LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και ελαλησεν κορε υιος ισσααρ υιου κααθ υιου λευι και δαθαν και αβιρων υιοι ελιαβ και αυν υιος φαλεθ υιου ρουβην	1 Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, (and Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, son of Pallu, son of Reuben) took
2 και ανεστησαν εναντι μωυση και ανδρες των υιων ισραηλ πεντηκοντα και διακοσιοι αρχηγοι συναγωγης συγκλητοι βουλης και ανδρες ονομαστοι	2 two hundred and fifty Israelites who were leaders in the community, members of the council and men of note. They stood before Moses,
3 συνεστησαν επι μωυσην και ααρων και ειπαν εχετω υμιν οτι πασα η συναγωγη παντες αγιοι και εν αυτοις κυριος και δια τι κατανιστασθε επι την συναγωγην κυριου	3 and held an assembly against Moses and Aaron, to whom they said, "Enough from you! The whole community, all of them, are holy; the LORD is in their midst. Why then should you set yourselves over the LORD'S congregation?"
4 και ακουσας μωυσης επεσεν επι προσωπον	4 When Moses heard this, he fell prostrate.
5 και ελαλησεν προς κορε και προς πασαν αυτου την συναγωγην λεγων επεσκεπται και εγνω ο θεος τους οντας αυτου και τους αγιους και προσηγαγετο προς εαυτον και ους εξελεξατο εαυτω προσηγαγετο προς εαυτον	5 Then he said to Korah and to all his band, "May the LORD make known tomorrow morning who belongs to him and who is the holy one and whom he will have draw near to him! Whom he chooses, he will have draw near him.
6 τουτο ποιησατε λαβετε υμιν αυτοις πυρεια κορε και πασα η συναγωγη αυτου	6 Do this: take your censers (Korah and all his band)
7 και επιθετε επ' αυτα πυρ και επιθετε επ' αυτα θυμιαμα εναντι κυριου αυριον και εσται ο ανηρ ον αν εκλεξηται κυριος ουτος αγιος ικανουσθω υμιν υιοι λευι	7 and put fire in them and place incense in them before the LORD tomorrow. He whom the LORD then chooses is the holy one. Enough from you Levites!"
8 και ειπεν μωυσης προς κορε εισακουσατε μου υιοι λευι	8 Moses also said to Korah, "Listen to me, you Levites!
9 μη μικρον εστιν τουτο υμιν οτι διεστειλεν ο θεος ισραηλ υμας εκ συναγωγης ισραηλ και προσηγαγετο υμας προς εαυτον λειτουργειν τας λειτουργιας της σκηνης κυριου και παριστασθαι εναντι της συναγωγης λατρευειν αυτοις	9 Is it too little for you that the God of Israel has singled you out from the community of Israel, to have you draw near him for the service of the LORD'S Dwelling and to stand before the community to minister for them?
10 και προσηγαγετο σε και παντας τους αδελφους σου υιους λευι μετα σου και ζητειτε ιερατευειν	10 He has allowed you and your kinsmen, the descendants of Levi, to approach him, and yet you now seek the priesthood too.
11 ουτως συ και πασα η συναγωγη σου η συνηθροισμενη προς τον θεον και ααρων τις εστιν οτι διαγογγυζετε κατ' αυτου	11 It is therefore against the LORD that you and all your band are conspiring. For what has Aaron done that you should grumble against him?"
12 και απεστειλεν μωυσης καλεσαι δαθαν και αβιρων υιους ελιαβ και ειπαν ουκ αναβαινομεν	12 Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, but they answered, "We will not go.
13 μη μικρον τουτο οτι ανηγαγες ημας εκ γης ρεουσης γαλα και μελι αποκτειναι ημας εν τη ερημω οτι καταρχεις ημων αρχων	13 Are you not satisfied with having led us here away from a land flowing with milk and honey, to make us perish in the desert, that you must now lord it over us?
14 ει και εις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι εισηγαγες ημας και εδωκας ημιν κληρον αγρου και αμπελωνας τους οφθαλμους των ανθρωπων εκεινων αν εξεκοψας ουκ αναβαινομεν	14 Far from bringing us to a land flowing with milk and honey, or giving us fields and vineyards for our inheritance, will you also gouge out our eyes? No, we will not go."
15 και εβαρυθυμησεν μωυσης σφοδρα και ειπεν προς κυριον μη προσχης εις την θυσιαν αυτων ουκ επιθυμημα ουδενος αυτων ειληφα ουδε εκακωσα ουδενα αυτων	15 Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, "Pay no heed to their offering. I have never taken a single ass from them, nor have I wronged any one of them."
16 και ειπεν μωυσης προς κορε αγιασον την συναγωγην σου και γινεσθε ετοιμοι εναντι κυριου συ και αυτοι και ααρων αυριον	16 Moses said to Korah, "You and all your band shall appear before the LORD tomorrow-you and they and Aaron too.
17 και λαβετε εκαστος το πυρειον αυτου και επιθησετε επ' αυτα θυμιαμα και προσαξετε εναντι κυριου εκαστος το πυρειον αυτου πεντηκοντα και διακοσια πυρεια και συ και ααρων εκαστος το πυρειον αυτου	17 Then each of your two hundred and fifty followers shall take his own censer, put incense in it, and offer it to the LORD; and you and Aaron, each with his own censer, shall do the same."
