< Numbers 10 >

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西說:
2 “Make two shofars of silver. You shall make them of beaten work. You shall use them for the calling of the congregation and for the journeying of the camps.
「你要用銀子做兩枝號,都要錘出來的,用以招聚會眾,並叫眾營起行。
3 When they blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
吹這號的時候,全會眾要到你那裏,聚集在會幕門口。
4 If they blow just one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.
若單吹一枝,眾首領,就是以色列軍中的統領,要聚集到你那裏。
5 When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall go forward.
吹出大聲的時候,東邊安的營都要起行。
6 When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall go forward. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
二次吹出大聲的時候,南邊安的營都要起行。他們將起行,必吹出大聲。
7 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.
但招聚會眾的時候,你們要吹號,卻不要吹出大聲。
8 “The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the shofars. This shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.
亞倫子孫作祭司的要吹這號;這要作你們世世代代永遠的定例。
9 When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the shofars. Then you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.
你們在自己的地,與欺壓你們的敵人打仗,就要用號吹出大聲,便在耶和華-你們的上帝面前得蒙紀念,也蒙拯救脫離仇敵。
10 “Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the shofars over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God. I am the LORD your God.”
在你們快樂的日子和節期,並月朔,獻燔祭和平安祭,也要吹號,這都要在你們的上帝面前作為紀念。我是耶和華-你們的上帝。」
11 In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the covenant.
第二年二月二十日,雲彩從法櫃的帳幕收上去。
12 The children of Israel went forward on their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud stayed in the wilderness of Paran.
以色列人就按站往前行,離開西奈的曠野,雲彩停住在巴蘭的曠野。
13 They first went forward according to the commandment of the LORD by Moses.

摩西對他岳父-米甸人流珥的兒子何巴-說:「我們要行路,往耶和華所應許之地去;他曾說:『我要將這地賜給你們。』現在求你和我們同去,我們必厚待你,因為耶和華指着以色列人已經應許給好處。」
30 He said to him, “I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives.”
何巴回答說:「我不去;我要回本地本族那裏去。」
31 Moses said, “Don’t leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.
摩西說:「求你不要離開我們;因為你知道我們要在曠野安營,你可以當作我們的眼目。
32 It shall be, if you go with us—yes, it shall be—that whatever good the LORD does to us, we will do the same to you.”
你若和我們同去,將來耶和華有甚麼好處待我們,我們也必以甚麼好處待你。」
33 They set forward from the Mount of the LORD three days’ journey. The ark of the LORD’s covenant went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them.

他們拔營往前行,日間有耶和華的雲彩在他們以上。
35 When the ark went forward, Moses said, “Rise up, LORD, and let your enemies be scattered! Let those who hate you flee before you!”
約櫃往前行的時候,摩西就說:「耶和華啊,求你興起!願你的仇敵四散!願恨你的人從你面前逃跑!」
36 When it rested, he said, “Return, LORD, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.”
約櫃停住的時候,他就說:「耶和華啊,求你回到以色列的千萬人中!」
