Numbers 3

1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses on Mount Sinai.

١ وَهَذِهِ تَوَالِيدُ هَارُونَ وَمُوسَى يَوْمَ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ.

2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the oldest, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

٢ وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ بَنِي هَارُونَ: نَادَابُ ٱلْبِكْرُ، وَأَبِيهُو وَأَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ.

3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests, on whom the holy oil was put, who were marked out as priests.

٣ هَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ بَنِي هَارُونَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلْمَمْسُوحِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَلَأَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ لِلْكَهَانَةِ.

4 And Nadab and Abihu were put to death before the Lord when they made an offering of strange fire before the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar did the work of priests before Aaron their father.

٤ وَلَكِنْ مَاتَ نَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ عِنْدَمَا قَرَّبَا نَارًا غَرِيبَةً أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمَا بَنُونَ. وَأَمَّا أَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ فَكَهَنَا أَمَامَ هَارُونَ أَبِيهِمَا.

5 And the Lord said to Moses,

٥ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

6 Make the tribe of Levi come near, and put them before Aaron the priest, to be his helpers,

٦ «قَدِّمْ سِبْطَ لَاوِي وَأَوْقِفْهُمْ قُدَّامَ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَلْيَخْدِمُوهُ.

7 In order that they may be responsible to him and to all Israel for the care of the Tent of meeting, and to do the work of the House;

٧ فَيَحْفَظُونَ شَعَائِرَهُ وَشَعَائِرَ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ قُدَّامَ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَيَخْدِمُونَ خِدْمَةَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ،

8 And they will have the care of all the vessels of the Tent of meeting, and will do for the children of Israel all the necessary work of the House.

٨ فَيَحْرُسُونَ كُلَّ أَمْتِعَةِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَحِرَاسَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَخْدِمُونَ خِدْمَةَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ.

9 Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.

٩ فَتُعْطِي ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ لِهَارُونَ وَلِبَنِيهِ. إِنَّهُمْ مَوْهُوبُونَ لَهُ هِبَةً مِنْ عِنْدِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

10 And give orders that Aaron and his sons are to keep their place as priests; any strange person who comes near is to be put to death.

١٠ وَتُوَكِّلُ هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ فَيَحْرُسُونَ كَهَنُوتَهُمْ، وَٱلْأَجْنَبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتَرِبُ يُقْتَلُ».

11 And the Lord said to Moses,

١١ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

12 See, I have taken the Levites out of the children of Israel to be mine in place of the first sons of the children of Israel;

١٢ «وَهَا إِنِّي قَدْ أَخَذْتُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَكُونُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ لِي.

13 For all the first sons are mine; on the day when I put to death all the first sons in the land of Egypt, I took for myself every first male birth of man and beast. They are mine; I am the Lord.

١٣ لِأَنَّ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ. يَوْمَ ضَرَبْتُ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ قَدَّسْتُ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ. لِي يَكُونُونَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

14 And the Lord said to Moses in the waste land of Sinai,

١٤ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ قَائِلًا:

15 Let all the children of Levi be numbered by their families and their fathers' houses; let every male of a month old and over be numbered.

١٥ «عُدَّ بَنِي لَاوِي حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ وَعَشَائِرِهِمْ. كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا تَعُدُّهُمْ».

16 So Moses did as the Lord said, numbering them as he had been ordered.

١٦ فَعَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا أُمِرَ.

17 These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.

١٧ وَكَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنِي لَاوِي بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ: جَرْشُونُ وَقَهَاتُ وَمَرَارِي.

18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon, by their families: Libni and Shimei.

١٨ وَهَذَانِ ٱسْمَا ٱبْنَيْ جَرْشُونَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمَا: لِبْنِي وَشِمْعِي.

19 And the sons of Kohath, by their families: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel.

١٩ وَبَنُو قَهَاتَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: عَمْرَامُ وَيِصْهَارُ وَحَبْرُونُ وَعُزِّيئِيلُ.

20 And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites in the order of their fathers' houses.

٢٠ وَٱبْنَا مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمَا: مَحْلِي وَمُوشِي. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ.

21 From Gershon come the Libnites and the Shimeites; these are the families of the Gershonites.

٢١ لِجَرْشُونَ عَشِيرَةُ ٱللِّبْنِيِّينَ وَعَشِيرَةُ ٱلشِّمْعِيِّينَ. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ.