18 και ελαβεν εκαστος το πυρειον αυτου και επεθηκαν επ' αυτα πυρ και επεβαλον επ' αυτο θυμιαμα και εστησαν παρα τας θυρας της σκηνης του μαρτυριου μωυσης και ααρων	18 So they all took their censers, and laying incense on the fire they had put in them, they took their stand by the entrance of the meeting tent along with Moses and Aaron.
19 και επισυνεστησεν επ' αυτους κορε την πασαν αυτου συναγωγην παρα την θυραν της σκηνης του μαρτυριου και ωφθη η δοξα κυριου παση τη συναγωγη	19 Then, when Korah had assembled all his band against them at the entrance of the meeting tent, the glory of the LORD appeared to the entire community,
20 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην και ααρων λεγων	20 and the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
21 αποσχισθητε εκ μεσου της συναγωγης ταυτης και εξαναλωσω αυτους εις απαξ	21 "Stand apart from this band, that I may consume them at once."
22 και επεσαν επι προσωπον αυτων και ειπαν θεος θεος των πνευματων και πασης σαρκος ει ανθρωπος εις ημαρτεν επι πασαν την συναγωγην οργη κυριου	22 But they fell prostrate and cried out, "O God, God of the spirits of all mankind, will one man's sin make you angry with the whole community?"
23 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων	23 The LORD answered Moses,
24 λαλησον τη συναγωγη λεγων αναχωρησατε κυκλω απο της συναγωγης κορε	24 "Speak to the community and tell them: Withdraw from the space around the Dwelling" (of Korah, Dathan and Abiram).
25 και ανεστη μωυσης και επορευθη προς δαθαν και αβιρων και συνεπορευθησαν μετ' αυτου παντες οι πρεσβυτεροι ισραηλ	25 Moses, followed by the elders of Israel, arose and went to Dathan and Abiram.
26 και ελαλησεν προς την συναγωγην λεγων αποσχισθητε απο των σκηνων των ανθρωπων των σκληρων τουτων και μη απτεσθε απο παντων ων εστιν αυτοις μη συναπολησθε εν παση τη αμαρτια αυτων	26 Then he warned the community, "Keep away from the tents of these wicked men and do not touch anything that is theirs: otherwise you too will be swept away because of all their sins."
27 και απεστησαν απο της σκηνης κορε κυκλω και δαθαν και αβιρων εξηλθον και ειστηκεισαν παρα τας θυρας των σκηνων αυτων και αι γυναικες αυτων και τα τεκνα αυτων και η αποσκευη αυτων	27 When Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing at the entrances of their tents with their wives and sons and little ones,
28 και ειπεν μωυσης εν τουτω γνωσεσθε οτι κυριος απεστειλεν με ποιησαι παντα τα εργα ταυτα οτι ουκ απ' εμαυτου	28 Moses said, "This is how you shall know that it was the LORD who sent me to do all I have done, and that it was not I who planned it:
29 ει κατα θανατον παντων ανθρωπων αποθανουνται ουτοι ει και κατ' επισκεψιν παντων ανθρωπων επισκοπη εσται αυτων ουχι κυριος απεσταλκεν με	29 if these men die an ordinary death, merely suffering the fate common to all mankind, then it was not the LORD who sent me.
30 αλλ' η εν φασματι δειξει κυριος και ανοιξασα η γη το στομα αυτης καταπιεται αυτους και τους οικους αυτων και τας σκηνας αυτων και παντα οσα εστιν αυτοις και καταβησονται ζωντες εις αδου και γνωσεσθε οτι παρωξυναν οι ανθρωποι ουτοι τον κυριον	30 But if the LORD does something entirely new, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them alive down into the nether world, with all belonging to them, then you will know that these men have defied the LORD."
31 ως δε επαυσατο λαλων παντας τους λογους τουτους ερραγη η γη υποκατω αυτων	31 No sooner had he finished saying all this than the ground beneath them split open,
32 και ηνοιχθη η γη και κατεπιεν αυτους και τους οικους αυτων και παντας τους ανθρωπους τους οντας μετα κορε και τα κτηνη αυτων	32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their families (and all of Korah's men) and all their possessions.
33 και κατεβησαν αυτοι και οσα εστιν αυτων ζωντα εις αδου και εκαλυψεν αυτους η γη και απωλοντο εκ μεσου της συναγωγης	33 They went down alive to the nether world with all belonging to them; the earth closed over them, and they perished from the community.
34 και πας ισραηλ οι κυκλω αυτων εφυγον απο της φωνης αυτων οτι λεγοντες μηποτε καταπιη ημας η γη	34 But all the Israelites near them fled at their shrieks, saying, "The earth might swallow us too!"
35 και πυρ εξηλθεν παρα κυριου και κατεφαγεν τους πεντηκοντα και διακοσιους ανδρας τους προσφεροντας το θυμιαμα	35 So they withdrew from the space around the Dwelling (of Korah, Dathan and Abiram). And fire from the LORD came forth which consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the incense.
