1:1 以色列人出埃及国后第二年二月一日，上主在西乃旷野于会幕内训示梅瑟说：
In the year following that of the Israelites' departure from the land of Egypt, on the first day of the second month, the LORD said to Moses in the meeting tent in the desert of Sinai: 1:2 「你们要依照以色列子民的宗教和家系，统计全会众的人口，把男丁的姓名都一一登记。
"Take a census of the whole community of the Israelites, by clans and ancestral houses, registering each male individually. 1:3 在以色列中，凡二十岁以上能上阵作战的，你和亚郎要一队一队地统计。
You and Aaron shall enroll in companies all the men in Israel of twenty years or more who are fit for military service. 1:4 每一支派有一人同你们合作，他们都是各宗族的族长。
"To assist you there shall be a man from each tribe, the head of his ancestral house. 1:5 那协助你们的人名如下：勒乌本支派，是舍德乌尔的儿子厄里族尔；
These are the names of those who are to assist you: from Reuben: Elizur, son of Shedeur; 1:6 西默盎支派，是族黎沙待的儿子舍路米耳；

These were councilors of the community, princes of their ancestral tribes, chiefs of the troops of Israel. 1:17 梅瑟和亚郎就带着这些提名派定的人，
So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated, 1:18 于二月一日召集了全会众，人都依照宗族和家系登了记，由二十岁以上的，都一一将姓名登了记。

The Levites, however, were not registered by ancestral tribe with the others. 1:48 因为上主曾训示梅瑟说：「
For the LORD had told Moses, 1:49 只有肋未支派，不要登记，不要将他们列在以色列子民内。
"The tribe of Levi alone you shall not enroll nor include in the census along with the other Israelites. 1:50 你应派肋未人管理会幕和其中一切器皿，并一切附属物。他们要搬运会幕和其中一切器皿，在会幕中服务，住在会幕的四周。
You are to give the Levites charge of the Dwelling of the commandments with all its equipment and all that belongs to it. It is they who shall carry the Dwelling with all its equipment and who shall be its ministers. They shall therefore camp around the Dwelling. 1:51 会幕要迁移时，肋未人拆卸；会幕要搭扎时，肋未人张搭；若俗人走近，应处死刑。
When the Dwelling is to move on, the Levites shall take it down; when the Dwelling is to be pitched, it is the Levites who shall set it up. Any layman who comes near it shall be put to death. 1:52 以色列子民应分队扎营，各归本旗。
While the other Israelites shall camp by companies, each in his own division of the camp, 1:53 但肋未人应在会幕四周扎营，免得以色列子民会众触犯天怒；肋未人应负责看守会幕。」
the Levites shall camp around the Dwelling of the commandments. Otherwise God’s wrath will strike the Israelite community. The Levites, then, shall have charge of the Dwelling of the commandments." 1:54 以色列子民都照办了；上主怎样吩咐了梅瑟，他们就怎样办了。
All this the Israelites fulfilled as the LORD had commanded Moses.
