¹It happened on the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, with all its furniture, and the altar with all its vessels, and had anointed and sanctified them;

¹در همان روزی که موسی برافراشتن خیمۀ حضور خداوند را تمام کرد و تمام اثاثیه و لوازم آن را همراه با قربانگاه و ظروف آن مسح و تقدیس نمود،

²that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes. These are they who were over those who were numbered:

²رهبران قوم اسرائیل، یعنی مو سفیدان قبایل که مسئول سرشماری بودند،

³and they brought their offering before Yahweh, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle.

³هدایای خود را که عبارت بودند از شش عراده - یک عراده از طرف دو رهبر - و دوازده گاو که هر عراده را دو گاو کش می کردند در پیشروی خیمه بحضور خداوند تقدیم کردند.

⁴Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

⁴خداوند به موسی فرمود: «هدایای شان را قبول کن و آن ها را به لاویان بده تا در وظایف خود از آن ها استفاده کنند.»

⁵“Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the service of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.”

⁵پس موسی عراده ها و گاوها را برای لاویان برد.

⁶Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.

⁶دو عراده و چهار گاو را به خانوادۀ جرشون داد.

⁷He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon, according to their service:

⁷چهار عراده و هشت گاو را در اختیار خانوادۀ مراری که زیر نظر ایتامار، پسر هارون خدمت می کردند، گذاشت تا در وظایف خود از آن ها کار بگیرند.

⁸and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

⁸اما به خانوادۀ قهات عراده یا گاوی داده نشد، زیرا آن ها مسئول مراقبت اشیای مقدس بودند و آن ها را بر دوش خود حمل می کردند.

⁹But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged to them; they carried it on their shoulders.

⁹در همان روز، رهبران قوم هدایائی برای تقدیس قربانگاه هم آوردند. وقتیکه می خواستند هدایا را در پیشروی قربانگاه تقدیم کنند،

¹⁰The princes gave offerings for the dedication of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes gave their offerings before the altar.

¹⁰خداوند به موسی فرمود: «هر روز یکی از رهبران، هدیۀ خود را برای تقدیس قربانگاه تقدیم کنند.»

¹¹Yahweh said to Moses, “They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar.”

¹¹رهبران هدیه های خود را به این ترتیب آوردند. روز اول، نحشون، پسر عمیناداب، از قبیلۀ یهودا؛ روز دوم، نتنائیل، پسر صوغر، از قبیلۀ ایسَسکار؛ روز سوم اِلیاب، پسر حیلون، از قبیله زبولون؛ روز چهارم، اَلیصور، پسر شَدَینور، از قبیلۀ رؤبین؛ روز پنجم، شلومی ئیل، پسر صوریشدای، از قبیلۀ شمعون؛ روز ششم، اَلیاساف، پسر دعویل، از قبیلۀ جاد؛ روز هفتم، الیشمع، پسر عمیهود، از قبیلۀ افرایم؛ روز هشتم، جَملی ئیل، پسر فَدَهسور، از قبیلۀ مَنَسّی؛ روز نهم، اَبیدان، پسر جِدعونی، از قبیلۀ بنیامین؛ روز دهم، اَخیعَزَر، پسر عمیشدای، از قبیلۀ دان؛ روز یازدهم، فَجعیئیل، پسر عُکران، از قبیلۀ اَشیر؛ روز دوازدهم، اَخیرَع، پسر عینان، از قبیلۀ نفتالی. هدیه های هر یک از رهبران مشابه یکدیگر بودند و آن ها این اشیا را تقدیم کردند: یک پطنوس نقره ای به وزن یک و نیم کیلوگرام، یک کاسۀ نقره ای به وزن هشتصد گرام، هردو ظرف پُر از آرد اعلی مخلوط با روغن برای هدیۀ آردی بودند. یک ظرف طلائی به وزن یکصد و ده گرام پُر از مواد خوشبوئی، یک نرگاو جوان، یک قوچ و یک برۀ نر یکساله برای قربانی سوختنی؛ یک بز نر برای قربانی گناه؛ دو نرگاو، پنج قوچ، پنج بز نر و پنج برۀ نر یکساله برای قربانی سلامتی.

¹³and his offering was: one silver platter, the weight of which was one hundred thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering;
