Numbers 3
1 These are some of the things that happened to Aaron and Moses/me when Yahweh spoke to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain.
ヱホバ、シナイ山に於てモーセと語ひたまへる日にはアロンとモーセの一族左のごとくにてありき
2 Aaron’s four sons were Nadab the oldest, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
アロンの子孫は是のごとし長子はナダブ次はアビウ、エレアザル、イタマル
3 They were appointed [MTY] (OR, Moses/I appointed them) to be priests.
是すなはちアロンの子等の名なり彼等は皆膏そそがれ祭司の職に任ぜられて祭司となれり
4 But, while Yahweh was watching, Nadab and Abihu died in the Sinai Desert because they burned [incense] in a manner that was different from what Yahweh had commanded. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar were the [only] sons of Aaron who [were left to be] priests, along with their father Aaron.
ナダブとアビウはシナイの野にて異火をヱホバの前に献たる時にヱホバの前に死り子なしエレアザルとイタマルはその父アロンの目の前にて祭司の職を爲り
5 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
ヱホバまたモーセに告て言たまはく
6 “Bring [the men of] the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron, in order that they may assist him.
レビの支派を召よせ祭司アロンの前に侍りてこれに事へしめよ
7 They will serve Aaron and all the other Israeli people, while they do their work inside the Sacred Tent and outside it.
彼らは集會の幕屋の前にありてアロンの職と全會衆の職に替り幕屋の役事をなすべきなり
8 They must serve all the Israeli people by taking care of all the things that are inside the Sacred Tent.
すなはち彼等は集會の幕屋の諸の器具を看守イスラエルの子孫の職に替りて幕屋の役事をなすべし
9 Appoint them to [help] Aaron and his two sons. I have chosen them from all the Israeli people to do that.
汝レビ人をアロンとその子等に與ふべしイスラエルの子孫の中より彼等は全くアロンに與へられたる者なり
10 Appoint Aaron and his two sons to do the work that priests do. But anyone else who comes close to the Sacred Tent [to do that work] must be executed.”
汝アロンとその子等を立て祭司の職を行はしむべし外人の近づく者は殺されん
11 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
ヱホバすなはちモーセに告て言たまはく
12 “Note that from all the Israelis, I have chosen the men of the tribe of Levi to take the places of all the firstborn sons of the Israeli people. The male descendants of Levi belong to me,
視よ我イスラエルの子孫の中なる始に生れたる者すなはち首出の代にレビ人をイスラエルの子孫の中より取り
13 because truly all the firstborn [males] belong to me. That is because on the day that I killed all the firstborn [sons] of the people of Egypt, I [spared] all the firstborn [sons] of the Israelis and set them apart for myself. I also set apart the firstborn [males] of your domestic animals. They belong to me, Yahweh.”
首出はすべて吾が有なり我エジプトの國の中の首出をことごとく撃ころせる時イスラエルの首出を人も畜もことごとく聖別て我に歸せしめたり是はわが有となるべし我はヱホバなり
14 Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again in the Sinai Desert. He said,
ヱホバ、シナイの野にてモーセに告ていひたまはく
15 “Count the male members of the tribe of Levi. Write down their names and the names of their clans and family groups. Count all the males who are at least one month old.”
汝レビの子孫をその父祖の家に依りその宗族にしたがひて核數よ即ちその一箇月以上の男子を核數べし
16 So Moses/I counted them, just as Yahweh commanded.
是においてモーセ、ヱホバの言に循ひてその命ぜられしごとくに之を核數たり
17 Levi had [three] sons, whose names were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
レビの子等の名は左のごとしゲルシヨン、コハテ、メラリ
18 Gershon had [two] sons: Libni and Shimei. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons.
ゲルシヨンの子等の名はその宗族によれば左の如しリブニ、シメイ
19 Kohath had [four] sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [four] sons.
コハテの子等の名はその宗族に依ば左のごとしアムラム、イヅハル、ヘブロン、ウジエル
20 Merari had [two] sons: Mahli and Mushi. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons. Those are the clans that were descended from Levi.
メラリの子等の名はその宗族によればマヘリ、ムシなりレビ人の宗族はその父祖の家に依ば是のごとくなり
21 The two clans descended from Gershon are those that were descended from [his sons] Libni and Shimei.
ゲルシヨンよりリブニ人の族とシメイ人の族出たり是すなはちゲルシヨン人の族なり
22 In those two clans there were 7,500 males who were at least one month old.
その核數られし者の數すなはち一箇月以上の男子の數は都合七千五百人
23 They were told to set up their tents on the west side of the Sacred Tent.
ゲルシヨン人の族は凡て幕屋の後すなはち西の方に營を張べし
24 The leader of those two clans was Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
而してラエルの子エリアサフ、ゲルシヨン人の牧伯となるべし
25 Their work was to take care of the Sacred Tent, including the coverings of the tent, the curtain at the entrance of the tent,
集會の幕屋におけるゲルシヨンの子孫の職守は幕屋と天幕とその頂蓋および集會の幕屋の入口の幔と
26 the (curtains/large pieces of cloth) that formed the walls around the courtyard that is around the tent and around the altar, the curtains that were at the entrance of the courtyard, and the ropes [for fastening the tent]. They also did all the work of taking care of the things outside the Sacred Tent.
庭の幕および幕屋と壇の周圍なる庭の入口の幔ならびにその繩等凡て之に用ふる物を守るべき事なり
27 The clans that were descended from Kohath were those descended from his four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
またコハテよりアムラミ人の族イヅハリ人の族ヘブロン人の族ウジエリ人の族出たり是すなはちコハテ人の族なり
28 In those four clans there were 8,600 males who were at least one month old. The work of the men of the clans was to take care of [the things that are inside] the Sacred Tent.
