Numbers 16

Now 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:

ecce autem Core filius Isaar filii Caath filii Levi et Dathan atque Abiram filii Heliab Hon quoque filius Pheleth de filiis Ruben

And 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:

surrexerunt contra Mosen aliique filiorum Israhel ducenti quinquaginta viri proceres synagogae et qui tempore concilii per nomina vocabantur

And 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?

cumque stetissent adversum Mosen et Aaron dixerunt sufficiat vobis quia omnis multitudo sanctorum est et in ipsis est Dominus cur elevamini super populum Domini

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

quod cum audisset Moses cecidit pronus in faciem

And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew 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.

locutusque ad Core et ad omnem multitudinem mane inquit notum faciet Dominus qui ad se pertineant et sanctos adplicabit sibi et quos elegerit adpropinquabunt ei

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

hoc igitur facite tollat unusquisque turibula sua tu Core et omne concilium tuum

And 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.

et hausto cras igne ponite desuper thymiama coram Domino et quemcumque elegerit ipse erit sanctus multum erigimini filii Levi

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

dixitque rursum ad Core audite filii Levi

Seemeth 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?

num parum vobis est quod separavit vos Deus Israhel ab omni populo et iunxit sibi ut serviretis ei in cultu tabernaculi et staretis coram frequentia populi et ministraretis ei

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

idcirco ad se fecit accedere te et omnes fratres tuos filios Levi ut vobis etiam sacerdotium vindicetis

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

et omnis globus tuus stet contra Dominum quid est enim Aaron ut murmuretis contra eum

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

misit ergo Moses ut vocaret Dathan et Abiram filios Heliab qui responderunt non venimus

Is 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?

numquid parum est tibi quod eduxisti nos de terra quae lacte et melle manabat ut occideres in deserto nisi et dominatus fueris nostri

Moreover 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.

re vera induxisti nos in terram quae fluit rivis lactis et mellis et dedisti nobis possessiones agrorum et vinearum an et oculos nostros vis eruere non venimus

And 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.

iratusque Moses valde ait ad Dominum ne respicias sacrificia eorum tu scis quod ne asellum quidem umquam acceperim ab eis nec adflixerim quempiam eorum

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

dixitque ad Core tu et omnis congregatio tua state seorsum coram Domino et Aaron die crastino separatim

And 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.

tollite singuli turibula vestra et ponite super ea incensum offerentes Domino ducenta quinquaginta turibula Aaron quoque teneat turibulum suum

And 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.

quod cum fecissent stantibus Mosen et Aaron

And 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.

et coacervassent adversum eos omnem multitudinem ad ostium tabernaculi apparuit cunctis gloria Domini

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

locutusque Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron ait

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

separamini de medio congregationis huius ut eos repente disperdam

And 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?

qui ceciderunt proni in faciem atque dixerunt fortissime Deus spirituum universae carnis num uno peccante contra omnes tua ira desaeviet

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

et ait Dominus ad Mosen

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

praecipe universo populo ut separetur a tabernaculis Core et Dathan et Abiram

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

surrexitque Moses et abiit ad Dathan et Abiram et sequentibus eum senioribus Israhel

And 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.

dixit ad turbam recedite a tabernaculis hominum impiorum et nolite tangere quae ad eos pertinent ne involvamini in peccatis eorum

So 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.

cumque recessissent a tentoriis eorum per circuitum Dathan et Abiram egressi stabant in introitu papilionum suorum cum uxoribus et liberis omnique frequentia

And 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.

et ait Moses in hoc scietis quod Dominus miserit me ut facerem universa quae cernitis et non ex proprio ea corde protulerim

If 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.

si consueta hominum morte interierint et visitaverit eos plaga qua et ceteri visitari solent non misit me Dominus

But 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.

sin autem novam rem fecerit Dominus ut aperiens terra os suum degluttiat eos et omnia quae ad illos pertinent descenderintque viventes in infernum scietis quod blasphemaverint Dominum

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

confestim igitur ut cessavit loqui disrupta est terra sub pedibus eorum

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

et aperiens os suum devoravit illos cum tabernaculis suis et universa substantia

They, 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.

descenderuntque vivi in infernum operti humo et perierunt de medio multitudinis

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

at vero omnis Israhel qui stabat per gyrum fugit ad clamorem pereuntium dicens ne forte et nos terra degluttiat

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

sed et ignis egressus a Domino interfecit ducentos quinquaginta viros qui offerebant incensum

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

Speak 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.

praecipe Eleazaro filio Aaron sacerdotis ut tollat turibula quae iacent in incendio et ignem huc illucque dispergat quoniam sanctificata sunt

The 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.

in mortibus peccatorum producatque ea in lamminas et adfigat altari eo quod oblatum sit in eis incensum Domino et sanctificata sint ut cernant ea pro signo et monumento filii Israhel

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

tulit ergo Eleazar sacerdos turibula aenea in quibus obtulerant hii quos incendium devoravit et produxit ea in lamminas adfigens altari

To 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.

ut haberent postea filii Israhel quibus commonerentur ne quis accedat alienigena et qui non est de semine Aaron ad offerendum incensum Domino ne patiatur sicut passus est Core et omnis congregatio eius loquente Domino ad Mosen

But 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.

murmuravit autem omnis multitudo filiorum Israhel sequenti die contra Mosen et Aaron dicens vos interfecistis populum Domini

And 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.

cumque oreretur seditio et tumultus incresceret

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

Moses et Aaron fugerunt ad tabernaculum foederis quod postquam ingressi sunt operuit nubes et apparuit gloria Domini

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

dixitque Dominus ad Mosen

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

recedite de medio huius multitudinis etiam nunc delebo eos cumque iacerent in terra

And 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.

dixit Moses ad Aaron tolle turibulum et hausto igne de altari mitte incensum desuper pergens cito ad populum ut roges pro eis iam enim egressa est ira a Domino et plaga desaevit

And 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.

quod cum fecisset Aaron et cucurrisset ad mediam multitudinem quam iam vastabat incendium obtulit thymiama

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

et stans inter mortuos ac viventes pro populo deprecatus est et plaga cessavit

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

fuerunt autem qui percussi sunt quattuordecim milia hominum et septingenti absque his qui perierant in seditione Core

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

reversusque est Aaron ad Mosen ad ostium tabernaculi foederis postquam quievit interitus
