Numbers 16

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 Now Korah son of Izhar, son of Kohath the Levite, and the Reubenites Dathan and Abiram sons ofEliab, and On son of Peleth were proud	1 Ecce autem Core filius Isaar, filii Caath, filii Levi, et Dathan atque Abiron filii Eliab, Hon quoque filius Pheleth de filiis Ruben,
2 and rebel ed against Moses with two hundred and fifty Israelites who were leaders of the community,prominent at the solemn feasts, men of repute.	2 surrexerunt contra Moysen, aliique filiorum Israël ducenti quinquaginta viri proceres synagogæ, et qui tempore concilii per nomina vocabantur.
3 These banded together against Moses and Aaron and said to them, 'You take too much onyourselves! The whole community, al its members, are consecrated, and Yahweh lives among them. Why setyourselves higher than Yahweh's community?'	3 Cumque stetissent adversum Moysen et Aaron, dixerunt : Sufficiat vobis, quia omnis multitudo sanctorum est, et in ipsis est Dominus : cur elevamini super populum Domini ?
4 On hearing this, Moses threw himself on his face.	4 Quod cum audisset Moyses, cecidit pronus in faciem :
5 Then he said to Korah and al in his party, 'Tomorrow morning Yahweh wil reveal who is his, who theconsecrated man whom he wil al ow to approach him. The one he al ows to approach is the one whom he haschosen.	5 locutusque ad Core et ad omnem multitudinem : Mane, inquit, notum faciet Dominus qui ad se pertineant, et sanctos applicabit sibi : et quos elegerit, appropinquabunt ei.
6 This is what you must do: take the censers of Korah and al in his party,	6 Hoc igitur facite : tollat unusquisque thuribula sua, tu Core, et omne concilium tuum :
7 put fire in them and put incense in them before Yahweh tomorrow, and the one whom Yahwehchooses wil be the consecrated man. Levites, you take too much on yourselves!'	7 et hausto cras igne, ponite desuper thymiama coram Domino : et quemcumque elegerit, ipse erit sanctus : multum erigimini filii Levi.
8 Moses then said to Korah, 'Now listen, you Levites!	8 Dixitque rursum ad Core : Audite, filii Levi :
9 Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has singled you out of the community of Israel, andcal ed you to be near him, to serve in Yahweh's Dwel ing and to represent the community by officiating on itsbehalf?	9 num parum vobis est quod separavit vos Deus Israël ab omni populo, et junxit sibi, ut serviretis ei in cultu tabernaculi, et staretis coram frequentia populi, et ministraretis ei ?
10 He has cal ed you to be near him, you and al your brother Levites with you, and now you want to bepriests as wel !	10 idcirco ad se fecit accedere te et omnes fratres tuos filios Levi, ut vobis etiam sacerdotium vindicetis,
11 For which reason, you and al in your party have banded together against Yahweh himself: for whatis Aaron, that you should mutter against him?'	11 et omnis globus tuus stet contra Dominum ? quid est enim Aaron ut murmuretis contra eum ?
12 Moses then summoned Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab. They replied, 'We wil not come.	12 Misit ergo Moyses ut vocaret Dathan et Abiron filios Eliab. Qui responderunt : Non venimus.
13 Is it not enough for you to have brought us away from a country flowing with milk and honey to kil usin the desert, without your making yourself our absolute ruler?	13 Numquid parum est tibi quod eduxisti nos de terra, quæ lacte et melle manabat, ut occideres in deserto, nisi et dominatus fueris nostri ?
14 What is more, you have not brought us to a country flowing with milk and honey and you have notgiven us fields and vineyards for our heritage. Do you think you can hoodwink these people? We wil not come.'	14 Revera induxisti nos in terram, quæ fluit rivis lactis et mellis, et dedisti nobis possessiones agrorum et vinearum : an et oculos nostros vis eruere ? non venimus.
15 Moses flew into a rage and said to Yahweh, 'Disregard their cereal offering! I have not taken somuch as a donkey from them, nor have I wronged any of them.'	15 Iratusque Moyses valde, ait ad Dominum : Ne respicias sacrificia eorum : tu scis quod ne asellum quidem umquam acceperim ab eis, nec afflixerim quempiam eorum.
16 Moses said to Korah, 'You and all your party, come before Yahweh tomorrow, you and they, andAaron too.	16 Dixitque ad Core : Tu, et omnis congregatio tua, state seorsum coram Domino, et Aaron die crastino separatim.
17 Each wil take his censer, put incense in it, and bring his censer before Yahweh -- two hundred andfifty censers. You and Aaron too wil each bring his censer.'	17 Tollite singuli thuribula vestra, et ponite super ea incensum, offerentes Domino ducenta quinquaginta thuribula : Aaron quoque teneat thuribulum suum.
18 Each of them took his censer, put fire in it and placed incense on it, and stood at the entrance to theTent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.	18 Quod cum fecissent, stantibus Moyses et Aaron,
19 Then, Korah having assembled the whole community to confront them at the entrance to the Tent ofMeeting, the glory of Yahweh appeared to the whole community.	19 et coacervassent adversum eos omnem multitudinem ad ostium tabernaculi, apparuit cunctis gloria Domini.
