Números 16

BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
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 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:
2 y se alzaron contra Moisés junto con 250 israelitas, principales de la comunidad, distinguidos en la asamblea, personajes famosos.	2 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:
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 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?
4 Lo oyó Moisés y cayó rostro en tierra.	4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon 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 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.
6 Mirad, pues, lo que habéis de hacer: Tomad los incensarios de Coré y de toda su cuadrilla,	6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his 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 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.
8 Dijo Moisés a Coré: «Oídme, hijos de Leví.	8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, 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 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?
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 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye 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 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
12 Mandó Moisés llamar a Datán y Abirón, hijos de Eliab. Pero ellos respondieron: «No queremos ir.	12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
16 Dijo Moisés a Coré: «Tú y toda tu cuadrilla presentaos mañana delante de Yahveh: tú, ellos y Aarón.	16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
20 Habló Yahveh a Moisés y Aarón y les dijo:	20 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 «Apartaos de esa comunidad, que los voy a devorar en un instante.»	21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
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 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?
23 Respondió Yahveh a Moisés:	23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24 «Habla a esa comunidad y diles: Alejaos de los alrededores de la morada de Coré.»	24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25 Se levantó Moisés y fue donde Datán y Abirón; los ancianos de Israel le siguieron.	25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed 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 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.
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 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.
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, 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.
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 all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent 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 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.
31 Y sucedió que, nada más terminar de decir estas palabras, se abrió el suelo debajo de ellos;	31 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:
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 the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
33 Bajaron vivos al seol con todo lo que tenían. Los cubrió la tierra y desaparecieron de la asamblea.	33 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.
34 A sus gritos huyeron todos los israelitas que estaban a su alrededor, pues se decían: «No vaya a tragarnos la tierra.»	34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
35 Brotó fuego de Yahveh, que devoró a los 250 hombres que habían ofrecido el incienso.	35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
	36 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
	37 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.
	38 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.
	39 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:
	40 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.
	41 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.
	42 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.
	43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
	44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
	45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
	46 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.
	47 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.
	48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
	49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
	50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
