1 A nd these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses on mount Sinai.

وَهَذِهِ هِيَ عائِلَةُ هارُونَ وَمُوسَى حِينَ كَلَّمَ اللهُ مُوسَى عَلَى جَبَلِ سِيناءَ.

2 A nd these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

وَهَذِهِ هِيَ أسْماءُ أبناءِ هارُونَ: نادابُ الابنُ البِكرُ، ثُمَّ أبِيهُو وَألِيعازارُ وَإيثامارُ.

3 T hese are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, who were consecrated to exercise the priesthood.

هَذِهِ هِيَ أسْماءُ أبناءِ هارُونَ الَّذِينَ مُسِحُوا كَكَهَنَةٍ. وَقَدْ تَمَّ تَعيِينُهُمْ لِيَخدِمُوا كَكَهَنَةٍ.

4 A nd Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah when they offered strange fire before Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons; and Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the presence of Aaron their father.

وَلَكِنَّ نادابَ وَأبِيهُو ماتا بَينَما كانا يَخدِمانِ اللهَ حِينَ قَدَّما ناراً مِنْ مَصدَرٍ غَرِيبٍ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِيناءَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُما أبناءٌ. فَخَدَمَ ألِيعازارُ وَإيثامارُ كَكاهِنَينِ بَينَما كانَ هارُونُ حَيّاً. اللّاوِيُّونَ مُساعِدُو الكَهَنَة

5 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

وَكَلَّمَ اللهُ مُوسَى فَقالَ:

6 B ring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him;

«قَدِّمْ قَبِيلَةَ لاوِي لِهارُونَ الكاهِنِ كَي يُساعِدُوهُ.

7 a nd they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole assembly, before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.

فَلْيَخْدِمُوهُ وَيَخدِمُوا كُلَّ الجَماعَةِ أمامَ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ، وَيَقُومُوا بِالأعمالِ الصَّعبَةِ فِي المَسْكَنِ المُقَدَّسِ.

8 A nd they shall keep all the utensils of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

يَحرُسُونَ جَمِيعَ أدَواتِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ. يَمَثِّلُونَ بِذَلِكَ جَمِيعَ بَني إسْرائِيلَ. وَيَخْدِمُونَ فِي المَسْكَنِ.

9 A nd thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given to him out of the children of Israel.

«عَيِّنِ اللّاوِيِّينَ لِمُساعَدَةِ هارُونَ وَأبْنائِهِ. يَكُونُونَ مُكَرَّسينَ بِالكامِلِ لِهارُونَ مِنْ بَينِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ.

10 A nd Aaron and his sons shalt thou appoint that they may attend to their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.

«عَيِّنْ هارُونَ وَأبناءَهُ لِيَقُومُوا بِواجِباتِ الكَهَنُوتِ. كُلُّ مَنْ يَتَطَفَّلُ لِلقِيامِ بِعَمَلِ الكَهنُوتِ يُقْتَلُ.»

11 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

ثُمَّ قالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

12 A nd I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine;

«ها قَدْ أخَذْتُ اللّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ بَينِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ. بَدَلَ كُلِّ الأولادِ الأبْكارِ فِي بَني إسْرائِيلَ، فَسَيَكُونُ الَّلاوِيُّونَ لِي.

13 f or every firstborn is mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast; mine shall they be: I am Jehovah.

جَمِيعُ الأبْكارِ مِنَ النّاسِ وَالحَيواناتِ لِي. فَحِينَ قَتَلْتُ الأبْكارَ فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ، خَصَّصْتُ لِنَفسِي جَمِيعَ الأبكارِ فِي إسْرائِيلَ، مِنَ النّاسِ وَالحَيواناتِ. هُمْ لِي، أنا اللهَ.»

14 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

ثُمَّ قالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِيناءَ:

15 N umber the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, after their families; every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

«أحصِ اللّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ عائِلاتِهِمْ وَعَشائِرِهِمْ. أحْصِ جَمِيعَ الذُّكُورِ البالِغِينَ شَهراً أوْ أكثَرَ.»

16 A nd Moses numbered them, according to the commandment of Jehovah,—as he had been commanded.

فَأحْصاهُمْ مُوسَى وَفْقاً لِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ.

