民數記 1
1 以色列人出埃及國後第二年二月一日，上主在西乃曠野於會幕內訓示梅瑟說：「
In April of the year after the Israeli people left Egypt, Yahweh spoke to Moses/me while he/I was in the Sacred Tent, in the Sinai Desert. Yahweh said to him/me,
2 你們要依照以色列子民的宗教和家系，統計全會眾的人口，把男丁的姓名都一一登記。
“I want you and Aaron to determine how many Israeli men are able to fight in battles. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old, and write down the names of their clans and families.
3 在以色列中，凡二十歲以上能上陣作戰的，你和亞郎要一隊一隊地統計。
4 每一支派有一人同你們合作，他們都是各宗族的族長。
[I have chosen] one man from each of the tribes to help you to do this. Each one will be a leader of his clan.
5 那協助你們的人名如下：勒烏本支派，是舍德烏爾的兒子厄里族爾；
Their names are: Elizur, the son of Shedeur, from the tribe of Reuben; Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, from the tribe of Simeon; Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah; Nethanel, the son of Zuar, from the tribe of Issachar; Eliab, the son of Helon, from the tribe of Zebulun; Elishama, the son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Ephraim; Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh; Abidan, the son of Gideoni, from the tribe of Benjamin; Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, from the tribe of Dan; Pagiel, the son of Ocran, from the tribe of Asher; Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, from the tribe of Gad; Ahira, the son of Enan, from the tribe of Naphtali.”

16 這些人是由會眾中選出來的，都是他們宗族的領袖，以色列的千夫長。
Those were the men whom Yahweh chose from the people. They were leaders of their tribes. They were the chief men of the clans of the Israeli people.
17 梅瑟和亞郎就帶著這些提名派定的人，
Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,
18 於二月一日召集了全會眾，人都依照宗族和家系登了記，由二十歲以上的都一一將姓名登了記。
and they gathered all of the people together on that same day. They listed/wrote down the names of all the men who were at least 20 years old, and with their names they wrote the names of their clans and their family groups
19 上主怎樣吩咐了梅瑟，梅瑟就怎樣在西乃曠野統計了他們。
just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.
20 以色列的長子勒烏本子孫的後裔，依照宗族和家系，二十歲以上，凡能上陣作戰的男子，都一一將姓名登了記；

That was the number of men from each tribe that Aaron and Moses/I and the twelve leaders of the tribes of Israel listed, along with the names of their clans.
45 以色列中二十歲以上，凡能上陣作戰的以色列子民，全依照宗族和家系登了記。
46 全體登記的總數，是六十萬三千五百五十。
The total was 603,550 men.
47 但是肋末人沒有依照自己的宗派同他們一起登記，
But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
48 因為上主曾訓示梅瑟說：「
because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
49 只有肋未支派，不要登記，不要將他們列在以色列子民內。
“When you (count/write the names of) the men of the tribes of Israel, do not count the men in the tribe of Levi.
50 你應派肋未人管理會幕和其中一切器皿，並一切附屬物。他們要搬運會幕和其中一切器皿，在會幕中服務，住在會幕的四周。
Appoint the male descendants of Levi to take care of the Sacred Tent and the chest inside it that contains [the tablets on which are written] the Ten Commandments. They must also take care of the other things that are inside the tent. [When you travel], they are the ones who must carry the tent and all the things that are inside it, and they must take care of it and set up their tents around it.
51 會幕要遷移時，肋未人拆卸；會幕要搭紮時，肋未人張搭；若俗人走近，應處死刑。
Whenever it is time for all of you to move [to another location], the descendants of Levi are the ones who must dismantle the tent. And when it is time to stop traveling, they are the ones who must set up the Sacred Tent again. Any other person who goes near the Sacred Tent [to do this work] must be executed.
52 以色列子民應分隊紮營，各歸本旗。
The people of each Israeli tribe must set up their tents in their own area, and they must set up a flag/banner that represents their tribe.
53 但肋未人應在會幕四周紮營，免得以色列子民會眾觸犯天怒；肋未人應負責看守會幕。」
But the male descendants of Levi must set up their tents around the Sacred Tent, in order to protect the other Israeli people from being punished [MTY] by Yahweh [for coming close to the Sacred Tent]. The descendants of Levi are the ones who must stand around the Sacred Tent to guard it.”
54 以色列子民都照辦了；上主怎樣吩咐了梅瑟，他們就怎樣辦了。
So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
