1And 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,Allora Core figliuolo di Isaar figliuolo di Caath figliuolo di Levi, e Dathan e Abiron figliuoli di Eliab, e Hon figliuolo di Pheleth della stirpe di RubenAND behold Core the sonne of Isaar, the sonne of Caath, the sonne of Leui, and Dathan and Abiron the sonnes of Eliab, Hon also the sonne of Pheleth of the children of Ruben,Ecce autem Core filius Isaar, filii Caath, filii Levi, et Dathan atque Abiron filii Eliab, Hon quoque filius Pheleth de filiis Ruben, 2Rose up 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.Si levaron su contro Mosè insieme con altri dugento cinquanta figliuoli d'Israele de' più illustri della sinagoga, e i quali in occasion di adunanze erano nominatamente invitati.rose against Moyses, and other of the children of Israel two hundred fiftie men, princes of the synagogue, and which in the time of assemblie were called by name.surrexerunt contra Moysen, aliique filiorum Israël ducenti quinquaginta viri proceres synagogæ, et qui tempore concilii per nomina vocabantur. 3And 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?E portatisi al cospetto di Mosè e di Aronne, dissero: Contentatevi un poco, conciossiaché questo è un popolo tutto di santi; e con essi si sta il Signore: con qual titolo v'innalzate voi sopra il popolo del Signore?And when they had stoode vp against Moyses and Aaron, they said: Let it suffice you, that al the multitude consisteth of holie ones, and our Lord is among them: Why lift you vp your selues aboue the people of our Lord?Cumque stetissent adversum Moysen et Aaron, dixerunt: Sufficiat vobis, quia omnis multitudo sanctorum est, et in ipsis est Dominus: cur elevamini super populum Domini ? 4When Moses heard this, he fell flat on his face:Udita tal cosa, Mosè si prostrò boccone per terra:Which when Moyses had heard, he fel flatte on his face:Quod cum audisset Moyses, cecidit pronus in faciem: 5And 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.E disse a Core, e a tutta quella gente: Domani il Signore farà manifesto, chi sien quelli che son suoi, e chiamerà a sé que' che son santi: e si appresseranno a lui quei ch'egli avrà eletti.and speaking to Core and al the multitude, he said: In the morning our Lord wil make it knowne who pertaine to him, and the holie the wil ioyne to him selfe: and whom he shal choose, they shal approch to him.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.

6Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company.Fate adunque così: Prenda ciascuno il sua turibolo, tu, Core, e tutta la tua sequela:This do therfore: Take euerie man their censars, thou Core, and al thy councel:Hoc igitur facite: tollat unusquisque thuribula sua, tu Core, et omne concilium tuum: 7And 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.E domani, messovi il fuoco, ponetevi sopra l'incenso dinanzi al Signore: e chiunque da lui sarà eletto, quegli sarà santo: voi v'inalberate assai, o figliuoli di Levi.and taking fire in them to morrow, put vpon it incense before our Lord: and whom soeuer he shal choose, the same shal be holie: you do much exalt your selues ye sonnes of Leui.et hausto cras igne, ponite desuper thymiama coram Domino: et quemcumque elegerit, ipse erit sanctus: multum erigimini filii Levi. 8And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi.E disse di più a Core: Figliuoli di Levi, udite:And he said againe to Core: Heare ye sonnes of Leui,Dixitque rursum ad Core: Audite, filii Levi: 9Is 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?È egli poco per voi l'avervi il Dio d'Israele separati da tutto il popolo, e uniti a sé, affinché lo serviste nel culto del tabernacolo, e steste dinanzi alla moltitudine del popolo, esercitando il suo ministero?Is it a smal thing vnto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from al the people, and ioyned you to him selfe, that you should serue him in the seruice of the tabernacle, and should stand before the ful assemblie of the people, and should minister to him?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 ? 10Did 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,A questo fine ha egli fatto accostare a sé e te, e tutti i tuoi fratelli figliuoli di Levi, affinché vi usurpiate anche il sacerdozio,did he therfore make thee and al thy brethren the sonnes of Leui to approch vnto him, that you should chalenge vnto you the priesthood also,idcirco ad se fecit accedere te et omnes fratres tuos filios Levi, ut vobis etiam sacerdotium vindicetis, 11And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?E perché tutta la tua sequela si metta in battaglia contro il Signore? che è egli Aronne, che vi mettiate a mormorare contro di lui?and al thy companie should stand against our Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?et omnis globus tuus stet contra Dominum ? quid est enim Aaron ut murmuretis contra eum ?

12Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.Mandò adunque Mosè a chiamare Dathan e Abiron figliuoli di Eliab. I quali risposero: Noi non venghiamo:Moyses therfore sent to cal Dathan and Abiron the sonnes of Eliab. Who answered: We come not.Misit ergo Moyses ut vocaret Dathan et Abiron filios Eliab. Qui responderunt: Non venimus. 13Is 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?Ti par forse poco l'averci levati da una terra, che scorre latte e miele, per ammazzarci nel deserto, se di più non ci tiranneggi?Why, is it a smal matter to thee that thou hast brought vs out of a land, that folowed with milke and honie, to kil vs in the desert, vnles thou rule also like a lord ouer vs?Numquid parum est tibi quod eduxisti nos de terra, quæ lacte et melle manabat, ut occideres in deserto, nisi et dominatus fueris nostri ? 14Thou hast 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.Veramente tu ci hai condotti in una terra, che scorre latte e miele, e ci hai date delle tenute di campi, e di vigne: vuoi tu ancora cavarci gli occhi? noi non venghiamo.In deede hast thou brought vs into a land, that floweth with riuers of milke and honie, & hast thou geuen vs possessions of fieldes & vineyardes? What, wilt thou plucke out our eies also? We come not.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. 15Moses therefore being very angry, said 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.E sdegnato forte Mosè disse al Signore: Non volgere gli occhi a' loro sacrifizii: tu sai, com'io non ho mai preso da costoro neppur un asinello, e non ho fatto torto ad alcuno di essi.Moyses therfore being very wrath, said to our Lord: Respect not their sacrifices: thou knowest that I haue not taken of them so much as a little asse at anie time, neither haue afflicted anie of them.Iratusque Moyses valde, ait ad Dominum: Ne respicias sacrificia eorum: tu scis quod ne asellum quidem umquam acceperim ab eis, nec afflixerim quempiam eorum. 16And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord to morrow, and Aaron apart.E disse a Core: Tu, e tutta la tua sequela state da una parte dinanzi al Signore, ed Aronne domani dall'altra parte:And he said to Core: Thou, and al thy congregation stand ye apart before our Lord, and Aaron to morrow apart.Dixitque ad Core: Tu, et omnis congregatio tua, state seorsum coram Domino, et Aaron die crastino separatim.

17Take 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.Pigliate ciascuno i vostri turiboli, e mettetevi sopra l'incenso, offrendo al Signore dugento cinquanta turiboli: Aronne parimente avrà il suo turibolo.Take euerie one your censars, and put incense vpon them, offering to our Lord two hundred fiftie censars: Let Aaron also hold his censar.Tollite singuli thuribula vestra, et ponite super ea incensum, offerentes Domino ducenta quinquaginta thuribula: Aaron quoque teneat thuribulum suum. 18When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing,E quelli avendo fatto questo alla presenza di Mosè e di Aronne,Which when they had done, Moyses and Aaron standing,Quod cum fecissent, stantibus Moyses et Aaron, 19And had drawn up all the multitude against them to the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.E avendo raunato in folla tutta la moltitudine all'ingresso del tabernacolo, si fece a tutti vedere la gloria del Signore.and had heaped together al the multitude against them to the dore of the tabernacle, the glorie of our Lord appeared to them al.et coacervassent adversum eos omnem multitudinem ad ostium tabernaculi, apparuit cunctis gloria Domini. 20And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:E il Signore parlò a Mosè e ad Aronne, e disse:And our Lord speaking to Moyses and Aaron, said:Locutusque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, ait: 21Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them.Segregatevi da quest'adunanza, affinché io tutti a un tratto li disperga.Separate your selues from the middes of this congregation, that I may sodenly destroy them.Separamini de medio congregationis hujus, ut eos repente disperdam. 22They 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?Si prostraron questi boccone per terra, e dissero: Fortissimo Dio degli spiriti di tutti gli uomini, infierirebb'ella mai l'ira tua contro di tutti pel peccato di un solo?Who felilatte on their face, and said: Most mightie God of the spirites of al flesh, when one sinneth, shal thy wrath rage against al?Qui ceciderunt proni in faciem, atque dixerunt: Fortissime Deus spirituum universæ carnis, num uno peccante, contra omnes ira tua desæviet ? 23And the Lord said to Moses:E il Signore disse a Mosè:And our Lord said to Moyses:Et ait Dominus ad Moysen: 24Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron.Comanda a tutto il popolo, che si separi dalle tende di Core, di Dathan, e di Abiron.Command the whole people that they separate them selues from the tabernacles of Core and Dathan and Abiron.Præcipe universo populo ut separetur a tabernaculis Core et Dathan et Abiron.

