< Numbers 4 >

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
سپس خداوند به موسی و هارون فرمود:
2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
«نسل قهات را که طایفه‌ای از قبیلهٔ لاوی می‌باشند، بشمار.
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.
این سرشماری از تمام مردان سی ساله تا پنجاه ساله که می‌توانند در خیمهٔ ملاقات خدمت کنند به عمل آید.
4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:
«وظایف نسل قهات در خیمۀ ملاقات در خصوص اسبابِ بسیار مقدّس خواهد بود.
5 And when the camp sets forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
وقتی که اردو بخواهد حرکت کند، ابتدا هارون و پسرانش باید به خیمهٔ عبادت داخل شوند و پردهٔ داخلی را پایین آورده، صندوق عهد را با آن بپوشانند.
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.
سپس پرده را با پوست بز پوشانیده، یک پارچهٔ آبی رنگ روی پوست بز بکشند و چوبهای حامل صندوق عهد را در حلقه‌های خود قرار دهند.
7 And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover likewise: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
«بعد ایشان باید یک پارچهٔ آبی روی میزی که نان حضور بر آن گذاشته می‌شود کشیده، بشقابها، قاشقها، کاسه‌ها، پیاله‌ها و نان حضور را روی آن پارچه بگذارند.
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.
سپس یک پارچهٔ ارغوانی روی آن کشیده، آنگاه پارچهٔ ارغوانی را با پوست بز بپوشانند و چوبهای حامل میز را در حلقه‌ها جای دهند.
9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his intruments for snuffings, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
«پس از آن باید چراغدان، چراغها، انبرها، سینی‌ها و ظرف روغن زیتون را با پارچهٔ آبی رنگ بپوشانند.
10 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
سپس تمام این اشیاء را در پوست بز پیچیده، بسته را روی یک چهار چوب حامل قرار دهند.
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:
«آنگاه یک پارچهٔ آبی روی مذبح طلایی بکشند و آن را با پوست بز پوشانیده، چوبهای حامل را در حلقه‌های مذبح بگذارند.
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:
کلیهٔ وسایل باقیماندهٔ خیمهٔ عبادت را در یک پارچهٔ آبی پیچیده، آن را با پوست بز بپوشانند و روی چهار چوب حامل بگذارند.
13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:
«خاکستر مذبح را باید دور بریزند و خود مذبح را با یک پارچهٔ ارغوانی بپوشانند.
14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the forks, 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.
تمام وسایل مذبح از قبیل آتشدانها، چنگکها، خاک‌اندازها، کاسه‌ها و ظروف دیگر را باید روی پارچه بگذارند و پوششی از پوست بز روی آنها بکشند. آنگاه چوبهای حامل را در جاهای خود قرار دهند.
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.
وقتی که هارون و پسرانش، کار جمع کردن اسباب قدس و کلیهٔ وسایل آن را تمام کردند، نسل قهات آمده، آنها را بردارند و به هر جایی که اردو کوچ می‌کند ببرند. ولی ایشان نباید به این اشیاء مقدّس دست بزنند مبادا بمیرند، پس وظیفهٔ مقدّس پسران قهات، حمل اشیاء خیمهٔ ملاقات است.
16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertains the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily food 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.
«العازار پسر هارون، مسئول روغن برای روشنایی، بخور خوشبو، هدیهٔ آردی روزانه و روغن تدهین باشد. در واقع، نظارت بر تمامی خیمهٔ عبادت و هر چه که در آن است به عهدهٔ او خواهد بود.»
17 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,
سپس خداوند به موسی و هارون فرمود:
18 Cut all of you not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
«مواظب باشید طایفۀ قهاتیان از میان لاویان منقطع نشوند.
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:
آنچه باید بکنید تا ایشان به هنگام حمل مقدّسترین اشیاء خیمۀ عبادت نمیرند، این است: هارون و پسرانش با ایشان داخل خیمۀ عبادت شده، آنچه را که هر یک از آنان باید حمل کنند به ایشان نشان دهند.
20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
در غیر این صورت، ایشان نباید هرگز حتی برای یک لحظه داخل قدس بشوند، مبادا به اشیاء مقدّس آنجا نگاه کرده بمیرند.»
21 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
خداوند به موسی فرمود:
22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;
«افراد خاندانها و طایفه‌های جرشون از قبیلۀ لاوی را سرشماری کن.
23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shall you number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
همۀ مردان سی ساله و بالاتر تا پنجاه ساله را که می‌توانند در خیمهٔ ملاقات خدمت کنند، بشمار.
24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:
وظایف ایشان از این قرار است:
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,
«حمل پرده‌های خیمهٔ ملاقات، خود خیمه با پوششهای آن، پوشش پوست بز بالای آن، پردهٔ مدخل خیمه،
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.
حمل پرده‌های دیوار حیاط و پردهٔ مدخل حیاطی که در اطراف مذبح و خیمهٔ عبادت است، به اضافهٔ حمل طنابها و تمام لوازم دیگر. ایشان مسئول حمل و نقل این اشیاء هستند.
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 all of you shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
هارون و پسران او، این خدمتها را برای جرشونی‌ها تعیین خواهند نمود.
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.
این است خدمت جرشونی‌ها در خیمۀ ملاقات؛ و ایتامار پسر هارون بر کار آنها نظارت خواهد کرد.»
29 As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;
«حال افراد طایفه‌ها و خاندانهای مِراری از قبیلۀ لاوی را سرشماری کن.
30 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shall you number them, every one that enters into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.
همۀ مردان سی ساله و بالاتر تا پنجاه ساله را که می‌توانند در خیمهٔ ملاقات خدمت کنند، بشمار.
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,
هنگام حمل و نقل خیمهٔ ملاقات، ایشان باید چوب‌بست خیمه، پشت‌بندها، ستونها، پایه‌ها،
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 all of you shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.
ستونهای اطراف حیاط با پایه‌ها، میخها، طنابها و هر چیز دیگری را که مربوط به استفاده و تعمیر آنها باشد، حمل کنند. «وظیفهٔ هر کس را با ذکر اسم، به او گوشزد نما.
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.
مردان مراری نیز باید تحت نظر ایتامار پسر هارون در خیمۀ ملاقات انجام وظیفه کنند.»
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,
پس موسی و هارون و رهبران دیگر، طایفهٔ قهات را برحسب طایفه‌ها و خاندانهایشان سرشماری کردند.
35 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that enters into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation:
مردان سی ساله تا پنجاه ساله که می‌توانستند در خیمۀ ملاقات خدمت کنند
36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
۲٬۷۵۰ نفر بودند.
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 the LORD by the hand of Moses.
این بود کل افراد طایفه‌های قهاتی که در خیمۀ ملاقات خدمت می‌کردند. آنها بر اساس دستوری که خداوند به موسی داده بود، به دست موسی و هارون شمارش شدند.

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,
به این طریق موسی و هارون و رهبران قوم اسرائیل، تمام لاویان سی ساله تا پنجاه ساله را که قادر به خدمت و حمل و نقل خیمهٔ ملاقات بودند، شمردند. جمع کل آنها ۸٬۵۸۰ نفر بود.
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.

این سرشماری بر اساس دستوری که خداوند به موسی داده بود، صورت گرفت.
