Numbers 3
1 And these [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day in which the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sina.
耶和華在西奈山曉諭摩西的日子，亞倫和摩西的後代如下：
2 And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn; and Abiud, Eleazar and Ithamar.
亞倫的兒子，長子名叫拿答，還有亞比戶、以利亞撒、以他瑪。
3 These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests whom they consecrated to the priesthood.
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。
4 And Nadab and Abiud died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sina; and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priests' office with Aaron their father.
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。
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西說：
6 Take the tribe of Levi, and you shall set them before Aaron the priest, and they shall minister to him,
「你使利未支派近前來，站在祭司亞倫面前好服事他，
7 and shall keep his charges, and the charges of the children of Israel, before the tabernacle of witness, to do the works of the tabernacle.
替他和會眾在會幕前守所吩咐的，辦理帳幕的事。
8 And they shall keep all the furniture of the tabernacle of witness, and the charges of the children of Israel as to all the works of the tabernacle.
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。
9 And you shall give the Levites to Aaron, and to his sons the priests; they are given for a gift to me of the children of Israel.
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。
10 And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons over the tabernacle of witness; and they shall keep their charge of priesthood, and all things belonging to the altar, and within the veil; and the stranger that touches them shall die.
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。」
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西說：
12 Behold, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel, instead of every male that opens the womb from amongst the children of Israel: they shall be their ransom, and the Levites shall be mine.
「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。
13 For every firstborn [is] mine; in the day in which I struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to myself every firstborn in Israel: both of man and beast, they shall be mine: I [am] the Lord.
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。」
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina, saying,
