< Numbers 4 >
1 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron dicens
2 “Take a census of the Kohathites among the Levites by their clans and families,
tolle summam filiorum Caath de medio Levitarum per domos et familias suas
3 men from thirty to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
a tricesimo anno et supra usque ad quinquagesimum annum omnium qui ingrediuntur ut stent et ministrent in tabernaculo foederis
4 This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.
hic est cultus filiorum Caath tabernaculum foederis et sanctum sanctorum
5 Whenever the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the veil of the curtain, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.
ingredientur Aaron et filii eius quando movenda sunt castra et deponent velum quod pendet ante fores involventque eo arcam testimonii
6 They are to place over this a covering of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth over it, and insert its poles.
et operient rursum velamine ianthinarum pellium extendentque desuper pallium totum hyacinthinum et inducent vectes
7 Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and place the plates and cups on it, along with the bowls and pitchers for the drink offering. The regular bread offering is to remain on it.
mensam quoque propositionis involvent hyacinthino pallio et ponent cum ea turibula et mortariola cyatos et crateras ad liba fundenda panes semper in ea erunt
8 And they shall spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with fine leather, and insert the poles.
extendentque desuper pallium coccineum quod rursum operient velamento ianthinarum pellium et inducent vectes
9 They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand used for light, together with its lamps, wick trimmers, and trays, as well as the jars of oil with which to supply it.
sument et pallium hyacinthinum quo operient candelabrum cum lucernis et forcipibus suis et emunctoriis et cunctis vasis olei quae ad concinnandas lucernas necessaria sunt
10 Then they shall wrap it and all its utensils inside a covering of fine leather and put it on the carrying frame.
et super omnia ponent operimentum ianthinarum pellium et inducent vectes
11 Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth, cover it with fine leather, and insert the poles.
nec non et altare aureum involvent hyacinthino vestimento et extendent desuper operimentum ianthinarum pellium inducentque vectes
12 They are to take all the utensils for serving in the sanctuary, place them in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and put them on the carrying frame.
omnia vasa quibus ministratur in sanctuario involvent hyacinthino pallio et extendent desuper operimentum ianthinarum pellium inducentque vectes
13 Then they shall remove the ashes from the bronze altar, spread a purple cloth over it,
sed et altare mundabunt cinere et involvent illud purpureo vestimento
14 and place on it all the vessels used to serve there: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls—all the equipment of the altar. They are to spread over it a covering of fine leather and insert the poles.
ponentque cum eo omnia vasa quibus in ministerio eius utuntur id est ignium receptacula fuscinulas ac tridentes uncinos et vatilla cuncta vasa altaris operient simul velamine ianthinarum pellium et inducent vectes
15 When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all their equipment, as soon as the camp is ready to move, the Kohathites shall come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy objects, or they will die. These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the Tent of Meeting.
cumque involverint Aaron et filii eius sanctuarium et omnia vasa eius in commotione castrorum tunc intrabunt filii Caath ut portent involuta et non tangant vasa sanctuarii ne moriantur ista sunt onera filiorum Caath in tabernaculo foederis
16 Eleazar son of Aaron the priest shall oversee the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He has oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including the holy objects and their utensils.”
super quos erit Eleazar filius Aaron sacerdotis ad cuius pertinet curam oleum ad concinnandas lucernas et conpositionis incensum et sacrificium quod semper offertur et oleum unctionis et quicquid ad cultum tabernaculi pertinet omniumque vasorum quae in sanctuario sunt
17 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron dicens
18 “Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be cut off from among the Levites.
nolite perdere populum Caath de medio Levitarum
19 In order that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and what he is to carry.
sed hoc facite eis ut vivant et non moriantur si tetigerint sancta sanctorum Aaron et filii eius intrabunt ipsique disponent opera singulorum et divident quid portare quis debeat
20 But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”
alii nulla curiositate videant quae sunt in sanctuario priusquam involvantur alioquin morientur
21 And the LORD said to Moses,
locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
22 “Take a census of the Gershonites as well, by their families and clans,
tolle summam etiam filiorum Gerson per domos ac familias et cognationes suas
23 from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
a triginta annis et supra usque ad annos quinquaginta numera omnes qui ingrediuntur et ministrant in tabernaculo foederis
24 This is the service of the Gershonite clans regarding work and transport:
hoc est officium familiae Gersonitarum
25 They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting with the covering of fine leather over it, the curtains for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
ut portent cortinas tabernaculi et tectum foederis operimentum aliud et super omnia velamen ianthinum tentoriumque quod pendet in introitu foederis tabernaculi
26 the curtains of the courtyard, and the curtains for the entrance at the gate of the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, along with their ropes and all the equipment for their service. The Gershonites will do all that needs to be done with these items.
