Numbers 4
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：「
2 Take the sum of the children of Caath from the midst of the sons of Levi, after their families, according to the houses of their fathers' households;
你應依照宗族和家系，統計肋未人中的刻哈特子孫，
3 from twenty-five years old and upward until fifty years, every one that goes in to minister, to do all the works in the tabernacle of witness.
由三十歲以上到五十歲，凡應入伍到會幕服務的都要登記。
4 And these are the works of the sons of Caath in the tabernacle of witness; it is most holy.
刻哈特子孫在會幕內的任務，是管理至聖之物。
5 And Aaron and his sons shall go in, when the camp is about to move, and shall take down the shadowing veil, and shall cover with it the ark of the testimony.
起營出發時，亞郎和他的兒子應來卸下帳幔，用來包裹約櫃，
6 And they shall put on it a cover, even a blue skin, and put on it above a garment all of blue, and shall put the staves through [the rings].
上面蒙上海豚皮蓋，其上再舖上純紫布，然後安上杠桿。
7 And they shall put on the table set forth for show-bread a cloth all of purple, and the dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and the vessels with which one offers drink-offerings; and the continual loaves shall be upon it.
在供餅桌上，應舖上子布，擺上盤、匙、杯和奠酒的爵；常供餅應仍在桌上。
8 And they shall put upon it a scarlet cloth, and they shall cover it with a blue covering of skin, and they shall put the staves into it.
以後，在這些物件上，蓋上朱紅布，再蒙上海豚皮罩，然後安上杠桿。
9 And they shall take a blue covering, and cover the candlestick that gives light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its funnels, and all the vessels of oil with which they minister.
此後，拿一塊紫布，包好燈台和燈盞、剪子、碟子，以及為燈台用的一切油具；
10 And they shall put it, and all its vessels, into a blue skin cover; and they shall put it on bearers.
將燈台和所有的用具，裝入海豚皮袋內，放在擔架上。
11 And they shall put a blue cloth for a cover on the golden altar, and shall cover it with a blue skin cover, and put in its staves.
在金祭壇上舖上紫布，再用海豚皮包好，然後安上杠桿。
12 And they shall take all the instruments of service, with which they minister in the sanctuary: and shall place them in a cloth of blue, and shall cover them with blue skin covering, and put them upon staves.
再把聖所內使用的一切用具都拿來，放在紫布袋內，再蒙上海豚皮罩，放在擔架上。
13 And he shall put the covering on the altar, and they shall cover it with a cloth all of purple.
把祭壇上的灰清除，舖上紫紅布，
14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels with which they minister upon it, and the fire-pans, and the flesh hooks, and the cups, and the cover, and all the vessels of the altar; and they shall put on it a blue cover of skins, and shall put in its staves; and they shall take a purple cloth, and cover the laver and its foot, and they shall put it into a blue cover of skin, and put it on bars.
上面放上一切用具：火盆。肉叉、鏟子、盤子以及祭壇上的一切用具；其上再蒙上海豚皮罩，然後安上杠桿。
15 And Aaron and his sons shall finish covering the holy things, and all the holy vessels, when the camp begins to move; and afterwards the sons of Caath shall go in to take up [the furniture]; but shall not touch the holy things, lest they die: these shall the sons of Caath bear in the tabernacle of witness.
亞郎和他的兒子包裝完了聖物和聖所的一切用具，起營出發時，刻哈特的子孫纔來抬，免得他們觸摸聖物而死亡：這是刻哈特的子孫對會幕的職務。
16 Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is overseer—the oil of the light, and the incense of composition, and the daily meat-offering and the anointing oil, are his charge; even the oversight of the whole tabernacle, and all things that are in it in the holy place, in all the works.
至於亞郎大司祭的兒子厄肋阿匝爾的任務，是管理燈油、香料、日獻的素祭和為傅禮用的油，並照管全會幕與其中所有的聖物和器具。」
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：「
18 You shall not destroy the family of Caath from the tribe out of the midst of the Levites.
不要使刻哈特族的一支由肋未人中消滅；
19 This do you to them, and they shall live and not die, when they approach the holy of holies: Let Aaron and his sons advance, and they shall place them each in his post for bearing.
為使他們接近至聖之物時，生存而不死亡，你們對他們應這樣做：亞郎和他的兒子先來，給他們每人指定各人服役和搬運的工作，
20 And [so] they shall by no means go in to look suddenly upon the holy things, and die.
免得這些人進去一時見到聖物而遭遇死亡。」
21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟說：「
22 Take the sum of the children of Gedson, and these according to the houses of their lineage, according to their families.
你要依照家系和宗族統計革爾雄的子孫，
23 Take the number of them from five and twenty years old and upwards until the age of fifty, every one that goes in to minister, to do his business in the tabernacle of witness.
由三十歲以上到五十歲，凡應入伍到會幕服務的，都要登記。
24 This [is] the public service of the family of Gedson, to minister and to bear.
革爾雄家族的任務是服役和搬運：
25 And they shall bear the skins of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of witness, and its veil, and the blue cover that was on it above, and the cover of the door of the tabernacle of witness.
搬運帳幕的帷幔、會幕和其頂蓬，及其上面蓋的海豚皮和會幕的門簾，
26 And all the curtains of the court which were upon the tabernacle of witness, and the appendages, and all the vessels of service that they minister with they shall attend to.
庭院的帷幔，圍繞會幕和祭壇庭院的門簾、繩索以及一切為服役用的器具；凡交與他們應作的一切，他們都應執行。
27 According to the direction of Aaron and his sons shall be the ministry of the sons of Gedson, in all their ministries, and in all their works; and you shall take account of them by name in all things borne by them.
革爾雄人所有的任務，不論是搬運或是服役，應全遵照亞郎和他兒子的吩咐；所以你們應照顧他們搬運一切：
28 This is the service of the sons of Gedson in the tabernacle of witness, and their charge by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
這是革爾雄人的家族對會幕的任務；他們應在大司祭亞郎的兒子依塔瑪爾指揮下服役。
29 The sons of Merari according to their families, according to the houses of their lineage, take you the number of them.
對默辣黎的子孫，你要依照宗族和家系統計他們；
30 Take the number of them from five and twenty years old and upwards until fifty years old, every one that goes in to perform the services of the tabernacle of witness.
由三十歲以上到五十歲，凡應入伍到會幕服務的，都要登記。
31 And these are the charges of the things borne by them according to all their works in the tabernacle of witness: they shall bear the chapiters of the tabernacle, and the bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and the veil, and [there shall be] their sockets, and their pillars, and the curtain of the door of the tabernacle.
依照他們在會幕內所擔任的職務，應搬運的是：帳幕的木板、橫木、柱子和卯座，
32 And they shall bear the pillars of the court round about, and [there shall be] their sockets, and [they shall bear] the pillars of the veil of the door of the court, and their sockets and their pins, and their cords, and all their furniture, and all their instruments of service: take you their number by name, and all the articles of the charge of the things borne by them.
庭院四週的柱子、卯座、橛子和繩索，一切用具及服務所需的一切。你們應按名一一指定他們應搬運的物件：

這是默辣黎人的家族，在司祭亞郎的兒子依塔瑪爾指揮下，對會幕應盡的各種職務。」
