Chinese New Version (Traditional)
可拉、大坍和亞比蘭叛變
16 利未的曾孫、哥轄的孫子、以斯哈的兒子可拉，和流本子孫中以利押的兒子大坍、亞比蘭，與比勒的兒子安，帶著人來， 2 反抗摩西，還有以色列人中的二百五十個人，就是會眾的領袖；會眾中被選出有名望的人。 3 他們聚集起來反抗摩西和亞倫，對他們說：“你們太過分了，全體會眾個個都是聖潔的，耶和華也在他們中間，你們為甚麼高抬自己，超過耶和華的會眾呢？”
4 摩西聽見了，就臉伏於地， 5 對可拉和他的同黨說：“到了早晨，耶和華就要使人知道誰是屬他的；誰是聖潔的，就叫誰親近他；誰是他揀選的，就叫誰親近他。 6 你們要這樣作：可拉和你的同黨，你們要拿香爐來； 7 明天你們要在耶和華面前，把火盛在爐中，把香放在上面；耶和華揀選誰，誰就是聖潔的，你們利未人太過分了。”
8 摩西又對可拉說：“利未人哪，請聽。 9 以色列的 神把你們從以色列會眾中分別出來，使你們親近他，辦理耶和華帳幕的事務，又站在會眾面前替他們供職； 10 耶和華又使你和你所有的兄弟，就是利未的子孫，一同親近他，這在你們看來是小事嗎？你們還要尋求祭司職分嗎？ 11 所以你和你的同黨聚集起來反抗耶和華；亞倫算甚麼呢？你們竟向他發怨言。”
12 摩西派人去把以利押的兒子大坍和亞比蘭叫來；他們說：“我們不上去。 13 你把我們從流奶與蜜的地帶上來，要在曠野殺死我們，這算小事嗎？你還要自立為王管轄我們嗎？ 14 況且你沒有把我們領到流奶與蜜的地，也沒有把田地和葡萄園給我們作產業。難道你要把這些人的眼睛剜出來嗎？我們不上去。”
15 於是摩西大怒，對耶和華說：“求你不要悅納他們的禮物，我沒有奪過他們一頭驢，也沒有害過他們一個人。”
他們的刑罰
16 摩西對可拉說：“明天你和你的同黨，以及亞倫，都要站在耶和華面前。 17 你們各人要拿著自己的香爐，把香盛在上面；你們各人要把自己的香爐帶到耶和華面前，共二百五十個香爐；你和亞倫也各人拿著自己的香爐。” 18 於是，他們各人拿著自己的香爐，盛上火，加上香，與摩西和亞倫一同站在會幕門口。 19 可拉召聚了全體會眾到會幕門口，來攻擊摩西和亞倫，耶和華的榮光就向全體會眾顯現。
20 耶和華對摩西和亞倫說： 21 “你們要離開這會眾，我好在眨眼間把他們吞滅。” 22 摩西和亞倫就俯伏在地，說：“ 神啊，萬人之靈的 神啊，一人犯罪，你就要向全體會眾發怒嗎？” 23 耶和華對摩西說： 24 “你要吩咐會眾說：‘你們要離開可拉、大坍、亞比蘭帳幕的四周。’”
25 於是摩西起來，到大坍和亞比蘭那裡去；以色列的長老也隨著他去了。 26 摩西告訴會眾：“你們要遠離這些惡人的帳幕，凡是他們的東西，你們都不可摸，免得你們因他們的一切罪惡同遭毀滅。” 27 於是，眾人離開了可拉、大坍、亞比蘭帳幕的四周；大坍、亞比蘭就帶著妻子、兒女和小孩出來，站在自己的帳幕門口。 28 摩西說：“由此你們可以知道，我作這一切事，是耶和華派我作的，並不是出於我自己的心意。 29 如果這些人死亡像一般人死亡一樣，或是他們所遭遇的像一般人的遭遇一樣，那麼就不是耶和華派我來的。 30 如果耶和華作一件新事，使地開口，把他們和他們所有的都吞下去，叫他們活活地下到陰間，這樣你們就知道這些人是藐視耶和華了。”
31 摩西說完了這一切話，他們腳下的地就裂開。 32 地開了口，把他們和他們的家眷，以及一切屬可拉的人和財物，都吞了下去。 33 這樣，他們和一切屬他們的，都活活地下到陰間，地在他們上面合閉，他們就從會眾中滅亡了。 34 在他們四周的以色列眾人，聽見他們的呼叫，就都逃跑，說：“恐怕地也把我們吞下去。” 35 又有火從耶和華那裡出來，把那獻香的二百五十個人吞滅了。
留作記念的香爐
36 耶和華對摩西說： 37 “你要吩咐亞倫祭司的兒子以利亞撒，叫他把那些香爐從火中拾起來，把火撒在別處，因為那些香爐是聖的； 38 那些犯罪而自害己命的人的香爐也是聖的，你們要把它們錘成薄片，用來包蓋祭壇；那些香爐本是他們在耶和華面前獻過的，所以已經成為聖的，並且可以給以色列作鑒戒。” 39 於是，以利亞撒祭司把被火焚燒的人獻過的銅香爐拿起來，叫人錘成薄片，用來包蓋祭壇， 40 給以色列人作鑒戒，叫不是亞倫子孫的外人，不可近前來，在耶和華面前燒香，免得他像可拉和他的同黨有一樣的遭遇；這是照著耶和華藉摩西吩咐以利亞撒的。
