Numbers 1
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
L’Éternel parla en ces termes à Moïse, dans le désert de Sinaï, dans la tente d’assignation, le premier jour du second mois de la deuxième année après leur sortie du pays d’Egypte:
2 “Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, every male, one by one,
"Faites le relevé de toute la communauté des enfants d’Israël, selon leurs familles et leurs maisons paternelles, au moyen d’un recensement nominal de tous les mâles, comptés par tête.

17 Moses and Aaron took these men who are mentioned by name.
Moïse et Aaron s’adjoignirent ces hommes, désignés par leurs noms.
18 They assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they declared their ancestry by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, one by one.
Puis ils convoquèrent toute la communauté, le premier jour du second mois; et on les enregistra selon leurs familles et leurs maisons paternelles, en comptant par noms ceux qui avaient vingt ans et plus, chacun individuellement,
19 As Yahweh commanded Moses, so he counted them in the wilderness of Sinai.

44 These are those who were counted, whom Moses and Aaron counted, and the twelve men who were princes of Israel, each one for his fathers’ house.
Tel fut le dénombrement opéré par Moïse et Aaron conjointement avec les phylarques d’Israël, lesquels étaient douze, un homme par famille paternelle.
45 So all those who were counted of the children of Israel by their fathers’ houses, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war in Israel—
Le total des Israélites recensés selon leurs maisons paternelles, de tous ceux qui, âgés de vingt ans et au-delà, étaient propres au service en Israël,
46 all those who were counted were six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty.
le total de ces recensés fut de six cent trois mille cinq cent cinquante.
47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not counted among them.
Quant aux Lévites, eu égard à leur tribu paternelle, ils ne figurèrent point dans ce dénombrement.
48 For Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Et l’Éternel parla ainsi à Moïse:
49 “Only the tribe of Levi you shall not count, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel;
"Pour ce qui est de la tribu de Lévi, tu ne la recenseras ni n’en feras le relevé en la comptant avec les autres enfants d’Israël.
50 but appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of it, and shall encamp around it.
Mais tu préposeras les Lévites au tabernacle du statut, à tout son attirail et à tout ce qui le concerne: ce sont eux qui porteront le tabernacle et tout son attirail, eux qui en feront le service, et qui doivent camper à l’entour.
51 When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
Quand le tabernacle devra partir, ce sont les Lévites qui le démonteront, et quand il devra s’arrêter, ce sont eux qui le dresseront; le profane qui en approcherait serait frappé de mort.
52 The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their divisions.
Les enfants d’Israël se fixeront chacun dans son camp et chacun sous sa bannière, selon leurs légions;
53 But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel. The Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”
et les Lévites camperont autour du tabernacle du statut, afin que la colère divine ne sévisse point sur la communauté des enfants d’Israël; et les Lévites auront sous leur garde le tabernacle du statut."
54 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so they did.
Les Israélites obéirent: tout ce que l’Éternel avait ordonné à Moïse, ils s’y conformèrent.
