi salaŋ Musa se, ka ne:

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

⁴⁵ «Wa tun ka fun jama wo do, hal ay m'i halaci fap! folloŋ!» Musa nda Haruna kaŋ ganda birante.

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.”

⁴⁶ Musa mo ne Haruna se: «Sambu dugu tonyaŋ cambu fo ka sargay feema danj'izeyaŋ daŋ a ra, ka dugu dake a boŋ. Ma koy da waasi jama do ka sasabandiyaŋ te i se, zama dukuri kaa ka fun Rabbi do, balaaw mo jin ka sintin.»

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.

⁴⁷ Haruna mo na cambo sambu, mate kaŋ Musa lordi din, a zuru ka koy jama game ra. Balaawo go mo, a jin ka sintin borey ra. Haruna na dugu daŋ ka sasabandiyaŋ te borey se.

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

⁴⁸ A kay mo buukoy da fundikooney game ra, ka balaawo gaay.

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

⁴⁹ Borey kaŋ yaŋ bu balaawo din ra, boro zambar way cindi taaci nda zangu iyye no, kaŋ waana ngey kaŋ yaŋ bu Kora murteyaŋo ra.

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

⁵⁰ Haruna mo, waato kaŋ a na balaawo gaay, a ye ka kaa Musa do kubayyaŋ hukumo meyo jine.
