民數記 10

¹耶和華曉諭摩西說：Then the LORD said to Moses,

²「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。“Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out.

³吹這號的時候，全會眾要到你那裡，聚集在會幕門口。When both are sounded, the whole congregation is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

⁴若單吹一枝，眾首領，就是以色列軍中的統領，要聚集到你那裡。But if only one is sounded, then the leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, are to gather before you.

⁵吹出大聲的時候，東邊安的營都要起行。When you sound short blasts, the camps that lie on the east side are to set out.

⁶二次吹出大聲的時候，南邊安的營都要起行。他們將起行，必吹出大聲。When you sound the short blasts a second time, the camps that lie on the south side are to set out. The blasts are to signal them to set out.

⁷但招聚會眾的時候，你們要吹號，卻不要吹出大聲。To convene the assembly, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones.

⁸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。The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. This shall be a permanent statute for you and the generations to come.

⁹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　神面前得蒙紀念，也蒙拯救脫離仇敵。When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who attacks you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God and saved from your enemies.

¹⁰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　神面前作為紀念。我是耶和華─你們的　神。」And on your joyous occasions, your appointed feasts, and the beginning of each month, you are to blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and peace offerings to serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”

¹¹第二年二月二十日，雲彩從法櫃的帳幕收上去。On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle of the Testimony,

¹²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。and the Israelites set out from the Wilderness of Sinai, traveling from place to place until the cloud settled in the Wilderness of Paran.

¹³這是他們照耶和華藉摩西所吩咐的，初次往前行。They set out this first time according to the LORD’s command through Moses.

¹⁴按著軍隊首先往前行的是猶大營的纛。統領軍隊的是亞米拿達的兒子拿順。First, the divisions of the camp of Judah set out under their standard, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command.

¹⁵統領以薩迦支派軍隊的是蘇押的兒子拿坦業。Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar,

¹⁶統領西布倫支派軍隊的是希倫的兒子以利押。and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun.

¹⁷帳幕拆卸，革順的子孫和米拉利的子孫就抬著帳幕先往前行。Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, transporting it.

¹⁸按著軍隊往前行的是流便營的纛。統領軍隊的是示丟珥的兒子以利蓿。Then the divisions of the camp of Reuben set out under their standard, with Elizur son of Shedeur in command.

¹⁹統領西緬支派軍隊的是蘇利沙代的兒子示路蔑。Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon,

²⁰統領迦得支派軍隊的是丟珥的兒子以利雅薩。and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad.

²¹哥轄人抬著聖物先往前行。他們未到以前，抬帳幕的已經把帳幕支好。Then the Kohathites set out, transporting the holy objects; the tabernacle was to be set up before their arrival.

²²按著軍隊往前行的是以法蓮營的纛，統領軍隊的是亞米忽的兒子以利沙瑪。Next, the divisions of the camp of Ephraim set out under their standard, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command.

²³統領瑪拿西支派軍隊的是比大蓿的兒子迦瑪列。Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,

²⁴統領便雅憫支派軍隊的是基多尼的兒子亞比但。and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.

²⁵在諸營末後的是但營的纛，按著軍隊往前行。統領軍隊的是亞米沙代的兒子亞希以謝。Finally, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard, serving as the rear guard for all units, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command.

²⁶統領亞設支派軍隊的是俄蘭的兒子帕結。Pagiel son of Ocran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,

²⁷統領拿弗他利支派軍隊的是以南的兒子亞希拉。and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.

²⁸以色列人按著軍隊往前行，就是這樣。This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.

²⁹摩西對他岳父（或譯：內兄）─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，因為耶和華指著以色列人已經應許給好處。」Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of Moses’ father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said: ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”

³⁰何巴回答說：「我不去；我要回本地本族那裡去。」“I will not go,” Hobab replied. “Instead, I am going back to my own land and my own people.”

³¹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。“Please do not leave us,” Moses said, “since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes.

³²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。」If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us.”

³³以色列人離開耶和華的山，往前行了三天的路程；耶和華的約櫃在前頭行了三天的路程，為他們尋找安歇的地方。So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.

³⁴他們拔營往前行，日間有耶和華的雲彩在他們以上。And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

³⁵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！」Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”

³⁶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！」And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”
