Any layman who comes near shall be put to death.＂ 你要委任亚郎和他的儿子执行司祭的职务；俗人擅自走近，应处死刑。＂ 上主训示梅瑟说：＂ 12 ＂It is I who have chosen the Levites from the Israelites in place of every first-born that opens the womb among the Israelites. The Levites, therefore, are mine, 看，我由以色列子民中拣选了肋未人，以代替以色列子民中一切头胎的长子，所以肋未人应归于我， 13 because every first-born is mine. When I slew all the first-born in the 因为凡首生的，都是我的；自我在埃及国击杀了一切首生之日起，凡以色列首生的，无论是人或是兽，都应祝圣归我，属于我：我是上主。＂ 14 The LORD said to Moses in the 上主在西乃旷野训示梅瑟说：＂ 15 ＂Take a census of the Levites by ancestral houses and clans, registering every male of a month or more.＂ 你应依照肋未人的宗族和家系，统计肋未的子孙，由一月以上，所有的男性都应登记。＂ 16 Moses, therefore, took their census in accordance with the command the LORD had given him. 于是梅瑟就照上主吩咐的命令，统计了他们。 17 The sons of Levi were named Gershon, Kohath and Merari. 肋未儿子的名字是：革尔雄、刻哈特和默辣黎。 18 The descendants of Gershon, by clans, were named Libni and Shimei. 按族系，革尔雄儿子的名字是：里贝尼和史米。 19 The descendants of Kohath, by clans, were Amram, Izhar, 按族系，刻哈特的儿子是阿默兰和依兹哈尔，赫贝龙和乌齐耳。 20 The descendants of Merari, by clans, were Mahli and Mushi.

They discharged the obligations of the sanctuary for the Israelites. Any layman who came near was to be put to death. 在会幕前面东方，即在会幕前朝日出的一面扎营的，是梅瑟和亚郎其它的儿子；他们代替以色列民服务，管理圣所；俗人擅自走近，应处死刑。 39 The total number of male Levites a month old or more whom Moses had registered by clans in keeping with the LORD'S command, was twenty-two thousand. 梅瑟和亚郎照上主的命令，统计了所有的肋未人，按家族凡一月以上的男性都统计了，共计二万二千人。 40 The LORD then said to Moses, ＂Take a census of all the first-born males of the Israelites a month old or more, and compute their total number. 此后，上主又对梅瑟说：＂以色列子民，凡一月以上首生的男性都要统计，登记他们的姓名； 41 Then assign the Levites to me, the LORD, in place of all the first-born of the Israelites, as well as their cattle in place of all the first-born among the cattle of the Israelites.＂ 应将肋未人献于我，我是上主，以代替以色列子民中所有的长子；又将肋未人的牲畜献于我，以代替以色列子民中一切头胎的牲畜。＂ 42 So Moses took a census of all the first-born of the Israelites, as the LORD had commanded him. 梅瑟便照上主所吩咐的，统计了以色列子民中所有的长子， 43 When all the first-born males of a month or more were registered, they numbered twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three. 凡一月以上的头胎男儿，依名统计了，共计二万二千二百七十三人。 上主训示梅瑟说：＂ 45 ＂Take the Levites in place of all the first-born of the Israelites, and the Levites' cattle in place of their cattle, that the Levites may belong to me. I am the LORD. 你要以肋未人替代以色列子民中所有的长子，以肋未人的牲畜替代他们的头胎牲畜；肋未人应属于我：我是上主。 46 As ransom for the two hundred and seventy-three first-born of the Israelites who outnumber the Levites, 至于那超过肋未人数目，而应赎回的二百七十三个以色列子民的长子， 47 you shall take five shekels for each individual, according to the standard of the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel. 为每一个，应照圣所的＂协刻耳，＂征收五个＂协刻耳，＂──一＂协刻耳，＂合二十＂革辣；＂── 48 Give this silver to Aaron and his sons as ransom for the extra number.＂ 将这钱交给亚郎和他的儿子，作为超额人数的赎价。＂ 49 So Moses took the silver as ransom from those who were left when the rest had been redeemed by the Levites. 梅瑟就为那超过肋未人数而应赎回的人，征收了赎金。 50 From the first-born of the Israelites he received in silver one thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels according to the sanctuary standard. 由以色列民的长子所征收的银子，依圣所的＂协刻耳，＂共计一千三百六十五＂协刻耳。＂ 51 He then gave this ransom silver to Aaron and his sons, as the LORD had commanded him. 梅瑟依照上主的命令，将这赎金交给了亚郎和他的儿子，全照上主吩咐梅瑟的。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [25-26] The Gershonites had two wagons for transporting these things; cf Numbers 7:7.