17 A nd these are the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

وَهَذِهِ هِيَ أسْماءُ أبناءِ لاوِي: جَرْشُونُ وَقَهاتُ وَمَرارِي.

18 A nd these are the names of the sons of Gershon according to their families: Libni and Shimei.

19 A nd the sons of Kohath according to their families: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.

وَأمّا عَشائِرُ قَهاتَ فَهِيَ عَمْرامُ وَيِصْهارُ وَحَبْرُونُ وَعُزِّيئِيلُ.

20 A nd the sons of Merari according to their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.

وَأمّا عَشِيرَتا مَرارِي فَكانَتا: مَحلِي وَمُوشِي. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشائِرُ اللّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ عائِلاتِهِمْ.

21 O f Gershon, the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

23 T he families of the Gershonites encamped behind the tabernacle westward.

كانَتْ عَشيرَتا الجَرشُونِيِّينَ تُخَيِّمانِ خَلفَ المَسْكَنِ إلَى الجِهَةِ الغَربِيَّةِ.

24 A nd the prince of the father's house of the Gershonites was Eliasaph the son of Lael.

وَرَئِيسُ عَشِيرَتا الجَرشُونِيِّينَ هُوَ ألِياسافُ بْنُ لايِلَ.

25 A nd the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting was: the tabernacle and the tent, its covering, and the curtain of the entrance to the tent of meeting.

أمَّا مَسؤولِيَّةُ الجَرشُونِيِّينَ فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ فَهِيَ المَسْكَنُ: الخَيمَةُ وَغِطاؤُها وَسِتارَةُ مَدخَلِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ،

26 A nd the hangings of the court, and the curtain of the entrance to the court, which surrounds the tabernacle and the altar, and the cords thereof for all its service.

وَكانَ عَدَدُ جَمِيعِ ذُكُورِهِمُ البالِغِينَ شَهراً فَأكثَرَ ثَمانِيَةَ آلافٍ وَثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ. وَكانُوا يَقُومُونَ بِواجِباتِهِمْ فِي المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ.

29 T he families of the sons of Kohath encamped on the side of the tabernacle southward.

وَكانَتْ عَشائِرُ القَهاتِيِّينَ تُخَيِّمُ فِي الجِهَةِ الجَنُوبِيَّةِ مِنَ المَسْكَنِ المُقَدَّسِ.

30 A nd the prince of the father's house of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

31 A nd their charge was the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the utensils of the sanctuary with which they ministered, and the curtain, and all that belongs to its service.

وَكانَتْ مَسْؤُوليّةُ القَهاتِيِّينَ هِيَ الصُّندُوقُ المُقَدَّسُ وَالمائِدَةُ وَالمَنارَةُ وَالمَذبَحَ وَمَذْبَحَ البَخُورِ وَآنِيَةِ المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ الَّتِي يَسْتَخْدِمُها الكَهَنَةُ، وَالسِتارَةُ، وَجَمِيعُ الأدَواتِ المُتَعَلِّقَةِ بِالخِدْمَةِ.

32 A nd the prince of princes of the Levites was Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: he had the oversight of them that kept the charge of the sanctuary.

أمّا رَئِيسُ رُؤَساءِ اللّاوِيِّينَ، فَهُوَ ألِيعازارُ بْنُ هارُونَ الكاهِنِ. وَقَدْ كانَ مَسؤُولاً عَنْ القائِمينَ بِواجِباتِ المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ.

38 A nd those who encamped before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrising, were Moses, and Aaron and his sons, who kept the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.

وَكانَ مُوسَى وَهارُونُ وَأولادُ هارُونَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يُخَيِّمُونَ أمامَ المَسْكَنِ فِي الجِهَةِ الشَّرقِيَّةِ، أمامَ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ بِاتِّجاهِ مَشرِقِ الشَّمسِ. كانُوا هُمُ المُشْرِفُونَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الطُّقُوسِ الَّتِي تُقامُ داخِلَ المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ، وَعَنْ جَمِيعِ المَسائِلِ المُتَعَلِّقَةِ بِبَنِي إسْرائيلَ. وَكُلُّ دَخيلٍ يَقْتَرِبُ مِنْ أرْضِهِمْ، كانَ يُقْتَلُ.

