Numbers 4

1 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

1 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ:

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

2 «أَحْصِيَا بَنِي قَهَاتَ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

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

3 مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً حَتَّى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ لِخِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

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

4 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الْخِدْمَةُ الَّتِي تُوْكَلُ إِلَى بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ: قُدْسُ الأَقْدَاسِ.

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 عِنْدَ وَقْتِ الرَّحِيلِ، يَأْتِي هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ وَيُنْزِلُونَ الحِجَابَ الْفَاصِلَ، وَيُغَطُّونَ بِهِ تَابُوتَ الشَّهَادَةِ،

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

6 وَيَضَعُونَ فَوْقَهُ غِطَاءً مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَيَبْسُطُونَ فَوْقَهُ ثَوْباً مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ ثُمَّ يَضَعُونَ عِصِيَّهُ فِي حَلَقَاتِهَا.

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 وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ خُبْزِ الْوُجُوهِ ثَوْباً مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ وَيَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهِ الصِّحَافَ وَالصُّحُونَ وَالْكُئوسَ وَالأَبَارِيقَ الَّتِي تُسْكَبُ بِها الْقَرَابِينُ، وَيَكُونُ الْخُبْزُ الدَّائِمُ مَوْجُوداً عَلَيْهِ،

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

8 ثُمَّ يُغَطُّونَهَا بِثَوْبٍ أَحْمَرِ اللَّوْنِ وَيَضَعُونَ فَوْقَهَا غِطَاءً مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ وَيُدْخِلُونَ عِصِيَّهَا فِي حَلَقَاتِهَا.

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 وَيُغَطُّونَ أَيْضاً الْمَنَارَةَ وَسُرُجَهَا وَمَلاقِطَهَا وَمَنَافِضَهَا، وَسَائِرَ آنِيَةِ زَيْتِهَا الَّتِي يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهَا، بِثَوْبٍ أَزْرَقَ.

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

10 وَيَلُفُّونَهَا مَعَ جَمِيعِ أَوَانِيهَا بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَيَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى حَمَّالَةٍ.

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

11 وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ الذَّهَبِ ثَوْباً أَزْرَقَ وَيُغَطُّونَهُ بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَيُدْخِلُونَ عِصِيَّهُ فِي حَلَقَاتِهِ.

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 وَكَذَلِكَ يَلُفُّونَ جَمِيعَ أَوَانِي الْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهَا فِي الْقُدْسِ بِثَوْبٍ أَزْرَقَ وَيُغَطُّونَهَا بِغِطَاءٍ مِنَ الدَّلْفِينِ وَيَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى حَمَّالَةٍ

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

13 وَيَرْفَعُونَ رَمَادَ الْمَذْبَحِ وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْباً مِنْ قُمَاشٍ بَنَفْسَجِيٍّ،

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 وَيَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعَ أَوَانِيهِ الَّتِي يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهَا، الْمَجَامِرَ وَالْمَنَاشِلَ وَالرُّفُوشَ وَالْمَنَاضِحَ، كُلَّ أَوَانِي الْمَذْبَحِ، وَيُغَطُّونَهُ بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُونَ عِصِيَّهُ فِي حَلَقَاتِهِ.

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 وَحَالَمَا يَنْتَهِي هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ مِنْ تَغْطِيَةِ الْقُدْسِ وَجَمِيعِ آنِيَتِهِ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ ارْتِحَالِ الْمُخَيَّمِ، يُقْبِلُ بَنُو قَهَاتَ لِيَحْمِلُوهَا. وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاهُمْ أَنْ يَمَسُّوا الأَشْيَاءَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ لِئَلّا يَمُوتُوا. هَذِهِ هِيَ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي حَمْلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

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 وَيَكُونُ أَلِعَازَارُ بْنُ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ مَسْؤولاً عَنْ زَيْتِ الإِنَارَةِ، وَعَنِ الْبَخُورِ الْعَطِرِ، وَتَقْدِمَةِ الدَّقِيقِ الْيَوْمِيَّةِ وَدُهْنِ الْمَسْحَةِ وَعَنْ سَائِرِ الْمَسْكَنِ وَمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُدْسِ وَأَوَانِيهِ».

17 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

17 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ:

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

18 «احْرِصَا أَلّا يَنْقَرِضَ فَرْعُ عَشَائِرِ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ اللّاوِيِّينَ،

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 بَلِ اعْمَلا هَذَا التَّرْتِيبَ فَيَعِيشُوا وَلا يَمُوتُوا عِنْدَ اقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ. يَدْخُلُ مَعَهُمْ هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ وَيُعَيِّنُونَ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ خِدْمَتَهُ وَحِمْلَهُ.

