Numbers 4

1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,

١ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ:

2 “Register the descendants of Kohath from the tribe of Levi, according to their family and father's line.

٢ «أَحْصِيَا بَنِي قَهَاتَ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

3 Count men aged thirty to fifty—all who are entitled to do the work of serving in the Tent of Meeting.

٣ مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً حَتَّى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ لِخِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

4 This work that they are to do in the Tent of Meetings involves the things that are most holy.

٤ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الْخِدْمَةُ الَّتِي تُوْكَلُ إِلَى بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ: قُدْسُ الأَقْدَاسِ.

5 Whenever you move camp, Aaron and his sons will go in, take down the veil, and place it over the Ark of the Testimony.

٥ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ الرَّحِيلِ، يَأْتِي هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ وَيُنْزِلُونَ الحِجَابَ الْفَاصِلَ، وَيُغَطُّونَ بِهِ تَابُوتَ الشَّهَادَةِ،

6 On top of this they are to put a fine leather covering, spread a cloth of solid blue over it, and then insert its carrying poles.

٦ وَيَضَعُونَ فَوْقَهُ غِطَاءً مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَيَبْسُطُونَ فَوْقَهُ ثَوْباً مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ ثُمَّ يَضَعُونَ عِصِيَّهُ فِي حَلَقَاتِهَا.

7 Have them spread a blue cloth over the table of the Presence as well, and put the plates and cups on it, as well as the bowls and jugs for the drink offering. The current bread offering is to stay on it.

٧ وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ خُبْزِ الْوُجُوهِ ثَوْباً مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ وَيَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهِ الصِّحَافَ وَالصُّحُونَ وَالْكُئوسَ وَالأَبَارِيقَ الَّتِي تُسْكَبُ بِها الْقَرَابِينُ، وَيَكُونُ الْخُبْزُ الدَّائِمُ مَوْجُوداً عَلَيْهِ،

8 Over everything they are to spread a crimson cloth, next a fine leather covering, and then insert its carrying poles.

٨ ثُمَّ يُغَطُّونَهَا بِثَوْبٍ أَحْمَرِ اللَّوْنِ وَيَضَعُونَ فَوْقَهَا غِطَاءً مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ وَيُدْخِلُونَ عِصِيَّهَا فِي حَلَقَاتِهَا.

9 Using a blue cloth, they are to cover the lampstand of light, together with its lamps, wick tongs, and trays, as well as the jars of olive oil used to fill them.

٩ وَيُغَطُّونَ أَيْضاً الْمَنَارَةَ وَسُرُجَهَا وَمَلاقِطَهَا وَمَنَافِضَهَا، وَسَائِرَ آنِيَةِ زَيْتِهَا الَّتِي يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهَا، بِثَوْبٍ أَزْرَقَ.

10 Then have them wrap it together with all its utensils inside a fine leather covering and place it on the carrying frame.

١٠ وَيَلُفُّونَهَا مَعَ جَمِيعِ أَوَانِيهَا بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَيَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى حَمَّالَةٍ.

11 They are to spread a blue cloth over the gold altar, cover it with fine leather, and then insert its carrying poles.

١١ وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ الذَّهَبِ ثَوْباً أَزْرَقَ وَيُغَطُّونَهُ بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَيُدْخِلُونَ عِصِيَّهُ فِي حَلَقَاتِهِ.

12 They are to place all the utensils used for the service in the sanctuary in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and place them on the carrying frame.

١٢ وَكَذَلِكَ يَلُفُّونَ جَمِيعَ أَوَانِي الْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهَا فِي الْقُدْسِ بِثَوْبٍ أَزْرَقَ وَيُغَطُّونَهَا بِغِطَاءٍ مِنَ الدَّلْفِينِ وَيَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى حَمَّالَةٍ

13 Have them clean the ashes from the bronze altar and spread a purple cloth over it,

١٣ وَيَرْفَعُونَ رَمَادَ الْمَذْبَحِ وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْباً مِنْ قُمَاشٍ بَنَفْسَجِيٍّ،

14 and put on it all the equipment used in the services on the altar: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. Spread over it a fine leather covering and then insert its carrying poles.

١٤ وَيَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعَ أَوَانِيهِ الَّتِي يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهَا، الْمَجَامِرَ وَالْمَنَاشِلَ وَالرُّفُوشَ وَالْمَنَاضِحَ، كُلَّ أَوَانِي الْمَذْبَحِ، وَيُغَطُّونَهُ بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُونَ عِصِيَّهُ فِي حَلَقَاتِهِ.

15 Once Aaron and his sons have finished covering these holy things and all the equipment connected with them, when the camp is ready to move, the priests of the Kohath family are to come and carry them. But they are forbidden to touch anything holy, otherwise they'll die. These are their responsibilities for moving the Tent of Meeting.

١٥ وَحَالَمَا يَنْتَهِي هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ مِنْ تَغْطِيَةِ الْقُدْسِ وَجَمِيعِ آنِيَتِهِ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ ارْتِحَالِ الْمُخَيَّمِ، يُقْبِلُ بَنُو قَهَاتَ لِيَحْمِلُوهَا. وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاهُمْ أَنْ يَمَسُّوا الأَشْيَاءَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ لِئَلّا يَمُوتُوا. هَذِهِ هِيَ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي حَمْلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

16 Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, is to supervise obtaining olive oil for the lamps, the aromatic incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He is in charge of the whole Tabernacle and everything in it—all the holy things and equipment.”

١٦ وَيَكُونُ أَلِعَازَارُ بْنُ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ مَسْؤولاً عَنْ زَيْتِ الإِنَارَةِ، وَعَنِ الْبَخُورِ الْعَطِرِ، وَتَقْدِمَةِ الدَّقِيقِ الْيَوْمِيَّةِ وَدُهْنِ الْمَسْحَةِ وَعَنْ سَائِرِ الْمَسْكَنِ وَمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُدْسِ وَأَوَانِيهِ».

