< Numbers 3 >

1 And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses on mount Sinai.
Inilah keluarga Harun dan Musa pada waktu TUHAN berbicara kepada Musa di atas Gunung Sinai.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Harun mempunyai empat anak laki-laki: Nadab yang sulung, kemudian Abihu, Eleazar dan Itamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, who were consecrated to exercise the priesthood.
Mereka ditahbiskan menjadi imam dengan upacara penuangan minyak di atas kepala.
4 And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah when they offered strange fire before Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons; and Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the presence of Aaron their father.
Tetapi Nadab dan Abihu mati di padang gurun Sinai, pada saat mereka menghadap TUHAN dengan api yang tidak halal. Mereka berdua tidak mempunyai anak. Jadi selama Harun masih hidup, Eleazar dan Itamar bertugas sebagai imam.
5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him;
"Suruhlah suku Lewi datang menghadap, dan tunjuklah mereka menjadi pelayan-pelayan Harun.
7 and they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole assembly, before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Mereka bertugas di Kemah-Ku dan harus melayani para imam serta seluruh umat dengan pekerjaan mereka di Kemah-Ku itu.
8 And they shall keep all the utensils of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Tugas mereka ialah mengurus seluruh perlengkapan Kemah-Ku dan melakukan pekerjaan di Kemah-Ku itu sebagai pengganti orang-orang Israel.
9 And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given to him out of the children of Israel.
Dari bangsa Israel, hanya suku Lewi yang Kutugaskan menjadi pelayan tetap bagi Harun dan keturunannya.
10 And Aaron and his sons shalt thou appoint that they may attend to their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.
Tetapi Harun dan anak-anaknya harus kauangkat untuk menjalankan tugas sebagai imam; selain mereka, siapa saja yang mencoba melakukan tugas itu harus dihukum mati."
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine;
"Sekarang orang-orang Lewi Kupilih menjadi milik-Ku. Ketika Aku membunuh semua anak sulung bangsa Mesir, Kukhususkan bagi-Ku semua anak laki-laki sulung orang Israel dan semua ternak mereka yang pertama lahir. Semuanya itu adalah milik-Ku. Sebagai pengganti anak laki-laki sulung Israel, Aku mengambil orang Lewi untuk-Ku; mereka akan menjadi kepunyaan-Ku. Akulah TUHAN."
13 for every firstborn is mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast; mine shall they be: I am Jehovah.
14 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Di padang gurun Sinai TUHAN menyuruh Musa
