Numbers 3

1 This is the account of Aaron and Moses at the time the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.

1 以下是耶和华在西奈山与摩西说话期间亚伦和摩西的后代。

2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, then Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

2 亚伦的长子是拿答，其他儿子是亚比户、以利亚撒和以他玛。

3 These were Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests.

3 亚伦的儿子都是受膏的祭司，由摩西授予他们圣职做祭司。

4 Nadab and Abihu, however, died in the presence of the LORD when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai. And since they had no sons, only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.

4 拿答和亚比户在西奈旷野用凡火向耶和华献祭时死在祂面前，没有留下儿子，因而只剩下以利亚撒和以他玛在父亲亚伦身边担任祭司。

5 Then the LORD said to Moses,

5 耶和华对摩西说：

6 “Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him.

6 “你去叫利未支派来协助亚伦祭司。

7 They are to perform duties for him and for the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, attending to the service of the tabernacle.

7 他们要为亚伦和全体会众在会幕司职，办理圣幕的事务，

8 They shall take care of all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting and fulfill obligations for the Israelites by attending to the service of the tabernacle.

8 也要负责看守会幕里面的所有器具，为以色列人办理圣幕的事务。

9 Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been given exclusively to him from among the Israelites.

9 你要把利未人交给亚伦父子们，因为他们是从以色列人中选出来单单协助亚伦的。

10 So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons to carry out the duties of the priesthood; but any outsider who approaches the tabernacle must be put to death.”

10 你要指派亚伦父子们尽祭司的职分，外人若近前来，必被处死。”

11 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

11 耶和华又对摩西说：

12 “Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel in place of every firstborn Israelite from the womb. The Levites belong to Me,

12 “我从以色列人中拣选利未人代替以色列人所有的长子。利未人要属于我，

13 for all the firstborn are Mine. On the day I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They are Mine; I am the LORD.”

13 因为所有头生的都属于我。我杀死埃及人所有的长子和头生的牲畜那天，已把以色列人所有的长子和头生的牲畜都分别出来，使之圣洁，归给我。我是耶和华。”

14 Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,

14 耶和华在西奈旷野对摩西说：

15 “Number the Levites by their families and clans. You are to count every male a month old or more.”

15 “你要按利未人的宗族和家系统计他们的人口，登记所有年龄在一个月以上的男性。”

16 So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he had been commanded.

16 于是，摩西照耶和华的吩咐统计利未人。

17 These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

17 利未的儿子是革顺、哥辖和米拉利。

18 These were the names of the sons of Gershon by their clans: Libni and Shimei.

18 按照宗族，革顺的儿子是立尼和示每。

19 The sons of Kohath by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

19 按照宗族，哥辖的儿子是暗兰、以斯哈、希伯仑和乌薛。

20 And the sons of Merari by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of the Levites, according to their families.

20 按照宗族，米拉利的儿子是抹利和姆示。他们按家系都属于利未人的宗族。

21 From Gershon came the Libnite clan and the Shimeite clan; these were the Gershonite clans.

21 革顺宗族有立尼和示每两个家族，

22 The number of all the males a month old or more was 7,500.

22 其中年龄在一个月以上的男性共七千五百人。

23 The Gershonite clans were to camp on the west, behind the tabernacle,

23 革顺宗族要在圣幕后面，即西面安营，

24 and the leader of the families of the Gershonites was Eliasaph son of Lael.

24 家族首领是拉伊勒的儿子以利雅萨。

25 The duties of the Gershonites at the Tent of Meeting were the tabernacle and tent, its covering, the curtain for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,

25 革顺人负责看守会幕，即圣幕、圣幕的罩棚、顶盖和门帘、

26 the curtains of the courtyard, the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, and the cords—all the service for these items.

26 围绕圣幕和祭坛的院子的帷幔、门帘、绳索及一切相关的物品。

27 From Kohath came the clans of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites; these were the clans of the Kohathites.

27 哥辖宗族有暗兰家族、以斯哈家族、希伯仑家族和乌薛家族，

28 The number of all the males a month old or more was 8,600. They were responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.

