Numbers 4

1 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

١ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ:

2 “Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers’ houses,

٢ «أَحْصِيَا بَنِي قَهَاتَ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

3 from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all who enter into the service to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.

٣ مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً حَتَّى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ لِخِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

4 “This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting, regarding the most holy things.

٤ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الْخِدْمَةُ الَّتِي تُوْكَلُ إِلَى بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ: قُدْسُ الأَقْدَاسِ.

5 When the camp moves forward, Aaron shall go in with his sons; and they shall take down the veil of the screen, cover the ark of the Testimony with it,

٥ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ الرَّحِيلِ، يَأْتِي هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ وَيُنْزِلُونَ الحِجَابَ الْفَاصِلَ، وَيُغَطُّونَ بِهِ تَابُوتَ الشَّهَادَةِ،

6 put a covering of sealskin on it, spread a blue cloth over it, and put in its poles.

٦ وَيَضَعُونَ فَوْقَهُ غِطَاءً مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَيَبْسُطُونَ فَوْقَهُ ثَوْباً مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ ثُمَّ يَضَعُونَ عِصِيَّهُ فِي حَلَقَاتِهَا.

7 “On the table of show bread they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the spoons, the bowls, and the cups with which to pour out; and the continual bread shall be on it.

٧ وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ خُبْزِ الْوُجُوهِ ثَوْباً مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ وَيَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهِ الصِّحَافَ وَالصُّحُونَ وَالْكُئوسَ وَالأَبَارِيقَ الَّتِي تُسْكَبُ بِها الْقَرَابِينُ، وَيَكُونُ الْخُبْزُ الدَّائِمُ مَوْجُوداً عَلَيْهِ،

8 They shall spread on them a scarlet cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.

٨ ثُمَّ يُغَطُّونَهَا بِثَوْبٍ أَحْمَرِ اللَّوْنِ وَيَضَعُونَ فَوْقَهَا غِطَاءً مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ وَيُدْخِلُونَ عِصِيَّهَا فِي حَلَقَاتِهَا.

9 “They shall take a blue cloth and cover the lamp stand of the light, its lamps, its snuffers, its snuff dishes, and all its oil vessels, with which they minister to it.

٩ وَيُغَطُّونَ أَيْضاً الْمَنَارَةَ وَسُرُجَهَا وَمَلاقِطَهَا وَمَنَافِضَهَا، وَسَائِرَ آنِيَةِ زَيْتِهَا الَّتِي يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهَا، بِثَوْبٍ أَزْرَقَ.

10 They shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it on the frame.

١٠ وَيَلُفُّونَهَا مَعَ جَمِيعِ أَوَانِيهَا بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَيَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى حَمَّالَةٍ.

11 “On the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.

١١ وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ الذَّهَبِ ثَوْباً أَزْرَقَ وَيُغَطُّونَهُ بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَيُدْخِلُونَ عِصِيَّهُ فِي حَلَقَاتِهِ.

12 “They shall take all the vessels of ministry with which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on the frame.

١٢ وَكَذَلِكَ يَلُفُّونَ جَمِيعَ أَوَانِي الْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهَا فِي الْقُدْسِ بِثَوْبٍ أَزْرَقَ وَيُغَطُّونَهَا بِغِطَاءٍ مِنَ الدَّلْفِينِ وَيَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى حَمَّالَةٍ

13 “They shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth on it.

١٣ وَيَرْفَعُونَ رَمَادَ الْمَذْبَحِ وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْباً مِنْ قُمَاشٍ بَنَفْسَجِيٍّ،

14 They shall put on it all its vessels with which they minister about it, the fire pans, the meat hooks, the shovels, and the basins—all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of sealskin, and put in its poles.

١٤ وَيَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعَ أَوَانِيهِ الَّتِي يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهَا، الْمَجَامِرَ وَالْمَنَاشِلَ وَالرُّفُوشَ وَالْمَنَاضِحَ، كُلَّ أَوَانِي الْمَذْبَحِ، وَيُغَطُّونَهُ بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُونَ عِصِيَّهُ فِي حَلَقَاتِهِ.