22 Those who were numbered of them, the males from one month old and over, were seven thousand, five hundred.

٢٢ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ بِعَدَدِ كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا، ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعَةُ آلَافٍ وَخَمْسُ مِئَةٍ.

23 The tents of the Gershonites are to be placed at the back of the House, to the west.

٢٣ عَشَائِرُ ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ يَنْزِلُونَ وَرَاءَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ إِلَى ٱلْغَرْبِ،

24 The chief of the Gershonites is Eliasaph, the son of Lael.

٢٤ وَٱلرَّئِيسُ لِبَيْتِ أَبِي ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ أَلِيَاسَافُ بْنُ لَايِلَ.

25 In the Tent of meeting, the Gershonites are to have the care of the House, and the Tent with its cover, and the veil for the door of the Tent of meeting,

٢٥ وَحِرَاسَةُ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ: ٱلْمَسْكَنُ، وَٱلْخَيْمَةُ وَغِطَاؤُهَا، وَسَجْفُ بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ،

26 And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, and all the cords needed for its use.

٢٦ وَأَسْتَارُ ٱلدَّارِ وَسَجْفُ بَابِ ٱلدَّارِ ٱللَّوَاتِي حَوْلَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ وَحَوْلَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ مُحِيطًا وَأَطْنَابُهُ مَعَ كُلِّ خِدْمَتِهِ.

27 From Kohath come the Amramites and the Izharites and the Hebronites and the Uzzielites; these are the families of the Kohathites.

٢٧ وَلِقَهَاتَ عَشِيرَةُ ٱلْعَمْرَامِيِّينَ وَعَشِيرَةُ ٱلْيِصْهَارِيِّينَ وَعَشِيرَةُ ٱلْحَبْرُونِيِّينَ وَعَشِيرَةُ ٱلْعُزِّيئِيلِيِّينَ. هَذِهِ عَشَائِرُ ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ،

28 Those who were numbered of them, the males from one month old and over, were eight thousand, six hundred, who were responsible for the care of the holy place.

٢٨ بِعَدَدِ كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا ثَمَانِيَةُ آلَافٍ وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ حَارِسِينَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلْقُدْسِ.

29 The tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.

٢٩ وَعَشَائِرُ بَنِي قَهَاتَ يَنْزِلُونَ عَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ إِلَى ٱلتَّيْمَنِ،

30 Their chief is Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.

٣٠ وَٱلرَّئِيسُ لِبَيْتِ أَبِي عَشِيرَةِ ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ أَلِيصَافَانُ بْنُ عُزِّيئِيلَ.

31 In their care are the ark, and the table, and the lights, and the altars, and all the vessels used in the holy place, and the veil, and all they are used for.

٣١ وَحِرَاسَتُهُمُ ٱلتَّابُوتُ وَٱلْمَائِدَةُ وَٱلْمَنَارَةُ وَٱلْمَذْبَحَانِ وَأَمْتِعَةُ ٱلْقُدْسِ ٱلَّتِي يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَا، وَٱلْحِجَابُ وَكُلُّ خِدْمَتِهِ.

32 Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, will be head over all the Levites and overseer of those responsible for the care of the holy place.

٣٢ وَلِرَئِيسِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَكَالَةُ حُرَّاسِ حِرَاسَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ.

33 From Merari come the Mahlites and the Mushites; these are the families of Merari.

٣٣ وَلِمَرَارِي عَشِيرَةُ ٱلْمَحْلِيِّينَ وَعَشِيرَةُ ٱلْمُوشِيِّينَ. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ مَرَارِي.

34 Those who were numbered of them, the males of a month old and over, were six thousand, two hundred.

٣٤ وَٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ بِعَدَدِ كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا سِتَّةُ آلَافٍ وَمِئَتَانِ،

35 The chief of the families of Merari was Zuriel, the son of Abihail: their tents are to be placed on the north side of the House.

٣٥ وَٱلرَّئِيسُ لِبَيْتِ أَبِي عَشَائِرِ مَرَارِي صُورِيئِيلُ بْنُ أَبِيَحَايِلَ. يَنْزِلُونَ عَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ.

