Numbers 4
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron saying:
耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說：
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:
「你從利未人中，將哥轄子孫的總數，照他們的家室、宗族，
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.
從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏辦事的，全都計算。
4 This, shall be the labour of the sons of Kohath, in the tent of meeting, —the most holy things,
哥轄子孫在會幕搬運至聖之物，所辦的事乃是這樣：
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;
起營的時候，亞倫和他兒子要進去摘下遮掩櫃的幔子，用以蒙蓋法櫃，
6 and put thereon a covering of badgers’ skin, and spread a complete wrapper of blue over above, —and put in the staves thereof.
又用海狗皮蓋在上頭，再蒙上純藍色的毯子，把槓穿上。
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;
又用藍色毯子鋪在陳設餅的桌子上，將盤子、調羹、奠酒的爵，和杯擺在上頭。桌子上也必有常設的餅。
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.
在其上又要蒙朱紅色的毯子，再蒙上海狗皮，把槓穿上。
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;
要拿藍色毯子，把燈臺和燈臺上所用的燈盞、剪子、蠟花盤，並一切盛油的器皿，全都遮蓋。
10 and shall put the same and all the vessels thereof, within a covering of, badgers’ skin, —and shall put it upon a frame.
又要把燈臺和燈臺的一切器具包在海狗皮裏，放在抬架上。
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,
在金壇上要鋪藍色毯子，蒙上海狗皮，把槓穿上。
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.
又要把聖所用的一切器具包在藍色毯子裏，用海狗皮蒙上，放在抬架上。
13 Then shall they remove the fat-ashes from the altar, —and spread over it a wrapper of purple;
要收去壇上的灰，把紫色毯子鋪在壇上；
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.
又要把所用的一切器具，就是火鼎、肉鍤子、鏟子、盤子，一切屬壇的器具都擺在壇上，又蒙上海狗皮，把槓穿上。
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.
將要起營的時候，亞倫和他兒子把聖所和聖所的一切器具遮蓋完了，哥轄的子孫就要來抬，只是不可摸聖物，免得他們死亡。會幕裏這些物件是哥轄子孫所當抬的。
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.
「祭司亞倫的兒子以利亞撒所要看守的是點燈的油與香料，並當獻的素祭和膏油，也要看守全帳幕與其中所有的，並聖所和聖所的器具。」
17 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說：
18 Do not let the tribe of the families of the Kohathites be cut off out of the midst of the Levites.
「你們不可將哥轄人的支派從利未人中剪除。
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;
他們挨近至聖物的時候，亞倫和他兒子要進去派他們各人所當辦的，所當抬的。這樣待他們，好使他們活着，不致死亡。
20 but they shall not enter to see, for a moment, that which is holy, else should they die.
只是他們連片時不可進去觀看聖所，免得他們死亡。」
21 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
耶和華曉諭摩西說：
22 reckon up the sum of the sons of Gershon even of them also, —by their ancestral house by their families;
「你要將革順子孫的總數，照着宗族、家室，
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.
從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏辦事的，全都數點。
24 This, shall be the labour of the families of the Gershonites, —in labouring and in bearing:
革順人各族所辦的事、所抬的物乃是這樣：
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;
他們要抬帳幕的幔子和會幕，並會幕的蓋與其上的海狗皮，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,
院子的帷子和門簾（院子是圍帳幕和壇的）、繩子，並所用的器具，不論是做甚麼用的，他們都要經理。
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.
革順的子孫在一切抬物辦事之上都要憑亞倫和他兒子的吩咐；他們所當抬的，要派他們看守。
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.
這是革順子孫的各族在會幕裏所辦的事；他們所看守的，必在祭司亞倫兒子以他瑪的手下。」
29 As for the sons of Merari, —by their families by their ancestral house, shall ye number them;
「至於米拉利的子孫，你要照着家室、宗族把他們數點。
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,
從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏辦事的，你都要數點。
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:
他們辦理會幕的事，就是抬帳幕的板、閂、柱子，和帶卯的座，
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.
院子四圍的柱子和其上帶卯的座、橛子、繩子，並一切使用的器具。他們所抬的器具，你們要按名指定。
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.
這是米拉利子孫各族在會幕裏所辦的事，都在祭司亞倫兒子以他瑪的手下。」
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;
摩西、亞倫與會眾的諸首領將哥轄的子孫，照着家室、宗族，
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;
從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏辦事的，都數點了。
36 and they who were numbered of them, by their families, were found to be two thousand, seven hundred and fifty.
被數的共有二千七百五十名。
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.
這是哥轄各族中被數的，是在會幕裏辦事的，就是摩西、亞倫照耶和華藉摩西所吩咐數點的。
38 And they who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, —by their families, and by their ancestral house;
革順子孫被數的，照着家室、宗族，
39 from thirty years old and upwards, even to fifty years old, all that might enter the host, to labour in the tent of meeting:
從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏辦事的，共有二千六百三十名。
40 yea they who were numbered of them, by their families, by their ancestral house, —were found to be—two thousand, and six hundred, and thirty.
41 These, are they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who might labour in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh.
這是革順子孫各族中被數的，是在會幕裏辦事的，就是摩西、亞倫照耶和華藉摩西所吩咐數點的。
42 And they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families by their ancestral house;
米拉利子孫中各族被數的，照着家室、宗族，
43 from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, —all that might enter the host to labour in the tent of meeting;
從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏辦事的，共有三千二百名。
44 yea they who were numbered of them, by their families, were found to be—three thousand and two hundred.
45 These, are they who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, —whom Moses and Aaron did number, at the bidding of Yahweh, by the mediation of Moses.
這是米拉利子孫各族中被數的，就是摩西、亞倫照耶和華藉摩西所吩咐數點的。
46 All they who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel did number, even the Levites, by their families and by their ancestral house;
凡被數的利未人，就是摩西、亞倫並以色列眾首領，照着家室、宗族所數點的，
47 from thirty years old and upwards, even unto fifty years old, all that might enter, to toil in the work of labouring and in the work of bearing burdens, in the tent of meeting,
從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職、在會幕裏做抬物之工的，共有八千五百八十名。
48 yea, they who were numbered of them were found to be—eight thousand, and five hundred, and eighty.
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.
摩西按他們所辦的事、所抬的物，憑耶和華的吩咐數點他們；他們這樣被摩西數點，正如耶和華所吩咐他的。
