Numbers 4

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

١ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا:

2 “Take a census of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the sons of Levi, by their families, by the house of their fathers;

٢ «خُذْ عَدَدَ بَنِي قَهَاتَ مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي لَاوِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

3 from a son of thirty years and upward, even until a son of fifty years, everyone going in to the host, to do work in the Tent of Meeting.

٣ مِنِ ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، كُلِّ دَاخِلٍ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ لِيَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

4 This [is] the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting [for] the most holy things:

٤ هَذِهِ خِدْمَةُ بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ: قُدْسُ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ.

5 when Aaron and his sons have come in, in the journeying of the camp, and have taken down the veil of the hanging, and have covered the Ark of the Testimony with it,

٥ يَأْتِي هَارُونُ وَبَنُوهُ عِنْدَ ٱرْتِحَالِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ وَيُنَزِّلُونَ حِجَابَ ٱلسَّجْفِ وَيُغَطُّونَ بِهِ تَابُوتَ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ،

6 then they have put a covering of tachash skin on it, and have spread a garment completely of blue above, and have placed its poles.

٦ وَيَجْعَلُونَ عَلَيْهِ غِطَاءً مِنْ جِلْدِ تُخَسٍ، وَيَبْسُطُونَ مِنْ فَوْقُ ثَوْبًا كُلُّهُ أَسْمَانْجُونِيٌّ، وَيَضَعُونَ عِصِيَّهُ.

7 And they spread a garment of blue over the table of the presence, and have put the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and the cups of the drink-offering on it, and the bread of continuity is on it,

٧ وَعَلَى مَائِدَةِ ٱلْوُجُوهِ يَبْسُطُونَ ثَوْبَ أَسْمَانْجُونٍ، وَيَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلصِّحَافَ وَٱلصُّحُونَ وَٱلْأَقْدَاحَ وَكَاسَاتِ ٱلسَّكِيبِ، وَيَكُونُ ٱلْخُبْزُ ٱلدَّائِمُ عَلَيْهِ،

8 and they have spread a garment of scarlet over them, and have covered it with a covering of tachash skin, and have placed its poles,

٨ وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَيْهَا ثَوْبَ قِرْمِزٍ وَيُغَطُّونَهُ بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ تُخَسٍ وَيَضَعُونَ عِصِيَّهُ.

9 and have taken a garment of blue, and have covered the lampstand of the lamp, and its lights, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, and all its oil vessels with which they minister to it;

٩ وَيَأْخُذُونَ ثَوْبَ أَسْمَانْجُونٍ وَيُغَطُّونَ مَنَارَةَ ٱلضَّوْءِ وَسُرُجَهَا وَمَلَاقِطَهَا وَمَنَافِضَهَا وَجَمِيعَ آنِيَةِ زَيْتِهَا ٱلَّتِي يَخْدِمُونَهَا بِهَا.

10 and they have put it and all its vessels into a covering of tachash skin, and have put [it] on the bar.

١٠ وَيَجْعَلُونَهَا وَجَمِيعَ آنِيَتَهَا فِي غِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ تُخَسٍ، وَيَجْعَلُونَهُ عَلَى ٱلْعَتَلَةِ.

11 And they spread a garment of blue over the golden altar, and have covered it with a covering of tachash skin, and have placed its poles,

١١ وَعَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلذَّهَبِ يَبْسُطُونَ ثَوْبَ أَسْمَانْجُونٍ، وَيُغَطُّونَهُ بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ تُخَسٍ وَيَضَعُونَ عِصِيَّهُ.

12 and have taken all the vessels of ministry with which they minister in the holy place, and have put [them] into a garment of blue, and have covered them with a covering of tachash skin, and have put [them] on the bar,

١٢ وَيَأْخُذُونَ جَمِيعَ أَمْتِعَةِ ٱلْخِدْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَا فِي ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَيَجْعَلُونَهَا فِي ثَوْبِ أَسْمَانْجُونٍ وَيُغَطُّونَهَا بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ تُخَسٍ، وَيَجْعَلُونَهَا عَلَى ٱلْعَتَلَةِ.

13 and have removed the ashes of the altar, and have spread a garment of purple over it,

١٣ وَيَرْفَعُونَ رَمَادَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَ أُرْجُوانٍ،

14 and have put on it all its vessels with which they minister on it—the censers, the hooks, and the shovels, and the bowls, all the vessels of the altar—and have spread a covering of tachash skin on it, and have placed its poles.

١٤ وَيَجْعَلُونَ عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعَ أَمْتِعَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي يَخْدِمُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا: ٱلْمَجَامِرَ وَٱلْمَنَاشِلَ وَٱلرُّفُوشَ وَٱلْمَنَاضِحَ، كُلَّ أَمْتِعَةِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَيْهِ غِطَاءً مِنْ جِلْدِ تُخَسٍ، وَيَضَعُونَ عِصِيَّهُ.

