Numbers 4
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron saying:
上主訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：「
2 Reckon up the sum of the sons of Kohath, out of the midst of the sons of Levi, —by their families by their ancestral house:
你應依照宗族和家系，統計肋未人中的刻哈特子孫，
3 from thirty years old, and upwards, even unto fifty years, —every one that can enter into the host, to do service in the tent of meeting.
由三十歲以上到五十歲，凡應入伍到會幕服務的都要登記。
4 This, shall be the labour of the sons of Kohath, in the tent of meeting, —the most holy things,
刻哈特子孫在會幕內的任務，是管理至聖之物。
5 So then Aaron and his sons shall enter when the camp is to set forward, and take down the screening veil, —and enwrap therein the ark of the testimony;
起營出發時，亞郎和他的兒子應來卸下帳幔，用來包裹約櫃，
6 and put thereon a covering of badgers’ skin, and spread a complete wrapper of blue over above, —and put in the staves thereof.
上面蒙上海豚皮蓋，其上再舖上純紫布，然後安上杠桿。
7 And over the Presence-table, shall they spread a wrapper of blue and put thereon the dishes and the pans and the bowls and the libation cups, the perpetual bread also, thereupon, shall remain;
在供餅桌上，應舖上子布，擺上盤、匙、杯和奠酒的爵；常供餅應仍在桌上。
8 and they shall spread over them a wrapper of crimson, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof.
以後，在這些物件上，蓋上朱紅布，再蒙上海豚皮罩，然後安上杠桿。
9 Then shall they take a wrapper of blue, and cover the light-giving lampstand, and the lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof and the snuff-trays thereof, —and all the oil-vessels, thereof, wherewith they minister thereunto;
此後，拿一塊紫布，包好燈台和燈盞、剪子、碟子，以及為燈台用的一切油具；
10 and shall put the same and all the vessels thereof, within a covering of, badgers’ skin, —and shall put it upon a frame.
將燈台和所有的用具，裝入海豚皮袋內，放在擔架上。
11 And upon the altar of gold, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and shall cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof,
在金祭壇上舖上紫布，再用海豚皮包好，然後安上杠桿。
12 And they shall take all the utensils of attendance wherewith they attend in the sanctuary, and put them within a wrapper of blue, and cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and put them on a frame.
再把聖所內使用的一切用具都拿來，放在紫布袋內，再蒙上海豚皮罩，放在擔架上。
13 Then shall they remove the fat-ashes from the altar, —and spread over it a wrapper of purple;
把祭壇上的灰清除，舖上紫紅布，
14 and put thereupon all the utensils thereof wherewith they minister thereupon—the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks—and the shovels and the tossing-bowls, all the utensils of the altar, —and shall spread over it a covering of badgers’ skin and put in the staves thereof.
上面放上一切用具：火盆。肉叉、鏟子、盤子以及祭壇上的一切用具；其上再蒙上海豚皮罩，然後安上杠桿。
15 So shall Aaron and his sons make an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward, then after that, shall the sons of Kohath enter to bear it, but they must not put forth a touch unto that which, is holy, else should they die, these, shall be the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
亞郎和他的兒子包裝完了聖物和聖所的一切用具，起營出發時，刻哈特的子孫纔來抬，免得他們觸摸聖物而死亡：這是刻哈特的子孫對會幕的職務。
16 But the care of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, [shall be] —the light-giving oil, and the fragrant incense, and the perpetual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the care of all the habitation, and all that is therein, both as to the sanctuary, and as to the furniture thereof.
至於亞郎大司祭的兒子厄肋阿匝爾的任務，是管理燈油、香料、日獻的素祭和為傅禮用的油，並照管全會幕與其中所有的聖物和器具。」
17 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟和亞郎說：「
18 Do not let the tribe of the families of the Kohathites be cut off out of the midst of the Levites.
不要使刻哈特族的一支由肋未人中消滅；
19 This, therefore, do ye for them, so shall they live and not die when they approach the most holy place, —Aaron and his sons shall enter and set them man by man over his labour, and unto his burden;
為使他們接近至聖之物時，生存而不死亡，你們對他們應這樣做：亞郎和他的兒子先來，給他們每人指定各人服役和搬運的工作，
20 but they shall not enter to see, for a moment, that which is holy, else should they die.