15 “When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it; but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. The sons of Kohath shall carry these things belonging to the Tent of Meeting.

١٥ وَحَالَمَا يَنْتَهِي هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ مِنْ تَغْطِيَةِ الْقُدْسِ وَجَمِيعِ آنِيَتِهِ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ ارْتِحَالِ الْمُخَيَّمِ، يُقْبِلُ بَنُو قَهَاتَ لِيَحْمِلُوهَا. وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاهُمْ أَنْ يَمَسُّوا الأَشْيَاءَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ لِئَلّا يَمُوتُوا. هَذِهِ هِيَ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي حَمْلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

16 “The duty of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the continual meal offering, and the anointing oil, the requirements of all the tabernacle, and of all that is in it, the sanctuary, and its furnishings.”

١٦ وَيَكُونُ أَلِعَازَارُ بْنُ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ مَسْؤولاً عَنْ زَيْتِ الإِنَارَةِ، وَعَنِ الْبَخُورِ الْعَطِرِ، وَتَقْدِمَةِ الدَّقِيقِ الْيَوْمِيَّةِ وَدُهْنِ الْمَسْحَةِ وَعَنْ سَائِرِ الْمَسْكَنِ وَمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُدْسِ وَأَوَانِيهِ».

17 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

١٧ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ:

18 “Do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites;

١٨ «احْرِصَا أَلّا يَنْقَرِضَ فَرْعُ عَشَائِرِ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ اللّاوِيِّينَ،

19 but do this to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint everyone to his service and to his burden;

١٩ بَلِ اعْمَلا هَذَا التَّرْتِيبَ فَيَعِيشُوا وَلا يَمُوتُوا عِنْدَ اقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ. يَدْخُلُ مَعَهُمْ هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ وَيُعَيِّنُونَ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ خِدْمَتَهُ وَحِمْلَهُ.

20 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.”

٢٠ وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاهُمْ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا لِمُشَاهَدَةِ الْقُدْسِ وَلَوْ لِلَحْظَةٍ، لِئَلّا يَهْلِكُوا».

21 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

٢١ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

22 “Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers’ houses, by their families;

٢٢ «أَحْصِ عَدَدَ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ أَيْضاً حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ وَعَشَائِرِهِمْ،

23 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old: all who enter in to wait on the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.

٢٣ مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ حَتَّى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

24 “This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:

٢٤ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الخَدَمَاتُ الَّتِي تُوْكَلُ إِلَى عَشَائِرِ الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ وَحَمْلٍ:

25 they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the Tent of Meeting, its covering, the covering of sealskin that is on it, the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,

٢٥ يَحْمِلُونَ شُقَقَ الْمَسْكَنِ وَخَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَغِطَاءَهَا وَغِطَاءَ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ الَّذِي فَوْقَهَا، وَسِتَارَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

26 the hangings of the court, the screen for the door of the gate of the court which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatever shall be done with them. They shall serve in there.

٢٦ وَأَسْتَارَ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِالْمَسْكَنِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ، وَسِتَارَةَ الْمَدْخَلِ وَالْحِبَالَ وَالأَوَانِي الْمُسْتَخْدَمَةَ فِي خِدْمَتِهَا. وَيُؤَدِّي الْجَرْشُونِيُّونَ جَمِيعَ الْخِدْمَاتِ الْوَاجِبَةِ لَهَا.

27 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden and in all their service; and you shall appoint their duty to them in all their responsibilities.

٢٧ وَيَجِبُ أَنْ يَقُومُوا بِخِدْمَتِهِمْ، سَوَاءٌ أَكَانَتْ خِدْمَةَ نَقْلٍ أَمْ أَيَّ عَمَلٍ آخَرَ، تَحْتَ إِشْرَافِ هَرُونَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ. وَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُعَيِّنَ لَهُمْ مَا يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَمْلُهُ.

28 This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the Tent of Meeting. Their duty shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

٢٨ هَذِهِ هِيَ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ عَشَائِرِ الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَيَكُونُ إِيثَامَارُ بْنُ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ هُوَ الْمُشْرِفُ عَلَى تَأْدِيَةِ وَاجِبَاتِهِمْ.

