< Numbers 3 >

1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
وَهَذِهِ هِيَ مَوَالِيدُ هَروُنَ وَمُوسَى يَوْمَ خَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ:١
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
هَذِهِ هِيَ أَسْمَاءُ أَبْنَاءِ هَرُونَ: نَادَابُ الْبِكْرُ، وَأَبِيهُو، وَأَلِعَازَارُ، وَإِيثَامَارُ،٢
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.
الَّذِينَ كَانُوا كَهَنَةً مَمْسُوحِينَ تَكَرَّسُوا لِلْكَهَنُوتِ.٣
4 Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah, when they offered strange fire before Jehovah, 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.
إِلاَّ أَنَّ نَادَابَ وَأَبِيهُو مَاتَا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الرَّبِّ عِنْدَمَا قَرَّبَا نَاراً غَرِيبَةً أَمَامَهُ فِي صَحْرَاءِ سِينَاءَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمَا بَنُون. وَأَمَّا أَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ فَقَدْ قَامَا بِخِدْمَةِ الْكَهَنُوتِ تَحْتَ رِعَايَةِ أَبِيهِمَا هَرُونَ.٤
5 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:٥
6 "Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
«أَحْضِرْ سِبْطَ لاَوِي لِيَمْثُلُوا أَمَامَ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ وَيَخْدِمُوهُ.٦
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.
وَيُحَافِظُوا عَلَى شَعَائِرِهِ وَشَعَائِرِ كُلِّ الشَّعْبِ أَمَامَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَيَقُومُوا بِخِدْمَةِ الْمَسْكَنِ،٧
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.
وَيَحْرُسُوا كُلَّ أَمْتِعَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَيَنُوبُوا عَنِ الشَّعْبِ فِي تَأْدِيَةِ وَاجِبَاتِ خِدْمَةِ الْمَسْكَنِ.٨
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.
وَلْيَكُنِ اللاَّوِيُّونَ تَحْتَ إِمْرَةِ هَرُونَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ هِبَةً لَهُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.٩
10 And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall attend to their priesthood; but the unauthorized person who comes near shall be put to death."
أَمَّا هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ فَهُمْ وَحْدُهُمْ يَقُومُونَ بِخِدْمَةِ الْكَهَنُوتِ، وَأَيُّ وَاحِدٍ سِوَاهُمْ يَقْتَرِبُ مِنَ الْمَقْدِسِ يُقْتَلُ».١٠
11 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:١١
12 "Look, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine:
«هَا إِنِّي قَدْ أَفْرَزْتُ اللاَّوِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بَدَلاً مِنْ أَبْكَارِ الشَّعْبِ، فَيَكُونُ اللاَّوِيُّونَ خَاصَّتِي،١٢
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 Jehovah."
لأَنَّ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ لِي. فَقَدْ أَفْرَزْتُ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ مُنْذُ أَنْ أَهْلَكْتُ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ. لِي يَكُونُونَ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ».١٣
14 Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى فِي صَحْرَاءِ سِينَاءَ:١٤
15 "Count the descendants of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward."
«أَحْصِ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ سِبْطِ لاَوِي مِنِ ابْنِ شَهْرٍ فَمَا فَوْقُ، حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ وَعَشَائِرِهِمْ».١٥
16 Moses numbered them according to the word of Jehovah, as he was commanded.
فَأَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَفْقاً لأَمْرِ الرَّبِّ.١٦
17 These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
وَهَذِهِ هِيَ أَسْمَاءُ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي: جَرْشُونُ وَقَهَاتُ وَمَرَارِي.١٧
18 These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.
أَمَّا اسْمَا ابْنَيْ جَرْشُونَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمَا، فَهُمَا: لِبْنِي وَشِمْعِي١٨
19 The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
وَبَنُو قَهَاتَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ هُمْ: عَمْرَامُ وَيِصْهَارُ وَحَبْرُونُ وَعُزِّيئِيلُ.١٩
20 The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.
وَابْنَا مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمَا هُمَا مَحْلِي وَمُوشِي. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ اللاَّوِيِّينَ وَفْقاً لِبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ.٢٠
21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
فَقَدْ تَفَرَّعَ عَنْ جَرْشُونَ عَشِيرَتَا اللِّبْنِيِّينَ وَالشِّمْعِيِّينَ. هَاتَانِ هُمَا عَشِيرَتَا الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ.٢١
22 Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those who were numbered of them were seven thousand five hundred.
