The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 God spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai at the Tent of Meeting on the first day of the second month in the second year after they had left Egypt. He said,
1
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen in deserto Sinai in tabernaculo foederis prima die mensis secundi anno altero egressionis eorum ex Aegypto dicens
2 "Number the congregation of the People of Israel by clans and families, writing down the names of every male.
2
tollite summam universae congregationis filiorum Israhel per cognationes et domos suas et nomina singulorum quicquid sexus est masculini
3 You and Aaron are to register, company by company, every man who is twenty years and older who is able to fight in the army.
3
a vicesimo anno et supra omnium virorum fortium ex Israhel et numerabitis eos per turmas suas tu et Aaron
4 Pick one man from each tribe who is head of his family to help you.

17 Moses and Aaron took these men who had been named to help
17
quos tulerunt Moses et Aaron cum omni vulgi multitudine
18 and gathered the whole congregation together on the first day of the second month. The people registered themselves in their tribes according to their ancestral families, putting down the names of those who were twenty years old and older,

48
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
49 "The tribe of Levi is an exception: Don't register them. Don't count the tribe of Levi; don't include them in the general census of the People of Israel.
49
tribum Levi noli numerare neque ponas summam eorum cum filiis Israhel
50 Instead, appoint the Levites to be in charge of The Dwelling of The Testimony - over all its furnishings and everything connected with it. Their job is to carry The Dwelling and all its furnishings, maintain it, and camp around it.
50
sed constitue eos super tabernaculum testimonii cuncta vasa eius et quicquid ad caerimonias pertinet ipsi portabunt tabernaculum et omnia utensilia eius et erunt in ministerio ac per gyrum tabernaculi metabuntur
51 When it's time to move The Dwelling, the Levites will take it down, and when it's time to set it up, the Levites will do it. Anyone else who even goes near it will be put to death.
51
cum proficiscendum fuerit deponent Levitae tabernaculum cum castra metanda erigent quisquis externorum accesserit occidetur
52 "The rest of the People of Israel will set up their tents in companies, every man in his own camp under its own flag.
52
metabuntur autem castra filii Israhel unusquisque per turmas et cuneos atque exercitum suum
53 But the Levites will set up camp around The Dwelling of The Testimony so that wrath will not fall on the community of Israel. The Levites are responsible for the security of The Dwelling of The Testimony."
53
porro Levitae per gyrum tabernaculi figent tentoria ne fiat indignatio super multitudinem filiorum Israhel et excubabunt in custodiis tabernaculi testimonii
54 The People of Israel did everything that God commanded Moses. They did it all.
54
fecerunt ergo filii Israhel iuxta omnia quae praeceperat Dominus Mosi