36 And in their care are to be all the boards of the Tent, with their rods and pillars and bases, and all the instruments, and all they are used for,

٣٦ وَوَكَالَةُ حِرَاسَةِ بَنِي مَرَارِي: أَلْوَاحُ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ وَعَوَارِضُهُ وَأَعْمِدَتُهُ وَفُرَضُهُ وَكُلُّ أَمْتِعَتِهِ وَكُلُّ خِدْمَتِهِ،

37 And the pillars of the open space round it, with their bases and nails and cords.

٣٧ وَأَعْمِدَةُ ٱلدَّارِ حَوَالَيْهَا وَفُرَضُهَا وَأَوْتَادُهَا وَأَطْنَابُهَا.

38 And those whose tents are to be placed on the east side of the House in front of the Tent of meeting, looking to the dawn, are Moses and Aaron and his sons, who will do the work of the holy place for the children of Israel; and any strange person who comes near will be put to death.

٣٨ وَٱلنَّازِلُونَ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ إِلَى ٱلشَّرْقِ قُدَّامَ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، نَحْوَ ٱلشُّرُوقِ، هُمْ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَبَنُوهُ، حَارِسِينَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلْمَقْدِسِ لِحِرَاسَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱلْأَجْنَبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتَرِبُ يُقْتَلُ.

39 All the Levites numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord, all the males of one month old and over numbered in the order of their families, were twenty-two thousand.

٣٩ جَمِيعُ ٱلْمَعْدُودِينَ مِنَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِعَشَائِرِهِمْ، كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا، ٱثْنَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا.

40 And the Lord said to Moses, Let all the first male children be numbered, and take the number of their names.

٤٠ وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «عُدَّ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ ذَكَرٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا، وَخُذْ عَدَدَ أَسْمَائِهِمْ.

41 And give to me the Levites (I am the Lord) in place of the first sons of the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites in place of the first births among the cattle of the children of Israel.

٤١ فَتَأْخُذُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ لِي. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ. بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَبَهَائِمَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَهَائِمِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».

42 So Moses had all the first sons among the children of Israel numbered, as the Lord said to him.

٤٢ فَعَدَّ مُوسَى كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

43 Every first son from a month old and over was numbered by name, and the number came to twenty-two thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.

٤٣ فَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَبْكَارِ ٱلذُّكُورِ بِعَدَدِ ٱلْأَسْمَاءِ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا، ٱلْمَعْدُودِينَ مِنْهُمُ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثَةً وَسَبْعِينَ.

44 And the Lord said to Moses,

٤٤ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

45 Take the Levites in place of all the first sons of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites in place of their cattle; the Levites are to be mine; I am the Lord.

٤٥ «خُذِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَهَائِمَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ بَهَائِمِهِمْ، فَيَكُونَ لِيَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

46 And the price you have to give for the two hundred and seventy-three first sons of the children of Israel which are in addition to the number of the Levites,

٤٦ وَأَمَّا فِدَاءُ ٱلْمِئَتَيْنِ وَٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلسَّبْعِينَ ٱلزَّائِدِينَ عَلَى ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ أَبْكَارِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،

47 Will be five shekels for every one, by the scale of the holy place (the shekel is twenty gerahs);

٤٧ فَتَأْخُذُ خَمْسَةَ شَوَاقِلَ لِكُلِّ رَأْسٍ. عَلَى شَاقِلِ ٱلْقُدْسِ تَأْخُذُهَا. عِشْرُونَ جِيرَةً ٱلشَّاقِلُ.

48 And this money, the price of those over the number of the Levites, is to be given to Aaron and his sons.

٤٨ وَتُعْطِي ٱلْفِضَّةَ لِهَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ فِدَاءَ ٱلزَّائِدِينَ عَلَيْهِمْ».

49 So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;

٤٩ فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى فِضَّةَ فِدَائِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلزَّائِدِينَ عَلَى فِدَاءِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ.

50 From the first sons of Israel he took it, a thousand, three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the scale of the holy place;

٥٠ مِنْ أَبْكَارِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَخَذَ ٱلْفِضَّةَ أَلْفًا وَثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَسِتِّينَ عَلَى شَاقِلِ ٱلْقُدْسِ،

51 And he gave the money to Aaron and his sons, as the Lord had said.

٥١ وَأَعْطَى مُوسَى فِضَّةَ ٱلْفِدَاءِ لِهَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.