免得這些人進去一時見到聖物而遭遇死亡。」
21 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟說：「
22 reckon up the sum of the sons of Gershon even of them also, —by their ancestral house by their families;
你要依照家系和宗族統計革爾雄的子孫，
23 from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shalt thou number them, —All that may enter to take rank in the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting.
由三十歲以上到五十歲，凡應入伍到會幕服務的，都要登記。
24 This, shall be the labour of the families of the Gershonites, —in labouring and in bearing:
革爾雄家族的任務是服役和搬運：
25 they shall bear the curtains of the habitation and the tent of meeting, the covering thereof and the covering of badgers’ skin which is over above it, —and the screen, at the entrance of the tent of meeting;
搬運帳幕的帷幔、會幕和其頂蓬，及其上面蓋的海豚皮和會幕的門簾，
26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court which is near the habitation and near the altar round about, and their cords, and all their articles of service, and all that is to be done to them when they shall do their labour,
庭院的帷幔，圍繞會幕和祭壇庭院的門簾、繩索以及一切為服役用的器具；凡交與他們應作的一切，他們都應執行。
27 At the bidding of Aaron and his sons, shall be all the labour of the sons of the Gershonites, to the extent of their every burden, and to the extent of all their labour, —so shall ye appoint unto them in charge their every burden.
革爾雄人所有的任務，不論是搬運或是服役，應全遵照亞郎和他兒子的吩咐；所以你們應照顧他們搬運一切：
28 This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting, —and, the charge of them, shall be in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.
這是革爾雄人的家族對會幕的任務；他們應在大司祭亞郎的兒子依塔瑪爾指揮下服役。
29 As for the sons of Merari, —by their families by their ancestral house, shall ye number them;
對默辣黎的子孫，你要依照宗族和家系統計他們；
30 from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shall ye number them, —all that enter into the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting,
由三十歲以上到五十歲，凡應入伍到會幕服務的，都要登記。
31 And, this, shall be their charge of the burdens, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof and he pillars thereof and the sockets thereof:
依照他們在會幕內所擔任的職務，應搬運的是：帳幕的木板、橫木、柱子和卯座，
32 and the pillars of the court round about and their sockets and their pins and their cords, to the extent of all their articles, to the extent of all their labour, and by names, shall ye put under their care the articles of their charge of burdens.
庭院四週的柱子、卯座、橛子和繩索，一切用具及服務所需的一切。你們應按名一一指定他們應搬運的物件：
33 This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of Merari, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, —in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron, the priest.
這是默辣黎人的家族，在司祭亞郎的兒子依塔瑪爾指揮下，對會幕應盡的各種職務。」
34 Then did Moses and Aaron, and the princes of the assembly, number the sons of the Kohathites, by their families, and by their ancestral house;
梅瑟和亞郎及會眾的首領，依照宗族和家系統計了刻哈特的子孫，
35 from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting;
由三十歲以上到五十歲，凡應入伍到會幕服務，
36 and they who were numbered of them, by their families, were found to be two thousand, seven hundred and fifty.
依照宗族登計的，共二千七百五十人：
37 These, were they who were num-bered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might labour in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh by the mediation of Moses.
這是刻哈特人的家族，所有在會幕內服務登記的人數，是梅瑟和亞郎依照上主給梅瑟的命令所統計的。
38 And they who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, —by their families, and by their ancestral house;

由三十歲以上到五十歲，凡應入伍到會幕服務管理搬運的，
48 yea, they who were numbered of them were found to be—eight thousand, and five hundred, and eighty.
共計八千五百八十人。
49 At the bidding of Yahweh, were they put in charge by the mediation of Moses, man by man, over his labour and over his burden, —yea, they who were put in charge by him, were they, whom Yahweh commanded Moses.
依照上主藉梅瑟所發的命令，給他們每人指定了各人應盡的職務和應搬運的工作；依照上主對梅瑟所吩咐的，他們都這樣登記了。
