Números 16

BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Coré, hijo de Yishar, hijo de Quehat, hijo de Leví, Datán y Abirón, hijos de Eliab, y On, hijo de Pélet, hijos de Rubén, se enorgullecieron,	1 And behold Core the son of Isaar, the son of Caath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, and Hon the son of Pheleth of the children of Ruben,
2 y se alzaron contra Moisés junto con 250 israelitas, principales de la comunidad, distinguidos en la asamblea, personajes famosos.	2 Rose lap against Moses, and with them two hundred and fifty others of the children of Israel, leading men of the synagogue, and who in the time of assembly were called by name.
3 Se amotinaron contra Moisés y Aarón y les dijeron: «Esto ya pasa de la raya. Toda la comunidad entera, todos ellos están consagrados y Yahveh está en medio de ellos. ¿Por qué, pues, os encumbráis por encima de la asamblea de Yahveh?»	3 And when they had stood up against Moses and Aaron, they said: Let it be enough for you, that all the multitude consisteth of holy ones, and the Lord is among them: Why lift you up yourselves above the people of the Lord?
4 Lo oyó Moisés y cayó rostro en tierra.	4 When Moses heard this, he fell flat on his face:
5 Dijo luego a Coré y a toda su cuadrilla: «Mañana por la mañana hará saber Yahveh quién es el suyo, quién es el consagrado y le dejará acercarse. Al que Yahveh haya elegido le dejará acercarse.	5 And speaking to Core and all the multitude, he said: In the morning the Lord will make known who belong to him, and the holy he will join to himself: and whom he shall choose, they shall approach to him.
6 Mirad, pues, lo que habéis de hacer: Tomad los incensarios de Coré y de toda su cuadrilla,	6 Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company.
7 ponedles fuego y mañana les echaréis incienso ante Yahveh. Aquel a quien elija Yahveh, será el consagrado; ¡esto ya pasa de la raya, hijos de Leví!»	7 And putting fire in them to morrow, put incense upon it before the Lord: and whomsoever he shall choose, the same shall be holy: you take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
8 Dijo Moisés a Coré: «Oídme, hijos de Leví.	8 And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi.
9 ¿Os parece poco que el Dios de Israel os haya apartado de la comunidad de Israel para ponerlos junto a sí, prestar el servicio a la Morada de Yahveh y estar al frente de la comunidad atendiendo al culto en lugar de ella?	9 Is it a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath spared you from all the people, and joined you to himself, that you should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and should stand before the congregation of the people, and should minister to him?
10 Te ha puesto junto a sí, a ti y a todos tus hermanos, los hijos de Leví, y ¡todavía se os ha antojado el sacerdocio!	10 Did he therefore make thee and all thy brethren the sons of Levi to approach unto him, that you should challenge to yourselves the priesthood also,
11 Por eso, contra Yahveh os habéis amotinado, tú y toda tu cuadrilla; porque ¿quién es Aarón, para que murmuréis contra él?»	11 And that all thy company should stand against the Lord ? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?
12 Mandó Moisés llamar a Datán y Abirón, hijos de Eliab. Pero ellos respondieron: «No queremos ir.	12 Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.
13 ¿Te parece poco habernos sacado de una tierra que mana leche y miel para hacernos morir en el desierto, que todavía te eriges como príncipe sobre nosotros?	13 Is it a small matter to thee, that thou hast brought us out of a land that flowed with milk and honey, to kill us in the desert, except thou rule also like a lord over us?
14 No nos has traído a ningún país que mana leche y miel, ni nos has dado una herencia de campos y vergeles. ¿Pretendes cegar los ojos de estos hombres? ¡No iremos!»	14 Thou best brought us indeed into a land that floweth with rivers of milk and honey, and hast given us possessions of fields and vineyards; wilt thou also pull out our eyes? We will not come.
15 Moisés se enojó mucho y dijo a Yahveh: «No mires a su oblación. Yo no les he quitado ni un solo asno, ni le he hecho mal a ninguno de ellos.»	15 Moses therefore being very angry, raid to the Lord: Respect not their sacrifices: thou knowest that I have not taken of them so much as a young ass at any time, nor have injured any of them.
16 Dijo Moisés a Coré: «Tú y toda tu cuadrilla presentaos mañana delante de Yahveh: tú, ellos y Aarón.	16 And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord to morrow, and Aaron apart.
17 Que tome cada uno su incensario, le ponga incienso y lo presente delante de Yahveh; cada uno su incensario: 250 incensarios en total. Tú también, y Aarón, presentad cada uno vuestro incensario.»	17 Take every one of you censers, and put incense upon them, offering to the Lord two hundred and fifty censers: let Aaron also hold his censer.
