Numbers 10
Complete Jewish Bible
10 Adonai said to Moshe, 2 “Make two trumpets; make them of hammered silver. Use them for summoning the community and for sounding the call to break camp and move on. 3 When they are sounded, the entire community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 4 If only one is sounded, then just the leaders, the heads of the clans of Isra’el, are to assemble before you.
5 “When you sound an alarm, the camps to the east will commence traveling. 6 When you sound a second alarm, the camps to the south will set out; they will sound alarms to announce when to travel. 7 However, when the community is to be assembled, you are to sound; but don’t sound an alarm. 8 It will be the sons of Aharon, the cohanim, who are to sound the trumpets; this will be a permanent regulation for you through all your generations.
9 “When you go to war in your land against an adversary who is oppressing you, you are to sound an alarm with the trumpets; then you will be remembered before Adonai your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.
10 “Also on your days of rejoicing, at your designated times and on Rosh-Hodesh, you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; these will be your reminder before your God. I am Adonai your God.”
(v) 11 On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony; 12 and the people of Isra’el moved out in stages from the Sinai Desert. The cloud stopped in the Pa’ran Desert.
13 So they set out on their first journey, in keeping with Adonai’s order through Moshe. 14 In the lead was the banner of the camp of the descendants of Y’hudah, whose companies moved forward; over his company was Nachshon the son of ‘Amminadav. 15 Over the company of the tribe of the descendants of Yissakhar was N’tan’el the son of Tzu‘ar. 16 Over the company of the descendants of Z’vulun was Eli’av the son of Helon.
17 Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the descendants of Gershon and the descendants of M’rari set out, carrying the tabernacle.
18 Next, the banner of the camp of Re’uven moved forward by companies; over his company was Elitzur the son of Sh’de’ur. 19 Over the company of the tribe of the descendants of Shim‘on was Shlumi’el the son of Tzurishaddai. 20 Over the company of the descendants of Gad was Elyasaf the son of De‘u’el.
21 Then the descendants of K’hat set out, carrying the sanctuary, so that [at the next camp] the tabernacle could be set up before they arrived.
22 The banner of the camp of the descendants of Efrayim moved forward by companies; over his company was Elishama the son of ‘Ammihud. 23 Over the company of the tribe of the descendants of M’nasheh was Gamli’el the son of P’dahtzur. 24 Over the company of the descendants of Binyamin was Avidan the son of Gid‘oni.
25 The banner of the camp of the descendants of Dan, forming the rearguard for all the camps, moved forward by companies; over his company was Achi‘ezer the son of ‘Ammishaddai. 26 Over the company of the tribe of the descendants of Asher was Pag‘i’el the son of ‘Okhran. 27 Over the company of the descendants of Naftali was Achira the son of ‘Enan.
28 This is how the people of Isra’el traveled by companies; thus they moved forward.
(S: vi) 29 Moshe said to Hovav the son of Re‘u’el the Midyani, Moshe’s father-in-law, “We are traveling to the place about which Adonai said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, because Adonai has promised good things to Isra’el.” 30 But he replied, “I will not go; I would rather go back to my own country and my own kinsmen.” 31 Moshe continued, “Please don’t leave us, because you know that we have to camp in the desert, and you can serve as our eyes. 32 If you do go with us, then whatever good Adonai does for us, we will do the same for you.”
33 So they set out from Adonai’s mountain and traveled for three days. Ahead of them on this three-day journey went the ark of Adonai’s covenant, searching for a new place to stop. 34 The cloud of Adonai was over them during the day as they set out from the camp. (A: vi) 35 When the ark moved forward, Moshe said,
“Arise, Adonai! May your enemies be scattered!
Let those who hate you flee before you!”
36 When it stopped, he said,
“Return, Adonai of the many, many
thousands of Isra’el!”
民数记 10
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
製造銀號
10 耶和華對摩西說： 2 “你要用銀子作兩枝號，要錘出來的，可以用來召集會眾，也可以叫會眾拔營起行。 3 吹號的時候，全體會眾都要到你那裡，聚集在會幕的門口。 4 如果單吹一枝，眾領袖，就是以色列的族長，都要到你那裡聚集。 5 你們吹大聲的時候，那在東邊的營，都要起行。 6 你們第二次吹大聲的時候，那在南邊的營，都要起行；他們要起行，必須吹大聲。 7 但召集會眾的時候，你們要吹號，卻不要吹大聲。 8 亞倫的子孫作祭司的要作吹號的；這要作你們世世代代永遠的條例。 9 你們在本地與欺壓你們的仇敵作戰的時候，就要吹大聲，使你們在耶和華你們的 神面前得蒙記念，也得拯救脫離你們的仇敵。 10 此外，在你們快樂的日子和指定的節期，以及月朔，你們獻燔祭和平安祭的時候，也要吹號，這都要在你們的 神面前替你們作為記念；我是耶和華你們的 神。”
由西奈起程之次序
11 第二年二月二十日，雲彩從法櫃的帳幕收上去的時候， 12 以色列人就從西奈曠野按站起行；雲彩在巴蘭曠野停住了。 13 這是他們第一次照著耶和華藉摩西吩咐他們的起程。 14 猶大營的旗號，按著他們的隊伍，首先起行；統領隊伍的，是亞米拿達的兒子拿順。 15 統領以薩迦支派隊伍的，是蘇押的兒子拿坦業。 16 統領西布倫支派隊伍的，是希倫的兒子以利押。
17 帳幕拆下來以後，革順的子孫和米拉利的子孫，就抬著帳幕起行。 18 流本營的旗號，按著他們的隊伍起行；統領隊伍的，是示丟珥的兒子以利蓿。 19 統領西緬支派的，是蘇利沙代的兒子示路蔑。 20 統領迦得支派隊伍的，是丟珥的兒子以利雅薩。
21 哥轄人抬著聖物起行；他們到達之前，人已經把帳幕豎立起來。 22 以法蓮營的旗號，按著他們的隊伍起行；統領隊伍的，是亞米忽的兒子以利沙瑪。 23 統領瑪拿西支派隊伍的，是比大蓿的兒子迦瑪列。 24 統領便雅憫支派隊伍的，是基多尼的兒子亞比但。
25 但營的旗號，作眾營的後隊，按著他們的隊伍起行；統領隊伍的，是亞米沙代的兒子亞希以謝。 26 統領亞設支派隊伍的，是俄蘭的兒子帕結。 27 統領拿弗他利支派隊伍的，是以南的兒子亞希拉。 28 這是以色列人起行的時候，按著他們的隊伍起行的次序。
29 摩西對自己的岳父米甸人流珥的兒子何巴說：“我們要起行到耶和華應許的地方去，他曾說：‘我要把那地賜給你們’，現在求你與我們同去，我們必善待你，因為耶和華對以色列已經應許福樂。” 30 何巴對摩西說：“我不去，我要歸回我本地本族那裡去。” 31 摩西說：“求你不要離開我們，因為你知道我們應怎樣在曠野安營，你可以作我們的眼目。 32 如果你與我們同去，將來耶和華用甚麼好處待我們，我們也必用甚麼好處待你。”
33 以色列人從耶和華的山起行，行了三天的路程，耶和華的約櫃在他們前面行了三天的路程，為他們尋找安息的地方。 34 他們拔營起行的時候，日間總有耶和華的雲彩在他們上頭。
35 約櫃起行的時候，摩西就說：
“耶和華啊，求你起來，
願你的仇敵四散；
願恨你的人從你面前逃跑。”
36 約櫃停住的時候，他就說：
“耶和華啊，求你歸來，
回到以色列的千萬人中。”
