Numbers 1

1 The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

در روز اولِ ماه دوم از سال دوم، بعد از بیرون آمدن قوم اسرائیل از مصر، زمانی که قوم در بیابان سینا اردو زده بودند، خداوند در خیمهٔ ملاقات به موسی فرمود:

2 “Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, every male, one by one,

«تو و هارون به کمک رهبران هر قبیله، قوم اسرائیل را برحسب قبیله و خاندانشان سرشماری کنید و تمام مردان بیست ساله و بالاتر را که قادر به جنگیدن هستند بشمارید.» رهبرانی که از هر قبیله برای این کار تعیین شدند عبارت بودند از: الیصور (پسر شدی‌ئور)، از قبیلهٔ رئوبین؛ شلومی‌ئیل (پسر صوریشدای)، از قبیلهٔ شمعون؛ نحشون (پسر عمیناداب)، از قبیلهٔ یهودا؛ نتنائیل (پسر صوغر)، از قبیلهٔ یساکار؛ الی‌آب (پسر حیلون)، از قبیله زبولون؛ الیشمع (پسر عمیهود)، از قبیلهٔ افرایم، پسر یوسف؛ جملی‌ئیل (پسر فدهصور)، از قبیلهٔ منسی، پسر یوسف؛ ابیدان (پسر جدعونی)، از قبیلهٔ بنیامین؛ اخیعزر (پسر عمیشدای)، از قبیلهٔ دان؛ فجعی‌ئیل (پسر عکران)، از قبیلهٔ اشیر؛ الیاساف (پسر دعوئیل)، از قبیلهٔ جاد؛ اخیرع (پسر عینان)، از قبیلهٔ نفتالی.

3 from twenty years old and upward, all who are able to go out to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall count them by their divisions.

4 With you there shall be a man of every tribe, each one head of his fathers’ house.

5 These are the names of the men who shall stand with you: Of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur.

6 Of Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

7 Of Judah: Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

8 Of Issachar: Nethanel the son of Zuar.

16 These are those who were called of the congregation, the princes of the tribes of their fathers; they were the heads of the thousands of Israel.

اینها رهبرانی بودند که از میان قوم اسرائیل برای این کار انتخاب شدند.

17 Moses and Aaron took these men who are mentioned by name.

در همان روز موسی و هارون همراه رهبران قبایل، تمام مردان بیست ساله و بالاتر را برای اسم‌نویسی فرا خواندند و همان‌طور که خداوند به موسی امر فرموده بود هر مرد برحسب خاندان و خانواده‌اش اسم‌نویسی شد.

18 They assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they declared their ancestry by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, one by one.

19 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he counted them in the wilderness of Sinai.

20 The children of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, one by one, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war:

نتیجهٔ نهایی سرشماری از این قرار است: از قبیلهٔ رئوبین (پسر نخست‌زاده یعقوب) ۴۶٬۵۰۰ نفر، از قبیلهٔ شمعون ۵۹٬۳۰۰ نفر، از قبیلهٔ جاد ۴۵٬۶۵۰ نفر، از قبیلهٔ یهودا ۷۴٬۶۰۰ نفر، از قبیلهٔ یساکار ۵۴٬۴۰۰ نفر، از قبیلهٔ زبولون ۵۷٬۴۰۰ نفر، از قبیلهٔ افرایم (پسر یوسف) ۴۰٬۵۰۰ نفر، از قبیلهٔ منسی (پسر یوسف) ۳۲٬۲۰۰ نفر، از قبیلهٔ بنیامین ۳۵٬۴۰۰ نفر، از قبیلهٔ دان ۶۲٬۷۰۰ نفر، از قبیلهٔ اشیر ۴۱٬۵۰۰ نفر، از قبیلهٔ نفتالی ۵۳٬۴۰۰ نفر، جمع کل ۶۰۳٬۵۵۰ نفر.

21 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Reuben, were forty-six thousand five hundred.

22 Of the children of Simeon, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, those who were counted of it, according to the number of the names, one by one, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war:

28 Of the children of Issachar, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war:

29 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty-four thousand four hundred.

30 Of the children of Zebulun, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war:

31 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.

32 Of the children of Joseph: of the children of Ephraim, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war:

33 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand five hundred.

34 Of the children of Manasseh, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war:

35 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty-two thousand two hundred.

36 Of the children of Benjamin, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war:

37 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty-five thousand four hundred.

43 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty-three thousand four hundred.

44 These are those who were counted, whom Moses and Aaron counted, and the twelve men who were princes of Israel, each one for his fathers’ house.

45 So all those who were counted of the children of Israel by their fathers’ houses, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war in Israel—

46 all those who were counted were six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty.

47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not counted among them.

این سرشماری شامل مردان لاوی نمی‌شد، چون خداوند به موسی فرموده بود: «تمام قبیلهٔ لاوی را از خدمت نظام معاف کن و ایشان را در این سرشماری منظور نکن؛

48 For the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

49 “Only the tribe of Levi you shall not count, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel;

50 but appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of it, and shall encamp around it.

زیرا وظیفهٔ لاویان انجام امور خیمهٔ عبادت، و جابه‌جایی آن است. ایشان باید در اطراف خیمهٔ عبادت زندگی کنند.

51 When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

هنگام جابه‌جایی خیمهٔ عبادت لاویان باید آن را جمع کنند و دوباره آن را بر پا سازند. هر کس دیگری به آن دست بزند کشته خواهد شد.

52 The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their divisions.

هر یک از قبایل اسرائیل باید دارای اردوگاه جداگانه‌ای بوده، پرچم خاص خود را داشته باشند.

53 But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel. The Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”

لاویان باید گرداگرد خیمهٔ عبادت خیمه زنند تا مبادا کسی به خیمهٔ عبادت نزدیک شده، سبب نازل شدن غضب خداوند بر جماعت بنی‌اسرائیل شود.»

54 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they did.

پس قوم اسرائیل آنچه را که خداوند به موسی امر فرموده بود، انجام دادند.
