< Numbers 1 >
1 In April of the year after the Israeli people left Egypt, Yahweh spoke to Moses/me while he/I was in the Sacred Tent, in the Sinai Desert. Yahweh said to him/me,
以色列人出埃及地后,第二年二月初一日,耶和华在西奈的旷野、会幕中晓谕摩西说:
2 “I want you and Aaron to determine how many Israeli men are able to fight in battles. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old, and write down the names of their clans and families.
“你要按以色列全会众的家室、宗族、人名的数目计算所有的男丁。
凡以色列中,从二十岁以外,能出去打仗的,你和亚伦要照他们的军队数点。
4 [I have chosen] one man from each of the tribes to help you to do this. Each one will be a leader of his clan.
每支派中必有一人作本支派的族长,帮助你们。
5 Their names are: Elizur, the son of Shedeur, from the tribe of Reuben; Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, from the tribe of Simeon; Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah; Nethanel, the son of Zuar, from the tribe of Issachar; Eliab, the son of Helon, from the tribe of Zebulun; Elishama, the son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Ephraim; Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, from the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh; Abidan, the son of Gideoni, from the tribe of Benjamin; Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, from the tribe of Dan; Pagiel, the son of Ocran, from the tribe of Asher; Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, from the tribe of Gad; Ahira, the son of Enan, from the tribe of Naphtali.”
他们的名字:属吕便的,有示丢珥的儿子以利蓿;
约瑟子孙、属以法莲的,有亚米忽的儿子以利沙玛;属玛拿西的,有比大蓿的儿子迦玛列;
16 Those were the men whom Yahweh chose from the people. They were leaders of their tribes. They were the chief men of the clans of the Israeli people.
这都是从会中选召的,各作本支派的首领,都是以色列军中的统领。”
17 Aaron and Moses/I summoned all these leaders,
于是,摩西、亚伦带着这些按名指定的人,
18 and they gathered all of the people together on that same day. They listed/wrote down the names of all the men who were at least 20 years old, and with their names they wrote the names of their clans and their family groups
当二月初一日招聚全会众。会众就照他们的家室、宗族、人名的数目,从二十岁以外的,都述说自己的家谱。
19 just as Moses/I had commanded. They wrote the names while (the Israelis/we) were there in the Sinai Desert.
耶和华怎样吩咐摩西,他就怎样在西奈的旷野数点他们。
20 This is a list of the number of men who were at least 20 years old and able to fight in battles, and the names of their tribes: There were 46,500 men from the tribe of Reuben (who was Jacob’s oldest son); there were 59,300 men from the tribe of Simeon; there were 45,560 men from the tribe of Gad; there were 74,600 men from the tribe of Judah; there were 54,400 men from the tribe of Issachar; there were 57,400 men from the tribe of Zebulun; there were 40,500 men from the tribe of Ephraim; there were 32,200 men from the tribe of Manasseh; there were 35,400 men from the tribe of Benjamin; there were 62,700 men from the tribe of Dan; there were 41,500 men from the tribe of Asher; there were 53,400 men from the tribe of Naphtali.

44 That was the number of men from each tribe that Aaron and Moses/I and the twelve leaders of the tribes of Israel listed, along with the names of their clans.
这些就是被数点的,是摩西、亚伦,和以色列中十二个首领所数点的;这十二个人各作各宗族的代表。
这样,凡以色列人中被数的,照着宗族,从二十岁以外,能出去打仗、被数的,共有六十万零三千五百五十名。
46 The total was 603,550 men.
47 But this number did not include the names of the men of the tribe of Levi,
利未人却没有按着支派数在其中,
48 because Yahweh had said to Moses/me,
因为耶和华晓谕摩西说:
49 “When you (count/write the names of) the men of the tribes of Israel, do not count the men in the tribe of Levi.
“惟独利未支派你不可数点,也不可在以色列人中计算他们的总数。
50 Appoint the male descendants of Levi to take care of the Sacred Tent and the chest inside it that contains [the tablets on which are written] the Ten Commandments. They must also take care of the other things that are inside the tent. [When you travel], they are the ones who must carry the tent and all the things that are inside it, and they must take care of it and set up their tents around it.
只要派利未人管法柜的帐幕和其中的器具,并属乎帐幕的;他们要抬帐幕和其中的器具,并要办理帐幕的事,在帐幕的四围安营。
51 Whenever it is time for all of you to move [to another location], the descendants of Levi are the ones who must dismantle the tent. And when it is time to stop traveling, they are the ones who must set up the Sacred Tent again. Any other person who goes near the Sacred Tent [to do this work] must be executed.
帐幕将往前行的时候,利未人要拆卸;将支搭的时候,利未人要竖起。近前来的外人必被治死。
52 The people of each Israeli tribe must set up their tents in their own area, and they must set up a flag/banner that represents their tribe.
以色列人支搭帐棚,要照他们的军队,各归本营,各归本纛。
53 But the male descendants of Levi must set up their tents around the Sacred Tent, in order to protect the other Israeli people from being punished [MTY] by Yahweh [for coming close to the Sacred Tent]. The descendants of Levi are the ones who must stand around the Sacred Tent to guard it.”
但利未人要在法柜帐幕的四围安营,免得忿怒临到以色列会众;利未人并要谨守法柜的帐幕。”
54 So the Israeli people did everything just like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
以色列人就这样行。凡耶和华所吩咐摩西的,他们就照样行了。
