Numbers 4
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
TUHAN menyuruh Musa dan Harun
2 “Take a total of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the Levites, by their houses and families,
mengadakan sensus orang Lewi dari kaum Kehat menurut keluarga masing-masing,
3 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, of all who enter so as to stand and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
lalu mencatat nama semua orang laki-laki yang berumur tiga puluh sampai lima puluh tahun, yang mampu melakukan wajib kerja di Kemah TUHAN.
4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath: the tabernacle of the covenant and the Holy of holies.
Pekerjaan mereka ialah mengurus barang-barang yang mahasuci.
5 Aaron and his sons shall enter, when the camp is going to move, and they shall take down the veil, which hangs before the entrance, and they shall wrap the ark of the testimony in it,
TUHAN memberi kepada Musa peraturan ini: Kalau sudah waktunya membongkar perkemahan, Harun dan anak-anaknya harus masuk ke Kemah TUHAN, menurunkan tirai di depan Peti Perjanjian, dan menutupi Peti itu dengan kain itu.
6 and they shall cover it further with a veil of violet skins, and they shall extend over it a cloth made entirely of hyacinth, and they shall draw in the bars.
Sesudahnya, mereka harus menutupinya lagi dengan sehelai kulit halus, lalu membentangkan sehelai kain biru di atasnya, dan memasang kayu pengusung Peti itu.
7 Likewise, they shall wrap the table of the presence in a cloth of hyacinth, and they shall place with it the censers and little mortars, the cups and bowls for pouring out libations; the bread shall be always on it.
Mereka harus membentangkan sehelai kain biru di atas meja tempat roti sajian untuk TUHAN, dan di atas meja itu harus mereka letakkan pinggan, baki tempat dupa, baki tempat persembahan, dan kendi untuk persembahan air anggur. Roti sajian harus selalu ada di meja itu.
8 And they shall extend over it a cloth of scarlet, which they shall further cover with a veil of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Mereka harus menutupi semuanya itu dengan sehelai kain merah, lalu membentangkan sehelai kulit halus di atasnya, dan memasang kayu pengusung meja itu.
9 They shall take also a cloth of hyacinth, with which they shall cover the lampstand with the lamps, and its tongs, and the candle snuffers, and all the vessels of oil, which are necessary for the preparation of the lamps.
Mereka harus mengambil sehelai kain biru dan menutupi kaki lampu serta lampu-lampunya, alat untuk membersihkan sumbu pelita dan penadahnya, dan semua tempat minyak zaitun.
10 And over all this they shall place a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Kaki lampu dan seluruh perlengkapannya harus mereka bungkus dengan sehelai kulit halus lalu menaruhnya di atas tempat pengusungan.
11 And certainly they shall wrap the golden altar in a hyacinth garment, and they shall extend over it a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Sesudah itu mereka harus membentangkan sehelai kain biru di atas mezbah dari emas itu, dan menutupinya dengan sehelai kulit halus, lalu memasang kayu pengusung mezbah itu.
12 All the vessels with which they minister in the Sanctuary they shall wrap in a cloth of hyacinth, and they shall extend over it a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Segala peralatan yang dipakai di dalam Ruang Suci harus mereka ambil dan bungkus dengan sehelai kain biru. Lalu mereka harus menutupinya dengan sehelai kulit halus, dan menaruhnya di atas usungan.
13 Moreover, they shall cleanse the altar of ashes, and they shall wrap it in a purple garment,
Mereka harus membersihkan mezbah itu dari abu, lalu membentangkan sehelai kain ungu di atasnya.
14 and they shall place it with all the vessels which they use in its ministry, that is, receptacles for fire, small hooks as well as forks, larger hooks and shovels. They shall cover all the vessels of the altar together with a veil of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Dan di atas itu harus mereka letakkan semua peralatan yang dipakai dalam ibadat pada mezbah itu: tempat api, garpu, penyodok, dan baskom. Lalu mereka harus menutupi semuanya itu dengan sehelai kulit halus dan memasang kayu pengusungnya.
15 And when Aaron and his sons have wrapped the Sanctuary and its vessels at the dismantling of the camp, then the sons of Kohath shall enter, so as to carry what has been wrapped. And they shall not touch the vessels of the Sanctuary, lest they die. These are the burdens of the sons of Kohath concerning the tabernacle of the covenant.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun, "Pada waktu kamu membongkar perkemahan, Harun dan anak-anaknya harus masuk ke dalam Kemah-Ku dan menutupi semua barang dan perlengkapan yang ada di situ. Baru sesudah itu, orang-orang Kehat boleh datang untuk memikulnya. Tetapi mereka tak boleh melihat, mendekati atau menyentuh benda-benda itu, karena sudah dikhususkan untuk-Ku. Kalau mereka melakukannya juga, mereka akan mati. Jadi, supaya orang-orang Kehat itu jangan terhapus dari suku Lewi, Harun dan anak-anaknya harus menugaskan masing-masing di antara mereka apa yang harus mereka bawa. Itulah tugas orang Kehat pada waktu Kemah-Ku dipindahkan. Eleazar, anak Harun, bertanggung jawab atas seluruh Kemah-Ku, minyak lampu, dupa, kurban gandum untuk sajian tetap, minyak upacara dan semua yang ada di dalam Kemah-Ku itu."
16 Over them shall be Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, to whom belongs the care of the oil to prepare the lamps, and the incense compound, and the sacrifice, which is offered continually, and the oil of unction, and whatever pertains to the service of the tabernacle, and all the vessels that are in the Sanctuary.”