39 A ll that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, according to their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.

فَكَانَ عَدَدُ اللّاوِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أحصاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهارُونُ بِحَسَبِ أمرِ اللهِ بِحَسَبِ عَشائِرِهِمْ، اثْنَينِ وَعِشرِينَ ألفاً مِنَ الذُّكُورِ البالِغِينَ شَهراً فَأكثَرَ. اللّاوِيُّونَ بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْر

40 A nd Jehovah said to Moses, Number all the first-born males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «أحصِ كُلَّ الأبْكارِ الذُّكُورِ فِي بَني إسْرائِيلَ الَّذِينَ يَبلُغُونَ شَهراً فَأكثَرَ، وَاكتُبْ قائِمَةً بِأسمائِهِمْ.

41 A nd thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites, instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.

وَخُذِ اللّاوِيِّينَ لِي، أنا اللهُ ، بَدَلَ كُلِّ الأبْكارِ فِي بَني إسْرائِيلَ. وَخُذْ حَيواناتِ اللّاوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ كُلِّ أبْكارِ حَيواناتِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ.»

42 A nd Moses numbered, as Jehovah had commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

فَأحصَى مُوسَى كُلَّ الأبْكارِ فِي بَني إسْرائِيلَ، كَما أمَرَهُ اللهُ.

43 A nd all the firstborn males, by the number of the names, from a month old and upward, according to their numbering, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.

وَكانَ عَدَدُ الأبْكارِ الذُّكُورِ، مُدَوَّنِينَ بِأسمائِهِمْ، مِمَّنْ يَبلُغُونَ شَهراً فَأكثَرَ، اثْنَينِ وَعِشرِينَ ألفاً وَمِئَتَينِ وَثَلاثاً وَسَبعِينَ.

44 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

وَكَلَّمَ اللهُ مُوسَى فَقالَ:

45 T ake the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am Jehovah.

«خُذِ اللّاوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ كُلِّ صَبِيٍّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَني إسْرائِيلَ، وَخُذْ حَيواناتِ اللّاوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ كُلِّ أبْكارِ حَيواناتِ إسْرائِيلَ. اللّاوِيُّونَ لِي، أنا اللهَ.

46 A nd for those that are to be ransomed, the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are in excess over the Levites,

وَلِفِداءِ المِئَتَينِ وَالثَّلاثَ وَالسَّبعِينَ بِكراً فِي بَني إسْرائِيلَ الَّذِينَ زادُوا عَنْ عَدَدِ اللّاوِيِّينَ،

47 t hou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll, according to the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them,—twenty gerahs the shekel;

خُذْ خَمسَةَ مَثَاقيلَ مِنَ الفِضَّةِ لِكُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنهُمْ. وَتَكُونَ الفِدْيَةُ بِحَسَبِ الوَزنِ الرَّسمِيِّ لِلمِثْقالِ: المِثْقالُ بِعِشرِينَ قِيراطاً.

48 a nd thou shalt give the money unto Aaron and unto his sons for those in excess among them who are to be ransomed.

وَأعْطِ المالَ لِهارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ لِفِداءِ المِئَتَينِ وَالثَّلاثَ وَالسَّبعِينَ.»

49 A nd Moses took the ransom-money from them that were over and above those who were ransomed by the Levites;

فَأخَذَ مُوسَى المالَ لِفِداءِ الَّذِينَ زادَ عَدَدُهُمْ عَنْ عَدَدِ اللّاوِيِّينَ.

50 o f the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, a thousand three hundred and sixty-five, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

أخَذَ مُوسَى المالَ مِنْ أبْكارِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ. فَكانَ ألْفاً وَثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ مِثْقالاً بِحَسَبِ الوَزنِ الرَّسمِيِّ.

51 A nd Moses gave the money of them that were ransomed to Aaron and to his sons, according to the commandment of Jehovah,—as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

فَأعطَى مُوسَى، بِأمرِ اللهِ ، مالَ الفِداءِ لِهارُونَ وَأبْنائِهِ وَفْقاً لِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ.