15 And Aaron has finished—his sons also—covering the holy place, and all the vessels of the holy place, in the journeying of the camp, and afterward the sons of Kohath come in to carry [it], and they do not come to the holy thing, lest they have died; these [things are] the burden of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting.

١٥ وَمَتَى فَرَغَ هَارُونُ وَبَنُوهُ مِنْ تَغْطِيَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَجَمِيعِ أَمْتِعَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ عِنْدَ ٱرْتِحَالِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، يَأْتِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَنُو قَهَاتَ لِلْحَمْلِ وَلَكِنْ لَا يَمَسُّوا ٱلْقُدْسَ لِئَلَّا يَمُوتُوا. ذَلِكَ حِمْلُ بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

16 And the oversight of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, [is] the oil of the lamp, and the spice-incense, and the present of continuity, and the anointing oil, the oversight of all the Dwelling Place and of all that [is] in it, in the sanctuary and in its vessels.”

١٦ وَوِكَالَةُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ هِيَ زَيْتُ ٱلضَّوْءِ وَٱلْبَخُورُ ٱلْعَطِرُ وَٱلتَّقْدِمَةُ ٱلدَّائِمَةُ وَدُهْنُ ٱلْمَسْحَةِ، وَوِكَالَةُ كُلِّ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ وَكُلِّ مَا فِيهِ بِٱلْقُدْسِ وَأَمْتِعَتِهِ».

17 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

١٧ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا:

18 “You do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathite from the midst of the Levites;

١٨ «لَا تَقْرِضَا سِبْطَ عَشَائِرِ ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ،

19 but do this for them, and they have lived and do not die in their drawing near [to] the Holy of Holies: Aaron and his sons go in, and have set them, each man to his service, and to his burden,

١٩ بَلِ ٱفْعَلَا لَهُمْ هَذَا فَيَعِيشُوا وَلَا يَمُوتُوا عِنْدَ ٱقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى قُدْسِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ: يَدْخُلُ هَارُونُ وَبَنُوهُ وَيُقِيمُونَهُمْ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ وَحِمْلِهِ.

20 and they do not go in to see when the holy thing is swallowed, lest they have died.”

٢٠ وَلَا يَدْخُلُوا لِيَرَوْا ٱلْقُدْسَ لَحْظَةً لِئَلَّا يَمُوتُوا».

21 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

٢١ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

22 “Also take a census of the sons of Gershon by the house of their fathers, by their families;

٢٢ «خُذْ عَدَدَ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ أَيْضًا حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ وَعَشَائِرِهِمْ،

23 from a son of thirty years and upward, until a son of fifty years, you number them—everyone who is going in to serve the host, to do the service in the Tent of Meeting.

٢٣ مِنِ ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً تَعُدُّهُمْ، كُلَّ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ لِيَتَجَنَّدُوا أَجْنَادًا، لِيَخْدِمُوا خِدْمَةً فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

24 This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonite, to serve and for burden:

٢٤ هَذِهِ خِدْمَةُ عَشَائِرِ ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ مِنَ ٱلْخِدْمَةِ وَٱلْحِمْلِ:

25 and they have carried the curtains of the Dwelling Place, and the Tent of Meeting, its covering, and the covering of the tachash [skin] which [is] on it above, and the veil at the opening of the Tent of Meeting,

٢٥ يَحْمِلُونَ شُقَقَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، وَخَيْمَةَ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ وَغِطَاءَهَا، وَغِطَاءَ ٱلتُّخَسِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهَا مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَسَجْفَ بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ،

26 and the hangings of the court, and the veil at the opening of the gate of the court which [is] by the Dwelling Place, and by the altar all around, and their cords, and all the vessels of their service, and all that is made for them—and they have served.

٢٦ وَأَسْتَارَ ٱلدَّارِ وَسَجْفَ مَدْخَلِ بَابِ ٱلدَّارِ ٱللَّوَاتِي حَوْلَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ وَحَوْلَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ مُحِيطَةً، وَأَطْنَابَهُنَّ وَكُلَّ أَمْتِعَةِ خِدْمَتِهِنَّ. وَكُلُّ مَا يُعْمَلُ لَهُنَّ فَهُمْ يَصْنَعُونَهُ،

27 By the command of Aaron and his sons is all the service of the sons of the Gershonite, in all their burden and in all their service; and you have laid a charge on them concerning the charge of all their burden.

٢٧ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ تَكُونُ جَمِيعُ خِدْمَةِ بَنِي ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ مِنْ كُلِّ حَمْلِهِمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ خِدْمَتِهِمْ. وَتُوَكِّلُهُمْ بِحِرَاسَةِ كُلِّ أَحْمَالِهِمْ.

