民数记 10
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
制造银号
10 耶和华对摩西说： 2 “你要用银子作两枝号，要锤出来的，可以用来召集会众，也可以叫会众拔营起行。 3 吹号的时候，全体会众都要到你那里，聚集在会幕的门口。 4 如果单吹一枝，众领袖，就是以色列的族长，都要到你那里聚集。 5 你们吹大声的时候，那在东边的营，都要起行。 6 你们第二次吹大声的时候，那在南边的营，都要起行；他们要起行，必须吹大声。 7 但召集会众的时候，你们要吹号，却不要吹大声。 8 亚伦的子孙作祭司的要作吹号的；这要作你们世世代代永远的条例。 9 你们在本地与欺压你们的仇敌作战的时候，就要吹大声，使你们在耶和华你们的 神面前得蒙记念，也得拯救脱离你们的仇敌。 10 此外，在你们快乐的日子和指定的节期，以及月朔，你们献燔祭和平安祭的时候，也要吹号，这都要在你们的 神面前替你们作为记念；我是耶和华你们的 神。”
由西奈起程之次序
11 第二年二月二十日，云彩从法柜的帐幕收上去的时候， 12 以色列人就从西奈旷野按站起行；云彩在巴兰旷野停住了。 13 这是他们第一次照着耶和华藉摩西吩咐他们的起程。 14 犹大营的旗号，按着他们的队伍，首先起行；统领队伍的，是亚米拿达的儿子拿顺。 15 统领以萨迦支派队伍的，是苏押的儿子拿坦业。 16 统领西布伦支派队伍的，是希伦的儿子以利押。
17 帐幕拆下来以后，革顺的子孙和米拉利的子孙，就抬着帐幕起行。 18 流本营的旗号，按着他们的队伍起行；统领队伍的，是示丢珥的儿子以利蓿。 19 统领西缅支派的，是苏利沙代的儿子示路蔑。 20 统领迦得支派队伍的，是丢珥的儿子以利雅萨。
21 哥辖人抬着圣物起行；他们到达之前，人已经把帐幕竖立起来。 22 以法莲营的旗号，按着他们的队伍起行；统领队伍的，是亚米忽的儿子以利沙玛。 23 统领玛拿西支派队伍的，是比大蓿的儿子迦玛列。 24 统领便雅悯支派队伍的，是基多尼的儿子亚比但。
25 但营的旗号，作众营的后队，按着他们的队伍起行；统领队伍的，是亚米沙代的儿子亚希以谢。 26 统领亚设支派队伍的，是俄兰的儿子帕结。 27 统领拿弗他利支派队伍的，是以南的儿子亚希拉。 28 这是以色列人起行的时候，按着他们的队伍起行的次序。
29 摩西对自己的岳父米甸人流珥的儿子何巴说：“我们要起行到耶和华应许的地方去，他曾说：‘我要把那地赐给你们’，现在求你与我们同去，我们必善待你，因为耶和华对以色列已经应许福乐。” 30 何巴对摩西说：“我不去，我要归回我本地本族那里去。” 31 摩西说：“求你不要离开我们，因为你知道我们应怎样在旷野安营，你可以作我们的眼目。 32 如果你与我们同去，将来耶和华用甚么好处待我们，我们也必用甚么好处待你。”
33 以色列人从耶和华的山起行，行了三天的路程，耶和华的约柜在他们前面行了三天的路程，为他们寻找安息的地方。 34 他们拔营起行的时候，日间总有耶和华的云彩在他们上头。
35 约柜起行的时候，摩西就说：
“耶和华啊，求你起来，
愿你的仇敌四散；
愿恨你的人从你面前逃跑。”
36 约柜停住的时候，他就说：
“耶和华啊，求你归来，
回到以色列的千万人中。”

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Two Silver Trumpets
10 The Lord spoke to Moses: 2 ‘Make two trumpets of hammered silver to summon the community(A) and have the camps set out. 3 When both are sounded in long blasts, the entire community is to gather before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 4 However, if one is sounded, only the leaders, the heads of Israel’s clans,(B) are to gather before you.
5 ‘When you sound short blasts, the camps pitched on the east(C) are to set out. 6 When you sound short blasts a second time, the camps pitched on the south(D) are to set out. Short blasts are to be sounded for them to set out. 7 When calling the assembly together, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones. 8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. Your use of these is a permanent statute throughout your generations.
9 ‘When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who is attacking you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the Lord your God and be saved from your enemies.(E) 10 You are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and your fellowship sacrifices and on your joyous occasions, your appointed festivals, and the beginning of each of your months. They will serve as a reminder for you before your God: I am the Lord your God.’(F)
From Sinai to Paran
11 During the second year, in the second month on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud was lifted up above the tabernacle of the testimony. 12 The Israelites travelled on from the Wilderness of Sinai, moving from one place to the next(G) until the cloud stopped in the Wilderness of Paran.(H) 13 They set out for the first time according to the Lord’s command through Moses.(I)
14 The military divisions of the camp of Judah’s descendants with their banner set out first, and Nahshon son of Amminadab(J) was over their divisions. 15 Nethanel son of Zuar(K) was over the division of the tribe of Issachar’s descendants, 16 and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun’s descendants. 17 The tabernacle was then taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, transporting the tabernacle.
18 The military divisions of the camp of Reuben with their banner set out, and Elizur son of Shedeur was over their divisions. 19 Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai(L) was over the division of the tribe of Simeon’s descendants, 20 and Eliasaph son of Deuel[a] was over the division of the tribe of Gad’s descendants. 21 The Kohathites then set out, transporting the holy objects;(M) the tabernacle was to be set up before their arrival.
