民數記 3
1 耶和華在西奈山曉諭摩西的日子，亞倫和摩西的後代如下：
Now, these, were the pedigrees of Aaron and Moses, —in the day when Yahweh spake with Moses in Mount Sinai.
2 亞倫的兒子，長子名叫拿答，還有亞比戶、以利亞撒、以他瑪。
And these, are the names of the sons of Aaron—the firstborn Nadab, —and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 這是亞倫兒子的名字，都是受膏的祭司，是摩西叫他們承接聖職供祭司職分的。
These, are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, —who were installed to minister as priests.
4 拿答、亞比戶在西奈的曠野向耶和華獻凡火的時候就死在耶和華面前了。他們也沒有兒子。以利亞撒、以他瑪在他們的父親亞倫面前供祭司的職分。
But Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh when they brought near strange fire before Yahweh in the desert of Sinai, and sons, had they none, —so then Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests, in the presence of Aaron their father.
5 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—
6 「你使利未支派近前來，站在祭司亞倫面前好服事他，
Bring near the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt cause it to stand before Aaron the priest, —so shall they wait upon him;
7 替他和會眾在會幕前守所吩咐的，辦理帳幕的事。
so shall they keep his charge, and the charge of all the assembly, before the tent of meeting, —to do the laborious work of the habitation;
8 又要看守會幕的器具，並守所吩咐以色列人的，辦理帳幕的事。
so shall they have charge of all the furniture of the tent of meeting, even the charge of the sons of Israel, —to do the laborious work of the habitation.
9 你要將利未人給亞倫和他的兒子，因為他們是從以色列人中選出來給他的。
Thus shalt thou give the Levites unto Aaron and unto his sons, —given, given, they are unto him, from among the sons of Israel;
10 你要囑咐亞倫和他的兒子謹守自己祭司的職任。近前來的外人必被治死。」
but unto Aaron, and unto his sons, shalt thou give oversight, so shall they keep charge of their priesthood, —and, the stranger who cometh near, shall be put to death.
11 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—
12 「我從以色列人中揀選了利未人，代替以色列人一切頭生的；利未人要歸我。
I, therefore, lo! I have taken the Levites out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of every firstborn that a mother beareth, from among the sons of Israel, —so shall the Levites be mine;
13 因為凡頭生的是我的；我在埃及地擊殺一切頭生的那日就把以色列中一切頭生的，連人帶牲畜都分別為聖歸我；他們定要屬我。我是耶和華。」
for, mine, is every firstborn, in the day when I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto myself every firstborn in Israel, both of man and of beast, —mine, did they become, and belong unto me, Yahweh.
14 耶和華在西奈的曠野曉諭摩西說：
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, in the desert of Sinai, saying: —
15 「你要照利未人的宗族、家室數點他們。凡一個月以外的男子都要數點。」
Number thou the sons of Levi, by their ancestral houses, by their families, —every male, from one month old and upwards, shalt thou number them.
16 於是摩西照耶和華所吩咐的數點他們。
So then Moses numbered them according to the bidding of Yahweh, —as he was commanded.
17 利未眾子的名字是革順、哥轄、米拉利。
And these were the sons of Levi, by their names, —Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
18 革順的兒子，按着家室，是立尼、示每。
And these, the names of the sons of Gershon by their families, —Libni and Shimei.

And the oversight of the charge of the sons of Merari, was—the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof and the pillars thereof and the sockets thereof, —and all the furniture thereof, as to all the laborious work thereof;
37 院子四圍的柱子、帶卯的座、橛子，和繩子。

But, they who were to encamp before the habitation eastwards before the tent of meeting, towards sunrise, were Moses and Aaron and his sons. to keep the charge of the sanctuary, as the charge of the sons of Israel and, the stranger that came near, was to be put to death.
39 凡被數的利未人，就是摩西、亞倫照耶和華吩咐所數的，按着家室，從一個月以外的男子，共有二萬二千名。
All they who were numbered of the Levites whom Moses [and Aaron] numbered at the bidding of Yahweh by their families, —every male, from one month old and upwards, were two-and-twenty thousand.
40 耶和華對摩西說：「你要從以色列人中數點一個月以外、凡頭生的男子，把他們的名字記下。
And Yahweh said unto Moses: Number thou every firstborn male belonging to the sons of Israel, from one month old and upwards, —and reckon up the number of their names;
41 我是耶和華。你要揀選利未人歸我，代替以色列人所有頭生的，也取利未人的牲畜代替以色列所有頭生的牲畜。」
then shalt thou take the Levites for me, me Yahweh, instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel, —also the cattle of the Levites, instead of every firstling among the cattle of the sons of Israel.
42 摩西就照耶和華所吩咐的把以色列人頭生的都數點了。
So then Moses numbered, as Yahweh commanded him, —every firstborn among the sons of Israel.
43 按人名的數目，從一個月以外、凡頭生的男子，共有二萬二千二百七十三名。
And it was so—that all the firstborn of the males in the counting of names from one month old and upwards of such as were numbered of them, —were two-and-twenty thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.
44 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: —
45 「你揀選利未人代替以色列人所有頭生的，也取利未人的牲畜代替以色列人的牲畜。利未人要歸我；我是耶和華。
Take the Levites, instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, instead of their cattle, —so shall the Levites belong unto me, me Yahweh;
46 以色列人中頭生的男子比利未人多二百七十三個，必當將他們贖出來。
and as the ransom of the two hundred and seventy-three, —who are more than the Levites, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel,
47 你要按人丁，照聖所的平，每人取贖銀五舍客勒（一舍客勒是二十季拉），
thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll, —by the shekel of the sanctuary, shalt thou take it, twenty gerahs to the shekel;
48 把那多餘之人的贖銀交給亞倫和他的兒子。」
and shalt give the silver to Aaron and to his sons, —as the ransom of them that are in excess over them.
49 於是摩西從那被利未人所贖以外的人取了贖銀。
So Moses took the redemption silver from them who were in excess over them who were redeemed by the Levites:
50 從以色列人頭生的所取之銀，按聖所的平，有一千三百六十五舍客勒。
from the firstborn of the sons of Israel, took he the silver, —a thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary,
51 摩西照耶和華的話把這贖銀給亞倫和他的兒子，正如耶和華所吩咐的。
And Moses gave the redemption silver to Aaron and to his sons at the bidding of Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
