Numbers 3
1 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
耶和华在西奈山晓谕摩西的日子，亚伦和摩西的后代如下：
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
亚伦的儿子，长子名叫拿答，还有亚比户、以利亚撒、以他玛。
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
这是亚伦儿子的名字，都是受膏的祭司，是摩西叫他们承接圣职供祭司职分的。
4 Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD when they offered strange fire before the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.
拿答、亚比户在西奈的旷野向耶和华献凡火的时候就死在耶和华面前了。他们也没有儿子。以利亚撒、以他玛在他们的父亲亚伦面前供祭司的职分。
5 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
“你使利未支派近前来，站在祭司亚伦面前好服事他，
7 They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
替他和会众在会幕前守所吩咐的，办理帐幕的事。
8 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
又要看守会幕的器具，并守所吩咐以色列人的，办理帐幕的事。
9 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
你要将利未人给亚伦和他的儿子，因为他们是从以色列人中选出来给他的。
10 You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood, but the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
你要嘱咐亚伦和他的儿子谨守自己祭司的职任。近前来的外人必被治死。”
11 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
12 “Behold, I have taken the Levites from amongst the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb amongst the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine,
“我从以色列人中拣选了利未人，代替以色列人一切头生的；利未人要归我。
13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am the LORD.”
因为凡头生的是我的；我在埃及地击杀一切头生的那日就把以色列中一切头生的，连人带牲畜都分别为圣归我；他们定要属我。我是耶和华。”
14 The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
耶和华在西奈的旷野晓谕摩西说：
15 “Count the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward.”
“你要照利未人的宗族、家室数点他们。凡一个月以外的男子都要数点。”
16 Moses counted them according to the LORD’s word, as he was commanded.
于是摩西照耶和华所吩咐的数点他们。

耶和华晓谕摩西说：
45 “Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn amongst the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am the LORD.
“你拣选利未人代替以色列人所有头生的，也取利未人的牲畜代替以色列人的牲畜。利未人要归我；我是耶和华。
46 For the redemption of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel who exceed the number of the Levites,
以色列人中头生的男子比利未人多二百七十三个，必当将他们赎出来。
47 you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; according to the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
你要按人丁，照圣所的平，每人取赎银五舍客勒（一舍客勒是二十季拉），
48 and you shall give the money, with which their remainder is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons.”
把那多余之人的赎银交给亚伦和他的儿子。”

于是摩西从那被利未人所赎以外的人取了赎银。
50 from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand and three hundred and sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary;
从以色列人头生的所取之银，按圣所的平，有一千三百六十五舍客勒。