25And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following him,E Mosè si alzò, e andò a trovare Dathan e Abiron: e seguendolo i seniori d'Israele,And Moyses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancientes of Israel folowing him,Surrexitque Moyses, et abiit ad Dathan et Abiron: et sequentibus eum senioribus Israël, 26He said to the multitude: Depart from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be involved in their sins.E disse al popolo: Ritiratevi dalle tende degli uomini empii, e non toccate nissuna delle cose loro per non essere a parte de' loro peccati.he said to the multitude: Depart from the tabernacles of the impious men, and touch not the thinges that pertaine to them, lest you be wrapped in their sinnes.dixit ad turbam: Recedite a tabernaculis hominum impiorum, et nolite tangere quæ ad eos pertinent, ne involvamini in peccatis eorum. 27And 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.E ritiratosi il popolo d'intorno alle tende di quelli, Dathan e Abiron vennero a porsi all'ingresso dei loro padiglioni insieme colle mogli, e co' figliuoli, e con tutti i compagni.And when they were departed from their tentes round about, Dathan and Abiron coming forth stood in the entrie of their pauilions with their wiues and children, and al the multitude.Cumque recessissent a tentoriis eorum per circuitum, Dathan et Abiron egressi stabant in introitu papilionum suorum cum uxoribus et liberis, omnique frequentia. 28And 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:E Mosè disse: Da questo voi conoscerete, come il Signore mi ha mandato a fare tutte quelle cose, che avete veduto, e come io non le ho cavate dalla mia testa:And Moyses said: In this you shal know that our Lord hath sent me to do al thinges that you see, and that I haue not forged them of my owne mind:Et ait Moyses: In hoc scietis quod Dominus miserit me ut facerem universa quæ cernitis, et non ex proprio ea corde protulerim: 29If 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.Se costoro morranno di morte ordinaria tra gli uomini, e saran visitati da un flagello, dal quale anche gli altri soglion essere visitati, il Signore non mi ha mandato:If they die the accustomed death of men, and if the plague, wherwith others also are wont to be visited, do visite them, out Lord did not send me:si consueta hominum morte interierint, et visitaverit eos plaga, qua et ceteri visitari solent, non misit me Dominus:

30But 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.Ma se il Signore fa cosa si nuova, che aprendo la terra la sua bocca divori costoro, e tutte le cose loro, e che vivi scendano nell'inferno, voi conoscerete, che hanno bestemmiato il Signore.but if our Lord do a new thing, that the earth opening her mouth swallow them downe, & al thinges that pertaine to them, and they descend quicke into hel, you shal know that they haue blasphemed our Lord.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. 31And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet:E appena ebbe finito di dire, che spaccatasi la terra sotto i piedi di coloro,Immediatly therfore as he ceased to speake, the earth brake insunder vnder their feete:Confestim igitur ut cessavit loqui, dirupta est terra sub pedibus eorum: 32And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance.E spalancata la sua bocca, li divorò insieme colle tende, e con tutte le cose loro:and opening her mouth, deuoured them with their tabernacles & al their substance.et aperiens os suum, devoravit illos cum tabernaculis suis et universa substantia eorum, 33And they went down alive into hell, the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people.E ricoperti dalla terra sceser vivi all'inferno, e perirono in mezzo alla moltitudine.and they went downe into hel quicke couered with the ground, and perished out of the middes of the multitude.descenderuntque vivi in infernum operti humo, et perierunt de medio multitudinis. 34But 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.Ma tutto Israele, che stava all'intorno, alle strida di que' che perivano, si diede alla fuga, dicendo: Che noi pure non c'ingoi la terra.But al Israel, that stoode round about, fled at the cric of them that perished, saying: Lest perhappes the earth swallow vs also.At vero omnis Israël, qui stabat per gyrum, fugit ad clamorem pereuntium, dicens: Ne forte et nos terra deglutiat. 35And a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.È oltre a questo un fuoco spedito dal Signore uccise i dugento cinquanta uomini, che offerivan l'incenso.But a fire also coming forth from our Lord, slew the two hundred fiftie men, that offered the incense.Sed et ignis egressus a Domino interfecit ducentos quinquaginta viros, qui offerebant incensum.

