Numbers 1
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first [day] of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
L’Éternel parla en ces termes à Moïse, dans le désert de Sinaï, dans la tente d’assignation, le premier jour du second mois de la deuxième année après leur sortie du pays d’Egypte:
2 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of [their] names, every male by their polls;
"Faites le relevé de toute la communauté des enfants d’Israël, selon leurs familles et leurs maisons paternelles, au moyen d’un recensement nominal de tous les mâles, comptés par tête.
3 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.
Depuis l’âge de vingt ans et au-delà, tous les Israélites aptes au service, vous les classerez selon leurs légions, toi et Aaron.
4 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers.

18 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first [day] of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.
Puis ils convoquèrent toute la communauté, le premier jour du second mois; et on les enregistra selon leurs familles et leurs maisons paternelles, en comptant par noms ceux qui avaient vingt ans et plus, chacun individuellement,
19 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.

Quant aux Lévites, eu égard à leur tribu paternelle, ils ne figurèrent point dans ce dénombrement.
48 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,
Et l’Éternel parla ainsi à Moïse:
49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:
"Pour ce qui est de la tribu de Lévi, tu ne la recenseras ni n’en feras le relevé en la comptant avec les autres enfants d’Israël.
50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that [belong] to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
Mais tu préposeras les Lévites au tabernacle du statut, à tout son attirail et à tout ce qui le concerne: ce sont eux qui porteront le tabernacle et tout son attirail, eux qui en feront le service, et qui doivent camper à l’entour.
51 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
Quand le tabernacle devra partir, ce sont les Lévites qui le démonteront, et quand il devra s’arrêter, ce sont eux qui le dresseront; le profane qui en approcherait serait frappé de mort.
52 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.
Les enfants d’Israël se fixeront chacun dans son camp et chacun sous sa bannière, selon leurs légions;
53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.
et les Lévites camperont autour du tabernacle du statut, afin que la colère divine ne sévisse point sur la communauté des enfants d’Israël; et les Lévites auront sous leur garde le tabernacle du statut."
54 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
Les Israélites obéirent: tout ce que l’Éternel avait ordonné à Moïse, ils s’y conformèrent.