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
18 “Do not be willing to lose the people of Kohath from the midst of the Levites.
19 But do this for them, so that they may live, and so that they may not die by touching the Holies of holies. Aaron and his sons shall enter, and they shall assign the work of each one, and they shall determine what each one ought to carry.
20 Let no others, out of curiosity, see the things that are in the Sanctuary before they are wrapped, otherwise they shall die.”
21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
TUHAN menyuruh Musa
22 “Now also take a total of the sons of Gershon, by their houses and families and kinships,
mengadakan sensus orang Lewi dari kaum Gerson menurut keluarga masing-masing.
23 from thirty years and above, even to fifty years. Number all those who enter and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
Musa harus mencatat nama semua orang laki-laki yang berumur tiga puluh sampai lima puluh tahun yang mampu melakukan wajib kerja di Kemah TUHAN.
24 This is the duty of the family of the Gershonites:
Mereka ditugaskan untuk mengangkut barang-barang ini:
25 to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the roof of the covenant, the other covering, and the veil over everything, and the violet tent, which hangs at the entrance of the tabernacle of the covenant,
Kain tenda Kemah itu dengan tutupnya bagian dalam dan bagian luar dari kulit halus, kain di pintu Kemah,
26 the curtains of the atrium, and the veil at the entrance, which is before tabernacle. Everything that pertains to the altar, the cords, and the vessels of the ministry
layar-layar dan tali temalinya untuk pelataran di sekitar Kemah dan mezbah, kain di gerbang pelataran, dan semua perlengkapan yang dipakai untuk memasang semua benda itu. Mereka bertanggung jawab atas semua pekerjaan yang berhubungan dengan barang-barang itu.
27 the sons of Gershon shall carry, under the orders of Aaron and his sons. And so shall each one know to which burden he ought to surrender.
Musa dan Harun harus mengawasi supaya pekerjaan yang diserahkan Harun dan anak-anaknya kepada orang-orang Gerson itu dilaksanakan, dan semua barang yang harus diangkut, agar diangkut.
28 This is the service of the family of the Gershonites, in the tabernacle of the covenant, and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
Itulah tugas orang-orang Gerson di dalam Kemah; tugas-tugas itu harus dilaksanakan di bawah pimpinan Itamar, anak Imam Harun.
29 Likewise, you shall take a census of the sons of Merari, by the families and houses of their fathers,
TUHAN menyuruh Musa mengadakan sensus orang Lewi dari kaum Merari menurut keluarga masing-masing.
30 from thirty years and above, even to fifty years, of all who enter to the office of their ministry and to the service of the covenant of the testimony.
Musa harus mencatat nama semua orang laki-laki yang berumur tiga puluh sampai lima puluh tahun yang mampu melakukan wajib kerja di Kemah TUHAN.
31 These are their burdens: They shall carry the panels of the tabernacle and its bars, the columns and their bases,
Mereka ditugaskan untuk mengangkut rangka-rangka Kemah itu, balok-baloknya, tiang-tiangnya dan alasnya.
32 also the columns surrounding the atrium, with their bases and tent pegs and cords. They shall accept by number all the vessels and articles, and so shall they carry them.
Juga tiang-tiang pelataran sekeliling Kemah itu serta alasnya, patok-patoknya dan tali temalinya dengan segala perkakas yang diperlukan untuk menegakkannya. Setiap orang ditugaskan membawa barang-barang tertentu.
33 This is the office of the family of the Merarites, and their ministry for the tabernacle of the covenant. And they shall be under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.”
Itulah tugas-tugas kaum Merari; semua pekerjaan mereka di Kemah TUHAN harus dilakukan di bawah pimpinan Itamar, anak Imam Harun.
34 Therefore, Moses and Aaron, and the leaders of the assembly, took a census of the sons of Kohath, by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN, Musa, Harun dan para pemimpin umat mengadakan sensus dari ketiga kaum dalam suku Lewi, yaitu Kehat, Gerson dan Merari. Mereka melakukan sensus itu keluarga demi keluarga. Mereka mencatat nama semua orang laki-laki yang berumur tiga puluh sampai lima puluh tahun yang mampu melakukan tugas wajib kerja di Kemah TUHAN. Inilah hasilnya: (Kaum-Jumlah orang), Kehat-2.750, Gerson-2.630, Merari-3.200; Seluruhnya: 8.580.
35 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, of all who enter to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant.
36 And there were found two thousand seven hundred fifty.
37 This is the number of the people of Kohath, who enter the tabernacle of the covenant. These Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
38 The sons of Gershon also were numbered by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
39 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, all who enter so as to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
40 And there were found two thousand six hundred thirty.
41 This is the people of the Gershonites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord.
42 The sons of Merari also were numbered by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
43 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, all who enter to fulfill the rituals of the tabernacle of the covenant.
44 And there were found three thousand two hundred.
45 This is the number of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron counted according to the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
46 All who were counted from the Levites, and whom, by name, Moses and Aaron, and the leaders of Israel, counted by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
47 from thirty years and above, until the fiftieth year, entering for the ministry of the tabernacle and carrying the burdens,
48 were together eight thousand five hundred eighty.
49 Moses took a census of them, according to the word of the Lord, each one according to their office and their burdens, just as the Lord had instructed him.
Atas perintah TUHAN melalui Musa, setiap orang didaftarkan dan diberi tanggung jawabnya masing-masing atas apa yang harus dilayaninya atau apa yang harus dipikulnya.
