民数記 3
1 ヱホバ、シナイ山に於てモーセと語ひたまへる日にはアロンとモーセの一族左のごとくにてありき
This is the account concerning Aaron and Moses when the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai.
2 アロンの子孫は是のごとし長子はナダブ次はアビウ、エレアザル、イタマル
The names of the sons of Aaron were: Nadab (firstborn), Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 是すなはちアロンの子等の名なり彼等は皆膏そそがれ祭司の職に任ぜられて祭司となれり
These were the names of Aaron's sons who were anointed and ordained to serve as priests.
4 ナダブとアビウはシナイの野にて異火をヱホバの前に献たる時にヱホバの前に死り子なしエレアザルとイタマルはその父アロンの目の前にて祭司の職を爲り
Nadab and Abihu died in the Lord's presence when they offered forbidden fire before the Lord in the Sinai desert. Since they didn't have any sons, Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests while their father Aaron was alive.
5 ヱホバまたモーセに告て言たまはく
The Lord told Moses,
6 レビの支派を召よせ祭司アロンの前に侍りてこれに事へしめよ
“Gather the tribe of Levi together and present them to Aaron the priest to help him with the ministry.
7 彼らは集會の幕屋の前にありてアロンの職と全會衆の職に替り幕屋の役事をなすべきなり
They are to carry out duties on his behalf and for all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting, looking after the service of the Tabernacle.
8 すなはち彼等は集會の幕屋の諸の器具を看守イスラエルの子孫の職に替りて幕屋の役事をなすべし
They are responsible for caring for all the furniture of the Tent of Meeting, serving the Israelites through what they do in the Tabernacle.
9 汝レビ人をアロンとその子等に與ふべしイスラエルの子孫の中より彼等は全くアロンに與へられたる者なり
The Levites are to work exclusively for Aaron and his sons of because this is their assignment among the Israelites.
10 汝アロンとその子等を立て祭司の職を行はしむべし外人の近づく者は殺されん
You are to appoint Aaron and his sons to have the responsibility of the priesthood. Anyone else who tries to act as a priest must be executed.”
11 ヱホバすなはちモーセに告て言たまはく
The Lord told Moses,
12 視よ我イスラエルの子孫の中なる始に生れたる者すなはち首出の代にレビ人をイスラエルの子孫の中より取り
“I've taken the Levites from the Israelites in place of every one of their firstborn. The Levites belong to me
13 首出はすべて吾が有なり我エジプトの國の中の首出をことごとく撃ころせる時イスラエルの首出を人も畜もことごとく聖別て我に歸せしめたり是はわが有となるべし我はヱホバなり
because all the firstborn are mine. When I killed every firstborn in Egypt I set apart as holy to me all the firstborn of Israel, human and animal. They are mine. I am the Lord.”
14 ヱホバ、シナイの野にてモーセに告ていひたまはく
The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert. He told him,
15 汝レビの子孫をその父祖の家に依りその宗族にしたがひて核數よ即ちその一箇月以上の男子を核數べし
“Register the Levites by their father's line and family. Count every male aged one month or older.”