20 Yahweh then spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said,	20 Locutusque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, ait :
21 'Get away from this community. I am going to destroy them here and now.'	21 Separamini de medio congregationis hujus, ut eos repente disperdam.
22 They threw themselves on their faces and cried out, 'O God, God of the spirits that give life to everyliving thing, wil you be angry with the whole community because one man has sinned?'	22 Qui ceciderunt proni in faciem, atque dixerunt : Fortissime Deus spirituum universæ carnis, num uno peccante, contra omnes ira tua desæviet ?
23 Yahweh then said to Moses,	23 Et ait Dominus ad Moysen :
24 'Speak to the community and say, "Stand wel clear of Korah's tent." '	24 Præcipe universo populo ut separetur a tabernaculis Core et Dathan et Abiron.
25 Moses stood up and went to Dathan and Abiram; the elders of Israel fol owed him.	25 Surrexitque Moyses, et abiit ad Dathan et Abiron : et sequentibus eum senioribus Israël,
26 He spoke to the community and said, 'Stand away, I tel you, from the tents of these sinners, andtouch nothing that belongs to them, for fear that with all their sins you too wil be swept away.'	26 dixit ad turbam : Recedite a tabernaculis hominum impiorum, et nolite tangere quæ ad eos pertinent, ne involvamini in peccatis eorum.
27 So they moved away from Korah's tent. Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing attheir tent doors, with their wives, their sons and their little ones.	27 Cumque recessissent a tentoriis eorum per circuitum, Dathan et Abiron egressi stabant in introitu papilionum suorum cum uxoribus et liberis, omnique frequentia.
28 Moses said, 'This is how you will know that Yahweh himself has sent me to perform al these tasksand that I am not doing them of my own accord.	28 Et ait Moyses : In hoc scietis quod Dominus miserit me ut facerem universa quæ cernitis, et non ex proprio ea corde protulerim :
29 If these people die a natural death such as people commonly die, then Yahweh has not sent me.	29 si consueta hominum morte interierint, et visitaverit eos plaga, qua et ceteri visitari solent, non misit me Dominus :
30 But if Yahweh does something utterly new, if the earth should open its mouth and swal ow them andal their belongings, so that they go down alive to Sheol, then you wil know that they held Yahweh in contempt.'	30 sin autem novam rem fecerit Dominus, ut aperiens terra os suum deglutiat eos et omnia quæ ad illos pertinent, descenderintque viventes in infernum, scietis quod blasphemaverint Dominum.
31 The moment he finished saying all this, the ground split apart under their feet,	31 Confestim igitur ut cessavit loqui, dirupta est terra sub pedibus eorum :
32 the earth opened its mouth and swal owed them, their families, all Korah's people and al theirproperty.	32 et aperiens os suum, devoravit illos cum tabernaculis suis et universa substantia eorum,
33 They went down alive to Sheol with al their belongings. The earth closed over them and theydisappeared in the middle of the community.	33 descenderuntque vivi in infernum operti humo, et perierunt de medio multitudinis.
34 At their cries, all the Israelites round them took to their heels, saying, 'We do not want the earth toswal ow us too!'	34 At vero omnis Israël, qui stabat per gyrum, fugit ad clamorem pereuntium, dicens : Ne forte et nos terra deglutiat.
35 Fire then shot out from Yahweh and consumed the two hundred and fifty men offering incense.	35 Sed et ignis egressus a Domino interfecit ducentos quinquaginta viros, qui offerebant incensum.
	36 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :
	37 Præcipe Eleazaro filio Aaron sacerdoti ut tollat thuribula quæ jacent in incendio, et ignem huc illucque dispergat : quoniam sanctificata sunt
	38 in mortibus peccatorum : producatque ea in laminas, et affigat altari, eo quod oblatum sit in eis incensum Domino, et sanctificata sint, ut cernant ea pro signo et monimento filii Israël.
	39 Tulit ergo Eleazar sacerdos thuribula ænea, in quibus obtulerant hi quos incendium devoravit, et produxit ea in laminas, affigens altari :
	40 ut haberent postea filii Israël, 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 ejus, loquente Domino ad Moysen.
	41 Murmuravit autem omnis multitudo filiorum Israël sequenti die contra Moysen et Aaron, dicens : Vos interfecistis populum Domini.
	42 Cumque oriretur seditio, et tumultus incresceret,
	43 Moyses et Aaron fugerunt ad tabernaculum fœderis. Quod, postquam ingressi sunt, operuit nubes, et apparuit gloria Domini.
	44 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen :
	45 Recedite de medio hujus multitudinis, etiam nunc delebo eos. Cumque jacerent in terra,
	46 dixit Moyses ad Aaron : Tolle thuribulum, et hausto igne de altari, mitte incensum desuper, pergens cito ad populum, ut roges pro eis : jam enim egressa est ira a Domino, et plaga desævit.
	47 Quod cum fecisset Aaron, et cucurrisset ad mediam multitudinem, quam jam vastabat incendium, obtulit thymiama :
	48 et stans inter mortuos ac viventes, pro populo deprecatus est, et plaga cessavit.
	49 Fuerunt autem qui percussi sunt, quatuordecim millia hominum, et septingenti, absque his qui perierant in seditione Core.
	50 Reversusque est Aaron ad Moysen ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis postquam quievit interitus.