一箇月以上の男子の數は都合八千六百人是みな聖所の職守を守るべき者なり
29 They set up their tents on the south side of the Sacred Tent.
コハテの子孫の族は凡て幕屋の南の方に營を張べし
30 The leader of those four clans was Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
而してウジエルの子エリザパン、コハテ人の族の牧伯となるべし
31 The work of the men of those clans was to take care of the sacred chest, the table [on which the priest put the sacred bread], the lampstand, the altars, all the items that the priest used in the Sacred Tent, and the curtain that is inside the tent. Their work was also to take care of the things inside the tent.
彼等の職守は律法の櫃案燈臺諸壇および聖所の役事に用ふる器具ならびに幔等凡て其處に用ふる物を守るべき事なり
32 Aaron’s son Eleazar was the leader of all the male descendants of Levi. He supervised all the work that was done at the Sacred Tent.
祭司アロンの子エレアザル、レビ人の牧伯の長となり且聖所の職を守る者を統轄るべし
33 The clans that were descended from Merari were those descended from [his sons] Mahli and Mushi.
又メラリよりマヘリ人の族とムシ人の族出たり是すなはちメラリの族なり
34 In those two clans there were 6,200 males who were at least one month old.
その核數られし者すなはち一箇月以上の男子の數は六千二百人
35 They were told to set up their tents on the north side of the Sacred Tent. The leader of those two clans was Zuriel, the son of Abihail.
アビハイルの子ツリエル、メラリの族の牧伯となり此族幕屋の北の方に營を張べし
36 The work of the men of those two clans was to take care of the frames that held up the tent, the crossbars, the pillars, and the bases. They also did all the work that was connected with those items.
メラリの子孫の管理るべき者職守とすべき者は幕屋の板とその横木その柱その座その諸の器具および其に用ふる一切の物
37 Their work was also to take care of the posts [that held up the curtains that formed the walls of] the courtyard, and all the bases, tent pegs, and ropes [that fastened those curtains].
ならびに庭の周圍の柱とその座その釘およびその繩なり
38 Aaron and Moses/I and Aaron’s sons were told to set up their/our tents in the area in front of the Sacred Tent, on the east side. Their/Our work was to supervise the work that would be done in and around the Sacred Tent, for the benefit of the Israeli people. Only the priests were permitted to do that. [Yahweh declared that] we should execute anyone else who went near the tent [to do the work that the priests do].
また幕屋の前その東の方すなはち集會の幕屋の東の方にはモーセとアロンおよびアロンの子等營を張りイスラエルの子孫の職守に代て聖所の職守を守るべし外人の近づく者は殺されん
39 When Aaron and Moses/I counted all the males who were at least one month old, who belonged to the clans descended from Levi, the total was 22,000.
モーセとアロン、ヱホバの言に依りレビ人を悉く核數たるに一箇月以上の男子の數二萬二千ありき
40 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now count all the [other] firstborn males in Israel who are at least one month old, and write down their names.
ヱホバまたモーセに言たまはく汝イスラエルの子孫の中の首出たる男子の一箇月以上なる者を盡く數へてその名の數を計れ
41 Also, set apart for me the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn males of the other Israelis. And set apart for me the livestock of the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn livestock of the other Israeli people.”
我はヱホバなり我ために汝レビ人を取りてイスラエルの子孫の中なる諸の首出子に代へまたレビ人の家畜を取てイスラエルの子孫の家畜の中なる諸の首出に代べし
42 So Moses/I did that. He/I counted the firstborn males of all the Israeli people, as Yahweh had commanded.
モーセすなはちヱホバの己に命じたまへるごとくにイスラエルの子孫の中なる首出子を盡く數へたり
43 The total of those who were at least one month old was 22,273.
その數へられし首出なる男子の一箇月以上なる者はその名の數に依ば都合二萬二千二百七十三人なりき
44 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
すなはちヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
45 “Set apart the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for [the firstborn males of] the other Israeli people. The descendants of Levi belong to me, Yahweh.
汝レビ人を取てイスラエルの子孫の中なる諸の首出子に代へまたレビ人の家畜を取て彼等の家畜に代よレビ人はわが所有とならん我はヱホバなり
46 There are 273 more firstborn males of the other Israeli people than of the descendants of Levi.
またイスラエルの子孫の首出子はレビ人より多きこと二百七十三人なれば是等をば贖ふべき者となし
47 To pay for these 273 males, collect five pieces of silver for each of them. Each of those pieces of silver must weigh the same as each of the silver coins that are stored in the Sacred Tent. Give this silver to Aaron and his sons.”
その頭數に依て一人ごとに五シケルを取べし即ち聖所のシケルに循ひて之を取べきなり一シケルは二十ゲラなり
汝その餘れる者の贖の金をアロンとその子等に付すべし
49 So Moses/I did that. He/I collected the silver from those 273 males.
是においてモーセ、レビ人をもて贖ひ餘せるところの者の贖の金を取り
50 The total was 1,365 pieces of silver. Each silver coin weighed the same as each of the silver coins stored in the Sacred Tent.
即ちモーセ、イスラエルの子孫の首出子の中より聖所のシケルにしたがひて金千三百六十五シケルを取り
51 Moses/I gave these silver coins to Aaron and his sons, as Yahweh had commanded.
その贖はるる者の金をヱホバの言にしたがひてアロンとその子等に付せりヱホバのモーセに命じたまひし如し