會眾因亞倫代求而獲救
41 第二天，以色列全體會眾都向摩西和亞倫發怨言，說：“你們害死了耶和華的子民。” 42 會眾聚集攻擊摩西和亞倫的時候，他們轉身向會幕觀看，見有雲彩遮蓋會幕，耶和華的榮光顯現出來。 43 摩西和亞倫就來到會幕前面。 44 耶和華吩咐摩西說： 45 “你們要離開這會眾，我好在眨眼間把他們消滅。”他們二人就俯伏在地。 46 摩西對亞倫說：“你要拿著香爐，把壇上的火盛在裡頭，又加上香，快快帶到會眾那裡去，為他們贖罪，因為有震怒從耶和華面前出來，瘟疫已經開始了。” 47 亞倫照著摩西吩咐的把香爐拿來，跑到會眾中間，果然，瘟疫已經在人民中間開始了；他就加上香，為人民贖罪。 48 他站在死人與活人中間，瘟疫就止住了。 49 除了因可拉事件死亡的以外，因瘟疫死亡的有一萬四千七百人。 50 亞倫回到會幕門口摩西那裡，瘟疫已經止住了。（本章第36~50節在《馬索拉文本》為17:1~15）
Numbers 16

Numbers 16
New International Version
Korah, Dathan and Abiram
16 Korah(A) son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and certain Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram(B), sons of Eliab,(C) and On son of Peleth—became insolent[a] 2 and rose up against Moses.(D) With them were 250 Israelite men, well-known community leaders who had been appointed members of the council.(E) 3 They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron(F) and said to them, “You have gone too far! The whole community is holy,(G) every one of them, and the Lord is with them.(H) Why then do you set yourselves above the Lord’s assembly?”(I)
4 When Moses heard this, he fell facedown.(J) 5 Then he said to Korah and all his followers: “In the morning the Lord will show who belongs to him and who is holy,(K) and he will have that person come near him.(L) The man he chooses(M) he will cause to come near him. 6 You, Korah, and all your followers(N) are to do this: Take censers(O) 7 and tomorrow put burning coals(P) and incense(Q) in them before the Lord. The man the Lord chooses(R) will be the one who is holy.(S) You Levites have gone too far!”
