| Vers | Czech CEP † | English: King James Version |
| 1 | Lévijec Kórach, syn Jishára, syna Kehatova, přibral Dátana a Abírama, syny Elíabovy, též Óna, syna Peletova, Rúbenovce, | 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 | a s dvěma sty padesáti muži povstali proti Mojžíšovi; byli to Izraelci, předáci pospolitosti, kteří zastupovali lid při slavnostech, muži pověstní. | 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 | Shromáždili se proti Mojžíšovi a Áronovi a vyčítali jim: "Příliš mnoho si osobujete. Celá pospolitost, všichni v ní jsou svatí a Hospodin je uprostřed nich. Proč se povznášíte nad Hospodinovo shromáždění?" | 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 |
| 4 | Když to Mojžíš uslyšel, padl na tvář. | And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: |
| 5 | Potom promluvil ke Kórachovi a celé jeho skupině: "Ráno oznámí Hospodin, kdo je jeho a kdo je svatý, komu tedy dovolí, aby k němu přistupoval. Koho vyvolí, tomu dovolí, aby k němu přistupoval. | 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 | Udělejte toto: Vezměte si kadidelnice, Kórach a celá jeho skupina, | This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company; |
| 7 | a zítra do nich dejte oheň a vložte na ně před Hospodinem kadidlo. Muž, kterého vyvolí Hospodin, ten bude svatý. Příliš mnoho si osobujete, Léviovci!" | 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 | Potom řekl Mojžíš Kórachovi: "Nuže poslyšte, Léviovci. | And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi: |
| 9 | Je vám to málo, že vás Bůh Izraele oddělil od pospolitosti Izraele a dovolil, abyste k němu přistupovali, vykonávali službu při Hospodinově příbytku, stáli před pospolitostí a přisluhovali jí? | 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 ministe |
| 10 | Dovolil přistupovat tobě i všem tvým bratřím Léviovcům s tebou. A vy se domáháte i kněžského úřadu. | 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 | To znamená, že ty a celá tvoje skupina se srocujete proti Hospodinu. Co je Áron, že proti němu reptáte?" | 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 | Nato dal Mojžíš předvolat Dátana a Abírama, syny Elíabovy. Odpověděli: "Nepřijdeme. | And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up: |
| 13 | Což je to málo, že jsi nás vyvedl ze země oplývající mlékem a medem, abys nás umořil na poušti? To se ještě opovažuješ dělat ze sebe nad námi velitele? | 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 | Ještě jsi nás neuvedl do země oplývající mlékem a medem, ještě jsi nám nedal do dědictví pole ani vinice. To chceš vyloupnout těmto mužům oči? Nepřijdeme." | 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 | Mojžíš zlobně vzplanul a volal k Hospodinu: "Neobracej se k jejich obětním darům. Ani jediného osla jsem od nich nevzal a nikomu z nich jsem neudělal nic zlého." | 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 | Mojžíš potom Kórachovi nařídil: "Ty a celá tvoje skupina buďte zde před Hospodinem. Zítra tu budete, ty, oni i Áron. | And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow: |
| 17 | Každý si vezměte svou kadidelnici; dáte do ní kadidlo a přinesete každý svou kadidelnici před Hospodina, dvě stě padesát kadidelnic. Také ty a Áron, každý svou kadidelnici." | 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 | Každý si tedy vzal svou kadidelnici, dali do nich oheň, vložili do nich kadidlo a postavili se ke vchodu do stanu setkávání, i Mojžíš a Áron. | 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 | Kórach shromáždil proti nim celou pospolitost ke vchodu do stanu setkávání. Vtom se celé pospolitosti ukázala Hospodinova sláva. | 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 | Hospodin promluvil k Mojžíšovi a Áronovi: | And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, |
| 21 | "Oddělte se od této pospolitosti. Chci s nimi rázně skoncovat." | Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. |
| 22 | Oba padli na tvář a volali: "Bože, Bože duchů veškerého tvorstva, jen jediný muž zhřešil a ty bys byl rozlícen na celou pospolitost?" | 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 | Hospodin promluvil k Mojžíšovi: | And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 24 | "Domluv pospolitosti: Vykliďte prostor kolem příbytku Kórachova, Dátanova a Abíramova!" | Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. |
| 25 | Mojžíš se hned odebral k Dátanovi a Abíramovi a starší izraelští šli za ním. | And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. |
| 26 | Promluvil k pospolitosti: "Odstupte od stanů těchto svévolných mužů a nedotýkejte se ničeho, co je jejich, abyste nebyli smeteni spolu se všemi jejich hříchy." | 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 | I vyklidili okolí příbytku Kórachova, Dátanova a Abíramova. Dátan a Abíram však vyšli a postavili se u vchodu do svých stanů se svými ženami, syny a dětmi. | 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 | Mojžíš řekl: "Podle toho poznáte, že mě poslal Hospodin, abych činil všechny tyto skutky, a že nedělám nic z vlastní vůle: | 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 | Jestliže tito lidé zemřou, jako umírá každý člověk, a postihne je obecný lidský úděl, neposlal mě Hospodin. | 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 | Jestliže však Hospodin stvoří něco mimořádného a půda rozevře svůj chřtán a pohltí je se vším, co je jejich, takže sestoupí zaživa do podsvětí, poznáte, že tito muži znevážili Hospodina." | 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 | Sotva to všechno domluvil, rozpoltila se pod nimi půda, | 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 | země otevřela svůj chřtán a pohltila je i jejich obydlí a všechny lidi, kteří byli s Kórachem, i všechen majetek. | 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 | Sestoupili do podsvětí zaživa se vším, co bylo jejich, a země se nad nimi zavřela; zmizeli zprostředku shromáždění. | 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 | Celý Izrael, který byl kolem nich, při jejich křiku utekl. Řekli si: "Aby i nás země nepohltila." | 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 | Od Hospodina pak vyšlehl oheň a pozřel těch dvě stě padesát mužů přinášejících kadidlo. | 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. |
