Numbers 4
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：「
2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, according to their fathers' houses,
你應依照宗族和家系，統計肋未人中的刻哈特子孫，
3 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.
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 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting: 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 when the camp setteth forward, Aaron and his sons shall go in, and they shall take down the veil of separation and cover the ark of testimony with it;
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 shall put thereon a covering of badgers' skin, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put its staves [to it].
上面蒙上海豚皮蓋，其上再舖上純紫布，然後安上杠桿。
7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue; and put thereon the dishes, and the cups, and the bowls, and goblets of the drink-offering; and the continual bread shall be thereon.
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 spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skin, and shall put its staves [to 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 cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-trays, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they perform its service;
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 the utensils thereof within a covering of badgers' skin, and shall put it upon a pole.
將燈台和所有的用具，裝入海豚皮袋內，放在擔架上。
11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skin, and shall put its staves [to it].
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, wherewith they serve in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skin, and shall put them upon a pole.
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 they shall cleanse the altar of the ashes, and spread a purple cloth thereon;
把祭壇上的灰清除，舖上紫紅布，
14 and they shall put upon it all the utensils thereof, wherewith they perform service about it: the firepans, the forks, and the shovels, and the bowls, — all the utensils of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skin, and put its staves [to it].
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 when Aaron and his sons have ended covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp setteth forward, then afterwards the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it; but they shall not touch the holy things, lest they die. This is what the sons of Kohath have to carry in the tent of meeting.
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 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall have the oversight of the oil for the light, and the fragrant incense, and the continual oblation, and the anointing oil, — the oversight of the whole tabernacle, and of all that is therein, over the sanctuary, and over its furniture.
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 Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：「
18 Ye shall not cut off the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites,
不要使刻哈特族的一支由肋未人中消滅；
19 but this shall ye do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they draw near unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden;
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 but they shall not go in and see for a moment the holy things, lest they die.
免得這些人進去一時見到聖物而遭遇死亡。」
21 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟說：「
22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, according to their fathers' houses, after their families.

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，
