< Numbers 2 >

1 Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說:
2 “When the Israelis set up their tents, they should set them up in areas that surround the Sacred Tent, but not close to it. The people of each tribe must set up their tents in a different area. Each tribe must erect in that area a banner of their own clan and a flag that represents their tribe.
「以色列人要各歸自己的纛下,在本族的旗號那裏,對着會幕的四圍安營。
3 The people of the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun must set up their tents on the east side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of soldiers whom they will lead: Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, will be the leader of the 74,600 men of the tribe of Judah.
在東邊,向日出之地,照着軍隊安營的是猶大營的纛。有亞米拿達的兒子拿順作猶大人的首領。
4

又有西布倫支派。希倫的兒子以利押作西布倫人的首領。
8
他軍隊被數的,共有五萬七千四百名。
9 So there will be 86,400 troops on the east side [of the Sacred Tent]. Whenever the Israelis move to a new location, those three tribes must go in front of the others.
凡屬猶大營、按着軍隊被數的,共有十八萬六千四百名,要作第一隊往前行。
10 The tribes of Reuben, Simeon, and Gad must set up their tents on the south side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags.

凡屬呂便營、按着軍隊被數的,共有十五萬一千四百五十名,要作第二隊往前行。
17 Behind that group will walk the descendants of Levi, who will carry the Sacred Tent. The Israelis will march in the same order that they always set up their tents. Each tribe will carry its own flag.
「隨後,會幕要往前行,有利未營在諸營中間。他們怎樣安營就怎樣往前行,各按本位,各歸本纛。
18 The tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin must set up their tents on the west side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and number of men whom they will lead: Elishama, the son of Ammihud, will be the leader of the 40,500 men of the tribe of Ephraim.
「在西邊,按着軍隊是以法蓮營的纛。亞米忽的兒子以利沙瑪作以法蓮人的首領。

「在北邊,按着軍隊是但營的纛。亞米沙代的兒子亞希以謝作但人的首領。

27 Pagiel, the son of Ocran, will be the leader of the 41,500 men of the tribe of Asher.

凡但營被數的,共有十五萬七千六百名,要歸本纛作末隊往前行。」
32 So there were 603,550 Israeli men who were able to fight who were listed according to their families’ ancestors.
這些以色列人,照他們的宗族,按他們的軍隊,在諸營中被數的,共有六十萬零三千五百五十名。
33 But just as Yahweh had commanded, the names of the descendants of Levi were not included.
惟獨利未人沒有數在以色列人中,是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。
34 The Israelis did everything that Yahweh had told Moses/me. They set up their tents close to their tribal flags, and when they traveled [to a new location, they walked] with their own clans and family groups.
以色列人就這樣行,各人照他們的家室、宗族歸於本纛,安營起行,都是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。