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

20 وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاهُمْ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا لِمُشَاهَدَةِ الْقُدْسِ وَلَوْ لِلَحْظَةٍ، لِئَلّا يَهْلِكُوا».

21 And the LORD said to Moses,

21 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

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

22 «أَحْصِ عَدَدَ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ أَيْضاً حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ وَعَشَائِرِهِمْ،

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

23 مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ حَتَّى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

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

24 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الخَدَمَاتُ الَّتِي تُوْكَلُ إِلَى عَشَائِرِ الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ وَحَمْلٍ:

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 يَحْمِلُونَ شُقَقَ الْمَسْكَنِ وَخَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَغِطَاءَهَا وَغِطَاءَ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ الَّذِي فَوْقَهَا، وَسِتَارَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

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 وَأَسْتَارَ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِالْمَسْكَنِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ، وَسِتَارَةَ الْمَدْخَلِ وَالْحِبَالَ وَالأَوَانِي الْمُسْتَخْدَمَةَ فِي خِدْمَتِهَا. وَيُؤَدِّي الْجَرْشُونِيُّونَ جَمِيعَ الْخِدْمَاتِ الْوَاجِبَةِ لَهَا.

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 وَيَجِبُ أَنْ يَقُومُوا بِخِدْمَتِهِمْ، سَوَاءٌ أَكَانَتْ خِدْمَةَ نَقْلٍ أَمْ أَيَّ عَمَلٍ آخَرَ، تَحْتَ إِشْرَافِ هَرُونَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ. وَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُعَيِّنَ لَهُمْ مَا يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَمْلُهُ.

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 هَذِهِ هِيَ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ عَشَائِرِ الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَيَكُونُ إِيثَامَارُ بْنُ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ هُوَ الْمُشْرِفُ عَلَى تَأْدِيَةِ وَاجِبَاتِهِمْ.

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

29 وَتُحْصِي بَنِي مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

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

30 مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ حَتَّى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

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 وَتَكُونُ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ خِدْمَتِهِمْ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ نَقْلَ أَلْوَاحِ الْمَسْكَنِ وَعَوَارِضِهِ وَأَعْمِدَتِهِ وَقَوَاعِدِهِ،

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 وَأَعْمِدَةِ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ وَقَوَاعِدِهَا وَأَوْتَادِهَا وَحِبَالِهَا وَأَوَانِيهَا وَكُلِّ مَا يَتَّصِلُ بِخِدْمَتِهَا. وَحَدِّدُوا بِالتَّفْصِيلِ مَا يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ حَمْلُهُ.

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 هَذِهِ هِيَ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ عَشَائِرِ الْمَرَارِيِّينَ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ بِها فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ تَحْتَ إِشْرَافِ إِيثَامَارَ بْنِ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ».

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

34 فَأَحْصَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الشَّعْبِ جُمْلَةَ أَبْنَاءِ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

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

35 مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ إِلَى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

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

36 فَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنْهُمْ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ أَلْفَيْنِ وَسَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ.

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 هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الْمُحْصَوْنَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ الْخَادِمِينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى.

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

38 وَتَمَّ إِحْصَاءُ جُمْلَةِ أَبْنَاءِ جَرْشُونَ حَسَب عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

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

39 مِنْ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ إِلَى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

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

40 وَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنْهُم حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ أَلْفَيْنِ وَسِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ.

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 هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الْمُحْصَوْنَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ الْخَادِمِينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ.

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

42 وَتَمَّ إِحْصَاءُ جُمْلَةِ بَنِي مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

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

43 مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ إِلَى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

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

44 فَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنْهُمْ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ ثَلاثَةَ آلافٍ وَمِئَتَيْنِ.

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

45 هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الْمُحْصَوْنَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي مَرَارِي الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ الَّربِّ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى.

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

46 فَكَانَ مَجْمُوعُ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنَ اللّاوِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ.

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

47 مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثَينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ إِلَى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، الْمُجَنَّدِينَ فِي عَمَلِ الْخِدْمَةِ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَفِي خِدْمَةِ نَقْلِهَا،

48 And the number of men was 8,580.

48 ثَمَانِيَةَ آلافٍ وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِينَ.

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 وَكَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى تَمَّ تَعْيِينُ كُلِّ لاوِيٍّ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ وَتَحْدِيدُ مَا يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَيْهِ حَمْلُهُ. وَهَكَذَا تَمَّ إِحْصَاؤُهُمْ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.