28 This [is] the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonite in the Tent of Meeting; and their charge [is] under the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

٢٨ هَذِهِ خِدْمَةُ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَحِرَاسَتُهُمْ بِيَدِ إِيثَامَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلكَاهِنِ.

29 The sons of Merari, by their families, by the house of their fathers—you number them;

٢٩ «بَنُو مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ تَعُدُّهُمْ،

30 from a son of thirty years and upward even to a son of fifty years, you number them—everyone who is going in to the host, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting.

٣٠ مِنِ ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً تَعُدُّهُمْ، كُلَّ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ لِيَخْدِمُوا خِدْمَةَ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

31 And this [is] the charge of their burden, of all their service in the Tent of Meeting: the boards of the Dwelling Place, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,

٣١ وَهَذِهِ حِرَاسَةُ حَمْلِهِمْ وَكُلُّ خِدْمَتِهِمْ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ: أَلْوَاحُ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ وَعَوَارِضُهُ وَأَعْمِدَتُهُ وَفُرَضُهُ،

32 and the pillars of the court all around, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, of all their vessels, and of all their service; and you number the vessels of the charge of their burden by name.

٣٢ وَأَعْمِدَةُ ٱلدَّارِ حَوَالَيْهَا وَفُرَضُهَا وَأَوْتَادُهَا وَأَطْنَابُهَا مَعَ كُلِّ أَمْتِعَتِهَا وَكُلِّ خِدْمَتِهَا. وَبِٱلْأَسْمَاءِ تَعُدُّونَ أَمْتِعَةَ حِرَاسَةِ حَمْلِهِمْ.

33 This [is] the service of the families of the sons of Merari, for all their service, in the Tent of Meeting, by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”

٣٣ هَذِهِ خِدْمَةُ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي مَرَارِي. كُلُّ خِدْمَتِهِمْ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ بِيَدِ إِيثَامَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ».

34 And Moses numbers—Aaron also, and the princes of the congregation—the sons of the Kohathite, by their families, and by the house of their fathers,

٣٤ فَعَدَّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ بَنِي ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

35 from a son of thirty years and upward even to a son of fifty years, everyone who is going in to the host, for service in the Tent of Meeting,

٣٥ مِنِ ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، كُلَّ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ لِلْخِدْمَةِ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

36 and their numbered ones, by their families, are two thousand seven hundred and fifty.

٣٦ فَكَانَ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ أَلْفَيْنِ وَسَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ.

37 These [are] those numbered of the families of the Kohathite, everyone who is serving in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by the command of YHWH, by the hand of Moses.

٣٧ هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ، كُلُّ ٱلْخَادِمِينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى.

38 And those numbered of the sons of Gershon, by their families, and by the house of their fathers,

٣٨ وَٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

39 from a son of thirty years and upward even to a son of fifty years, everyone who is going in to the host, for service in the Tent of Meeting,

٣٩ مِنِ ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، كُلُّ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ لِلْخِدْمَةِ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

40 even their numbered ones, by their families, by the house of their fathers, are two thousand and six hundred and thirty.

٤٠ كَانَ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ أَلْفَيْنِ وَسِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ.

41 These [are] those numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, everyone who is serving in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by the command of YHWH.

٤١ هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ، كُلُّ ٱلْخَادِمِينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

42 And those numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by the house of their fathers,

٤٢ وَٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

43 from a son of thirty years and upward even to a son of fifty years, everyone who is going in to the host, for service in the Tent of Meeting,

٤٣ مِنِ ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، كُلُّ ٱلدَّاخِلْينَ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ لِلْخِدْمَةِ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

44 even their numbered ones, by their families, are three thousand and two hundred.

٤٤ كَانَ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ وَمِئَتَيْنِ.

45 These [are] those numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by the command of YHWH, by the hand of Moses.

٤٥ هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي مَرَارِي ٱلَّذِينَ عَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى.

46 All those numbered, whom Moses numbered—Aaron also, and the princes of Israel—of the Levites, by their families, and by the house of their fathers,

٤٦ جَمِيعُ ٱلْمَعْدُودِينَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

47 from a son of thirty years and upward even to a son of fifty years, everyone who is going in to do the work of the service, even the service of burden in the Tent of Meeting,

٤٧ مِنِ ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، كُلُّ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ لِيَعْمَلُوا عَمَلَ ٱلْخِدْمَةِ وَعَمَلَ ٱلْحَمْلِ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

48 even their numbered ones are eight thousand and five hundred and eighty;

٤٨ كَانَ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ ثَمَانِيَةَ آلَافٍ وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِينَ.

49 he has numbered them by the command of YHWH, by the hand of Moses, each man by his service, and by his burden, with his numbered ones, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

٤٩ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى عُدَّ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ وَعَلَى حَمْلِهِ، ٱلَّذِينَ عَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ.
