Numbers 1
1 On the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting in the Wilderness of Sinai. He said:
以色列人出埃及國後第二年二月一日，上主在西乃曠野於會幕內訓示梅瑟說：「
2 “Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.
你們要依照以色列子民的宗教和家系，統計全會眾的人口，把男丁的姓名都一一登記。
3 You and Aaron are to number those who are twenty years of age or older by their divisions—everyone who can serve in Israel’s army.
在以色列中，凡二十歲以上能上陣作戰的，你和亞郎要一隊一隊地統計。
4 And one man from each tribe, the head of each family, must be there with you.
每一支派有一人同你們合作，他們都是各宗族的族長。
5 These are the names of the men who are to assist you: From the tribe of Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;

16 These men were appointed from the congregation; they were the leaders of the tribes of their fathers, the heads of the clans of Israel.
這些人是由會眾中選出來的，都是他們宗族的領袖，以色列的千夫長。
17 So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,

18 and on the first day of the second month they assembled the whole congregation and recorded their ancestry by clans and families, counting one by one the names of those twenty years of age or older,

47 The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.
但是肋末人沒有依照自己的宗派同他們一起登記，
48 For the LORD had said to Moses:
因為上主曾訓示梅瑟說：「
49 “Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.
只有肋未支派，不要登記，不要將他們列在以色列子民內。
50 Instead, you are to appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.
你應派肋未人管理會幕和其中一切器皿，並一切附屬物。他們要搬運會幕和其中一切器皿，在會幕中服務，住在會幕的四周。
51 Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever it is to be pitched, the Levites are to set it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.
會幕要遷移時，肋未人拆卸；會幕要搭紮時，肋未人張搭；若俗人走近，應處死刑。
52 The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.
以色列子民應分隊紮營，各歸本旗。
53 But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the congregation of Israel. So the Levites are responsible for the tabernacle of the Testimony.”
但肋未人應在會幕四周紮營，免得以色列子民會眾觸犯天怒；肋未人應負責看守會幕。」
54 Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
以色列子民都照辦了；上主怎樣吩咐了梅瑟，他們就怎樣辦了。