8 Moses also said to Korah, “Now listen, you Levites! 9 Isn’t it enough(T) for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the Israelite community and brought you near himself to do the work at the Lord’s tabernacle and to stand before the community and minister to them?(U) 10 He has brought you and all your fellow Levites near himself, but now you are trying to get the priesthood too.(V) 11 It is against the Lord that you and all your followers have banded together. Who is Aaron that you should grumble(W) against him?(X)”
12 Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram,(Y) the sons of Eliab. But they said, “We will not come!(Z) 13 Isn’t it enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey(AA) to kill us in the wilderness?(AB) And now you also want to lord it over us!(AC) 14 Moreover, you haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey(AD) or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards.(AE) Do you want to treat these men like slaves[b]?(AF) No, we will not come!(AG)”
15 Then Moses became very angry(AH) and said to the Lord, “Do not accept their offering. I have not taken so much as a donkey(AI) from them, nor have I wronged any of them.”
16 Moses said to Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the Lord tomorrow—you and they and Aaron.(AJ) 17 Each man is to take his censer and put incense in it—250 censers in all—and present it before the Lord. You and Aaron are to present your censers also.(AK)” 18 So each of them took his censer,(AL) put burning coals and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 19 When Korah had gathered all his followers in opposition to them(AM) at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the glory of the Lord(AN) appeared to the entire assembly. 20 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 21 “Separate yourselves(AO) from this assembly so I can put an end to them at once.”(AP)
22 But Moses and Aaron fell facedown(AQ) and cried out, “O God, the God who gives breath to all living things,(AR) will you be angry with the entire assembly(AS) when only one man sins?”(AT)
23 Then the Lord said to Moses, 24 “Say to the assembly, ‘Move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.’”
25 Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel(AU) followed him. 26 He warned the assembly, “Move back from the tents of these wicked men!(AV) Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away(AW) because of all their sins.(AX)” 27 So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.(AY) Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing with their wives, children(AZ) and little ones at the entrances to their tents.(BA)
28 Then Moses said, “This is how you will know(BB) that the Lord has sent me(BC) to do all these things and that it was not my idea: 29 If these men die a natural death and suffer the fate of all mankind, then the Lord has not sent me.(BD) 30 But if the Lord brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth(BE) and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the realm of the dead,(BF) then you will know that these men have treated the Lord with contempt.(BG)”
31 As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart(BH) 32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them(BI) and their households, and all those associated with Korah, together with their possessions. 33 They went down alive into the realm of the dead,(BJ) with everything they owned; the earth closed over them, and they perished and were gone from the community. 34 At their cries, all the Israelites around them fled, shouting, “The earth is going to swallow us too!”
35 And fire came out from the Lord(BK) and consumed(BL) the 250 men who were offering the incense.
36 The Lord said to Moses, 37 “Tell Eleazar(BM) son of Aaron, the priest, to remove the censers(BN) from the charred remains and scatter the coals some distance away, for the censers are holy— 38 the censers of the men who sinned at the cost of their lives.(BO) Hammer the censers into sheets to overlay the altar,(BP) for they were presented before the Lord and have become holy. Let them be a sign(BQ) to the Israelites.”
39 So Eleazar the priest(BR) collected the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned to death,(BS) and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar, 40 as the Lord directed him through Moses. This was to remind the Israelites that no one except a descendant of Aaron should come to burn incense(BT) before the Lord,(BU) or he would become like Korah and his followers.(BV)
41 The next day the whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. “You have killed the Lord’s people,” they said.
42 But when the assembly gathered in opposition(BW) to Moses and Aaron and turned toward the tent of meeting, suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the Lord(BX) appeared. 43 Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the tent of meeting, 44 and the Lord said to Moses, 45 “Get away from this assembly so I can put an end(BY) to them at once.” And they fell facedown.
46 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer(BZ) and put incense in it, along with burning coals from the altar, and hurry to the assembly(CA) to make atonement(CB) for them. Wrath has come out from the Lord;(CC) the plague(CD) has started.” 47 So Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly. The plague had already started among the people,(CE) but Aaron offered the incense and made atonement for them. 48 He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague stopped.(CF) 49 But 14,700 people died from the plague, in addition to those who had died because of Korah.(CG) 50 Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the tent of meeting, for the plague had stopped.[c]