وَكَانَ عَدَدُ الذُّكُورِ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنْهُمَا مِنِ ابْنِ شَهْرٍ وَمَا فَوْقُ، سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ.٢٢
23 The families of the Gershonites shall camp behind the tabernacle westward.
وَقَدْ خَيَّمَتْ عَشِيرَتَا الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ وَرَاءَ الْمَسْكَنِ إِلَى الْغَرْبِ،٢٣
24 The prince of the fathers' house of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
وَكَانَ رَئِيسُهُمَا أَلِيَاسَافَ بْنَ لاَيِلَ٢٤
25 The duty of the sons of Gershon in the Tent of Meeting shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, its covering, and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
وَعُهِدَ إِلَى الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ بِحِرَاسَةِ الْمَسْكَنِ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَالْخَيْمَةِ وَغِطَائِهَا وَسَتَائِرِ بَابِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ،٢٥
26 and the curtaining of the court, and the screen for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and around the altar, and its cords for all of its service.
وَسَتَائِرِ الدَّارِ وَسِتَارَةِ بَابِ الدَّارِ الَّتِي حَوْلَ الْمَسْكَنِ وَحَوْلَ جَوَانِبِ الْمَذْبَحِ وَحِبَالِهِ مَعَ كُلِّ خِدْمَتِهِ.٢٦
27 Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.
وَتَفَرَّعَ عَنْ قَهَاتَ عَشَائِرُ الْعَمْرَامِيِّينَ وَالْيِصْهَارِيِّينَ وَالْحَبْرُونِيِّينَ وَالْعُزِّيئِيلِيِّينَ. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ.٢٧
28 According to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand six hundred, keeping the requirements of the sanctuary.
فَكَانَ عَدَدُ الذُّكُورِ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنْهُمْ مِنِ ابْنِ شَهْرٍ فَمَا فَوْقُ، ثَمَانِيَةَ آلافٍ وَسِتَّ مِئَةٍ. وَمُهِمَّتُهُمْ حِرَاسَةُ الْقُدْسِ.٢٨
29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall camp on the south side of the tabernacle.
وَتُخَيِّمُ عَشَائِرُ بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي جَنُوبِيِّ الْمَسْكَنِ،٢٩
30 The prince of the fathers' house of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

31 Their duty shall be the ark, the table, the lamp stand, the altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the screen, and all its service.
وَهُمْ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ حِرَاسَةَ التَّابُوتِ وَالْمَائِدَةِ وَالْمَنَارَةِ وَالْمَذْبَحَيْنِ وَأَمْتِعَةِ الْقُدْسِ الَّتِي يَخْدُمُونَ بِهَا، وَالْحِجَابِ وَكُلِّ مَا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِهِ.٣١
32 Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief of the leaders of the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the requirements of the sanctuary.
أَمَّا رَئِيسُ رُؤَسَاءِ اللاَّوِيِّينَ أَلِعَازَارُ بْنُ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ فَيَتَوَلَّى أَيْضاً أَمْرَ حُرَّاسِ حِرَاسَةِ الْقُدْسِ.٣٢
33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites. These are the families of Merari.
وَتَفَرَّعَ عَنْ مَرَارِي عَشِيرَتَا الْمَحْلِيِّينَ وَالْمُوشِيِّينَ. هَاتَانِ هُمَا عَشِيرَتَا مَرَارِي.٣٣
34 Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred.
