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：
And these [are] births of Aaron and Moses, in the day of Jehovah's speaking 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 first-born 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 anointed priests, whose hand he hath consecrated for acting as priest.
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。
And Nadab dieth — Abihu also — before Jehovah, in their bringing near strange fire before Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai, and sons they had not; and Eleazar — Ithamar also — acteth as priest in the presence of Aaron their father.
5 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
And Jehovah speaketh 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 hast caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him,
7 替他和會眾在會幕前守所吩咐的，辦理帳幕的事。
and kept his charge, and the charge of all the company before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle;
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。
and they have kept all the vessels of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle;
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。
and thou hast given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of 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。」
'And Aaron and his sons thou dost appoint, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who cometh near is put to death.'
11 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
And Jehovah speaketh 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。
'And I, lo, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel instead of every first-born opening a womb among the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been 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 first-born, in the day of My smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to Myself every first-born in Israel, from man unto beast; Mine they are; I [am] Jehovah.'
14 耶和華在西奈的曠野曉諭摩西說：
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses in the wilderness 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 the sons of Levi by the house of their fathers, by their families; every male from a son of a month and upward thou dost number them.'
16 於是摩西照耶和華所吩咐的數點他們。
And Moses numbereth them according to the command of Jehovah, as he hath been commanded.
17 利未眾子的名字是革順、哥轄、米拉利。
And these are 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 [are] the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.

21 屬革順的，有立尼族、示每族。這是革順的二族。

27 屬哥轄的，有暗蘭族、以斯哈族、希伯倫族、烏薛族。這是哥轄的諸族。
And of Kohath [is] the family of the Amramite, and the family of the Izharite, and the family of the Hebronite, and the family of the Uzzielite; these are families of the Kohathite.
28 按所有男子的數目，從一個月以外看守聖所的，共有八千六百名。

And their charge [is] the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary with which they serve, and the vail, and all its service.

38 在帳幕前東邊，向日出之地安營的是摩西、亞倫，和亞倫的兒子。他們看守聖所，替以色列人守耶和華所吩咐的。近前來的外人必被治死。
And those encamping before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting, at the east, [are] Moses and Aaron, and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the sons of Israel, and the stranger who cometh near is 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 those numbered of the Levites whom Moses numbered — Aaron also — by the command of Jehovah, by their families, every male from a son of a month and upward, [are] 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Number every first-born male of the sons of Israel from a son of a month and upward, and take 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。」
and thou hast taken the Levites for Me (I [am] Jehovah), instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel, and 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。
And Moses numbereth, as Jehovah hath commanded him, all the first-born 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 all the first-born — male — by the number of names, from a son of a month and upward, of their numbered ones, are two and twenty thousand two hundred and seventy and three.
44 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
And Jehovah speaketh 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 every first-born among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites have been Mine; I [am] Jehovah.
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 [from] those ransomed of the two hundred and seventy and three (who are more than the Levites) of the first-born 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 hast even taken five shekels a-piece by the poll — by the shekel of the sanctuary thou takest; twenty gerahs the shekel [is];
48 把那多餘之人的贖銀交給亞倫和他的兒子。」
and thou hast given the money to Aaron, and to his sons, whereby those over and above are ransomed.'
49 於是摩西從那被利未人所贖以外的人取了贖銀。
And Moses taketh the ransom money from those over and above those ransomed 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 first-born of the sons of Israel he hath taken the money, a thousand and three hundred and sixty and five — 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 giveth the money of those ransomed to Aaron, and to his sons, according to the command of Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
