¹TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,

¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²"Buatlah dua buah trompet dari perak tempaan untuk memanggil rakyat berkumpul atau untuk menyuruh mereka berangkat.

²Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them: and thou shalt use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.

³Kalau keduanya ditiup panjang, berarti seluruh umat harus berkumpul di sekelilingmu di depan pintu Kemah-Ku.

³And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves unto thee at the door of the tent of meeting.

⁴Tetapi kalau satu saja yang ditiup, berarti hanya para pemuka yang harus berkumpul di sekelilingmu.

⁴And if they blow but one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.

⁵Kalau trompet ditiup pendek-pendek, itu tandanya suku-suku yang berkemah di sebelah timur harus berangkat.

⁵And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.

⁶Kalau ditiup pendek-pendek untuk kedua kalinya, maka suku-suku di sebelah selatan harus berangkat. Jadi bunyi yang pendek-pendek berarti umat harus berangkat,

⁶And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

⁷sedangkan bunyi yang panjang berarti umat harus berkumpul.

⁷But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

⁸Trompet-trompet itu harus ditiup oleh para imam, anak-anak Harun. Itulah peraturan yang harus kamu taati untuk selama-lamanya.

⁸And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute for ever throughout your generations.

⁹Dan apabila kamu berperang di negerimu untuk mempertahankan diri terhadap musuh yang menyerang, tiuplah trompet-trompet itu. Maka Aku, TUHAN Allahmu, akan menolong dan menyelamatkan kamu dari musuh-musuhmu.

⁹And when ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

¹⁰Juga pada hari-hari kamu bersukaria, yaitu pada pesta-pesta Bulan Baru dan perayaan-perayaanmu yang lainnya, trompet itu harus ditiup pada waktu kamu mempersembahkan kurban bakaran dan kurban perdamaian kepada-Ku. Maka Aku akan menolong kamu. Akulah TUHAN Allahmu."

¹⁰Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God.

¹¹Dalam tahun kedua sesudah bangsa Israel meninggalkan Mesir, pada tanggal dua puluh bulan dua, naiklah awan dari atas Kemah TUHAN.

¹¹And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony.

¹²Lalu orang Israel berurutan berangkat meninggalkan padang gurun Sinai, dan awan itu berhenti waktu mereka sampai di padang gurun Paran.

¹²And the children of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran.

¹³Itulah pertama kali mereka berangkat atas perintah TUHAN melalui Musa.

¹³And they first took their journey according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.

¹⁴Terdahulu berangkat laskar yang bernaung di bawah panji kesatuan Yehuda, pasukan demi pasukan: Nahason, anak Aminadab memimpin barisan suku Yehuda,

¹⁴And in the first [place] the standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

¹⁵Netaneel anak Zuar memimpin barisan suku Isakhar,

¹⁵And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.

¹⁶dan Eliab anak Helon memimpin barisan suku Zebulon.

¹⁶And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

¹⁷Lalu Kemah TUHAN dibongkar, dan berangkatlah kaum Gerson dan Merari yang memikul Kemah itu.

¹⁷And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bare the tabernacle, set forward.

¹⁸Kemudian berangkatlah laskar yang bernaung di bawah panji kesatuan Ruben, pasukan demi pasukan: Elizur anak Syedeur memimpin barisan suku Ruben.

¹⁸And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

¹⁹Selumiel anak Zurisyadai memimpin barisan suku Simeon,

¹⁹And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

²⁰dan Elyasaf anak Rehuel memimpin barisan suku Gad.

²⁰And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

²¹Sesudah itu berangkatlah orang-orang Kehat yang memikul barang-barang suci. Apabila mereka sampai di tempat perkemahan yang berikut, Kemah TUHAN sudah dipasang lagi.

²¹And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and [the others] did set up the tabernacle against their coming.

²²Kemudian menyusul laskar yang bernaung di bawah panji kesatuan suku Efraim, pasukan demi pasukan: Elisama anak Amihud memimpin barisan suku Efraim,

²²And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud.

²³Gamaliel anak Pedazur memimpin barisan suku Manasye,

²³And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

²⁴dan Abidan anak Gideoni memimpin barisan suku Benyamin.

²⁴And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.

²⁵Akhirnya berangkatlah laskar yang bernaung di bawah panji kesatuan suku Dan. Mereka adalah pengawal belakang semua kesatuan. Mereka berjalan pasukan demi pasukan: Ahiezer anak Amisyadai memimpin barisan suku Dan.

²⁵And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

²⁶Pagiel anak Okhran memimpin barisan suku Asyer,

²⁶And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran.

²⁷dan Ahira anak Enan memimpin barisan suku Naftali.

²⁷And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.

²⁸Itulah urutan berbaris orang Israel, pasukan demi pasukan, setiap kali mereka berangkat untuk pindah.

²⁸Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their hosts; and they set forward.

²⁹Musa berkata kepada iparnya, Hobab anak Rehuel orang Midian, "Kami akan berangkat ke tempat yang menurut kata TUHAN akan diberikan kepada kami. TUHAN telah menjanjikan yang baik kepada orang Israel. Jadi ikutlah, kami akan berbuat baik kepadamu."

²⁹And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying unto the place of which Jehovah said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for Jehovah hath spoken good concerning Israel.

³⁰Jawab Hobab, "Terima kasih, tetapi saya ingin kembali ke kampung halaman saya."

³⁰And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.

³¹"Janganlah meninggalkan kami," kata Musa, "engkau dapat menjadi penunjuk jalan bagi kami, sebab engkau tahu di mana kita dapat berkemah di padang gurun.

³¹And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be to us instead of eyes.

³²Jika engkau ikut, maka segala yang baik yang TUHAN lakukan bagi kami, akan kami lakukan juga bagimu."

³²And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever Jehovah shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.

³³Sesudah bangsa Israel meninggalkan Sinai, gunung kediaman TUHAN, mereka berjalan tiga hari lamanya. Peti Perjanjian TUHAN selalu dibawa mendahului mereka untuk mencari tempat berkemah bagi mereka.

³³And they set forward from the mount of Jehovah three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting-place for them.

³⁴Apabila mereka berangkat dari tempat perkemahan, awan TUHAN selalu ada di atas mereka pada siang hari.

³⁴And the cloud of Jehovah was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp.

³⁵Setiap kali Peti Perjanjian itu akan diangkut, Musa berkata, "Bangkitlah, ya TUHAN, ceraiberaikanlah musuh-Mu sehingga orang yang membenci Engkau melarikan diri."

³⁵And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, O Jehovah, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

³⁶Dan setiap kali Peti Perjanjian itu sampai di tempat perhentian, Musa berkata, "Kembalilah, ya TUHAN, kepada ribuan keluarga Israel."

³⁶And when it rested, he said, Return, O Jehovah, unto the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.