29 “As for the sons of Merari, you shall count them by their families, by their fathers’ houses;

٢٩ وَتُحْصِي بَنِي مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

30 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old—everyone who enters on the service, to do the work of the Tent of Meeting.

٣٠ مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ حَتَّى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

31 This is the duty of their burden, according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle’s boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,

٣١ وَتَكُونُ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ خِدْمَتِهِمْ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ نَقْلَ أَلْوَاحِ الْمَسْكَنِ وَعَوَارِضِهِ وَأَعْمِدَتِهِ وَقَوَاعِدِهِ،

32 the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service. You shall appoint the instruments of the duty of their burden to them by name.

٣٢ وَأَعْمِدَةِ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ وَقَوَاعِدِهَا وَأَوْتَادِهَا وَحِبَالِهَا وَأَوَانِيهَا وَكُلِّ مَا يَتَّصِلُ بِخِدْمَتِهَا. وَحَدِّدُوا بِالتَّفْصِيلِ مَا يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ حَمْلُهُ.

33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”

٣٣ هَذِهِ هِيَ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ عَشَائِرِ الْمَرَارِيِّينَ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ بِها فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ تَحْتَ إِشْرَافِ إِيثَامَارَ بْنِ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ».

34 Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation counted the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers’ houses,

٣٤ فَأَحْصَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الشَّعْبِ جُمْلَةَ أَبْنَاءِ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

35 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered into the service for work in the Tent of Meeting.

٣٥ مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ إِلَى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

36 Those who were counted of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred fifty.

٣٦ فَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنْهُمْ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ أَلْفَيْنِ وَسَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ.

37 These are those who were counted of the families of the Kohathites, all who served in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted according to the commandment of the LORD by Moses.

٣٧ هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الْمُحْصَوْنَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ الْخَادِمِينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى.

38 Those who were counted of the sons of Gershon, by their families, and by their fathers’ houses,

٣٨ وَتَمَّ إِحْصَاءُ جُمْلَةِ أَبْنَاءِ جَرْشُونَ حَسَب عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

39 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old—everyone who entered into the service for work in the Tent of Meeting,

٣٩ مِنْ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ إِلَى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

40 even those who were counted of them, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, were two thousand six hundred thirty.

٤٠ وَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنْهُم حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ أَلْفَيْنِ وَسِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ.

41 These are those who were counted of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who served in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted according to the commandment of the LORD.

٤١ هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الْمُحْصَوْنَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ الْخَادِمِينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ.

42 Those who were counted of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by their fathers’ houses,

٤٢ وَتَمَّ إِحْصَاءُ جُمْلَةِ بَنِي مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

43 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old—everyone who entered into the service for work in the Tent of Meeting,

٤٣ مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ إِلَى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

44 even those who were counted of them by their families, were three thousand two hundred.

٤٤ فَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنْهُمْ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ ثَلاثَةَ آلافٍ وَمِئَتَيْنِ.

45 These are those who were counted of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron counted according to the commandment of the LORD by Moses.

٤٥ هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الْمُحْصَوْنَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي مَرَارِي الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ الَّربِّ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى.

46 All those who were counted of the Levites whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel counted, by their families and by their fathers’ houses,

٤٦ فَكَانَ مَجْمُوعُ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنَ اللّاوِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ.

47 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered in to do the work of service and the work of bearing burdens in the Tent of Meeting,

٤٧ مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثَينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ إِلَى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، الْمُجَنَّدِينَ فِي عَمَلِ الْخِدْمَةِ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَفِي خِدْمَةِ نَقْلِهَا،

48 even those who were counted of them, were eight thousand five hundred eighty.

٤٨ ثَمَانِيَةَ آلافٍ وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِينَ.

49 According to the commandment of the LORD they were counted by Moses, everyone according to his service and according to his burden. Thus they were counted by him, as the LORD commanded Moses.

٤٩ وَكَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى تَمَّ تَعْيِينُ كُلِّ لاوِيٍّ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ وَتَحْدِيدُ مَا يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَيْهِ حَمْلُهُ. وَهَكَذَا تَمَّ إِحْصَاؤُهُمْ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.
