Numbers 4

1 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

1 耶和华对摩西和亚伦说：

2 “Take a census of the Kohathites among the Levites by their clans and families,

2 “你要按宗族和家系统计利未人中哥辖子孙的人数，

3 men from thirty to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.

3 登记所有可在会幕司职的三十岁到五十岁的男子。

4 This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.

4 他们在会幕里的职责是照料至圣之物。

5 Whenever the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the veil of the curtain, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.

5 “拔营出发的时候，亚伦父子们要进会幕解下圣所和至圣所之间的幔子，用它遮盖约柜，

6 They are to place over this a covering of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth over it, and insert its poles.

6 再在上面依次盖上海狗皮和纯蓝色的布，然后穿上抬约柜的横杠。

7 Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and place the plates and cups on it, along with the bowls and pitchers for the drink offering. The regular bread offering is to remain on it.

7 “要在摆放供饼的桌子上铺一块蓝布，把盘、碟及献酒用的杯和瓶摆在上面。桌上要有常供的饼。

8 And they shall spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with fine leather, and insert the poles.

8 这些东西上面要盖朱红色的布，再盖上海狗皮，然后穿上抬桌子的横杠。

9 They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand used for light, together with its lamps, wick trimmers, and trays, as well as the jars of oil with which to supply it.

9 “要用蓝布把灯台、灯盏、灯剪、灯盘和盛油的器皿全遮盖起来，

10 Then they shall wrap it and all its utensils inside a covering of fine leather and put it on the carrying frame.

10 再在上面盖上海狗皮，然后放在抬架上。

11 Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth, cover it with fine leather, and insert the poles.

11 “金坛上面要盖蓝色布，再盖上海狗皮，穿上抬金坛的横杠。

12 They are to take all the utensils for serving in the sanctuary, place them in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and put them on the carrying frame.

12 “圣所里面供职用的一切器皿都要用蓝色布包好，盖上海狗皮，放在抬架上。

13 Then they shall remove the ashes from the bronze altar, spread a purple cloth over it,

13 “要清除祭坛上的灰烬，铺上紫色布，

14 and place on it all the vessels used to serve there: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls—all the equipment of the altar. They are to spread over it a covering of fine leather and insert the poles.

14 然后把供职用的火鼎、肉叉、铲、碗等所有的祭坛器具都放在上面，再盖上海狗皮，穿上抬祭坛的横杠。

15 When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all their equipment, as soon as the camp is ready to move, the Kohathites shall come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy objects, or they will die. These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the Tent of Meeting.

15 “拔营出发时，要等到亚伦父子们把圣所和圣所的所有器具都盖好后，哥辖的子孙才可以来抬。他们负责抬这些会幕的器具，但不可触摸这些圣物，免得死亡。

16 Eleazar son of Aaron the priest shall oversee the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He has oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including the holy objects and their utensils.”

16 亚伦祭司的儿子以利亚撒负责管理整个圣幕，以及里面的灯油、香料、日常献的素祭、膏油及一切器具和物品。”

17 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

17 耶和华对摩西和亚伦说：

18 “Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be cut off from among the Levites.

18 “不可让哥辖宗族在利未人中灭绝。

19 In order that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and what he is to carry.

19 他们走近至圣之物以前，亚伦父子们要先进去指派他们做什么、抬什么，以免他们死亡。

20 But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”

20 他们不可进去看圣物，一刻都不可，免得死亡。”

21 And the LORD said to Moses,

21 耶和华对摩西说：

22 “Take a census of the Gershonites as well, by their families and clans,

22 “你要按宗族和家系统计革顺子孙的人数，

23 from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.

23 登记所有可在会幕司职的三十岁到五十岁的男子。

24 This is the service of the Gershonite clans regarding work and transport:

24 以下是革顺宗族负责的搬运工作及其他事务：

25 They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting with the covering of fine leather over it, the curtains for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,

25 “他们要抬圣幕的幔子、会幕、会幕顶盖、顶盖上的海狗皮、会幕门帘、

26 the curtains of the courtyard, and the curtains for the entrance at the gate of the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, along with their ropes and all the equipment for their service. The Gershonites will do all that needs to be done with these items.

26 围绕圣幕和祭坛的院子的帷幔、院门门帘、绳索及司职用的一切器具，还负责其他相关事务。

27 All the service of the Gershonites—all their transport duties and other work—is to be done at the direction of Aaron and his sons; you are to assign to them all that they are responsible to carry.

27 你们要把抬的任务分配给革顺的子孙，他们要遵照亚伦父子们的吩咐司职。

28 This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the Tent of Meeting, and their duties shall be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

28 这是革顺宗族的人在会幕里的职责，他们要按祭司亚伦的儿子以他玛的吩咐司职。

29 As for the sons of Merari, you are to number them by their clans and families,

29 “你要按宗族和家系统计米拉利子孙的人数，

30 from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work of the Tent of Meeting.

30 登记所有可在会幕司职的三十岁到五十岁的男子。

31 This is the duty for all their service at the Tent of Meeting: to carry the frames of the tabernacle with its crossbars, posts, and bases,

31 他们在会幕里负责抬圣幕的木板、横闩、柱子、带凹槽的底座，

32 and the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes, including all their equipment and everything related to their use. You shall assign by name the items that they are responsible to carry.

32 院子四周的柱子及其带凹槽的底座、橛子、绳索和其他相关器具。你们要把当抬的物件一一指派给他们。

33 This is the service of the Merarite clans according to all their work at the Tent of Meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”

33 这是米拉利宗族的人在会幕的职责，由祭司亚伦的儿子以他玛监督。”

34 So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation numbered the Kohathites by their clans and families,

34 于是，摩西、亚伦和会众的首领按宗族和家系统计哥辖的子孙，

35 everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.

35 登记了所有可在会幕司职的三十岁到五十岁的男子，

36 And those numbered by their clans totaled 2,750.

36 共两千七百五十人。

37 These were counted from the Kohathite clans, everyone who could serve at the Tent of Meeting. Moses and Aaron numbered them according to the command of the LORD through Moses.

37 这是哥辖宗族在会幕司职的人数，是摩西和亚伦照耶和华的吩咐统计的。

38 Then the Gershonites were numbered by their clans and families,

38–40 按宗族和家系统计，革顺的子孙中三十岁到五十岁、可在会幕司职的共两千六百三十人。

39 everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.

40 And those numbered by their clans and families totaled 2,630.

41 These were counted from the Gershonite clans who served at the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted at the LORD’s command.

41 这是革顺宗族在会幕司职的人数，是摩西和亚伦照耶和华的吩咐统计的。

42 And the Merarites were numbered by their clans and families,

42–44 按宗族和家系统计，米拉利的子孙中三十岁到五十岁、可在会幕司职的共三千二百人。

43 everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.

44 The men registered by their clans numbered 3,200.

45 These were counted from the Merarite clans, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the LORD’s command through Moses.

45 这是米拉利宗族的人数，是摩西和亚伦照耶和华的吩咐统计的。

46 So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel numbered by their clans and families all the Levites

46 摩西、亚伦和以色列人的首领按宗族和家系统计了利未人的人数，

47 from thirty to fifty years old who came to do the work of serving and carrying the Tent of Meeting.

47–48 三十岁到五十岁、可司职和搬运会幕器具的利未人，共八千五百八十人。

48 And the number of men was 8,580.

49 At the LORD’s command through Moses they were numbered, and each one was assigned his work and burden, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

49 照耶和华对摩西的吩咐，每个人都被统计在内，都有指定的职责和当抬的器具。这样，照耶和华对摩西的吩咐，人口统计完毕。
