Numbers 1

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the covenant, on the first day of the second month, in the year after their departure from Egypt, saying:

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 total of the entire assembly of the sons of Israel, by their families and houses, and the names of each one, of whomever is of the male sex,

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 from twenty years and above, of all the able-bodied men out of Israel, and you shall number them by their companies, you and Aaron.

47 But the Levites in the tribes of their families were not numbered with them.

但是肋末人沒有依照自己的宗派同他們一起登記，

48 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

因為上主曾訓示梅瑟說：「

49 “Do not number the tribe of Levi, neither shall you take a total of them with the sons of Israel.

只有肋未支派，不要登記，不要將他們列在以色列子民內。

50 But appoint them over the tabernacle of the testimony, and all its vessels, and whatever pertains to the ceremonies. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles. And they shall be for the ministry, and they shall encamp all around the tabernacle.

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 When you would depart, the Levites shall take down the tabernacle. When you are to make camp, they shall set it up. Any outsider who will approach it shall be killed.

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 Now the sons of Israel shall make camp, each one by his companies and bands, as well as his army.

以色列子民應分隊紮營，各歸本旗。

53 Moreover, the Levites shall fix their tents all around the tabernacle, lest there be an indignation over the multitude of the sons of Israel. And they shall stand watch as guardians over 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 Therefore, the sons of Israel acted according to everything that the Lord had instructed 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。