28 其中年龄在一个月以上的男性共有八千六百人，他们负责看守圣所。

29 The clans of the Kohathites were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle,

29 哥辖宗族要在圣幕南面安营，

30 and the leader of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan son of Uzziel.

30 家族首领是乌薛的儿子以利撒反。

31 Their duties were the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the articles of the sanctuary used with them, and the curtain—all the service for these items.

31 他们负责照管约柜、桌子、灯台、两座坛、圣所内用的器具、幔子及一切物品。

32 The chief of the leaders of the Levites was Eleazar son of Aaron the priest; he oversaw those responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.

32 亚伦祭司的儿子以利亚撒是利未人的最高首领，负责监督那些照料圣所的人。

33 From Merari came the clans of the Mahlites and Mushites; these were the Merarite clans.

33 米拉利宗族有抹利和姆示两个家族，

34 The number of all the males a month old or more was 6,200.

34 其中年龄在一个月以上的男性共六千二百人，

35 The leader of the families of the Merarites was Zuriel son of Abihail; they were to camp on the north side of the tabernacle.

35 家族领袖是亚比亥的儿子苏列。他们要在圣幕的北面安营。

36 The duties assigned to the sons of Merari were the tabernacle’s frames, crossbars, posts, bases, and all its equipment—all the service for these items,

36 米拉利人负责照管圣幕的木板、横闩、柱子、带凹槽的底座、圣幕的一切器具和所有相关事务，

37 as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes.

37 还有院子四周的柱子及其带凹槽的底座、橛子和绳索。

38 Moses, Aaron, and Aaron’s sons were to camp to the east of the tabernacle, toward the sunrise, before the Tent of Meeting. They were to perform the duties of the sanctuary as a service on behalf of the Israelites; but any outsider who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death.

38 摩西、亚伦和亚伦的儿子们要在圣幕东面、朝日出的方向安营，替以色列人在圣所司职。外人若近前来，必被处死。

39 The total number of Levites that Moses and Aaron counted by their clans at the LORD’s command, including all the males a month old or more, was 22,000.

39 摩西和亚伦照耶和华的吩咐，按宗族统计利未人，年龄在一个月以上的男性共两万二千人。

40 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Number every firstborn male of the Israelites a month old or more, and list their names.

40 耶和华对摩西说：“你要统计以色列人中年龄在一个月以上的长子，登记他们的名字。

41 You are to take the Levites for Me—I am the LORD—in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites.”

41 我是耶和华，你要把利未人归给我，代替以色列人所有的长子，也要把利未人的牲畜献给我，代替以色列人所有头生的牲畜。”

42 So Moses numbered all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the LORD had commanded him.

42 摩西就照耶和华的吩咐，统计了以色列人的所有长子，

43 The total number of the firstborn males a month old or more, listed by name, was 22,273.

43 年龄在一个月以上的共两万二千二百七十三人。

44 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

44 耶和华又对摩西说：

45 “Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites belong to Me; I am the LORD.

45 “你要用利未人代替以色列人所有的长子，用利未人的牲畜代替以色列人所有头生的牲畜。利未人是属于我的，我是耶和华。

46 To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who outnumber the Levites,

46 以色列人所有长子的人数比利未人总数多二百七十三人，这些多出来的人需要被赎回，

47 you are to collect five shekels for each one, according to the sanctuary shekel of twenty gerahs.

47 每人一两银子，要以圣所的秤为准，即一舍客勒 是二十季拉。

48 Give the money to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for the excess among the Israelites.”

48 要把多出来之人的赎银交给亚伦父子们。”

49 So Moses collected the redemption money from those in excess of the number redeemed by the Levites.

49 摩西就收取了利未人所赎人数之外那些多出来之人的赎银，

50 He collected the money from the firstborn of the Israelites: 1,365 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.

50 以圣所的秤计算，共从以色列人的长子收取了二百七十三两银子。

51 And Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons in obedience to the word of the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

51 他照耶和华的吩咐，将赎银交给亚伦父子们。
