民数记 4
1 耶和华晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
And the Lord spoke to Moses, and Aaron, saying:
2 “你从利未人中，将哥辖子孙的总数，照他们的家室、宗族，
Take the sum of the sons of Caath from the midst of the Levites, by their houses and families.
3 从三十岁直到五十岁，凡前来任职、在会幕里办事的，全都计算。
From thirty years old and upward, to fifty years old, of all that go in to stand and to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
4 哥辖子孙在会幕搬运至圣之物，所办的事乃是这样：
This is the service of the sons of Caath:
5 起营的时候，亚伦和他儿子要进去摘下遮掩柜的幔子，用以蒙盖法柜，
When the camp is to set forward, Aaron and his sons shall go into the tabernacle of the covenant, and the holy of holies, and shall take down the veil that hangeth before the door, and shall wrap up the ark of the testimony in it,
6 又用海狗皮盖在上头，再蒙上纯蓝色的毯子，把杠穿上。
And shall cover it again with a cover of violet skins, and shall spread over it a cloth all of violet, and shall put in the bars.
7 又用蓝色毯子铺在陈设饼的桌子上，将盘子、调羹、奠酒的爵，和杯摆在上头。桌子上也必有常设的饼。
They shall wrap up also the table of proposition in a cloth of violet, and shall put with it the censers and little mortars, the cups and bowls to pour out the libations: the leaves shall be always on it:
8 在其上又要蒙朱红色的毯子，再蒙上海狗皮，把杠穿上。
And they shall spread over it a cloth of scarlet, which again they shall cover with a covering of violet skins, and shall put in the bars.
9 要拿蓝色毯子，把灯台和灯台上所用的灯盏、剪子、蜡花盘，并一切盛油的器皿，全都遮盖。
They shall take also a cloth of violet wherewith they shall cover the candlestick with the lamps and tongs thereof and the snuffers and all the oil vessels, which are necessary for the dressing of the lamps:
10 又要把灯台和灯台的一切器具包在海狗皮里，放在抬架上。
And over all they shall put a cover of violet skins and put in the bars.
11 在金坛上要铺蓝色毯子，蒙上海狗皮，把杠穿上。
And they shall wrap up the golden altar also in a cloth of violet, and shall spread over it a cover of violet skins, and put in the bars.
12 又要把圣所用的一切器具包在蓝色毯子里，用海狗皮蒙上，放在抬架上。
All the vessels wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, they shall wrap up in a cloth of violet, and shall spread over it a cover of violet skins, and put in the bars.
13 要收去坛上的灰，把紫色毯子铺在坛上；
They shall cleanse the altar also from the ashes, and shall wrap it up in a purple cloth,
14 又要把所用的一切器具，就是火鼎、肉锸子、铲子、盘子，一切属坛的器具都摆在坛上，又蒙上海狗皮，把杠穿上。
And shall put it with all the vessels that they use in the ministry thereof, that is to say, firepans, fleshhooks and forks, pothooks and shovels. They shall cover all the vessels of the altar together with a covering of violet skins, and shall put in the bars.
15 将要起营的时候，亚伦和他儿子把圣所和圣所的一切器具遮盖完了，哥辖的子孙就要来抬，只是不可摸圣物，免得他们死亡。会幕里这些物件是哥辖子孙所当抬的。
And when Aaron and his sons have wrapped up the sanctuary and the vessels thereof at the removing of the camp, then shall the sons of Caath enter in to carry the things wrapped up: and they shall not touch the vessels of the sanctuary, lest they die. These are the burdens of the sons of Caath: in the tabernacle of the covenant:
16 “祭司亚伦的儿子以利亚撒所要看守的是点灯的油与香料，并当献的素祭和膏油，也要看守全帐幕与其中所有的，并圣所和圣所的器具。”
And over them shall be Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, to whose charge pertaineth the oil to dress the lamps, and the sweet incense, and the sacrifice, that is always offered, and the oil of unction, and whatsoever pertaineth to the service of the tabernacle, and of all the vessels that are in the sanctuary.
17 耶和华晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
18 “你们不可将哥辖人的支派从利未人中剪除。
Destroy not the people of Caath from the midst of the Levites:
19 他们挨近至圣物的时候，亚伦和他儿子要进去派他们各人所当办的，所当抬的。这样待他们，好使他们活着，不致死亡。
But do this to them, that they may live, and not die, by touching the holies of holies. Aaron and his sons shall go in, and they shall appoint every man his work, and shall divide the burdens that every man is to carry.
20 只是他们连片时不可进去观看圣所，免得他们死亡。”
Let not others by any curiosity see the things that are in the sanctuary before they be wrapped up, otherwise they shall die.
