民数记 4
1 耶和华晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto 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，
Reckon up the sum of the sons of Kohath, out of the midst of the sons of Levi, —by their families by their ancestral house:
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 upwards, even unto fifty years, —every one that can enter into the host, to do service in the tent of meeting.
4 哥辖子孙在会幕搬运至圣之物，所办的事乃是这样：
This, shall be the labour of the sons of Kohath, in the tent of meeting, —the most holy things,
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，
So then Aaron and his sons shall enter when the camp is to set forward, and take down the screening veil, —and enwrap therein the ark of the testimony;
6 又用海狗皮盖在上头，再蒙上纯蓝色的毯子，把杠穿上。
and put thereon a covering of badgers’ skin, and spread a complete wrapper of blue over above, —and put in the staves thereof.
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。
And over the Presence-table, shall they spread a wrapper of blue and put thereon the dishes and the pans and the bowls and the libation cups, the perpetual bread also, thereupon, shall remain;
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 them a wrapper of crimson, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof.
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。
Then shall they take a wrapper of blue, and cover the light-giving lampstand, and the lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof and the snuff-trays thereof, —and all the oil-vessels, thereof, wherewith they minister thereunto;
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 shall put the same and all the vessels thereof, within a covering of, badgers’ skin, —and shall put it upon a frame.
11 在金坛上要铺蓝色毯子，蒙上海狗皮，把杠穿上。
And upon the altar of gold, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and shall cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof,
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。
And they shall take all the utensils of attendance wherewith they attend in the sanctuary, and put them within a wrapper of blue, and cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and put them on a frame.
13 要收去坛上的灰，把紫色毯子铺在坛上；
Then shall they remove the fat-ashes from the altar, —and spread over it a wrapper of purple;
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 put thereupon all the utensils thereof wherewith they minister thereupon—the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks—and the shovels and the tossing-bowls, all the utensils of the altar, —and shall spread over it a covering of badgers’ skin and put in the staves thereof.
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。
So shall Aaron and his sons make an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward, then after that, shall the sons of Kohath enter to bear it, but they must not put forth a touch unto that which, is holy, else should they die, these, shall be the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
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。”
But the care of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, [shall be] —the light-giving oil, and the fragrant incense, and the perpetual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the care of all the habitation, and all that is therein, both as to the sanctuary, and as to the furniture thereof.
17 耶和华晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
18 “你们不可将哥辖人的支派从利未人中剪除。
Do not let the tribe of the families of the Kohathites be cut off out of 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。
This, therefore, do ye for them, so shall they live and not die when they approach the most holy place, —Aaron and his sons shall enter and set them man by man over his labour, and unto his burden;
20 只是他们连片时不可进去观看圣所，免得他们死亡。”
but they shall not enter to see, for a moment, that which is holy, else should they die.
21 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
22 “你要将革顺子孙的总数，照着宗族、家室，
reckon up the sum of the sons of Gershon even of them also, —by their ancestral house by their families;
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 years old and upwards even to fifty years, shalt thou number them, —All that may enter to take rank in the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting.
24 革顺人各族所办的事、所抬的物乃是这样：
This, shall be the labour of the families of the Gershonites, —in labouring and in bearing:
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，
they shall bear the curtains of the habitation and the tent of meeting, the covering thereof and the covering of badgers’ skin which is over above it, —and the screen, at the entrance of the tent of meeting;
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。
and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court which is near the habitation and near the altar round about, and their cords, and all their articles of service, and all that is to be done to them when they shall do their labour,
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。
At the bidding of Aaron and his sons, shall be all the labour of the sons of the Gershonites, to the extent of their every burden, and to the extent of all their labour, —so shall ye appoint unto them in charge their every burden.
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, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting, —and, the charge of them, shall be in the hand of Ithamar, 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。
As for the sons of Merari, —by their families by their ancestral house, shall ye number them;
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 upwards even to fifty years, shall ye number them, —all that enter into the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting,
31 他们办理会幕的事，就是抬帐幕的板、闩、柱子，和带卯的座，
And, this, shall be their charge of the burdens, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof and he pillars thereof and the sockets thereof:
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。
and the pillars of the court round about and their sockets and their pins and their cords, to the extent of all their articles, to the extent of all their labour, and by names, shall ye put under their care the articles of their charge of burdens.
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, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of Merari, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, —in the hand of Ithamar, 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，
Then did Moses and Aaron, and the princes of the assembly, number the sons of the Kohathites, by their families, and by their ancestral house;
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 upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting;
36 被数的共有二千七百五十名。
and they who were numbered of them, by their families, were found to be 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。
These, were they who were num-bered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might labour in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh by the mediation of Moses.
38 革顺子孙被数的，照着家室、宗族，
And they who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, —by their families, and by their ancestral house;
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 upwards, even to fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting:
yea they who were numbered of them, by their families, by their ancestral house, —were found to be—two thousand, and 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。
These, are they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who might labour in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh.
42 米拉利子孙中各族被数的，照着家室、宗族，
And they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families by their ancestral house;
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 upwards, even unto fifty years old, —all that might enter the host to labour in the tent of meeting;
yea they who were numbered of them, by their families, were found to be—three thousand and 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。
These, are they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, —whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh, by the mediation 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 they who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel did number, even the Levites, by their families and by their ancestral house;
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。

yea, they who were numbered of them were found to be—eight thousand, and 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。
At the bidding of Yahweh, were they put in charge by the mediation of Moses, man by man, over his labour and over his burden, —yea, they who were put in charge by him, were they, whom Yahweh commanded Moses.