36And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:E il Signore parlò a Mosè, e disse:And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: 37Command 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 sanctifiedOrdina ad Eleazaro sacerdote figliuolo di Aronne, che prenda i turiboli sparsi in mezzo all'incendio, e disperga qua e là il fuoco: perocché quegli sono consacratiCommand El•zar the sonne of Aaron the priest that he take vp the censars that lie in the burning fire, and that he sprinkle the fire hither and thither: because they be sanctifiedPræcipe Eleazaro filio Aaron sacerdoti ut tollat thuribula quæ jacent in incendio, et ignem huc illucque dispergat: quoniam sanctificata sunt 38In 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.Per la morte de' peccatori; ed egli li riduca in lame, e li conficchi all'altare, perché in essi fu offerto incenso al Signore, onde rimasero consacrati, affinché i figliuoli d'Israele li tengano innanzi agli occhi come un segno, e monumento.in the deathes of the sinners: and let him beate them into plates, and fasten them to the altar, because there hath bene offered incense in them to the Lord, and they are sanctified, that the children of Israel may see them for a signe and a monument.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. 39Then 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:Prese adunque Eleazaro sacerdote i turiboli di bronzo, de' quali si eran serviti coloro, che erano stati divorati dall'incendio, e li tirò in lame, e le affisse all'altare:Eleazar therfore the priest tooke the brasen censars, wherin they had offered, whom the burning fire deuoured, and bette them into plates, fastening them to the altar:Tulit ergo Eleazar sacerdos thuribula ænea, in quibus obtulerant hi quos incendium devoravit, et produxit ea in laminas, affigens altari: 40That 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 the 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.Affinché in appresso servissero a' figliuoli d'Israele di documento, perché nissuno estraneo, e che non sia della stirpe di Aronne, si accosti ad offerir l'incenso al Signore, affinché non abbia a soffrire quello che soffrì Core, e tutta la sua sequela, secondo la parola del Signore a Mosè.that the children of Israel afterward might haue, wherwith to be admonished, that no stranger approch, and he that is not of the seede of Aaron, to offer incense to our Lord, lest he suffer as Core hath suffered, and al his congregation, according as our Lord spake to Moyses.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.

41The following day all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: You have killed the people of the Lord.Ma il dì seguente mormorava tutta la turba de' figliuoli d'Israele contro Mosè ed Aronne, dicendo: Voi avete fatto morire la gente del Signore.And al the multitude of the children of Israel murmured the day folowing against Moyses and Aaron, saying: You haue killed the people of our Lord.Murmuravit autem omnis multitudo filiorum Israël sequenti die contra Moysen et Aaron, dicens: Vos interfecistis populum Domini. 42And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,E pigliando piede la sedizione, e crescendo il tumulto,And when there rose a sedition, and the tumult grew farder,Cumque oriretur seditio, et tumultus incresceret, 43Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when they were gone into it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.Mosè ed Aronne si fuggirono nel tabernacolo dell'alleanza. E quando vi furono entrati, la nuvola lo ricoperse, e apparve la gloria del Signore.Moyses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of couenant. Which after they were entred the cloude couered it, and the glorie of our Lord appeared.Moyses et Aaron fugerunt ad tabernaculum fœderis. Quod, postquam ingressi sunt, operuit nubes, et apparuit gloria Domini. 44And the Lord said to Moses:E il Signore disse a Mosè.And our Lord said to Moyses:Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: 45Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground,Toglietevi di mezzo a questa moltitudine, or ora io gli sterminerò. E stando quelli prostrati per terra,Depart from the middes of this multitude, euen now wil I destroy them. And as they lay vpon the ground,Recedite de medio hujus multitudinis, etiam nunc delebo eos. Cumque jacerent in terra, 46Moses 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.Disse Mosè ad Aronne: Prendi il turibolo, e messovi del fuoco dell'altare, ponvi sopra l'incenso, e va' subito a trovare il popolo per far orazione per lui: imperocché il Signore ha già sciolto il freno all'ira sua, e il flagello infierisce.Moyses said to Aaron: Take the censar, and drawing fire from the altar, put incense vpon it, going quickly to the people to pray for them: for euen now is the wrath come forth from our Lord, and the plague rageth.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.

47When Aaron had done this, and had run to the midst of the multitude which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense:E Aronne avendo ciò fatto, ed essendo corso nel mezzo alla moltitudine, che era già desolata dall'incendio, offerse i timiami:Which when Aaron had done, and had runne to the middes of the multitude, which now the burning fire did waste, he offered the incense:Quod cum fecisset Aaron, et cucurrisset ad mediam multitudinem, quam jam vastabat incendium, obtulit thymiama: 48And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.E stando di mezzo tra i morti e i vivi, pregò pel popolo, e il flagello cessò.and standing betwen the deade and the liuing, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.et stans inter mortuos ac viventes, pro populo deprecatus est, et plaga cessavit. 49And the number of them that were slain was fourteen thousand and seven hundred men, besides them that had perished in the sedition of Core.E gli uccisi furono quattordicimila settecento uomini senza quelli che perirono nella sedizione di Core.And there were, that were strooken, fourtene thousand and seuen hundred men, beside them that had perished in the sedition of Core.Fuerunt autem qui percussi sunt, quatuordecim millia hominum, et septingenti, absque his qui perierant in seditione Core. 50And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over.E Aronne ritornò da Mosè alla porta del tabernacolo dell'alleanza, finito che fu lo sterminio.And Aaron returned to Moyses vnto the doore of the tabernacle of couenant after that the destruction was ceased.Reversusque est Aaron ad Moysen ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis postquam quievit interitus.