22 Next the military divisions of the camp of Ephraim’s descendants with their banner set out, and Elishama son of Ammihud(N) was over their divisions. 23 Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh’s descendants, 24 and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin’s descendants.
25 The military divisions of the camp of Dan’s descendants with their banner set out, serving as rear guard for all the camps, and Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai(O) was over their divisions. 26 Pagiel son of Ochran was over the division of the tribe of Asher’s descendants, 27 and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali’s descendants. 28 This was the order of march for the Israelites by their military divisions as they set out.
29 Moses said to Hobab, descendant of Reuel(P) the Midianite and Moses’s relative by marriage, ‘We’re setting out for the place the Lord promised, “I will give it to you.”(Q) Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the Lord has promised good things to Israel.’(R)
30 But he replied to him, ‘I don’t want to go. Instead, I will go to my own land and my relatives.’
31 ‘Please don’t leave us,’ Moses said, ‘since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes. 32 If you come with us, whatever good the Lord does for us we will do for you.’(S)
33 They set out from the mountain of the Lord on a three-day journey with the ark of the Lord’s covenant travelling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.(T) 34 Meanwhile, the cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.
35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say:
Arise, Lord!
Let your enemies be scattered,
and those who hate you flee from your presence.(U)
36 When it came to rest, he would say:
Return, Lord,
to the countless thousands of Israel.(V)

The Silver Trumpets
10 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Make two trumpets. Use silver and hammer it to make the trumpets. These trumpets will be for calling the people together and for telling them when it is time to move the camp. 3 If you blow long blasts on both trumpets, all the people must meet together at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. 4 But if you blow long blasts on only one trumpet, only the leaders will come to meet with you. (These are the leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel.)
5 “Short blasts on the trumpets will be the way to tell the people to move the camp. The first time you blow a short blast on the trumpets, the tribes camping on the east side of the Meeting Tent must begin to move. 6 The second time you blow a short blast on the trumpets, the tribes camping on the south side of the Meeting Tent will begin to move. 7 But if you want to gather the people together for a special meeting, blow the trumpets in a different way—blow a long steady blast on the trumpets. 8 Only Aaron’s sons, the priests, should blow the trumpets. This is a law for you that will continue forever, for generations to come.
9 “If you are fighting an enemy in your own land, blow loudly on the trumpets before you go to fight them. The Lord your God will hear you, and he will save you from your enemies. 10 Also blow these trumpets for your special meetings, New Moon celebrations, and all your happy times together. Blow the trumpets when you give your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. This will be a special way for your God to remember you. I command you to do this; I am the Lord your God.”
The Israelites Move Their Camp
11 On the 20th day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites left Egypt, the cloud rose from above the Tent of the Agreement. 12 So the Israelites began their journey. They left the desert of Sinai and traveled until the cloud stopped in the desert of Paran. 13 This was the first time the people moved their camp. They moved it the way the Lord commanded Moses.
14 The three divisions from Judah’s camp went first. They traveled under their flag. The first group was the tribe of Judah. Nahshon son of Amminadab was the commander of that group. 15 Next came the tribe of Issachar. Nethanel son of Zuar was the commander of that group. 16 And then came the tribe of Zebulun. Eliab son of Helon was the commander of that group.
17 Then the Holy Tent was taken down. And the men from the Gershon and the Merari families carried the Holy Tent. So the people from these families were next in line.
18 Then came the three divisions from Reuben’s camp. They traveled under their flag. The first group was the tribe of Reuben. Elizur son of Shedeur was the commander of that group. 19 Next came the tribe of Simeon. Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was the commander of that group. 20 And then came the tribe of Gad. Eliasaph son of Deuel[a] was the commander of that group. 21 Then came the Kohath family. They carried the holy things from inside the Holy Tent. These people came at this time so that the other people could set up the Holy Tent and make it ready at the new camp before these people arrived.
22 Next came the three groups from Ephraim’s camp. They traveled under their flag. The first group was the tribe of Ephraim. Elishama son of Ammihud was the commander of that group. 23 Next came the tribe of Manasseh. Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was the commander of that group. 24 Then came the tribe of Benjamin. Abidan son of Gideoni was the commander of that group.
25 The last three tribes in the line were the rear guard for all the other tribes. These were the groups from Dan’s camp. They traveled under their flag. The first group was the tribe of Dan. Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai was their commander. 26 Next came the tribe of Asher. Pagiel son of Ocran was the commander of that group. 27 Then came the tribe of Naphtali. Ahira son of Enan was the commander of that group. 28 That was the way the Israelites marched when they moved from place to place.
29 Hobab was the son of Reuel, the Midianite. (Reuel was Moses’ father-in-law.) Moses said to Hobab, “We are traveling to the land that the Lord promised to give to us. Come with us and we will be good to you. The Lord has promised good things to the Israelites.”
30 But Hobab answered, “No, I will not go with you. I will go back to my homeland and to my own people.”
31 Then Moses said, “Please don’t leave us. You know more about the desert than we do. You can be our guide. 32 If you come with us, we will share with you all the good things that the Lord gives us.”
33 So they began traveling from the mountain of the Lord. The priests took the Box of the Lord’s Agreement and walked in front of the people. They carried the Holy Box for three days, looking for a place to camp. 34 The Lord’s cloud was over them every day. And when they left their camp every morning, the cloud was there to lead them.
35 When the people lifted the Holy Box to move the camp, Moses always said,
“Get up, Lord!
May your enemies be scattered.
May your enemies run away from you.”
36 And when the Holy Box was put in its place, Moses always said,
“Come back, Lord,
to the millions of Israelites.”