21 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
22 “你要将革顺子孙的总数，照着宗族、家室，
Take the sum of the soils of Gerson also by their houses and families and kindreds.
23 从三十岁直到五十岁，凡前来任职、在会幕里办事的，全都数点。
From thirty Sears old and upward, unto fifty years old. Number them all that go in and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
24 革顺人各族所办的事、所抬的物乃是这样：
This is the office of the family of the Gersonites:
25 他们要抬帐幕的幔子和会幕，并会幕的盖与其上的海狗皮，和会幕的门帘，
To carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the roof of the covenant, the other covering, and the violet covering over all, and the hanging that hangeth in the entry of the tabernacle of the covenant,
26 院子的帷子和门帘（院子是围帐幕和坛的）、绳子，并所用的器具，不论是做什么用的，他们都要经理。
The curtains of the court, and the veil in the entry that is before the tabernacle. All things that pertain to the altar, the cords and the vessels of the ministry,
27 革顺的子孙在一切抬物办事之上都要凭亚伦和他儿子的吩咐；他们所当抬的，要派他们看守。
The sons of Gerson shall carry, by the commandment of Aaron and his sons: and each man shall know to what burden he must be assigned.
28 这是革顺子孙的各族在会幕里所办的事；他们所看守的，必在祭司亚伦儿子以他玛的手下。”
This is the service of the family of the Gersonites in the tabernacle of the covenant, and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
29 “至于米拉利的子孙，你要照着家室、宗族把他们数点。
Thou shalt reckon up the sons of Merari also by the families and houses of their fathers,
30 从三十岁直到五十岁，凡前来任职、在会幕里办事的，你都要数点。
From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to the office of their ministry, and to the service of the covenant of the testimony.
31 他们办理会幕的事，就是抬帐幕的板、闩、柱子，和带卯的座，
These are their burdens: They shall carry the boards of the tabernacle and the bars thereof, the pillars and their sockets,
32 院子四围的柱子和其上带卯的座、橛子、绳子，并一切使用的器具。他们所抬的器具，你们要按名指定。
The pillars also of the court round about, with their sockets and pins and cords. They shall receive by account all the vessels and furniture, and so shall carry them.
33 这是米拉利子孙各族在会幕里所办的事，都在祭司亚伦儿子以他玛的手下。”
This is the office of the family of the Merarites, and their ministry in the tabernacle of the covenant: and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
34 摩西、亚伦与会众的诸首领将哥辖的子孙，照着家室、宗族，
So Moses and Aaron and the princes of the synagogue reckoned up the sons of Caath, by their kindreds and the houses of their fathers,
35 从三十岁直到五十岁，凡前来任职、在会幕里办事的，都数点了。
From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant:
36 被数的共有二千七百五十名。
And they were found two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
37 这是哥辖各族中被数的，是在会幕里办事的，就是摩西、亚伦照耶和华借摩西所吩咐数点的。
This is the number of the people of Caath that go in to the tabernacle of the covenant: these did Moses and Aaron number according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
38 革顺子孙被数的，照着家室、宗族，
The sons of Gerson also were numbered by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
39 从三十岁直到五十岁，凡前来任职、在会幕里办事的，共有二千六百三十名。
From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant:
And they were found two thousand six hundred and thirty.
41 这是革顺子孙各族中被数的，是在会幕里办事的，就是摩西、亚伦照耶和华借摩西所吩咐数点的。
This is the people of the Gersonites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord.
42 米拉利子孙中各族被数的，照着家室、宗族，
The sons of Merari also were numbered by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
43 从三十岁直到五十岁，凡前来任职、在会幕里办事的，共有三千二百名。
From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to fulfill the rites of the tabernacle of the covenant:
And they were found three thousand two hundred.
45 这是米拉利子孙各族中被数的，就是摩西、亚伦照耶和华借摩西所吩咐数点的。
This is the number of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron reckoned up according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
46 凡被数的利未人，就是摩西、亚伦并以色列众首领，照着家室、宗族所数点的，
All that were reckoned up of the Levites, and whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel took by name, by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
47 从三十岁直到五十岁，凡前来任职、在会幕里做抬物之工的，共有八千五百八十名。
From thirty years old and upward, until fifty years old, that go into the ministry of the tabernacle, and to carry the burdens,
Were in all eight thousand five hundred and eighty.
49 摩西按他们所办的事、所抬的物，凭耶和华的吩咐数点他们；他们这样被摩西数点，正如耶和华所吩咐他的。
Moses reckoned them up according to the word of the Lord, every one according to their office and burdens, as the Lord had commanded him.
