Numbers 4
1 And Yhwh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
TUHAN menyuruh Musa dan Harun
2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
mengadakan sensus orang Lewi dari kaum Kehat menurut keluarga masing-masing,
3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
lalu mencatat nama semua orang laki-laki yang berumur tiga puluh sampai lima puluh tahun, yang mampu melakukan wajib kerja di Kemah TUHAN.
4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:
Pekerjaan mereka ialah mengurus barang-barang yang mahasuci.
5 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
TUHAN memberi kepada Musa peraturan ini: Kalau sudah waktunya membongkar perkemahan, Harun dan anak-anaknya harus masuk ke Kemah TUHAN, menurunkan tirai di depan Peti Perjanjian, dan menutupi Peti itu dengan kain itu.
6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers’ skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
Sesudahnya, mereka harus menutupinya lagi dengan sehelai kulit halus, lalu membentangkan sehelai kain biru di atasnya, dan memasang kayu pengusung Peti itu.
7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
Mereka harus membentangkan sehelai kain biru di atas meja tempat roti sajian untuk TUHAN, dan di atas meja itu harus mereka letakkan pinggan, baki tempat dupa, baki tempat persembahan, dan kendi untuk persembahan air anggur. Roti sajian harus selalu ada di meja itu.
8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.
Mereka harus menutupi semuanya itu dengan sehelai kain merah, lalu membentangkan sehelai kulit halus di atasnya, dan memasang kayu pengusung meja itu.
9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the lampstand of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
Mereka harus mengambil sehelai kain biru dan menutupi kaki lampu serta lampu-lampunya, alat untuk membersihkan sumbu pelita dan penadahnya, dan semua tempat minyak zaitun.
10 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
Kaki lampu dan seluruh perlengkapannya harus mereka bungkus dengan sehelai kulit halus lalu menaruhnya di atas tempat pengusungan.
11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put to the staves thereof:
Sesudah itu mereka harus membentangkan sehelai kain biru di atas mezbah dari emas itu, dan menutupinya dengan sehelai kulit halus, lalu memasang kayu pengusung mezbah itu.
12 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put them on a bar:
Segala peralatan yang dipakai di dalam Ruang Suci harus mereka ambil dan bungkus dengan sehelai kain biru. Lalu mereka harus menutupinya dengan sehelai kulit halus, dan menaruhnya di atas usungan.
13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:
Mereka harus membersihkan mezbah itu dari abu, lalu membentangkan sehelai kain ungu di atasnya.
14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers’ skins, and put to the staves of it.
Dan di atas itu harus mereka letakkan semua peralatan yang dipakai dalam ibadat pada mezbah itu: tempat api, garpu, penyodok, dan baskom. Lalu mereka harus menutupi semuanya itu dengan sehelai kulit halus dan memasang kayu pengusungnya.
15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun, "Pada waktu kamu membongkar perkemahan, Harun dan anak-anaknya harus masuk ke dalam Kemah-Ku dan menutupi semua barang dan perlengkapan yang ada di situ. Baru sesudah itu, orang-orang Kehat boleh datang untuk memikulnya. Tetapi mereka tak boleh melihat, mendekati atau menyentuh benda-benda itu, karena sudah dikhususkan untuk-Ku. Kalau mereka melakukannya juga, mereka akan mati. Jadi, supaya orang-orang Kehat itu jangan terhapus dari suku Lewi, Harun dan anak-anaknya harus menugaskan masing-masing di antara mereka apa yang harus mereka bawa. Itulah tugas orang Kehat pada waktu Kemah-Ku dipindahkan. Eleazar, anak Harun, bertanggung jawab atas seluruh Kemah-Ku, minyak lampu, dupa, kurban gandum untuk sajian tetap, minyak upacara dan semua yang ada di dalam Kemah-Ku itu."
16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
17 And Yhwh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
19 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:
20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
21 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
TUHAN menyuruh Musa
22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;
mengadakan sensus orang Lewi dari kaum Gerson menurut keluarga masing-masing.
23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
Musa harus mencatat nama semua orang laki-laki yang berumur tiga puluh sampai lima puluh tahun yang mampu melakukan wajib kerja di Kemah TUHAN.
24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:
Mereka ditugaskan untuk mengangkut barang-barang ini:
25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers’ skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
Kain tenda Kemah itu dengan tutupnya bagian dalam dan bagian luar dari kulit halus, kain di pintu Kemah,
26 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve.
layar-layar dan tali temalinya untuk pelataran di sekitar Kemah dan mezbah, kain di gerbang pelataran, dan semua perlengkapan yang dipakai untuk memasang semua benda itu. Mereka bertanggung jawab atas semua pekerjaan yang berhubungan dengan barang-barang itu.
27 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
Musa dan Harun harus mengawasi supaya pekerjaan yang diserahkan Harun dan anak-anaknya kepada orang-orang Gerson itu dilaksanakan, dan semua barang yang harus diangkut, agar diangkut.
28 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Itulah tugas orang-orang Gerson di dalam Kemah; tugas-tugas itu harus dilaksanakan di bawah pimpinan Itamar, anak Imam Harun.
29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;
TUHAN menyuruh Musa mengadakan sensus orang Lewi dari kaum Merari menurut keluarga masing-masing.
30 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Musa harus mencatat nama semua orang laki-laki yang berumur tiga puluh sampai lima puluh tahun yang mampu melakukan wajib kerja di Kemah TUHAN.
31 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,
Mereka ditugaskan untuk mengangkut rangka-rangka Kemah itu, balok-baloknya, tiang-tiangnya dan alasnya.
32 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.
Juga tiang-tiang pelataran sekeliling Kemah itu serta alasnya, patok-patoknya dan tali temalinya dengan segala perkakas yang diperlukan untuk menegakkannya. Setiap orang ditugaskan membawa barang-barang tertentu.
33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Itulah tugas-tugas kaum Merari; semua pekerjaan mereka di Kemah TUHAN harus dilakukan di bawah pimpinan Itamar, anak Imam Harun.
34 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
Sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN, Musa, Harun dan para pemimpin umat mengadakan sensus dari ketiga kaum dalam suku Lewi, yaitu Kehat, Gerson dan Merari. Mereka melakukan sensus itu keluarga demi keluarga. Mereka mencatat nama semua orang laki-laki yang berumur tiga puluh sampai lima puluh tahun yang mampu melakukan tugas wajib kerja di Kemah TUHAN. Inilah hasilnya: (Kaum-Jumlah orang), Kehat-2.750, Gerson-2.630, Merari-3.200; Seluruhnya: 8.580.
35 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation:
36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
37 These were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of Yhwh by the hand of Moses.
38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,
39 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
40 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty.
41 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of Yhwh.

45 These be those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of Yhwh by the hand of Moses.
46 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
47 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation,
48 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore.
49 According to the commandment of Yhwh they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as Yhwh commanded Moses.
Atas perintah TUHAN melalui Musa, setiap orang didaftarkan dan diberi tanggung jawabnya masing-masing atas apa yang harus dilayaninya atau apa yang harus dipikulnya.