فَكَانَ عَدَدُ الذُّكُورِ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنْهُمَا مِنِ ابْنِ شَهْرٍ فَمَا فَوْقُ، سِتَّةَ آلافٍ وَمِئَتَيْنِ،٣٤

36 The appointed duty of the sons of Merari shall be the tabernacle's boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, all its instruments, all its service,
وَمُهِمَّةُ أَبْنَاءِ مَرَارِي حِرَاسَةُ أَلْوَاحِ الْمَسْكَنِ وَعَوَارِضِهِ وَقَوَاعِدِهَا وَكُلِّ أَوَانِيهِ وَالْعِنَايَةُ بِهَا،٣٦

38 Those who camp before the tabernacle eastward, in front of the Tent of Meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the requirements of the sanctuary for the duty of the children of Israel. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
أَمَّا مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ فَيَنْزِلُونَ قُدَّامَ الْمَسْكَنِ إِلَى الشَّرْقِ لِيَقُومُوا بِحِرَاسَةِ الْمَقْدِسِ نِيَابَةً عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَيُّ وَاحِدٍ سِوَاهُمْ يَقْتَرِبُ مِنْهُ يُقْتَلُ.٣٨
39 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
فَكَانَ مَجْمُوعُ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنْ ذُكُورِ اللاَّوِيِّينَ مِنِ ابْنِ شَهْرٍ فَمَا فَوْقُ، الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ، اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً.٣٩
40 Jehovah said to Moses, "Number all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «أَحْصِ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ ذَكَرٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنِ ابْنِ شَهْرٍ فَمَا فَوْقُ، وَدَوِّنْ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ جَمِيعاً،٤٠
41 You shall take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel."
فَتَفْرِزُ لِيَ اللاَّوِيِّينَ، أَنَا الرَّبُّ، لِيَكُونُوا لِي بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكَذَلِكَ بَهَائِمَ اللاَّوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَهَائِمِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».٤١
42 Moses numbered, as Jehovah commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
فَأَحْصَى مُوسَى أَبْكَارَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ،٤٢
43 All the firstborn males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those who were numbered of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
فَكَانَ مَجْمُوعُ عَدَدِ الذُّكُورِ الأَبْكَارِ الْمُحْصَيْنَ، كُلٍّ بِاسْمِهِ، مِنِ ابْنِ شَهْرٍ فَمَا فَوْقُ، اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَثَلاَثَةً وَسَبْعِينَ.٤٣
44 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:٤٤
45 "Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am Jehovah.
«أَفْرِزِ اللاَّوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكَذَلِكَ بَهَائِمَ اللاَّوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ بَهَائِمِهِمْ، فَيَكُونَ اللاَّوِيُّونَ خَاصَّتِي، أَنَا الرَّبَّ.٤٥
46 For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, who exceed the number of the Levites,
وَأَمَّا فِدَاءُ الْمِئَتَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثَةِ وَالسَّبْعِينَ مِنْ أَبْكَارِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الزَّائِدِينَ عَنْ عَدَدِ اللاَّوِيِّينَ،٤٦
47 you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; after the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs):
فَتَأْخُذُ عَنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ خَمْسَةَ شَوَاقِلَ (نَحْوَ سِتِّينَ جْرَاماً) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَفْقاً لِلْوَزْنِ الْمُعْتَمَدِ فِي الْقُدْسِ فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ عِشْرِينَ جِيرَةً مُعَادِلَةً لِشَاقِلٍ (أَيْ لاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ جْرَاماً).٤٧
48 and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons."
وَتُعْطِي الْفِضَّةَ لِهَرُونَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ فِدْيَةً عَنِ الأَبْكَارِ الزَّائِدِينَ عَنْ عَدَدِ اللاَّوِيِّينَ»٤٨
49 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
فَجَمَعَ مُوسَى فِضَّةَ الْفِدْيَةِ مِنَ الزَّائِدِينَ عَنْ عَدَدِ اللاَّوِيِّينَ فِدَاءً لَهُمْ.٤٩
50 from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
جَبَاهَا مِنْ أَبْكَارِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَكَانَتْ أَلْفاً وَثَلاَثَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَسِتِّينَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ عَلَى شَاقِلِ الْقُدْسِ (نَحْوَ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ كِيلُو جْرَاماً وَثُلْثٍ).٥٠
51 and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
وَأَعْطَى مُوسَى فِضَّةَ الْفِدْيَةِ لِهَرُونَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ.٥١