18 Tomaron cada uno su incensario, le pusieron fuego, le echaron incienso y se presentaron a la entrada de la Tienda del Encuentro, lo mismo que Moisés y Aarón.	18 When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing,
19 Coré convocó ante éstos a toda la comunidad a la puerta de la Tienda del Encuentro y se apareció la gloria de Yahveh a toda la comunidad.	19 And had drawn up all the multitude against them to the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.
20 Habló Yahveh a Moisés y Aarón y les dijo:	20 And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
21 «Apartaos de esa comunidad, que los voy a devorar en un instante.»	21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them.
22 Ellos cayeron rostro en tierra y clamaron: «Oh Dios, Dios de los espíritus de toda carne: un solo hombre ha pecado, ¿y te enojas con toda la comunidad?»	22 They fell flat on their face, and said: O most mighty, the God of the spirits of all flesh, for one man's sin shall thy wrath rage against all?
23 Respondió Yahveh a Moisés:	23 And the Lord said to Moses:
24 «Habla a esa comunidad y diles: Alejaos de los alrededores de la morada de Coré.»	24 Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron.
25 Se levantó Moisés y fue donde Datán y Abirón; los ancianos de Israel le siguieron.	25 And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following him,
26 Y habló a la comunidad diciendo: «Apartaos, por favor, de las tiendas de estos hombres malvados, y no toquéis nada de cuanto les pertenece, no sea que perezcáis por todos sus pecados.»	26 He said to the multitude: Depart from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be involved in their sins.
27 Ellos se apartaron de los alrededores de la morada de Coré. Datán y Abirón habían salido y estaban a la puerta de sus tiendas, con sus mujeres, hijos y pequeñuelos.	27 And when they were departed from their tents round about, Dathan and Abiron coming out stood in the entry of their pavilions with their wives and children, and all the people.
28 Moisés dijo: «En esto conoceréis que Yahveh me ha enviado para hacer todas estas obras, y que no es ocurrencia mía:	28 And Moses said: By this you shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all things that you see, and that I have not forged them of my own head:
29 si mueren estos hombres como muere cualquier mortal, alcanzados por la sentencia común a todo hombre, es que Yahveh no me ha enviado.	29 If these men die the common death of men, and if they be visited with a plague, wherewith others also are wont to be visited, the Lord did not send me.
30 Pero si Yahveh obra algo portentoso, si la tierra abre su boca y los traga con todo lo que les pertenece, y bajan vivos al seol, sabréis que esos hombres han rechazado a Yahveh.	30 But if the Lord do a new thing, and the earth opening her mouth swallow them down, and all things that belong to them, and they go down alive into hell, you shall know that they have blasphemed the Lord.
31 Y sucedió que, nada más terminar de decir estas palabras, se abrió el suelo debajo de ellos;	31 And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet:
32 la tierra abrió su boca y se los tragó, con todas sus familias, así como a todos los hombres de Coré, con todos sus bienes.	32 And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance.
33 Bajaron vivos al seol con todo lo que tenían. Los cubrió la tierra y desaparecieron de la asamblea.	33 And they went down alive into hell the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people.
34 A sus gritos huyeron todos los israelitas que estaban a su alrededor, pues se decían: «No vaya a tragarnos la tierra.»	34 But all Israel, that was standing round about, fled at the cry of them that were perishing: saying: Lest perhaps the earth swallow us up also.
35 Brotó fuego de Yahveh, que devoró a los 250 hombres que habían ofrecido el incienso.	35 And a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
	36 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
	37 Command Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers that lie in the burning, and to scatter the fire of one side and the other: because they are sanctified
	38 In the deaths of the sinners: and let him beat them into plates, and fasten them to the altar, because incense hath been offered in them to the Lord, and they are sanctified, that the children of Israel may see them for a sign and a memorial.
	39 Then Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherein they had offered, whom the burning fire had devoured, and beat them into plates, fastening them to the altar:
	40 That the children of Israel might have for the time to come wherewith they should be admonished, that no stranger or any one that is not of seed of Aaron should come near to offer incense to the Lord, lest he should suffer as Core suffered, and all his congregation, according as the Lord spoke to Moses.
	41 The following day all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: You have killed the people of the Lord.
	42 And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
	43 Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when the were gone into it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
	44 And the Lord said to Moses:
	45 Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground,
	46 Moses said to Aaron: Take the censer, and putting fire in it from the altar, put incense upon it, and go quickly to the people to pray for them: for already wrath is gone out from the Lord, and the plague rageth.
	47 When Aaron had done this, and had run to the midst of the multitude which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense:
	48 And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.
	49 And the number of them that were slain was fourteen thousand and seven hundred men, besides them that had perished in the sedition of Core.
	50 And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over.
