Numbers 4
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說：
2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, according to their fathers' houses,
「你從利未人中，將哥轄子孫的總數，照他們的家室、宗族，
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.
從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏辦事的，全都計算。
4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting: it is most holy.
哥轄子孫在會幕搬運至聖之物，所辦的事乃是這樣：
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;
起營的時候，亞倫和他兒子要進去摘下遮掩櫃的幔子，用以蒙蓋法櫃，
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].
又用海狗皮蓋在上頭，再蒙上純藍色的毯子，把槓穿上。
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.
又用藍色毯子鋪在陳設餅的桌子上，將盤子、調羹、奠酒的爵，和杯擺在上頭。桌子上也必有常設的餅。
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].
在其上又要蒙朱紅色的毯子，再蒙上海狗皮，把槓穿上。
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;
要拿藍色毯子，把燈臺和燈臺上所用的燈盞、剪子、蠟花盤，並一切盛油的器皿，全都遮蓋。
10 and they shall put it and all the utensils thereof within a covering of badgers' skin, and shall put it upon a pole.
又要把燈臺和燈臺的一切器具包在海狗皮裏，放在抬架上。
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].
在金壇上要鋪藍色毯子，蒙上海狗皮，把槓穿上。
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.
又要把聖所用的一切器具包在藍色毯子裏，用海狗皮蒙上，放在抬架上。
13 And they shall cleanse the altar of the ashes, and spread a purple cloth thereon;
要收去壇上的灰，把紫色毯子鋪在壇上；
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].
又要把所用的一切器具，就是火鼎、肉鍤子、鏟子、盤子，一切屬壇的器具都擺在壇上，又蒙上海狗皮，把槓穿上。
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.
將要起營的時候，亞倫和他兒子把聖所和聖所的一切器具遮蓋完了，哥轄的子孫就要來抬，只是不可摸聖物，免得他們死亡。會幕裏這些物件是哥轄子孫所當抬的。
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.
「祭司亞倫的兒子以利亞撒所要看守的是點燈的油與香料，並當獻的素祭和膏油，也要看守全帳幕與其中所有的，並聖所和聖所的器具。」
17 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說：
18 Ye shall not cut off the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites,
「你們不可將哥轄人的支派從利未人中剪除。
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;
他們挨近至聖物的時候，亞倫和他兒子要進去派他們各人所當辦的，所當抬的。這樣待他們，好使他們活着，不致死亡。
20 but they shall not go in and see for a moment the holy things, lest they die.
只是他們連片時不可進去觀看聖所，免得他們死亡。」
21 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西說：
22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, according to their fathers' houses, after their families.
「你要將革順子孫的總數，照着宗族、家室，
23 From thirty years old and upward to fifty years old shalt thou number them; every one that cometh to labour in the work, to perform the service in the tent of meeting.
從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏辦事的，全都數點。
24 This shall be the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving, and in carrying:
革順人各族所辦的事、所抬的物乃是這樣：
25 they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of badgers' skin that is above upon it, and the curtain of the entrance to the tent of meeting,
他們要抬帳幕的幔子和會幕，並會幕的蓋與其上的海狗皮，和會幕的門簾，
26 and the hangings of the court, and the curtain of the entrance, of the gate of the court, which surroundeth the tabernacle and the altar, and the cords thereof, and all the instruments of their service; and all that is to be done for these things shall they perform.
院子的帷子和門簾（院子是圍帳幕和壇的）、繩子，並所用的器具，不論是做甚麼用的，他們都要經理。
27 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their carrying, and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their carrying.
革順的子孫在一切抬物辦事之上都要憑亞倫和他兒子的吩咐；他們所當抬的，要派他們看守。
28 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting, and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
這是革順子孫的各族在會幕裏所辦的事；他們所看守的，必在祭司亞倫兒子以他瑪的手下。」
29 The sons of Merari: after their families, according to their fathers' houses shalt thou number them;
「至於米拉利的子孫，你要照着家室、宗族把他們數點。
30 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the labour, to perform the service of the tent of meeting.
從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏辦事的，你都要數點。
31 And this shall be the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and bases thereof,
他們辦理會幕的事，就是抬帳幕的板、閂、柱子，和帶卯的座，
32 and the pillars of the court round about, and their bases, and their pegs, and their cords, all their instruments, according to all their service; and by name ye shall number to them the materials which are their charge to carry.
院子四圍的柱子和其上帶卯的座、橛子、繩子，並一切使用的器具。他們所抬的器具，你們要按名指定。
33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service in the tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
這是米拉利子孫各族在會幕裏所辦的事，都在祭司亞倫兒子以他瑪的手下。」
34 And Moses and Aaron and the princes of the assembly numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and according to their fathers' houses,
摩西、亞倫與會眾的諸首領將哥轄的子孫，照着家室、宗族，
35 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, every one that entered into the labour, for service in the tent of meeting.
從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏辦事的，都數點了。
36 And those that were numbered of them according to their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
被數的共有二千七百五十名。
37 These are they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, every one that served in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Jehovah through Moses.
這是哥轄各族中被數的，是在會幕裏辦事的，就是摩西、亞倫照耶和華藉摩西所吩咐數點的。
38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, after their families, and according to their fathers' houses,
革順子孫被數的，照着家室、宗族，

從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏辦事的，共有二千六百三十名。
40 even those that were numbered of them, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, were two thousand six hundred and thirty.
41 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all that served in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Jehovah.

凡被數的利未人，就是摩西、亞倫並以色列眾首領，照着家室、宗族所數點的，
47 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, every one that came to serve [in] the work of the service, and [in] the work of carrying, in the tent of meeting,
從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏做抬物之工的，共有八千五百八十名。
48 even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand five hundred and eighty.
49 According to the commandment of Jehovah they were numbered by Moses, every one for his service, and for his burden, and numbered by him, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
摩西按他們所辦的事、所抬的物，憑耶和華的吩咐數點他們；他們這樣被摩西數點，正如耶和華所吩咐他的。
