Numbers 4

1 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا:

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

2 «خُذْ عَدَدَ بَنِي قَهَاتَ مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي لَاوِي 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 ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، كُلِّ دَاخِلٍ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ لِيَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

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

4 هَذِهِ خِدْمَةُ بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ: قُدْسُ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ.

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 يَأْتِي هَارُونُ وَبَنُوهُ عِنْدَ ٱرْتِحَالِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ وَيُنَزِّلُونَ حِجَابَ ٱلسَّجْفِ وَيُغَطُّونَ بِهِ تَابُوتَ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ،

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

6 وَيَجْعَلُونَ عَلَيْهِ غِطَاءً مِنْ جِلْدِ تُخَسٍ، وَيَبْسُطُونَ مِنْ فَوْقُ ثَوْبًا كُلُّهُ أَسْمَانْجُونِيٌّ، وَيَضَعُونَ عِصِيَّهُ.

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 وَعَلَى مَائِدَةِ ٱلْوُجُوهِ يَبْسُطُونَ ثَوْبَ أَسْمَانْجُونٍ، وَيَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلصِّحَافَ وَٱلصُّحُونَ وَٱلْأَقْدَاحَ وَكَاسَاتِ ٱلسَّكِيبِ، وَيَكُونُ ٱلْخُبْزُ ٱلدَّائِمُ عَلَيْهِ،

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

8 وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَيْهَا ثَوْبَ قِرْمِزٍ وَيُغَطُّونَهُ بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ تُخَسٍ وَيَضَعُونَ عِصِيَّهُ.

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 وَيَأْخُذُونَ ثَوْبَ أَسْمَانْجُونٍ وَيُغَطُّونَ مَنَارَةَ ٱلضَّوْءِ وَسُرُجَهَا وَمَلَاقِطَهَا وَمَنَافِضَهَا وَجَمِيعَ آنِيَةِ زَيْتِهَا ٱلَّتِي يَخْدِمُونَهَا بِهَا.

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

10 وَيَجْعَلُونَهَا وَجَمِيعَ آنِيَتَهَا فِي غِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ تُخَسٍ، وَيَجْعَلُونَهُ عَلَى ٱلْعَتَلَةِ.

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

11 وَعَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلذَّهَبِ يَبْسُطُونَ ثَوْبَ أَسْمَانْجُونٍ، وَيُغَطُّونَهُ بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ تُخَسٍ وَيَضَعُونَ عِصِيَّهُ.

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 وَيَأْخُذُونَ جَمِيعَ أَمْتِعَةِ ٱلْخِدْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَا فِي ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَيَجْعَلُونَهَا فِي ثَوْبِ أَسْمَانْجُونٍ وَيُغَطُّونَهَا بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ تُخَسٍ، وَيَجْعَلُونَهَا عَلَى ٱلْعَتَلَةِ.

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

13 وَيَرْفَعُونَ رَمَادَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَ أُرْجُوانٍ،

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 وَيَجْعَلُونَ عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعَ أَمْتِعَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي يَخْدِمُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا: ٱلْمَجَامِرَ وَٱلْمَنَاشِلَ وَٱلرُّفُوشَ وَٱلْمَنَاضِحَ، كُلَّ أَمْتِعَةِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَيْهِ غِطَاءً مِنْ جِلْدِ تُخَسٍ، وَيَضَعُونَ عِصِيَّهُ.

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 وَمَتَى فَرَغَ هَارُونُ وَبَنُوهُ مِنْ تَغْطِيَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَجَمِيعِ أَمْتِعَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ عِنْدَ ٱرْتِحَالِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، يَأْتِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَنُو قَهَاتَ لِلْحَمْلِ وَلَكِنْ لَا يَمَسُّوا ٱلْقُدْسَ لِئَلَّا يَمُوتُوا. ذَلِكَ حِمْلُ بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

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 وَوِكَالَةُ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ هِيَ زَيْتُ ٱلضَّوْءِ وَٱلْبَخُورُ ٱلْعَطِرُ وَٱلتَّقْدِمَةُ ٱلدَّائِمَةُ وَدُهْنُ ٱلْمَسْحَةِ، وَوِكَالَةُ كُلِّ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ وَكُلِّ مَا فِيهِ بِٱلْقُدْسِ وَأَمْتِعَتِهِ».