cortinas atrii et velum in introitu quod est ante tabernaculum omnia quae ad altare pertinent funiculos et vasa ministerii
27 All the service of the Gershonites—all their transport duties and other work—is to be done at the direction of Aaron and his sons; you are to assign to them all that they are responsible to carry.
iubente Aaron et filiis eius portabunt filii Gerson et scient singuli cui debeant oneri mancipari
28 This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the Tent of Meeting, and their duties shall be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
hic est cultus familiae Gersonitarum in tabernaculo foederis eruntque sub manu Ithamar filii Aaron sacerdotis
29 As for the sons of Merari, you are to number them by their clans and families,
filios quoque Merari per familias et domos patrum suorum recensebis
30 from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work of the Tent of Meeting.
a triginta annis et supra usque ad annos quinquaginta omnes qui ingrediuntur ad officium ministerii sui et cultum foederis testimonii
31 This is the duty for all their service at the Tent of Meeting: to carry the frames of the tabernacle with its crossbars, posts, and bases,
haec sunt onera eorum portabunt tabulas tabernaculi et vectes eius columnas et bases earum
32 and the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes, including all their equipment and everything related to their use. You shall assign by name the items that they are responsible to carry.
columnas quoque atrii per circuitum cum basibus et paxillis et funibus suis omnia vasa et supellectilem ad numerum accipient sicque portabunt
33 This is the service of the Merarite clans according to all their work at the Tent of Meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”
hoc est officium familiae Meraritarum et ministerium in tabernaculo foederis eruntque sub manu Ithamar filii Aaron sacerdotis
34 So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation numbered the Kohathites by their clans and families,
recensuerunt igitur Moses et Aaron et principes synagogae filios Caath per cognationes et domos patrum suorum
35 everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
a triginta annis et supra usque ad annum quinquagesimum omnes qui ingrediuntur ad ministerium tabernaculi foederis
36 And those numbered by their clans totaled 2,750.
et inventi sunt duo milia septingenti quinquaginta
37 These were counted from the Kohathite clans, everyone who could serve at the Tent of Meeting. Moses and Aaron numbered them according to the command of the LORD through Moses.
hic est numerus populi Caath qui intrat tabernaculum foederis hos numeravit Moses et Aaron iuxta sermonem Domini per manum Mosi
38 Then the Gershonites were numbered by their clans and families,
numerati sunt et filii Gerson per cognationes et domos patrum suorum
39 everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
a triginta annis et supra usque ad annum quinquagesimum omnes qui ingrediuntur ut ministrent in tabernaculo foederis
40 And those numbered by their clans and families totaled 2,630.
et inventi sunt duo milia sescenti triginta
41 These were counted from the Gershonite clans who served at the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted at the LORD’s command.
hic est populus Gersonitarum quos numeraverunt Moses et Aaron iuxta verbum Domini
42 And the Merarites were numbered by their clans and families,
numerati sunt et filii Merari per cognationes et domos patrum suorum
43 everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
a triginta annis et supra usque ad annum quinquagesimum omnes qui ingrediuntur ad explendos ritus tabernaculi foederis
44 The men registered by their clans numbered 3,200.
et inventi sunt tria milia ducenti
45 These were counted from the Merarite clans, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the LORD’s command through Moses.
hic est numerus filiorum Merari quos recensuerunt Moses et Aaron iuxta imperium Domini per manum Mosi
46 So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel numbered by their clans and families all the Levites
omnes qui recensiti sunt de Levitis et quos fecit ad nomen Moses et Aaron et principes Israhel per cognationes et domos patrum suorum
47 from thirty to fifty years old who came to do the work of serving and carrying the Tent of Meeting.
a triginta annis et supra usque ad annum quinquagesimum ingredientes ad ministerium tabernaculi et onera portanda
48 And the number of men was 8,580.
fuerunt simul octo milia quingenti octoginta
49 At the LORD’s command they were numbered through Moses and each one was assigned his work and burden, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
iuxta verbum Domini recensuit eos Moses unumquemque iuxta officium et onera sua sicut praeceperat ei Dominus