17 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,

١٧ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ:

18 “Make sure the families of Kohath are not wiped out from the Levites.

١٨ «احْرِصَا أَلّا يَنْقَرِضَ فَرْعُ عَشَائِرِ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ اللّاوِيِّينَ،

19 This is what you have to do so that they'll live and won't die by getting too close to something holy. Aaron and his sons must go in and tell each of them what they have to do and what they have to carry.

١٩ بَلِ اعْمَلا هَذَا التَّرْتِيبَ فَيَعِيشُوا وَلا يَمُوتُوا عِنْدَ اقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ. يَدْخُلُ مَعَهُمْ هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ وَيُعَيِّنُونَ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ خِدْمَتَهُ وَحِمْلَهُ.

20 But they must not to go in and look at the things that are most holy, even for just a moment, otherwise they'll die.”

٢٠ وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاهُمْ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا لِمُشَاهَدَةِ الْقُدْسِ وَلَوْ لِلَحْظَةٍ، لِئَلّا يَهْلِكُوا».

21 The Lord told Moses,

٢١ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

22 “Register the descendants of Gershon, according to their family and father's line

٢٢ «أَحْصِ عَدَدَ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ أَيْضاً حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ وَعَشَائِرِهِمْ،

23 Count men aged thirty to fifty—all who are entitled to do the work of serving in the Tent of Meeting.

٢٣ مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ حَتَّى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

24 This is how the families of Gershon will serve in terms of working and carrying:

٢٤ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الخَدَمَاتُ الَّتِي تُوْكَلُ إِلَى عَشَائِرِ الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ وَحَمْلٍ:

25 Have them carry the Tabernacle curtains, the Tent of Meeting with its fine leather covering, the curtains for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,

٢٥ يَحْمِلُونَ شُقَقَ الْمَسْكَنِ وَخَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَغِطَاءَهَا وَغِطَاءَ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ الَّذِي فَوْقَهَا، وَسِتَارَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

26 the courtyard curtains, the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard surrounding the Tabernacle and altar, the ropes, and everything connected with their use. The families of Gershon are responsible for everything required involving these items.

٢٦ وَأَسْتَارَ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِالْمَسْكَنِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ، وَسِتَارَةَ الْمَدْخَلِ وَالْحِبَالَ وَالأَوَانِي الْمُسْتَخْدَمَةَ فِي خِدْمَتِهَا. وَيُؤَدِّي الْجَرْشُونِيُّونَ جَمِيعَ الْخِدْمَاتِ الْوَاجِبَةِ لَهَا.

27 All that they do is to be under the supervision of Aaron and his sons—all their work and carrying assignments. You are to tell them all they are required to carry.

٢٧ وَيَجِبُ أَنْ يَقُومُوا بِخِدْمَتِهِمْ، سَوَاءٌ أَكَانَتْ خِدْمَةَ نَقْلٍ أَمْ أَيَّ عَمَلٍ آخَرَ، تَحْتَ إِشْرَافِ هَرُونَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ. وَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُعَيِّنَ لَهُمْ مَا يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَمْلُهُ.

28 These are their responsibilities for moving the Tent of Meeting, carried out under the direction of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

٢٨ هَذِهِ هِيَ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ عَشَائِرِ الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَيَكُونُ إِيثَامَارُ بْنُ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ هُوَ الْمُشْرِفُ عَلَى تَأْدِيَةِ وَاجِبَاتِهِمْ.

29 Register the descendants of Merari, according to their family and father's line.

٢٩ وَتُحْصِي بَنِي مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

30 Count men aged thirty to fifty—all who are entitled to do the work of serving in the Tent of Meeting.

٣٠ مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ حَتَّى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

31 This is how they will serve in handling the Tent of Meeting: they are to carry the frames of the Tabernacle with its crossbars, posts, and stands,

٣١ وَتَكُونُ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ خِدْمَتِهِمْ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ نَقْلَ أَلْوَاحِ الْمَسْكَنِ وَعَوَارِضِهِ وَأَعْمِدَتِهِ وَقَوَاعِدِهِ،

32 the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their stands, tent pegs, and ropes, all their equipment and everything connected with their use. You are to tell them by name what they are responsible for carrying.

٣٢ وَأَعْمِدَةِ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ وَقَوَاعِدِهَا وَأَوْتَادِهَا وَحِبَالِهَا وَأَوَانِيهَا وَكُلِّ مَا يَتَّصِلُ بِخِدْمَتِهَا. وَحَدِّدُوا بِالتَّفْصِيلِ مَا يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ حَمْلُهُ.

33 These are their responsibilities for all their work in moving the Tent of Meeting, carried out under the direction of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.”

٣٣ هَذِهِ هِيَ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ عَشَائِرِ الْمَرَارِيِّينَ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ بِها فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ تَحْتَ إِشْرَافِ إِيثَامَارَ بْنِ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ».

34 Moses, Aaron, and the Israelite leaders registered the families of Kohath according to their family and father's line.

٣٤ فَأَحْصَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الشَّعْبِ جُمْلَةَ أَبْنَاءِ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

38 The families of Gershon were counted, according to their family and father's line,

٣٨ وَتَمَّ إِحْصَاءُ جُمْلَةِ أَبْنَاءِ جَرْشُونَ حَسَب عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

42 The families of Merari were counted, according to their family and father's line,

46 This is how Moses, Aaron, and the Israelite leaders registered all the Levites according to their family and father's line.

٤٦ فَكَانَ مَجْمُوعُ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنَ اللّاوِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ.