17 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

17 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا:

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

18 «لَا تَقْرِضَا سِبْطَ عَشَائِرِ ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ،

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 ٱفْعَلَا لَهُمْ هَذَا فَيَعِيشُوا وَلَا يَمُوتُوا عِنْدَ ٱقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى قُدْسِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ: يَدْخُلُ هَارُونُ وَبَنُوهُ وَيُقِيمُونَهُمْ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ وَحِمْلِهِ.

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

20 وَلَا يَدْخُلُوا لِيَرَوْا ٱلْقُدْسَ لَحْظَةً لِئَلَّا يَمُوتُوا».

21 And the LORD said to Moses,

21 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

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

22 «خُذْ عَدَدَ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ أَيْضًا 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 ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً تَعُدُّهُمْ، كُلَّ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ لِيَتَجَنَّدُوا أَجْنَادًا، لِيَخْدِمُوا خِدْمَةً فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

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

24 هَذِهِ خِدْمَةُ عَشَائِرِ ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ مِنَ ٱلْخِدْمَةِ وَٱلْحِمْلِ:

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 ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، وَخَيْمَةَ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ وَغِطَاءَهَا، وَغِطَاءَ ٱلتُّخَسِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهَا مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَسَجْفَ بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ،

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 ٱلدَّارِ وَسَجْفَ مَدْخَلِ بَابِ ٱلدَّارِ ٱللَّوَاتِي حَوْلَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ وَحَوْلَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ مُحِيطَةً، وَأَطْنَابَهُنَّ وَكُلَّ أَمْتِعَةِ خِدْمَتِهِنَّ. وَكُلُّ مَا يُعْمَلُ لَهُنَّ فَهُمْ يَصْنَعُونَهُ،

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 حَسَبَ قَوْلِ هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ تَكُونُ جَمِيعُ خِدْمَةِ بَنِي ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ مِنْ كُلِّ حَمْلِهِمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ خِدْمَتِهِمْ. وَتُوَكِّلُهُمْ بِحِرَاسَةِ كُلِّ أَحْمَالِهِمْ.

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 خِدْمَةُ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَحِرَاسَتُهُمْ بِيَدِ إِيثَامَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلكَاهِنِ.

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

29 «بَنُو مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ تَعُدُّهُمْ،

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

30 مِنِ ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً تَعُدُّهُمْ، كُلَّ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ لِيَخْدِمُوا خِدْمَةَ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

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 وَهَذِهِ حِرَاسَةُ حَمْلِهِمْ وَكُلُّ خِدْمَتِهِمْ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ: أَلْوَاحُ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ وَعَوَارِضُهُ وَأَعْمِدَتُهُ وَفُرَضُهُ،

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 وَأَعْمِدَةُ ٱلدَّارِ حَوَالَيْهَا وَفُرَضُهَا وَأَوْتَادُهَا وَأَطْنَابُهَا مَعَ كُلِّ أَمْتِعَتِهَا وَكُلِّ خِدْمَتِهَا. وَبِٱلْأَسْمَاءِ تَعُدُّونَ أَمْتِعَةَ حِرَاسَةِ حَمْلِهِمْ.

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 خِدْمَةُ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي مَرَارِي. كُلُّ خِدْمَتِهِمْ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ بِيَدِ إِيثَامَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ».

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

34 فَعَدَّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ بَنِي ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ 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 ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، كُلَّ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ لِلْخِدْمَةِ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

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

36 فَكَانَ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ 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 هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ، كُلُّ ٱلْخَادِمِينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى.

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

38 وَٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

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

39 مِنِ ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، كُلُّ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ لِلْخِدْمَةِ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

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

40 كَانَ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ أَلْفَيْنِ وَسِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ.

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 هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ، كُلُّ ٱلْخَادِمِينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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

42 وَٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ 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 ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، كُلُّ ٱلدَّاخِلْينَ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ لِلْخِدْمَةِ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

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

44 كَانَ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ وَمِئَتَيْنِ.

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

45 هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي مَرَارِي ٱلَّذِينَ عَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى.

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

46 جَمِيعُ ٱلْمَعْدُودِينَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ 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 ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا إِلَى ٱبْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، كُلُّ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ لِيَعْمَلُوا عَمَلَ ٱلْخِدْمَةِ وَعَمَلَ ٱلْحَمْلِ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

48 And the number of men was 8,580.

48 كَانَ ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ ثَمَانِيَةَ آلَافٍ 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 حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى عُدَّ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ وَعَلَى حَمْلِهِ، ٱلَّذِينَ عَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ.
